Subject: [PATCH 6/6] userfaultfd: build __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS from config-gated masks
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 18:23:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529172331.356655-7-kas@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529172331.356655-1-kas@kernel.org>
The VMA flags bitmap is a single word today: NUM_VMA_FLAG_BITS is
BITS_PER_LONG, so on 32-bit vma_flags_t holds only 32 bits. (The bitmap
type exists so this can grow past BITS_PER_LONG later; until it does,
anything declared above the first word is out of range on 32-bit.) The bit
enum nevertheless declares some bits unconditionally above BITS_PER_LONG --
VMA_UFFD_MINOR_BIT is 41, with VM_UFFD_MINOR == VM_NONE on 32-bit so no VMA
actually carries the bit.
__VMA_UFFD_FLAGS feeds VMA_UFFD_MINOR_BIT to mk_vma_flags() unconditionally.
On 32-bit that becomes __set_bit(41, &one_long), a write one word past the
end of the single-word bitmap. The compiler folds the out-of-bounds store
with wraparound (1UL << (41 % 32) == bit 9) into the first word; bit 9 is
already in __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS so the mask happens to come out right today, but
it is an out-of-bounds write all the same, and any high-numbered bit whose
mod-BITS_PER_LONG position is otherwise unused would silently OR an extra
bit into the mask.
Rather than feed bit numbers that may not exist on the current build to
mk_vma_flags(), build the mask from whole per-mode masks that collapse to
EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS when their feature is unavailable. Add
mk_vma_flags_from_masks() for that, and define VMA_UFFD_MISSING / _WP /
_MINOR alongside the VM_UFFD_* flags, gating VMA_UFFD_MINOR on the same
config as VM_UFFD_MINOR (which implies 64BIT, where bit 41 fits). An
out-of-range bit is then never materialised, on any arch, and the in-range
fast path stays a compile-time constant.
