[PATCH 11/31] huge tmpfs: disband split huge pmds on race or memory failure

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Tue Apr 05 2016 - 17:29:20 EST


Andres L-C has pointed out that the single-page unmap_mapping_range()
fallback in truncate_inode_page() cannot protect against the case when
a huge page was faulted in after the full-range unmap_mapping_range():
because page_mapped(page) checks tail page's mapcount, not the head's.

So, there's a danger that hole-punching (and maybe even truncation)
can free pages while they are mapped into userspace with a huge pmd.
And I don't believe that the CVE-2014-4171 protection in shmem_fault()
can fully protect from this, although it does make it much harder.

Fix that by adding a duplicate single-page unmap_mapping_range()
into shmem_disband_hugeteam() (called when punching or truncating
a PageTeam), at the point when we also hold the head's page lock
(without which there would still be races): which will then split
all huge pmd mappings covering the page into team pte mappings.

This is also just what's needed to handle memory_failure() correctly:
provide custom shmem_error_remove_page(), call shmem_disband_hugeteam()
from that before proceeding to generic_error_remove_page(), then this
additional unmap_mapping_range() will remap team by ptes as needed.

(There is an unlikely case that we're racing with another disbander,
or disband didn't get trylock on head page at first: memory_failure()
has almost finished with the page, so it's safe to unlock and relock
before retrying.)

But there is one further change needed in hwpoison_user_mappings():
it must recognize a hugely mapped team before concluding that the
page is not mapped. (And still no support for soft_offline(),
which will have to wait for page migration of teams.)
