The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory.  To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem.  In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.

This conversion is straightforward.  For now, all users take the write
lock.

<title>hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported</title>

<id>457c1b27ed56ec472d202731b12417bff023594a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`.  I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
  ....

In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:

  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  HugePages_Total:       0
  HugePages_Free:        0
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  Hugepagesize:         64 kB

HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init().  Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment.  I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

Currently, to track reserved and allocated regions, we use two different
ways, depending on the mapping.  For MAP_SHARED, we use
address_mapping's private_list and, while for MAP_PRIVATE, we use a
resv_map.

Now, we are preparing to change a coarse grained lock which protect a
region structure to fine grained lock, and this difference hinder it.
So, before changing it, unify region structure handling, consistently
using a resv_map regardless of the kind of mapping.

dynamic_dname() is both too much and too little for those - the
output may be well in excess of 64 bytes dynamic_dname() assumes
to be enough (thanks to ashmem feeding really long names to
shmem_file_setup()) and vsnprintf() is an overkill for those
guys.

which is a false positive caused by hugetlb pmd sharing code which
allocates a new pmd from withing mapping-&gt;i_mmap_mutex.  If this
allocation causes reclaim then the lockdep detector complains that we
might self-deadlock.

This is not correct though, because hugetlb pages are not reclaimable so
their mapping will be never touched from the reclaim path.

The patch tells lockup detector that hugetlb i_mmap_mutex is special by
assigning it a separate lockdep class so it won't report possible
deadlocks on unrelated mappings.
