Subject: [PATCH v2 14/33] mm/khugepaged: write-lock VMA while collapsing a huge page
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 11:40:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230127194110.533103-15-surenb@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230127194110.533103-1-surenb@google.com>

Protect VMA from concurrent page fault handler while collapsing a huge
page. Page fault handler needs a stable PMD to use PTL and relies on
per-VMA lock to prevent concurrent PMD changes. pmdp_collapse_flush(),
set_huge_pmd() and collapse_and_free_pmd() can modify a PMD, which will
not be detected by a page fault handler without proper locking.

Before this patch, page tables can be walked under any one of the
mmap_lock, the mapping lock, and the anon_vma lock; so when khugepaged
unlinks and frees page tables, it must ensure that all of those either
are locked or don't exist. This patch adds a fourth lock under which
page tables can be traversed, and so khugepaged must also lock out that
one.
