From: David Hildenbrand david@redhat.com
commit 5805192c7b7257d290474cb1a3897d0567281bbc upstream.
In contrast to most other GUP code, GUP-fast common page table walking code like gup_pte_range() also handles hugetlb pages. But in contrast to other hugetlb page table walking code, it does not look at the hugetlb PTE abstraction whereby we have only a single logical hugetlb PTE per hugetlb page, even when using multiple cont-PTEs underneath -- which is for example what huge_ptep_get() abstracts.
So when we have a hugetlb page that is mapped via cont-PTEs, GUP-fast might stumble over a PTE that does not map the head page of a hugetlb page -- not the first "head" PTE of such a cont mapping.
Logically, the whole hugetlb page is mapped (entire_mapcount == 1), but we might end up calling gup_must_unshare() with a tail page of a hugetlb page.
We only maintain a single PageAnonExclusive flag per hugetlb page (as hugetlb pages cannot get partially COW-shared), stored for the head page. That flag is clear for all tail pages.
So when gup_must_unshare() ends up calling PageAnonExclusive() with a tail page of a hugetlb page:
1) With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS
Stumbles over the:
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PageHuge(page) && !PageHead(page), page);
For example, when executing the COW selftests with 64k hugetlb pages on arm64:

2) Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS
Always detects "not exclusive" for passed tail pages and refuses to PIN the tail pages R/O, as gup_must_unshare() == true. GUP-fast will fallback to ordinary GUP. As ordinary GUP properly considers the logical hugetlb PTE abstraction in hugetlb_follow_page_mask(), pinning the page will succeed when looking at the PageAnonExclusive on the head page only.
So the only real effect of this is that with cont-PTE hugetlb pages, we'll always fallback from GUP-fast to ordinary GUP when not working on the head page, which ends up checking the head page and do the right thing.
Consequently, the cow selftests pass with cont-PTE hugetlb pages as well without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS.
Note that this only applies to anon hugetlb pages that are mapped using cont-PTEs: for example 64k hugetlb pages on a 4k arm64 kernel.
... and only when R/O-pinning (FOLL_PIN) such pages that are mapped into the page table R/O using GUP-fast.
On production kernels (and even most debug kernels, that don't set CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS) this patch should theoretically not be required to be backported. But of course, it does not hurt.
