[PATCH] userfaultfd/shmem: fix MCOPY_ATOMIC_CONTNUE error handling + accounting

From: Axel Rasmussen
Date: Thu Mar 25 2021 - 19:11:45 EST


Previously, in the error path, we unconditionally removed the page from
the page cache. But in the continue case, we didn't add it - it was
already there because the page is used by a second (non-UFFD-registered)
mapping. So, in that case, it's incorrect to remove it as the other
mapping may still use it normally.

For this error handling failure, trivially exercise it in the
userfaultfd selftest, to detect this kind of bug in the future.

Also, we previously were unconditionally calling shmem_inode_acct_block.
In the continue case, however, this is incorrect, because we would have
already accounted for the RAM usage when the page was originally
allocated (since at this point it's already in the page cache). So,
doing it in the continue case causes us to double-count.
