From: Shijie Luo luoshijie1@huawei.com Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2020 17:07:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: mempolicy: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error
When flags in queue_pages_pte_range don't have MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL bits, code breaks and passing origin pte - 1 to pte_unmap_unlock seems like not a good idea.
queue_pages_pte_range can run in MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL mode which doesn't migrate misplaced pages but returns with EIO when encountering such a page. Since commit a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified") and early break on the first pte in the range results in pte_unmap_unlock on an underflow pte. This can lead to lockups later on when somebody tries to lock the pte resp. page_table_lock again..
