Xu Yu 7ce4b73d34 mm, thp: use head page in __migration_entry_wait()
commit ffc90cbb2970ab88b66ea51dd580469eede57b67 upstream.

We notice that hung task happens in a corner but practical scenario when
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is enabled, as follows.

Process 0                       Process 1                     Process 2..Inf
split_huge_page_to_list
    unmap_page
        split_huge_pmd_address
                                __migration_entry_wait(head)
                                                              __migration_entry_wait(tail)
    remap_page (roll back)
        remove_migration_ptes
            rmap_walk_anon
                cond_resched

Where __migration_entry_wait(tail) is occurred in kernel space, e.g.,
copy_to_user in fstat, which will immediately fault again without
rescheduling, and thus occupy the cpu fully.

When there are too many processes performing __migration_entry_wait on
tail page, remap_page will never be done after cond_resched.

This makes __migration_entry_wait operate on the compound head page,
thus waits for remap_page to complete, whether the THP is split
successfully or roll back.

Note that put_and_wait_on_page_locked helps to drop the page reference
acquired with get_page_unless_zero, as soon as the page is on the wait
queue, before actually waiting.  So splitting the THP is only prevented
for a brief interval.

README

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.
