hugetlb: fix memory leak associated with vma_lock structure
The hugetlb vma_lock structure hangs off the vm_private_data pointer of
sharable hugetlb vmas. The structure is vma specific and can not be
shared between vmas. At fork and various other times, vmas are duplicated
via vm_area_dup(). When this happens, the pointer in the newly created
vma must be cleared and the structure reallocated. Two hugetlb specific
routines deal with this hugetlb_dup_vma_private and hugetlb_vm_op_open.
Both routines are called for newly created vmas. hugetlb_dup_vma_private
would always clear the pointer and hugetlb_vm_op_open would allocate the
new vms_lock structure. This did not work in the case of this calling
sequence pointed out in [1].
move_vma
copy_vma
new_vma = vm_area_dup(vma);
new_vma->vm_ops->open(new_vma); --> new_vma has its own vma lock.
is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)
clear_vma_resv_huge_pages
hugetlb_dup_vma_private --> vma->vm_private_data is set to NULL
When clearing hugetlb_dup_vma_private we actually leak the associated
vma_lock structure.
The vma_lock structure contains a pointer to the associated vma. This
information can be used in hugetlb_dup_vma_private and hugetlb_vm_op_open
to ensure we only clear the vm_private_data of newly created (copied)
vmas. In such cases, the vma->vma_lock->vma field will not point to the
vma.
Update hugetlb_dup_vma_private and hugetlb_vm_op_open to not clear
vm_private_data if vma->vma_lock->vma == vma. Also, log a warning if
hugetlb_vm_op_open ever encounters the case where vma_lock has already
been correctly allocated for the vma.
