Subject: [PATCH v11 12/26] mm: protect SPF handler against anon_vma changes
Date:   Thu, 17 May 2018 13:06:19 +0200

Message-Id: <1526555193-7242-13-git-send-email-ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The speculative page fault handler must be protected against anon_vma
changes. This is because page_add_new_anon_rmap() is called during the
speculative path.

In addition, don't try speculative page fault if the VMA don't have an
anon_vma structure allocated because its allocation should be
protected by the mmap_sem.

In __vma_adjust() when importer->anon_vma is set, there is no need to
protect against speculative page faults since speculative page fault
is aborted if the vma->anon_vma is not set.

When calling page_add_new_anon_rmap() vma->anon_vma is necessarily
valid since we checked for it when locking the pte and the anon_vma is
removed once the pte is unlocked. So even if the speculative page
fault handler is running concurrently with do_unmap(), as the pte is
locked in unmap_region() - through unmap_vmas() - and the anon_vma
unlinked later, because we check for the vma sequence counter which is
updated in unmap_page_range() before locking the pte, and then in
free_pgtables() so when locking the pte the change will be detected.
