Subject: mempolicy: mmap_lock is not needed while migrating folios
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 02:27:47 -0700 (PDT)

mbind(2) holds down_write of current task's mmap_lock throughout
(exclusive because it needs to set the new mempolicy on the vmas);
migrate_pages(2) holds down_read of pid's mmap_lock throughout.

They both hold mmap_lock across the internal migrate_pages(), under which
all new page allocations (huge or small) are made.  I'm nervous about it;
and migrate_pages() certainly does not need mmap_lock itself.  It's done
this way for mbind(2), because its page allocator is vma_alloc_folio() or
alloc_hugetlb_folio_vma(), both of which depend on vma and address.

Now that we have alloc_pages_mpol(), depending on (refcounted) memory
policy and interleave index, mbind(2) can be modified to use that or
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), and then not need mmap_lock across the
internal migrate_pages() at all: add alloc_migration_target_by_mpol() to
replace mbind's new_page().

(After that change, alloc_hugetlb_folio_vma() is used by nothing but a
userfaultfd function: move it out of hugetlb.h and into the #ifdef.)

migrate_pages(2) has chosen its target node before migrating, so can
continue to use the standard alloc_migration_target(); but let it take and
drop mmap_lock just around migrate_to_node()'s queue_pages_range():
neither the node-to-node calculations nor the page migrations need it.

It seems unlikely, but it is conceivable that some userspace depends on
the kernel's mmap_lock exclusion here, instead of doing its own locking:
more likely in a testsuite than in real life.  It is also possible, of
course, that some pages on the list will be munmapped by another thread
before they are migrated, or a newer memory policy applied to the range by
that time: but such races could happen before, as soon as mmap_lock was
dropped, so it does not appear to be a concern.
