Revert "rmap: do not call mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() under ptl" This reverts commit aac2fea94f7a3df8ad1eeb477eb2643f81fd5393. It turns out that that patch was complete and utter garbage, and broke KVM, resulting in odd oopses. Quoting Andrea Arcangeli: "The aforementioned commit has 3 bugs. 1) mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end. For KVM mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so. A MMU notifier implementation has to implement either ->invalidate_range method or the invalidate_range_start/end methods, not both. And if you implement invalidate_range_start/end like KVM is forced to do, calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in common code is a noop for KVM. For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD iommuv2) can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range. So all cases (THP on/off) are broken right now. To fix this is enough to replace mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start;mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. Either that or call multiple mmu_notifier_invalidate_page like before. 2) address + (1UL << compound_order(page) is buggy, it should be PAGE_SIZE << compound_order(page), it's bytes not pages, 2M not 512. 3) The whole invalidate_range thing was an attempt to call a single invalidate while walking multiple 4k ptes that maps the same THP (after a pmd virtual split without physical compound page THP split). It's unclear if the rmap_walk will always provide an address that is 2M aligned as parameter to try_to_unmap_one, in presence of THP. I think it needs also an address &= (PAGE_SIZE << compound_order(page)) - 1 to be safe" In general, we should stop making excuses for horrible MMU notifier users. It's much more important that the core VM is sane and safe, than letting MMU notifiers sleep. So if some MMU notifier is sleeping under a spinlock, we need to fix the notifier, not try to make excuses for that garbage in the core VM.
