Andres L-C has pointed out that the single-page unmap_mapping_range() fallback in truncate_inode_page() cannot protect against the case when a huge page was faulted in after the full-range unmap_mapping_range(): because page_mapped(page) checks tail page's mapcount, not the head's.
So, there's a danger that hole-punching (and maybe even truncation) can free pages while they are mapped into userspace with a huge pmd. And I don't believe that the CVE-2014-4171 protection in shmem_fault() can fully protect from this, although it does make it much harder. Fix that by adding a duplicate single-page unmap_mapping_range() into shmem_disband_hugeteam() (called when punching or truncating a PageTeam), at the point when we also hold the head's page lock (without which there would still be races): which will then split all huge pmd mappings covering the page into team pte mappings. This is also just what's needed to handle memory_failure() correctly: provide custom shmem_error_remove_page(), call shmem_disband_hugeteam() from that before proceeding to generic_error_remove_page(), then this additional unmap_mapping_range() will remap team by ptes as needed. (There is an unlikely case that we're racing with another disbander, or disband didn't get trylock on head page at first: memory_failure() has almost finished with the page, so it's safe to unlock and relock before retrying.) But there is one further change needed in hwpoison_user_mappings(): it must recognize a hugely mapped team before concluding that the page is not mapped. (And still no support for soft_offline(), which will have to wait for page migration of teams.)
