[PATCH 5.12 081/110] mm/memory-failure: use a mutex to avoid memory_failure() races

[Sasha Levin]

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 171936ddaf97e6f4e1264f4128bb5cf15691339c upstream.

Patch series "mm,hwpoison: fix sending SIGBUS for Action Required MCE", v5.

I wrote this patchset to materialize what I think is the current
allowable solution mentioned by the previous discussion [1].  I simply
borrowed Tony's mutex patch and Aili's return code patch, then I queued
another one to find error virtual address in the best effort manner.  I
know that this is not a perfect solution, but should work for some
typical case.

This patch (of 2):

There can be races when multiple CPUs consume poison from the same page.
The first into memory_failure() atomically sets the HWPoison page flag
and begins hunting for tasks that map this page.  Eventually it
invalidates those mappings and may send a SIGBUS to the affected tasks.

But while all that work is going on, other CPUs see a "success" return
code from memory_failure() and so they believe the error has been
handled and continue executing.

Fix by wrapping most of the internal parts of memory_failure() in a
mutex.

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: make mf_mutex local to memory_failure()]
