mainlining shenanigans
5ee2fa2f06
In theory, the following race is possible for batched TLB flushing.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
shrink_page_list()
unmap
zap_pte_range()
flush_tlb_batched_pending()
flush_tlb_mm()
try_to_unmap()
set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
mm->tlb_flush_batched = true
mm->tlb_flush_batched = false
After the TLB is flushed on CPU1 via flush_tlb_mm() and before
mm->tlb_flush_batched is set to false, some PTE is unmapped on CPU0 and
the TLB flushing is pended. Then the pended TLB flushing will be lost.
Although both set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() and
flush_tlb_batched_pending() are called with PTL locked, different PTL
instances may be used.
Because the race window is really small, and the lost TLB flushing will
cause problem only if a TLB entry is inserted before the unmapping in
the race window, the race is only theoretical. But the fix is simple
and cheap too.
Syzbot has reported this too as follows:

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.
