Michael S. Tsirkin f822566165 [PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK
Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.

In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.

This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

* kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
*
* behavior values:
* MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
* results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
* MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
* on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
* cation will need more than what it asks for.
* MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
* once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
* can be freed soon after they are accessed.
* MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
* some pages ahead.
* MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
* so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
* MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
* pages and associated backing store.

* return values:
* zero - success
* -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
* "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
* is attempting to release locked or shared pages.

* mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
* -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
* -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
