[PATCH 3.4 027/172] mm/hugetlb: fix getting refcount 0 page in hugetlb_fault()

[lizf]

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.4.108-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 0f792cf949a0be506c2aa8bfac0605746b146dda upstream.

When running the test which causes the race as shown in the previous patch,
we can hit the BUG "get_page() on refcount 0 page" in hugetlb_fault().

This race happens when pte turns into migration entry just after the first
check of is_hugetlb_entry_migration() in hugetlb_fault() passed with false.
To fix this, we need to check pte_present() again after huge_ptep_get().

This patch also reorders taking ptl and doing pte_page(), because
pte_page() should be done in ptl.  Due to this reordering, we need use
trylock_page() in page != pagecache_page case to respect locking order.

[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
 - adjust context
 - there's no huge_pte_lock, so lock mm->page_table_lock directly
 - the lable should be out_page_table_lock instead of out_ptl]
