Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] userfaultfd: clear the inherited uffd bit in move_swap_pte()
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 21:41:44 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926124145.2878520-2-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260926124145.2878520-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com>
UFFDIO_MOVE on a swapped-out page installs the source PTE at the
destination unchanged, so a uffd bit set on a write-protected or
RWP-protected source lands in a destination VMA that was never
registered for either. Nothing clears it there, and userspace sees:
- /proc/<pid>/pagemap reports the page as uffd-tracked (bit 57), both
while it is swapped out and after it is faulted back in.
- MADV_COLLAPSE fails with EINVAL on a range containing it, because the
collapse scan bails on a swap entry with the uffd bit set.
- With CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK, faulting the page in warns.
do_swap_page() carries the bit into the present PTE and, since the
destination isn't WP-registered, also makes it writable:
WARNING: mm/page_table_check.c:202 at __page_table_check_ptes_set+0x185/0x1e0
Call Trace:
set_ptes+0x67/0xc0
do_swap_page+0x990/0xfe0
__handle_mm_fault+0x7d0/0xeb0
handle_mm_fault+0x9c/0x250
do_user_addr_fault+0x207/0x650
exc_page_fault+0x65/0x150
asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30
Reaching it takes UFFDIO_MOVE out of a WP- or RWP-protected area into
one that isn't, on a page that is swapped out at the time. It hasn't
been seen in practice.
A resident page doesn't carry the bit, because move_present_ptes() builds
the destination PTE from dst_vma->vm_page_prot. Clear it on the moved
swap entry as well, then re-arm it if the destination is RWP-registered.
The WP case has been there since v6.8, where UFFDIO_MOVE was added.
