[ Upstream commit 1a14e3779dd58c16b30e56558146e5cc850ba8b0 ]
grab_mapping_entry() has a bug in handling of ENOMEM condition. Suppose
we have a PMD entry at index i which we are downgrading to a PTE entry.
grab_mapping_entry() will set pmd_downgrade to true, lock the entry, clear
the entry in xarray, and decrement mapping->nrpages. The it will call:
entry = dax_make_entry(pfn_to_pfn_t(0), flags);
dax_lock_entry(xas, entry);
which inserts new PTE entry into xarray. However this may fail allocating
the new node. We handle this by:
if (xas_nomem(xas, mapping_gfp_mask(mapping) & ~__GFP_HIGHMEM))
goto retry;
however pmd_downgrade stays set to true even though 'entry' returned from
get_unlocked_entry() will be NULL now. And we will go again through the
downgrade branch. This is mostly harmless except that mapping->nrpages is
decremented again and we temporarily have an invalid entry stored in
xarray. Fix the problem by setting pmd_downgrade to false each time we
lookup the entry we work with so that it matches the entry we found.

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.
