    mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd() · e66f17ff
    Naoya Horiguchi authored
    We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
    move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
    tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing.  This
    race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
    for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.
    
    This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
    This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
    architectures or configurations.
    
    This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
    then tail pages can be pinned/returned.  So the caller must be changed to
    properly handle the returned tail pages.
    
    We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
    follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
    currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
    for future development.
    
    Here is the reproducer:
    
      $ cat movepages.c
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <stdlib.h>
      #include <numaif.h>

      #define HPS             0x200000
      #define PS              0x1000
    
      int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
              int i;
              int nr_hp = strtol(argv[1], NULL, 0);
              int nr_p  = nr_hp * HPS / PS;
              int ret;
              void **addrs;
              int *status;
              int *nodes;
              pid_t pid;
    
              pid = strtol(argv[2], NULL, 0);
              addrs  = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1);
              status = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1);
              nodes  = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1);
    
              while (1) {
                      for (i = 0; i < nr_p; i++) {
                              addrs[i] = (void *)ADDR_INPUT + i * PS;
                              nodes[i] = 1;
                              status[i] = 0;
                      }
                      ret = numa_move_pages(pid, nr_p, addrs, nodes, status,

                      for (i = 0; i < nr_p; i++) {
                              addrs[i] = (void *)ADDR_INPUT + i * PS;
                              nodes[i] = 0;
                              status[i] = 0;
                      }
                      ret = numa_move_pages(pid, nr_p, addrs, nodes, status,

                      if (ret == -1)
                              err("move_pages");
              }
              return 0;
      }
