The shmem hole punching with fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) does not
want to race with generating new pages by faulting them in.
However, the wait-queue used to delay the page faulting has a serious
problem: the wait queue head (in shmem_fallocate()) is allocated on the
stack, and the code expects that "wake_up_all()" will make sure that all
the queue entries are gone before the stack frame is de-allocated.
And that is not at all necessarily the case.
Yes, a normal wake-up sequence will remove the wait-queue entry that
caused the wakeup (see "autoremove_wake_function()"), but the key
wording there is "that caused the wakeup". When there are multiple
possible wakeup sources, the wait queue entry may well stay around.
And _particularly_ in a page fault path, we may be faulting in new pages
from user space while we also have other things going on, and there may
well be other pending wakeups.
So despite the "wake_up_all()", it's not at all guaranteed that all list
entries are removed from the wait queue head on the stack.
Fix this by introducing a new wakeup function that removes the list
entry unconditionally, even if the target process had already woken up
for other reasons. Use that "synchronous" function to set up the
waiters in shmem_fault().
This problem has never been seen in the wild afaik, but Dave Jones has
reported it on and off while running trinity. We thought we fixed the
stack corruption with the blk-mq rq_list locking fix (commit
7fe311302f: "blk-mq: update hardware and software queues for sleeping
alloc"), but it turns out there was _another_ stack corruptor hiding
in the trinity runs.
Vegard Nossum (also running trinity) was able to trigger this one fairly
consistently, and made us look once again at the shmem code due to the
faults often being in that area.

this is minute long snapshot which didn't take a single page from the
LRU. It is not entirely clear why only 1303 pages have been scanned
during that time (maybe there was a heavy IRQ activity interfering).
In any case it looks like we can really hit long periods without
scheduling on non preemptive kernels so an explicit cond_resched() in
shrink_node_memcg which is independent on the reclaim operation is due.

The following program triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range():

#include <sys/mman.h>
int main()
{
mmap((void*)0x20105000ul, 0xc00000ul, 0x2ul, 0x2172ul, -1, 0);

}
The test-case constructs the situation when munlock_vma_pages_range()
finds PTE-mapped THP-head in the middle of page table and, by mistake,
skips HPAGE_PMD_NR pages after that.
As result, on the next iteration it hits the middle of PMD-mapped THP
and gets upset seeing mlocked tail page.
The solution is only skip HPAGE_PMD_NR pages if the THP was mlocked
during munlock_vma_page(). It would guarantee that the page is
PMD-mapped as we never mlock PTE-mapeed THPs.

Prior to 3.15, there was a race between zap_pte_range() and
page_mkclean() where writes to a page could be lost. Dave Hansen
discovered by inspection that there is a similar race between
move_ptes() and page_mkclean().
We've been able to reproduce the issue by enlarging the race window with
a msleep(), but have not been able to hit it without modifying the code.
So, we think it's a real issue, but is difficult or impossible to hit in
practice.
The zap_pte_range() issue is fixed by commit 1cf35d47712d("mm: split
'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts"). And
this patch is to fix the race between page_mkclean() and mremap().
Here is one possible way to hit the race: suppose a process mmapped a
file with READ | WRITE and SHARED, it has two threads and they are bound
to 2 different CPUs, e.g. CPU1 and CPU2. mmap returned X, then thread
1 did a write to addr X so that CPU1 now has a writable TLB for addr X
on it. Thread 2 starts mremaping from addr X to Y while thread 1
cleaned the page and then did another write to the old addr X again.
The 2nd write from thread 1 could succeed but the value will get lost.
thread 1 thread 2
(bound to CPU1) (bound to CPU2)
1: write 1 to addr X to get a
writeable TLB on this CPU
2: mremap starts
3: move_ptes emptied PTE for addr X
and setup new PTE for addr Y and
then dropped PTL for X and Y
4: page laundering for N by doing
fadvise FADV_DONTNEED. When done,
pageframe N is deemed clean.
5: *write 2 to addr X
6: tlb flush for addr X
7: munmap (Y, pagesize) to make the
page unmapped
8: fadvise with FADV_DONTNEED again
to kick the page off the pagecache
9: pread the page from file to verify
the value. If 1 is there, it means
we have lost the written 2.
*the write may or may not cause segmentation fault, it depends on
if the TLB is still on the CPU.
Please note that this is only one specific way of how the race could
occur, it didn't mean that the race could only occur in exact the above
config, e.g. more than 2 threads could be involved and fadvise() could
be done in another thread, etc.
For anonymous pages, they could race between mremap() and page reclaim:
THP: a huge PMD is moved by mremap to a new huge PMD, then the new huge
PMD gets unmapped/splitted/pagedout before the flush tlb happened for
the old huge PMD in move_page_tables() and we could still write data to
it. The normal anonymous page has similar situation.
To fix this, check for any dirty PTE in move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() and
if any, did the flush before dropping the PTL. If we did the flush for
every move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() call then we do not need to do the
flush in move_pages_tables() for the whole range. But if we didn't, we
still need to do the whole range flush.
Alternatively, we can track which part of the range is flushed in
move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() and which didn't to avoid flushing the whole
range in move_page_tables(). But that would require multiple tlb
flushes for the different sub-ranges and should be less efficient than
the single whole range flush.
KBuild test on my Sandybridge desktop doesn't show any noticeable change.

