From dcf7fe9d89763a28e0f43975b422ff141fe79e43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 14:09:43 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: shmem: UFFDIO_COPY: set the page dirty if VM_WRITE is not set Set the page dirty if VM_WRITE is not set because in such case the pte won't be marked dirty and the page would be reclaimed without writepage (i.e. swapout in the shmem case). This was found by source review. Most apps (certainly including QEMU) only use UFFDIO_COPY on PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE mappings or the app can't modify the memory in the first place. This is for correctness and it could help the non cooperative use case to avoid unexpected data loss.
