      mm/memfd: add an F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal to memfd · ab3948f5
      Joel Fernandes (Google) authored
      Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions.  We are looking forward
      to migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly
      remove the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also
      benefiting from using memfd and contributing to it.  Note staging
      drivers are also not ABI and generally can be removed at anytime.
      
      One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region
      and mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any
      "future" writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed
      writeable-region active.  This allows us to implement a usecase where
      receivers of the shared memory buffer can get a read-only view, while
      the sender continues to write to the buffer.  See CursorWindow
      documentation in Android for more details:
      
        https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow
      
      This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal.
      To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
      which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
      keeping the existing mmap active.
      
      A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
      where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
      behavior of the seal.  This solves several side-effects pointed by Andy.
      self-tests are provided in later patch to verify the expected semantics.
      
      [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181111173650.GA256781@google.com/
      
      Thanks a lot to Andy for suggestions to improve code.

      mm: restructure memfd code · 5d752600
      Mike Kravetz authored
      With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation
      where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS.  Previously, memfd was only
      supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c.
      In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined.  If
      HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality
      will not be available for hugetlbfs.  This does not cause BUGs, just a
      lack of potentially desired functionality.
      
      Code is restructured in the following way:
      - include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific
        definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h.
      - mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously
        contained in shmem.c.
      - memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c.
      - A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS
        or HUGETLBFS is defined.
      
      No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only.
