<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=eb48c071464757414538c68a6033c8f8c15196f8'/>

Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount.  Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.

If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
Larry Woodman:

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte.  The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared.  This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child.  However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:

  parent
    |
    ------------&gt;pmd
                 src_pte----------&gt; data page
                                        ^
  other---------&gt;pmd--------------------|
                  ^
  child-----------|
                 dst_pte

For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other.  This is
possible due to the following style of race.

  PROC A                                          PROC B
  copy_hugetlb_page_range                         copy_hugetlb_page_range
    src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset
    !src_pte so no sharing                          !src_pte so no sharing

  (time passes)

  hugetlb_fault                                   hugetlb_fault
    huge_pte_alloc                                  huge_pte_alloc
      huge_pmd_share                                 huge_pmd_share
        LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
        find nothing, no sharing
        UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      find nothing, no sharing
                                                      UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
      pmd_alloc                                       pmd_alloc
      LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
      fault
      UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  fault
                                                  UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed.  When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.

This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd.  This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.

Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

  collected up patches that have been posted to the linux-alpha mailing
  list over the last couple of months, and are forwarding them to you in
  the hope that you are prepared to accept them via me.

  The patches by Al Viro and myself I have been running against kernels
  for two months now so have had quite a bit of testing.  All except one
  patch were intended for the 3.5 kernel but because of Matt's
  unavailability never got forwarded to you."

Merge alpha architecture update from Michael Cree:
 "The Alpha Maintainer, Matt Turner, is currently unavailable, so I have
  collected up patches that have been posted to the linux-alpha mailing
  list over the last couple of months, and are forwarding them to you in
  the hope that you are prepared to accept them via me.

  The patches by Al Viro and myself I have been running against kernels
  for two months now so have had quite a bit of testing.  All except one
  patch were intended for the 3.5 kernel but because of Matt's
  unavailability never got forwarded to you."

Commit ec2212088c42 ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for Alpha") removed
asm/system.h however arch/alpha/oprofile/common.c requires definitions
that were shifted from asm/system.h to asm/special_insns.h.  Include
that.

The following build error occurred during an alpha build:

  net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
&gt; Here is the line in sock.i:
&gt;
&gt; struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
&gt; ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

After commit ec2212088c42 ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for Alpha"), the
fpu.h header which we install for userland started depending on
special_insns.h which is not installed.

However, fpu.h only uses that for __KERNEL__ code, so protect the
inclusion the same way to avoid build breakage in glibc:

  /usr/include/asm/fpu.h:4:31: fatal error: asm/special_insns.h: No such file or directory
