The quilt patch titled Subject: hugetlb: don't delete vma_lock in hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED processing has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hugetlb-dont-delete-vma_lock-in-hugetlb-madv_dontneed-processing.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: hugetlb: don't delete vma_lock in hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED processing Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2022 18:31:00 -0700 madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) ends up calling zap_page_range() to clear page tables associated with the address range. For hugetlb vmas, zap_page_range will call __unmap_hugepage_range_final. However, __unmap_hugepage_range_final assumes the passed vma is about to be removed and deletes the vma_lock to prevent pmd sharing as the vma is on the way out. In the case of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the vma remains, but the missing vma_lock prevents pmd sharing and could potentially lead to issues with truncation/fault races. This issue was originally reported here [1] as a BUG triggered in page_try_dup_anon_rmap. Prior to the introduction of the hugetlb vma_lock, __unmap_hugepage_range_final cleared the VM_MAYSHARE flag to prevent pmd sharing. Subsequent faults on this vma were confused as VM_MAYSHARE indicates a sharable vma, but was not set so page_mapping was not set in new pages added to the page table. This resulted in pages that appeared anonymous in a VM_SHARED vma and triggered the BUG. Address issue by: - Add a new zap flag ZAP_FLAG_UNMAP to indicate an unmap call from unmap_vmas(). This is used to indicate the 'final' unmapping of a vma. When called via MADV_DONTNEED, this flag is not set and the vm_lock is not deleted. - mmu notification is removed from __unmap_hugepage_range to avoid duplication, and notification is added to the other calling routine (unmap_hugepage_range). - notification calls are updated in zap_page range to take into account the possibility of multiple vmas.
