[LTP] [bug] problems with migration of huge pages with v4.20-10214-ge1ef035d272e

[Jan Stancek]

Hi,

LTP move_pages12 [1] started failing recently.

The test maps/unmaps some anonymous private huge pages
and migrates them between 2 nodes. This now reliably
hits NULL ptr deref:

Suspected commit is:
  b43a99900559 ("hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization")
which adds to unmap_and_move_huge_page():
+               struct address_space *mapping = page_mapping(hpage);
+
+               /*
+                * try_to_unmap could potentially call huge_pmd_unshare.
+                * Because of this, take semaphore in write mode here and
+                * set TTU_RMAP_LOCKED to let lower levels know we have
+                * taken the lock.
+                */
+               i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);

If I'm reading this right, 'mapping' will be NULL for anon mappings.

Running same test with s/MAP_PRIVATE/MAP_SHARED/ leads to user-space
hanging at:
