[ Upstream commit e1b98fa316648420d0434d9ff5b92ad6609ba6c3 ]
LTP mtest06 has been observed to occasionally hit "still mapped when deleted" and following BUG_ON on arm64.
The extra mapcount originated from pagefault handler, which handled pagefault for vma that has already been detached. vma is detached under mmap_sem write lock by detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(), which also invalidates vmacache.
When the pagefault handler (under mmap_sem read lock) calls find_vma(), vmacache_valid() wrongly reports vmacache as valid.
After rwsem down_read() returns via 'queue empty' path (as of v5.2), it does so without an ACQUIRE on sem->count:
down_read() __down_read() rwsem_down_read_failed() __rwsem_down_read_failed_common() raw_spin_lock_irq(&sem->wait_lock); if (list_empty(&sem->wait_list)) { if (atomic_long_read(&sem->count) >= 0) { raw_spin_unlock_irq(&sem->wait_lock); return sem;
The problem can be reproduced by running LTP mtest06 in a loop and building the kernel (-j $NCPUS) in parallel. It does reproduces since v4.20 on arm64 HPE Apollo 70 (224 CPUs, 256GB RAM, 2 nodes). It triggers reliably in about an hour.
The patched kernel ran fine for 10+ hours.
