Subject: [PATCH v1] mm/userfaultfd: enable writenotify while userfaultfd-wp is enabled for a VMA

Currently, we don't enable writenotify when enabling userfaultfd-wp on
a shared writable mapping (for now only shmem and hugetlb). The consequence
is that vma->vm_page_prot will still include write permissions, to be set
as default for all PTEs that get remapped (e.g., mprotect(), NUMA hinting,
page migration, ...).

So far, vma->vm_page_prot is assumed to be a safe default, meaning that
we only add permissions (e.g., mkwrite) but not remove permissions (e.g.,
wrprotect). For example, when enabling softdirty tracking, we enable
writenotify. With uffd-wp on shared mappings, that changed. More details
on vma->vm_page_prot semantics were summarized in [1].

This is problematic for uffd-wp: we'd have to manually check for
a uffd-wp PTEs/PMDs and manually write-protect PTEs/PMDs, which is error
prone. Prone to such issues is any code that uses vma->vm_page_prot to set
PTE permissions: primarily pte_modify() and mk_pte().

Instead, let's enable writenotify such that PTEs/PMDs/... will be mapped
write-protected as default and we will only allow selected PTEs that are
definitely safe to be mapped without write-protection (see
can_change_pte_writable()) to be writable. In the future, we might want
to enable write-bit recovery -- e.g., can_change_pte_writable() -- at
more locations, for example, also when removing uffd-wp protection.

This fixes two known cases:

(a) remove_migration_pte() mapping uffd-wp'ed PTEs writable, resulting
    in uffd-wp not triggering on write access.
(b) do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() mapping uffd-wp'ed PTEs/PMDs
    writable, resulting in uffd-wp not triggering on write access.

Note that do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() can be reached even
without NUMA hinting (which currently doesn't seem to be applicable to
shmem), for example, by using uffd-wp with a PROT_WRITE shmem VMA.
On such a VMA, userfaultfd-wp is currently non-functional.

Note that when enabling userfaultfd-wp, there is no need to walk page
tables to enforce the new default protection for the PTEs: we know that
they cannot be uffd-wp'ed yet, because that can only happen after
enabling uffd-wp for the VMA in general.

Also note that this makes mprotect() on ranges with uffd-wp'ed PTEs not
accidentally set the write bit -- which would result in uffd-wp not
triggering on later write access. This commit makes uffd-wp on shmem behave
just like uffd-wp on anonymous memory (iow, less special) in that regard,
even though, mixing mprotect with uffd-wp is controversial.

As discussed in [2], this is supposed to replace the fix by Peter:
  [PATCH v3 1/2] mm/migrate: Fix read-only page got writable when recover
  pte

This survives vm/selftests and my reproducers:
* migrating pages that are uffd-wp'ed using mbind() on a machine with 2
  NUMA nodes
* Using a PROT_WRITE mapping with uffd-wp
* Using a PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE mapping with uffd-wp'ed pages and
  mprotect()'ing it PROT_WRITE
* Using a PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE mapping with uffd-wp'ed pages and
  temporarily mprotect()'ing it PROT_READ

uffd-wp properly triggers in all cases. On v8.1-rc8, all mre reproducers
fail.

It would be good to get some more testing feedback and review.
