2022-01-15mm: page table checkPasha Tatashin1-0/+270
Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed. Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double mapping. When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.
