[PATCH v4 05/15] userfaultfd: retry copying with locks dropped in mfill_atomic_pte_copy()
Posted by Mike Rapoport 1 day, 21 hours ago
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Implementation of UFFDIO_COPY for anonymous memory might fail to copy data
from userspace buffer when the destination VMA is locked (either with
mm_lock or with per-VMA lock).

In that case, mfill_atomic() releases the locks, retries copying the data
with locks dropped and then re-locks the destination VMA and
re-establishes PMD.

Since this retry-reget dance is only relevant for UFFDIO_COPY and it never
happens for other UFFDIO_ operations, make it a part of
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() that actually implements UFFDIO_COPY for anonymous
memory.

As a temporal safety measure to avoid breaking biscection
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() makes sure to never return -ENOENT so that the
loop in mfill_atomic() won't retry copiyng outside of mmap_lock.  This is
removed later when shmem implementation will be updated later and the loop
in mfill_atomic() will be adjusted.
