4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com>
commit 2be7cfed995e25de1ffaffe14cc065b7ffb528e0 upstream.
Commit 9a291a7c9428 ("mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified") causes __get_user_pages to ignore certain errors from follow_hugetlb_page. After such error, __get_user_pages subsequently calls faultin_page on the same VMA and start address that follow_hugetlb_page failed on instead of returning the error immediately as it should.
In follow_hugetlb_page, when hugetlb_fault returns a value covered under VM_FAULT_ERROR, follow_hugetlb_page returns it without setting nr_pages to 0 as __get_user_pages expects in this case, which causes the following to happen in __get_user_pages: the "while (nr_pages)" check succeeds, we skip the "if (!vma..." check because we got a VMA the last time around, we find no page with follow_page_mask, and we call faultin_page, which calls hugetlb_fault for the second time.
This issue also slightly changes how __get_user_pages works. Before, it only returned error if it had made no progress (i = 0). But now, follow_hugetlb_page can clobber "i" with an error code since its new return path doesn't check for progress. So if "i" is nonzero before a failing call to follow_hugetlb_page, that indication of progress is lost and __get_user_pages can return error even if some pages were successfully pinned.
To fix this, change follow_hugetlb_page so that it updates nr_pages, allowing __get_user_pages to fail immediately and restoring the "error only if no progress" behavior to __get_user_pages.
Tested that __get_user_pages returns when expected on error from hugetlb_fault in follow_hugetlb_page.
