    mm/hugetlb: fix pgtable lock on pmd sharing · 349d1670
    Peter Xu authored
    Huge pmd sharing operates on PUD not PMD, huge_pte_lock() is not suitable
    in this case because it should only work for last level pte changes, while
    pmd sharing is always one level higher.
    
    Meanwhile, here we're locking over the spte pgtable lock which is even not
    a lock for current mm but someone else's.
    
    It seems even racy on operating on the lock, as after put_page() of the
    spte pgtable page logically the page can be released, so at least the
    spin_unlock() needs to be done after the put_page().
    
    No report I am aware, I'm not even sure whether it'll just work on taking
    the spte pmd lock, because while we're holding i_mmap read lock it probably
    means the vma interval tree is frozen, all pte allocators over this pud
    entry could always find the specific svma and spte page, so maybe they'll
    serialize on this spte page lock?  Even so, doesn't seem to be expected.
    It just seems to be an accident of cb900f41.
    
    Fix it with the proper pud lock (which is the mm's page_table_lock).
