with great pressure, I run some test cases. As a result, I found
that the THP is not freed, it is detected by check_mm().
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff8827edb70000 idx:1 val:512
Consider the following race :
CPU0 CPU1
__handle_mm_fault()
wp_huge_pmd()
do_huge_pmd_wp_page()
pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify()
(pmd_none = true)
exit_mmap()
unmap_vmas()
zap_pmd_range()
pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
(result in memory leak)
set_pmd_at()
because of CPU0 have allocated huge page before pmdp_huge_clear_notify,
and it make the pmd entry to be null. Therefore, The memory leak can occur.
The patch fix the scenario that the pmd entry can lead to be null.
