Sure. I will start looking into this and come up with a RFC version.

If you're looking for a new project, adding a foll_t or gup_t or
something for the FOLL flags (like we have for gfp_t or vm_fault_t)
would be helpful.  We're inconsistent with our naming here.

since FOLL_LONGTERM is a stricter case of FOLL_PIN, we should prohibit
users from calling get_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM while not with
FOLL_PIN.

mm/gup_benchmark.c used to be the only user who did this improperly.
But it has been fixed by moving to use pin_user_pages().


For future patches, you don't have to write everything in the
commit log. Some things are better placed in a cover letter or after
the "---" line, because they don't need to be recorded forever.

Anyway, the diffs seem fine, assuming that you've audited the call sites.


We can use is_valid_gup_flags() inside ->
get_user_pages_locked(),
get_user_pages_unlocked(),
pin_user_pages_locked() as well.


Probably it's best to discern between valid pup flags, and valid gup flags.
As in: separate functions for those. Maybe one is a subset of the other, but
still.



Are you planning to add it in future patches ?



It's not on my list. I don't see anything wrong with doing so, other
than avoiding the minor pitfall I called out above. So if you want to
do that, then feel free...

We can use is_valid_gup_flags() inside ->
get_user_pages_locked(),
get_user_pages_unlocked(),

[PATCH] mm/gup: don't permit users to call get_user_pages with FOLL_LONGTERM

2020-08-19 Thread Barry Song
gug prohibits users from calling get_user_pages() with FOLL_PIN. But it
allows users to call get_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM only. It seems
insensible.

since FOLL_LONGTERM is a stricter case of FOLL_PIN, we should prohibit
users from calling get_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM while not with
FOLL_PIN.

mm/gup_benchmark.c used to be the only user who did this improperly.
But it has been fixed by moving to use pin_user_pages().
