It is because CPU 0 held info->lock with IRQ enabled in userfaultfd_copy
path, then CPU 1 is splitting a THP which held xa_lock and info->lock in
IRQ disabled context at the same time. If softirq comes in to acquire
xa_lock, the deadlock would be triggered.
The fix is to acquire/release info->lock with *_irq version instead of
plain spin_{lock,unlock} to make it softirq safe.

Recent commit 71725ed10c ("mm: huge tmpfs: try to split_huge_page()
when punching hole") has allowed syzkaller to probe deeper, uncovering a
long-standing lockdep issue between the irq-unsafe shmlock_user_lock,
the irq-safe xa_lock on mapping->i_pages, and shmem inode's info->lock
which nests inside xa_lock (or tree_lock) since 4.8's shmem_uncharge().
user_shm_lock(), servicing SysV shmctl(SHM_LOCK), wants
shmlock_user_lock while its caller shmem_lock() holds info->lock with
interrupts disabled; but hugetlbfs_file_setup() calls user_shm_lock()
with interrupts enabled, and might be interrupted by a writeback endio
wanting xa_lock on i_pages.
This may not risk an actual deadlock, since shmem inodes do not take
part in writeback accounting, but there are several easy ways to avoid
it.
Requiring interrupts disabled for shmlock_user_lock would be easy, but
it's a high-level global lock for which that seems inappropriate.
Instead, recall that the use of info->lock to guard info->flags in
shmem_lock() dates from pre-3.1 days, when races with SHMEM_PAGEIN and
SHMEM_TRUNCATE could occur: nowadays it serves no purpose, the only flag
added or removed is VM_LOCKED itself, and calls to shmem_lock() an inode
are already serialized by the caller.
Take info->lock out of the chain and the possibility of deadlock or
lockdep warning goes away.

Yang Shi writes:
Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP
(start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get
cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP.
Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the
THP may still be kept in page cache.
This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but
balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP
as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since
it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the
memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will
be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP
still stays in page cache.)
Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails
just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes.
Hugh Dickins adds:
Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way
that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to
split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over
to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge
pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a
hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then
the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page.
That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page
prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky.
But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any
problem from that.
Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is
needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in
shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any
page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or
do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when
clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when
clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed.
But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s
pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix
that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one
compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack;
but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will
do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping()
and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec
speedup by checking for compound pages there.

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements cannot
be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as they are
not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic stack
variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they don't
get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization (via
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also doesn't
initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase, so
even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.
To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where they're
used or lift them up into the main function body.

The thp_fault_fallback and thp_file_fallback vmstats are incremented if
either the hugepage allocation fails through the page allocator or the
hugepage charge fails through mem cgroup.
This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields,
thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem
cgroup charge fails.
This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to
fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem
cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation
on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

Additionally, remove the check for CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE from

- Christian extended clone3 so that processes can be spawned into
cgroups directly.
This is not only neat in terms of semantics but also avoids grabbing
the global cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem for migration.
- Daniel added !root xattr support to cgroupfs.
Userland already uses xattrs on cgroupfs for bookkeeping. This will
allow delegated cgroups to support such usages.
- Prateek tried to make cpuset hotplug handling synchronous but that
led to possible deadlock scenarios. Reverted.
- Other minor changes including release_agent_path handling cleanup.

Shmem/tmpfs tries to provide THP-friendly mappings if huge pages are
enabled. But it doesn't work well with above-47bit hint address.
Normally, the kernel doesn't create userspace mappings above 47-bit,
even if the machine allows this (such as with 5-level paging on x86-64).
Not all user space is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that
at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their
information.
Userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying
hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 47-bits. If the
application doesn't need a particular address, but wants to allocate
from whole address space it can specify -1 as a hint address.
Unfortunately, this trick breaks THP alignment in shmem/tmp:
shmem_get_unmapped_area() would not try to allocate PMD-aligned area if
*any* hint address specified.
This can be fixed by requesting the aligned area if the we failed to
allocated at user-specified hint address. The request with inflated
length will also take the user-specified hint address. This way we will
not lose an allocation request from the full address space.

The shmem_writepage() uses GFP_ATOMIC to allocate swap cache. GFP_ATOMIC
used to mean __GFP_HIGH, but now it means __GFP_HIGH | __GFP_ATOMIC |
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. However, shmem_writepage() should write out to swap
only in response to memory pressure, so __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM looks useless
since the caller may be kswapd itself or in direct reclaim already.
In addition, XArray node allocations from PF_MEMALLOC contexts could
completely exhaust the page allocator, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC stops emergency
reserves from being allocated.
Here just copy the gfp flags used by add_to_swap().

