mm/memory: do not populate page table entries beyond i_size
Patch series "Fix SIGBUS semantics with large folios", v3.
Accessing memory within a VMA, but beyond i_size rounded up to the next
page size, is supposed to generate SIGBUS.
Darrick reported[1] an xfstests regression in v6.18-rc1. generic/749
failed due to missing SIGBUS. This was caused by my recent changes that
try to fault in the whole folio where possible:
19773df031bc ("mm/fault: try to map the entire file folio in finish_fault()")
357b92761d94 ("mm/filemap: map entire large folio faultaround")
These changes did not consider i_size when setting up PTEs, leading to
xfstest breakage.
However, the problem has been present in the kernel for a long time -
since huge tmpfs was introduced in 2016. The kernel happily maps
PMD-sized folios as PMD without checking i_size. And huge=always tmpfs
allocates PMD-size folios on any writes.
I considered this corner case when I implemented a large tmpfs, and my
conclusion was that no one in their right mind should rely on receiving a
SIGBUS signal when accessing beyond i_size. I cannot imagine how it could
be useful for the workload.
But apparently filesystem folks care a lot about preserving strict SIGBUS
semantics.
Generic/749 was introduced last year with reference to POSIX, but no real
workloads were mentioned. It also acknowledged the tmpfs deviation from
the test case.
POSIX indeed says[3]:
References within the address range starting at pa and
continuing for len bytes to whole pages following the end of an
object shall result in delivery of a SIGBUS signal.
The patchset fixes the regression introduced by recent changes as well as
more subtle SIGBUS breakage due to split failure on truncation.
This patch (of 2):
Accesses within VMA, but beyond i_size rounded up to PAGE_SIZE are
supposed to generate SIGBUS.
Recent changes attempted to fault in full folio where possible. They did
not respect i_size, which led to populating PTEs beyond i_size and
breaking SIGBUS semantics.
Darrick reported generic/749 breakage because of this.
However, the problem existed before the recent changes. With huge=always
tmpfs, any write to a file leads to PMD-size allocation. Following the
fault-in of the folio will install PMD mapping regardless of i_size.
Fix filemap_map_pages() and finish_fault() to not install:
- PTEs beyond i_size;
- PMD mappings across i_size;
Make an exception for shmem/tmpfs that for long time intentionally
mapped with PMDs across i_size.
