Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.7 09/11] fs: improve dump_mapping() robustness

From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@...ux.alibaba.com>

[ Upstream commit 8b3d838139bcd1e552f1899191f734264ce2a1a5 ]

We met a kernel crash issue when running stress-ng testing, and the
system crashes when printing the dentry name in dump_mapping().

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
pc : dentry_name+0xd8/0x224
lr : pointer+0x22c/0x370

  ......

The root cause is that, one thread is doing page migration, and we will
use the target page's ->mapping field to save 'anon_vma' pointer between
page unmap and page move, and now the target page is locked and refcount
is 1.

Currently, there is another stress-ng thread performing memory hotplug,
attempting to offline the target page that is being migrated. It discovers
that the refcount of this target page is 1, preventing the offline operation,
thus proceeding to dump the page. However, page_mapping() of the target
page may return an incorrect file mapping to crash the system in dump_mapping(),
since the target page->mapping only saves 'anon_vma' pointer without setting
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag.

The page migration issue has been fixed by commit d1adb25df711 ("mm: migrate:
fix getting incorrect page mapping during page migration"). In addition,
Matthew suggested we should also improve dump_mapping()'s robustness to
resilient against the kernel crash [1].

With checking the 'dentry.parent' and 'dentry.d_name.name' used by
dentry_name(), I can see dump_mapping() will output the invalid dentry
instead of crashing the system when this issue is reproduced again.
