commit119a5fc161upstream. When retract_page_tables() removes a page table to make way for a huge pmd, it holds huge page lock, i_mmap_lock_write, mmap_write_trylock and pmd lock; but when collapse_pte_mapped_thp() does the same (to handle the case when the original mmap_write_trylock had failed), only mmap_write_trylock and pmd lock are held. That's not enough. One machine has twice crashed under load, with "BUG: spinlock bad magic" and GPF on 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b. Examining the second crash, page_vma_mapped_walk_done()'s spin_unlock of pvmw->ptl (serving page_referenced() on a file THP, that had found a page table at *pmd) discovers that the page table page and its lock have already been freed by the time it comes to unlock. Follow the example of retract_page_tables(), but we only need one of huge page lock or i_mmap_lock_write to secure against this: because it's the narrower lock, and because it simplifies collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to know the hpage earlier, choose to rely on huge page lock here.

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.
