mm: let mm_find_pmd fix buggy race with THP fault
Trinity has reported: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: __lock_acquire (kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3070 (discriminator 1)) CPU: 6 PID: 16173 Comm: trinity-c364 Tainted: G W 3.15.0-rc1-next-20140415-sasha-00020-gaa90d09 #398 lock_acquire (arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:14 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3602) _raw_spin_lock (include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151) remove_migration_pte (mm/migrate.c:137) rmap_walk (mm/rmap.c:1628 mm/rmap.c:1699) remove_migration_ptes (mm/migrate.c:224) migrate_pages (mm/migrate.c:922 mm/migrate.c:960 mm/migrate.c:1126) migrate_misplaced_page (mm/migrate.c:1733) __handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:3762 mm/memory.c:3812 mm/memory.c:3925) handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:3948) __get_user_pages (mm/memory.c:1851) __mlock_vma_pages_range (mm/mlock.c:255) __mm_populate (mm/mlock.c:711) SyS_mlockall (include/linux/mm.h:1799 mm/mlock.c:817 mm/mlock.c:791) I believe this comes about because, whereas collapsing and splitting THP functions take anon_vma lock in write mode (which excludes concurrent rmap walks), faulting THP functions (write protection and misplaced NUMA) do not - and mostly they do not need to. But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge. Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration ptes, seen in the dumped trace. Although that rmap walk has a 4k page to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from 4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent. I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions. And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.
