mm: avoid deadlock when holding rmap on mmap_prepare error
Commit ac0a3fc9c07d ("mm: add ability to take further action in vm_area_desc") added the ability for drivers to instruct mm to take actions after the .mmap_prepare callback is complete. To make life simpler and safer, this is done before the VMA/mmap write lock is dropped but when the VMA is completely established. So on error, we simply munmap() the VMA. As part of this implementation, unfortunately a horrible hack had to be implemented to support some questionable behaviour hugetlb relies upon - that is that the file rmap lock is held until the operation is complete. The implementation, for convenience, did this in mmap_action_finish() so both the VMA and mmap_prepare compatibility layer paths would have this correctly handled. However, it turns out there is a mistake here - the rmap lock cannot be held on munmap, as free_pgtables() -> unlink_file_vma_batch_add() -> unlink_file_vma_batch_process() takes the file rmap lock. We therefore currently have a deadlock issue that might arise. Resolve this by leaving it to callers to handle the unmap. The compatibility layer does not support this rmap behaviour, so we simply have it unmap on error after calling mmap_action_complete(). In the VMA implementation, we only perform the unmap after the rmap lock is dropped. This resolves the issue by ensuring the rmap lock is always dropped when the unmap occurs.
