Subject: mm, hugetlb: use pte_present() instead of pmd_present() in follow_huge_pmd()
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c9d398fa237882ea07167e23bcfc5e6847066518 upstream.
I found the race condition which triggers the following bug when
move_pages() and soft offline are called on a single hugetlb page
concurrently.
Soft offlining page 0x119400 at 0x700000000000
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0011943820

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: disabled
This bug is triggered when pmd_present() returns true for non-present
hugetlb, so fixing the present check in follow_huge_pmd() prevents it.
Using pmd_present() to determine present/non-present for hugetlb is not
correct, because pmd_present() checks multiple bits (not only
_PAGE_PRESENT) for historical reason and it can misjudge hugetlb state.
