thp: set compound tail page _count to zero
Commit 70b50f94f1644 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all page_tail->_count zero at all times. But the current kernel does not set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized. So when an IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a tail page's _count does not equal zero. kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:386! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Call Trace: gup_pud_range+0xb8/0x19d get_user_pages_fast+0xcb/0x192 ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0xf hva_to_pfn+0x119/0x2f2 gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x2c/0x2e kvm_iommu_map_pages+0xfd/0x1c1 kvm_iommu_map_memslots+0x7c/0xbd kvm_iommu_map_guest+0xaa/0xbf kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device+0x2ef/0xa47 kvm_vm_ioctl+0x36c/0x3a2 do_vfs_ioctl+0x49e/0x4e4 sys_ioctl+0x5a/0x7c system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b RIP gup_huge_pud+0xf2/0x159 Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
