Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] hugepages: Fix race between hugetlbfs umount and quota
 update.

This patch fixes a use-after-free problem in free_huge_page, with a quota update
happening after hugetlbfs umount. The problem results when a device driver,
which has mapped a hugepage, does a put_page. Put_page, calls free_huge_page,
which does a hugetlb_put_quota. As written, hugetlb_put_quota takes an
address_space struct pointer "mapping" as an argument. If the put_page occurs
after the hugetlbfs filesystem is unmounted, mapping points to freed memory.

Hugetlb_put_quota doesn't need the address_space pointer, it only uses it to
find the quota-record. Rather than an address-space struct pointer, this patched
code puts a hugetlbfs_sb_info struct pointer into page_private of the page
struct. In order to prevent the quota record from being freed at unmount, a
reference count and an active bit are added to the hugetlbfs_sb_info struct; the
reference count is increased by hugetlb_get_quota and decreased by
hugetlb_put_quota. When hugetlbfs is unmounted, it frees the hugetlbfs_sb_info
struct, but only if the reference count is zero. If the reference count is not
zero, it clears the active bit, and the last hugetlb_put_quota then frees the
hugetlbfs_sb_info struct.

Discussion was titled:  Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs quota handling.
See:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28
See also: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1

Version 2: Adding better description of how the race happens, removing
unnecessary inode->i_mapping->host->i_sb indirection when inode->i_sb has the
same meaning.
