Thanks, looks very similar.

You say this was a 3.4 kernel but the message says 3.3. Probably not
relevant, just interesting.

I think this is papering over the problem. Basically this check works
because after page table sharing, the parent and child are pointing to the
same data page even if they are not sharing page tables. As it's during
fork(), we cannot have faulted in parallel so the populated PTE must be
due to page table sharing. If the parent has not faulted the page, then
sharing is not attempted and again the problem is avoided. It would be a
new instance though of hugetlbfs just happening to work because of its
limitations - in this case, it works because we only share page tables
for MAP_SHARED.
Fundamentally I think the problem is that we are not correctly detecting
that page table sharing took place during huge_pte_alloc(). This patch is
longer and makes an API change but if I'm right, it addresses the underlying
problem. The first VM_MAYSHARE patch is still necessary but would you mind
testing this on top please?

mm: hugetlbfs: Correctly detect if page tables have just been shared
Each page mapped in a processes address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are
straight-forward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.
The page table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while
the mapcount remains the same. If this accounting is wrong, it causes
bugs like this one reported by Larry Woodman

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte. The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is with
a different process entirely then this check fails as in this diagram.
parent
|
------------>pmd
src_pte----------> data page
^
other--------->pmd--------------------|
^
child-----------|
dst_pte
For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other
to have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is
possible due to the following style of race.
PROC A PROC B
copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range
src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset
!src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing
(time passes)
hugetlb_fault hugetlb_fault
huge_pte_alloc huge_pte_alloc
huge_pmd_share huge_pmd_share
LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
find nothing, no sharing
UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
find nothing, no sharing
UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
pmd_alloc pmd_alloc
LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
fault
UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
fault
UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not sharing
page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either process later
forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient. As the check
falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in (harmless but wrong)
and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a shared page table leading
to the BUG_ON.
