Subject: [PATCH v4 01/14] mm: Allow user to control COW PTE via prctl
Date:   Tue,  7 Feb 2023 11:51:26 +0800
Message-Id: <20230207035139.272707-2-shiyn.lin@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230207035139.272707-1-shiyn.lin@gmail.com>

Add a new prctl, PR_SET_COW_PTE, to allow the user to enable COW PTE.
Since it has a time gap between using the prctl to enable the COW PTE
and doing the fork, we use two states (MMF_COW_PTE_READY and MMF_COW_PTE)
to determine the task that wants to do COW PTE or already doing it.

The MMF_COW_PTE_READY flag marks the task to do COW PTE in the next time
of fork(). During fork(), if MMF_COW_PTE_READY set, fork() will unset the
flag and set the MMF_COW_PTE flag. After that, fork() might shares PTEs
instead of duplicates it.
