Merge branch 'core-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull unified TLB flushing from Ingo Molnar:
"This contains the generic mmu_gather feature from Peter Zijlstra,
which is an all-arch unification of TLB flushing APIs, via the
following (broad) steps:
- enhance the <asm-generic/tlb.h> APIs to cover more arch details
- convert most TLB flushing arch implementations to the generic
<asm-generic/tlb.h> APIs.
- remove leftovers of per arch implementations
After this series every single architecture makes use of the unified
TLB flushing APIs"

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid potential NULL pointer dereference
ac.preferred_zoneref->zone passed to alloc_flags_nofragment() can be NULL.
'zone' pointer unconditionally derefernced in alloc_flags_nofragment().
Bail out on NULL zone to avoid potential crash. Currently we don't see
any crashes only because alloc_flags_nofragment() has another bug which
allows compiler to optimize away all accesses to 'zone'.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: drop memory device reference after find_memory_block()
Right now we are using find_memory_block() to get the node id for the
pfn range to online. We are missing to drop a reference to the memory
block device. While the device still gets unregistered via
device_unregister(), resulting in no user visible problem, the device is
never released via device_release(), resulting in a memory leak. Fix
that by properly using a put_device().

coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping
The core dumping code has always run without holding the mmap_sem for
writing, despite that is the only way to ensure that the entire vma
layout will not change from under it. Only using some signal
serialization on the processes belonging to the mm is not nearly enough.
This was pointed out earlier. For example in Hugh's post from Jul 2017:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1707191716030.2055@eggly.anvils
"Not strictly relevant here, but a related note: I was very surprised
to discover, only quite recently, how handle_mm_fault() may be called
without down_read(mmap_sem) - when core dumping. That seems a
misguided optimization to me, which would also be nice to correct"
In particular because the growsdown and growsup can move the
vm_start/vm_end the various loops the core dump does around the vma will
not be consistent if page faults can happen concurrently.
Pretty much all users calling mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and then
taking the mmap_sem had the potential to introduce unexpected side
effects in the core dumping code.
Adding mmap_sem for writing around the ->core_dump invocation is a
viable long term fix, but it requires removing all copy user and page
faults and to replace them with get_dump_page() for all binary formats
which is not suitable as a short term fix.
For the time being this solution manually covers the places that can
confuse the core dump either by altering the vma layout or the vma flags
while it runs. Once ->core_dump runs under mmap_sem for writing the
function mmget_still_valid() can be dropped.
Allowing mmap_sem protected sections to run in parallel with the
coredump provides some minor parallelism advantage to the swapoff code
(which seems to be safe enough by never mangling any vma field and can
keep doing swapins in parallel to the core dumping) and to some other
corner case.
In order to facilitate the backporting I added "Fixes: 86039bd3b4e6"
however the side effect of this same race condition in /proc/pid/mem
should be reproducible since before 2.6.12-rc2 so I couldn't add any
other "Fixes:" because there's no hash beyond the git genesis commit.
Because find_extend_vma() is the only location outside of the process
context that could modify the "mm" structures under mmap_sem for
reading, by adding the mmget_still_valid() check to it, all other cases
that take the mmap_sem for reading don't need the new check after
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm(). The expand_stack() in page fault
context also doesn't need the new check, because all tasks under core
dumping are frozen.

mm: fix inactive list balancing between NUMA nodes and cgroups
During !CONFIG_CGROUP reclaim, we expand the inactive list size if it's
thrashing on the node that is about to be reclaimed. But when cgroups
are enabled, we suddenly ignore the node scope and use the cgroup scope
only. The result is that pressure bleeds between NUMA nodes depending
on whether cgroups are merely compiled into Linux. This behavioral
difference is unexpected and undesirable.
When the refault adaptivity of the inactive list was first introduced,
there were no statistics at the lruvec level - the intersection of node
and memcg - so it was better than nothing.
But now that we have that infrastructure, use lruvec_page_state() to
make the list balancing decision always NUMA aware.

mm/hotplug: treat CMA pages as unmovable
has_unmovable_pages() is used by allocating CMA and gigantic pages as
well as the memory hotplug. The later doesn't know how to offline CMA
pool properly now, but if an unused (free) CMA page is encountered, then
has_unmovable_pages() happily considers it as a free memory and
propagates this up the call chain. Memory offlining code then frees the
page without a proper CMA tear down which leads to an accounting issues.
Moreover if the same memory range is onlined again then the memory never
gets back to the CMA pool.
State after memory offline:
# grep cma /proc/vmstat
nr_free_cma 205824
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/cma/cma-kvm_cma/count
209920
Also, kmemleak still think those memory address are reserved below but
have already been used by the buddy allocator after onlining. This
patch fixes the situation by treating CMA pageblocks as unmovable except
when has_unmovable_pages() is called as part of CMA allocation.

