mm/thp: try_to_unmap() use TTU_SYNC for safe splitting
Stressing huge tmpfs often crashed on unmap_page()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
(!unmap_success): with dump_page() showing mapcount:1, but then its raw
struct page output showing _mapcount ffffffff i.e. mapcount 0.
And even if that particular VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!unmap_success) is removed,
it is immediately followed by a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_mapcount(head)),
and further down an IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) total_mapcount BUG():
all indicative of some mapcount difficulty in development here perhaps.
But the !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM path handles the failures correctly and
silently.
I believe the problem is that once a racing unmap has cleared pte or
pmd, try_to_unmap_one() may skip taking the page table lock, and emerge
from try_to_unmap() before the racing task has reached decrementing
mapcount.
Instead of abandoning the unsafe VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), and the ones that
follow, use PVMW_SYNC in try_to_unmap_one() in this case: adding
TTU_SYNC to the options, and passing that from unmap_page().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or for non-debug too? Consensus is to do the same
for both: the slight overhead added should rarely matter, except perhaps
if splitting sparsely-populated multiply-mapped shmem. Once confident
that bugs are fixed, TTU_SYNC here can be removed, and the race
tolerated.
