UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT(2const) UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT(2const)
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT - write-protect or write-unprotect a
userfaultfd-registered memory range
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <linux/userfaultfd.h> /* Definition of UFFD* constants */
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
int ioctl(int fd, UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT, ...);
#include <linux/userfaultfd.h>
struct uffdio_writeprotect {
struct uffdio_range range; /* Range to change write permission*/
__u64 mode; /* Mode to change write permission */
};
Write-protect or write-unprotect a userfaultfd-registered memory
range registered with mode UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP.
There are two mode bits that are supported in this structure:
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP
When this mode bit is set, the ioctl will be a write-
protect operation upon the memory range specified by
range. Otherwise it will be a write-unprotect operation
upon the specified range, which can be used to resolve a
userfaultfd write-protect page fault.
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_DONTWAKE
When this mode bit is set, do not wake up any thread that
waits for page-fault resolution after the operation. This
can be specified only if UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP is
not specified.
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned and errno is
set to indicate the error.
EINVAL The start or the len field of the ufdio_range structure
was not a multiple of the system page size; or len was
zero; or the specified range was otherwise invalid.
EAGAIN The process was interrupted; retry this call.
ENOENT The range specified in range is not valid. For example,
the virtual address does not exist, or not registered with
userfaultfd write-protect mode.
EFAULT Encountered a generic fault during processing.
