Subject: [PATCH 4.12 18/41] mm: fix double mmap_sem unlock on MMF_UNSTABLE enforced SIGBUS

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

commit 5b53a6ea886700a128b697a6fe8375340dea2c30 upstream.

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that MMF_UNSTABLE SIGBUS path in
handle_mm_fault causes a lockdep splat

  Out of memory: Kill process 1056 (a.out) score 603 or sacrifice child
  Killed process 1056 (a.out) total-vm:4268108kB, anon-rss:2246048kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
  a.out (1169) used greatest stack depth: 11664 bytes left
  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(depth <= 0)
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 1339 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3617 lock_release+0x172/0x1e0
  CPU: 6 PID: 1339 Comm: a.out Not tainted 4.13.0-rc3-next-20170803+ #142
  Hardware name: VMware, Inc. VMware Virtual Platform/440BX Desktop Reference Platform, BIOS 6.00 07/02/2015
  RIP: 0010:lock_release+0x172/0x1e0
  Call Trace:
     up_read+0x1a/0x40
     __do_page_fault+0x28e/0x4c0
     do_page_fault+0x30/0x80
     page_fault+0x28/0x30

The reason is that the page fault path might have dropped the mmap_sem
and returned with VM_FAULT_RETRY.  MMF_UNSTABLE check however rewrites
the error path to VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and we always expect mmap_sem taken in
that path.  Fix this by taking mmap_sem when VM_FAULT_RETRY is held in
the MMF_UNSTABLE path.

We cannot simply add VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to the existing error code because
all arch specific page fault handlers and g-u-p would have to learn a
new error code combination.
