[PATCH 1/7] mm/thp: fix __split_huge_pmd_locked() on shmem migration entry

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Tue Jun 01 2021 - 17:05:52 EST


Stressing huge tmpfs page migration racing hole punch often crashed on the
VM_BUG_ON(!pmd_present) in pmdp_huge_clear_flush(), with DEBUG_VM=y kernel;
or shortly afterwards, on a bad dereference in __split_huge_pmd_locked()
when DEBUG_VM=n. They forgot to allow for pmd migration entries in the
non-anonymous case.

Full disclosure: those particular experiments were on a kernel with more
relaxed mmap_lock and i_mmap_rwsem locking, and were not repeated on the
vanilla kernel: it is conceivable that stricter locking happens to avoid
those cases, or makes them less likely; but __split_huge_pmd_locked()
already allowed for pmd migration entries when handling anonymous THPs,
so this commit brings the shmem and file THP handling into line.

Are there more places that need to be careful about pmd migration entries?
None hit in practice, but several of those is_huge_zero_pmd() tests were
done without checking pmd_present() first: I believe a pmd migration entry
could end up satisfying that test. Ah, the inversion of swap offset, to
protect against L1TF, makes that impossible on x86; but other arches need
the pmd_present() check, and even x86 ought not to apply pmd_page() to a
swap-like pmd. Fix those instances; __split_huge_pmd_locked() was not
wrong to be checking with pmd_trans_huge() instead, but I think it's
clearer to use pmd_present() in each instance.

And while there: make it clearer to the eye that the !vma_is_anonymous()
and is_huge_zero_pmd() blocks make early returns (and don't return void).
