Linus Torvalds 785373b4c3 Revert "rmap: do not call mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() under ptl" 
This reverts commit aac2fea94f.

It turns out that that patch was complete and utter garbage, and broke
KVM, resulting in odd oopses.

Quoting Andrea Arcangeli:
 "The aforementioned commit has 3 bugs.

  1) mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of
     mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end.

     For KVM mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so.

     A MMU notifier implementation has to implement either
     ->invalidate_range method or the invalidate_range_start/end
     methods, not both. And if you implement invalidate_range_start/end
     like KVM is forced to do, calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in
     common code is a noop for KVM.

     For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing
     ->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by
     mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs
     that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD
     iommuv2) can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range.

     So all cases (THP on/off) are broken right now.

     To fix this is enough to replace mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with
     mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start;mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end.
     Either that or call multiple mmu_notifier_invalidate_page like
     before.

  2) address + (1UL << compound_order(page) is buggy, it should be
     PAGE_SIZE << compound_order(page), it's bytes not pages, 2M not
     512.

  3) The whole invalidate_range thing was an attempt to call a single
     invalidate while walking multiple 4k ptes that maps the same THP
     (after a pmd virtual split without physical compound page THP
     split).

     It's unclear if the rmap_walk will always provide an address that
     is 2M aligned as parameter to try_to_unmap_one, in presence of THP.
     I think it needs also an address &= (PAGE_SIZE <<
     compound_order(page)) - 1 to be safe"

In general, we should stop making excuses for horrible MMU notifier
users.  It's much more important that the core VM is sane and safe, than
letting MMU notifiers sleep.

So if some MMU notifier is sleeping under a spinlock, we need to fix the
notifier, not try to make excuses for that garbage in the core VM.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
