3 months agofs/dax: create a common implementation to break DAX layouts

fs/dax: create a common implementation to break DAX layouts

Prior to freeing a block file systems supporting FS DAX must check that
the associated pages are both unmapped from user-space and not undergoing
DMA or other access from eg.  get_user_pages().  This is achieved by
unmapping the file range and scanning the FS DAX page-cache to see if any
pages within the mapping have an elevated refcount.

This is done using two functions - dax_layout_busy_page_range() which
returns a page to wait for the refcount to become idle on.  Rather than
open-code this introduce a common implementation to both unmap and wait
for the page to become idle.

3 months agofs/dax: don't skip locked entries when scanning entries
Alistair Popple [Tue, 18 Feb 2025 03:55:19 +0000 (14:55 +1100)]
fs/dax: don't skip locked entries when scanning entries

Several functions internal to FS DAX use the following pattern when trying
to obtain an unlocked entry:

    xas_for_each(&xas, entry, end_idx) {
if (dax_is_locked(entry))
    entry = get_unlocked_entry(&xas, 0);

This is problematic because get_unlocked_entry() will get the next present
entry in the range, and the next entry may not be locked.  Therefore any
processing of the original locked entry will be skipped.  This can cause
dax_layout_busy_page_range() to miss DMA-busy pages in the range, leading
file systems to free blocks whilst DMA operations are ongoing which can
lead to file system corruption.

Instead callers from within a xas_for_each() loop should be waiting for
the current entry to be unlocked without advancing the XArray state so a
new function is introduced to wait.

Also while we are here rename get_unlocked_entry() to
get_next_unlocked_entry() to make it clear that it may advance the
iterator state.

3 months agofs/dax: return unmapped busy pages from dax_layout_busy_page_range()

fs/dax: return unmapped busy pages from dax_layout_busy_page_range()

dax_layout_busy_page_range() is used by file systems to scan the DAX
page-cache to unmap mapping pages from user-space and to determine if any
pages in the given range are busy, either due to ongoing DMA or other
get_user_pages() usage.

Currently it checks to see the file mapping is mapped into user-space with
mapping_mapped() and returns early if not, skipping the check for DMA busy
pages.  This is wrong as pages may still be undergoing DMA access even if
they have subsequently been unmapped from user-space.  Fix this by
dropping the check for mapping_mapped().

3 months agofuse: fix dax truncate/punch_hole fault path
Alistair Popple [Tue, 18 Feb 2025 03:55:17 +0000 (14:55 +1100)]
fuse: fix dax truncate/punch_hole fault path

Patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts", v8.

Device and FS DAX pages have always maintained their own page reference
counts without following the normal rules for page reference counting.  In
particular pages are considered free when the refcount hits one rather
than zero and refcounts are not added when mapping the page.

Tracking this requires special PTE bits (PTE_DEVMAP) and a secondary
mechanism for allowing GUP to hold references on the page (see
get_dev_pagemap).  However there doesn't seem to be any reason why FS DAX
pages need their own reference counting scheme.

By treating the refcounts on these pages the same way as normal pages we
can remove a lot of special checks.  In particular pXd_trans_huge()
becomes the same as pXd_leaf(), although I haven't made that change here.
It also frees up a valuable SW define PTE bit on architectures that have
devmap PTE bits defined.

It also almost certainly allows further clean-up of the devmap managed
functions, but I have left that as a future improvment.  It also enables
support for compound ZONE_DEVICE pages which is one of my primary
motivators for doing this work.

This patch (of 20):

FS DAX requires file systems to call into the DAX layout prior to
unlinking inodes to ensure there is no ongoing DMA or other remote access
to the direct mapped page.  The fuse file system implements
fuse_dax_break_layouts() to do this which includes a comment indicating
that passing dmap_end == 0 leads to unmapping of the whole file.

However this is not true - passing dmap_end == 0 will not unmap anything
before dmap_start, and further more dax_layout_busy_page_range() will not
scan any of the range to see if there maybe ongoing DMA access to the
range.  Fix this by passing -1 for dmap_end to fuse_dax_break_layouts()
which will invalidate the entire file range to
dax_layout_busy_page_range().

3 months agomm: make vma cache SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
Suren Baghdasaryan [Thu, 13 Feb 2025 22:46:54 +0000 (14:46 -0800)]
mm: make vma cache SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU

To enable SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for vma cache we need to ensure that
object reuse before RCU grace period is over will be detected by
lock_vma_under_rcu().

