mm/mempolicy.c: check range first in queue_pages_test_walk
Patch series "mm: Fix checking unmapped holes for mbind", v4. This patchset fix checking unmapped holes for mbind(). First patch makes sure the vma been correctly tracked in .test_walk(), so each time when .test_walk() is called, the neighborhood of two vma is correct. Current problem is that the !vma_migratable() check could cause return immediately without update tracking to vma. Second patch fix the inconsistent report of EFAULT when mbind() is called for MPOL_DEFAULT and non MPOL_DEFAULT cases, so application do not need to have workaround code to handle this special behavior. Currently there are two problems, one is that the .test_walk() can not know there is hole at tail side of range, because .test_walk() only call for vma not for hole. The other one is that mbind_range() checks for hole at head side of range but do not consider the MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK flag as done in .test_walk(). This patch (of 2): Checking unmapped hole and updating the previous vma must be handled first, otherwise the unmapped hole could be calculated from a wrong previous vma. Several commits were relevant to this error: - commit 6f4576e3687b ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on queue_pages_range()") This commit was correct, the VM_PFNMAP check was after updating previous vma - commit 48684a65b4e3 ("mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)") This commit added VM_PFNMAP check before updating previous vma. Then, there were two VM_PFNMAP check did same thing twice. - commit acda0c334028 ("mm/mempolicy.c: get rid of duplicated check for vma(VM_PFNMAP) in queue_page s_range()") This commit tried to fix the duplicated VM_PFNMAP check, but it wrongly removed the one which was after updating vma.
