Subject: [PATCH] mm: migration: use rcu_dereference_protected when
dereferencing the radix tree slot during file page migration
migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move() only calls rcu_read_lock() for
anonymous pages, as introduced by git commit
989f89c57e6361e7d16fbd9572b5da7d313b073d ("fix rcu_read_lock() in page
migraton"). The point of the RCU protection there is part of getting a
stable reference to anon_vma and is only held for anon pages as file pages
are locked which is sufficient protection against freeing.
However, while a file page's mapping is being migrated, the radix tree is
double checked to ensure it is the expected page. This uses
radix_tree_deref_slot() -> rcu_dereference() without the RCU lock held
triggering the following warning.

This patch introduces radix_tree_deref_slot_protected() which calls
rcu_dereference_protected(). Users of it must pass in the
mapping->tree_lock that is protecting this dereference. Holding the tree
lock protects against parallel updaters of the radix tree meaning that
rcu_dereference_protected is allowable.
