[PATCH 0/2] mm/gup: Fix hugepd for longterm R/O pin on Power

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

This series should apply to both mm-stable and mm-unstable, I am not sure
whether it's even applicable to apply on mm-stable directly, but perhaps
not urgently needed either.  Anyway, it'll apply to either tree.  It also
means cc stable is not needed even if I had the Fixes attached.

Patch 1 fixes that bug in mm-stable, patch 2 enhances the gup_longterm to
be able to discover such issue.

In general, the previous hugetlb rework [1] on gup-slow introduced an issue
with R/O longterm pin.  Nobody yet found it in either a real report or test
case, probably because our test case doesn't yet cover it (not before patch
2), and it's also a pretty rare path: it only happens with Power longterm
R/O pins on a page cache that is installed as a hugepd read-only.

Please read each of the patch for details.

I retested "./run_vmtests.sh -t gup_test -a" on a Power8 system with a
Power8 VM, with 16MB hugepd hugepd entries installed.  Note that I tested
exactly the same matrix before, but patch 2 will change gup_longterm test,
so it's actually slightly different test carried out, and the new test
(gup_longterm.c, when apply patch 2 only) will hang mm-stable on Andrew's
tree with that 16MB huge page.

Thanks,
