module/decompress: use vmalloc() for gzip decompression workspace

2023-11-20T10:52:03Z

[ Upstream commit 3737df782c740b944912ed93420c57344b1cf864 ] Use a similar approach as commit a419beac4a07 ("module/decompress: use vmalloc() for zstd decompression workspace") and replace kmalloc() with vmalloc() also for the gzip module decompression workspace. In this case the workspace is represented by struct inflate_workspace that can be fairly large for kmalloc() and it can potentially lead to allocation errors on certain systems: $ pahole inflate_workspace struct inflate_workspace { struct inflate_state inflate_state; /* 0 9544 */ /* --- cacheline 149 boundary (9536 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ unsigned char working_window[32768]; /* 9544 32768 */ /* size: 42312, cachelines: 662, members: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; Considering that there is no need to use continuous physical memory, simply switch to vmalloc() to provide a more reliable in-kernel module decompression.

[ Upstream commit 45af1d7aae7d5520d2858f8517a1342646f015db ] The module_get_next_page() function return error pointers on error instead of NULL. Use IS_ERR() to check the return value to fix this.

module: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

2022-07-20T21:27:46Z

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot becomes available. With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). Tasks can be preempted and, when scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. kmap_local_page() is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Since the use of kmap_local_page() in module_gzip_decompress() and in module_xz_decompress() is safe (i.e., it does not break the strict rules of use), it should be preferred over kmap(). Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page(). Tested on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM with 4GB RAM, booting kernels with HIGHMEM64GB enabled. Modules compressed with XZ or GZIP decompress properly.