While testing OBJFREELIST_SLAB integration with pagealloc, we found a
bug where kmem_cache(sys) would be created with both CFLGS_OFF_SLAB &
CFLGS_OBJFREELIST_SLAB. When it happened, critical allocations needed
for loading drivers or creating new caches will fail.
The original kmem_cache is created early making OFF_SLAB not possible.
When kmem_cache(sys) is created, OFF_SLAB is possible and if pagealloc
is enabled it will try to enable it first under certain conditions.
Given kmem_cache(sys) reuses the original flag, you can have both flags
at the same time resulting in allocation failures and odd behaviors.
This fix discards allocator specific flags from memcg before calling
create_cache.
The bug exists since 4.6-rc1 and affects testing debug pagealloc
configurations.

Starting from 4.9-rc1 kernel, I started noticing some test failures of
sendfile(2) and splice(2) (sendfile0N and splice01 from LTP) when
testing on sub-page block size filesystems (tested both XFS and ext4),
these syscalls start to return EIO in the tests. e.g.
sendfile02 1 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 26, got: -1
sendfile02 2 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 24, got: -1
sendfile02 3 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 22, got: -1
sendfile02 4 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 20, got: -1
This is because that in sub-page block size cases, we don't need the
whole page to be uptodate, only the part we care about is uptodate is OK
(if fs has ->is_partially_uptodate defined).
But page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() doesn't have the ability to check the
partially-uptodate case, it needs the whole page to be uptodate. So it
returns EIO in this case.
This is a regression introduced by commit 82c156f853 ("switch
generic_file_splice_read() to use of ->read_iter()"). Prior to the
change, generic_file_splice_read() doesn't allow partially-uptodate page
either, so it worked fine.
Fix it by skipping the partially-uptodate check if we're working on a
pipe in do_generic_file_read(), so we read the whole page from disk as
long as the page is not uptodate.
I think the other way to fix it is to add the ability to check & allow
partially-uptodate page to page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm(), but that is
much harder to do and seems gain little.

Error paths in hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() may free a newly
allocated huge page.
If a reservation was associated with the huge page, alloc_huge_page()
consumed the reservation while allocating. When the newly allocated
page is freed in free_huge_page(), it will increment the global
reservation count. However, the reservation entry in the reserve map
will remain.
This is not an issue for shared mappings as the entry in the reserve map
indicates a reservation exists. But, an entry in a private mapping
reserve map indicates the reservation was consumed and no longer exists.
This results in an inconsistency between the reserve map and the global
reservation count. This 'leaks' a reserved huge page.
Create a new routine restore_reserve_on_error() to restore the reserve
entry in these specific error paths. This routine makes use of a new
function vma_add_reservation() which will add a reserve entry for a
specific address/page.
In general, these error paths were rarely (if ever) taken on most
architectures. However, powerpc contained arch specific code that that
resulted in an extra fault and execution of these error paths on all
private mappings.

This normally is not a security issue because it can only be exploited

shmem_replace_page() needs to do so for itself. Without this, it puts
newpage on the wrong lru, re-unlocks the unlocked newpage, and system
descends into "Bad page" reports and freeze; or if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, it
hits an earlier VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked), depending on config.
But shmem_replace_page() is not a common path: it's only called when
swapin (or swapoff) finds the page was already read into an unsuitable
zone: usually all zones are suitable, but gem objects for a few drm
devices (gma500, omapdrm, crestline, broadwater) require zone DMA32 if
there's more than 4GB of ram.

