The -s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement -software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will -have to look at the page state itself. - -Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely -theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. - -To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, -we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that -is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that -the FOLL_COW flag is still valid. - -Reported-and-tested-by: Phil "not Paul" Oester <kernel@linuxace.com> -Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> -Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> -Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> -Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> -Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> -Cc: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> -Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> -Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> -Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org -Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> -Diffstat --rw-r--r-- include/linux/mm.h 1 --rw-r--r-- mm/gup.c 14 -2 files changed, 13 insertions, 2 deletions -diff --git a/include/linux/mm.h b/include/linux/mm.h -index e9caec6..ed85879 100644 ---- a/include/linux/mm.h -+++ b/include/linux/mm.h -@@ -2232,6 +2232,7 @@ static inline struct page *follow_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, - #define FOLL_TRIED 0x800 /* a retry, previous pass started an IO */ - #define FOLL_MLOCK 0x1000 /* lock present pages */ - #define FOLL_REMOTE 0x2000 /* we are working on non-current tsk/mm */ -+#define FOLL_COW 0x4000 /* internal GUP flag */ - - typedef int (*pte_fn_t)(pte_t *pte, pgtable_t token, unsigned long addr, - void *data); -diff --git a/mm/gup.c b/mm/gup.c -index 96b2b2f..22cc22e 100644 ---- a/mm/gup.c -+++ b/mm/gup.c -@@ -60,6 +60,16 @@ static int follow_pfn_pte(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, - return -EEXIST; - } - -+/* -+ * FOLL_FORCE can write to even unwritable pte's, but only -+ * after we've gone through a COW cycle and they are dirty. -+ */ -+static inline bool can_follow_write_pte(pte_t pte, unsigned int flags) -+{ -+ return pte_write(pte) || -+ ((flags & FOLL_FORCE) && (flags & FOLL_COW) && pte_dirty(pte)); -+} -+ - static struct page *follow_page_pte(struct vm_area_struct *vma, - unsigned long address, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned int flags) - { -@@ -95,7 +105,7 @@ retry: - } - if ((flags & FOLL_NUMA) && pte_protnone(pte)) - goto no_page; -- if ((flags & FOLL_WRITE) && !pte_write(pte)) { -+ if ((flags & FOLL_WRITE) && !can_follow_write_pte(pte, flags)) { - pte_unmap_unlock(ptep, ptl); - return NULL; - } -@@ -412,7 +422,7 @@ static int faultin_page(struct task_struct *tsk, struct vm_area_struct *vma, - * reCOWed by userspace write). - */ - if ((ret & VM_FAULT_WRITE) && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) -- *flags &= ~FOLL_WRITE; -+ *flags |= FOLL_COW; - return 0; - } |
