[PATCH] dma-buf: system_heap: Reject private mappings in system_heap_mmap()
From: Chris Wiseman
Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 16:44:21 EST
When commit 381295758792 ("dma-buf: system_heap: Rework system heap to
use sgtables instead of pagelists") stopped using heap_helpers.c and
added a custom system_heap_mmap(), the check rejecting private mappings
was dropped.
Other exporters and buffer allocators reject private or copy-on-write
mappings in their mmap handlers: cma_heap_mmap() and mmap_udmabuf()
check that VM_SHARED or VM_MAYSHARE is set, and drm_gem_shmem_mmap()
and ttm_bo_mmap_obj() reject vma_is_cow_mapping(vma).
However, system_heap_mmap() omits this check and calls remap_pfn_range()
even when userspace requests MAP_PRIVATE with PROT_WRITE. As a result,
subsequent CPU writes to a MAP_PRIVATE mapping of a system heap buffer
fault into do_wp_page() -> wp_page_copy(), silently allocating private
anonymous copy-on-write pages whose writes never reach the underlying
system heap buffer pages.
Reject non-shared mappings in system_heap_mmap() with -EINVAL to match
cma_heap_mmap() and mmap_udmabuf().
