[2/3] kvm/mm: introduce MMF_USERFAULTFD_ALLOW flag

Commit Message

Peter Xu March 11, 2019, 9:37 a.m. UTC

Introduce a new MMF_USERFAULTFD_ALLOW flag and tag it upon the process
memory address space as long as the process opened the /dev/kvm once.
It'll be dropped automatically when fork() by MMF_INIT_TASK to reset
the userfaultfd permission.

Detecting the flag gives us a chance to open the green light for kvm
upon using userfaultfd when we want to make sure all the existing kvm
users will still be able to run their userspace programs without being
affected by the new unprivileged userfaultfd switch.
