Subject: mm/khugepaged: skip shmem with userfaultfd
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 14:20:35 +0900
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 be careful when
collapsing a shmem range would result in replacing an empty page with a
THP, to avoid breaking 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
occurs. 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.
The fact that we don't fill holes during the initial iteration means that
collapse_file now has to handle faults occurring during the collapse.
This is done by re-validating the number of missing pages after acquiring
the page cache lock for the final time.
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.
