Jason Gunthorpe 71fb40ae9b drm/ttm: remove ttm_bo_vm_insert_huge() ...

[ Upstream commit 0d97950953 ]

The huge page functionality in TTM does not work safely because PUD and
PMD entries do not have a special bit.

get_user_pages_fast() considers any page that passed pmd_huge() as
usable:

	if (unlikely(pmd_trans_huge(pmd) || pmd_huge(pmd) ||
		     pmd_devmap(pmd))) {

And vmf_insert_pfn_pmd_prot() unconditionally sets

	entry = pmd_mkhuge(pfn_t_pmd(pfn, prot));

eg on x86 the page will be _PAGE_PRESENT | PAGE_PSE.

As such gup_huge_pmd() will try to deref a struct page:

	head = try_grab_compound_head(pmd_page(orig), refs, flags);

and thus crash.

Thomas further notices that the drivers are not expecting the struct page
to be used by anything - in particular the refcount incr above will cause
them to malfunction.

Thus everything about this is not able to fully work correctly considering
GUP_fast. Delete it entirely. It can return someday along with a proper
PMD/PUD_SPECIAL bit in the page table itself to gate GUP_fast.
