Subject: [PATCH] mm: thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled
After the THP refcounting change, obtaining a compound pages from
get_user_pages() no longer allows us to assume the entire compound
page is immediately mappable from a secondary MMU.
A secondary MMU doesn't want to call get_user_pages() more than once
for each compound page, in order to know if it can map the whole
compound page. So a secondary MMU needs to know from a single
get_user_pages() invocation when it can map immediately the entire
compound page to avoid a flood of unnecessary secondary MMU faults and
spurious atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() (pages don't have to be pinned by
MMU notifier users).
Ideally instead of the page->_mapcount < 1 check, get_user_pages()
should return the granularity of the "page" mapping in the "mm" passed
to get_user_pages(). However it's non trivial change to pass the "pmd"
status belonging to the "mm" walked by get_user_pages up the stack (up
to the caller of get_user_pages). So the fix just checks if there is
not a single pte mapping on the page returned by get_user_pages, and
in turn if the caller can assume that the whole compound page is
mapped in the current "mm" (in a pmd_trans_huge()). In such case the
entire compound page is safe to map into the secondary MMU without
additional get_user_pages() calls on the surrounding tail/head
pages. In addition of being faster, not having to run other
get_user_pages() calls also reduces the memory footprint of the
secondary MMU fault in case the pmd split happened as result of memory
pressure.
Without this fix after a MADV_DONTNEED (like invoked by QEMU during
postcopy live migration or balloning) or after generic swapping (with
a failure in split_huge_page() that would only result in pmd splitting
and not a physical page split), KVM would map the whole compound page
into the shadow pagetables, despite regular faults or userfaults (like
UFFDIO_COPY) may map regular pages into the primary MMU as result of
the pte faults, leading to the guest mode and userland mode going out
of sync and not working on the same memory at all times.
