[PATCH 2/2] mm/khugepaged: skip shmem with userfaultfd

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

 



From: David Stevens <stevensd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Make sure that collapse_file respects any userfaultfds registered with
MODE_MISSING. If userspace has any such userfaultfds registered, then
for any page which it knows to be missing, it may expect a
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT. This means collapse_file needs to take care when
collapsing a shmem range would result in replacing an empty page with a
THP, so that it doesn't break userfaultfd.

Synchronization when checking for userfaultfds in collapse_file is
tricky because the mmap locks can't be used to prevent races with the
registration of new userfaultfds. Instead, we provide synchronization by
ensuring that userspace cannot observe the fact that pages are missing
before we check for userfaultfds. Although this allows registration of a
userfaultfd to race with collapse_file, it ensures that userspace cannot
observe any pages transition from missing to present after such a race.
This makes such a race indistinguishable to the collapse occurring
immediately before the userfaultfd registration.

The first step to provide this synchronization is to stop filling gaps
during the loop iterating over the target range, since the page cache
lock can be dropped during that loop. The second step is to fill the
gaps with XA_RETRY_ENTRY after the page cache lock is acquired the final
time, to avoid races with accesses to the page cache that only take the
RCU read lock.

This fix is targeted at khugepaged, but the change also applies to
MADV_COLLAPSE. MADV_COLLAPSE on a range with a userfaultfd will now
return EBUSY if there are any missing pages (instead of succeeding on
shmem and returning EINVAL on anonymous memory). There is also now a
window during MADV_COLLAPSE where a fault on a missing page will cause
the syscall to fail with EAGAIN.

The fact that intermediate page cache state can no longer be observed
before the rollback of a failed collapse is also technically a
userspace-visible change (via at least SEEK_DATA and SEEK_END), but it
is exceedingly unlikely that anything relies on being able to observe
that transient state.
