3.13.11-ckt18 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit cbef8478bee55775ac312a574aad48af7bb9cf9f upstream.
Migrating hugepages and hwpoisoned hugepages are considered as non-present
hugepages, and they are referenced via migration entries and hwpoison
entries in their page table slots.
This behavior causes race condition because pmd_huge() doesn't tell
non-huge pages from migrating/hwpoisoned hugepages. follow_page_mask() is
one example where the kernel would call follow_page_pte() for such
hugepage while this function is supposed to handle only normal pages.
To avoid this, this patch makes pmd_huge() return true when pmd_none() is
true *and* pmd_present() is false. We don't have to worry about mixing up
non-present pmd entry with normal pmd (pointing to leaf level pte entry)
because pmd_present() is true in normal pmd.
The same race condition could happen in (x86-specific) gup_pmd_range(),
where this patch simply adds pmd_present() check instead of pmd_huge().
This is because gup_pmd_range() is fast path. If we have non-present
hugepage in this function, we will go into gup_huge_pmd(), then return 0
at flag mask check, and finally fall back to the slow path.
