hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table. Consider the following:
A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.
Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.
To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers
of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with the
ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is
called.
