[PATCH v7] hugetlb: don't delete vma_lock in hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED processing

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Tue Nov 01 2022 - 21:33:42 EST


madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) ends up calling zap_page_range() to clear page
tables associated with the address range. For hugetlb vmas,
zap_page_range will call __unmap_hugepage_range_final. However,
__unmap_hugepage_range_final assumes the passed vma is about to be removed
and deletes the vma_lock to prevent pmd sharing as the vma is on the way
out. In the case of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the vma remains, but the
missing vma_lock prevents pmd sharing and could potentially lead to issues
with truncation/fault races.

This issue was originally reported here [1] as a BUG triggered in
page_try_dup_anon_rmap. Prior to the introduction of the hugetlb
vma_lock, __unmap_hugepage_range_final cleared the VM_MAYSHARE flag to
prevent pmd sharing. Subsequent faults on this vma were confused as
VM_MAYSHARE indicates a sharable vma, but was not set so page_mapping was
not set in new pages added to the page table. This resulted in pages that
appeared anonymous in a VM_SHARED vma and triggered the BUG.

Address issue by:
- Add a new zap flag ZAP_FLAG_UNMAP to indicate an unmap call from
unmap_vmas(). This is used to indicate the 'final' unmapping of a vma.
When called via MADV_DONTNEED, this flag is not set and the vm_lock is
not deleted.
- mmu notification is removed from __unmap_hugepage_range to avoid
duplication, and notification is added to the other calling routine
(unmap_hugepage_range).
- notification calls are updated in zap_page range to take into account
the possibility of multiple vmas.
