mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock during protection changes
Sasha reported the following bug using trinity kernel BUG at mm/mprotect.c:149! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: CPU: 20 PID: 26219 Comm: trinity-c216 Tainted: G W 3.14.0-rc5-next-20140305-sasha-00011-ge06f5f3-dirty #105 task: ffff8800b6c80000 ti: ffff880228436000 task.ti: ffff880228436000 RIP: change_protection_range+0x3b3/0x500 Call Trace: change_protection+0x25/0x30 change_prot_numa+0x1b/0x30 task_numa_work+0x279/0x360 task_work_run+0xae/0xf0 do_notify_resume+0x8e/0xe0 retint_signal+0x4d/0x92 The VM_BUG_ON was added in -mm by the patch "mm,numa: reorganize change_pmd_range". The race existed without the patch but was just harder to hit. The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL. It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check. This patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a race occurred. It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold mmap_sem for write.
