I think there was a line above it that DaveJ just didn't include.

Well, it is intriguing that what faults is this:

                        finish_wait(shmem_falloc_waitq, &shmem_fault_wait);

where 'shmem_fault_wait' is a on-stack wait queue. So it really looks
very much like stack corruption.

What strikes me is that "finish_wait()" does this optimistic "has my
entry been removed" without holding the waitqueue lock (and uses
list_empty_careful() to make sure it does that "safely").

It has that big comment too:

                        /*
                         * shmem_falloc_waitq points into the shmem_fallocate()
                         * stack of the hole-punching task: shmem_falloc_waitq
                         * is usually invalid by the time we reach here, but
                         * finish_wait() does not dereference it in that case;
                         * though i_lock needed lest racing with wake_up_all().
                         */

the stack it comes from is the wait queue head from shmem_fallocate(),
which will do "wake_up_all()" under the inode lock.

On the face of it, the inode lock should make that safe and serialize
everything. And yes, finish_wait() does not touch the unsafe stuff if
the wait-queue (in the local stack) is empty, which wake_up_all()
*should* have guaranteed. It's just a regular wait-queue entry (that
DEFINE_WAIT() does that), so it uses the normal
autoremove_wake_function() that removes things on successful wakeup:

int autoremove_wake_function(wait_queue_t *wait, unsigned mode, int
sync, void *key)
{
        int ret = default_wake_function(wait, mode, sync, key);

        if (ret)
                list_del_init(&wait->task_list);
        return ret;
}

So the only issue is "did default_wake_function() return true"? That's
try_to_wake_up(TASK_NORMAL, 0), and I note that it can return zero
(and thus *not* remove the entry - leavign the invalid entry tghere)
if

        if (!(p->state & state))
                goto out;

but "prepare_to_wait()" (which also ran with the inode->i_lock held,
and also takes the wait-queue lock) did set p->state to
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

So this is all some really subtle code, but I'm not seeing that it
would be wrong.
