mm/hugetlb: fix swap entry corruption when clearing uffd-wp at fork()
copy_hugetlb_page_range() clears the uffd-wp bit of hwpoison and migration
entries with huge_pte_clear_uffd_wp(), which operates on the present-PTE
bit position. Swap entries keep the uffd-wp state elsewhere -- the same
branches read and set it with pte_swp_uffd_wp() and pte_swp_mkuffd_wp() --
and the present-PTE position falls into the swap payload. On x86-64 it
lands in the inverted swap offset, where a naturally-aligned hugetlb PFN
always has the affected bit set, so the clear advances the encoded PFN by
two pages.
No userfaultfd needs to be involved: the clear is guarded only by the
child VMA not being uffd-wp registered, so a plain fork() with an
in-flight hugetlb migration entry (or a poisoned hugetlb page) corrupts
the entry copied into the child. Instrumenting the hwpoison branch and
forking after MADV_HWPOISON on a 2MB anon hugetlb page shows:
offset before=120e00
offset after =120e02
The fallout is mostly latent: rmap walks match migration entries by folio
range and remove_migration_pte() rebuilds the PTE from the folio, so a
within-folio PFN skew heals once migration completes. But any path that
re-encodes the corrupted offset -- e.g. hugetlb_change_protection()
rewriting a writable migration entry via
make_readable_migration_entry(swp_offset(entry)) -- propagates it, and an
hwpoison entry misidentifies which page is poisoned.
Use pte_swp_clear_uffd_wp(), matching copy_nonpresent_pte() and
move_huge_pte().
