Turn __dump_page() into a wrapper around __dump_folio().  Snapshot the
page &amp; folio into a stack variable so we don't hit BUG_ON() if an
allocation is freed under us and what was a folio pointer becomes a
pointer to a tail page.

Rename max_seq to seq in struct lru_gen_mm_walk to keep consistent with
struct lru_gen_mm_state.  Note that seq is not always up to date with
max_seq from lru_gen_folio.

No functional changes.

<title>mm, kmsan: fix infinite recursion due to RCU critical section</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=f6564fce256a3944aa1bc76cb3c40e792d97c1eb'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f6564fce256a3944aa1bc76cb3c40e792d97c1eb</id>
<content type='text'>
Alexander Potapenko writes in [1]: "For every memory access in the code
instrumented by KMSAN we call kmsan_get_metadata() to obtain the metadata
for the memory being accessed.  For virtual memory the metadata pointers
are stored in the corresponding `struct page`, therefore we need to call
virt_to_page() to get them.

According to the comment in arch/x86/include/asm/page.h,
virt_to_page(kaddr) returns a valid pointer iff virt_addr_valid(kaddr) is
true, so KMSAN needs to call virt_addr_valid() as well.

To avoid recursion, kmsan_get_metadata() must not call instrumented code,
therefore ./arch/x86/include/asm/kmsan.h forks parts of
arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c to check whether a virtual address is valid or not.

But the introduction of rcu_read_lock() to pfn_valid() added instrumented
RCU API calls to virt_to_page_or_null(), which is called by
kmsan_get_metadata(), so there is an infinite recursion now.  I do not
think it is correct to stop that recursion by doing
kmsan_enter_runtime()/kmsan_exit_runtime() in kmsan_get_metadata(): that
would prevent instrumented functions called from within the runtime from
tracking the shadow values, which might introduce false positives."

Fix the issue by switching pfn_valid() to the _sched() variant of
rcu_read_lock/unlock(), which does not require calling into RCU.  Given
the critical section in pfn_valid() is very small, this is a reasonable
trade-off (with preemptible RCU).

KMSAN further needs to be careful to suppress calls into the scheduler,
which would be another source of recursion.  This can be done by wrapping
the call to pfn_valid() into preempt_disable/enable_no_resched().  The
downside is that this sacrifices breaking scheduling guarantees; however,
a kernel compiled with KMSAN has already given up any performance
guarantees due to being heavily instrumented.

Note, KMSAN code already disables tracing via Makefile, and since mmzone.h
is included, it is not necessary to use the notrace variant, which is
generally preferred in all other cases.

<content type='text'>
commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page
allocator, ranging from 0 to MAX_ORDER, MAX_ORDER + 1 in total.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

Demotion can work well without CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.  But the commit
23e9f0138963 ("mm/vmstat: move pgdemote_* to per-node stats") wrongly hid
it behind CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

Fix it by moving them out of CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

Add CONFIG_LRU_GEN_WALKS_MMU such that if disabled, the code that
walks page tables to promote pages into the youngest generation will
not be built.

Also improves code readability by adding two helper functions
get_mm_state() and get_next_mm().

<title>mm/sparsemem: fix race in accessing memory_section-&gt;usage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5ec8e8ea8b7783fab150cf86404fc38cb4db8800</id>
<content type='text'>
The below race is observed on a PFN which falls into the device memory
region with the system memory configuration where PFN's are such that
[ZONE_NORMAL ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_NORMAL].  Since normal zone start and end
pfn contains the device memory PFN's as well, the compaction triggered
will try on the device memory PFN's too though they end up in NOP(because
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for ZONE_DEVICE memory sections).  When
from other core, the section mappings are being removed for the
ZONE_DEVICE region, that the PFN in question belongs to, on which
compaction is currently being operated is resulting into the kernel crash
with CONFIG_SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled.  The crash logs can be seen at [1].

compact_zone()			memunmap_pages
-------------			---------------
__pageblock_pfn_to_page
   ......
 (a)pfn_valid():
     valid_section()//return true
			      (b)__remove_pages()-&gt;
				  sparse_remove_section()-&gt;
				    section_deactivate():
				    [Free the array ms-&gt;usage and set
				     ms-&gt;usage = NULL]
     pfn_section_valid()
     [Access ms-&gt;usage which
     is NULL]

NOTE: From the above it can be said that the race is reduced to between
the pfn_valid()/pfn_section_valid() and the section deactivate with
SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled.

The commit b943f045a9af("mm/sparse: fix kernel crash with
pfn_section_valid check") tried to address the same problem by clearing
the SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP with the expectation of valid_section() returns
false thus ms-&gt;usage is not accessed.

Fix this issue by the below steps:

a) Clear SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP before freeing the -&gt;usage.

b) RCU protected read side critical section will either return NULL
   when SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared or can successfully access -&gt;usage.

c) Free the -&gt;usage with kfree_rcu() and set ms-&gt;usage = NULL.  No
   attempt will be made to access -&gt;usage after this as the
   SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared thus valid_section() return false.

Thanks to David/Pavan for their inputs on this patch.

On Snapdragon SoC, with the mentioned memory configuration of PFN's as
[ZONE_NORMAL ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_NORMAL], we are able to see bunch of
issues daily while testing on a device farm.

For this particular issue below is the log.  Though the below log is
not directly pointing to the pfn_section_valid(){ ms-&gt;usage;}, when we
loaded this dump on T32 lauterbach tool, it is pointing.
