From: Vishal Moola (Oracle) <vishal.moola@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2a058ab3286d6475b2082b90c2d2182d2fea4b39 upstream. Some callers of vmf_anon_prepare() may not want us to release the per-VMA lock ourselves. Rename vmf_anon_prepare() to __vmf_anon_prepare() and let the callers drop the lock when desired. Also, make vmf_anon_prepare() a wrapper that releases the per-VMA lock itself for any callers that don't care. This is in preparation to fix this bug reported by syzbot: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/00000000000067c20b06219fbc26@xxxxxxxxxx/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240914194243.245-1-vishal.moola@xxxxxxxxx Fixes: 9acad7ba3e25 ("hugetlb: use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare()") Reported-by: syzbot+2dab93857ee95f2eeb08@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/00000000000067c20b06219fbc26@xxxxxxxxxx/ Signed-off-by: Vishal Moola (Oracle) <vishal.moola@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/internal.h | 11 ++++++++++- mm/memory.c | 8 +++----- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- a/mm/internal.h +++ b/mm/internal.h @@ -310,7 +310,16 @@ static inline void wake_throttle_isolate wake_up(wqh); } -vm_fault_t vmf_anon_prepare(struct vm_fault *vmf); +vm_fault_t __vmf_anon_prepare(struct vm_fault *vmf); +static inline vm_fault_t vmf_anon_prepare(struct vm_fault *vmf) +{ + vm_fault_t ret = __vmf_anon_prepare(vmf); + + if (unlikely(ret & VM_FAULT_RETRY)) + vma_end_read(vmf->vma); + return ret; +} + vm_fault_t do_swap_page(struct vm_fault *vmf); void folio_rotate_reclaimable(struct folio *folio); bool __folio_end_writeback(struct folio *folio); --- a/mm/memory.c +++ b/mm/memory.c @@ -3276,7 +3276,7 @@ static inline vm_fault_t vmf_can_call_fa } /** - * vmf_anon_prepare - Prepare to handle an anonymous fault. + * __vmf_anon_prepare - Prepare to handle an anonymous fault. * @vmf: The vm_fault descriptor passed from the fault handler. * * When preparing to insert an anonymous page into a VMA from a @@ -3290,7 +3290,7 @@ static inline vm_fault_t vmf_can_call_fa * Return: 0 if fault handling can proceed.
