commit97113eb39fupstream. To avoid a race between rmap walk and mremap, mremap does take_rmap_locks(). The lock was taken to ensure that rmap walk don't miss a page table entry due to PTE moves via move_pagetables(). The kernel does further optimization of this lock such that if we are going to find the newly added vma after the old vma, the rmap lock is not taken. This is because rmap walk would find the vmas in the same order and if we don't find the page table attached to older vma we would find it with the new vma which we would iterate later. As explained in commiteb66ae0308("mremap: properly flush TLB before releasing the page") mremap is special in that it doesn't take ownership of the page. The optimized version for PUD/PMD aligned mremap also doesn't hold the ptl lock. This can result in stale TLB entries as show below. This patch updates the rmap locking requirement in mremap to handle the race condition explained below with optimized mremap:: Optmized PMD move CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3 mremap(old_addr, new_addr) page_shrinker/try_to_unmap_one mmap_write_lock_killable() addr = old_addr lock(pte_ptl) lock(pmd_ptl) pmd = *old_pmd pmd_clear(old_pmd) flush_tlb_range(old_addr) *new_pmd = pmd *new_addr = 10; and fills TLB with new addr and old pfn unlock(pmd_ptl) ptep_clear_flush() old pfn is free. Stale TLB entry Optimized PUD move also suffers from a similar race. Both the above race condition can be fixed if we force mremap path to take rmap lock.

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.
