[PATCH v4 16/17] mm/gup: trigger FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE when R/O-pinning a possibly shared anonymous page

David Hildenbrand
2022-04-28T08:39:36Z

Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that
might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault
on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page
due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the
page actually mapped into the page table.

The possible ways to deal with this situation are:
(1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now.
(2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and
could break user space.
(3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O
pins.

Let's implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and
allows for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs:
when trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly
something went very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that
might be hard to debug. So we better have a nice way to spot such
issues.

This change implies that whenever user space *wrote* to a private
mapping (IOW, we have an anonymous page mapped), that GUP pins will
always remain consistent: reliable R/O GUP pins of anonymous pages.

As a side note, this commit fixes the COW security issue for hugetlb with
FOLL_PIN as documented in:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com
The vmsplice reproducer still applies, because vmsplice uses FOLL_GET
instead of FOLL_PIN.

Note that follow_huge_pmd() doesn't apply because we cannot end up in
there with FOLL_PIN.

This commit is heavily based on prototype patches by Andrea.
