[PATCH v1] x86/mm/pat: fix VM_PAT handling in COW mappings

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Tue Mar 12 2024 - 14:11:39 EST


PAT handling won't do the right thing in COW mappings: the first PTE
(or, in fact, all PTEs) can be replaced during write faults to point at
anon folios. Reliably recovering the correct PFN and cachemode using
follow_phys() from PTEs will not work in COW mappings.

Using follow_phys(), we might just get the address+protection of the
anon folio (which is very wrong), or fail on swap/nonswap entries,
failing follow_phys() and triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn()
and track_pfn_copy(), not properly calling free_pfn_range().

In free_pfn_range(), we either wouldn't call memtype_free() or would
call it with the wrong range, possibly leaking memory.

To fix that, let's update follow_phys() to refuse returning anon folios,
and fallback to using the stored PFN inside vma->vm_pgoff for COW
mappings if we run into that.

We will now properly handle untrack_pfn() with COW mappings, where we
don't need the cachemode. We'll have to fail fork()->track_pfn_copy() if
the first page was replaced by an anon folio, though: we'd have to store
the cachemode in the VMA to make this work, likely growing the VMA size.

For now, lets keep it simple and let track_pfn_copy() just fail in that
case: it would have failed in the past with swap/nonswap entries already,
and it would have done the wrong thing with anon folios.

Simple reproducer to trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn():

map = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE,
ring_fd, IORING_OFF_SQ_RING);
if (map == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
return 1;
}

/* We have at least one page. Let's COW it. */
*map = 0;
pause();
return 0;

On top of mm/mm-unstable.

I spent way too much time trying to squeeze the cachemode into the VMA in
a clean way. I even went the extra mile and tried to get rid of
follow_phys() completely, storing the cachemode and the PFN in the VMA.

But I didn't quite like the end result and decided to just keep it
simple and not care about improving the already-broken fork() corner case.

follow_phys() is rather ugly, and I have some patches to improve the
situation. But let's get this fix here out first and discuss if there is
an alternative.
