mm/gup: sanity-check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM that anonymous pages are exclusive when (un)pinning
Let's verify when (un)pinning anonymous pages that we always deal with
exclusive anonymous pages, which guarantees that we'll have a reliable
PIN, meaning that we cannot end up with the GUP pin being inconsistent
with he pages mapped into the page tables due to a COW triggered by a
write fault.
When pinning pages, after conditionally triggering GUP unsharing of
possibly shared anonymous pages, we should always only see exclusive
anonymous pages. Note that anonymous pages that are mapped writable must
be marked exclusive, otherwise we'd have a BUG.
When pinning during ordinary GUP, simply add a check after our conditional
GUP-triggered unsharing checks. As we know exactly how the page is
mapped, we know exactly in which page we have to check for
PageAnonExclusive().
When pinning via GUP-fast we have to be careful, because we can race with
fork(): verify only after we made sure via the seqcount that we didn't
race with concurrent fork() that we didn't end up pinning a possibly
shared anonymous page.
Similarly, when unpinning, verify that the pages are still marked as
exclusive: otherwise something turned the pages possibly shared, which can
result in random memory corruptions, which we really want to catch.
With only the pinned pages at hand and not the actual page table entries
we have to be a bit careful: hugetlb pages are always mapped via a single
logical page table entry referencing the head page and PG_anon_exclusive
of the head page applies. Anon THP are a bit more complicated, because we
might have obtained the page reference either via a PMD or a PTE --
depending on the mapping type we either have to check PageAnonExclusive of
the head page (PMD-mapped THP) or the tail page (PTE-mapped THP) applies:
as we don't know and to make our life easier, check that either is set.
Take care to not verify in case we're unpinning during GUP-fast because we
detected concurrent fork(): we might stumble over an anonymous page that
is now shared.
