      hugetlb/userfaultfd: forbid huge pmd sharing when uffd enabled · c1991e07
      Peter Xu authored 
      Huge pmd sharing could bring problem to userfaultfd.  The thing is that
userfaultfd is running its logic based on the special bits on page table
entries, however the huge pmd sharing could potentially share page table
entries for different address ranges.  That could cause issues on
either:

 - When sharing huge pmd page tables for an uffd write protected range,
   the newly mapped huge pmd range will also be write protected
   unexpectedly, or,

 - When we try to write protect a range of huge pmd shared range, we'll
   first do huge_pmd_unshare() in hugetlb_change_protection(), however
   that also means the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT could be silently skipped for
   the shared region, which could lead to data loss.

While at it, a few other things are done altogether:

 - Move want_pmd_share() from mm/hugetlb.c into linux/hugetlb.h, because
   that's definitely something that arch code would like to use too

 - ARM64 currently directly check against
   CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE when trying to share huge pmd. Switch
   to the want_pmd_share() helper.

 - Move vma_shareable() from huge_pmd_share() into want_pmd_share().

      hugetlb: pass vma into huge_pte_alloc() and huge_pmd_share() · aec44e0f
      Peter Xu authored 
      Patch series "hugetlb: Disable huge pmd unshare for uffd-wp", v4.

This series tries to disable huge pmd unshare of hugetlbfs backed memory
for uffd-wp.  Although uffd-wp of hugetlbfs is still during rfc stage,
the idea of this series may be needed for multiple tasks (Axel's uffd
minor fault series, and Mike's soft dirty series), so I picked it out
from the larger series.

This patch (of 4):

It is a preparation work to be able to behave differently in the per
architecture huge_pte_alloc() according to different VMA attributes.

Pass it deeper into huge_pmd_share() so that we can avoid the find_vma() call.
