Patch series "hugetlb: fixes for new vma lock series". In review of the series "hugetlb: Use new vma lock for huge pmd sharing synchronization", Miaohe Lin pointed out two key issues: 1) There is a race in the routine hugetlb_unmap_file_folio when locks are dropped and reacquired in the correct order [1]. 2) With the switch to using vma lock for fault/truncate synchronization, we need to make sure lock exists for all VM_MAYSHARE vmas, not just vmas capable of pmd sharing. These two issues are addressed here. In addition, having a vma lock present in all VM_MAYSHARE vmas, uncovered some issues around vma splitting. Those are also addressed. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/01f10195-7088-4462-6def-909549c75ef4@huawei.com/ This patch (of 3): The hugetlb vma lock hangs off the vm_private_data field and is specific to the vma. When vm_area_dup() is called as part of vma splitting, the vma lock pointer is copied to the new vma. This will result in issues such as double freeing of the structure. Update the hugetlb open vm_ops to allocate a new vma lock for the new vma. The routine __unmap_hugepage_range_final unconditionally unset VM_MAYSHARE to prevent subsequent pmd sharing. hugetlb_vma_lock_free attempted to anticipate this by checking both VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED. However, if only VM_MAYSHARE was set we would miss the free. With the introduction of the vma lock, a vma can not participate in pmd sharing if vm_private_data is NULL. Instead of clearing VM_MAYSHARE in __unmap_hugepage_range_final, free the vma lock to prevent sharing. Also, update the sharing code to make sure vma lock is indeed a condition for pmd sharing. hugetlb_vma_lock_free can then key off VM_MAYSHARE and not miss any vmas.

README
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.