Current checks are sufficient as long as vma is detached before it is
freed.  The only place this is not currently happening is in exit_mmap().
Add the missing vma_mark_detached() in exit_mmap().

Another issue which might trick lock_vma_under_rcu() during vma reuse is
vm_area_dup(), which copies the entire content of the vma into a new one,
overriding new vma's vm_refcnt and temporarily making it appear as
attached.  This might trick a racing lock_vma_under_rcu() to operate on a
reused vma if it found the vma before it got reused.  To prevent this
situation, we should ensure that vm_refcnt stays at detached state (0)
when it is copied and advances to attached state only after it is added
into the vma tree.  Introduce vm_area_init_from() which preserves new
vma's vm_refcnt and use it in vm_area_dup().  Since all vmas are in
detached state with no current readers when they are freed,

lock_vma_under_rcu() will not be able to take vm_refcnt after vma got
detached even if vma is reused. vma_mark_attached() in modified to
include a release fence to ensure all stores to the vma happen before
vm_refcnt gets initialized.

Finally, make vm_area_cachep SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This will facilitate
vm_area_struct reuse and will minimize the number of call_rcu() calls.

3 months agomm: replace vm_lock and detached flag with a reference count
Suren Baghdasaryan [Thu, 13 Feb 2025 22:46:49 +0000 (14:46 -0800)]
mm: replace vm_lock and detached flag with a reference count

rw_semaphore is a sizable structure of 40 bytes and consumes considerable
space for each vm_area_struct.  However vma_lock has two important
specifics which can be used to replace rw_semaphore with a simpler
structure:

1. Readers never wait.  They try to take the vma_lock and fall back to
   mmap_lock if that fails.

2. Only one writer at a time will ever try to write-lock a vma_lock
   because writers first take mmap_lock in write mode.  Because of these
   requirements, full rw_semaphore functionality is not needed and we can
   replace rw_semaphore and the vma->detached flag with a refcount
   (vm_refcnt).

When vma is in detached state, vm_refcnt is 0 and only a call to
vma_mark_attached() can take it out of this state.  Note that unlike
before, now we enforce both vma_mark_attached() and vma_mark_detached() to
be done only after vma has been write-locked.  vma_mark_attached() changes
vm_refcnt to 1 to indicate that it has been attached to the vma tree.
When a reader takes read lock, it increments vm_refcnt, unless the top
usable bit of vm_refcnt (0x40000000) is set, indicating presence of a
writer.  When writer takes write lock, it sets the top usable bit to
indicate its presence.  If there are readers, writer will wait using newly
introduced mm->vma_writer_wait.  Since all writers take mmap_lock in write
mode first, there can be only one writer at a time.  The last reader to
release the lock will signal the writer to wake up.  refcount might
overflow if there are many competing readers, in which case read-locking
will fail.  Readers are expected to handle such failures.

In summary:
1. all readers increment the vm_refcnt;
2. writer sets top usable (writer) bit of vm_refcnt;
3. readers cannot increment the vm_refcnt if the writer bit is set;
4. in the presence of readers, writer must wait for the vm_refcnt to drop
to 1 (plus the VMA_LOCK_OFFSET writer bit), indicating an attached vma
with no readers;
5. vm_refcnt overflow is handled by the readers.

While this vm_lock replacement does not yet result in a smaller
vm_area_struct (it stays at 256 bytes due to cacheline alignment), it
allows for further size optimization by structure member regrouping to
bring the size of vm_area_struct below 192 bytes.

3 months agorefcount: provide ops for cases when object's memory can be reused
Suren Baghdasaryan [Thu, 13 Feb 2025 22:46:47 +0000 (14:46 -0800)]
refcount: provide ops for cases when object's memory can be reused

For speculative lookups where a successful inc_not_zero() pins the object,
but where we still need to double check if the object acquired is indeed
the one we set out to acquire (identity check), needs this validation to
happen *after* the increment.  Similarly, when a new object is initialized
and its memory might have been previously occupied by another object, all
stores to initialize the object should happen *before* refcount
initialization.

Notably SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU is one such an example when this ordering is
required for reference counting.

Add refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() to guarantee the proper ordering
between acquiring a reference count on an object and performing the
identity check for that object.

