[PATCH v5 1/2] mm: migration: fix migration of huge PMD shared pages

[Mike Kravetz]

The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the
source page.  This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all
vmas where the page is mapped.  This search stops when page mapcount
is zero.  For shared PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1
no matter the number of mappings.  Shared mappings are tracked via
the reference count of the PMD page.  Therefore, try_to_unmap stops
prematurely and does not completely unmap all mappings of the source
page.

This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original
source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the
target page.  Hence, data is lost.

This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global
areas after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors.
DB developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug)
offlining memory used to back huge pages.  A simple testcase can
reproduce the problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that
this must be at least PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on
x86)), and using migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between
nodes while continually writing to the huge pages being migrated.

To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing
by calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages.  If it is a
shared mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table
entry and drops the reference on the PMD page.  After this, flush
caches and TLB.

mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not
be sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked.  Therefore,
check for the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that
notifiers can prepare for the worst possible case.
