Re: [PATCH v2] userfaultfd/shmem: fix MCOPY_ATOMIC_CONTNUE behavior

On Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 01:06:59PM -0700, Axel Rasmussen wrote:

Previously, we shared too much of the code with COPY and ZEROPAGE, so we manipulated things in various invalid ways:

• Previously, we unconditionally called shmem_inode_acct_block. In the continue case, we're looking up an existing page which would have been accounted for properly when it was allocated. So doing it twice results in double-counting, and eventually leaking.

• Previously, we made the pte writable whenever the VMA was writable. However, for continue, consider this case:

  1. A tmpfs file was created
  2. The non-UFFD-registered side mmap()-s with MAP_SHARED
  3. The UFFD-registered side mmap()-s with MAP_PRIVATE

  In this case, even though the UFFD-registered VMA may be writable, we still want CoW behavior. So, check for this case and don't make the pte writable.

• The offset / max_off checking doesn't necessarily hurt anything, but it's not needed in the CONTINUE case, so skip it.

• Previously, we unconditionally called ClearPageDirty() in the error path. In the continue case though, since this is an existing page, it might have already been dirty before we started touching it. So, remember whether or not it was dirty before we set_page_dirty(), and only clear the bit if it wasn't dirty before.

• Previously, we unconditionally removed the page from the page cache in the error path. But in the continue case, we didn't add it - it was already there because the page is present in some second (non-UFFD-registered) mapping. So, removing it is invalid.

Because the error handling issues are easy to exercise in the selftest, make a small modification there to do so.

Finally, refactor shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte a bit. By this point, we've added a lot of "if (!is_continue)"-s everywhere. It's cleaner to just check for that mode first thing, and then "goto" down to where the parts we actually want are. This leaves the code in between cleaner.

Changes since v1:

• Refactor to skip ahead with goto, instead of adding several more "if (!is_continue)".
• Fix unconditional ClearPageDirty().
• Don't pte_mkwrite() when is_continue && !VM_SHARED.

I think you're right, but I won't touch this code explicitly since the new code slightly affects readability, while skipping it won't save a lot of cpu cycles. No strong opinion though.

It could be using a random was_dirty from stack, does not seem right.

Maybe simply drop this ClearPageDirty()? I'm not sure whether the page free code will complain, but if not I think an extra dirty bit is better than losing one, as the latter corrupts data while the former happens anyways, not to mention this is an error path. Maybe acceptable?