The stack frame size could grow too large when the plugin used long long

On later kernels, kmem charging is opt-in rather than opt-out, and that
particular kmem allocation in btrfs_releasepage() is no longer being
charged and won't recurse and overrun the stack anymore.
But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the
memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many
times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it.
Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to
avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim. Then let
recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and
many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2
seconds. During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the
slab lists (slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node,
and this sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance,
Infiniband).
This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for
total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is
updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip
traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and
since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large,
it results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo
statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial
lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full.
We tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the
performance improved from 2s to 5ms.

As described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177821:
After some analysis it seems to be that the problem is in alloc_super().
In case list_lru_init_memcg() fails it goes into destroy_super(), which
calls list_lru_destroy().
And in list_lru_init() we see that in case memcg_init_list_lru() fails,
lru->node is freed, but not set NULL, which then leads list_lru_destroy()
to believe it is initialized and call memcg_destroy_list_lru().
memcg_destroy_list_lru() in turn can access lru->node[i].memcg_lrus,
which is NULL.

There is a bug report that SLAB makes extreme load average due to over
2000 kworker thread.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172981
This issue is caused by kmemcg feature that try to create new set of
kmem_caches for each memcg. Recently, kmem_cache creation is slowed by
synchronize_sched() and futher kmem_cache creation is also delayed since
kmem_cache creation is synchronized by a global slab_mutex lock. So,
the number of kworker that try to create kmem_cache increases quietly.
synchronize_sched() is for lockless access to node's shared array but
it's not needed when a new kmem_cache is created. So, this patch rules
out that case.
Fixes: 801faf0db8 ("mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache")

When I removed the per-zone bitlock hashed waitqueues in commit
9dcb8b685f ("mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues"), I
removed all the magic hotplug memory initialization of said waitqueues
too.
But when I actually _tested_ the resulting build, I stupidly assumed
that "allmodconfig" would enable memory hotplug. And it doesn't,
because it enables KASAN instead, which then disables hotplug memory
support.
As a result, my build test of the per-zone waitqueues was totally
broken, and I didn't notice that the compiler warns about the now unused
iterator variable 'i'.
I guess I should be happy that that seems to be the worst breakage from
my clearly horribly failed test coverage.

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the
page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt
normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up
breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object:
wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the
stack of fill_super().
The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is
no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical
page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()).
It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the
per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup
also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone
lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates
horrible code.
As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for
the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a
separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at
for the normal case.
Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody
even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by
simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.
Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
this function from its one user, kvm.
We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
__get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
stacks:
get_user_page_nowait():
get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
__get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
__get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)
check_user_page_hwpoison():
get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
__get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
__get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,

"This is fallout from CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y on x86: stack
accesses that used to be just somewhat questionable are now totally
buggy.
These changes try to do it without breaking the ABI: the fields are
left there, they are just reporting zero, or reporting narrower

fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks
fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat

Asking for a non-current task's stack can't be done without races
unless the task is frozen in kernel mode. As far as I know,
vm_is_stack_for_task() never had a safe non-current use case.
The __unused annotation is because some KSTK_ESP implementations
ignore their parameter, which IMO is further justification for this
patch.

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
"This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
implied by flags.
The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.
The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e0885465
("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
situation where this assumption did not hold.
See
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166
for the patch proposal"
Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
(badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db975 ("Fix
get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404 ("fix get_user_pages bug").
In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The
s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3c ("s390/mm: implement
software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will
have to look at the page state itself.
Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.
To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

Merge tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
"This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot
time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in
CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences,
SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example
for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals"
* tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin
Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
- Nick improved generic implementations of percpu operations which
modify the variable and return so that they calculate the physical
address only once.
- percpu_ref percpu <-> atomic mode switching improvements. The
patchset was originally posted about a year ago but fell through the
crack.
- misc non-critical fixes.
* 'for-4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
mm/percpu.c: fix potential memory leakage for pcpu_embed_first_chunk()
mm/percpu.c: correct max_distance calculation for pcpu_embed_first_chunk()
percpu: eliminate two sparse warnings
percpu: improve generic percpu modify-return implementation
percpu-refcount: init ->confirm_switch member properly
percpu_ref: allow operation mode switching operations to be called concurrently
percpu_ref: restructure operation mode switching
percpu_ref: unify staggered atomic switching wait behavior
percpu_ref: reorganize __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() and relocate percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic()
percpu_ref: remove unnecessary RCU grace period for staggered atomic switching confirmation
