Our machine encountered a panic(addressing exception) after run for a long time and the calltrace is: RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff9dff0587>] [<ffffffff9dff0587>] hugetlb_fault+0x307/0xbe0 RSP: 0018:ffff9567fc27f808 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: e800c03ff1258d48 RBX: ffffd3bb003b69c0 RCX: e800c03ff1258d48 RDX: 17ff3fc00eda72b7 RSI: 00003ffffffff000 RDI: e800c03ff1258d48 RBP: ffff9567fc27f8c8 R08: e800c03ff1258d48 R09: 0000000000000080 R10: ffffaba0704c22a8 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff95c87b4b60d8 R13: 00005fff00000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff9567face8074 FS: 00007fe2d9ffb700(0000) GS:ffff956900e40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffffd3bb003b69c0 CR3: 000000be67374000 CR4: 00000000003627e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: [<ffffffff9df9b71b>] ? unlock_page+0x2b/0x30 [<ffffffff9dff04a2>] ? hugetlb_fault+0x222/0xbe0 [<ffffffff9dff1405>] follow_hugetlb_page+0x175/0x540 [<ffffffff9e15b825>] ? cpumask_next_and+0x35/0x50 [<ffffffff9dfc7230>] __get_user_pages+0x2a0/0x7e0 [<ffffffff9dfc648d>] __get_user_pages_unlocked+0x15d/0x210 [<ffffffffc068cfc5>] __gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x3c5/0x460 [kvm] [<ffffffffc06b28be>] try_async_pf+0x6e/0x2a0 [kvm] [<ffffffffc06b4b41>] tdp_page_fault+0x151/0x2d0 [kvm] ...

For 1G hugepages, huge_pte_offset() wants to return NULL or pudp, but it may return a wrong 'pmdp' if there is a race. Please look at the following code snippet: ... pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr); if (sz != PUD_SIZE && pud_none(*pud)) return NULL; /* hugepage or swap? */ if (pud_huge(*pud) || !pud_present(*pud)) return (pte_t *)pud;

pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr); if (sz != PMD_SIZE && pmd_none(*pmd)) return NULL; /* hugepage or swap? */ if (pmd_huge(*pmd) || !pmd_present(*pmd)) return (pte_t *)pmd; ...

The following sequence would trigger this bug: 1. CPU0: sz = PUD_SIZE and *pud = 0 , continue 1. CPU0: "pud_huge(*pud)" is false 2. CPU1: calling hugetlb_no_page and set *pud to xxxx8e7(PRESENT) 3. CPU0: "!pud_present(*pud)" is false, continue 4. CPU0: pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr) and maybe return a wrong pmdp However, we want CPU0 to return NULL or pudp in this case.

Also, according to the section 'COMPILER BARRIER' of memory-barriers.txt: ''' (*) The compiler is within its rights to reorder loads and stores to the same variable, and in some cases, the CPU is within its rights to reorder loads to the same variable. This means that the following code:

a[0] = x; a[1] = x;

Might result in an older value of x stored in a[1] than in a[0]. ''' there're several other data races in huge_pte_offset, for example: ''' p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr) if (!p4d_present(*p4d)) return NULL; pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr) <-- will be unwinded as: pud = (pud_t *)p4d_page_vaddr(*p4d) + pud_index(address); ''' which is free for the compiler/CPU to execute as: ''' p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr) p4d_for_vaddr = *p4d; if (!p4d_present(*p4d)) return NULL; pud = (pud_t *)p4d_page_vaddr(p4d_for_vaddr) + pud_index(address); ''' so in the case where *p4d goes from '!present' to 'present': p4d_present(*p4d) == true and p4d_for_vaddr == none, meaning the p4d_page_vaddr() will crash.

For these reasons, we must make sure there is exactly one dereference of p4d, pud and pmd.
