commit 8977752c8056a6a094a279004a49722da15bace3 upstream.
Patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)", v2.
Discussing the PageTail() call in make_device_exclusive_range() with Willy, I recently discovered [1] that device-exclusive handling does not properly work with THP, making the hmm-tests selftests fail if THPs are enabled on the system.
Looking into more details, I found that hugetlb is not properly fenced, and I realized that something that was bugging me for longer -- how device-exclusive entries interact with mapcounts -- completely breaks migration/swapout/split/hwpoison handling of these folios while they have device-exclusive PTEs.
The program below can be used to allocate 1 GiB worth of pages and making them device-exclusive on a kernel with CONFIG_TEST_HMM.
Once they are device-exclusive, these folios cannot get swapped out (proc$pid/smaps_rollup will always indicate 1 GiB RSS no matter how much one forces memory reclaim), and when having a memory block onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE, trying to offline it will loop forever and complain about failed migration of a page that should be movable.

This series fixes all issues I found so far. There is no easy way to fix without a bigger rework/cleanup. I have a bunch of cleanups on top (some previous sent, some the result of the discussion in v1) that I will send out separately once this landed and I get to it.
I wish we could just use some special present PROT_NONE PTEs instead of these (non-present, non-none) fake-swap entries; but that just results in the same problem we keep having (lack of spare PTE bits), and staring at other similar fake-swap entries, that ship has sailed.
With this series, make_device_exclusive() doesn't actually belong into mm/rmap.c anymore, but I'll leave moving that for another day.
I only tested this series with the hmm-tests selftests due to lack of HW, so I'd appreciate some testing, especially if the interaction between two GPUs wanting a device-exclusive entry works as expected.

This patch (of 17):
We only have two FOLL_SPLIT_PMD users. While uprobe refuses hugetlb early, make_device_exclusive_range() can end up getting called on hugetlb VMAs.
Right now, this means that with a PMD-sized hugetlb page, we can end up calling split_huge_pmd(), because pmd_trans_huge() also succeeds with hugetlb PMDs.
For example, using a modified hmm-test selftest one can trigger:

Before commit 9cb28da54643 ("mm/gup: handle hugetlb in the generic follow_page_mask code"), we would have ignored the flag; instead, let's simply refuse the combination completely in check_vma_flags(): the caller is likely not prepared to handle any hugetlb folios.
We'll teach make_device_exclusive_range() separately to ignore any hugetlb folios as a future-proof safety net.
