Wangyong reports: after enabling tmpfs filesystem to support transparent
hugepage with the following command:
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled
the docker program tries to add F_SEAL_WRITE through the following
command, but it fails unexpectedly with errno EBUSY:
fcntl(5, F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_WRITE) = -1.
That is because memfd_tag_pins() and memfd_wait_for_pins() were never
updated for shmem huge pages: checking page_mapcount() against
page_count() is hopeless on THP subpages - they need to check
total_mapcount() against page_count() on THP heads only.
Make memfd_tag_pins() (compared > 1) as strict as memfd_wait_for_pins()
(compared != 1): either can be justified, but given the non-atomic
total_mapcount() calculation, it is better now to be strict. Bear in
mind that total_mapcount() itself scans all of the THP subpages, when
choosing to take an XA_CHECK_SCHED latency break.
Also fix the unlikely xa_is_value() case in memfd_wait_for_pins(): if a
page has been swapped out since memfd_tag_pins(), then its refcount must
have fallen, and so it can safely be untagged.