mm: swapoff: take notice of completion sooner
The old try_to_unuse() implementation was driven by find_next_to_unuse(),
which terminated as soon as all the swap had been freed.
Add inuse_pages checks now (alongside signal_pending()) to stop scanning
mms and swap_map once finished.
The same ought to be done in shmem_unuse() too, but never was before,
and needs a different interface: so leave it as is for now.

mm: swapoff: remove too limiting SWAP_UNUSE_MAX_TRIES
SWAP_UNUSE_MAX_TRIES 3 appeared to work well in earlier testing, but
further testing has proved it to be a source of unnecessary swapoff
EBUSY failures (which can then be followed by unmount EBUSY failures).
When mmget_not_zero() or shmem's igrab() fails, there is an mm exiting
or inode being evicted, freeing up swap independent of try_to_unuse().
Those typically completed much sooner than the old quadratic swapoff,
but now it's more common that swapoff may need to wait for them.
It's possible to move those cases from init_mm.mmlist and shmem_swaplist
to separate "exiting" swaplists, and try_to_unuse() then wait for those
lists to be emptied; but we've not bothered with that in the past, and
don't want to risk missing some other forgotten case. So just revert to
cycling around until the swap is gone, without any retries limit.

mm: swapoff: shmem_find_swap_entries() filter out other types
Swapfile "type" was passed all the way down to shmem_unuse_inode(), but
then forgotten from shmem_find_swap_entries(): with the result that
removing one swapfile would try to free up all the swap from shmem - no
problem when only one swapfile anyway, but counter-productive when more,
causing swapoff to be unnecessarily OOM-killed when it should succeed.

Merge branch 'page-refs' (page ref overflow)
Merge page ref overflow branch. Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely slow). Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever free the page references and just keep adding more). Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page duplication. So let's just do that. * branch page-refs: fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit |

mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while there are still four billion references to it. One of the possible avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO on a page multiple times. This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion references to the page.

asm-generic/tlb: Remove tlb_flush_mmu_free()

mm/migrate.c: add missing flush_dcache_page for non-mapped page migrate
Our MIPS 1004Kc SoCs were seeing random userspace crashes with SIGILL and SIGSEGV that could not be traced back to a userspace code bug. They had all the magic signs of an I/D cache coherency issue. Now recently we noticed that the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory interface was quite efficient at provoking this class of userspace crashes. Studying the code in mm/migrate.c there is a distinction made between migrating a page that is mapped at the instant of migration and one that is not mapped. Our problem turned out to be the non-mapped pages. For the non-mapped page the code performs a copy of the page content and all relevant meta-data of the page without doing the required D-cache maintenance. This leaves dirty data in the D-cache of the CPU and on the 1004K cores this data is not visible to the I-cache. A subsequent page-fault that triggers a mapping of the page will happily serve the process with potentially stale code. What about ARM then, this bug should have seen greater exposure? Well ARM became immune to this flaw back in 2010, see commit |

mm/debug.c: fix __dump_page when mapping->host is not set
While debugging something, I added a dump_page() into do_swap_page(),
and I got the splat from below. The issue happens when dereferencing
mapping->host in __dump_page():
...
else if (mapping) {
pr_warn("%ps ", mapping->a_ops);
if (mapping->host->i_dentry.first) {
struct dentry *dentry;
dentry = container_of(mapping->host->i_dentry.first, struct dentry, d_u.d_alias);
pr_warn("name:\"%pd\" ", dentry);
}
}
...
Swap address space does not contain an inode information, and so
mapping->host equals NULL.
Although the dump_page() call was added artificially into
do_swap_page(), I am not sure if we can hit this from any other path, so
it looks worth fixing it. We can easily do that by checking
mapping->host first.

mm: add support for kmem caches in DMA32 zone
Patch series "iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Use DMA32 zone for page tables",
v6.
This is a followup to the discussion in [1], [2].
IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables (level 1
and 2) to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit
systems.
For L1 tables that are bigger than a page, we can just use
__get_free_pages with GFP_DMA32 (on arm64 systems only, arm would still
use GFP_DMA).
For L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full
page, so we considered 3 approaches:
1. This series, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches.
2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page
tables (4096, so 4MB of memory).
3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse
freed fragments until the whole page is freed. [3]
This series is the most memory-efficient approach.
stable@ note:
We confirmed that this is a regression, and IOMMU errors happen on 4.19
and linux-next/master on MT8173 (elm, Acer Chromebook R13). The issue
most likely starts from commit

mm/memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn()
Aneesh has reported that PPC triggers the following warning when
excercising DAX code:
IP set_pte_at+0x3c/0x190

Call Trace:
insert_pfn+0x68/0x280

handle_page_fault+0x18
Now that is WARN_ON in set_pte_at which is
VM_WARN_ON(pte_hw_valid(*ptep) && !pte_protnone(*ptep));
The problem is that on some architectures set_pte_at() cannot cope with
a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.
Use ptep_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PTE.

