[PATCH v3 0/8] make hugetlb put_page safe for all calling contexts

[Mike Kravetz]

This effort is the result a recent bug report [1].  Syzbot found a
potential deadlock in the hugetlb put_page/free_huge_page_path.
WARNING: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected
Since the free_huge_page_path already has code to 'hand off' page
free requests to a workqueue, a suggestion was proposed to make
the in_irq() detection accurate by always enabling PREEMPT_COUNT [2].
The outcome of that discussion was that the hugetlb put_page path
(free_huge_page) path should be properly fixed and safe for all calling
contexts.

This series is based on v5.12-rc3-mmotm-2021-03-17-22-24.  At a high
level, the series provides:
- Patches 1 & 2 change CMA bitmap mutex to an irq safe spinlock
- Patch 3 adds a mutex for proc/sysfs interfaces changing hugetlb counts
- Patches 4, 5 & 6 are aimed at reducing lock hold times.  To be clear
  the goal is to eliminate single lock hold times of a long duration.
  Overall lock hold time is not addressed.
- Patch 7 makes hugetlb_lock and subpool lock IRQ safe.  It also reverts
  the code which defers calls to a workqueue if !in_task.
- Patch 8 adds some lockdep_assert_held() calls

v2 -> v3
- Update commit message in patch 1 as suggested by Michal
- Do not use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore when we know we
  are in task context as suggested by Michal
- Remove unnecessary INIT_LIST_HEAD() as suggested by Muchun
  
v1 -> v2
- Drop Roman's cma_release_nowait() patches and just change CMA mutex
  to an IRQ safe spinlock.
- Cleanups to variable names, commets and commit messages as suggested
  by Michal, Oscar, Miaohe and Muchun.
- Dropped unnecessary INIT_LIST_HEAD as suggested by Michal and list_del
  as suggested by Muchun.
- Created update_and_free_pages_bulk helper as suggested by Michal.
- Rebased on v5.12-rc4-mmotm-2021-03-28-16-37
- Added Acked-by: and Reviewed-by: from v1

RFC -> v1
- Add Roman's cma_release_nowait() patches.  This eliminated the need
  to do a workqueue handoff in hugetlb code.
- Use Michal's suggestion to batch pages for freeing.  This eliminated
  the need to recalculate loop control variables when dropping the lock.
- Added lockdep_assert_held() calls
- Rebased to v5.12-rc3-mmotm-2021-03-17-22-24

Mike Kravetz (8):
  mm/cma: change cma mutex to irq safe spinlock
  hugetlb: no need to drop hugetlb_lock to call cma_release
  hugetlb: add per-hstate mutex to synchronize user adjustments
  hugetlb: create remove_hugetlb_page() to separate functionality
  hugetlb: call update_and_free_page without hugetlb_lock
  hugetlb: change free_pool_huge_page to remove_pool_huge_page
  hugetlb: make free_huge_page irq safe
  hugetlb: add lockdep_assert_held() calls for hugetlb_lock
