From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
This series adds userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of
VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones
to tiered or remote storage.

== Changes since v9 ==
Rebased onto mm-new; resolved the copy_hugetlb_page_range() conflict
Andrew hit against the hugetlb swap-corruption fix -- hwpoison keeps no
clear, migration uses pte_swp_clear_uffd() with userfaultfd_protected().
- 11/15: gate the pte_none PAGE_IS_WRITTEN report in
pagemap_page_category() on userfaultfd_wp(vma). The standalone fix
now in mm-new reports pte_none unconditionally to match the ungated
fast path; this series gates that fast path on VM_UFFD_WP, so the
generic path must gate too. RWP has no such fast path and
unpopulated pages are not part of the RWP working set.
- 14/15: tolerate EINVAL from madvise(MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) so the test
does not abort on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n; rwp-mprotect and
rwp-fork-pin assert the marker survived before the auto-resolving
access (posted earlier as a v9 14/15 update [1]).
Based on mm-new plus the hugetlb swap-corruption fix [2] (in
mm-hotfixes), shown here as a prerequisite-patch-id. The PAGEMAP_SCAN
PMD-hole fix [3] is independent and not required.

[3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260708103429.150655-1-kirill@shutemov.name/
114/114 of tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests pass on mm-new
(47 RWP cases plus the existing UFFD groups, no regressions).
== Problem ==
A VMM managing guest memory needs to:
1. detect which pages are still being touched (working-set
tracking);
2. safely reclaim cold pages to slower tiered or remote storage;
3. fetch them back on demand when accessed again.
== Approach ==
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP is a new userfaultfd registration mode, in
parallel with the existing MODE_MISSING / MODE_WP / MODE_MINOR. It
uses the same mechanism on every backing -- anon, shmem, hugetlbfs:
- PAGE_NONE on the PTE (the same primitive NUMA balancing uses)
makes the page inaccessible while keeping it resident;
- the uffd PTE bit (the one MODE_WP already owns) marks the entry
as "userfaultfd-tracked" so the protnone fault path can tell an
RWP fault apart from an mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting
fault.
VM_UFFD_WP and VM_UFFD_RWP are mutually exclusive per VMA, so the
same PTE bit safely carries both meanings depending on the
registered VMA flag.
In sync mode, the kernel delivers a UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_RWP message
to the registered handler, and the handler resolves the fault with
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT clearing MODE_RWP. In async mode
(UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC), the fault is auto-resolved in-place: the
kernel restores the original PTE permissions and the faulting thread
continues without a userfaultfd message ever being delivered.
Userspace then learns which pages were touched during the cycle by
reading PAGE_IS_ACCESSED out of PAGEMAP_SCAN -- that set is the
working set; everything else is a reclaim candidate.
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT is the protect/unprotect ioctl, mirroring
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT.
UFFDIO_SET_MODE flips RWP_ASYNC <-> sync at runtime under
mmap_write_lock() + vma_start_write(), so a VMM can run in async
mode for detection and switch to sync for race-free reclaim without
re-registering the userfaultfd.
== Typical VMM workflow ==
/* arm */
UFFDIO_API(features = RWP | RWP_ASYNC)
UFFDIO_REGISTER(MODE_RWP)
/* detection cycle (async) */
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT(range, RWP)
sleep(interval)
/* freeze the snapshot before scanning */
UFFDIO_SET_MODE(disable = RWP_ASYNC) /* sync */
PAGEMAP_SCAN(PAGE_IS_ACCESSED) -> hot pages (working set)
/* reclaim everything not in the hot set from the backing file */
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE, non-hot) /* or pwrite to remote */
UFFDIO_SET_MODE(enable = RWP_ASYNC) /* resume */
== Series layout ==
Patches 1 to 3 are preparatory:
1: decouple protnone helpers from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.
2-3: rename _PAGE_BIT_UFFD_WP, pte_uffd_wp() and friends to drop
the _WP suffix, since the bit now carries WP and RWP meaning
depending on the VMA flag. The SCAN_PTE_UFFD enum's ftrace
output string is intentionally kept as "pte_uffd_wp" so
trace-based tooling does not silently break.
