From 1db9dbc2ef05205bf1022f9b14aa29b1dd8efd7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Xu Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 20:22:52 -0700 Subject: mm/uffd: PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP This patch introduces the 1st user of pte marker: the uffd-wp marker. When the pte marker is installed with the uffd-wp bit set, it means this pte was wr-protected by uffd. We will use this special pte to arm the ptes that got either unmapped or swapped out for a file-backed region that was previously wr-protected. This special pte could trigger a page fault just like swap entries. This idea is greatly inspired by Hugh and Andrea in the discussion, which is referenced in the links below. Some helpers are introduced to detect whether a swap pte is uffd wr-protected. After the pte marker introduced, one swap pte can be wr-protected in two forms: either it is a normal swap pte and it has _PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP set, or it's a pte marker that has PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP set.
