mm: fix swapops.h:131 bug if remap_file_pages raced migration
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting
little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity:
indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the
migration entries that was temporarily inserted.

The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree
(good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good
for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages()
range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range).

remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the
i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration
entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race.

The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this;
but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

/*
* Congratulations to trinity for discovering this bug.
* mm/fremap.c's remap_file_pages() accepts any range within a single vma to
* convert that vma to VM_NONLINEAR; and generic_file_remap_pages() will then
* replace the specified range by file ptes throughout (maybe populated after).
* If page migration finds a page within that range, while it's still located
* by vma_interval_tree rather than lost to i_mmap_nonlinear list, no problem:
* zap_pte() clears the temporary migration entry before mmap_sem is dropped.
* But if the migrating page is in a part of the vma outside the range to be
* remapped, then it will not be cleared, and remove_migration_ptes() needs to
* deal with it. Fortunately, this part of the vma is of course still linear,
* so we just need to use linear location on the nonlinear list.