Patch 4 switches the uffd VMA-flag helpers to the vma_flags_t
accessors (vma_test_*_mask), so the VMA_UFFD_* masks are the single
place that knows which modes the build offers.
Patches 5 to 8 add the in-kernel mechanism:
5: VM_UFFD_RWP VMA flag (aliased to VM_NONE until patch 9
introduces CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP together with the UAPI).
6: MM_CP_UFFD_RWP change_protection() primitive (PAGE_NONE +
uffd bit, plus a RESOLVE counterpart).
7: marker preservation across swap, device-exclusive, migration,
fork, mremap, UFFDIO_MOVE, hugetlb copy, and mprotect().
8: handle VM_UFFD_RWP in khugepaged, rmap, and GUP.
Patches 9 to 13 wire the userspace surface:
9: UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT plumbing
(introduces CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP).
10: RWP fault delivery and exposure of UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP.
11: PAGE_IS_ACCESSED in PAGEMAP_SCAN.
12: UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC for async fault resolution.
13: UFFDIO_SET_MODE for runtime sync/async toggle.
Patches 14 and 15 are kernel tests and Documentation/. The matching
man-pages series is already upstream.
The series is also available at:

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
pte_protnone() and pmd_protnone() detect present-but-inaccessible page
table entries. This capability is useful beyond NUMA balancing -- for
example, userfaultfd working set tracking uses protnone PTEs to track
page access without unmapping pages.
Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE to decouple the protnone PTE
infrastructure from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING. The six architectures that
support protnone PTEs (x86_64, arm64, powerpc, s390, riscv, loongarch)
now select this option, and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depends on it.
No functional change -- the same set of architectures continues to have
working protnone support, but the infrastructure is now available
independently of NUMA balancing.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
The uffd-wp PTE bit is about to gain a second consumer: userfaultfd
RWP will use the same bit to mark access-tracking PTEs, distinct
from mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA-hinting PTEs. WP vs RWP semantics
come from the VMA flag; the bit is just "uffd has claimed this
entry." Drop the "_wp" suffix from the arch-private bit macros so
they reflect that.
x86: _PAGE_BIT_UFFD_WP -> _PAGE_BIT_UFFD
_PAGE_UFFD_WP -> _PAGE_UFFD
_PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP -> _PAGE_SWP_UFFD
arm64: PTE_UFFD_WP -> PTE_UFFD
PTE_SWP_UFFD_WP -> PTE_SWP_UFFD
riscv: _PAGE_UFFD_WP -> _PAGE_UFFD
_PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP -> _PAGE_SWP_UFFD
Pure mechanical rename -- no behavior change.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Userfaultfd RWP will reuse the uffd-wp PTE bit to mark access-tracking
PTEs, alongside the write-protected ones it already marks. The bit's
meaning now depends on the VMA flag (WP or RWP), not on its name.
Rename the kernel-internal names that describe the bit:
- pte/pmd/huge_pte accessors (and swap variants)
- pgtable_supports_uffd() capability query
- SCAN_PTE_UFFD khugepaged enum
The ftrace string emitted by mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd for this enum is
kept as "pte_uffd_wp" so existing trace-based tooling keeps matching.
Pure mechanical rename -- no behavior change.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
The uffd VMA-flag helpers read vma->vm_flags directly. Now that
config-gated per-mode masks exist, switch them to the vma_flags_t
accessor vma_test_any_mask(), which is the going-forward API and keeps a
single place (the VMA_UFFD_* masks) that knows which modes are available
on the current build.
No functional change: vma_flags_t is in union with vm_flags, so the same
bits are read, and the masks fold to the same code the open-coded
vm_flags tests produced -- verified identical on gcc and clang, 32- and
64-bit.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP
extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to
full read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range --
reads as well as writes -- trap through userfaultfd.
Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and
userfaultfd_protected() helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and
the trace-flag table the rest of the series will use. The flag is
gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, which is introduced together with the
UAPI in a later patch; until then VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and
every downstream check folds to dead code.
Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Preparatory patch. Add the change_protection() primitive that
userfaultfd RWP will use.
An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd PTE bit set. The
PROT_NONE half makes the CPU fault on any access; the uffd bit
distinguishes an RWP fault from a plain mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA
hinting fault. MM_CP_UFFD_WP and MM_CP_UFFD_RWP share the same PTE
bit, so the two cannot be used together on the same range.
