Subject: mm: lock VMAs skipped by a failed queue_pages_range()
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 14:16:08 -0700
When queue_pages_range() encounters an unmovable page, it terminates its
page walk. This walk, among other things, locks the VMAs in the range.
This termination might result in some VMAs being left unlocked after
queue_pages_range() completes. Since do_mbind() continues to operate on
these VMAs despite the failure from queue_pages_range(), it will encounter
an unlocked VMA, leading to a BUG().
This mbind() behavior has been modified several times before and might
need some changes to either finish the page walk even in the presence of
unmovable pages or to error out immediately after the failure to
queue_pages_range(). However that requires more discussions, so to fix
the immediate issue, explicitly lock the VMAs in the range if
queue_pages_range() failed. The added condition does not save much but is
added for documentation purposes to understand when this extra locking is
needed.
