Subject: hugetlbfs: fix kernel BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:444!

This bug has been experienced several times by Oracle DB team.  The BUG is
in remove_inode_hugepages() as follows:

	/*
	 * If page is mapped, it was faulted in after being
	 * unmapped in caller.  Unmap (again) now after taking
	 * the fault mutex.  The mutex will prevent faults
	 * until we finish removing the page.
	 *
	 * This race can only happen in the hole punch case.
	 * Getting here in a truncate operation is a bug.
	 */
	if (unlikely(page_mapped(page))) {
		BUG_ON(truncate_op);

In this case, the elevated map count is not the result of a race.  Rather
it was incorrectly incremented as the result of a bug in the huge pmd
sharing code.  Consider the following:

- Process A maps a hugetlbfs file of sufficient size and alignment
  (PUD_SIZE) that a pmd page could be shared.
- Process B maps the same hugetlbfs file with the same size and alignment
  such that a pmd page is shared.
- Process B then calls mprotect() to change protections for the mapping
  with the shared pmd.  As a result, the pmd is 'unshared'.
- Process B then calls mprotect() again to chage protections for the
  mapping back to their original value.  pmd remains unshared.
- Process B then forks and process C is created.  During the fork process,
  we do dup_mm -> dup_mmap -> copy_page_range to copy page tables.  Copying
  page tables for hugetlb mappings is done in the routine
  copy_hugetlb_page_range.

In copy_hugetlb_page_range(), the destination pte is obtained by:
	dst_pte = huge_pte_alloc(dst, addr, sz);
If pmd sharing is possible, the returned pointer will be to a pte in an
existing page table.  In the situation above, process C could share with
either process A or process B.  Since process A is first in the list, the
returned pte is a pointer to a pte in process A's page table.

However, the following check for pmd sharing is in
copy_hugetlb_page_range.
	/* If the pagetables are shared don't copy or take references */
	if (dst_pte == src_pte)
		continue;

Since process C is sharing with process A instead of process B, the above
test fails.  The code in copy_hugetlb_page_range which follows assumes
dst_pte points to a huge_pte_none pte.  It copies the pte entry from
src_pte to dst_pte and increments this map count of the associated page. 
This is how we end up with an elevated map count.

To solve, check the dst_pte entry for huge_pte_none.  If !none, this
implies PMD sharing so do not copy.
