[PATCH v3 7/8] hugetlb: make free_huge_page irq safe

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Tue Mar 30 2021 - 23:44:00 EST

Commit c77c0a8ac4c5 ("mm/hugetlb: defer freeing of huge pages if in
non-task context") was added to address the issue of free_huge_page
being called from irq context. That commit hands off free_huge_page
processing to a workqueue if !in_task. However, this doesn't cover
all the cases as pointed out by 0day bot lockdep report [1].

: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
:
: CPU0 CPU1
: ---- ----
: lock(hugetlb_lock);
: local_irq_disable();
: lock(slock-AF_INET);
: lock(hugetlb_lock);
: <Interrupt>
: lock(slock-AF_INET);

Shakeel has later explained that this is very likely TCP TX zerocopy
from hugetlb pages scenario when the networking code drops a last
reference to hugetlb page while having IRQ disabled. Hugetlb freeing
path doesn't disable IRQ while holding hugetlb_lock so a lock dependency
chain can lead to a deadlock.

This commit addresses the issue by doing the following:
- Make hugetlb_lock irq safe. This is mostly a simple process of
changing spin_*lock calls to spin_*lock_irq* calls.
- Make subpool lock irq safe in a similar manner.
- Revert the !in_task check and workqueue handoff.
