Subject: [PATCH mmotm] mm/munlock: mlock_vma_folio() check against VM_SPECIAL
Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 17:35:30 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9b95d366-1719-f8e2-a5a3-429f9e808288@google.com> (raw)

Although mmap_region() and mlock_fixup() take care that VM_LOCKED
is never left set on a VM_SPECIAL vma, there is an interval while
file->f_op->mmap() is using vm_insert_page(s), when VM_LOCKED may
still be set while VM_SPECIAL bits are added: so mlock_vma_folio()
should ignore VM_LOCKED while any VM_SPECIAL bits are set.

This showed up as a "Bad page" still mlocked, when vfree()ing pages
which had been vm_inserted by remap_vmalloc_range_partial(): while
release_pages() and __page_cache_release(), and so put_page(), catch
pages still mlocked when freeing (and clear_page_mlock() caught them
when unmapping), the vfree() path is unprepared for them: fix it?
but these pages should not have been mlocked in the first place.

I assume that an mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) had been done in the past; or
maybe the user got to specify MAP_LOCKED on a vmalloc'ing driver mmap.

Diffed against top of next-20220301 or mmotm 2022-02-28-14-45.
This patch really belongs as a fix to the mm/munlock series in
Matthew's tree, so he might like to take it in there (but the patch
here is the foliated version, so easiest to place it after foliation).
