mm/hwpoison: put page in already hwpoisoned case with MF_COUNT_INCREASED
In already hwpoisoned case, memory_failure() is supposed to return with
releasing the page refcount taken for error handling. But currently the
refcount is not released when called with MF_COUNT_INCREASED, which makes
page refcount inconsistent. This should be rare and non-critical, but it
might be inconvenient in testing (unpoison doesn't work).

mm: wrap __find_buddy_pfn() with a necessary buddy page validation
Whenever the buddy of a page is found from __find_buddy_pfn(),
page_is_buddy() should be used to check its validity. Add a helper
function find_buddy_page_pfn() to find the buddy page and do the check
together.
__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.
It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.
__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.
__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.
__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.
This patch:
- removes __GFP_ATOMIC
- causes __GFP_HIGH to set ALLOC_HARDER unless __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is set
(as well as ALLOC_HIGH).
- makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.
The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges. This affects:
xen, dm, md, ntfs3
the vermillion frame buffer
hibernation
ksm
swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

mm/page_alloc: adding same penalty is enough to get round-robin order
To make node order in round-robin in the same distance group, we add a
penalty to the first node we got in each round.
To get a round-robin order in the same distance group, we don't need to
decrease the penalty since:
* find_next_best_node() always iterates node in the same order
* distance matters more then penalty in find_next_best_node()
* in nodes with the same distance, the first one would be picked up
So it is fine to increase same penalty when we get the first node in the
same distance group. Since we just increase a constance of 1 to node
penalty, it is not necessary to multiply MAX_NODE_LOAD for preference.

mm: avoid unnecessary flush on change_huge_pmd()
Calls to change_protection_range() on THP can trigger, at least on x86,
two TLB flushes for one page: one immediately, when pmdp_invalidate() is
called by change_huge_pmd(), and then another one later (that can be
batched) when change_protection_range() finishes.
The first TLB flush is only necessary to prevent the dirty bit (and with a
lesser importance the access bit) from changing while the PTE is modified.
However, this is not necessary as the x86 CPUs set the dirty-bit
atomically with an additional check that the PTE is (still) present. One
caveat is Intel's Knights Landing that has a bug and does not do so.
Leverage this behavior to eliminate the unnecessary TLB flush in
change_huge_pmd(). Introduce a new arch specific pmdp_invalidate_ad()
that only invalidates the access and dirty bit from further changes.

mm/mprotect: do not flush when not required architecturally
Currently, using mprotect() to unprotect a memory region or uffd to
unprotect a memory region causes a TLB flush. However, in such cases the
PTE is often not modified (i.e., remain RO) and therefore not TLB flush is
needed.
Add an arch-specific pte_needs_flush() which tells whether a TLB flush is
needed based on the old PTE and the new one. Implement an x86
pte_needs_flush().
Always flush the TLB when it is architecturally needed even when skipping
a TLB flush might only result in a spurious page-faults by skipping the
flush.
Even with such conservative manner, we can in the future further refine
the checks to test whether a PTE is present by only considering the
architectural _PAGE_PRESENT flag instead of {pte|pmd}_preesnt(). For not
be careful and use the latter.

mm/mprotect: use mmu_gather
Patch series "mm/mprotect: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes", v6.
This patchset is intended to remove unnecessary TLB flushes during
mprotect() syscalls. Once this patch-set make it through, similar and
further optimizations for MADV_COLD and userfaultfd would be possible.
Basically, there are 3 optimizations in this patch-set:
1. Use TLB batching infrastructure to batch flushes across VMAs and do
better/fewer flushes. This would also be handy for later userfaultfd
enhancements.
2. Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes. This optimization is the one that
provides most of the performance benefits. Unlike previous versions,
we now only avoid flushes that would not result in spurious
page-faults.
3. Avoiding TLB flushes on change_huge_pmd() that are only needed to
prevent the A/D bits from changing.
Andrew asked for some benchmark numbers. I do not have an easy
determinate macrobenchmark in which it is easy to show benefit. I
therefore ran a microbenchmark: a loop that does the following on
anonymous memory, just as a sanity check to see that time is saved by
avoiding TLB flushes. The loop goes:
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ)
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
*p = 0; // make the page writable
The test was run in KVM guest with 1 or 2 threads (the second thread was
busy-looping). I measured the time (cycles) of each operation:
The exact numbers are really meaningless, but the benefit is clear. There
are 2 interesting results though.
(1) PROT_READ is cheaper, while one can expect it not to be affected.
This is presumably due to TLB miss that is saved
(2) Without memory access (*p = 0), the speedup of the patch is even
greater. In that scenario mprotect(PROT_READ) also avoids the TLB flush.
As a result both operations on the patched kernel take roughly ~1500
cycles (with either 1 or 2 threads), whereas on mmotm their cost is as
high as presented in the table.
This patch (of 3):
change_pXX_range() currently does not use mmu_gather, but instead
implements its own deferred TLB flushes scheme. This both complicates the
code, as developers need to be aware of different invalidation schemes,
and prevents opportunities to avoid TLB flushes or perform them in finer
granularity.
The use of mmu_gather for modified PTEs has benefits in various scenarios
even if pages are not released. For instance, if only a single page needs
to be flushed out of a range of many pages, only that page would be
flushed. If a THP page is flushed, on x86 a single TLB invlpg instruction
can be used instead of 512 instructions (or a full TLB flush, which would
Linux would actually use by default). mprotect() over multiple VMAs
requires a single flush.
Use mmu_gather in change_pXX_range(). As the pages are not released, only
record the flushed range using tlb_flush_pXX_range().
Handle THP similarly and get rid of flush_cache_range() which becomes
redundant since tlb_start_vma() calls it when needed.

Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()", v4.
protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given
vm_flags combination. This array contains page protection map, which is
populated by the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111]
exported macros. Primary usage for protection_map[] is for
vm_get_page_prot(), which is used to determine page protection value for a
given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot() implementation, could again call
platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some
platforms override protection_map[] that was originally built with
__SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values.
Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX
macros, protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()
built between the platform and generic MM, finally defining
vm_get_page_prot().
Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and
instead just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the
platform (still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it
clean and simple.
This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the
platforms to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting
platforms that define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or
arch_vm_get_page_prot() which enables for those constructs to be dropped
off completely.
The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig
Add a new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which when subscribed enables
a given platform to define its own vm_get_page_prot() but still utilizing
the generic protection_map[] array.

protection_map[] maps vm_flags access combinations into page protection
value as defined by the platform via __PXXX and __SXXX macros. The array
indices in protection_map[], represents vm_flags access combinations but
it's not very intuitive to derive. This makes it clear and explicit.
Although protection_map[] contains the platform defined page protection
map for a given vm_flags combination, vm_get_page_prot() is the right
interface to use. This will also reduce dependency on protection_map[]
which is going to be dropped off completely later on.

mm: submit multipage reads for SWP_FS_OPS swap-space
swap_readpage() is given one page at a time, but may be called repeatedly
in succession.
For block-device swap-space, the blk_plug functionality allows the
multiple pages to be combined together at lower layers. That cannot be
used for SWP_FS_OPS as blk_plug may not exist - it is only active when
CONFIG_BLOCK=y. Consequently all swap reads over NFS are single page
reads.
With this patch we pass in a pointer-to-pointer when swap_readpage can

mm: perform async writes to SWP_FS_OPS swap-space using ->swap_rw
This patch switches swap-out to SWP_FS_OPS swap-spaces to use ->swap_rw
and makes the writes asynchronous, like they are for other swap spaces.
To make it async we need to allocate the kiocb struct from a mempool.
This may block, but won't block as long as waiting for the write to
complete. At most it will wait for some previous swap IO to complete.

mm: introduce ->swap_rw and use it for reads from SWP_FS_OPS swap-space
swap currently uses ->readpage to read swap pages. This can only request
one page at a time from the filesystem, which is not most efficient.
swap uses ->direct_IO for writes which while this is adequate is an
inappropriate over-loading. ->direct_IO may need to had handle allocate
space for holes or other details that are not relevant for swap.
So this patch introduces a new address_space operation: ->swap_rw. In
this patch it is used for reads, and a subsequent patch will switch writes
to use it.
No filesystem yet supports ->swap_rw, but that is not a problem because
no filesystem actually works with filesystem-based swap.
Only two filesystems set SWP_FS_OPS:
- cifs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO always fails so swap cannot work.
- nfs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO calls generic_write_checks()
which has failed on swap files for several releases.
To ensure that a NULL ->swap_rw isn't called, ->activate_swap() for both
NFS and cifs are changed to fail if ->swap_rw is not set. This can be
removed if/when the function is added.
Future patches will restore swap-over-NFS functionality.
To submit an async read with ->swap_rw() we need to allocate a structure
to hold the kiocb and other details. swap_readpage() cannot handle
transient failure, so we create a mempool to provide the structures.

mm: reclaim mustn't enter FS for SWP_FS_OPS swap-space
If swap-out is using filesystem operations (SWP_FS_OPS), then it is not
safe to enter the FS for reclaim. So only down-grade the requirement for
swap pages to __GFP_IO after checking that SWP_FS_OPS are not being used.
This makes the calculation of "may_enter_fs" slightly more complex, so
move it into a separate function. with that done, there is little value
in maintaining the bool variable any more. So replace the may_enter_fs
variable with a may_enter_fs() function. This removes any risk for the
variable becoming out-of-date.

mm: move responsibility for setting SWP_FS_OPS to ->swap_activate
If a filesystem wishes to handle all swap IO itself (via ->direct_IO and
->readpage), rather than just providing devices addresses for
submit_bio(), SWP_FS_OPS must be set.
Currently the protocol for setting this it to have ->swap_activate return
zero. In that case SWP_FS_OPS is set, and add_swap_extent() is called for
the entire file.
This is a little clumsy as different return values for ->swap_activate
have quite different meanings, and it makes it hard to search for which
filesystems require SWP_FS_OPS to be set.
So remove the special meaning of a zero return, and require the filesystem
to set SWP_FS_OPS if it so desires, and to always call add_swap_extent()
as required.
Currently only NFS and CIFS return zero for add_swap_extent().

folios that are written to swap are owned by the MM subsystem - not any
filesystem.
When such a folio is passed to a filesystem to be written out to a
swap-file, the filesystem handles the data, but the folio itself does not
belong to the filesystem. So calling the filesystem's ->dirty_folio()
address_space operation makes no sense. This is for folios in the given
address space, and a folio to be written to swap does not exist in the
given address space.
So drop swap_dirty_folio() which calls the address-space's
->dirty_folio(), and always use noop_dirty_folio(), which is appropriate
for folios being swapped out.

