James Houghton bd9a23a4bb hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs 
[ Upstream commit b30c14cd61 ]

PMD sharing can only be done in PUD_SIZE-aligned pieces of VMAs; however,
it is possible that HugeTLB VMAs are split without unsharing the PMDs
first.

Without this fix, it is possible to hit the uffd-wp-related WARN_ON_ONCE
in hugetlb_change_protection [1].  The key there is that
hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds will not attempt to unshare PMDs in
non-PUD_SIZE-aligned sections of the VMA.

It might seem ideal to unshare in hugetlb_vm_op_open, but we need to
unshare in both the new and old VMAs, so unsharing in hugetlb_vm_op_split
seems natural.

README 

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.
