thp: fix another corner case of munlock() vs. THPs
The following test case triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range(): int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; system("mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt"); fd = open("/mnt/test", O_CREAT | O_RDWR); ftruncate(fd, 4UL << 20); mmap(NULL, 4UL << 20, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0); mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0); munlockall(); return 0; } The second mmap() create PTE-mapping of the first huge page in file. It makes kernel munlock the page as we never keep PTE-mapped page mlocked. On munlockall() when we handle vma created by the first mmap(), munlock_vma_page() returns page_mask == 0, as the page is not mlocked anymore. On next iteration follow_page_mask() return tail page, but page_mask is HPAGE_NR_PAGES - 1. It makes us skip to the first tail page of the next huge page and step on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageMlocked(page)). The fix is not use the page_mask from follow_page_mask() at all. It has no use for us.