Two new change_protection() flags:
MM_CP_UFFD_RWP install PAGE_NONE and set the uffd bit
MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE restore vma->vm_page_prot, clear the uffd bit
Both are wired through change_pte_range(), change_huge_pmd(), and
hugetlb_change_protection() so anon, shmem, THP, and hugetlb all
share the same semantics.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
The uffd PTE bit must survive any kernel path that rewrites a PTE
on a VM_UFFD_RWP VMA, otherwise the marker that carries PAGE_NONE
semantics is silently dropped and the next access leaks past RWP
tracking. Wire the preservation through every path that rewrites a
VM_UFFD_RWP PTE.
Swap and device-exclusive: do_swap_page(), restore_exclusive_pte(),
and unuse_pte() (swapoff()) re-apply PAGE_NONE when the swap PTE
carries the uffd bit and the VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP.
Migration: remove_migration_pte() and remove_migration_pmd() do the
same after the migration entry is replaced with a real PTE/PMD.
Fork: __copy_present_ptes(), copy_present_page(), copy_nonpresent_pte(),
copy_huge_pmd(), copy_huge_non_present_pmd(), and
copy_hugetlb_page_range() keep the uffd bit on the child when the
destination VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP, matching the existing VM_UFFD_WP
handling. Add VM_UFFD_RWP to VM_COPY_ON_FORK so the flag itself
propagates.
mprotect(): change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() restore PAGE_NONE
after pte_modify()/pmd_modify() have recomputed the base protection
from a (possibly user-changed) vm_page_prot. pte_modify() preserves
_PAGE_UFFD, so the bit stays; we just have to force PAGE_NONE back
on top.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Three mm paths outside the fault handler gate on the uffd PTE bit
today: khugepaged (skip collapse on ranges carrying markers), rmap
(cap unmap batching), and GUP (force a fault through
gup_can_follow_protnone). Extend each to treat VM_UFFD_RWP the same
as VM_UFFD_WP; otherwise per-PTE RWP state is silently destroyed or
bypassed.
khugepaged: try_collapse_pte_mapped_thp() and
file_backed_vma_is_retractable() already refuse to collapse or
retract page tables on ranges carrying the uffd PTE bit. Broaden the
VMA predicate from userfaultfd_wp() to userfaultfd_protected() so
VM_UFFD_RWP ranges get the same protection. hpage_collapse_scan_pmd()
needs no change — its existing pte_uffd() check already catches an
RWP PTE because it carries the uffd bit.
rmap: folio_unmap_pte_batch() caps batching at 1 for VM_UFFD_RWP so
the restore path handles each PTE with its own marker.
GUP: gup_can_follow_protnone() forces a fault on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs
regardless of FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. RWP uses protnone as an
access-tracking marker, not for NUMA hinting, so any GUP — read or
write — must go through the userfaultfd fault path.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Add the userspace interface for read-write protection tracking:
- UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP register a range for RWP tracking
- UFFD_FEATURE_RWP capability bit
- UFFDIO_RWPROTECT install / remove RWP on a range
Introduce CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, auto-selected on 64-bit kernels with
ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE and HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP. The symbol gates
VM_UFFD_RWP (previously aliased to VM_NONE) and the smaps/trace-flag
hooks added in the preparatory patches; without it the UAPI bits added
here have nothing to drive and would be unreachable.
Registration sets VM_UFFD_RWP on the VMA. Combining MODE_WP with
MODE_RWP is rejected because both modes claim the uffd PTE bit.
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT is the bidirectional counterpart of
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT:
- MODE_RWP change_protection() with MM_CP_UFFD_RWP
installs PAGE_NONE and sets the uffd bit on
present PTEs
- !MODE_RWP change_protection() with MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE
restores vma->vm_page_prot and clears the bit
userfaultfd_clear_vma() runs the same resolve pass on unregister so
RWP state cannot outlive the uffd.
Re-registering a range must not drop a mode that installs per-PTE
markers (WP or RWP); doing so returns -EBUSY. This also closes a
pre-existing window where re-registering without MODE_WP would strand
uffd-wp markers: before, those caused extra write-faults but were
otherwise benign; with RWP preservation in place, a subsequent
mprotect() on a VM_UFFD_RWP VMA would silently promote the stale
markers to RWP.
