Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/uffd: Sanity check write bit for uffd-wp protected ptes
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2022 10:17:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221110151702.1478763-3-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221110151702.1478763-1-peterx@redhat.com>

Let's add one sanity check for CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on the write bit in whatever
chance we have when walking through the pgtables.  It can bring the error
earlier even before the app notices the data was corrupted on the snapshot.
Also it helps us to identify this is a wrong pgtable setup, so hopefully a
great information to have for debugging too.

Wrapping with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is not that useful considering we have that
in many distros already, but still do that just in case some custom build
doesn't want anything like it.
