Commit Message

Andrey Gruzdev March 31, 2021, 5:28 p.m. UTC
This commit solves the issue with userfault_fd WP feature that
background snapshot is based on. For any never poluated or discarded
memory page, the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl() would skip updating
PTE for that page, thereby loosing WP setting for it.

So we need to pre-fault pages for each RAM block to be protected
before making a userfault_fd wr-protect ioctl().

Usually we use "rb" or "block"; however migration/ram.c seems to do 
things differently.

Also, proper "Fixes:" tags would be handy as well.
