mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa clearing
THP migration uses the page lock to guard against parallel allocations
but there are cases like this still open
Task A Task B
--------------------- ---------------------
do_huge_pmd_numa_page do_huge_pmd_numa_page
lock_page
mpol_misplaced == -1
unlock_page
goto clear_pmdnuma
lock_page
mpol_misplaced == 2
migrate_misplaced_transhuge
pmd = pmd_mknonnuma
set_pmd_at
During hours of testing, one crashed with weird errors and while I have
no direct evidence, I suspect something like the race above happened.
This patch extends the page lock to being held until the pmd_numa is
cleared to prevent migration starting in parallel while the pmd_numa is
being cleared. It also flushes the old pmd entry and orders pagetable
insertion before rmap insertion.
