Subject: [PATCH 0/3] hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for better synchronization
Date: Mon,  3 Dec 2018 12:08:47 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181203200850.6460-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com> (raw)

These patches are a follow up to the RFC,
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181024045053.1467-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com
Comments made by Naoya were addressed.

There are two primary issues addressed here:
1) For shared pmds, huge PE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
   invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
   reserve counts and state.
Both issues are addressed by expanding the use of i_mmap_rwsem.

These issues have existed for a long time.  They can be recreated with a
test program that causes page fault/truncation races.  For simple mappings,
this results in a negative HugePages_Rsvd count.  If racing with mappings
that contain shared pmds, we can hit "BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:444!" or
Oops! as the result of an invalid memory reference.

I broke up the larger RFC into separate patches addressing each issue.
Hopefully, this is easier to understand/review.

Mike Kravetz (3):
  hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization
  hugetlbfs: Use i_mmap_rwsem to fix page fault/truncate race
  hugetlbfs: remove unnecessary code after i_mmap_rwsem synchronization
