[PATCH 0/3] hugetlb: fixes for new vma lock series
From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Tue Oct 04 2022 - 21:17:52 EST
In review of the series "hugetlb: Use new vma lock for huge pmd sharing
synchronization", Miaohe Lin pointed out two key issues:
1) There is a race in the routine hugetlb_unmap_file_folio when locks
are dropped and reacquired in the correct order [1].
2) With the switch to using vma lock for fault/truncate synchronization,
we need to make sure lock exists for all VM_MAYSHARE vmas, not just
vmas capable of pmd sharing.
These two issues are addressed here. In addition, having a vma lock
present in all VM_MAYSHARE vmas, uncovered some issues around vma
splitting. Those are also addressed.
The series "hugetlb: Use new vma lock for huge pmd sharing synchronization"
is currently in mm-stable and may soon be merged??? This is why I am
sending 'fixes' to that series instead of a new version. If a new
version of the series is preferred, I can do that. Just wanted to get
these changes out for review.
