From acdd9f8e0fed9f1bd7e83a8ff934694bb4c9a72b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2021 14:54:34 -0700 Subject: huge tmpfs: SGP_NOALLOC to stop collapse_file() on race khugepaged's collapse_file() currently uses SGP_NOHUGE to tell shmem_getpage() not to try allocating a huge page, in the very unlikely event that a racing hole-punch removes the swapped or fallocated page as soon as i_pages lock is dropped. We want to consolidate shmem's huge decisions, removing SGP_HUGE and SGP_NOHUGE; but cannot quite persuade ourselves that it's okay to regress the protection in this case - Yang Shi points out that the huge page would remain indefinitely, charged to root instead of the intended memcg. collapse_file() should not even allocate a small page in this case: why proceed if someone is punching a hole? SGP_READ is almost the right flag here, except that it optimizes away from a fallocated page, with NULL to tell caller to fill with zeroes (like a hole); whereas collapse_file()'s sequence relies on using a cache page. Add SGP_NOALLOC just for this. There are too many consecutive "if (page"s there in shmem_getpage_gfp(): group it better; and fix the outdated "bring it back from swap" comment.
