Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mm/userfaultfd: recheck WP registration in the hugetlb UFFDIO_COPY retry
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 23:11:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029221129.89068-1-azpijr@gmail.com> (raw)

The urgent fixes made hugetlb_fault() tolerate uffd bits left in VMAs
that are no longer registered for them, and asked for follow-ups that
remove the sources [1]. This is one: a hugetlb UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP copy
that has to fault in its source page doesn't recheck the WP registration
before retrying, so re-registering the range without WP in that window
leaves a uffd-wp PTE behind.

Patch 1 adds the check the non-hugetlb retry already gets from
mfill_get_vma(). Patch 2 adds a uffd-unit-tests case for it, which fails
on hugetlb without patch 1.

Question:

- The non-hugetlb retry compares the whole mfill_retry_state. hugetlb
  copies into a freshly allocated folio, so only WP seemed to matter
  there. Mike, would you rather have the full comparison on both paths?

The other source 6/10 of [1] mentions, UFFDIO_COPY in MODE_WP racing
with UFFDIO_UNREGISTER [2], is closed by "mm/userfaultfd: write-lock the
VMA before waking waiters when unregistering" [3].

Based on mm-unstable.

Tested on x86_64 in QEMU.
