Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma

I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff. The
problem can be reproduced by the following steps:

1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:

mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)

We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
unuse_pud_range() by ftrace. And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
be freed because we lost it from page table. We can skip HugeTLB pages
for unuse_vma to fix it.
