Page faults can race with fallocate hole punch. If a page fault happens
between the unmap and remove operations, the page is not removed and
remains within the hole. This is not the desired behavior. The race
is difficult to detect in user level code as even in the non-race
case, a page within the hole could be faulted back in before fallocate
returns. If userfaultfd is expanded to support hugetlbfs in the future,
this race will be easier to observe.
If this race is detected and a page is mapped, the remove operation
(remove_inode_hugepages) will unmap the page before removing. The unmap
within remove_inode_hugepages occurs with the hugetlb_fault_mutex held
so that no other faults will be processed until the page is removed.
The (unmodified) routine hugetlb_vmdelete_list was moved ahead of
remove_inode_hugepages to satisfy the new reference.
