mm/thp: try_to_unmap() use TTU_SYNC for safe splitting
Stressing huge tmpfs often crashed on unmap_page()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE (!unmap_success): with dump_page() showing mapcount:1, but then its raw struct page output showing _mapcount ffffffff i.e. mapcount 0. And even if that particular VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!unmap_success) is removed, it is immediately followed by a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_mapcount(head)), and further down an IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) total_mapcount BUG(): all indicative of some mapcount difficulty in development here perhaps. But the !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM path handles the failures correctly and silently. I believe the problem is that once a racing unmap has cleared pte or pmd, try_to_unmap_one() may skip taking the page table lock, and emerge from try_to_unmap() before the racing task has reached decrementing mapcount. Instead of abandoning the unsafe VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), and the ones that follow, use PVMW_SYNC in try_to_unmap_one() in this case: adding TTU_SYNC to the options, and passing that from unmap_page(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or for non-debug too? Consensus is to do the same for both: the slight overhead added should rarely matter, except perhaps if splitting sparsely-populated multiply-mapped shmem. Once confident that bugs are fixed, TTU_SYNC here can be removed, and the race tolerated.
