Subject: [PATCH 1/3] userfaultfd: correctly prevent registering VM_DROPPABLE regions
Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2025 18:14:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250603-uffd-fixes-v1-1-9c638c73f047@columbia.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250603-uffd-fixes-v1-0-9c638c73f047@columbia.edu>

vma_can_userfault() masks off non-userfaultfd VM flags from vm_flags.
The vm_flags & VM_DROPPABLE test will then always be false, incorrectly
allowing VM_DROPPABLE regions to be registered with userfaultfd.

Additionally, vm_flags is not guaranteed to correspond to the actual
VMA's flags. Fix this test by checking the VMA's flags directly.

Fixes: 9651fcedf7b9 ("mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings")
