hugetlb does not support fake write-faults (write faults without write
permissions). However, we are currently able to trigger a
FAULT_FLAG_WRITE fault on a VMA without VM_WRITE.
If we'd ever want to support FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE, we'd have to teach
hugetlb to:
(1) Leave the page mapped R/O after the fake write-fault, like
maybe_mkwrite() does.
(2) Allow writing to an exclusive anon page that's mapped R/O when
FOLL_FORCE is set, like can_follow_write_pte(). E.g.,
__follow_hugetlb_must_fault() needs adjustment.
For now, it's not clear if that added complexity is really required.
History tolds us that FOLL_FORCE is dangerous and that we better limit its
use to a bare minimum.

fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
mem_fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR);
if (mem_fd < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "open(/proc/self/mem) failed: %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
if (pwrite(mem_fd, "0", 1, (uintptr_t) map) == 1) {
fprintf(stderr, "write() succeeded, which is unexpected\n");
return 1;
}
printf("write() failed as expected: %d\n", errno);
return 0;
}

Fortunately, we have a sanity check in hugetlb_wp() in place ever since

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
