mm/gup: prevent gup_fast from racing with COW during fork
Since commit 70e806e4 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected during COW for fork. This means that pages returned from pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin is active. However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write protecting it: CPU 0 CPU 1 get_user_pages_fast() internal_get_user_pages_fast() copy_page_range() pte_alloc_map_lock() copy_present_page() atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0 page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false atomic_set(has_pinned, 1); gup_pgd_range() gup_pte_range() pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep) pte_access_permitted(pte) try_grab_compound_head() pte = pte_wrprotect(pte) set_pte_at(); pte_unmap_unlock() // GUP now returns with a write protected page The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda ("mm: avoid early COW write protect games during fork()") Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check the read side around gup_pgd_range(). If there is a collision then get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP. Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src mm_struct.
