All other instances of gup_huge_pXd() perform the unshare check, so update the PGD-specific function to do so as well. While checking pgd_write() might seem unusual, this function already performs such a check via pgd_access_permitted() so this is in line with the existing implementation. David said: : This change makes unshare handling across all GUP-fast variants : consistent, which is desirable as GUP-fast is complicated enough : already even when consistent. : : This function was the only one I seemed to have missed (or left out and : forgot why -- maybe because it's really dead code for now). The COW : selftest would identify the problem, so far there was no report. : Either the selftest wasn't run on corresponding architectures with that : hugetlb size, or that code is still dead code and unused by : architectures. : : the original commit(s) that added unsharing explain why we care about : these checks: : :a7f2266041("mm/gup: trigger FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE when R/O-pinning a possibly shared anonymous page") :84209e87c6("mm/gup: reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cb971ac8dd315df97058ea69442ecc007b9a364a.1683381545.git.lstoakes@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
