Subject: [PATCH] s390/mm: do not trigger write fault when vma does not allow
VM_WRITE

For non-protection pXd_none() page faults in do_dat_exception(), we call do_exception() with access == (VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC). In do_exception(), vma->vm_flags is checked against that before calling handle_mm_fault().

Since commit 92f842eac7ee3 ("[S390] store indication fault optimization"), we call handle_mm_fault() with FAULT_FLAG_WRITE, when recognizing that it was a write access. However, the vma flags check is still only checking against (VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC), and therefore also calling handle_mm_fault() with FAULT_FLAG_WRITE in cases where the vma does not allow VM_WRITE.

Fix this by changing access check in do_exception() to VM_WRITE only, when recognizing write access.

PATCH 1/1 s390/mm: do not trigger write fault when vma does not allow VM_WRITE

commit 41ac42f137080bc230b5882e3c88c392ab7f2d32 upstream.

For non-protection pXd_none() page faults in do_dat_exception(), we call do_exception() with access == (VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC). In do_exception(), vma->vm_flags is checked against that before calling handle_mm_fault().

However, the vma flags check is still only checking against (VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC), and therefore also calling handle_mm_fault() with FAULT_FLAG_WRITE in cases where the vma does not allow VM_WRITE.
