Subject: [PATCH v4 04/14] mm: add VM_UFFD_RWP VMA flag
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 12:37:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525113737.1942478-5-kas@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525113737.1942478-1-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.
