mm/gup: reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings
We already support reliable R/O pinning of anonymous memory. However,
assume we end up pinning (R/O long-term) a pagecache page or the shared
zeropage inside a writable private ("COW") mapping. The next write access
will trigger a write-fault and replace the pinned page by an exclusive
anonymous page in the process page tables to break COW: the pinned page no
longer corresponds to the page mapped into the process' page table.
Now that FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE can break COW on anything mapped into a
COW mapping, let's properly break COW first before R/O long-term
pinning something that's not an exclusive anon page inside a COW
mapping. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will break COW and map an exclusive anon page
instead that can get pinned safely.
With this change, we can stop using FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for reliable
R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings.
With this change, the new R/O long-term pinning tests for non-anonymous
memory succeed:
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with shared zeropage

# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd

ok 161 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
ok 162 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
Note 1: We don't care about short-term R/O-pinning, because they have
snapshot semantics: they are not supposed to observe modifications that
happen after pinning.
As one example, assume we start direct I/O to read from a page and store
page content into a file: modifications to page content after starting
direct I/O are not guaranteed to end up in the file. So even if we'd pin
the shared zeropage, the end result would be as expected -- getting zeroes
stored to the file.
Note 2: For shared mappings we'll now always fallback to the slow path to
lookup the VMA when R/O long-term pining. While that's the necessary price
we have to pay right now, it's actually not that bad in practice: most
FOLL_LONGTERM users already specify FOLL_WRITE, for example, along with
FOLL_FORCE because they tried dealing with COW mappings correctly ...
Note 3: For users that use FOLL_LONGTERM right now without FOLL_WRITE,
such as VFIO, we'd now no longer pin the shared zeropage. Instead, we'd
populate exclusive anon pages that we can pin. There was a concern that
this could affect the memlock limit of existing setups.
For example, a VM running with VFIO could run into the memlock limit and
fail to run. However, we essentially had the same behavior already in
commit 17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either
way" issue") which got merged into some enterprise distros, and there were
not any such complaints. So most probably, we're fine.
