Subject: [PATCH 5.18 016/231] mm: userfaultfd: fix UFFDIO_CONTINUE on fallocated shmem pages

From: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@...gle.com>

commit 73f37dbcfe1763ee2294c7717a1f571e27d17fd8 upstream.

When fallocate() is used on a shmem file, the pages we allocate can end up
with !PageUptodate.

Since UFFDIO_CONTINUE tries to find the existing page the user wants to
map with SGP_READ, we would fail to find such a page, since
shmem_getpage_gfp returns with a "NULL" pagep for SGP_READ if it discovers
!PageUptodate.  As a result, UFFDIO_CONTINUE returns -EFAULT, as it would
do if the page wasn't found in the page cache at all.

This isn't the intended behavior.  UFFDIO_CONTINUE is just trying to find
if a page exists, and doesn't care whether it still needs to be cleared or
not.  So, instead of SGP_READ, pass in SGP_NOALLOC.  This is the same,
except for one critical difference: in the !PageUptodate case, SGP_NOALLOC
will clear the page and then return it.  With this change, UFFDIO_CONTINUE
works properly (succeeds) on a shmem file which has been fallocated, but
otherwise not modified.
