Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare address update
Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 13:50:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220524205003.126184-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com> (raw)

The routine huge_pmd_unshare is passed a pointer to an address
associated with an area which may be unshared.  If unshare is successful
this address is updated to 'optimize' callers iterating over huge page
addresses.  For the optimization to work correctly, address should be
updated to the last huge page in the unmapped/unshared area.  However,
in the common case where the passed address is PUD_SIZE aligned, the
address is incorrectly updated to the address of the preceding huge
page.  That wastes CPU cycles as the unmapped/unshared range is scanned
twice.

Fixes: 39dde65c9940 ("shared page table for hugetlb page")