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"

filemap: add a comment about FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT behavior
I thought Josef Bacik's patch to drop the mmap_sem was buggy, because when looking at the error cases, there was one case where we returned VM_FAULT_RETRY without actually dropping the mmap_sem. Josef had to explain to me (using small words) that yes, that's actually what we're supposed to do, and his patch was correct. Which not only convinced me he knew what he was doing and I should stop arguing with him, but also that I should add a comment to the case I was confused about.

filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations
Currently we only drop the mmap_sem if there is contention on the page lock. The idea is that we issue readahead and then go to lock the page while it is under IO and we want to not hold the mmap_sem during the IO. The problem with this is the assumption that the readahead does anything. In the case that the box is under extreme memory or IO pressure we may end up not reading anything at all for readahead, which means we will end up reading in the page under the mmap_sem. Even if the readahead does something, it could get throttled because of io pressure on the system and the process is in a lower priority cgroup. Holding the mmap_sem while doing IO is problematic because it can cause system-wide priority inversions. Consider some large company that does a lot of web traffic. This large company has load balancing logic in it's core web server, cause some engineer thought this was a brilliant plan. This load balancing logic gets statistics from /proc about the system, which trip over processes mmap_sem for various reasons. Now the web server application is in a protected cgroup, but these other processes may not be, and if they are being throttled while their mmap_sem is held we'll stall, and cause this nice death spiral. Instead rework filemap fault path to drop the mmap sem at any point that we may do IO or block for an extended period of time. This includes while issuing readahead, locking the page, or needing to call ->readpage because readahead did not occur. Then once we have a fully uptodate page we can return with VM_FAULT_RETRY and come back again to find our nicely in-cache page that was gotten outside of the mmap_sem. This patch also adds a new helper for locking the page with the mmap_sem dropped. This doesn't make sense currently as generally speaking if the page is already locked it'll have been read in (unless there was an error) before it was unlocked. However a forthcoming patchset will change this with the ability to abort read-ahead bio's if necessary, making it more likely that we could contend for a page lock and still have a not uptodate page. This allows us to deal with this case by grabbing the lock and issuing the IO without the mmap_sem held, and then returning VM_FAULT_RETRY to come back around.

filemap: kill page_cache_read usage in filemap_fault
Patch series "drop the mmap_sem when doing IO in the fault path", v6. Now that we have proper isolation in place with cgroups2 we have started going through and fixing the various priority inversions. Most are all gone now, but this one is sort of weird since it's not necessarily a priority inversion that happens within the kernel, but rather because of something userspace does. We have giant applications that we want to protect, and parts of these giant applications do things like watch the system state to determine how healthy the box is for load balancing and such. This involves running 'ps' or other such utilities. These utilities will often walk /proc/<pid>/whatever, and these files can sometimes need to down_read(&task->mmap_sem). Not usually a big deal, but we noticed when we are stress testing that sometimes our protected application has latency spikes trying to get the mmap_sem for tasks that are in lower priority cgroups. This is because any down_write() on a semaphore essentially turns it into a mutex, so even if we currently have it held for reading, any new readers will not be allowed on to keep from starving the writer. This is fine, except a lower priority task could be stuck doing IO because it has been throttled to the point that its IO is taking much longer than normal. But because a higher priority group depends on this completing it is now stuck behind lower priority work. In order to avoid this particular priority inversion we want to use the existing retry mechanism to stop from holding the mmap_sem at all if we are going to do IO. This already exists in the read case sort of, but needed to be extended for more than just grabbing the page lock. With io.latency we throttle at submit_bio() time, so the readahead stuff can block and even page_cache_read can block, so all these paths need to have the mmap_sem dropped. The other big thing is ->page_mkwrite. btrfs is particularly shitty here because we have to reserve space for the dirty page, which can be a very expensive operation. We use the same retry method as the read path, and simply cache the page and verify the page is still setup properly the next pass through ->page_mkwrite(). I've tested these patches with xfstests and there are no regressions. This patch (of 3): If we do not have a page at filemap_fault time we'll do this weird forced page_cache_read thing to populate the page, and then drop it again and loop around and find it. This makes for 2 ways we can read a page in filemap_fault, and it's not really needed. Instead add a FGP_FOR_MMAP flag so that pagecache_get_page() will return a unlocked page that's in pagecache. Then use the normal page locking and readpage logic already in filemap_fault. This simplifies the no page in page cache case significantly.

filemap: pass vm_fault to the mmap ra helpers
All of the arguments to these functions come from the vmf. Cut down on the amount of arguments passed by simply passing in the vmf to these two helpers.
