[PATCH v3] mm/hugetlb: fix a addressing exception caused by huge_pte_offset

[Longpeng(Mike)]

From: Longpeng <longpeng2@xxxxxxxxxx>

Our machine encountered a panic(addressing exception) after run
for a long time and the calltrace is:

For 1G hugepages, huge_pte_offset() wants to return NULL or pudp, but it
may return a wrong 'pmdp' if there is a race. Please look at the following
code snippet:
    ...
    pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr);
    if (sz != PUD_SIZE && pud_none(*pud))
        return NULL;
    /* hugepage or swap? */
    if (pud_huge(*pud) || !pud_present(*pud))
        return (pte_t *)pud;

    pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
    if (sz != PMD_SIZE && pmd_none(*pmd))
        return NULL;
    /* hugepage or swap? */
    if (pmd_huge(*pmd) || !pmd_present(*pmd))
        return (pte_t *)pmd;
    ...

The following sequence would trigger this bug:
1. CPU0: sz = PUD_SIZE and *pud = 0 , continue
1. CPU0: "pud_huge(*pud)" is false
2. CPU1: calling hugetlb_no_page and set *pud to xxxx8e7(PRESENT)
3. CPU0: "!pud_present(*pud)" is false, continue
4. CPU0: pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr) and maybe return a wrong pmdp
However, we want CPU0 to return NULL or pudp in this case.

Also, according to the section 'COMPILER BARRIER' of memory-barriers.txt:
'''
 (*) The compiler is within its rights to reorder loads and stores
     to the same variable, and in some cases, the CPU is within its
     rights to reorder loads to the same variable.  This means that
     the following code:

        a[0] = x;
        a[1] = x;

     Might result in an older value of x stored in a[1] than in a[0].
'''
there're several other data races in huge_pte_offset, for example:
'''
  p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr)
  if (!p4d_present(*p4d))
      return NULL;
  pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr) <-- will be unwinded as:
    pud = (pud_t *)p4d_page_vaddr(*p4d) + pud_index(address);
'''
which is free for the compiler/CPU to execute as:
'''
  p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr)
  p4d_for_vaddr = *p4d;
  if (!p4d_present(*p4d))
      return NULL;
  pud = (pud_t *)p4d_page_vaddr(p4d_for_vaddr) + pud_index(address);
'''
so in the case where *p4g goes from '!present' to 'present':
p4d_present(*p4d) and p4d_for_vaddr == none, meaning the p4d_page_vaddr()
will crash.

For these reasons, we must make sure there is exactly one dereference of
p4g, pud and pmd.

v2 -> v3:
  make sure p4g/pud/pmd be dereferenced once. [Jason]
