Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] 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.
