For the record, here's a better trace: Thanks for the reminder, and for the better trace: I don't find those traces where _every_ line is a "?

This trace shows clearly that unmap_mapping_range is being called from truncate_inode_range: that's supposed to be a rare inefficient fallback, normally all the mapped pages being unmapped by the prior call to unmap_mapping_range in shmem_fallocate itself. Now it's conceivable that there's some kind of off-by-one wrap-around case which doesn't behave as intended, but I was fairly careful there: you have to be because the different functions involved have different calling conventions and needs. It would be interesting to know the arguments to madvise() and to shmem_fallocate() to rule that out, but my guess is that's not the problem. Would trinity be likely to have a thread or process repeatedly faulting in pages from the hole while it is being punched? That's what it looks like to me, but I'm not sure what to do about it, if anything. It's a pity that shmem_fallocate is holding i_mutex over this holepunch that never completes, and that locks out others wanting i_mutex; but whether it's a serious matter in the scale of denials of service, I'm not so sure. Note that straight truncation does not suffer from the same problem: because there the faulters get a SIGBUS when they try to access beyond end of file, and need the i_mutex to re-extend the file. Does this happen with other holepunch filesystems? If it does not, I'd suppose it's because the tmpfs fault-in-newly-created-page path is lighter than a consistent disk-based filesystem's has to be. But we don't want to make the tmpfs path heavier to match them. My old commit, d0823576bf4b "mm: pincer in truncate_inode_pages_range", subsequently copied into shmem_undo_range, can be blamed. It seemed a nice idea at the time, to guarantee an instant during the holepunch when the entire hole is empty, whatever userspace does afterwards; but perhaps we should revert to sweeping out the pages without looking back. I don't want to make that change (and I don't want to make it in shmem_undo_range without doing the same in truncate_inode_pages_range), but it might be the right thing to do: linux-fsdevel Cc'ed for views.
