[PATCH] mm/khugepaged: Don't collapse uffd-minor-registered VMAs

[James Houghton]

Userfaultfd minor faults provides userspace with the ability to manually
install PTEs with UFFDIO_CONTINUE. Right now, khugepaged collapse can
map holes in the VMA when a naturally-aligned THP is present without
explicit action from userspace.

This is a problem, as it bypasses userfaultfd minor faults that
userspace is expecting to handle.

If userspace implements post-copy live migration using userfaultfd minor
faults, this situation is currently possible:
1. The VMA for guest memory is userfaultfd-minor-registered and nothing
   is mapped in the page tables.
2. A stale copy of a page is present in a naturally-aligned THP (from
   pre-copy live migration).
3. khugepaged collapses the mapping of the THP, installs a PMD.
4. The VM now has access to the stale contents => VM is broken.
5. After installing the correct contents, userspace attempts to map the
   page with UFFDIO_CONTINUE; it gets EEXIST, indicating that something
   unexpectedly mapped the page.

The naturally-aligned THP case is the only case where this is a problem.
khugepaged otherwise requires all PTEs to be present for
userfaultfd-registered VMAs (i.e., max none PTEs is 0), which is
correct. This check is essentially bypassed for naturally-aligned THPs.

To deal with this issue, completely disallow collapsing in
userfaultfd-minor-registered VMAs. This is slightly pessimistic; it
would be nice to allow MADV_COLLAPSE to work if all PTEs are in fact
present, but that seems more complex than it is worth.

This was caught with manual review while diagnosing a related issue
that came up with in Google's live migration testing.

I've uploaded a mostly-AI-generated reproducer here[1]. As long as
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is not set to 'deny',
the repro should work.

One basic question first. Should MADV_COLLAPSE refuse to collapse a
UFFD-minor-registered VMA, regardless of whether all PTEs are present?

I'd leave that to the maintainers :D

Anyway, assuming the answer is yes, I wonder whether the new check is
sufficient. See below.

Assume UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR completes after collapse_single_pmd()
drops the mmap read lock and before it reacquires it.

Doesn't this still leave a registration race, no?

{
	return userfaultfd_wp(vma) || userfaultfd_rwp(vma);

Emm ... userfaultfd_protected() only covers WP and RWP. MADV_COLLAPSE
passes install_pmd=true, so the SCAN_NO_PTE_TABLE case can still reach
set_huge_pmd() after UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR has completed ...

I think the line is not between MADV_COLLAPSE vs khugepaged, it is if
vma->vm_mm is current->mm or not.

In other words, we might want to allow collapse if workload itself asks
for it, but not for khugepaged or *external* process_madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE).
is_khugepaged is not the right proxy.

Right, IIUC, we have two options so far:

A) Conservatively reject collapse for any UFFD-minor-registered VMA, as
   this patch does.

B) Allow collapse when the workload itself asks for it, but reject
   khugepaged and external process_madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE).

Maybe there is a third option as well. Would be good to hear more thoughts
on the expected semantics, especially from the maintainers, before
deciding what the check should look like.

@James, thanks for spinning v2 so quickly :) Please don't send another
revision until we settle the expected semantics here. Hope you don't mind
giving us a little time to sort this out :D

Cheers, Lance

One more correction to option B above. Background khugepaged already
passes install_pmd=false and cannot trigger the problem, so the
distinction is only between the workload's own madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE)
and external process_madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) :)

Actually:

A) Reject MADV_COLLAPSE for any UFFD-minor-registered VMA.

B) Allow MADV_COLLAPSE when the workload itself asks for it, but reject
   external process_madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE).

I also think the answer is yes.

Theoretically you could optimize this and allow userspace to avoid
calling a bunch of UFFDIO_CONTINUEs and instead call MADV_COLLAPSE,
but let's wait for someone (probably won't be me, at least not for a
couple years) to ask for it. But khugepaged's own collapse routines
(and potentially other processes via process_madvise()) should remain
unchanged; that would reintroduce the bug being fixed here.

Thanks, Lance. This is how I should have written the patch to begin

I'll send a v2 soon. Thank you!

Ouch ... I missed this earlier. The problem is real, but this commit
message describes the wrong trigger.

Background khugepaged calls try_collapse_pte_mapped_thp() with
install_pmd=false, so it cannot install the PMD or trigger this
sequence. MADV_COLLAPSE passes install_pmd=true and installs the PMD.

So the problem described here can only be triggered by MADV_COLLAPSE,
whether it comes through madvise() or process_madvise(), no?

Cheers, Lance
