David Hildenbrand f347454d03 mm/gup: disallow FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE on hugetlb mappings
hugetlb does not support fake write-faults (write faults without write
permissions).  However, we are currently able to trigger a
FAULT_FLAG_WRITE fault on a VMA without VM_WRITE.

If we'd ever want to support FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE, we'd have to teach
hugetlb to:

(1) Leave the page mapped R/O after the fake write-fault, like
    maybe_mkwrite() does.
(2) Allow writing to an exclusive anon page that's mapped R/O when
    FOLL_FORCE is set, like can_follow_write_pte(). E.g.,
    __follow_hugetlb_must_fault() needs adjustment.

For now, it's not clear if that added complexity is really required. 
History tolds us that FOLL_FORCE is dangerous and that we better limit its
use to a bare minimum.

          char *map;
          int mem_fd;

          map = mmap(NULL, 2 * 1024 * 1024u, PROT_READ,
                     MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON|MAP_HUGETLB|MAP_HUGE_2MB, -1, 0);
          if (map == MAP_FAILED) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %d\n", errno);
                  return 1;
          }

          mem_fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR);
          if (mem_fd < 0) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "open(/proc/self/mem) failed: %d\n", errno);
                  return 1;
          }

          if (pwrite(mem_fd, "0", 1, (uintptr_t) map) == 1) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "write() succeeded, which is unexpected\n");
                  return 1;
          }

          printf("write() failed as expected: %d\n", errno);
          return 0;
  }
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fortunately, we have a sanity check in hugetlb_wp() in place ever since
commit 1d8d14641f ("mm/hugetlb: support write-faults in shared
mappings"), that bails out instead of silently mapping a page writable in
a !PROT_WRITE VMA.

Consequently, above reproducer triggers a warning, similar to the one
reported by szsbot:

So let's silence that warning by teaching GUP code that FOLL_FORCE -- so
far -- does not apply to hugetlb.

Note that FOLL_FORCE for read-access seems to be working as expected.  The
assumption is that this has been broken forever, only ever since above
commit, we actually detect the wrong handling and WARN_ON_ONCE().

I assume this has been broken at least since 2014, when mm/gup.c came to
life.  I failed to come up with a suitable Fixes tag quickly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
