maple_tree: be more cautious about dead nodes
Patch series "Fix VMA tree modification under mmap read lock". Syzbot reported a BUG_ON in mm/mmap.c which was found to be caused by an inconsistency between threads walking the VMA maple tree. The inconsistency is caused by the page fault handler modifying the maple tree while holding the mmap_lock for read. This only happens for stack VMAs. We had thought this was safe as it only modifies a single pivot in the tree. Unfortunately, syzbot constructed a test case where the stack had no guard page and grew the stack to abut the next VMA. This causes us to delete the NULL entry between the two VMAs and rewrite the node. We considered several options for fixing this, including dropping the mmap_lock, then reacquiring it for write; and relaxing the definition of the tree to permit a zero-length NULL entry in the node. We decided the best option was to backport some of the RCU patches from -next, which solve the problem by allocating a new node and RCU-freeing the old node. Since the problem exists in 6.1, we preferred a solution which is similar to the one we intended to merge next merge window. These patches have been in -next since next-20230301, and have received intensive testing in Android as part of the RCU page fault patchset. They were also sent as part of the "Per-VMA locks" v4 patch series. Patches 1 to 7 are bug fixes for RCU mode of the tree and patch 8 enables RCU mode for the tree. Performance v6.3-rc3 vs patched v6.3-rc3: Running these changes through mmtests showed there was a 15-20% performance decrease in will-it-scale/brk1-processes. This tests creating and inserting a single VMA repeatedly through the brk interface and isn't representative of any real world applications. This patch (of 8): ma_pivots() and ma_data_end() may be called with a dead node. Ensure to that the node isn't dead before using the returned values. This is necessary for RCU mode of the maple tree.
