[PATCH v3 0/2] hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for better synchronization

[Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>]

There are two primary issues addressed here:
1) For shared pmds, huge PTE 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.

v2 -> v3
  Incorporated suggestions from Kirill.  Code change to hold i_mmap_rwsem
  for duration of copy in copy_hugetlb_page_range.  Took i_mmap_rwsem in
  hugetlbfs_evict_inode to be consistent with other callers.  Other changes
  were to documentation/comments.
v1 -> v2
  Combined patches 2 and 3 of v1 series as suggested by Aneesh.  No other
  changes were made.
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.