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".
Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.
This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.
Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This
series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and
->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements.
There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.
This patch (of 10):
Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/
Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.
Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

mm/swap: remember PG_anon_exclusive via a swp pte bit
Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 3: reliable GUP R/W FOLL_GET of anonymous pages", v2.
This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP R/W reference (FOLL_WRITE
| FOLL_GET) was taken on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect
exclusivity of the page to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in
the page table: The GUP reference lost synchronicity with the pages mapped
into the page tables. This series focuses on x86, arm64, s390x and
ppc64/book3s -- other architectures are fairly easy to support by
implementing __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE.
This primarily fixes the O_DIRECT memory corruptions that can happen on
concurrent swapout, whereby we lose DMA reads to a page (modifying the
user page by writing to it).
O_DIRECT currently uses FOLL_GET for short-term (!FOLL_LONGTERM) DMA
from/to a user page. In the long run, we want to convert it to properly
use FOLL_PIN, and John is working on it, but that might take a while and
might not be easy to backport. In the meantime, let's restore what used
to work before we started modifying our COW logic: make R/W FOLL_GET
references reliable as long as there is no fork() after GUP involved.
This is just the natural follow-up of part 2, that will also further
reduce "wrong COW" on the swapin path, for example, when we cannot remove
a page from the swapcache due to concurrent writeback, or if we have two
threads faulting on the same swapped-out page. Fixing O_DIRECT is just a
nice side-product
This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3]
under 2):
"
2. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_GET)
It was discovered that we can create a memory corruption by reading a
file via O_DIRECT to a part (e.g., first 512 bytes) of a page,
concurrently writing to an unrelated part (e.g., last byte) of the same
page, and concurrently write-protecting the page via clear_refs
SOFTDIRTY tracking [6].
For the reproducer, the issue is that O_DIRECT grabs a reference of the
target page (via FOLL_GET) and clear_refs write-protects the relevant
page table entry. On successive write access to the page from the
process itself, we wrongly COW the page when resolving the write fault,
resulting in a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption.
While some people might think that using clear_refs in this combination
is a corner cases, it turns out to be a more generic problem unfortunately.
For example, it was just recently discovered that we can similarly
create a memory corruption without clear_refs, simply by concurrently
swapping out the buffer pages [7]. Note that we nowadays even use the
swap infrastructure in Linux without an actual swap disk/partition: the
prime example is zram which is enabled as default under Fedora [10].
The root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has additional
references results in a COW and thereby a loss of synchronicity
and consequently a memory corruption if two parties believe they are
referencing the same page.
"
We don't particularly care about R/O FOLL_GET references: they were never
reliable and O_DIRECT doesn't expect to observe modifications from a page
after DMA was started.
Note that:
* this only fixes the issue on x86, arm64, s390x and ppc64/book3s
("enterprise architectures"). Other architectures have to implement
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE to achieve the same.
* this does *not * consider any kind of fork() after taking the reference:
fork() after GUP never worked reliably with FOLL_GET.
* Not losing PG_anon_exclusive during swapout was the last remaining
piece. KSM already makes sure that there are no other references on
a page before considering it for sharing. Page migration maintains
PG_anon_exclusive and simply fails when there are additional references
(freezing the refcount fails). Only swapout code dropped the
PG_anon_exclusive flag because it requires more work to remember +
restore it.
With this series in place, most COW issues of [3] are fixed on said
architectures. Other architectures can implement
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE fairly easily.
Currently, we clear PG_anon_exclusive in try_to_unmap() and forget about
it. We do this, to keep fork() logic on swap entries easy and efficient:
for example, if we wouldn't clear it when unmapping, we'd have to lookup
the page in the swapcache for each and every swap entry during fork() and
clear PG_anon_exclusive if set.
Instead, we want to store that information directly in the swap pte,
protected by the page table lock, similarly to how we handle
SWP_MIGRATION_READ_EXCLUSIVE for migration entries. However, for actual
swap entries, we don't want to mess with the swap type (e.g., still one
bit) because it overcomplicates swap code.
In try_to_unmap(), we already reject to unmap in case the page might be
pinned, because we must not lose PG_anon_exclusive on pinned pages ever.
Checking if there are other unexpected references reliably *before*
completely unmapping a page is unfortunately not really possible: THP
heavily overcomplicate the situation. Once fully unmapped it's easier --
we, for example, make sure that there are no unexpected references *after*
unmapping a page before starting writeback on that page.
So, we currently might end up unmapping a page and clearing
PG_anon_exclusive if that page has additional references, for example, due
to a FOLL_GET.
do_swap_page() has to re-determine if a page is exclusive, which will
easily fail if there are other references on a page, most prominently GUP
references via FOLL_GET. This can currently result in memory corruptions
when taking a FOLL_GET | FOLL_WRITE reference on a page even when fork()
is never involved: try_to_unmap() will succeed, and when refaulting the
page, it cannot be marked exclusive and will get replaced by a copy in the
page tables on the next write access, resulting in writes via the GUP
reference to the page being lost.
In an ideal world, everybody that uses GUP and wants to modify page
content, such as O_DIRECT, would properly use FOLL_PIN. However, that
conversion will take a while. It's easier to fix what used to work in the
past (FOLL_GET | FOLL_WRITE) remembering PG_anon_exclusive. In addition,
by remembering PG_anon_exclusive we can further reduce unnecessary COW in
some cases, so it's the natural thing to do.
So let's transfer the PG_anon_exclusive information to the swap pte and
store it via an architecture-dependant pte bit; use that information when
restoring the swap pte in do_swap_page() and unuse_pte(). During fork(),
we simply have to clear the pte bit and are done.
Of course, there is one corner case to handle: swap backends that don't
support concurrent page modifications while the page is under writeback.
Special case these, and drop the exclusive marker. Add a comment why that
is just fine (also, reuse_swap_page() would have done the same in the
past).
In the future, we'll hopefully have all architectures support
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE, such that we can get rid of the empty stubs
and the define completely. Then, we can also convert
SWP_MIGRATION_READ_EXCLUSIVE. For architectures it's fairly easy to
support: either simply use a yet unused pte bit that can be used for swap
entries, steal one from the arch type bits if they exceed 5, or steal one
from the offset bits.
Note: R/O FOLL_GET references were never really reliable, especially when
taking one on a shared page and then writing to the page (e.g., GUP after
fork()). FOLL_GET, including R/W references, were never really reliable
once fork was involved (e.g., GUP before fork(), GUP during fork()). KSM
steps back in case it stumbles over unexpected references and is,
therefore, fine.