The feature is not yet advertised. UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP,
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP, and _UFFDIO_RWPROTECT are intentionally absent from
UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES, UFFD_API_FEATURES, and UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS,
so UFFDIO_API masks them out and the register-mode validator rejects
the bit. The follow-up patch adds fault dispatch and exposes the UAPI.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Wire the fault side of read-write protection tracking and turn the
userspace interface on.
An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd bit set. The
PROT_NONE triggers a fault on any access; the uffd bit distinguishes
it from plain mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting.
Fault dispatch, per level:
PTE handle_pte_fault() -> do_uffd_rwp()
PMD __handle_mm_fault() -> do_huge_pmd_uffd_rwp()
hugetlb hugetlb_fault() -> hugetlb_handle_userfault()
The RWP branches gate on userfaultfd_pte_rwp() / userfaultfd_huge_pmd_rwp()
(VM_UFFD_RWP plus the uffd bit) and fall through to do_numa_page() /
do_huge_pmd_numa_page() otherwise. Each delivers a
UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_RWP message through handle_userfault(); the handler
resolves it with UFFDIO_RWPROTECT clearing MODE_RWP.
userfaultfd_must_wait() and userfaultfd_huge_must_wait() add matching
protnone+uffd waiters so sync-mode fault handlers block correctly.
Expose the UAPI:
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP -> UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP -> UFFD_API_FEATURES
_UFFDIO_RWPROTECT -> UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS
UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS_BASIC
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP is masked out at UFFDIO_API time when PROT_NONE is
not available or VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE (32-bit), so userspace
never sees an advertised-but-broken feature.
Works on anonymous, shmem, and hugetlb memory.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
PAGEMAP_SCAN already reports PAGE_IS_WRITTEN from the inverted uffd
PTE bit, targeting the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT workflow. UFFDIO_RWPROTECT
reuses the same PTE bit as a marker for read-write protection, but
"has been written" and "has been accessed" are distinct semantic
signals — they happen to share one PTE bit today only because the two
implementations share infrastructure.
Give RWP its own pagemap category so the UAPI does not conflate them:
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN reported on VM_UFFD_WP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte)
PAGE_IS_ACCESSED reported on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte)
Both still read the same PTE bit today, but each is scoped to the VMA
whose registered mode makes the bit meaningful. If a future
implementation moves RWP to a separate PTE bit, only PAGE_IS_ACCESSED
switches over.
This is a UAPI narrowing. Outside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs the uffd bit is
always clear, so PAGEMAP_SCAN used to flag PAGE_IS_WRITTEN on every
present PTE there — a meaningless duplicate of PAGE_IS_PRESENT. Now
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fires only inside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs.
pagemap_hugetlb_category() now takes the vma like its PTE/PMD peers.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Sync RWP delivers a message and blocks the faulting thread until the
handler resolves the fault. For working-set tracking the VMM does not
need the message: it just needs to know, at scan time, which pages
were touched. Async RWP serves that use case — the kernel restores
access in-place and the faulting thread continues without blocking.
The VMM reconstructs the access pattern after the fact via
PAGEMAP_SCAN: pages whose uffd bit is still set (inverted
PAGE_IS_ACCESSED) were not re-accessed since the last RWP cycle.
Worth calling out: async resolution upgrades writable private anon
PTEs via pte_mkwrite() when can_change_pte_writable() allows, mirroring
do_numa_page(). Without it, every re-access of an RWP'd writable page
would COW-fault a second time.
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC requires UFFD_FEATURE_RWP.

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Add an ioctl to toggle async mode at runtime without re-registering
the userfaultfd. This allows a VMM to switch between sync and async
RWP modes on-the-fly -- for example, starting in async mode for
working set scanning, then switching to sync mode to intercept faults
during page eviction.
UFFDIO_SET_MODE takes an enable/disable bitmask of UFFD_FEATURE_*
flags. Only UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC is toggleable today; the ioctl
rejects any other bit with -EINVAL. Enabling RWP_ASYNC also requires
RWP to have been negotiated at UFFDIO_API time, mirroring the
UFFDIO_API invariant.
