The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/gup: disallow FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE on hugetlb mappings has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-gup-disallow-foll_forcefoll_write-on-hugetlb-mappings.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: David Hildenbrand david@redhat.com Subject: mm/gup: disallow FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE on hugetlb mappings Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 16:25:24 +0100
hugetlb does not support fake write-faults (write faults without write permissions). However, we are currently able to trigger a FAULT_FLAG_WRITE fault on a VMA without VM_WRITE.
If we'd ever want to support FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE, we'd have to teach hugetlb to:
(1) Leave the page mapped R/O after the fake write-fault, like maybe_mkwrite() does. (2) Allow writing to an exclusive anon page that's mapped R/O when FOLL_FORCE is set, like can_follow_write_pte(). E.g., __follow_hugetlb_must_fault() needs adjustment.
For now, it's not clear if that added complexity is really required. History tolds us that FOLL_FORCE is dangerous and that we better limit its use to a bare minimum.

int main(int argc, char **argv) { char *map; int mem_fd;
map = mmap(NULL, 2 * 1024 * 1024u, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON|MAP_HUGETLB|MAP_HUGE_2MB, -1, 0); if (map == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %d\n", errno); return 1; }
mem_fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR); if (mem_fd < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "open(/proc/self/mem) failed: %d\n", errno); return 1; }
if (pwrite(mem_fd, "0", 1, (uintptr_t) map) == 1) { fprintf(stderr, "write() succeeded, which is unexpected\n"); return 1; }
printf("write() failed as expected: %d\n", errno); return 0; } --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortunately, we have a sanity check in hugetlb_wp() in place ever since commit 1d8d14641fd9 ("mm/hugetlb: support write-faults in shared mappings"), that bails out instead of silently mapping a page writable in a !PROT_WRITE VMA.
Consequently, above reproducer triggers a warning, similar to the one reported by szsbot:

So let's silence that warning by teaching GUP code that FOLL_FORCE -- so far -- does not apply to hugetlb.
Note that FOLL_FORCE for read-access seems to be working as expected. The assumption is that this has been broken forever, only ever since above commit, we actually detect the wrong handling and WARN_ON_ONCE().
I assume this has been broken at least since 2014, when mm/gup.c came to life. I failed to come up with a suitable Fixes tag quickly.
