From 95567729173e62e0e60a1f8ad9eb2e1320a8ccac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Xu peterx@redhat.com Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2025 17:57:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: fix uninitialized output field for -EAGAIN race

While discussing some userfaultfd relevant issues recently, Andrea noticed a potential ABI breakage with -EAGAIN on almost all userfaultfd ioctl()s.

Quote from Andrea, explaining how -EAGAIN was processed, and how this should fix it (taking example of UFFDIO_COPY ioctl):

The "mmap_changing" and "stale pmd" conditions are already reported as -EAGAIN written in the copy field, this does not change it. This change removes the subnormal case that left copy.copy uninitialized and required apps to explicitly set the copy field to get deterministic behavior (which is a requirement contrary to the documentation in both the manpage and source code). In turn there's no alteration to backwards compatibility as result of this change because userland will find the copy field consistently set to -EAGAIN, and not anymore sometime -EAGAIN and sometime uninitialized.

Even then the change only can make a difference to non cooperative users of userfaultfd, so when UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_* is enabled, which is not true for the vast majority of apps using userfaultfd or this unintended uninitialized field may have been noticed sooner.

Meanwhile, since this bug existed for years, it also almost affects all ioctl()s that was introduced later. Besides UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE, these also get affected in the same way:

- UFFDIO_CONTINUE - UFFDIO_POISON - UFFDIO_MOVE

This patch should have fixed all of them.