mm/gup: sanity-check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM that anonymous pages are exclusive when (un)pinning
Let's verify when (un)pinning anonymous pages that we always deal with
exclusive anonymous pages, which guarantees that we'll have a reliable
PIN, meaning that we cannot end up with the GUP pin being inconsistent
with he pages mapped into the page tables due to a COW triggered by a
write fault.
When pinning pages, after conditionally triggering GUP unsharing of
possibly shared anonymous pages, we should always only see exclusive
anonymous pages. Note that anonymous pages that are mapped writable must
be marked exclusive, otherwise we'd have a BUG.
When pinning during ordinary GUP, simply add a check after our conditional
GUP-triggered unsharing checks. As we know exactly how the page is
mapped, we know exactly in which page we have to check for
PageAnonExclusive().
When pinning via GUP-fast we have to be careful, because we can race with
fork(): verify only after we made sure via the seqcount that we didn't
race with concurrent fork() that we didn't end up pinning a possibly
shared anonymous page.
Similarly, when unpinning, verify that the pages are still marked as
exclusive: otherwise something turned the pages possibly shared, which can
result in random memory corruptions, which we really want to catch.
With only the pinned pages at hand and not the actual page table entries
we have to be a bit careful: hugetlb pages are always mapped via a single
logical page table entry referencing the head page and PG_anon_exclusive
of the head page applies. Anon THP are a bit more complicated, because we
might have obtained the page reference either via a PMD or a PTE --
depending on the mapping type we either have to check PageAnonExclusive of
the head page (PMD-mapped THP) or the tail page (PTE-mapped THP) applies:
as we don't know and to make our life easier, check that either is set.
Take care to not verify in case we're unpinning during GUP-fast because we
detected concurrent fork(): we might stumble over an anonymous page that
is now shared.

mm/gup: trigger FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE when R/O-pinning a possibly shared anonymous page
Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that
might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault
on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page
due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the

The possible ways to deal with this situation are:
(1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now.
(2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and
could break user space.
(3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O
pins.
Let's implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and allows
for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs: when
trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something went
very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard to
debug. So we better have a nice way to spot such issues.
This change implies that whenever user space *wrote* to a private mapping
(IOW, we have an anonymous page mapped), that GUP pins will always remain
consistent: reliable R/O GUP pins of anonymous pages.
As a side note, this commit fixes the COW security issue for hugetlb with
FOLL_PIN as documented in:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com
The vmsplice reproducer still applies, because vmsplice uses FOLL_GET
instead of FOLL_PIN.
Note that follow_huge_pmd() doesn't apply because we cannot end up in
there with FOLL_PIN.

FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE is only applicable to R/O mapped
anonymous pages and resembles COW logic during a write fault. However, in
contrast to a write fault, GUP-triggered unsharing will, for example,
still maintain the write protection.
Let's implement FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE by hooking into the existing write
fault handlers for all applicable anonymous page types: ordinary pages,
THP and hugetlb.
* If FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE finds a R/O-mapped anonymous page that has been
marked exclusive in the meantime by someone else, there is nothing to do.
* If FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE finds a R/O-mapped anonymous page that's not
marked exclusive, it will try detecting if the process is the exclusive
owner. If exclusive, it can be set exclusive similar to reuse logic
during write faults via page_move_anon_rmap() and there is nothing
else to do; otherwise, we either have to copy and map a fresh,
anonymous exclusive page R/O (ordinary pages, hugetlb), or split the
THP.

mm/gup: disallow follow_page(FOLL_PIN)
We want to change the way we handle R/O pins on anonymous pages that might
be shared: if we detect a possibly shared anonymous page -- mapped R/O and
not !PageAnonExclusive() -- we want to trigger unsharing via a page fault,
resulting in an exclusive anonymous page that can be pinned reliably
without getting replaced via COW on the next write fault.
However, the required page fault will be problematic for follow_page(): in
contrast to ordinary GUP, follow_page() doesn't trigger faults internally.
So we would have to end up failing a R/O pin via follow_page(), although
there is something mapped R/O into the page table, which might be rather
surprising.
We don't seem to have follow_page(FOLL_PIN) users, and it's a purely
internal MM function. Let's just make our life easier and the semantics
of follow_page() clearer by just disallowing FOLL_PIN for follow_page()
completely.

