From c86aa7bbfd5568ba8a82d3635d8f7b8a8e06fe54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Kravetz Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 00:39:42 -0800 Subject: hugetlbfs: Use i_mmap_rwsem to fix page fault/truncate race hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncate and hole punch operations. Current code in the page fault path attempts to handle this by 'backing out' operations if we encounter the race. One obvious omission in the current code is removing a page newly added to the page cache. This is pretty straight forward to address, but there is a more subtle and difficult issue of backing out hugetlb reservations. To handle this correctly, the 'reservation state' before page allocation needs to be noted so that it can be properly backed out. There are four distinct possibilities for reservation state: shared/reserved, shared/no-resv, private/reserved and private/no-resv. Backing out a reservation may require memory allocation which could fail so that needs to be taken into account as well. Instead of writing the required complicated code for this rare occurrence, just eliminate the race. i_mmap_rwsem is now held in read mode for the duration of page fault processing. Hold i_mmap_rwsem longer in truncation and hold punch code to cover the call to remove_inode_hugepages. With this modification, code in remove_inode_hugepages checking for races becomes 'dead' as it can not longer happen. Remove the dead code and expand comments to explain reasoning. Similarly, checks for races with truncation in the page fault path can be simplified and removed.
