mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP collapse
Since general RCU GUP fast was introduced in commit 2667f50e ("mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()"), a TLB flush is no longer sufficient to handle concurrent GUP-fast in all cases, it only handles traditional IPI-based GUP-fast correctly. On architectures that send an IPI broadcast on TLB flush, it works as expected. But on the architectures that do not use IPI to broadcast TLB flush, it may have the below race: CPU A CPU B THP collapse fast GUP gup_pmd_range() <-- see valid pmd gup_pte_range() <-- work on pte pmdp_collapse_flush() <-- clear pmd and flush __collapse_huge_page_isolate() check page pinned <-- before GUP bump refcount pin the page check PTE <-- no change __collapse_huge_page_copy() copy data to huge page ptep_clear() install huge pmd for the huge page return the stale page discard the stale page The race can be fixed by checking whether PMD is changed or not after taking the page pin in fast GUP, just like what it does for PTE. If the PMD is changed it means there may be parallel THP collapse, so GUP should back off. Also update the stale comment about serializing against fast GUP in khugepaged.
