[ Upstream commit 517f496e1e61bd169d585dab4dd77e7147506322 ]
After commit 1aaf8c122918 ("mm: gup: fix infinite loop within
__get_longterm_locked") we are able to longterm pin folios that are not
supposed to get longterm pinned, simply because they temporarily have the
LRU flag cleared (esp. temporarily isolated).
For example, two __get_longterm_locked() callers can race, or
__get_longterm_locked() can race with anything else that temporarily
isolates folios.
The introducing commit mentions the use case of a driver that uses
vm_ops->fault to insert pages allocated through cma_alloc() into the page
tables, assuming they can later get longterm pinned. These pages/ folios
would never have the LRU flag set and consequently cannot get isolated.
There is no known in-tree user making use of that so far, fortunately.
To handle that in the future -- and avoid retrying forever to
isolate/migrate them -- we will need a different mechanism for the CMA
area *owner* to indicate that it actually already allocated the page and
is fine with longterm pinning it. The LRU flag is not suitable for that.
Probably we can lookup the relevant CMA area and query the bitmap; we only
have have to care about some races, probably. If already allocated, we
could just allow longterm pinning)
Anyhow, let's fix the "must not be longterm pinned" problem first by
reverting the original commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
