Subject: [PATCH v11 10/26] mm: protect VMA modifications using VMA sequence count
Date:   Thu, 17 May 2018 13:06:17 +0200
In-Reply-To: <1526555193-7242-1-git-send-email-ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
References: <1526555193-7242-1-git-send-email-ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Message-Id: <1526555193-7242-11-git-send-email-ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The VMA sequence count has been introduced to allow fast detection of
VMA modification when running a page fault handler without holding
the mmap_sem.

This patch provides protection against the VMA modification done in :
	- madvise()
	- mpol_rebind_policy()
	- vma_replace_policy()
	- change_prot_numa()
	- mlock(), munlock()
	- mprotect()
	- mmap_region()
	- collapse_huge_page()
	- userfaultd registering services

In addition, VMA fields which will be read during the speculative fault
path needs to be written using WRITE_ONCE to prevent write to be split
and intermediate values to be pushed to other CPUs.
