Hugh Dickins diagnosed this as a migration bug caused by code introduced
to use i_mmap_rwsem for pmd sharing synchronization. Specifically, the
routine unmap_and_move_huge_page() is always passing the TTU_RMAP_LOCKED
flag to try_to_unmap() while holding i_mmap_rwsem. This is wrong for
anon pages as the anon_vma_lock should be held in this case. Further
analysis suggested that i_mmap_rwsem was not required to he held at all
when calling try_to_unmap for anon pages as an anon page could never be
part of a shared pmd mapping.
Discussion also revealed that the hack in hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write
to drop page lock and acquire i_mmap_rwsem is wrong. There is no way to
keep mapping valid while dropping page lock.
This patch does the following:
- Do not take i_mmap_rwsem and set TTU_RMAP_LOCKED for anon pages when
calling try_to_unmap.
- Remove the hacky code in hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write. The routine
will now simply do a 'trylock' while still holding the page lock. If
the trylock fails, it will return NULL. This could impact the
callers:
- migration calling code will receive -EAGAIN and retry up to the
hard coded limit (10).
- memory error code will treat the page as BUSY. This will force
killing (SIGKILL) instead of SIGBUS any mapping tasks.
Do note that this change in behavior only happens when there is a
race. None of the standard kernel testing suites actually hit this
race, but it is possible.

Ask the page what size it is instead of assuming it's PMD size. Do this
for anon pages as well as file pages for when someone decides to support
that. Leave the assumption alone for pages which are PMD mapped; we don't
currently grow THPs beyond PMD size, so we don't need to change this code

During memory migration a pte is temporarily replaced with a migration
swap pte. Some pte bits from the existing mapping such as the soft-dirty
and uffd write-protect bits are preserved by copying these to the
temporary migration swap pte.
However these bits are not stored at the same location for swap and
non-swap ptes. Therefore testing these bits requires using the
appropriate helper function for the given pte type.
Unfortunately several code locations were found where the wrong helper
function is being used to test soft_dirty and uffd_wp bits which leads to
them getting incorrectly set or cleared during page-migration.
Fix these by using the correct tests based on pte type.

Commit c0d0381ade ("hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing
synchronization") requires callers of huge_pte_alloc to hold i_mmap_rwsem
in at least read mode. This is because the explicit locking in
huge_pmd_share (called by huge_pte_alloc) was removed. When restructuring
the code, the call to huge_pte_alloc in the else block at the beginning of
hugetlb_fault was missed.
Unfortunately, that else clause is exercised when there is no page table
entry. This will likely lead to a call to huge_pmd_share. If
huge_pmd_share thinks pmd sharing is possible, it will traverse the
mapping tree (i_mmap) without holding i_mmap_rwsem. If someone else is
modifying the tree, bad things such as addressing exceptions or worse
could happen.
Simply remove the else clause. It should have been removed previously.
The code following the else will call huge_pte_alloc with the appropriate
locking.
To prevent this type of issue in the future, add routines to assert that
i_mmap_rwsem is held, and call these routines in huge pmd sharing
routines.

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the
generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a
dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging,
so that page types can be told apart.
Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.
With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set
up at charge time. However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by
the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the
rmap callbacks around.

For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to
identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected. It plays a similar
role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping
the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD.
Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit
from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of
the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all.
In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry.
That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write
protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. This patch
also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

This reverts commit 4e4a9eb921 ("mm/rmap.c: reuse mergeable
anon_vma as parent when fork").
In dup_mmap(), anon_vma_fork() is called for attaching anon_vma and
parameter 'tmp' (i.e., the new vma of child) has same ->vm_next and
->vm_prev as its parent vma. That causes the anon_vma used by parent been
mistakenly shared by child (In anon_vma_clone(), the code added by that
commit will do this reuse work).
Besides this issue, the design of reusing anon_vma from vma which has gone
through fork should be avoided ([1]). So, this patch reverts that commit
and maintains the consistent logic of reusing anon_vma for
fork/split/merge vma.
Reusing anon_vma within the process is fine. But if a vma has gone
through fork(), then that vma's anon_vma should not be shared with its
neighbor vma. As explained in [1], when vma gone through fork(), the
check for list_is_singular(vma->anon_vma_chain) will be false, and
don't share anon_vma.
With current issue, one example can clarify more. Parent process do
below two steps:
1. p_vma_1 is created and p_anon_vma_1 is prepared;
2. p_vma_2 is created and share p_anon_vma_1; (this is allowed,
becaues p_vma_1 didn't gothrough fork()); parent process do fork():
3. c_vma_1 is dup from p_vma_1, and has its own c_anon_vma_1
prepared; at this point, c_vma_1->anon_vma_chain has two items, one
for p_anon_vma_1 and one for c_anon_vma_1;
4. c_vma_2 is dup from p_vma_2, it is not allowed to share
c_anon_vma_1, because
c_vma_1->anon_vma_chain has two items.
[1] commit d0e9fe1758 ("Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for
anon_vma_prepare()") explains the test of "list_is_singular()".

Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more synchronization", v2.
While discussing the issue with huge_pte_offset [1], I remembered that
there were more outstanding hugetlb races. These issues are:
1) For shared pmds, huge PTE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
reserve counts and state.
A previous attempt was made to use i_mmap_rwsem in this manner as
described at [2]. However, those patches were reverted starting with [3]
due to locking issues.
To effectively use i_mmap_rwsem to address the above issues it needs to be
held (in read mode) during page fault processing. However, during fault
processing we need to lock the page we will be adding. Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem. Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.
To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages. This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places. However, I don't
really like this idea. Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.
The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races. After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ... etc,
as needed. This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations. At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races. Any other
suggestions would be welcome.

This patch (of 2):
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table. Consider the following:
A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.
Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.
To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers
of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with
the ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.
One problem with this scheme is that it requires taking i_mmap_rwsem
before taking the page lock during page faults. This is not the order
specified in the rest of mm code. Handling of hugetlbfs pages is mostly
isolated today. Therefore, we use this alternative locking order for
PageHuge() pages.
mapping->i_mmap_rwsem
hugetlb_fault_mutex (hugetlbfs specific page fault mutex)
page->flags PG_locked (lock_page)
To help with lock ordering issues, hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() is
introduced to write lock the i_mmap_rwsem associated with a page.
In most cases it is easy to get address_space via vma->vm_file->f_mapping.
However, in the case of migration or memory errors for anon pages we do
not have an associated vma. A new routine _get_hugetlb_page_mapping()
will use anon_vma to get address_space in these cases.

For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS
scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head
page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number
of huge pages that can be pinned.
This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting
for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this
approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1
compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there.
A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing
a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).
This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

In __anon_vma_prepare(), we will try to find anon_vma if it is possible to
reuse it. While on fork, the logic is different.
Since commit 5beb493052 ("mm: change anon_vma linking to fix
multi-process server scalability issue"), function anon_vma_clone() tries
to allocate new anon_vma for child process. But the logic here will
allocate a new anon_vma for each vma, even in parent this vma is mergeable
and share the same anon_vma with its sibling. This may do better for
scalability issue, while it is not necessary to do so especially after
interval tree is used.
Commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy")
tries to reuse some anon_vma by counting child anon_vma and attached vmas.
While for those mergeable anon_vmas, we can just reuse it and not
necessary to go through the logic.
After this change, kernel build test reduces 20% anon_vma allocation.
Do the same kernel build test, it shows run time in sys reduced 11.6%.

Before commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma
hierarchy"), anon_vma_clone() doesn't change dst->anon_vma. While after
this commit, anon_vma_clone() will try to reuse an exist one on forking.
But this commit go a little bit further for the case not forking.
anon_vma_clone() is called from __vma_split(), __split_vma(), copy_vma()
and anon_vma_fork(). For the first three places, the purpose here is
get a copy of src and we don't expect to touch dst->anon_vma even it is
NULL.
While after that commit, it is possible to reuse an anon_vma when
dst->anon_vma is NULL. This is not we intend to have.
This patch stops reuse of anon_vma for non-fork cases.

This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem
filesystems.
This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP
via madvise, for example:
madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs.
Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only
process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests
(see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is
execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections.
The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all
the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped.
An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this
feature.

When migrating an anonymous private page to a ZONE_DEVICE private page,
the source page->mapping and page->index fields are copied to the
destination ZONE_DEVICE struct page and the page_mapcount() is
increased. This is so rmap_walk() can be used to unmap and migrate the
page back to system memory.
However, try_to_unmap_one() computes the subpage pointer from a swap pte
which computes an invalid page pointer and a kernel panic results such
as:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffea1fffffffc8
Currently, only single pages can be migrated to device private memory so
no subpage computation is needed and it can be set to "page".

