This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mm: hugetlb: call huge_pte_alloc() only if ptep is null to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt23. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 53effc01815b74d5969c11ca10c5ee7894e1d95a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:40:49 -0800 Subject: mm: hugetlb: call huge_pte_alloc() only if ptep is null commit 0d777df5d8953293be090d9ab5a355db893e8357 upstream. Currently at the beginning of hugetlb_fault(), we call huge_pte_offset() and check whether the obtained *ptep is a migration/hwpoison entry or not. And if not, then we get to call huge_pte_alloc(). This is racy because the *ptep could turn into migration/hwpoison entry after the huge_pte_offset() check. This race results in BUG_ON in huge_pte_alloc(). We don't have to call huge_pte_alloc() when the huge_pte_offset() returns non-NULL, so let's fix this bug with moving the code into else block. Note that the *ptep could turn into a migration/hwpoison entry after this block, but that's not a problem because we have another !pte_present check later (we never go into hugetlb_no_page() in that case.)