Add refcount_set_release() to guarantee proper ordering between stores
initializing object attributes and the store initializing the refcount.
refcount_set_release() should be done after all other object attributes
are initialized.  Once refcount_set_release() is called, the object should
be considered visible to other tasks even if it was not yet added into an
object collection normally used to discover it.  This is because other
tasks might have discovered the object previously occupying the same
memory and after memory reuse they can succeed in taking refcount for the
new object and start using it.

Object reuse example to consider:

consumer:
    obj = lookup(collection, key);
    if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref))
        return;
    if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* identity check */
        put_ref(obj);
        return;
    }
    use(obj->value);

                 producer:
                     remove(collection, obj->key);
                     if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
                         return;
                     obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
                     free(obj);
                     obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
                     obj->key = new_key;
                     obj->value = new_value;
                     refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1);
                     add(collection, new_key, obj);

refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() is required to prevent the following
reordering when refcount_inc_not_zero() is used instead:

consumer:
    obj = lookup(collection, key);
    if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* reordered identity check */
        put_ref(obj);
        return;
    }
                 producer:
                     remove(collection, obj->key);
                     if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
                         return;
                     obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
                     free(obj);
                     obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
                     obj->key = new_key;
                     obj->value = new_value;
                     refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1);
                     add(collection, new_key, obj);

    if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&obj->ref))
        return;
    use(obj->value); /* USING WRONG OBJECT */

refcount_set_release() is required to prevent the following reordering
when refcount_set() is used instead:

consumer:
    obj = lookup(collection, key);

                 producer:
                     remove(collection, obj->key);
                     if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
                         return;
                     obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
                     free(obj);
                     obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
                     obj->key = new_key; /* new_key == old_key */
                     refcount_set(obj->ref, 1);

    if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref))
        return;
    if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* pass since new_key == old_key */
        put_ref(obj);
        return;
    }
    use(obj->value); /* USING STALE obj->value */

                     obj->value = new_value; /* reordered store */
                     add(collection, key, obj);

3 months agomm: mark vmas detached upon exit

mm: mark vmas detached upon exit

When exit_mmap() removes vmas belonging to an exiting task, it does not
mark them as detached since they can't be reached by other tasks and they
will be freed shortly.  Once we introduce vma reuse, all vmas will have to
be in detached state before they are freed to ensure vma when reused is in
a consistent state.  Add missing vma_mark_detached() before freeing the
vma.

3 months agomm: introduce vma_iter_store_attached() to use with attached vmas

mm: introduce vma_iter_store_attached() to use with attached vmas

vma_iter_store() functions can be used both when adding a new vma and when
updating an existing one.  However for existing ones we do not need to
mark them attached as they are already marked that way.  With
vma->detached being a separate flag, double-marking a vmas as attached or
detached is not an issue because the flag will simply be overwritten with
the same value.  However once we fold this flag into the refcount later in
this series, re-attaching or re-detaching a vma becomes an issue since
these operations will be incrementing/decrementing a refcount.

Introduce vma_iter_store_new() and vma_iter_store_overwrite() to replace
vma_iter_store() and avoid re-attaching a vma during vma update.  Add
assertions in vma_mark_attached()/vma_mark_detached() to catch invalid
usage.  Update vma tests to check for vma detached state correctness.

mm: move per-vma lock into vm_area_struct

Back when per-vma locks were introduces, vm_lock was moved out of
vm_area_struct in [1] because of the performance regression caused by
false cacheline sharing.  Recent investigation [2] revealed that the
regressions is limited to a rather old Broadwell microarchitecture and
even there it can be mitigated by disabling adjacent cacheline
prefetching, see [3].

Splitting single logical structure into multiple ones leads to more
complicated management, extra pointer dereferences and overall less
maintainable code.  When that split-away part is a lock, it complicates
things even further.  With no performance benefits, there are no reasons
for this split.  Merging the vm_lock back into vm_area_struct also allows
vm_area_struct to use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU later in this patchset.  Move
vm_lock back into vm_area_struct, aligning it at the cacheline boundary
and changing the cache to be cacheline-aligned as well.  With kernel
compiled using defconfig, this causes VMA memory consumption to grow from
160 (vm_area_struct) + 40 (vm_lock) bytes to 256 bytes:

    slabinfo before:
     <name>           ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ...
     vma_lock         ...     40  102    1 : ...

