+Subject: mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking
+
+commit 57e68e9cd65b4b8eb4045a1e0d0746458502554c upstream.
+
+A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin
+fuzzing with trinity.  The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock
+the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked).
+
+The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is
+somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration,
+which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag.  This would
+not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but
+NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless.  This patch adds
+a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that
+effect.
+
+The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page !=
+check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we
+already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only
+upon success.  If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left
+without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable
+memory design.
