Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/1] mm/rmap: fix soft-dirty and uffd-wp bit loss when remapping zero-filled mTHP subpage to shared zeropage
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:51:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017085106.16330-1-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025101627-shortage-author-7f5b@gregkh>
From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
When splitting an mTHP and replacing a zero-filled subpage with the shared
zeropage, try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() currently drops several
important PTE bits.
For userspace tools like CRIU, which rely on the soft-dirty mechanism for
incremental snapshots, losing the soft-dirty bit means modified pages are
missed, leading to inconsistent memory state after restore.
As pointed out by David, the more critical uffd-wp bit is also dropped.
This breaks the userfaultfd write-protection mechanism, causing writes to
be silently missed by monitoring applications, which can lead to data
corruption.
Preserve both the soft-dirty and uffd-wp bits from the old PTE when
creating the new zeropage mapping to ensure they are correctly tracked.
