Subject[PATCH v1 06/11] mm: support GUP-triggered unsharing via FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE (!hugetlb)
Date
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE is a new type of page fault applicable to COW-able
anonymous memory (including hugetlb but excluding KSM) and its purpose is
to allow for unsharing of shared anonymous pages on selected GUP *read*
access, in comparison to the traditional COW on *write* access.

In contrast to a COW, GUP-triggered unsharing will still maintain the write
protection. It will be triggered by GUP to properly prevent a child process
from finding ways via GUP to observe memory modifications of anonymous
memory of the parent process after fork().

Rename the relevant functions to make it clear whether we're dealing
with unsharing, cow, or both.

The hugetlb part will be added separately.

This commit is based on prototype patches by Andrea.

+ *
+ * If a parent process forks a child process, we share anonymous pages between
+ * both processes with COW semantics. Both processes will map these now shared
+ * anonymous pages read-only, and any write access triggers unsharing via COW.
+ *
+ * If the child takes a read-only pin on such a page (i.e., FOLL_WRITE is not

+ *
+ * * page has mapcount == 1 and refcount > 1
+ * * page is mapped read-only into the parent
+ * * page is pinned by the child and can still be read
+ *
+ * For now, we rely on refcount > 1 to perform the COW and trigger unsharing.
+ * However, that leads to other hard-to fix issues.
+ *
+ * GUP-triggered unsharing provides a parallel approach to trigger unsharing
+ * early, still allowing for relying on mapcount > 1 in COW code instead of on
+ * imprecise refcount > 1. Note that when we don't actually take a reference
+ * on the target page but instead use memory notifiers to synchronize to changes
+ * in the process page tables, unsharing is not required.
+ *
+ * Note that in the above scenario, it's impossible to distinguish during the
+ * write fault between:
+ *
+ * a) The parent process performed the pin and the child no longer has access
+ * to the page.
+ *
+ * b) The child process performed the pin and the child still has access to the
+ * page.
+ *
+ * In case of a), if we're dealing with a long-term read-only pin, the COW
+ * in the parent will result the pinned page differing from the page actually
+ * mapped into the process page tables in the parent: loss of synchronicity.