F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE has unexpected behavior when used with MAP_PRIVATE:
A private mapping created after the memfd file that gets sealed with
F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE loses the copy-on-write at fork behavior, meaning
children and parent share the same memory, even though the mapping is
private.
The reason for this is due to the code below:
static int shmem_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
struct shmem_inode_info *info = SHMEM_I(file_inode(file));
if (info->seals & F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE) {
/*
* New PROT_WRITE and MAP_SHARED mmaps are not allowed when
* "future write" seal active.
*/
if ((vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED) && (vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
return -EPERM;
/*
* Since the F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seals allow for a MAP_SHARED
* read-only mapping, take care to not allow mprotect to revert
* protections.
*/
vma->vm_flags &= ~(VM_MAYWRITE);
}
...
}
And for the mm to know if a mapping is copy-on-write:
static inline bool is_cow_mapping(vm_flags_t flags)
{
return (flags & (VM_SHARED | VM_MAYWRITE)) == VM_MAYWRITE;
}
The patch fixes the issue by making the mprotect revert protection
happen only for shared mappings. For private mappings, using mprotect
will have no effect on the seal behavior.
The F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE feature was introduced in v5.1 so v5.3.x stable
kernels would need a backport.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.
* emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>:
mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
This reverts commit 92717d429b.
Since commit a8282608c8 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

Convert the ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs and rootfs filesystems to the new
internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This
allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between
userspace, the VFS and the filesystem.
See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
Note that tmpfs is slightly tricky as it can contain embedded commas, so it
can't be trivially split up using strsep() to break on commas in
generic_parse_monolithic(). Instead, tmpfs has to supply its own generic
parser.
However, if tmpfs changes, then devtmpfs and rootfs, which are wrappers
around tmpfs or ramfs, must change too - and thus so must ramfs, so these
had to be converted also.

... and copy the data from it into sbinfo in the callers.
For use by remount we need to keep track whether there'd
been options setting max_inodes, max_blocks and huge resp.
and do the sanity checks (and copying) only if such options
had been seen. uid/gid/mode is ignored by remount and
NULL mpol is already explicitly treated as "ignore it",
so we don't need to keep track of those.
Note: theoretically, mpol_parse_string() may return NULL
not in case of error (for default policy), so the assumption
that NULL mpol means "change nothing" is incorrect. However,
that's the mainline behaviour and any changes belong in
a separate patch. If we go for that, we'll need to keep
track of having encountered mpol= option too.

Patch series "reapply: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings".
The fixes for what was originally reported as "pathological THP
behavior" we rightfully reverted to be sure not to introduced
regressions at end of a merge window after a severe regression report
from the kernel bot. We can safely re-apply them now that we had time
to analyze the problem.
The mm process worked fine, because the good fixes were eventually
committed upstream without excessive delay.
The regression reported by the kernel bot however forced us to revert
the good fixes to be sure not to introduce regressions and to give us
the time to analyze the issue further. The silver lining is that this
extra time allowed to think more at this issue and also plan for a
future direction to improve things further in terms of THP NUMA
locality.
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit 356ff8a9a7 ("Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP
gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"). So it reapplies
89c83fb539 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into
alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask").
Consolidation of the THP allocation flags at the same place was meant to
be a clean up to easier handle otherwise scattered code which is
imposing a maintenance burden. There were no real problems observed
with the gfp mask consolidation but the reversion was rushed through
without a larger consensus regardless.
This patch brings the consolidation back because this should make the
long term maintainability easier as well as it should allow future
changes to be less error prone.

Commit 7635d9cbe8 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps. But, when
checking the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled()
is called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled(). It may
result in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's. For example,
running a simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP
disabled, when reading the process's smaps, it may show:
7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
Size: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
THPeligible: 0
And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:
ShmemHugePages: 4096 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
This doesn't make too much sense. The shmem objects should be treated
separately from anonymous THP. Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with
checking MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough. And, we could skip stack
and dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.
Also check if vma is suitable for THP by calling
transhuge_vma_suitable().
And minor fix to smaps output format and documentation.

The igrab() in shmem_unuse() looks good, but we forgot that it gives no
protection against concurrent unmounting: a point made by Konstantin
Khlebnikov eight years ago, and then fixed in 2.6.39 by 778dd893ae
("tmpfs: fix race between umount and swapoff"). The current 5.1-rc
swapoff is liable to hit "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of tmpfs.
Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day..." followed by GPF.
Once again, give up on using igrab(); but don't go back to making such
heavy-handed use of shmem_swaplist_mutex as last time: that would spoil
the new design, and I expect could deadlock inside shmem_swapin_page().
Instead, shmem_unuse() just raise a "stop_eviction" count in the shmem-
specific inode, and shmem_evict_inode() wait for that to go down to 0.
Call it "stop_eviction" rather than "swapoff_busy" because it can be put
to use for others later (huge tmpfs patches expect to use it).
That simplifies shmem_unuse(), protecting it from both unlink and
unmount; and in practice lets it locate all the swap in its first try.
But do not rely on that: there's still a theoretical case, when
shmem_writepage() might have been preempted after its get_swap_page(),
before making the swap entry visible to swapoff.

Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions. We are looking forward
to migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly
remove the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also
benefiting from using memfd and contributing to it. Note staging
drivers are also not ABI and generally can be removed at anytime.
One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region
and mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any
"future" writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed
writeable-region active. This allows us to implement a usecase where
receivers of the shared memory buffer can get a read-only view, while
the sender continues to write to the buffer. See CursorWindow
documentation in Android for more details:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow
This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal.
To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
keeping the existing mmap active.
A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
behavior of the seal. This solves several side-effects pointed by Andy.
self-tests are provided in later patch to verify the expected semantics.

This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch
with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and
optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and
Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new
results.
try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort.
It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the
page tables for all the processes in the system for each one.
This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its
complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing
all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also
makes similar changes to shmem_unuse.
Improvement
swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a
VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted.
Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util).
Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util).
Details
In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each
shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to
shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(),
iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of
each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside
of the RCU critical section.
In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and
unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the
processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass
each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk,
unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by
try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap
entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache.
If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat
the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times.
Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to
unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over
their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration.
In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using
the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call
swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte().
Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in
