[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Unmap pages if page fault raced with hole punch

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Thu Oct 29 2015 - 18:35:04 EST


This patch is a combination of:
[PATCH v2 4/4] mm/hugetlb: Unmap pages to remove if page fault raced
with hole punch and,
[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: i_mmap_lock_write before unmapping in
remove_inode_hugepages
This patch can replace the entire series:
[PATCH v2 0/4] hugetlbfs fallocate hole punch race with page faults
and
[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: i_mmap_lock_write before unmapping in
remove_inode_hugepages
It is being provided in an effort to possibly make tree management easier.

Page faults can race with fallocate hole punch. If a page fault happens
between the unmap and remove operations, the page is not removed and
remains within the hole. This is not the desired behavior.

If this race is detected and a page is mapped, the remove operation
(remove_inode_hugepages) will unmap the page before removing. The unmap
within remove_inode_hugepages occurs with the hugetlb_fault_mutex held
so that no other faults can occur until the page is removed.

The (unmodified) routine hugetlb_vmdelete_list was moved ahead of
remove_inode_hugepages to satisfy the new reference.
