[PATCH v3 1/2] mm/migrate: Fix read-only page got writable when recover pte

[Peter Xu]

Ives van Hoorne from codesandbox.io reported an issue regarding possible
data loss of uffd-wp when applied to memfds on heavily loaded systems.  The
symptom is some read page got data mismatch from the snapshot child VMs.

Here I can also reproduce with a Rust reproducer that was provided by Ives
that keeps taking snapshot of a 256MB VM, on a 32G system when I initiate
80 instances I can trigger the issues in ten minutes.

It turns out that we got some pages write-through even if uffd-wp is
applied to the pte.

The problem is, when removing migration entries, we didn't really worry
about write bit as long as we know it's not a write migration entry.  That
may not be true, for some memory types (e.g. writable shmem) mk_pte can
return a pte with write bit set, then to recover the migration entry to its
original state we need to explicit wr-protect the pte or it'll has the
write bit set if it's a read migration entry.  For uffd it can cause
write-through.

The relevant code on uffd was introduced in the anon support, which is
commit f45ec5ff16a7 ("userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration",
2020-04-07).  However anon shouldn't suffer from this problem because anon
should already have the write bit cleared always, so that may not be a
proper Fixes target, while I'm adding the Fixes to be uffd shmem support.
