userfaultfd: prevent concurrent API initialization
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 22e5fe2 ]

userfaultfd assumes that the enabled features are set once and never
changed after UFFDIO_API ioctl succeeded.

However, currently, UFFDIO_API can be called concurrently from two
different threads, succeed on both threads and leave userfaultfd's
features in non-deterministic state.  Theoretically, other uffd operations
(ioctl's and page-faults) can be dispatched while adversely affected by
such changes of features.

Moreover, the writes to ctx->state and ctx->features are not ordered,
which can - theoretically, again - let userfaultfd_ioctl() think that
userfaultfd API completed, while the features are still not initialized.

To avoid races, it is arguably best to get rid of ctx->state.  Since there
are only 2 states, record the API initialization in ctx->features as the
uppermost bit and remove ctx->state.
