This patch fixes an issue that a hugetlb uffd-wr-protected mapping can be
writable even with uffd-wp bit set. It only happens with all these
conditions met: (1) hugetlb memory (2) private mapping (3) original mapping
was missing, then (4) being wr-protected (IOW, pte marker installed). Then
write to the page to trigger.
Userfaultfd-wp trap for hugetlb was implemented in hugetlb_fault() before
even reaching hugetlb_wp() to avoid taking more locks that userfault won't
need. However there's one CoW optimization path for missing hugetlb page
that can trigger hugetlb_wp() inside hugetlb_no_page(), that can bypass the
userfaultfd-wp traps.
A few ways to resolve this:
(1) Skip the CoW optimization for hugetlb private mapping, considering
that private mappings for hugetlb should be very rare, so it may not
really be helpful to major workloads. The worst case is we only skip the
optimization if userfaultfd_wp(vma)==true, because uffd-wp needs another
fault anyway.
(2) Move the userfaultfd-wp handling for hugetlb from hugetlb_fault()
into hugetlb_wp(). The major cons is there're a bunch of locks taken
when calling hugetlb_wp(), and that will make the changeset unnecessarily
complicated due to the lock operations.
(3) Carry over uffd-wp bit in hugetlb_wp(), so it'll need to fault again
for uffd-wp privately mapped pages.
This patch chose option (3) which contains the minimum changeset (simplest
for backport) and also make sure hugetlb_wp() itself will start to be
always safe with uffd-wp ptes even if called elsewhere in the future.
This patch will be needed for v5.19+ hence copy stable.
