mm/mprotect: fix soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable()
Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix soft-dirty checks", v4. This patch (of 3): The check wanted to make sure when soft-dirty tracking is enabled we won't grant write bit by accident, as a page fault is needed for dirty tracking. The intention is correct but we didn't check it right because VM_SOFTDIRTY set actually means soft-dirty tracking disabled. Fix it. There's another thing tricky about soft-dirty is that, we can't check the vma flag !(vma_flags & VM_SOFTDIRTY) directly but only check it after we checked CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY because otherwise VM_SOFTDIRTY will be defined as zero, and !(vma_flags & VM_SOFTDIRTY) will constantly return true. To avoid misuse, introduce a helper for checking whether vma has soft-dirty tracking enabled. We can easily verify this with any exclusive anonymous page, like program below: =======8<====== #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdbool.h> #define BIT_ULL(nr) (1ULL << (nr)) #define PM_SOFT_DIRTY BIT_ULL(55) unsigned int psize; char *page; uint64_t pagemap_read_vaddr(int fd, void *vaddr) { uint64_t value; int ret; ret = pread(fd, &value, sizeof(uint64_t), ((uint64_t)vaddr >> 12) * sizeof(uint64_t)); assert(ret == sizeof(uint64_t)); return value; } void clear_refs_write(void) { int fd = open("/proc/self/clear_refs", O_RDWR); assert(fd >= 0); write(fd, "4", 2); close(fd); } #define check_soft_dirty(str, expect) do { \ bool dirty = pagemap_read_vaddr(fd, page) & PM_SOFT_DIRTY; \ if (dirty != expect) { \ printf("ERROR: %s, soft-dirty=%d (expect: %d) ", str, dirty, expect); \ exit(-1); \ } \ } while (0) int main(void) { int fd = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY); assert(fd >= 0); psize = getpagesize(); page = mmap(NULL, psize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); assert(page != MAP_FAILED); *page = 1; check_soft_dirty("Just faulted in page", 1); clear_refs_write(); check_soft_dirty("Clear_refs written", 0); mprotect(page, psize, PROT_READ); check_soft_dirty("Marked RO", 0); mprotect(page, psize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE); check_soft_dirty("Marked RW", 0); *page = 2; check_soft_dirty("Wrote page again", 1); munmap(page, psize); close(fd); printf("Test passed. "); return 0; } =======8<====== Here we attach a Fixes to commit 64fe24a3e05e only for easy tracking, as this patch won't apply to a tree before that point. However the commit wasn't the source of problem, but instead 64e455079e1b. It's just that after 64fe24a3e05e anonymous memory will also suffer from this problem with mprotect().
