[RFC PATCH 3/3] huegtlbfs: handle page fault/truncate races

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Tue Oct 13 2020 - 19:11:38 EST


A huegtlb page fault can race with page truncation. Make the code
identifying and handling these races more robust.

Page fault handling needs to back out pages added to page cache beyond
file size (i_size). When backing out the page, take care to restore
reserve map entries and counts as necessary.

File truncation (remove_inode_hugepages) needs to handle page mapping
changes that could have happened before locking the page. This could
happen if page was added to page cache and later backed out in fault
processing.
