mm/mprotect: delete pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge()
commit
670ddd8cdcbd1d07a4571266ae3517f821728c3a upstream.
change_pmd_range() had special pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge(),
required to avoid "bad" choices when setting automatic NUMA hinting under
mmap_read_lock(); but most of that is already covered in pte_offset_map()
now. change_pmd_range() just wants a pmd_none() check before wasting time
on MMU notifiers, then checks on the read-once _pmd value to work out
what's needed for huge cases. If change_pte_range() returns -EAGAIN to
retry if pte_offset_map_lock() fails, nothing more special is needed.

This is due to a race condition between change_prot_numa() and
THP migration because the kernel doesn't check is_swap_pmd() and
pmd_trans_huge() atomically:
change_prot_numa() THP migration
======================================================================
- change_pmd_range()
-> is_swap_pmd() returns false,
meaning it's not a PMD migration
entry.
- do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
-> migrate_misplaced_page() sets
migration entries for the THP.
- change_pmd_range()
-> pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge()
-> pmd_none() and pmd_trans_huge() returns false
- pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge()
-> pmd_bad() returns true for the migration entry!
The upstream commit
670ddd8cdcbd ("mm/mprotect: delete
pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge()") closes this race condition
by checking is_swap_pmd() and pmd_trans_huge() atomically.
Backporting note:
Unlike the mainline, pte_offset_map_lock() does not check if the pmd
entry is a migration entry or a hugepage; acquires PTL unconditionally
instead of returning failure. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the
!is_swap_pmd() && !pmd_trans_huge() && !pmd_devmap() check before
acquiring the PTL.
After acquiring the lock, open-code the semantics of
pte_offset_map_lock() in the mainline kernel; change_pte_range() fails
if the pmd value has changed. This requires adding pmd_old parameter
(pmd_t value that is read before calling the function) to
change_pte_range(). ]
