Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] mm/gup/writeback: add callbacks for inaccessible pages
With the introduction of protected KVM guests on s390 there is now a
concept of inaccessible pages. These pages need to be made accessible
before the host can access them.
While cpu accesses will trigger a fault that can be resolved, I/O
accesses will just fail. We need to add a callback into architecture
code for places that will do I/O, namely when writeback is started or
when a page reference is taken.
This is not only to enable paging, file backing etc, it is also
necessary to protect the host against a malicious user space. For
example a bad QEMU could simply start direct I/O on such protected
memory. We do not want userspace to be able to trigger I/O errors and
thus the logic is "whenever somebody accesses that page (gup) or does
I/O, make sure that this page can be accessed". When the guest tries
to access that page we will wait in the page fault handler for
writeback to have finished and for the page_ref to be the expected
value.
On s390x the function is not supposed to fail, so it is ok to use a
WARN_ON on failure. If we ever need some more finegrained handling
we can tackle this when we know the details.
