Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-shmem-handle-uffd-wp-during-fork.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Fri, 13 May 2022 12:20:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220513192058.BF800C34113@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/shmem: handle uffd-wp during fork()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-shmem-handle-uffd-wp-during-fork.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch\nof git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------
From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
Subject: mm/shmem: handle uffd-wp during fork()

Normally we skip copy page when fork() for VM_SHARED shmem, but we can't
skip it anymore if uffd-wp is enabled on dst vma.  This should only happen
when the src uffd has UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK enabled on uffd-wp shmem
vma, so that VM_UFFD_WP will be propagated onto dst vma too, then we
should copy the pgtables with uffd-wp bit and pte markers, because these
information will be lost otherwise.

Since the condition checks will become even more complicated for deciding
"whether a vma needs to copy the pgtable during fork()", introduce a
helper vma_needs_copy() for it, so everything will be clearer.