     <name>           ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ...
     vm_area_struct   ...    256   32    2 : ...

Aggregate VMA memory consumption per 1000 VMAs grows from 50 to 64 pages,
which is 5.5MB per 100000 VMAs.  Note that the size of this structure is
dependent on the kernel configuration and typically the original size is
higher than 160 bytes.  Therefore these calculations are close to the
worst case scenario.  A more realistic vm_area_struct usage before this
change is:

     <name>           ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ...
     vma_lock         ...     40  102    1 : ...
     vm_area_struct   ...    176   46    2 : ...

Aggregate VMA memory consumption per 1000 VMAs grows from 54 to 64 pages,
which is 3.9MB per 100000 VMAs.  This memory consumption growth can be
addressed later by optimizing the vm_lock.

3 months agomm: avoid splitting pmd for lazyfree pmd-mapped THP in try_to_unmap
Barry Song [Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:30:15 +0000 (22:30 +1300)]
mm: avoid splitting pmd for lazyfree pmd-mapped THP in try_to_unmap

The try_to_unmap_one() function currently handles PMD-mapped THPs
inefficiently.  It first splits the PMD into PTEs, copies the dirty state
from the PMD to the PTEs, iterates over the PTEs to locate the dirty
state, and then marks the THP as swap-backed.  This process involves
unnecessary PMD splitting and redundant iteration.  Instead, this
functionality can be efficiently managed in
__discard_anon_folio_pmd_locked(), avoiding the extra steps and improving
performance.

The following microbenchmark redirties folios after invoking MADV_FREE,
then measures the time taken to perform memory reclamation (actually set
those folios swapbacked again) on the redirtied folios.

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <sys/mman.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <time.h>

 #define SIZE 128*1024*1024  // 128 MB

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
  while(1) {
  volatile int *p = mmap(0, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
  MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

  memset((void *)p, 1, SIZE);
  madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_FREE);
  /* redirty after MADV_FREE */
  memset((void *)p, 1, SIZE);

clock_t start_time = clock();
  madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
  clock_t end_time = clock();

  double elapsed_time = (double)(end_time - start_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
  printf("Time taken by reclamation: %f seconds\n", elapsed_time);

  munmap((void *)p, SIZE);
  }
  return 0;
 }

Testing results are as below,

3 months agomm: support batched unmap for lazyfree large folios during reclamation

mm: support batched unmap for lazyfree large folios during reclamation

Currently, the PTEs and rmap of a large folio are removed one at a time.
This is not only slow but also causes the large folio to be unnecessarily
added to deferred_split, which can lead to races between the
deferred_split shrinker callback and memory reclamation.  This patch
releases all PTEs and rmap entries in a batch.  Currently, it only handles
lazyfree large folios.

The below microbench tries to reclaim 128MB lazyfree large folios
whose sizes are 64KiB:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <sys/mman.h>

  }

  fclose(file);
  return value;
 }

 {

  madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
  clock_t end_time = clock();
  unsigned long end_split = read_split_deferred();

  double elapsed_time = (double)(end_time - start_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

3 months agomm: support tlbbatch flush for a range of PTEs
Barry Song [Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:30:13 +0000 (22:30 +1300)]
mm: support tlbbatch flush for a range of PTEs

This patch lays the groundwork for supporting batch PTE unmapping in
try_to_unmap_one().  It introduces range handling for TLB batch flushing,
with the range currently set to the size of PAGE_SIZE.

The function __flush_tlb_range_nosync() is architecture-specific and is
only used within arch/arm64.  This function requires the mm structure
instead of the vma structure.  To allow its reuse by
arch_tlbbatch_add_pending(), which operates with mm but not vma, this
patch modifies the argument of __flush_tlb_range_nosync() to take mm as
its parameter.

3 months agomm: set folio swapbacked iff folios are dirty in try_to_unmap_one
Barry Song [Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:30:12 +0000 (22:30 +1300)]
mm: set folio swapbacked iff folios are dirty in try_to_unmap_one

Patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation",
v4.

Commit 735ecdfaf4e8 ("mm/vmscan: avoid split lazyfree THP during
shrink_folio_list()") prevents the splitting of MADV_FREE'd THP in
madvise.c.

However, those folios are still added to the deferred_split list in
try_to_unmap_one() because we are unmapping PTEs and removing rmap entries
one by one.

