uprobes: split THPs before trying to replace them
Patch series "Fix few rmap-related THP bugs", v3. The patchset fixes handing PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced() and page_idle_clear_pte_refs(). To achieve that I've intrdocued new helper -- page_vma_mapped_walk() -- which replaces all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() and covers all THP cases. Patchset overview: - First patch fixes one uprobe bug (unrelated to the rest of the patchset, just spotted it at the same time); - Patches 2-5 fix handling PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced(), page_idle_clear_pte_refs() and rmap core; - Patches 6-12 convert all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() users (plus remove_migration_pte()) to page_vma_mapped_walk() and drop unused helpers. I think the fixes are not critical enough for stable@ as they don't lead to crashes or hangs, only suboptimal behaviour. This patch (of 12): For THPs page_check_address() always fails. It leads to endless loop in uprobe_write_opcode(). Testcase with huge-tmpfs (uprobes cannot probe anonymous memory). mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt gcc -Wall -O2 -o /mnt/test -x c - <<EOF int main(void) { return 0; } /* Padding to map the code segment with huge pmd */ asm (".zero 2097152"); EOF echo 'p /mnt/test:0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable /mnt/test Let's split THPs before trying to replace.
