[PATCH 5.14-rc1] mm/rmap: fix munlocking Anon THP with mlocked ptes

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Sun Jul 11 2021 - 23:11:11 EST


Many thanks to Kirill for reminding that PageDoubleMap cannot be relied on
to warn of pte mappings in the Anon THP case; and a scan of subpages does
not seem appropriate here. Note how follow_trans_huge_pmd() does not even
mark an Anon THP as mlocked when compound_mapcount != 1: multiple mlocking
of Anon THP is avoided, so simply return from page_mlock() in this case.

Linus, thanks a lot for last-minute hoovering up those four mm/rmap
patches, with 3/4 fixing the syzbot and 0day reports on munlocking ...

BUT

... the version of 2/4 in 5.14-rc1 is defective (PageDoubleMap is a
confusing flag which behaves differently on anon and file), Kirill had
spotted that, and what he Acked was the v2 which went into mmotm, rather
than the first version I posted. This patch here converts the v1 in rc1
into the v2 Acked by Kirill.

What will go wrong with v1 in? I don't actually know: nothing terrible,
can only affect people splitting and mlocking anon THPs, maybe nobody and
nobot will notice, maybe some VM_BUG_ONs or "Bad page"s will turn up.
I'll be on the lookout to point reporters to this fix (more lines than
strictly necessary, because it removes a level of indentation).

And sorry for putting 2/4 before the more urgent 3/4, but I couldn't
tell what to do in 3/4, without first fixing the older bug in 2/4.

Hugh