Firstly, this has rendered the following counter somewhat confusing,
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-size/stats/split_deferred
The split_deferred counter was originally designed to track operations
such as partial unmap or madvise of large folios.  However, in practice,
most split_deferred cases arise from memory reclamation of aligned
lazyfree mTHPs as observed by Tangquan.  This discrepancy has made the
split_deferred counter highly misleading.

Secondly, this approach is slow because it requires iterating through each
PTE and removing the rmap one by one for a large folio.  In fact, all PTEs
of a pte-mapped large folio should be unmapped at once, and the entire
folio should be removed from the rmap as a whole.

Thirdly, it also increases the risk of a race condition where lazyfree
folios are incorrectly set back to swapbacked, as a speculative folio_get
may occur in the shrinker's callback.

deferred_split_scan() might call folio_try_get(folio) since we have added
the folio to split_deferred list while removing rmap for the 1st subpage,
and while we are scanning the 2nd to nr_pages PTEs of this folio in
try_to_unmap_one(), the entire mTHP could be transitioned back to
swap-backed because the reference count is incremented, which can make
"ref_count == 1 + map_count" within try_to_unmap_one() false.

   /*
    * The only page refs must be one from isolation
    * plus the rmap(s) (dropped by discard:).
    */
   if (ref_count == 1 + map_count &&
       (!folio_test_dirty(folio) ||
        ...
        (vma->vm_flags & VM_DROPPABLE))) {
           dec_mm_counter(mm, MM_ANONPAGES);
           goto discard;
   }

This patchset resolves the issue by marking only genuinely dirty folios as
swap-backed, as suggested by David, and transitioning to batched unmapping
of entire folios in try_to_unmap_one().  Consequently, the deferred_split
count drops to zero, and memory reclamation performance improves
significantly â€” reclaiming 64KiB lazyfree large folios is now 2.5x
faster(The specific data is embedded in the changelog of patch 3/4).

By the way, while the patchset is primarily aimed at PTE-mapped large
folios, Baolin and Lance also found that try_to_unmap_one() handles
lazyfree redirtied PMD-mapped large folios inefficiently â€” it splits the
PMD into PTEs and iterates over them.  This patchset removes the
unnecessary splitting, enabling us to skip redirtied PMD-mapped large
folios 3.5X faster during memory reclamation.  (The specific data can be
found in the changelog of patch 4/4).

This patch (of 4):

The refcount may be temporarily or long-term increased, but this does not
change the fundamental nature of the folio already being lazy- freed.
Therefore, we only reset 'swapbacked' when we are certain the folio is
dirty and not droppable.

3 months agomm: allow guard regions in file-backed and read-only mappings
Lorenzo Stoakes [Thu, 13 Feb 2025 18:17:00 +0000 (18:17 +0000)]
mm: allow guard regions in file-backed and read-only mappings

Patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings".

The guard regions feature was initially implemented to support anonymous
mappings only, excluding shmem.

This was done so as to introduce the feature carefully and incrementally
and to be conservative when considering the various caveats and corner
cases that are applicable to file-backed mappings but not to anonymous
ones.

Now this feature has landed in 6.13, it is time to revisit this and to
extend this functionality to file-backed and shmem mappings.

In order to make this maximally useful, and since one may map file-backed
mappings read-only (for instance ELF images), we also remove the
restriction on read-only mappings and permit the establishment of guard
regions in any non-hugetlb, non-mlock()'d mapping.

It is permissible to permit the establishment of guard regions in
read-only mappings because the guard regions only reduce access to the
mapping, and when removed simply reinstate the existing attributes of the
underlying VMA, meaning no access violations can occur.

While the change in kernel code introduced in this series is small, the
majority of the effort here is spent in extending the testing to assert
that the feature works correctly across numerous file-backed mapping
scenarios.

Every single guard region self-test performed against anonymous memory
(which is relevant and not anon-only) has now been updated to also be
performed against shmem and a mapping of a file in the working directory.

This confirms that all cases also function correctly for file-backed guard
regions.

In addition a number of other tests are added for specific file-backed
mapping scenarios.

