The new hugetlb vma lock is used to address this race:
Faulting thread Unsharing thread
... ...
ptep = huge_pte_offset()
or
ptep = huge_pte_alloc()
...
i_mmap_lock_write
lock page table
ptep invalid <------------------------ huge_pmd_unshare()
Could be in a previously unlock_page_table
sharing process or worse i_mmap_unlock_write
...
The vma_lock is used as follows:
- During fault processing. The lock is acquired in read mode before
doing a page table lock and allocation (huge_pte_alloc). The lock is
held until code is finished with the page table entry (ptep).
- The lock must be held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is
called.
Lock ordering issues come into play when unmapping a page from all
vmas mapping the page. The i_mmap_rwsem must be held to search for the
vmas, and the vma lock must be held before calling unmap which will
call huge_pmd_unshare. This is done today in:
- try_to_migrate_one and try_to_unmap_ for page migration and memory
error handling. In these routines we 'try' to obtain the vma lock and
fail to unmap if unsuccessful. Calling routines already deal with the
failure of unmapping.
- hugetlb_vmdelete_list for truncation and hole punch. This routine
also tries to acquire the vma lock. If it fails, it skips the
unmapping. However, we can not have file truncation or hole punch
fail because of contention. After hugetlb_vmdelete_list, truncation
and hole punch call remove_inode_hugepages. remove_inode_hugepages
checks for mapped pages and call hugetlb_unmap_file_page to unmap them.
hugetlb_unmap_file_page is designed to drop locks and reacquire in the
correct order to guarantee unmap success.

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.
