When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using
page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the
page returned by pmd_page() is the head page. Although normally true,
this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive
page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or
PMD levels.

This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to
page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the
head page within the function.

We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with
page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate
page, i.e., the de-referenced head.

Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.

Hi Andrew,

Please update the patch in your queue with this version.

It fixes the ltp failures reported by Yury[0]. The original patch led
to incorrect ref-count on certain pages due to taking a referencing on
the following page in some instances. Should be fixed with this
version.

Thanks,
Punit

Gentle ping!

Andrew, please update to this version of the patch - it fixes a breakage
on arm64.

Alternately, if you're OK with it, we could take the whole series via
the arm64 tree.
