Mina Almasry 8cc5fcbb5b mm, hugetlb: fix racy resv_huge_pages underflow on UFFDIO_COPY
On UFFDIO_COPY, if we fail to copy the page contents while holding the
hugetlb_fault_mutex, we will drop the mutex and return to the caller after
allocating a page that consumed a reservation.  In this case there may be
a fault that double consumes the reservation.  To handle this, we free the
allocated page, fix the reservations, and allocate a temporary hugetlb
page and return that to the caller.  When the caller does the copy outside
of the lock, we again check the cache, and allocate a page consuming the
reservation, and copy over the contents.

Test:
Hacked the code locally such that resv_huge_pages underflows produce
a warning and the copy_huge_page_from_user() always fails, then:

./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb_shared 10
        2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success
./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb 10
	2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success

Both tests succeed and produce no warnings. After the
test runs number of free/resv hugepages is correct.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
