H A Dpage_vma_mapped.cdiff d75450ff40df0199bf13dfb19f435519ff947138 Sat Apr 08 01:04:39 CEST 2017 Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> mm: fix page_vma_mapped_walk() for ksm pages

Doug Smythies reports oops with KSM in this backtrace, I've been seeing
the same:

page_vma_mapped_walk+0xe6/0x5b0
page_referenced_one+0x91/0x1a0
rmap_walk_ksm+0x100/0x190
rmap_walk+0x4f/0x60
page_referenced+0x149/0x170
shrink_active_list+0x1c2/0x430
shrink_node_memcg+0x67a/0x7a0
shrink_node+0xe1/0x320
kswapd+0x34b/0x720

Just as observed in commit 4b0ece6fa016 ("mm: migrate: fix
remove_migration_pte() for ksm pages"), you cannot use page->index
calculations on ksm pages.

page_vma_mapped_walk() is relying on __vma_address(), where a ksm page
can lead it off the end of the page table, and into whatever nonsense is
in the next page, ending as an oops inside check_pte()'s pte_page().

KSM tells page_vma_mapped_walk() exactly where to look for the page, it
does not need any page->index calculation: and that's so also for all
the normal and file and anon pages - just not for THPs and their
subpages. Get out early in most cases: instead of a PageKsm test, move
down the earlier not-THP-page test, as suggested by Kirill.

I'm also slightly worried that this loop can stray into other vmas, so
added a vm_end test to prevent surprises; though I have not imagined
anything worse than a very contrived case, in which a page mlocked in
the next vma might be reclaimed because it is not mlocked in this vma.
