    mm/hugetlb: fix races when looking up a CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page · fac35ba7
    Baolin Wang authored
    On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size
    hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb (2M and
    1G), but also CONT-PTE/PMD size(64K and 32M) if a 4K page size specified.
    
    So when looking up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by follow_page(), it will
    use pte_offset_map_lock() to get the pte entry lock for the CONT-PTE size
    hugetlb in follow_page_pte().  However this pte entry lock is incorrect
    for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, since we should use huge_pte_lock() to get
    the correct lock, which is mm->page_table_lock.
    
    That means the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb under current pte
    lock is unstable in follow_page_pte(), we can continue to migrate or
    poison the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, which can cause some
    potential race issues, even though they are under the 'pte lock'.
    
    For example, suppose thread A is trying to look up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb
    page by move_pages() syscall under the lock, however antoher thread B can
    migrate the CONT-PTE hugetlb page at the same time, which will cause
    thread A to get an incorrect page, if thread A also wants to do page
    migration, then data inconsistency error occurs.
    
    Moreover we have the same issue for CONT-PMD size hugetlb in
    follow_huge_pmd().
    
    To fix above issues, rename the follow_huge_pmd() as follow_huge_pmd_pte()
    to handle PMD and PTE level size hugetlb, which uses huge_pte_lock() to
    get the correct pte entry lock to make the pte entry stable.

    Support for CONT_PMD/_PTE was added with bb9dd3df ("arm64: hugetlb:
    refactor find_num_contig()").  Patch series "Support for contiguous pte
    hugepages", v4.  However, I do not believe these code paths were
    executed until migration support was added with 5480280d ("arm64/mm:
    enable HugeTLB migration for contiguous bit HugeTLB pages") I would go
    with 5480280d for the Fixes: targe.
