[PATCH v7 08/24] mm: Protect VMA modifications using VMA sequence count

From: Laurent Dufour <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-06 17:07:30
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), memory management, memory management - memory policy and migration, memory management - swap, memory management - thp (transparent huge page), memory management - userfaultfd, memory mapping, memory mapping - madvise (memory advice), proc filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Chris Li, Kairui Song, Lorenzo Stoakes, Mike Rapoport, Liam R. Howlett, Linus Torvalds

The VMA sequence count has been introduced to allow fast detection of
VMA modification when running a page fault handler without holding
the mmap_sem.

This patch provides protection against the VMA modification done in :
	- madvise()
	- mpol_rebind_policy()
	- vma_replace_policy()
	- change_prot_numa()
	- mlock(), munlock()
	- mprotect()
	- mmap_region()
	- collapse_huge_page()
	- userfaultd registering services

In addition, VMA fields which will be read during the speculative fault
path needs to be written using WRITE_ONCE to prevent write to be split
and intermediate values to be pushed to other CPUs.
