[PATCH 0/2] mm/hugetlb: Fix issues on file sealing and fork
From: Peter Xu
Date: Sat May 01 2021 - 10:42:37 EST
Hugh reported issue with F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE not applied correctly to
hugetlbfs, which I can easily verify using the memfd_test program, which seems
that the program is hardly run with hugetlbfs pages (as by default shmem).
Meanwhile I found another probably even more severe issue on that hugetlb fork
won't wr-protect child cow pages, so child can potentially write to parent
private pages. Patch 2 addresses that.
After this series applied, "memfd_test hugetlbfs" should start to pass.
Please review, thanks.