Fault-path readers of ctx->features run under mmap_read_lock or a
per-VMA lock; the RMW takes mmap_write_lock and calls
vma_start_write() on every UFFD-armed VMA, so those readers are fully
excluded. userfaultfd_show_fdinfo(), however, reads ctx->features
without any lock, so the RMW is written as a single WRITE_ONCE and
fdinfo reads it with READ_ONCE. That keeps the lockless observer from
seeing a mid-RMW intermediate and removes the audit burden when new
toggleable bits are added later.
When switching to async, pending sync waiters are woken so they retry
and auto-resolve under the new mode.

Coverage for UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT:
rwp-async async mode — touch pages, verify permissions are
auto-restored without a message
rwp-sync sync mode — access blocks, handler resolves via
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT
rwp-pagemap PAGEMAP_SCAN reports still-cold pages via
inverted PAGE_IS_ACCESSED
rwp-mprotect RWP survives mprotect(PROT_NONE) ->
mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) round-trip
rwp-gup GUP walks through a protnone RWP PTE (pipe
write/read drives the GUP path)
rwp-async-toggle UFFDIO_SET_MODE flips between sync and async
without re-registering
rwp-close closing the uffd restores page permissions
rwp-fork RWP survives fork() with EVENT_FORK; child's
PTEs keep the uffd bit
rwp-fork-pin RWP survives fork() on an RO-longterm-pinned
anon page (forces copy_present_page()); child
read auto-resolves and clears the bit, proving
PAGE_NONE was in place
rwp-wp-exclusive register with MODE_WP|MODE_RWP returns -EINVAL
All tests run against anon, shmem, shmem-private, hugetlb, and
hugetlb-private memory, except rwp-fork-pin which is anon-only —
copy_present_page() is the private-anon pinned-exclusive fork path.

Add an admin-guide section covering UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP:
- sync and async fault models;
- UFFDIO_RWPROTECT semantics;
- UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC;
- UFFDIO_SET_MODE runtime mode flips.
It also covers typical VMM working-set-tracking workflow from detection
loop through sync-mode eviction and back to async.

+Read-Write Protection
+---------------------
+
+``UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP`` enables read-write protection tracking on a
+memory range. It is similar to (but faster than) ``mprotect(PROT_NONE)``
+combined with a signal handler; unlike ``mprotect(PROT_NONE)``, RWP only
+traps accesses to *present* PTEs, so accesses to unpopulated addresses in a
+protected range fall through to the normal missing-page path. It uses the
+PROT_NONE hinting mechanism (same as NUMA balancing) to make pages
+inaccessible while keeping them resident in memory. Works on anonymous,
+shmem, and hugetlbfs memory.
+
+RWP is designed for VM memory managers that need to track the working set
+of guest memory for cold page eviction to tiered or remote storage.
+
+**Setup:**
+
+1. Open a userfaultfd and enable ``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP`` via ``UFFDIO_API``.
+ Optionally request ``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC`` as well — it requires
+ ``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP`` to be set in the same ``UFFDIO_API`` call.
+
+2. Register the guest memory range with ``UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP``
+ (and ``UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING`` if evicted pages will need to be
+ fetched back from storage).
+
+**Feature availability:**
+
+RWP is built on top of two kernel primitives: a spare PTE bit owned by
+userfaultfd (``CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP``) and architecture support
+for present-but-inaccessible PTEs (``CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE``). When both
+are available on a 64-bit kernel, the build selects
+``CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP=y`` and the ``VM_UFFD_RWP`` VMA flag becomes
+available.
+
+``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP`` and ``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC`` are unavailable when
+the running kernel or architecture does not support them — for example
+32-bit kernels (where ``VM_UFFD_RWP`` is unavailable), kernels built
+without ``CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP``, and architectures whose ptes cannot
+carry the uffd bit at runtime (e.g. riscv without the ``SVRSW60T59B``
+extension). Requesting an unsupported feature in
+``uffdio_api.features`` makes ``UFFDIO_API`` fail with ``EINVAL`` and
+leaves the userfaultfd context uninitialized; the structure is returned
+zeroed, so the error path cannot be used to discover what the kernel
+supports. The recommended probe sequence is therefore to open a
+throwaway userfaultfd, call ``UFFDIO_API`` once with ``features = 0``,
+inspect the returned bitmask, close that fd, then open the real one
+and call ``UFFDIO_API`` again with only the supported features set.
