Shijie Luo c1f729c7de mm: mempolicy: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error
commit 3f08842098 upstream.

When flags in queue_pages_pte_range don't have MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL bits, code breaks and passing origin pte - 1 to
pte_unmap_unlock seems like not a good idea.

queue_pages_pte_range can run in MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL mode which doesn't
migrate misplaced pages but returns with EIO when encountering such a
page.  Since commit a7f40cfe3b ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return
-EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified") and early break on the first pte
in the range results in pte_unmap_unlock on an underflow pte.  This can
lead to lockups later on when somebody tries to lock the pte resp.
page_table_lock again..

Fixes: a7f40cfe3b ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified")

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
