change_huge_pmd() after arming the numa/protnone pmd doesn't flush the TLB
right away. do_huge_pmd_numa_page() flushes the TLB before calling
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(). By the time do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
runs some CPU could still access the page through the TLB.
change_huge_pmd() before arming the numa/protnone transhuge pmd calls
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(). So there's no need of
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end()
sequence in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() too, because by the time
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() runs, the pmd mapping has already been
invalidated in the secondary MMUs. It has to or if a secondary MMU can
still write to the page, the migrate_page_copy() would lose data.
However an explicit mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() is needed before
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() starts copying the data of the
transhuge page or the below can happen for MMU notifier users sharing the
primary MMU pagetables and only implementing ->invalidate_range:
CPU0 CPU1 GPU sharing linux pagetables using
only ->invalidate_range
----------- ------------ ---------
GPU secondary MMU writes to the page
mapped by the transhuge pmd
change_pmd_range()
mmu..._range_start()
->invalidate_range_start() noop
change_huge_pmd()
set_pmd_at(numa/protnone)
pmd_unlock()
do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
CPU TLB flush globally (1)
CPU cannot write to page
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
GPU writes to the page...
migrate_page_copy()
...GPU stops writing to the page
CPU TLB flush (2)
mmu..._range_end() (3)
->invalidate_range_stop() noop
->invalidate_range()
GPU secondary MMU is invalidated
and cannot write to the page anymore
(too late)
Just like we need a CPU TLB flush (1) because the TLB flush (2) arrives
too late, we also need a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() before calling
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), because the ->invalidate_range() in
(3) also arrives too late.
This requirement is the result of the lazy optimization in
change_huge_pmd() that releases the pmd_lock without first flushing the
TLB and without first calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range().
Even converting the removed mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end() into
a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() would not have been enough to fix
this, because it run after migrate_page_copy().
After the hugepage data copy is done migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
can proceed and call set_pmd_at without having to flush the TLB nor any
secondary MMUs because the secondary MMU invalidate, just like the CPU TLB
flush, has to happen before the migrate_page_copy() is called or it would
be a bug in the first place (and it was for drivers using
->invalidate_range()).
KVM is unaffected because it doesn't implement ->invalidate_range().
The standard PAGE_SIZEd migrate_misplaced_page is less accelerated and
uses the generic migrate_pages which transitions the pte from
numa/protnone to a migration entry in try_to_unmap_one() and flushes TLBs
and all mmu notifiers there before copying the page.

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.
