    mm: fix double mmap_sem unlock on MMF_UNSTABLE enforced SIGBUS · 5b53a6ea
    Michal Hocko authored
    Tetsuo Handa has noticed that MMF_UNSTABLE SIGBUS path in
    handle_mm_fault causes a lockdep splat

         page_fault+0x28/0x30
    
    The reason is that the page fault path might have dropped the mmap_sem
    and returned with VM_FAULT_RETRY.  MMF_UNSTABLE check however rewrites
    the error path to VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and we always expect mmap_sem taken in
    that path.  Fix this by taking mmap_sem when VM_FAULT_RETRY is held in
    the MMF_UNSTABLE path.
    
    We cannot simply add VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to the existing error code because
    all arch specific page fault handlers and g-u-p would have to learn a
    new error code combination.
