Revision e700898fa075c69b3ae02b702ab57fb75e1a82ec authored by Mike Kravetz on 12 December 2022, 23:50:41 UTC, committed by Andrew Morton on 21 December 2022, 22:31:52 UTC
Commit bbff39cc6cbc ("hugetlb: allocate vma lock for all sharable vmas")
removed the pmd sharable checks in the vma lock helper routines.  However,
it left the functional version of helper routines behind #ifdef
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE.  Therefore, the vma lock is not being
used for sharable vmas on architectures that do not support pmd sharing. 
On these architectures, a potential fault/truncation race is exposed that
could leave pages in a hugetlb file past i_size until the file is removed.

Move the functional vma lock helpers outside the ifdef, and remove the
non-functional stubs.  Since the vma lock is not just for pmd sharing,
rename the routine __vma_shareable_flags_pmd.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
