Subject: [LTP] [PATCH] userfaultfd05: handle kernels rejecting WP feature in UFFDIO_API
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 13:40:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123054056.131992-1-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit 485a4cd2ba3 ("userfaultfd05: allow TCONF when UFFD-WP is unsupported")
added a TCONF path for missing UFFD-WP, but it relied on checking
uffdio_api.features after a failed ioctl (on RHEL-10).
That is not sufficient: it did not handle the case where UFFDIO_API
succeeds but the kernel does not advertise UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP
in the returned features mask.
So userfaultfd05 still fails on RHEL-9 s390x platform:
userfaultfd05.c:106: TBROK: ioctl(3,((((2U|1U) << (((0+8)+8)+14)) |
(((0xAA)) << (0+8)) | ((((0x00))) << 0) |
((((sizeof(struct uffdio_register)))) << ((0+8)+8)))),...)
failed: EINVAL (22)
Now, let's handle both behaviours by retrying UFFDIO_API with features=0
on EINVAL and treating a successful retry as "WP unsupported" (TCONF).
Also check the returned features mask after a successful UFFDIO_API and
skip when WP is not advertised.
And preserve the original errno so real UFFDIO_API failures are still
reported as 'TBROK | TERRNO'.
Follow-up: 485a4cd2ba3 ("userfaultfd05: allow TCONF when UFFD-WP is unsupported")
