Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 5/8] oracle/mm: set MMF_HAS_PINNED on the mm receiving preserved pages
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:11:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014-b4-prep-khorenko-vstor-149847-2-doexec-pinned-memory-v1-5-36f1120f9b57@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014-b4-prep-khorenko-vstor-149847-2-doexec-pinned-memory-v1-0-36f1120f9b57@virtuozzo.com>
fork decides whether an anonymous page may be pinned with
folio_needs_cow_for_dma(), which looks at MMF_HAS_PINNED of the parent
mm before folio_maybe_dma_pinned(). Only GUP sets that flag, in the mm
whose pages it pins. Pages preserved across exec keep a long-term pin
taken through the old mm, but the new mm never has the flag, so a fork
in the new image clears PageAnonExclusive of a pinned page and maps it
read-only in both processes. The next write in the parent copies the
page and the device keeps the old one. A debug kernel catches the
shared page when the pin is dropped:
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageAnonExclusive(&folio->page))
kernel BUG at mm/gup.c:66!
RIP: 0010:sanity_check_pinned_pages+0x237/0x960
unpin_user_pages
gup_test_release
__fput
Set MMF_HAS_PINNED on the new mm when the old one has it.
