Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly
Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and
mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ /
MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT.
While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not
the desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should
behave like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever.
A reproducer can be found at [1].
The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by
faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper
way: it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making
madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again,
never setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages().
__get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic
in faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong.
So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect
VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault
handler return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point,
propagating -EFAULT from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way
to madvise_populate().
But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking the
MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In the
meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with different
error codes than we'd want to.
As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way,
let it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new
FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from
madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there.
With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as
documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.
