[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too

(David:)

If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.

But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it.  That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range().  On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD.  unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries.  I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.

(Hugh:)

prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down.  PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.

Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.
