Subject: mm: avoid data corruption on CoW fault into PFN-mapped VMA
Jeff Moyer has reported that one of xfstests triggers a warning when run
on DAX-enabled filesystem:
WARNING: CPU: 76 PID: 51024 at mm/memory.c:2317 wp_page_copy+0xc40/0xd50
...
wp_page_copy+0x98c/0xd50 (unreliable)
do_wp_page+0xd8/0xad0
__handle_mm_fault+0x748/0x1b90
handle_mm_fault+0x120/0x1f0
__do_page_fault+0x240/0xd70
do_page_fault+0x38/0xd0
handle_page_fault+0x10/0x30
The warning happens on failed __copy_from_user_inatomic() which tries to
copy data into a CoW page.
This happens because of race between MADV_DONTNEED and CoW page fault:
CPU0 CPU1
handle_mm_fault()
do_wp_page()
wp_page_copy()
do_wp_page()
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
zap_page_range()
zap_pte_range()
ptep_get_and_clear_full()
<TLB flush>
__copy_from_user_inatomic()
sees empty PTE and fails
WARN_ON_ONCE(1)
clear_page()
The solution is to re-try __copy_from_user_inatomic() under PTL after
checking that PTE is matches the orig_pte.
The second copy attempt can still fail, like due to non-readable PTE, but
there's nothing reasonable we can do about, except clearing the CoW page.
