selftests: vm: add hugetlb_shared userfaultfd test to run_vmtests.sh
Patch series "userfaultfd: add /dev/userfaultfd for fine grained access
control", v7.
Why not ...?
============
- Why not /proc/[pid]/userfaultfd? Two main points (additional discussion [1]):
- /proc/[pid]/* files are all owned by the user/group of the process, and
they don't really support chmod/chown. So, without extending procfs it
doesn't solve the problem this series is trying to solve.
- The main argument *for* this was to support creating UFFDs for remote
processes. But, that use case clearly calls for CAP_SYS_PTRACE, so to
support this we could just use the UFFD syscall as-is.
- Why not use a syscall? Access to syscalls is generally controlled by
capabilities. We don't have a capability which is used for userfaultfd access
without also granting more / other permissions as well, and adding a new
capability was rejected [2].
- It's possible a LSM could be used to control access instead, but I have
some concerns. I don't think this approach would be as easy to use,
particularly if we were to try to solve this with something heavyweight
like SELinux. Maybe we could pursue adding a new LSM specifically for
this user case, but it may be too narrow of a case to justify that.

This patch (of 5):
This not being included was just a simple oversight. There are certain
features (like minor fault support) which are only enabled on shared
mappings, so without including hugetlb_shared we actually lose a
significant amount of test coverage.