mm: remember exclusively mapped anonymous pages with PG_anon_exclusive
Let's mark exclusively mapped anonymous pages with PG_anon_exclusive as
exclusive, and use that information to make GUP pins reliable and stay
consistent with the page mapped into the page table even if the page table
entry gets write-protected.
With that information at hand, we can extend our COW logic to always reuse
anonymous pages that are exclusive. For anonymous pages that might be
shared, the existing logic applies.
As already documented, PG_anon_exclusive is usually only expressive in
combination with a page table entry. Especially PTE vs. PMD-mapped
anonymous pages require more thought, some examples: due to mremap() we
can easily have a single compound page PTE-mapped into multiple page
tables exclusively in a single process -- multiple page table locks apply.
Further, due to MADV_WIPEONFORK we might not necessarily write-protect
all PTEs, and only some subpages might be pinned. Long story short: once
PTE-mapped, we have to track information about exclusivity per sub-page,
but until then, we can just track it for the compound page in the head
page and not having to update a whole bunch of subpages all of the time
for a simple PMD mapping of a THP.
For simplicity, this commit mostly talks about "anonymous pages", while
it's for THP actually "the part of an anonymous folio referenced via a
page table entry".
To not spill PG_anon_exclusive code all over the mm code-base, we let the
anon rmap code to handle all PG_anon_exclusive logic it can easily handle.
If a writable, present page table entry points at an anonymous (sub)page,
that (sub)page must be PG_anon_exclusive. If GUP wants to take a reliably
pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page references via a present page table
entry, it must only pin if PG_anon_exclusive is set for the mapped
(sub)page.
This commit doesn't adjust GUP, so this is only implicitly handled for
FOLL_WRITE, follow-up commits will teach GUP to also respect it for
FOLL_PIN without !FOLL_WRITE, to make all GUP pins of anonymous pages
fully reliable.
Whenever an anonymous page is to be shared (fork(), KSM), or when
temporarily unmapping an anonymous page (swap, migration), the relevant
PG_anon_exclusive bit has to be cleared to mark the anonymous page
possibly shared. Clearing will fail if there are GUP pins on the page:
* For fork(), this means having to copy the page and not being able to
share it. fork() protects against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and
the src_mm->write_protect_seq.
* For KSM, this means sharing will fail. For swap this means, unmapping
will fail, For migration this means, migration will fail early. All
three cases protect against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and a
proper clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry.
This fixes memory corruptions reported for FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE, when a
pinned page gets mapped R/O and the successive write fault ends up
replacing the page instead of reusing it. It improves the situation for
O_DIRECT/vmsplice/... that still use FOLL_GET instead of FOLL_PIN, if
fork() is *not* involved, however swapout and fork() are still
problematic. Properly using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET for these GUP
users will fix the issue for them.
I. Details about basic handling
I.1. Fresh anonymous pages
page_add_new_anon_rmap() and hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() will mark the
given page exclusive via __page_set_anon_rmap(exclusive=1). As that is
the mechanism fresh anonymous pages come into life (besides migration code
where we copy the page->mapping), all fresh anonymous pages will start out
as exclusive.
I.2. COW reuse handling of anonymous pages
When a COW handler stumbles over a (sub)page that's marked exclusive, it
simply reuses it. Otherwise, the handler tries harder under page lock to
detect if the (sub)page is exclusive and can be reused. If exclusive,
page_move_anon_rmap() will mark the given (sub)page exclusive.
Note that hugetlb code does not yet check for PageAnonExclusive(), as it
still uses the old COW logic that is prone to the COW security issue
because hugetlb code cannot really tolerate unnecessary/wrong COW as huge
pages are a scarce resource.
I.3. Migration handling
try_to_migrate() has to try marking an exclusive anonymous page shared via
page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the
page, unmap fails. migrate_vma_collect_pmd() and
__split_huge_pmd_locked() are handled similarly.
Writable migration entries implicitly point at shared anonymous pages.
For readable migration entries that information is stored via a new
"readable-exclusive" migration entry, specific to anonymous pages.
When restoring a migration entry in remove_migration_pte(), information
about exlusivity is detected via the migration entry type, and
RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is set accordingly for
page_add_anon_rmap()/hugepage_add_anon_rmap() to restore that information.
I.4. Swapout handling
try_to_unmap() has to try marking the mapped page possibly shared via
page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the
page, unmap fails. For now, information about exclusivity is lost. In
the future, we might want to remember that information in the swap entry
in some cases, however, it requires more thought, care, and a way to store
that information in swap entries.
I.5. Swapin handling
do_swap_page() will never stumble over exclusive anonymous pages in the
swap cache, as try_to_migrate() prohibits that. do_swap_page() always has
to detect manually if an anonymous page is exclusive and has to set
RMAP_EXCLUSIVE for page_add_anon_rmap() accordingly.
I.6. THP handling
__split_huge_pmd_locked() has to move the information about exclusivity
from the PMD to the PTEs.
a) In case we have a readable-exclusive PMD migration entry, simply
insert readable-exclusive PTE migration entries.
b) In case we have a present PMD entry and we don't want to freeze
("convert to migration entries"), simply forward PG_anon_exclusive to
all sub-pages, no need to temporarily clear the bit.
c) In case we have a present PMD entry and want to freeze, handle it
similar to try_to_migrate(): try marking the page shared first. In
case we fail, we ignore the "freeze" instruction and simply split
ordinarily. try_to_migrate() will properly fail because the THP is
still mapped via PTEs.
When splitting a compound anonymous folio (THP), the information about
exclusivity is implicitly handled via the migration entries: no need to
replicate PG_anon_exclusive manually.
I.7. fork() handling
fork() handling is relatively easy, because PG_anon_exclusive is only
expressive for some page table entry types.
a) Present anonymous pages
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared -- which
will fail if the page is pinned. If it failed, we have to copy (or
PTE-map a PMD to handle it on the PTE level).
Note that device exclusive entries are just a pointer at a
PageAnon() page. fork() will first convert a device exclusive entry to
a present page table and handle it just like present anonymous pages.
b) Device private entry
Device private entries point at PageAnon() pages that cannot be
mapped directly and, therefore, cannot get pinned.
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared, which
cannot fail because they cannot get pinned.
c) HW poison entries
PG_anon_exclusive will remain untouched and is stale -- the page
table entry is just a placeholder after all.
d) Migration entries
Writable and readable-exclusive entries are converted to readable
entries: possibly shared.
I.8. mprotect() handling
mprotect() only has to properly handle the new readable-exclusive
migration entry:
When write-protecting a migration entry that points at an anonymous page,
remember the information about exclusivity via the "readable-exclusive"
migration entry type.
II. Migration and GUP-fast
Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive
anonymous page by a migration entry, we have to mark the page possibly
shared and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush
to make the following scenario impossible:
1. try_to_migrate() places a migration entry after checking for GUP pins
and marks the page possibly shared.
2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization
3. fork() converts the "writable/readable-exclusive" migration entry into a
readable migration entry
4. Migration fails due to the GUP pin (failing to freeze the refcount)
5. Migration entries are restored. PG_anon_exclusive is lost
-> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore.
Note that we move information about exclusivity from the page to the
migration entry as it otherwise highly overcomplicates fork() and
PTE-mapping a THP.
III. Swapout and GUP-fast
Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive
anonymous page by a swap entry, we have to mark the page possibly shared
and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush to
make the following scenario impossible:
1. try_to_unmap() places a swap entry after checking for GUP pins and
clears exclusivity information on the page.
2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization.
-> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore.
If we'd ever store information about exclusivity in the swap entry,
similar to migration handling, the same considerations as in II would
apply. This is future work.