+
+**Protecting and Unprotecting:**
+
+Use ``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT`` to protect or unprotect a range, mirroring the
+``UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT`` interface::
+
+ struct uffdio_rwprotect rwp = {
+ .range = { .start = addr, .len = len },
+ .mode = UFFDIO_RWPROTECT_MODE_RWP, /* protect */
+ };
+ ioctl(uffd, UFFDIO_RWPROTECT, &rwp);
+
+Setting ``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT_MODE_RWP`` sets PROT_NONE on present PTEs in the
+range. Pages stay resident and their physical frames are preserved — only
+access permissions are removed.
+
+Clearing ``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT_MODE_RWP`` restores normal VMA permissions and
+wakes any faulting threads (unless ``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT_MODE_DONTWAKE`` is set).
+
+**Scope of protection:**
+
+RWP protection is a property of *present* PTEs. ``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT`` only
+affects entries that are already populated. Unpopulated addresses within
+the range remain unpopulated; when first accessed they fault through the
+normal missing path (``do_anonymous_page()``, ``do_swap_page()``,
+``finish_fault()``) and the resulting PTE is not RWP-protected. To observe
+the population itself, co-register the range with
+``UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING``.
+
+Protection is preserved across page reclaim: a page swapped out while
+RWP-protected carries the marker on its swap entry, and swap-in restores
+the PROT_NONE state so the first access after swap-in still faults. The
+same applies to pages temporarily replaced by migration entries.
+
+Operations that drop the PTE entirely — ``MADV_DONTNEED`` on anonymous
+memory, hole-punch on shmem, truncation of a file mapping — also drop the
+RWP marker: the next access re-populates the range without protection.
+Unlike WP (which persists via ``PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP``), there is no
+persistent RWP marker today. The user needs to re-arm the range with
+``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT`` after any operation that explicitly frees PTEs.
+
+**Fault Handling:**
+
+When a protected page is accessed:
+
+- **Sync mode** (default): The faulting thread blocks and a
+ ``UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_RWP`` message is delivered to the userfaultfd
+ handler. The handler resolves the fault with ``UFFDIO_RWPROTECT``
+ (clearing ``MODE_RWP``), which restores the PTE permissions and wakes
+ the faulting thread.
+
+- **Async mode** (``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC``): The kernel automatically
+ restores PTE permissions and the thread continues without blocking. No
+ message is delivered to the handler.
+
+**Runtime Mode Switching:**
+
+``UFFDIO_SET_MODE`` toggles ``UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC`` at runtime, allowing
+the VMM to switch between lightweight async detection and safe sync
+eviction without re-registering. The toggle takes ``mmap_write_lock()``
+and calls ``vma_start_write()`` on each UFFD-armed VMA, draining
+in-flight per-VMA-locked faults before the new mode takes effect.
+
+**Working-set detection with PAGEMAP_SCAN:**
+
+RWP-protected PTEs carry the uffd PTE bit; an access (and, in async mode, its
+auto-resolution) clears it. ``PAGEMAP_SCAN`` reports ``PAGE_IS_ACCESSED`` once
+the bit is clear on a ``VM_UFFD_RWP`` VMA, so a *non-inverted* scan reports the
+pages that were touched during the interval -- the hot set::
+
+ struct pm_scan_arg arg = {
+ .size = sizeof(arg),
+ .start = guest_mem_start,
+ .end = guest_mem_end,
+ .vec = (uint64_t)regions,
+ .vec_len = regions_len,
+ .category_mask = PAGE_IS_ACCESSED,
+ .return_mask = PAGE_IS_ACCESSED,
+ };
+ long n = ioctl(pagemap_fd, PAGEMAP_SCAN, &arg);
+
+The returned ``page_region`` array lists the hot ranges. ``PAGE_IS_ACCESSED``
+is set on an accessed page whether it is still present or has since been
+swapped out, so the hot scan needs no ``PAGE_IS_PRESENT`` filter -- unpopulated
+holes carry neither bit and are excluded on their own.