There are a number of other concerns that one might have with regard to
guard regions, addressed below:

Readahead
~~~~~~~~~

Readahead is a process through which the page cache is populated on the
assumption that sequential reads will occur, thus amortising I/O and,
through a clever use of the PG_readahead folio flag establishing during
major fault and checked upon minor fault, provides for asynchronous I/O to
occur as dat is processed, reducing I/O stalls as data is faulted in.

Guard regions do not alter this mechanism which operates at the folio and
fault level, but does of course prevent the faulting of folios that would
otherwise be mapped.

In the instance of a major fault prior to a guard region, synchronous
readahead will occur including populating folios in the page cache which
the guard regions will, in the case of the mapping in question, prevent
access to.

In addition, if PG_readahead is placed in a folio that is now
inaccessible, this will prevent asynchronous readahead from occurring as
it would otherwise do.

However, there are mechanisms for heuristically resetting this within
readahead regardless, which will 'recover' correct readahead behaviour.

Readahead presumes sequential data access, the presence of a guard region
clearly indicates that, at least in the guard region, no such sequential
access will occur, as it cannot occur there.

So this should have very little impact on any real workload.  The far more
important point is as to whether readahead causes incorrect or
inappropriate mapping of ranges disallowed by the presence of guard
regions - this is not the case, as readahead does not 'pre-fault' memory
in this fashion.

At any rate, any mechanism which would attempt to do so would hit the
usual page fault paths, which correctly handle PTE markers as with
anonymous mappings.

Fault-Around
~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fault-around logic, in a similar vein to readahead, attempts to
improve efficiency with regard to file-backed memory mappings, however it
differs in that it does not try to fetch folios into the page cache that
are about to be accessed, but rather pre-maps a range of folios around the
faulting address.

Guard regions making use of PTE markers makes this relatively trivial, as
this case is already handled - see filemap_map_folio_range() and
filemap_map_order0_folio() - in both instances, the solution is to simply
keep the established page table mappings and let the fault handler take
care of PTE markers, as per the comment:

/*
 * NOTE: If there're PTE markers, we'll leave them to be
 * handled in the specific fault path, and it'll prohibit
 * the fault-around logic.
 */

This works, as establishing guard regions results in page table mappings
with PTE markers, and clearing them removes them.

Truncation
~~~~~~~~~~

File truncation will not eliminate existing guard regions, as the
truncation operation will ultimately zap the range via
unmap_mapping_range(), which specifically excludes PTE markers.

Zapping
~~~~~~~

Zapping is, as with anonymous mappings, handled by zap_nonpresent_ptes(),
which specifically deals with guard entries, leaving them intact except in
instances such as process teardown or munmap() where they need to be
removed.

Reclaim
~~~~~~~

When reclaim is performed on file-backed folios, it ultimately invokes
try_to_unmap_one() via the rmap.  If the folio is non-large, then
map_pte() will ultimately abort the operation for the guard region
mapping.  If large, then check_pte() will determine that this is a
non-device private entry/device-exclusive entry 'swap' PTE and thus abort
the operation in that instance.

Therefore, no odd things happen in the instance of reclaim being attempted
upon a file-backed guard region.

Hole Punching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This updates the page cache and ultimately invokes unmap_mapping_range(),
which explicitly leaves PTE markers in place.

Because the establishment of guard regions zapped any existing mappings to
file-backed folios, once the guard regions are removed then the
hole-punched region will be faulted in as usual and everything will behave
as expected.

One thing to note with this series is that it now implies file-backed
VMAs which install guard regions will now have an anon_vma installed if
not already present (i.e.  if not post-CoW MAP_PRIVATE).

I have audited kernel source for instances of vma->anon_vma checks and
found nowhere where this would be problematic for pure file-backed
mappings.

I also discussed (off-list) with Matthew who confirmed he can't see any
issue with this.

In effect, we treat these VMAs as if they are MAP_PRIVATE, only with 0
CoW'd pages.  As a result, the rmap never has a reason to reference the
anon_vma from folios at any point and thus no unexpected or weird
behaviour results.

The anon_vma logic tries to avoid unnecessary anon_vma propagation on
fork so we ought to at least minimise overhead.

However, this is still overhead, and unwelcome overhead.

The whole reason we do this (in madvise_guard_install()) is to ensure
that fork _copies page tables_.  Otherwise, in vma_needs_copy(),
nothing will indicate that we should do so.

This was already an unpleasant thing to have to do, but without a new
VMA flag we really have no reasonable means of ensuring this happens.

