x86/mm/pat: clear VM_PAT if copy_p4d_range failed
Syzbot reports a warning in untrack_pfn(). Digging into the root we found
that this is due to memory allocation failure in pmd_alloc_one. And this
failure is produced due to failslab.
In copy_page_range(), memory alloaction for pmd failed. During the error
handling process in copy_page_range(), mmput() is called to remove all
vmas. While untrack_pfn this empty pfn, warning happens.
Here's a simplified flow:
dup_mm
dup_mmap
copy_page_range
copy_p4d_range
copy_pud_range
copy_pmd_range
pmd_alloc
__pmd_alloc
pmd_alloc_one
page = alloc_pages(gfp, 0);
if (!page)
return NULL;
mmput
exit_mmap
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
untrack_pfn
follow_phys
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
Since this vma is not generate successfully, we can clear flag VM_PAT. In
this case, untrack_pfn() will not be called while cleaning this vma.
Function untrack_pfn_moved() has also been renamed to fit the new logic.
