[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Move vmf_anon_prepare upfront in hugetlb_wp

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Tue May 21 2024 - 03:35:16 EST


hugetlb_wp calls vmf_anon_prepare() after having allocated a page, which
means that we might need to call restore_reserve_on_error() upon error.
vmf_anon_prepare() releases the vma lock before returning, but
restore_reserve_on_error() expects the vma lock to be held by the caller.

Fix it by calling vmf_anon_prepare() before allocating the page.

I did not hit this bug, I just spotted this because I was looking at hugetlb_wp
for some other reason. And I did not want to get creative to see if I could
trigger this so I could get a backtrace.
My assumption is that we could trigger this if 1) this was a shared mapping,
so no anon_vma and 2) we call in GUP code with FOLL_WRITE, which would cause
the FLAG_UNSHARE to be passed, so we will end up in hugetlb_wp().