Going forward, I intend to add a new VMA flag, VM_MAYBE_GUARDED or
something like this.

This would have specific behaviour - for the purposes of merging, it
would be ignored.  However on both split and merge, it will be
propagated.  It is therefore 'sticky'.

This is to avoid having to traverse page tables to determine which
parts of a VMA contain guard regions and of course to maintain the
desirable qualities of guard regions - the lack of VMA propagation (+
thus slab allocations of VMAs).

Adding this flag and adjusting vma_needs_copy() to reference it would
resolve the issue.

However :) we have a VMA flag space issue, so it'd render this a 64-bit
feature only.

Having discussed with Matthew a plan by which to perhaps extend
available flags for 32-bit we may going forward be able to avoid this.
But this may be a longer term project.

In the meantime, we'd have to resort to the anon_vma hack for 32-bit,
using the flag for 64-bit.  The issue with this however is if we do
then intend to allow the flag to enable /proc/$pid/maps visibility
(something this could allow), it would also end up being 64-bit only
which would be a pity.

Regardless - I wanted to highlight this behaviour as it is perhaps
somewhat surprising.

This patch (of 4):

There is no reason to disallow guard regions in file-backed mappings -
readahead and fault-around both function correctly in the presence of PTE
markers, equally other operations relating to memory-mapped files function
correctly.

Additionally, read-only mappings if introducing guard-regions, only
restrict the mapping further, which means there is no violation of any
access rights by permitting this to be so.

Removing this restriction allows for read-only mapped files (such as
executable files) correctly which would otherwise not be permitted.

fb_defio: do not use deprecated page->mapping, index fields

With the introduction of mapping_wrprotect_range() there is no need to use
folio_mkclean() in order to write-protect mappings of frame buffer pages,
and therefore no need to inappropriately set kernel-allocated page->index,

Instead, store the pointer to the page cache object for the mapped driver
in the fb_deferred_io object, and use the already stored page offset from
the pageref object to look up mappings in order to write-protect them.

This is justified, as for the page objects to store a mapping pointer at
the point of assignment of pages, they must all reference the same
underlying address_space object.  Since the life time of the pagerefs is
also the lifetime of the fb_deferred_io object, storing the pointer here
makes sense.

This eliminates the need for all of the logic around setting and
maintaining page->index,mapping which we remove.

This eliminates the use of folio_mkclean() entirely but otherwise should

Lorenzo Stoakes [Sat, 8 Feb 2025 15:52:55 +0000 (15:52 +0000)]
mm: provide mapping_wrprotect_range() function

In the fb_defio video driver, page dirty state is used to determine when
frame buffer pages have been changed, allowing for batched, deferred I/O
to be performed for efficiency.

This implementation had only one means of doing so effectively - the use
of the folio_mkclean() function.

However, this use of the function is inappropriate, as the fb_defio
implementation allocates kernel memory to back the framebuffer, and then
is forced to specified page->index, mapping fields in order to permit the
folio_mkclean() rmap traversal to proceed correctly.

It is not correct to specify these fields on kernel-allocated memory, and
moreover since these are not folios, page->index, mapping are deprecated
fields, soon to be removed.

We therefore need to provide a means by which we can correctly traverse
the reverse mapping and write-protect mappings for a page backing an
address_space page cache object at a given offset.

This patch provides this - mapping_wrprotect_range() - which allows for
this operation to be performed for a specified address_space, offset, PFN
and size, without requiring a folio nor, of course, an inappropriate use
of page->index, mapping.

With this provided, we can subsequently adjust the fb_defio implementation
to make use of this function and avoid incorrect invocation of
folio_mkclean() and more importantly, incorrect manipulation of
page->index and mapping fields.

3 months agomm: refactor rmap_walk_file() to separate out traversal logic
Lorenzo Stoakes [Sat, 8 Feb 2025 15:52:54 +0000 (15:52 +0000)]
mm: refactor rmap_walk_file() to separate out traversal logic

Patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use", v3.

Right now the only means by which we can write-protect a range using the
reverse mapping is via folio_mkclean().

However this is not always the appropriate means of doing so, specifically
in the case of the framebuffer deferred I/O logic (fb_defio enabled by
CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO).  There, kernel pages are mapped read-only and
write-protect faults used to batch up I/O operations.