+
+Track the hot set and reclaim everything else from the backing file (see the
+workflow below). Do **not** invert the scan to enumerate "cold" pages
+directly: an inverted scan reports only the ``VM_UFFD_RWP`` PTEs that are still
+protected, i.e. the resident portion of *this* VMA. For a file mapping the
+working set spans the whole file -- pages that live in the page cache but are
+not mapped into this VMA (a pre-populated tmpfs file, or memory populated
+through another mapping) are ``pte_none`` here, never appear in the scan, and
+would never be considered for eviction even though they occupy memory. Driving
+eviction from "file offsets minus the hot set" avoids that blind spot; a cold
+PTE scan cannot. To additionally record the *first* access to a cached but
+unmapped page (e.g. pre-populated content) as hot, co-register the range with
+``UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR``: such accesses then fault as minor faults
+instead of mapping the page silently.
+
+**Cleanup:**
+
+When the userfaultfd is closed or the range is unregistered, all PROT_NONE
+PTEs are automatically restored to their normal VMA permissions. This
+prevents pages from becoming permanently inaccessible.
+
+**VMM Working Set Tracking Workflow:**
+
+A typical VMM lifecycle for cold page eviction to tiered storage. Two
+mappings of the same shmem (or hugetlbfs) file are used: ``guest_mem`` is
+the RWP-registered mapping that vCPUs access through, and ``io_mem`` is a
+private mapping for VMM-side I/O. Reading ``io_mem`` does not go through
+the RWP-protected PTEs of ``guest_mem``, so the VMM's own ``pwrite()``
+never traps on its own ::
+

+fires, the vCPU retries the access, faults as ``MISSING``, and the
+handler resolves it with ``UFFDIO_COPY`` from storage.
+
+This workflow targets shmem and hugetlbfs (both support a private
+``io_mem`` mapping over the same fd). Anonymous-memory backings need a
+different inner-loop strategy because the VMM has no way to read the
+page without going through the RWP-protected mapping.

Thanks, I'll add this to mm-new.
Sashiko failed to apply so let's find an excuse for v11!

Hmm, I wonder if it should be there at all :/
I thought userfaultfd.h is brought into selftests by make install_headers

Looks like this requirement was dropped on purpose: 580ea358af0a
("selftests/mm: fix additional build errors for selftests") added the
tools/include/uapi copy as a snapshot so the tests build without "make
headers" first. It just wasn't updated for RWP.
Corrected 14/15 below folds the RWP snapshot in (only the RWP delta;
keeps the existing __attribute__((packed))).
Please re-enable with this.

Subject: [PATCH v10 14/15] selftests/mm: add userfaultfd RWP tests
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Coverage for UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT:
rwp-async async mode — touch pages, verify permissions are
auto-restored without a message
rwp-sync sync mode — access blocks, handler resolves via
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT
rwp-pagemap PAGEMAP_SCAN reports still-cold pages via
inverted PAGE_IS_ACCESSED
rwp-mprotect RWP survives mprotect(PROT_NONE) ->
mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) round-trip
rwp-gup GUP walks through a protnone RWP PTE (pipe
write/read drives the GUP path)
rwp-async-toggle UFFDIO_SET_MODE flips between sync and async
without re-registering
rwp-close closing the uffd restores page permissions
rwp-fork RWP survives fork() with EVENT_FORK; child's
PTEs keep the uffd bit
rwp-fork-pin RWP survives fork() on an RO-longterm-pinned
anon page (forces copy_present_page()); child
read auto-resolves and clears the bit, proving
PAGE_NONE was in place
rwp-wp-exclusive register with MODE_WP|MODE_RWP returns -EINVAL
All tests run against anon, shmem, shmem-private, hugetlb, and
hugetlb-private memory, except rwp-fork-pin which is anon-only —
copy_present_page() is the private-anon pinned-exclusive fork path.
Snapshot the RWP additions into tools/include/uapi/linux/userfaultfd.h
so the selftest builds without requiring "make headers" first, matching
the mechanism established by commit 580ea358af0a ("selftests/mm: fix
additional build errors for selftests").
