Simplify shmem and file THP collapse's retract_page_tables(), and relax
its locking: to improve its success rate and to lessen impact on others.
Instead of its MADV_COLLAPSE case doing set_huge_pmd() at target_addr of
target_mm, leave that part of the work to madvise_collapse() calling
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() afterwards: just adjust collapse_file()'s
result code to arrange for that. That spares retract_page_tables() four
arguments; and since it will be successful in retracting all of the page
tables expected of it, no need to track and return a result code itself.
It needs i_mmap_lock_read(mapping) for traversing the vma interval tree,
but it does not need i_mmap_lock_write() for that: page_vma_mapped_walk()
allows for pte_offset_map_lock() etc to fail, and uses pmd_lock() for
THPs. retract_page_tables() just needs to use those same spinlocks to
exclude it briefly, while transitioning pmd from page table to none: so
restore its use of pmd_lock() inside of which pte lock is nested.
Users of pte_offset_map_lock() etc all now allow for them to fail:
so retract_page_tables() now has no use for mmap_write_trylock() or
vma_try_start_write(). In common with rmap and page_vma_mapped_walk(),
it does not even need the mmap_read_lock().
But those users do expect the page table to remain a good page table,
until they unlock and rcu_read_unlock(): so the page table cannot be
freed immediately, but rather by the recently added pte_free_defer().
Use the (usually a no-op) pmdp_get_lockless_sync() to send an interrupt
when PAE, and pmdp_collapse_flush() did not already do so: to make sure
that the start,pmdp_get_lockless(),end sequence in __pte_offset_map()
cannot pick up a pmd entry with mismatched pmd_low and pmd_high.
retract_page_tables() can be enhanced to replace_page_tables(), which
inserts the final huge pmd without mmap lock: going through an invalid
state instead of pmd_none() followed by fault. But that enhancement
does raise some more questions: leave it until a later release.
