5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9aa1345d66b8132745ffb99b348b1492088da9e2 upstream. syzbot reports oops in lockdep's __lock_acquire(), called from __pte_offset_map_lock() called from filemap_map_pages(); or when I run the repro, the oops comes in pmd_install(), called from filemap_map_pmd() called from filemap_map_pages(), just before the __pte_offset_map_lock(). The problem is that filemap_map_pmd() has been assuming that when it finds pmd_none(), a page table has already been prepared in prealloc_pte; and indeed do_fault_around() has been careful to preallocate one there, when it finds pmd_none(): but what if *pmd became none in between? My 6.6 mods in mm/khugepaged.c, avoiding mmap_lock for write, have made it easy for *pmd to be cleared while servicing a page fault; but even before those, a huge *pmd might be zapped while a fault is serviced. The difference in symptomatic stack traces comes from the "memory model" in use: pmd_install() uses pmd_populate() uses page_to_pfn(): in some models that is strict, and will oops on the NULL prealloc_pte; in other models, it will construct a bogus value to be populated into *pmd, then __pte_offset_map_lock() oops when trying to access split ptlock pointer (or some other symptom in normal case of ptlock embedded not pointer).