mm/page-flags: reuse PG_mappedtodisk as PG_anon_exclusive for PageAnon() pages
The basic question we would like to have a reliable and efficient answer
to is: is this anonymous page exclusive to a single process or might it be
shared? We need that information for ordinary/single pages, hugetlb
pages, and possibly each subpage of a THP.
Introduce a way to mark an anonymous page as exclusive, with the ultimate
goal of teaching our COW logic to not do "wrong COWs", whereby GUP pins
lose consistency with the pages mapped into the page table, resulting in
reported memory corruptions.
Most pageflags already have semantics for anonymous pages, however,
PG_mappedtodisk should never apply to pages in the swapcache, so let's
reuse that flag.
As PG_has_hwpoisoned also uses that flag on the second tail page of a
compound page, convert it to PG_error instead, which is marked as
PF_NO_TAIL, so never used for tail pages.
Use custom page flag modification functions such that we can do additional
sanity checks. The semantics we'll put into some kernel doc in the future
are:
"
PG_anon_exclusive is *usually* only expressive in combination with a
page table entry. Depending on the page table entry type it might
store the following information:
Is what's mapped via this page table entry exclusive to the
single process and can be mapped writable without further
checks? If not, it might be shared and we might have to COW.
For now, we only expect PTE-mapped THPs to make use of
PG_anon_exclusive in subpages. For other anonymous compound
folios (i.e., hugetlb), only the head page is logically mapped and
holds this information.
For example, an exclusive, PMD-mapped THP only has PG_anon_exclusive
set on the head page. When replacing the PMD by a page table full
of PTEs, PG_anon_exclusive, if set on the head page, will be set on
all tail pages accordingly. Note that converting from a PTE-mapping
to a PMD mapping using the same compound page is currently not
possible and consequently doesn't require care.
If GUP wants to take a reliable pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page,
it should only pin if the relevant PG_anon_bit is set. In that case,
the pin will be fully reliable and stay consistent with the pages
mapped into the page table, as the bit cannot get cleared (e.g., by
fork(), KSM) while the page is pinned. For anonymous pages that
are mapped R/W, PG_anon_exclusive can be assumed to always be set
because such pages cannot possibly be shared.
The page table lock protecting the page table entry is the primary
synchronization mechanism for PG_anon_exclusive; GUP-fast that does
not take the PT lock needs special care when trying to clear the
flag.
Page table entry types and PG_anon_exclusive:
* Present: PG_anon_exclusive applies.
* Swap: the information is lost. PG_anon_exclusive was cleared.
* Migration: the entry holds this information instead.
PG_anon_exclusive was cleared.
* Device private: PG_anon_exclusive applies.
* Device exclusive: PG_anon_exclusive applies.
* HW Poison: PG_anon_exclusive is stale and not changed.
If the page may be pinned (FOLL_PIN), clearing PG_anon_exclusive is
not allowed and the flag will stick around until the page is freed
and folio->mapping is cleared.
"
We won't be clearing PG_anon_exclusive on destructive unmapping (i.e.,
zapping) of page table entries, page freeing code will handle that when
also invalidate page->mapping to not indicate PageAnon() anymore. Letting
information about exclusivity stick around will be an important property
when adding sanity checks to unpinning code.
Note that we properly clear the flag in free_pages_prepare() via
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP for each individual subpage of a compound page,
so there is no need to manually clear the flag.

mm/huge_memory: remove outdated VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE from unmap_page()
We can already theoretically fail to unmap (still having page_mapped()) in
case arch_unmap_one() fails, which can happen on sparc. Failures to unmap
are handled gracefully, just as if there are other references on the
target page: freezing the refcount in split_huge_page_to_list() will fail
if still mapped and we'll simply remap.
In commit 504e070dc08f ("mm: thp: replace DEBUG_VM BUG with VM_WARN when

let's get rid of it completely now.

