Subject: [PATCH] mm/khugepaged: fix collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to allow
anon_vma
uprobe_write_opcode() uses collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to restore huge pmd,
when removing a breakpoint from hugepage text: vma->anon_vma is always set
in that case, so undo the prohibition. And MADV_COLLAPSE ought to be able
to collapse some page tables in a vma which happens to have anon_vma set
from CoWing elsewhere.
Is anon_vma lock required? Almost not: if any page other than expected
subpage of the non-anon huge page is found in the page table, collapse is
aborted without making any change. However, it is possible that an anon
page was CoWed from this extent in another mm or vma, in which case a
concurrent lookup might look here: so keep it away while clearing pmd (but
perhaps we shall go back to using pmd_lock() there in future).
Note that collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is exceptional in freeing a page table
without having cleared its ptes: I'm uneasy about that, and had thought
pte_clear()ing appropriate; but exclusive i_mmap lock does fix the
problem, and we would have to move the mmu_notification if clearing those
ptes.
What this fixes is not a dangerous instability. But I suggest Cc stable
because uprobes "healing" has regressed in that way, so this should follow
8d3c106e19e8 into those stable releases where it was backported (and may
want adjustment there - I'll supply backports as needed).
