commit 22247efd822e6d263f3c8bd327f3f769aea9b1d9 upstream. Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Fix issues on file sealing and fork", v2. Hugh reported issue with F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE not applied correctly to hugetlbfs, which I can easily verify using the memfd_test program, which seems that the program is hardly run with hugetlbfs pages (as by default shmem). Meanwhile I found another probably even more severe issue on that hugetlb fork won't wr-protect child cow pages, so child can potentially write to parent private pages. Patch 2 addresses that. After this series applied, "memfd_test hugetlbfs" should start to pass. This patch (of 2): F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE is missing for hugetlb starting from the first day. There is a test program for that and it fails constantly. $ ./memfd_test hugetlbfs memfd-hugetlb: CREATE memfd-hugetlb: BASIC memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-WRITE memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-FUTURE-WRITE mmap() didn't fail as expected Aborted (core dumped) I think it's probably because no one is really running the hugetlbfs test. Fix it by checking FUTURE_WRITE also in hugetlbfs_file_mmap() as what we do in shmem_mmap(). Generalize a helper for that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