mm/rmap: fix missing swap_free() in try_to_unmap() after arch_unmap_one() failed
Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 2: reliable GUP pins of anonymous pages", v3.
This series is the result of the discussion on the previous approach [2].
More information on the general COW issues can be found there. It is
based on latest linus/master (post v5.17, with relevant core-MM changes
for v5.18-rc1).
This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP pin (FOLL_PIN) was taken
on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page
to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP
pin lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables.
This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3]
under 3):
"
3. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_PIN)
page_maybe_dma_pinned() is used to check if a page may be pinned for
DMA (using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET). While false positives are
tolerable, false negatives are problematic: pages that are pinned for
DMA must not be added to the swapcache. If it happens, the (now pinned)
page could be faulted back from the swapcache into page tables
read-only. Future write-access would detect the pinning and COW the
page, losing synchronicity. For the interested reader, this is nicely
documented in feb889fb40fa ("mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap
cache").
Peter reports [8] that page_maybe_dma_pinned() as used is racy in some
cases and can result in a violation of the documented semantics: giving
false negatives because of the race.
There are cases where we call it without properly taking a per-process
sequence lock, turning the usage of page_maybe_dma_pinned() racy. While
one case (clear_refs SOFTDIRTY tracking, see below) seems to be easy to
handle, there is especially one rmap case (shrink_page_list) that's hard
to fix: in the rmap world, we're not limited to a single process.
The shrink_page_list() issue is really subtle. If we race with
someone pinning a page, we can trigger the same issue as in the FOLL_GET
case. See the detail section at the end of this mail on a discussion
how bad this can bite us with VFIO or other FOLL_PIN user.
It's harder to reproduce, but I managed to modify the O_DIRECT
reproducer to use io_uring fixed buffers [15] instead, which ends up
using FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM to pin buffer pages and can
similarly trigger a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory
corruption.
Again, the root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has
additional references results in a COW and thereby a loss of
synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption if two parties
believe they are referencing the same page.
"
This series makes GUP pins (R/O and R/W) on anonymous pages fully
reliable, especially also taking care of concurrent pinning via GUP-fast,
for example, also fully fixing an issue reported regarding NUMA balancing
[4] recently. While doing that, it further reduces "unnecessary COWs",
especially when we don't fork()/KSM and don't swapout, and fixes the COW
security for hugetlb for FOLL_PIN.
In summary, we track via a pageflag (PG_anon_exclusive) whether a mapped
anonymous page is exclusive. Exclusive anonymous pages that are mapped
R/O can directly be mapped R/W by the COW logic in the write fault
handler. Exclusive anonymous pages that want to be shared (fork(), KSM)
first have to be marked shared -- which will fail if there are GUP pins on
the page. GUP is only allowed to take a pin on anonymous pages that are
exclusive. The PT lock is the primary mechanism to synchronize
modifications of PG_anon_exclusive. We synchronize against GUP-fast
either via the src_mm->write_protect_seq (during fork()) or via
clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry.
Special care has to be taken about swap, migration, and THPs (whereby a
PMD-mapping can be converted to a PTE mapping and we have to track
information for subpages). Besides these, we let the rmap code handle
most magic. For reliable R/O pins of anonymous pages, we need
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE logic as part of our previous approach [2], however,
it's now 100% mapcount free and I further simplified it a bit.
#1 is a fix
#3-#10 are mostly rmap preparations for PG_anon_exclusive handling
#11 introduces PG_anon_exclusive
#12 uses PG_anon_exclusive and make R/W pins of anonymous pages
reliable
#13 is a preparation for reliable R/O pins
#14 and #15 is reused/modified GUP-triggered unsharing for R/O GUP pins
make R/O pins of anonymous pages reliable
#16 adds sanity check when (un)pinning anonymous pages

identification can be sped up if the page information allocated by an
allocator can be analyzed separately.
This patch provides supports for memory allocator labelling for slab,
vmalloc, and cma. The pages allocated by slab and cma can be confirmed
from the "PFN" line according to the kernel codes, and the label of the
vmalloc allocator can be obtained by analyzing the stack trace. Thanks

Based on Yinan Zhang's study, the call chain of vmalloc() is vmalloc() ->
... -> __vmalloc_node_range() -> __vmalloc_area_node().
__vmalloc_area_node() requests memory through the interface of buddy
allocation system. In the current version, __vmalloc_area_node() uses
four interfaces: alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy(),
alloc_pages_bulk_array_node(), alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_node(). By
disassembling the code, we find that __vmalloc_area_node() is expanded in
__vmalloc_node_range(). So __vmalloc_area_node is not in the stack trace.
On the test machine, the stack trace of pages allocated by vmalloc has the
following four forms:
Therefore, in two consecutive lines of stacktrace, if the first line
contains the word "alloc_pages" and the second line contains the word
"__vmalloc_node_range", it can be determined that the page is allocated by
vmalloc. And the function offset and size are not the same on different
machines, so there is no need to match them.
At the same time, this patch updates the --cull and --sort options to
support allocator-based merge statistics and sorting. The added functions
are fully compatible with the original work. When using, you can use
"allocator", or abbreviated as "ator". Relevant updates have also been
made in the documentation(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst).

