When remapping an anonymous, private mapping, if MREMAP_DONTUNMAP is
set, the source mapping will not be removed. The remap operation
will be performed as it would have been normally by moving over the
page tables to the new mapping. The old vma will have any locked
flags cleared, have no pagetables, and any userfaultfds that were
watching that range will continue watching it.

For a mapping that is shared or not anonymous, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP will cause
the mremap() call to fail. Because MREMAP_DONTUNMAP always results in moving
a VMA you MUST use the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag. The final result is two
equally sized VMAs where the destination contains the PTEs of the source.

We hope to use this in Chrome OS where with userfaultfd we could write
an anonymous mapping to disk without having to STOP the process or worry
about VMA permission changes.

This feature also has a use case in Android, Lokesh Gidra has said
that "As part of using userfaultfd for GC, We'll have to move the physical
pages of the java heap to a separate location. For this purpose mremap
will be used. Without the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag, when I mremap the java
heap, its virtual mapping will be removed as well. Therefore, we'll
require performing mmap immediately after. This is not only time consuming
but also opens a time window where a native thread may call mmap and
reserve the java heap's address range for its own usage. This flag
solves the problem."

  v5 -> v6:
    - Code cleanup suggested by Kirill.

  v4 -> v5:
    - Correct commit message to more accurately reflect the behavior.
    - Clear VM_LOCKED and VM_LOCKEDONFAULT on the old vma.

Add a few simple self tests for the new flag MREMAP_DONTUNMAP,
they are simple smoke tests which also demonstrate the behavior.

Thanks.

We're a bit thin on review activity on this one.  Has Lokesh been able
to review and preferably test the code?  Are you able to identify other
potential users?  perhaps even glibc?

I've validated the change, that it works for me, through manual
testing. The android runtime changes will follow shortly.

Description and implemenation looks clean/sane for me.

Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

When I review the patch, it seems to be broken with lots of "=20", not
sure it's my mail client problem or yours. Anyway, please double check
it.

Thanks.

I have hard time understanding the case when new_len != old_len.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but looks like that you change the size of old
mapping to be the new_len and then create a new of the same new_len.

This doesn't look right to me.

In my opinion, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP has to leave the old mapping intact. And
create the new mapping adjusted to the new_len.

Other option is to force new_len == old_len if MREMAP_DONTUNMAP is
specified. It would simplify the implementation. And I don't see why
anybody would really want anything else.

Not related to the effort directly, but do we really use offset_in_page()
as a substitute for IS_ERR() here. That's disgusting.

So we remove old map here.

And here we got error if the addr is in non-anonymous-private vma so the
syscall will fail but old vma is gone? I guess it's not your intention?

Hi Minchan,

This is exactly what happens today in several situations, because
vma_to_resize is called unconditionally. For example if the old vma
has VM_HUGETLB and old_len < new_len it would have unmapped a portion
and then in vma_to_resize returned -EINVAL, similarly when old_len = 0
with a non-sharable mapping it will have called do_munmap only to fail
in vma_to_resize, if the vma has VM_DONTEXPAND set and you shrink the
size with old_len < new_len it would return -EFAULT after having done
the unmap on the decreased portion. So I followed the pattern to keep
the change simple and maintain consistency with existing behavior.

But with that being said, Kirill made the point that resizing a VMA
while also using MREMAP_DONTUNMAP doesn't have any clear use case and
I agree with that, I'm unable to think of a situation where you'd want
to resize a VMA and use MREMAP_DONTUNMAP. So I'm tempted to mail a new
version which returns -EINVAL if old_len != new_len that would resolve
this concern here as nothing would be unmapped ever at the old
position add it would clean up the change to very few lines of code.

What do you think?

Thank you for taking the time to review.

Brian

Sorry I should clarify that this is the behavior with MREMAP_FIXED is
used, and to expand on that, it would potentially even have unmapped
the region at the destination address and then fail in vma_to_resize
too, so I hope that explains why that check landed there. But should
these situations be considered a bug?

Fair enough. It seems to be very old existing behavior but man page
never mention about it. :(

Agreed. That makes code more simple/clean.

Thanks!

I had been approaching this as, "do what mremap would have done in
this situation except skip the last step." Meaning, whatever the final
state of the old mapping was MREMAP_DONTUNMAP meant that you should
just not do the unmap operation on the old mapping at the end. But I
understand why it's confusing, especially when in the case of the VMA
growing you're left with the old vma of size old_len and the new_vma
of size new_len but only containing old_len worth of pages.
Personally, I don't think this is a problem having that behavior
because it can be documented and it just adds a small amount of
flexibility.

Nonetheless, I agree with you and I also cannot come up with a
situation where you'd actually want to do this so I'm willing to
restrict it to old_len == new_len and return -EINVAL if not, it
simplifies it a bit and accounting becomes a easier because the
outcome is always the same two mappings of size old_len and the size
of the locked_vm never changes. We can always allow the resize
operation later if there becomes a need. If everyone is okay with this
restriction I can send a new patch.

Thank you again,
Brian

If anyone would want to chagne size it can be archived by followup
mremap() operations. There's no need in one-shot operation.
