commit fac35ba763ed07ba93154c95ffc0c4a55023707f upstream. On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb (2M and 1G), but also CONT-PTE/PMD size(64K and 32M) if a 4K page size specified. So when looking up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by follow_page(), it will use pte_offset_map_lock() to get the pte entry lock for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb in follow_page_pte(). However this pte entry lock is incorrect for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, since we should use huge_pte_lock() to get the correct lock, which is mm->page_table_lock. That means the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb under current pte lock is unstable in follow_page_pte(), we can continue to migrate or poison the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, which can cause some potential race issues, even though they are under the 'pte lock'. For example, suppose thread A is trying to look up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by move_pages() syscall under the lock, however antoher thread B can migrate the CONT-PTE hugetlb page at the same time, which will cause thread A to get an incorrect page, if thread A also wants to do page migration, then data inconsistency error occurs. Moreover we have the same issue for CONT-PMD size hugetlb in follow_huge_pmd(). To fix above issues, rename the follow_huge_pmd() as follow_huge_pmd_pte() to handle PMD and PTE level size hugetlb, which uses huge_pte_lock() to get the correct pte entry lock to make the pte entry stable.

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.
