[PATCH v9 16/17] mm: make vma cache SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU

[Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com>]

To enable SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for vma cache we need to ensure that
object reuse before RCU grace period is over will be detected by
lock_vma_under_rcu().
Current checks are sufficient as long as vma is detached before it is
freed. The only place this is not currently happening is in exit_mmap().
Add the missing vma_mark_detached() in exit_mmap().
Another issue which might trick lock_vma_under_rcu() during vma reuse
is vm_area_dup(), which copies the entire content of the vma into a new
one, overriding new vma's vm_refcnt and temporarily making it appear as
attached. This might trick a racing lock_vma_under_rcu() to operate on
a reused vma if it found the vma before it got reused. To prevent this
situation, we should ensure that vm_refcnt stays at detached state (0)
when it is copied and advances to attached state only after it is added
into the vma tree. Introduce vm_area_init_from() which preserves new
vma's vm_refcnt and use it in vm_area_dup(). Since all vmas are in
detached state with no current readers when they are freed,
lock_vma_under_rcu() will not be able to take vm_refcnt after vma got
detached even if vma is reused.
Finally, make vm_area_cachep SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This will facilitate
vm_area_struct reuse and will minimize the number of call_rcu() calls.
