    x86/pgtable: Don't set huge PUD/PMD on non-leaf entries · f1493dbe

    [ Upstream commit e3e28812 ]
    
    The pmd_set_huge() and pud_set_huge() functions are used from
    the generic ioremap() code to establish large mappings where this
    is possible.
    
    But the generic ioremap() code does not check whether the
    PMD/PUD entries are already populated with a non-leaf entry,
    so that any page-table pages these entries point to will be
    lost.
    
    Further, on x86-32 with SHARED_KERNEL_PMD=0, this causes a
    BUG_ON() in vmalloc_sync_one() when PMD entries are synced
    from swapper_pg_dir to the current page-table. This happens
    because the PMD entry from swapper_pg_dir was promoted to a
    huge-page entry while the current PGD still contains the
    non-leaf entry. Because both entries are present and point
    to a different page, the BUG_ON() triggers.
    
    This was actually triggered with pti-x32 enabled in a KVM
    virtual machine by the graphics driver.
    
    A real and better fix for that would be to improve the
    page-table handling in the generic ioremap() code. But that is
    out-of-scope for this patch-set and left for later work.
