[ Upstream commit 3b9aadf7278d16d7bed4d5d808501065f70898d8 ]
get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS instead. Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole, before grabbing the node id of the page.
If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS.
With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the get_mempolicy() will continue normally.
Background:
Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT (vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT).
This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be compliant with userfaults.
The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant" cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2) had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't).
So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like all other major ones already were.
This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the memory had a chance to be migrated to destination.
I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch:

The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search for syscall misbehavior). Spots like the above are more closer to a kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too.
The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing everything at 0).
