4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, even without THPCache) fails with
"fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo
shows PageTables growing.
rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable after
do_fault_around() has called map_pages(): which is usually a good
optimization, so that the followup doesn't have to reallocate one;
but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into alloc_set_pte(),
since there are failure cases (most commonly VM_FAULT_RETRY) which
never reach finish_fault().
Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't
need to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was
(I cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).
And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.
Fixes: 953c66c2b22a ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64")
