Subject: [PATCH v5] mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY cleared
For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read
faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after
VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain
clear after subsequent writes.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */
With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write
notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is reset.
As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set
by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap
by c9d0bf241451a3ab7d02e1652c22b80cd7d93e8f.

v1 -> v2: Instead of checking VM_SOFTDIRTY in the fault handler,
enable write notifications on vm_page_prot when we clear
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
v2 -> v3: * Grab the mmap_sem in write mode if any VMAs have
VM_SOFTDIRTY set. This involved refactoring clear_refs_write
to make it less unwieldy.
* In mprotect, don't inadvertently disable write notifications on VMAs
that have had VM_SOFTDIRTY cleared
* The mprotect fix and mmap cleanup that comprised the
second and third patches in v2 were swallowed by the main
patch because of vm_page_prot corner case handling.
v3 -> v4: Handle !defined(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY): old patch would have
enabled write notifications for all VMAs in this case.
v4 -> v5: IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY) instead of #ifdef ...
