[PATCH v4] mm/hwpoison: fix race between hugetlb free/demotion and memory_failure_hugetlb()

From: Naoya Horiguchi

From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx>

There is a race condition between memory_failure_hugetlb() and hugetlb
free/demotion, which causes setting PageHWPoison flag on the wrong page.
The one simple result is that wrong processes can be killed, but another
(more serious) one is that the actual error is left unhandled, so no one
prevents later access to it, and that might lead to more serious results
like consuming corrupted data.

Think about the below race window:

CPU 1 CPU 2
memory_failure_hugetlb
struct page *head = compound_head(p);
hugetlb page might be freed to
buddy, or even changed to another
compound page.

get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now...

The compound_head is called outside hugetlb_lock, so the head is not
reliable.

So set PageHWPoison flag after passing prechecks. And to detect
potential violation, this patch also introduces a new action type
MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE.

ChangeLog v3 -> v4:
- squash with "mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with changing page
compound again".
- update patch subject and description based on it.

ChangeLog v2 -> v3:
- rename the patch because page lock is not the primary factor to
solve the reported issue.
- updated description in the same manner.
- call page_handle_poison() instead of __page_handle_poison() for
free hugepage case.
- reorder put_page and unlock_page (thanks to Miaohe Lin)

ChangeLog v1 -> v2:
- pass subpage to get_hwpoison_huge_page() instead of head page.
- call compound_head() in hugetlb_lock to avoid race with hugetlb
demotion/free.
