[PATCH v21 18/26] mm: Update can_follow_write_pte() for shadow stack

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Wed Feb 17 2021 - 17:40:12 EST


Can_follow_write_pte() ensures a read-only page is COWed by checking the
FOLL_COW flag, and uses pte_dirty() to validate the flag is still valid.

Like a writable data page, a shadow stack page is writable, and becomes
read-only during copy-on-write, but it is always dirty. Thus, in the
can_follow_write_pte() check, it belongs to the writable page case and
should be excluded from the read-only page pte_dirty() check. Apply
the same changes to can_follow_write_pmd().
