Subject: mm/hugetlb: restore the reservation if needed
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 09:10:57 -0800
Currently there is a bug that a huge page could be stolen, and when the
original owner tries to fault in it, it causes a page fault.
You can achieve that by:
1) Creating a single page
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
2) mmap() the page above with MAP_HUGETLB into (void *ptr1).
* This will mark the page as reserved
3) touch the page, which causes a page fault and allocates the page
* This will move the page out of the free list.
* It will also unreserved the page, since there is no more free
page
4) madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the page
* This will free the page, but not mark it as reserved.
5) Allocate a secondary page with mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) into (void *ptr2).
* it should fail, but, since there is no more available page.
* But, since the page above is not reserved, this mmap() succeed.
6) Faulting at ptr1 will cause a SIGBUS
* it will try to allocate a huge page, but there is none
available
A full reproducer is in selftest. See
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240105155419.1939484-1-leitao@xxxxxxxxxx/
Fix this by restoring the reserved page if necessary. If the page being
unmapped has HPAGE_RESV_OWNER set, and needs a reservation, set the
restore_reserve flag, which will move the page from free to reserved.
