mm/hugetlb: support FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE
Eric reported that PTRACE_POKETEXT fails when applications use hugetlb for
mapping text using huge pages. Before commit 1d8d14641fd9 ("mm/hugetlb:
support write-faults in shared mappings"), PTRACE_POKETEXT worked by
accident, but it was buggy and silently ended up mapping pages writable
into the page tables even though VM_WRITE was not set.
In general, FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE does currently not work with hugetlb.
Let's implement FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE properly for hugetlb, such that what
used to work in the past by accident now properly works, allowing
applications using hugetlb for text etc. to get properly debugged.
This change might also be required to implement uprobes support for
hugetlb [1].