Each time the deferred work is done, folio_mkclean() is used to mark the
framebuffer page as having had I/O performed on it.  However doing so
requires the kernel page (perhaps allocated via vmalloc()) to have its
page->mapping, index fields set so the rmap can find everything that maps
it in order to write-protect.

This is problematic as firstly, these fields should not be set for
kernel-allocated memory, and secondly these are not folios (it's not user
memory) and page->index, mapping fields are now deprecated and soon to be
removed.

The removal of these fields is imminent, rendering this series more urgent
than it might first appear.

The implementers cannot be blamed for having used this however, as there
is simply no other way of performing this operation correctly.

This series fixes this - we provide the mapping_wrprotect_range() function
to allow the reverse mapping to be used to look up mappings from the page
cache object (i.e.  its address_space pointer) at a specific offset.

The fb_defio logic already stores this offset, and can simply be expanded
to keep track of the page cache object, so the change then becomes
straight-forward.

This series should have no functional change.

This patch (of 3):

In order to permit the traversal of the reverse mapping at a specified
mapping and offset rather than those specified by an input folio, we need
to separate out the portion of the rmap file logic which deals with this
traversal from those parts of the logic which interact with the folio.

This patch achieves this by adding a new static __rmap_walk_file()
function which rmap_walk_file() invokes.

This function permits the ability to pass NULL folio, on the assumption
that the caller has provided for this correctly in the callbacks specified
in the rmap_walk_control object.

Though it provides for this, and adds debug asserts to ensure that, should
a folio be specified, these are equal to the mapping and offset specified
in the folio, there should be no functional change as a result of this
patch.

The reason for adding this is to enable for future changes to permit users
to be able to traverse mappings of userland-mapped kernel memory,
write-protecting those mappings to enable page_mkwrite() or pfn_mkwrite()
fault handlers to be retriggered on subsequent dirty.

mm: use READ/WRITE_ONCE() for vma->vm_flags on migrate, mprotect

According to the syzbot report referenced here, it is possible to
encounter a race between mprotect() writing to the vma->vm_flags field and
migration checking whether the VMA is locked.

There is no real problem with timing here per se, only that torn
reads/writes may occur.  Therefore, as a proximate fix, ensure both
operations READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to avoid this.

This race is possible due to the ability to look up VMAs via the rmap,
which migration does in this case, which takes no mmap or VMA lock and
therefore does not preclude an operation to modify a VMA.

When the final update of VMA flags is performed by mprotect, this will
cause the rmap lock to be taken while the VMA is inserted on split/merge.

However the means by which we perform splits/merges in the kernel is that
we perform the split/merge operation on the VMA, acquiring/releasing locks
as needed, and only then, after having done so, modifying fields.

We should carefully examine and determine whether we can combine the two
operations so as to avoid such races, and whether it might be possible to
otherwise annotate these rmap field accesses.

mm, percpu: do not consider sleepable allocations atomic

28307d938fb2 ("percpu: make pcpu_alloc() aware of current gfp context")
has fixed a reclaim recursion for scoped GFP_NOFS context.  It has done
that by avoiding taking pcpu_alloc_mutex.  This is a correct solution as
the worker context with full GFP_KERNEL allocation/reclaim power and which
is using the same lock cannot block the NOFS pcpu_alloc caller.

On the other hand this is a very conservative approach that could lead to
failures because pcpu_alloc lockless implementation is quite limited.

We have a bug report about premature failures when scsi array of 193
devices is scanned.  Sometimes (not consistently) the scanning aborts
because the iscsid daemon fails to create the queue for a random scsi
device during the scan.  iscsid itslef is running with PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER
set so all allocations from this process context are GFP_NOIO.  This in
turn makes any pcpu_alloc lockless (without pcpu_alloc_mutex) which leads
to pre-mature failures.

It has turned out that iscsid has worked around this by dropping
PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER (https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi/pull/382) when
scanning host.  But we can do better in this case on the kernel side and
use pcpu_alloc_mutex for NOIO resp.  NOFS constrained allocation scopes
too.  We just need the WQ worker to never trigger IO/FS reclaim.  Achieve
that by enforcing scoped GFP_NOIO for the whole execution of
pcpu_balance_workfn (this will imply NOFS constrain as well).  This will
remove the dependency chain and preserve the full allocation power of the
pcpu_alloc call.

While at it make is_atomic really test for blockable allocations.
