mm, hugetlb: fix simple resv_huge_pages underflow on UFFDIO_COPY
The userfaultfd hugetlb tests cause a resv_huge_pages underflow. This happens when hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte() is called with !is_continue on an index for which we already have a page in the cache. When this happens, we allocate a second page, double consuming the reservation, and then fail to insert the page into the cache and return -EEXIST. To fix this, we first check if there is a page in the cache which already consumed the reservation, and return -EEXIST immediately if so. There is still a rare condition where we fail to copy the page contents AND race with a call for hugetlb_no_page() for this index and again we will underflow resv_huge_pages. That is fixed in a more complicated patch not targeted for -stable. Test: Hacked the code locally such that resv_huge_pages underflows produce a warning, then: ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb_shared 10 2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success ...
