From 0f48947c4232c934885711dde0b49066f9d8ee87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 07:11:48 +0300 Subject: userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops Current userfaultfd implementation works only with memory managed by core MM: anonymous, shmem and hugetlb. First, there is no fundamental reason to limit userfaultfd support only to the core memory types and userfaults can be handled similarly to regular page faults provided a VMA owner implements appropriate callbacks. Second, historically various code paths were conditioned on vma_is_anonymous(), vma_is_shmem() and is_vm_hugetlb_page() and some of these conditions can be expressed as operations implemented by a particular memory type. Introduce vm_uffd_ops extension to vm_operations_struct that will delegate memory type specific operations to a VMA owner. Operations for anonymous memory are handled internally in userfaultfd using anon_uffd_ops that implicitly assigned to anonymous VMAs. Start with a single operation, ->can_userfault() that will verify that a VMA meets requirements for userfaultfd support at registration time. Implement that method for anonymous, shmem and hugetlb and move relevant parts of vma_can_userfault() into the new callbacks.
