[PATCH v1] mm/gup: disallow FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE on hugetlb mappings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hugetlb does not support fake write-faults (write faults without write
permissions). However, we are currently able to trigger a FAULT_FLAG_WRITE
fault on a VMA without VM_WRITE.

If we'd ever want to support FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE, we'd have to teach
hugetlb to:

(1) Leave the page mapped R/O after the fake write-fault, like
    maybe_mkwrite() does.
(2) Allow writing to an exclusive anon page that's mapped R/O when
    FOLL_FORCE is set, like can_follow_write_pte(). E.g.,
    __follow_hugetlb_must_fault() needs adjustment.

For now, it's not clear if that added complexity is really required.
History tolds us that FOLL_FORCE is dangerous and that we better
limit its use to a bare minimum.

  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
          char *map;
          int mem_fd;

          map = mmap(NULL, 2 * 1024 * 1024u, PROT_READ,
                     MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON|MAP_HUGETLB|MAP_HUGE_2MB, -1, 0);
          if (map == MAP_FAILED) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %d\n", errno);
                  return 1;
          }

          mem_fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR);
          if (mem_fd < 0) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "open(/proc/self/mem) failed: %d\n", errno);
                  return 1;
          }

          if (pwrite(mem_fd, "0", 1, (uintptr_t) map) == 1) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "write() succeeded, which is unexpected\n");
                  return 1;
          }

          printf("write() failed as expected: %d\n", errno);
          return 0;
  }
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fortunately, we have a sanity check in hugetlb_wp() in place ever since
commit 1d8d14641fd9 ("mm/hugetlb: support write-faults in shared
mappings"), that bails out instead of silently mapping a page writable in
a !PROT_WRITE VMA.

Consequently, above reproducer triggers a warning, similar to the one
reported by szsbot:

So let's silence that warning by teaching GUP code that FOLL_FORCE -- so far
-- does not apply to hugetlb.

Note that FOLL_FORCE for read-access seems to be working as expected.
The assumption is that this has been broken forever, only ever since
above commit, we actually detect the wrong handling and WARN_ON_ONCE().

I assume this has been broken at least since 2014, when mm/gup.c came to
life. I failed to come up with a suitable Fixes tag quickly.
