hugetlb: don't delete vma_lock in hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED processing
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) ends up calling zap_page_range() to clear page
tables associated with the address range. For hugetlb vmas,
zap_page_range will call __unmap_hugepage_range_final. However,
__unmap_hugepage_range_final assumes the passed vma is about to be removed
and deletes the vma_lock to prevent pmd sharing as the vma is on the way
out. In the case of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the vma remains, but the
missing vma_lock prevents pmd sharing and could potentially lead to issues
with truncation/fault races.
This issue was originally reported here [1] as a BUG triggered in
page_try_dup_anon_rmap. Prior to the introduction of the hugetlb
vma_lock, __unmap_hugepage_range_final cleared the VM_MAYSHARE flag to
prevent pmd sharing. Subsequent faults on this vma were confused as
VM_MAYSHARE indicates a sharable vma, but was not set so page_mapping was
not set in new pages added to the page table. This resulted in pages that
appeared anonymous in a VM_SHARED vma and triggered the BUG.
Address issue by adding a new zap flag ZAP_FLAG_UNMAP to indicate an unmap
call from unmap_vmas(). This is used to indicate the 'final' unmapping of
a hugetlb vma. When called via MADV_DONTNEED, this flag is not set and
the vm_lock is not deleted.
