If without the above newly added wr-protect, yes. This is the case where we found we got write bit set even if uffd-wp bit is also set, hence allows the write to go through even if marked protected. > > > > pte = pte_mkuffd_wp(pte); > > > + } > > > > > > if (folio_test_anon(folio) && !is_readable_migration_entry(entry)) > > > rmap_flags |= RMAP_EXCLUSIVE; > > > > As raised, I don't agree to this generic non-uffd-wp change without > > further, clear justification. > > Pater, can you please work this further? I didn't reply here because I have already replied with the question in previous version with a few attempts. Quotting myself: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y3KgYeMTdTM0FN5W@x1n/ The thing is recovering the pte into its original form is the safest approach to me, so I think we need justification on why it's always safe to set the write bit. I've also got another longer email trying to explain why I think it's the other way round to be justfied, rather than justifying removal of the write bit for a read migration entry, here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y3O5bCXSbvKJrjRL@x1n/ > > > I won't nack it, but I won't ack it either. > > I wouldn't mind seeing a little code comment which explains why we're > doing this. I've got one more fixup to the same patch attached, with enriched comments on why we need wr-protect for read migration entries. Please have a look to see whether that helps, thanks.

If it's broken fix it independently and properly backport it independenty. But we don't know about any such broken case. I have no energy to spare to argue further ;)

Under obscure conditions, fortunately. But please let's keep working it. Let's aim for something minimal for backporting purposes. We can revisit any cleanliness issues later. David, do you feel that the proposed fix will at least address the bug without adverse side-effects?

Usually, when I suspect something is dodgy I unconsciously push back harder than I usually would. I just looked into the issue once again and realized that this patch here (and also my alternative proposal) most likely tackles the more-generic issue from the wrong direction. I found yet another such bug (most probably two, just too lazy to write another reproducer). Migration code does the right thing here -- IMHO -- and the issue should be fixed differently. I'm testing an alternative patch right now and will share it later today, along with a reproducer.

Please consider using unconsciousness only for self guidance, figuring out directions, or making decisions on one's own. For discussions on the list which can get more than one person involved, we do need consciousness and reasonings. Thanks for the reproducer, that's definitely good reasonings. Do you have other reproducer that can trigger an issue without mprotect()? As I probably mentioned before in other threads mprotect() is IMHO conceptually against uffd-wp and I don't yet figured out how to use them all right. For example, we can uffd-wr-protect a pte in uffd-wp range, then if we do "mprotect(RW)" it's hard to tell whether the user wants it write or not. E.g., using mprotect(RW) to resolve page faults should be wrong because it'll not touch the uffd-wp bit at all. I confess I never thought more on how we should define the interactions between uffd-wp and mprotect. In short, it'll be great if you have other reproducers for any uffd-wp issues other than mprotect(). I said that also because I just got another message from Ives privately that there _seems_ to have yet another even harder to reproduce bug here (Ives, feel free to fill in any more information if you got it). So if you can figure out what's missing and already write a reproducer, that'll be perfect.

Yeah, sorry about my communication. I expressed that this approach felt wrong to me, I just wasn't able to phrase exactly why I thought migration is doing the right thing and didn't have a lot of time to look into the details. Now I dedicated some time and realized that mproctect() is doing the exact same thing, it became clearer to me why migration code wasn't broken before. > > For discussions on the list which can get more than one person involved, we > do need consciousness and reasonings.

As noted in the RFC patch I sent, I suspect NUMA hinting page remapping might similarly trigger it.

Just to answer that question clearly: it will fix this bug, but it's likely that other similar bugs remain (suspecting NUMA hinting). Adverse side effect will be that some PTEs that could we writable won't be writable. I assume it's not too bad in practice for this particular case. I proposed an alternative fix and identified other possible broken cases. Again, I don't NAK this patch as is, it just logically doesn't make sense to me to handle this case differently to the other vma->vm_page_prot users. (more details in the other thread)

Ives van Hoorne from codesandbox.io reported an issue regarding possible data loss of uffd-wp when applied to memfds on heavily loaded systems. The symptom is some read page got data mismatch from the snapshot child VMs. Here I can also reproduce with a Rust reproducer that was provided by Ives that keeps taking snapshot of a 256MB VM, on a 32G system when I initiate 80 instances I can trigger the issues in ten minutes. It turns out that we got some pages write-through even if uffd-wp is applied to the pte. The problem is, when removing migration entries, we didn't really worry about write bit as long as we know it's not a write migration entry. That may not be true, for some memory types (e.g. writable shmem) mk_pte can return a pte with write bit set, then to recover the migration entry to its original state we need to explicit wr-protect the pte or it'll has the write bit set if it's a read migration entry. For uffd it can cause write-through. The relevant code on uffd was introduced in the anon support, which is commit f45ec5ff16a7 ("userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration", 2020-04-07). However anon shouldn't suffer from this problem because anon should already have the write bit cleared always, so that may not be a proper Fixes target, while I'm adding the Fixes to be uffd shmem support.
