From 1294d355881cc5c3421d24fee512f16974addb6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 13:07:36 -0700 Subject: mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages() commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream. This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug"). In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
