Subject: hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem to address page fault/truncate race
hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncate and hole punch operations.
Current code in the page fault path attempts to handle this by 'backing
out' operations if we encounter the race. One obvious omission in the
current code is removing a page newly added to the page cache. This is
pretty straight forward to address, but there is a more subtle and
difficult issue of backing out hugetlb reservations. To handle this
correctly, the 'reservation state' before page allocation needs to be
noted so that it can be properly backed out. There are four distinct
possibilities for reservation state: shared/reserved, shared/no-resv,
private/reserved and private/no-resv. Backing out a reservation may
require memory allocation which could fail so that needs to be taken into
account as well.
Instead of writing the required complicated code for this rare occurrence,
just eliminate the race. i_mmap_rwsem is now held in read mode for the
duration of page fault processing. Hold i_mmap_rwsem in write mode when
modifying i_size. In this way, truncation can not proceed when page
faults are being processed. In addition, i_size will not change during
fault processing so a single check can be made to ensure faults are not
beyond (proposed) end of file. Faults can still race with hole punch, but
that race is handled by existing code and the use of hugetlb_fault_mutex.
With this modification, checks for races with truncation in the page fault
path can be simplified and removed. remove_inode_hugepages no longer
needs to take hugetlb_fault_mutex in the case of truncation. Comments are
expanded to explain reasoning behind locking.
