When we tested pmdk unit test [1] vmmalloc_fork TEST1 in arm64 guest, there will be a double page fault in __copy_from_user_inatomic of cow_user_page.
Below call trace is from arm64 do_page_fault for debugging purpose [ 110.016195] Call trace: [ 110.016826] do_page_fault+0x5a4/0x690 [ 110.017812] do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0 [ 110.018726] el1_da+0x20/0xc4 [ 110.019492] __arch_copy_from_user+0x180/0x280 [ 110.020646] do_wp_page+0xb0/0x860 [ 110.021517] __handle_mm_fault+0x994/0x1338 [ 110.022606] handle_mm_fault+0xe8/0x180 [ 110.023584] do_page_fault+0x240/0x690 [ 110.024535] do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0 [ 110.025423] el0_da+0x20/0x24 The pte info before __copy_from_user_inatomic is (PTE_AF is cleared): [ffff9b007000] pgd=000000023d4f8003, pud=000000023da9b003, pmd=000000023d4b3003, pte=360000298607bd3 As told by Catalin: "On arm64 without hardware Access Flag, copying from user will fail because the pte is old and cannot be marked young. So we always end up with zeroed page after fork() + CoW for pfn mappings. we don't always have a hardware-managed access flag on arm64." This patch fix it by calling pte_mkyoung. Also, the parameter is changed because vmf should be passed to cow_user_page() Add a WARN_ON_ONCE when __copy_from_user_inatomic() returns error in case there can be some obscure use-case.(by Kirill) [1] https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/tree/master/src/test/vmmalloc_fork Reported-by: Yibo Cai <yibo....@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Jia He <justin...@arm.com> --- mm/memory.c | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/memory.c b/mm/memory.c index e2bb51b6242e..ae09b070b04d 100644 --- a/mm/memory.c +++ b/mm/memory.c @@ -118,6 +118,13 @@ int randomize_va_space __read_mostly = 2; #endif +#ifndef arch_faults_on_old_pte +static inline bool arch_faults_on_old_pte(void) +{ + return false; +} +#endif + static int __init disable_randmaps(char *s) { randomize_va_space = 0; @@ -2140,8 +2147,13 @@ static inline int pte_unmap_same(struct mm_struct *mm, pmd_t *pmd, return same; } -static inline void cow_user_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src, unsigned long va, struct vm_area_struct *vma) +static inline bool cow_user_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src, + struct vm_fault *vmf) { + struct vm_area_struct *vma = vmf->vma; + struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm; + unsigned long addr = vmf->address; + debug_dma_assert_idle(src); /* @@ -2151,21 +2163,53 @@ static inline void cow_user_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src, unsigned lo * fails, we just zero-fill it.