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).
Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual
address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.
This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
inspect the new vma page protection.
The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
events for each call.
This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
as it uses this following coccinelle patch:

MADV_DONTNEED is handled with mmap_sem taken in read mode. We call
page_mkclean without holding mmap_sem.
MADV_DONTNEED implies that pages in the region are unmapped and subsequent
access to the pages in that range is handled as a new page fault. This
implies that if we don't have parallel access to the region when
MADV_DONTNEED is run we expect those range to be unallocated.
w.r.t page_mkclean() we need to make sure that we don't break the
MADV_DONTNEED semantics. MADV_DONTNEED check for pmd_none without holding
pmd_lock. This implies we skip the pmd if we temporarily mark pmd none.
Avoid doing that while marking the page clean.
Keep the sequence same for dax too even though we don't support
MADV_DONTNEED for dax mapping
The bug was noticed by code review and I didn't observe any failures w.r.t
test run. This is similar to

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))
Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock
Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

The conversion to use a structure for mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_*()
unintentionally changed the usage in try_to_unmap_one() to init the
'struct mmu_notifier_range' with vma->vm_start instead of @address,
i.e. it invalidates the wrong address range. Revert to the correct
address range.
Manifests as KVM use-after-free WARNINGs and subsequent "BUG: Bad page

The purpose of the reverted patch was to fix some long existing races
with huge pmd sharing. It used i_mmap_rwsem for this purpose with the
idea that this could also be used to address truncate/page fault races
with another patch. Further analysis has determined that i_mmap_rwsem
can not be used to address all these hugetlbfs synchronization issues.
Therefore, revert this patch while working an another approach to the
underlying issues.

While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table. Consider the following:
A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.
Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.
To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers
of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with the
ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is
called.

The term "freeze" is used in several ways in the kernel, and in mm it
has the particular meaning of forcing page refcount temporarily to 0.
freeze_page() is just too confusing a name for a function that unmaps a
page: rename it unmap_page(), and rename unfreeze_page() remap_page().
Went to change the mention of freeze_page() added later in mm/rmap.c,
but found it to be incorrect: ordinary page reclaim reaches there too;
but the substance of the comment still seems correct, so edit it down.

The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the source
page. This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all vmas where the
page is mapped. This search stops when page mapcount is zero. For shared
PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1 no matter the number of
mappings. Shared mappings are tracked via the reference count of the PMD
page. Therefore, try_to_unmap stops prematurely and does not completely
unmap all mappings of the source page.
This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original
source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the target
page. Hence, data is lost.
This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global areas
after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors. DB
developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug) offlining
memory used to back huge pages. A simple testcase can reproduce the
problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that this must be at least
PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on x86)), and using
migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between nodes while continually
writing to the huge pages being migrated.
To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing by
calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages. If it is a shared
mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table entry and drops
the reference on the PMD page. After this, flush caches and TLB.
mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not be
sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked. Therefore, check for
the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that notifiers can
prepare for the worst possible case.

KVM guests on s390 can notify the host of unused pages. This can result
in pte_unused callbacks to be true for KVM guest memory.
If a page is unused (checked with pte_unused) we might drop this page
instead of paging it. This can have side-effects on userfaultd, when
the page in question was already migrated:
The next access of that page will trigger a fault and a user fault
instead of faulting in a new and empty zero page. As QEMU does not
expect a userfault on an already migrated page this migration will fail.
The most straightforward solution is to ignore the pte_unused hint if a
userfault context is active for this VMA.

Merge tag 'v4.17-rc2' into docs-next
Merge -rc2 to pick up the changes to
Documentation/core-api/kernel-api.rst that hit mainline via the
networking tree. In their absence, subsequent patches cannot be
applied.
My testing for the latest kernel supporting thp migration showed an
infinite loop in offlining the memory block that is filled with shmem
thps. We can get out of the loop with a signal, but kernel should return
with failure in this case.
What happens in the loop is that scan_movable_pages() repeats returning
the same pfn without any progress. That's because page migration always
fails for shmem thps.
In memory offline code, memory blocks containing unmovable pages should be
prevented from being offline targets by has_unmovable_pages() inside
start_isolate_page_range(). So it's possible to change migratability for
non-anonymous thps to avoid the issue, but it introduces more complex and
thp-specific handling in migration code, so it might not good.
So this patch is suggesting to fix the issue by enabling thp migration for
shmem thp. Both of anon/shmem thp are migratable so we don't need
precheck about the type of thps.

If a processor supports special metadata for a page, for example ADI

back in. This patch adds two new architecture specific functions -
arch_do_swap_page() to be called when a page is swapped in, and
arch_unmap_one() to be called when a page is being unmapped for swap
out. These architecture hooks allow page metadata to be saved if the

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.
The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page
should be more obvious.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback
which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ...
and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected
by it.
When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under
the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary
in all cases.
This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all
those cases explaining why.
Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this:
For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when
device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page
table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases
when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table
lock when clearing a pte/pmd:
A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault
on zero page, __replace_page(), ...)
Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write
to a page that might now be used by something completely different.
Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence
to happen:
- take page table lock
- clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify())
- set page table entry to point to new page
If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting
the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for
the device.
Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/
PASID):
Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we
assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too).
[Time N] -----------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA}
CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB}
[Time N+1] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+2] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+4] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+5] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page}
So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a
notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value
for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory
ordering for the device.
When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected
page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This
is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right
after releasing page table lock before calling
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.
