Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] vfio: selftests: Test BAR write faults after clear_refs
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2026 06:20:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101062049.998160-3-almasrymina@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101062049.998160-1-almasrymina@google.com>

Add a regression test in vfio_pci_device_test to verify that huge_fault
on writable MAP_SHARED VFIO PCI BAR mappings handles write faults after
soft-dirty tracking clears VM_SOFTDIRTY and downgrades vma->vm_page_prot
to read-only via /proc/self/clear_refs ("4").

Specifically, for each mappable read/write BAR (already aligned up to
SZ_1G by vfio_pci_bar_map() with MADV_HUGEPAGE), verify both:

1. Read-then-write fault sequence after clear_refs, exercising in-place
   huge PMD/PUD write-protection upgrade via wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud().
2. Direct initial write fault on a freshly mapped unpopulated BAR VMA
   after clear_refs, exercising vmf_insert_pfn_pmd()/vmf_insert_pfn_pud()
   with FAULT_FLAG_WRITE set.

Skip gracefully when /proc/self/clear_refs is absent or soft-dirty
tracking (CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY) is disabled, or when the device exposes
no mappable read/write BARs.
