Repro steps:
In one terminal:
$ mkdir mount
$ gcc -o hello hello.c -Wall -std=gnu99 `pkg-config fuse --cflags --libs`
hello.c: In function ‘hello_write’:
hello.c:67:1: warning: no return statement in function returning
non-void [-Wreturn-type]
}
^
$ ./hello -d -o direct_io mount
FUSE library version: 2.9.7
[...]
In a second terminal:
$ gcc -pthread -o simple_mmap simple_mmap.c
$ ./simple_mmap
char in parent (before): 1
char in child (before): 1
fuse read result: 4096
char in parent (after): 1
char in child (after): 0
I have tested that this still works on 4.19.0-rc3+.
As far as I can tell, the fix would be to immediately copy pages with
`refcount - mapcount > N` in dup_mmap(), or something like that?
