    mm/thp: fix __split_huge_pmd_locked() on shmem migration entry · 99fa8a48

    Patch series "mm/thp: fix THP splitting unmap BUGs and related", v10.
    
    Here is v2 batch of long-standing THP bug fixes that I had not got
    around to sending before, but prompted now by Wang Yugui's report
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210412180659.B9E3.409509F4@e16-tech.com/
    
    Wang Yugui has tested a rollup of these fixes applied to 5.10.39, and
    they have done no harm, but have *not* fixed that issue: something more
    is needed and I have no idea of what.
    
    This patch (of 7):
    
    Stressing huge tmpfs page migration racing hole punch often crashed on
    the VM_BUG_ON(!pmd_present) in pmdp_huge_clear_flush(), with DEBUG_VM=y
    kernel; or shortly afterwards, on a bad dereference in
    __split_huge_pmd_locked() when DEBUG_VM=n.  They forgot to allow for pmd
    migration entries in the non-anonymous case.
    
    Full disclosure: those particular experiments were on a kernel with more
    relaxed mmap_lock and i_mmap_rwsem locking, and were not repeated on the
    vanilla kernel: it is conceivable that stricter locking happens to avoid
    those cases, or makes them less likely; but __split_huge_pmd_locked()
    already allowed for pmd migration entries when handling anonymous THPs,
    so this commit brings the shmem and file THP handling into line.
    
    And while there: use old_pmd rather than _pmd, as in the following
    blocks; and make it clearer to the eye that the !vma_is_anonymous()
    block is self-contained, making an early return after accounting for
    unmapping.
