Subject: [PATCH 5/8] mm, gup: ensure real head page is ref-counted when using hugepages

From: Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@....com>

commit d63206ee32b6e64b0e12d46e5d6004afd9913713 upstream.

When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using
page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the
page returned by pmd_page() is the head page.  Although normally true,
this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive
page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or
PMD levels.

This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to
page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the
head page within the function.

We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with
page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate
page, i.e., the de-referenced head.

Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.
