This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4 for a detailed description of the feature.
The series is based on Linus master (partial 6.5 merge window), and structured like this:
- Patches 1-3 are preparation / refactoring - Patches 4-6 implement and advertise the new feature - Patches 7-8 implement a unit test for the new feature
Changelog:
v3 -> v4: - [Peter] Rename PTE_MARKER_ERROR and helpers to PTE_MARKER_POISONED. - [Peter] Switch from calloc to memset for initializing some state in the selftest.
v2 -> v3: - Rebase onto current Linus master. - Don't overwrite existing PTE markers for non-hugetlb UFFDIO_POISON. Before, non-hugetlb would override them, but hugetlb would not. I don't think there's a use case where we *want* to override a UFFD_WP marker for example, so take the more conservative behavior for all kinds of memory. - [Peter] Drop hugetlb mfill atomic refactoring, since it isn't needed for this series (we don't touch that code directly anyway). - [Peter] Switch to re-using PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR instead of defining new PTE_MARKER_UFFD_POISON. - [Peter] Extract start / len range overflow check into existing validate_range helper; this fixes the style issue of unnecessary braces in the UFFDIO_POISON implementation, because this code is just deleted. - [Peter] Extract file size check out into a new helper. - [Peter] Defer actually "enabling" the new feature until the last commit in the series; combine this with adding the documentation. As a consequence, move the selftest commits after this one. - [Randy] Fix typo in documentation.
v1 -> v2: - [Peter] Return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON not VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, to yield the correct behavior for KVM (guest MCE). - [Peter] Rename UFFDIO_SIGBUS to UFFDIO_POISON. - [Peter] Implement hugetlbfs support for UFFDIO_POISON.