procfs: prevent unprivileged processes accessing fdinfo dir
The file permissions on the fdinfo dir from were changed from
S_IRUSR|S_IXUSR to S_IRUGO|S_IXUGO, and a PTRACE_MODE_READ check was added
for opening the fdinfo files [1]. However, the ptrace permission check
was not added to the directory, allowing anyone to get the open FD numbers
by reading the fdinfo directory.
Add the missing ptrace permission check for opening the fdinfo directory.
The reason for the panic is that stable_page_flags() which parses the page
flags uses uninitialized struct pages reserved by the ZONE_DEVICE driver.
Earlier approach to fix this was discussed here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=152964770000672&w=2
This is another approach. To avoid using the uninitialized struct page,
immediately return with KPF_RESERVED at the beginning of
stable_page_flags() if the page is reserved by ZONE_DEVICE driver.

memcg: sync flush only if periodic flush is delayed
Daniel Dao has reported [1] a regression on workloads that may trigger a
lot of refaults (anon and file). The underlying issue is that flushing
rstat is expensive. Although rstat flush are batched with (nr_cpus *
MEMCG_BATCH) stat updates, it seems like there are workloads which
genuinely do stat updates larger than batch value within short amount of
time. Since the rstat flush can happen in the performance critical
codepaths like page faults, such workload can suffer greatly.
This patch fixes this regression by making the rstat flushing conditional
in the performance critical codepaths. More specifically, the kernel
relies on the async periodic rstat flusher to flush the stats and only if
the periodic flusher is delayed by more than twice the amount of its
normal time window then the kernel allows rstat flushing from the
performance critical codepaths.
Now the question: what are the side-effects of this change? The worst
that can happen is the refault codepath will see 4sec old lruvec stats and
may cause false (or missed) activations of the refaulted page which may
under-or-overestimate the workingset size. Though that is not very
concerning as the kernel can already miss or do false activations.
There are two more codepaths whose flushing behavior is not changed by
this patch and we may need to come to them in future. One is the
writeback stats used by dirty throttling and second is the deactivation
heuristic in the reclaim. For now keeping an eye on them and if there is
report of regression due to these codepaths, we will reevaluate then.

mm/vmalloc: fix spinning drain_vmap_work after reading from /proc/vmcore
Commit 3ee48b6af49c ("mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of
vmas") introduced set_iounmap_nonlazy(), which sets vmap_lazy_nr to
lazy_max_pages() + 1, ensuring that any future vunmaps() immediately purge
the vmap areas instead of doing it lazily.
Commit 690467c81b1a ("mm/vmalloc: Move draining areas out of caller
context") moved the purging from the vunmap() caller to a worker thread.
Unfortunately, set_iounmap_nonlazy() can cause the worker thread to spin
(possibly forever). For example, consider the following scenario:
1. Thread reads from /proc/vmcore. This eventually calls
__copy_oldmem_page() -> set_iounmap_nonlazy(), which sets
vmap_lazy_nr to lazy_max_pages() + 1.
2. Then it calls free_vmap_area_noflush() (via iounmap()), which adds 2
pages (one page plus the guard page) to the purge list and
vmap_lazy_nr. vmap_lazy_nr is now lazy_max_pages() + 3, so the
drain_vmap_work is scheduled.
3. Thread returns from the kernel and is scheduled out.
4. Worker thread is scheduled in and calls drain_vmap_area_work(). It
frees the 2 pages on the purge list. vmap_lazy_nr is now
lazy_max_pages() + 1.
5. This is still over the threshold, so it tries to purge areas again,
but doesn't find anything.
6. Repeat 5.
If the system is running with only one CPU (which is typicial for kdump)
and preemption is disabled, then this will never make forward progress:
there aren't any more pages to purge, so it hangs. If there is more than
one CPU or preemption is enabled, then the worker thread will spin forever
in the background. (Note that if there were already pages to be purged at
the time that set_iounmap_nonlazy() was called, this bug is avoided.)
This can be reproduced with anything that reads from /proc/vmcore multiple
times. E.g., vmcore-dmesg /proc/vmcore.
It turns out that improvements to vmap() over the years have obsoleted the
need for this "optimization". I benchmarked `dd if=/proc/vmcore
of=/dev/null` with 4k and 1M read sizes on a system with a 32GB vmcore.
The test was run on 5.17, 5.18-rc1 with a fix that avoided the hang, and
5.18-rc1 with set_iounmap_nonlazy() removed entirely:
The removal was the fastest (by a wide margin with 4k reads). This patch
removes set_iounmap_nonlazy().

Since commit 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from
zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") only zones with free
memory are included in a built zonelist. This is problematic when e.g.
all memory of a zone has been ballooned out when zonelists are being
rebuilt.
The decision whether to rebuild the zonelists when onlining new memory is
done based on populated_zone() returning 0 for the zone the memory will be
added to. The new zone is added to the zonelists only, if it has free
memory pages (managed_zone() returns a non-zero value) after the memory
has been onlined. This implies, that onlining memory will always free the
added pages to the allocator immediately, but this is not true in all
cases: when e.g. running as a Xen guest the onlined new memory will be
added only to the ballooned memory list, it will be freed only when the
guest is being ballooned up afterwards.
Another problem with using managed_zone() for the decision whether a zone
is being added to the zonelists is, that a zone with all memory used will
in fact be removed from all zonelists in case the zonelists happen to be
rebuilt.
Use populated_zone() when building a zonelist as it has been done before
that commit.
There was a report that QubesOS (based on Xen) is hitting this problem.
Xen has switched to use the zone device functionality in kernel 5.9
and QubesOS wants to use memory hotplugging for guests in order to be
able to start a guest with minimal memory and expand it as needed.
This was the report leading to the patch.
