x86/mm/pat: clear VM_PAT if copy_p4d_range failed
Syzbot reports a warning in untrack_pfn(). Digging into the root we found that this is due to memory allocation failure in pmd_alloc_one. And this failure is produced due to failslab. In copy_page_range(), memory alloaction for pmd failed. During the error handling process in copy_page_range(), mmput() is called to remove all vmas. While untrack_pfn this empty pfn, warning happens. Here's a simplified flow: dup_mm dup_mmap copy_page_range copy_p4d_range copy_pud_range copy_pmd_range pmd_alloc __pmd_alloc pmd_alloc_one page = alloc_pages(gfp, 0); if (!page) return NULL; mmput exit_mmap unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma untrack_pfn follow_phys WARN_ON_ONCE(1); Since this vma is not generate successfully, we can clear flag VM_PAT. In this case, untrack_pfn() will not be called while cleaning this vma. Function untrack_pfn_moved() has also been renamed to fit the new logic.
