[PATCH 01/18] mm: numa: Serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration

[Mel Gorman]

Base pages are unmapped and flushed from cache and TLB during normal page
migration and replaced with a migration entry that causes any parallel or
gup to block until migration completes. THP does not unmap pages due to
a lack of support for migration entries at a PMD level. This allows races
with get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast which commit 3f926ab94 ("mm:
Close races between THP migration and PMD numa clearing") made worse by
introducing a pmd_clear_flush().

This patch forces get_user_page (fast and normal) on a pmd_numa page to
go through the slow get_user_page path where it will serialise against THP
migration and properly account for the NUMA hinting fault. On the migration
side the page table lock is taken for each PTE update.
