It seems hugetlb_follow_page_mask() was missing permission checks.  For
example, one follow_page() can get the hugetlb page with FOLL_WRITE even if
the page is read-only.

I'm curious if there even is a follow_page() user that operates on hugetlb ...

s390x secure storage does not apply to hugetlb IIRC.

ksm.c? no.

huge_memory.c ? no

So what remains is most probably mm/migrate.c, which never sets FOLL_WRITE.


Or am I missing something a user?

handling in follow_page_mask").

Let's add them, namely, either the need to CoW due to missing write bit, or
proper CoR on !AnonExclusive pages over R/O pins to reject the follow page.
That brings this function closer to follow_hugetlb_page().

I just doubt how many of us care for that, for FOLL_PIN follow_page doesn't
really happen at all.  But we'll care, and care more if we switch over
slow-gup to use hugetlb_follow_page_mask().  We'll also care when to return
-EMLINK then, as that's the gup internal api to mean "we should do CoR".

When at it, switching the try_grab_page() to use WARN_ON_ONCE(), to be
clear that it just should never fail.
