I may not be reading the report correctly, but I can not see how we acquire the
hugetlb vma_lock before trying to acquire mmap_lock in stack 0. We would not
acquire the vma_lock until we enter hugetlb fault processing (not in the stack).

Adding Miaohe Lin on Cc due to previous help with vma_lock potential deadlock
situations. Miaohe, does this make sense to you?

Hi Mike,
This doesn't make sense for me too. Stack #1 shows that syz-executor is releasing
its address space while stack #0 shows another thread is serving the write syscall.
In this case, mm->mm_users is 0 and all threads in this process should be serving
do_exit()? But I could be easily wrong. Also I can't see how vma_lock is locked before
trying to acquire mmap_lock in above stacks. Might this be a false positive?

Thanks,
Miaohe Lin

The unlock of vma_lock is conditional:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/hugetlb.c?id=f2f32f8af2b0ca9d619e5183eae3eed431793baf#n6840

and the condition is:

static bool __vma_shareable_flags_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
return vma->vm_flags & (VM_MAYSHARE | VM_SHARED) &&
vma->vm_private_data;
}

Is it possible that the condition has changed between vma lock and unlock?
What mutexes protect vma->vm_flags/vm_private_data?

That would make the report perfectly sensible.

FWIW the test case that was running is this, that's the syscalls that
were running concurrently:

07:56:56 executing program 2:
r0 = syz_open_dev$sndmidi(&(0x7f0000000040), 0x2, 0x141101)
r1 = dup(r0)

I believe Mike found the root cause and his proposed patches in next-20221111 will fix the problem:
