From 6cce3314b928b2db7d5f48171e18314226551c3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2022 12:11:37 +0200 Subject: mm/ksm: fix KSM COW breaking with userfaultfd-wp via FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE Let's stop breaking COW via a fake write fault and let's use FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE instead. This avoids any wrong side effects of the fake write fault, such as mapping the PTE writable and marking the pte dirty/softdirty. Consequently, we will no longer trigger a fake write fault and break COW without any such side-effects. Also, this fixes KSM interaction with userfaultfd-wp: when we have a KSM page that's write-protected by userfaultfd, break_ksm()->handle_mm_fault() will fail with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and will simply return in break_ksm() with 0 instead of actually breaking COW. For now, the KSM unmerge tests can trigger that: $ sudo ./ksm_functional_tests TAP version 13 1..3 # [RUN] test_unmerge ok 1 Pages were unmerged # [RUN] test_unmerge_discarded ok 2 Pages were unmerged # [RUN] test_unmerge_uffd_wp not ok 3 Pages were unmerged Bail out! 1 out of 3 tests failed # Planned tests != run tests (2 != 3) # Totals: pass:2 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 The warning in dmesg also indicates this wrong handling: [ 230.096368] FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY missing 881 [ 230.100822] CPU: 1 PID: 1643 Comm: ksm-uffd-wp [...] [ 230.110124] Hardware name: [...] [ 230.117775] Call Trace: [ 230.120227] [ 230.122334] dump_stack_lvl+0x44/0x5c [ 230.126010] handle_userfault.cold+0x14/0x19 [ 230.130281] ? tlb_finish_mmu+0x65/0x170 [ 230.134207] ? uffd_wp_range+0x65/0xa0 [ 230.137959] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x15/0x30 [ 230.141972] ? do_wp_page+0x50/0x590 [ 230.145551] __handle_mm_fault+0x9f5/0xf50 [ 230.149652] ? mmput+0x1f/0x40 [ 230.152712] handle_mm_fault+0xb9/0x2a0 [ 230.156550] break_ksm+0x141/0x180 [ 230.159964] unmerge_ksm_pages+0x60/0x90 [ 230.163890] ksm_madvise+0x3c/0xb0 [ 230.167295] do_madvise.part.0+0x10c/0xeb0 [ 230.171396] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x80 [ 230.175157] __x64_sys_madvise+0x5a/0x70 [ 230.179082] do_syscall_64+0x58/0x80 [ 230.182661] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x80 [ 230.186413] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd This is primarily a fix for KSM+userfaultfd-wp, however, the fake write fault was always questionable. As this fix is not easy to backport and it's not very critical, let's not cc stable.
