Subject: [PATCH] mm/khugepaged: Check again on anon uffd-wp during isolation
Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2023 11:51:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230405155120.3608140-1-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
Khugepaged collapse an anonymous thp in two rounds of scans. The 2nd round
done in __collapse_huge_page_isolate() after hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(),
during which all the locks will be released temporarily. It means the
pgtable can change during this phase before 2nd round starts.
It's logically possible some ptes got wr-protected during this phase, and
we can errornously collapse a thp without noticing some ptes are
wr-protected by userfault. e1e267c7928f wanted to avoid it but it only did
that for the 1st phase, not the 2nd phase.
Since __collapse_huge_page_isolate() happens after a round of small page
swapins, we don't need to worry on any !present ptes - if it existed
khugepaged will already bail out. So we only need to check present ptes
with uffd-wp bit set there.
This is something I found only but never had a reproducer, I thought it was
one caused a bug in Muhammad's recent pagemap new ioctl work, but it turns
out it's not the cause of that but an userspace bug. However this seems to
still be a real bug even with a very small race window, still worth to have
it fixed and copy stable.
