4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5b51072e97d587186c2f5390c8c9c1fb7e179505 upstream. Userfaultfd did not create private memory when UFFDIO_COPY was invoked on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping. Instead it wrote to the shmem file, even when that had not been opened for writing. Though, fortunately, that could only happen where there was a hole in the file. Fix the shmem-backed implementation of UFFDIO_COPY to create private memory for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. The hugetlbfs-backed implementation was already correct. This change is visible to userland, if userfaultfd has been used in unintended ways: so it introduces a small risk of incompatibility, but is necessary in order to respect file permissions. An app that uses UFFDIO_COPY for anything like postcopy live migration won't notice the difference, and in fact it'll run faster because there will be no copy-on-write and memory waste in the tmpfs pagecache anymore. Userfaults on MAP_PRIVATE shmem keep triggering only on file holes like before. The real zeropage can also be built on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping through UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE and that's safe because the zeropage pte is never dirty, in turn even an mprotect upgrading the vma permission from PROT_READ to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE won't make the zeropage pte writable.
