Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/migrate: Fix read-only page got writable when recover pte

Ives van Hoorne from codesandbox.io reported an issue regarding possible
data loss of uffd-wp when applied to memfds on heavily loaded systems.  The
sympton is some read page got data mismatch from the snapshot child VMs.

Here I can also reproduce with a Rust reproducer that was provided by Ives
that keeps taking snapshot of a 256MB VM, on a 32G system when I initiate
80 instances I can trigger the issues in ten minutes.

It turns out that we got some pages write-through even if uffd-wp is
applied to the pte.

The problem is, when removing migration entries, we didn't really worry
about write bit as long as we know it's not a write migration entry.  That
may not be true, for some memory types (e.g. writable shmem) mk_pte can
return a pte with write bit set, then to recover the migration entry to its
original state we need to explicit wr-protect the pte or it'll has the
write bit set if it's a read migration entry.

For uffd it can cause write-through.  I didn't verify, but I think it'll be
the same for mprotect()ed pages and after migration we can miss the sigbus
instead.

The relevant code on uffd was introduced in the anon support, which is
commit f45ec5ff16a7 ("userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration",
2020-04-07).  However anon shouldn't suffer from this problem because anon
should already have the write bit cleared always, so that may not be a
proper Fixes target.  To satisfy the need on the backport, I'm attaching
the Fixes tag to the uffd-wp shmem support.  Since no one had issue with
mprotect, so I assume that's also the kernel version we should start to
backport for stable, and we shouldn't need to worry before that.
