Commit 2c4541e24c55 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and
data segments") tried to initialize various left-over ad-hoc vma's
"properly", but actually made things worse for the temporary vma's used
for TLB flushing.

vma_init() doesn't actually initialize all of the vma, just a few
fields, so doing something like

   -       struct vm_area_struct vma = { .vm_mm = tlb-&gt;mm, };
   +       struct vm_area_struct vma;
   +
   +       vma_init(&amp;vma, tlb-&gt;mm);

was actually very bad: instead of having a nicely initialized vma with
every field but "vm_mm" zeroed, you'd have an entirely uninitialized vma
with only a couple of fields initialized.  And they weren't even fields
that the code in question mostly cared about.

The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a
"struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what
kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a
range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example.  And all the
normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation.

But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just
made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma.  x86 just has a
special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other
architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and
thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes.

At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most
other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and
pointless.

This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for
the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64
people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma.

vma_is_anonymous() relies on -&gt;vm_ops being NULL to detect anonymous
VMA.  This is unreliable as -&gt;mmap may not set -&gt;vm_ops.

False-positive vma_is_anonymous() may lead to crashes:

This can be fixed by assigning anonymous VMAs own vm_ops and not relying
on it being NULL.

If -&gt;mmap() failed to set -&gt;vm_ops, mmap_region() will set it to
dummy_vm_ops.  This way we will have non-NULL -&gt;vm_ops for all VMAs.

Not all VMAs allocated with vm_area_alloc().  Some of them allocated on
stack or in data segment.

The new helper can be use to initialize VMA properly regardless where it
was allocated.

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the
basic mm pointer.

The rest of the fields end up being different for different users,
although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy
entry.

<title>mm: use helper functions for allocating and freeing vm_area structs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3928d4f5ee37cdc523894f6e549e6aae521d8980</id>
<content type='text'>
The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.

We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.

Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls.  This is a purely mechanical conversion:

    # new vma:
    kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_alloc()

    # copy old vma
    kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_dup(old)

    # free vma
    kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -&gt; vm_area_free(vma)

to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).

<title>mm: don't do zero_resv_unavail if memmap is not allocated</title>

<content type='text'>
Moving zero_resv_unavail before memmap_init_zone(), caused a regression on
x86-32.

The cause is that we access struct pages before they are allocated when
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is used.

free_area_init_nodes()
  zero_resv_unavail()
    mm_zero_struct_page(pfn_to_page(pfn)); &lt;- struct page is not alloced
  free_area_init_node()
    if CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP
      alloc_node_mem_map()
        memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() &lt;- struct page alloced here

On the other hand memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() zeroes all the memory
that it returns, so we do not need to do zero_resv_unavail() here.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
  memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
  x86-dax- for-linus pull.

  Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
  handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
  mappings.

  Summary:

   - DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
     pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
     pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
     block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
     Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
     pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
     could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.

   - DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
     dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
     However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
     block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
     block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().

   - Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
     Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
     are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
     power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed
     on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests"
