mm: bdi: initialize bdi_min_ratio when bdi is unregistered

2021-12-14T09:03:48Z

commit 3c376dfafbf7a8ea0dea212d095ddd83e93280bb upstream. Initialize min_ratio if it is set during bdi unregistration. This can prevent problems that may occur a when bdi is removed without resetting min_ratio. For example. 1) insert external sdcard 2) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 3) remove external sdcard without setting min_ratio 0 4) insert external sdcard 5) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 << error occur(can't set) Because when an sdcard is removed, the present bdi_min_ratio value will remain. Currently, the only way to reset bdi_min_ratio is to reboot.

hugetlb: take PMD sharing into account when flushing tlb/caches

2021-12-08T07:44:07Z

commit dff11abe280b47c21b804a8ace318e0638bb9a49 upstream. When fixing an issue with PMD sharing and migration, it was discovered via code inspection that other callers of huge_pmd_unshare potentially have an issue with cache and tlb flushing. Use the routine adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible() to calculate worst case ranges for mmu notifiers. Ensure that this range is flushed if huge_pmd_unshare succeeds and unmaps a PUD_SUZE area.

hugetlbfs: flush TLBs correctly after huge_pmd_unshare

2021-12-08T07:44:06Z

commit a4a118f2eead1d6c49e00765de89878288d4b890 upstream. When __unmap_hugepage_range() calls to huge_pmd_unshare() succeed, a TLB flush is missing. This TLB flush must be performed before releasing the i_mmap_rwsem, in order to prevent an unshared PMDs page from being released and reused before the TLB flush took place. Arguably, a comprehensive solution would use mmu_gather interface to batch the TLB flushes and the PMDs page release, however it is not an easy solution: (1) try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one() also call huge_pmd_unshare() and they cannot use the mmu_gather interface; and (2) deferring the release of the page reference for the PMDs page until after i_mmap_rwsem is dropeed can confuse huge_pmd_unshare() into thinking PMDs are shared when they are not. Fix __unmap_hugepage_range() by adding the missing TLB flush, and forcing a flush when unshare is successful.

mm: kmemleak: slob: respect SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE flag

2021-11-26T10:58:44Z

commit 34dbc3aaf5d9e89ba6cc5e24add9458c21ab1950 upstream. When kmemleak is enabled for SLOB, system does not boot and does not print anything to the console. At the very early stage in the boot process we hit infinite recursion from kmemleak_init() and eventually kernel crashes. kmemleak_init() specifies SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE for KMEM_CACHE(), but kmem_cache_create_usercopy() removes it because CACHE_CREATE_MASK is not valid for SLOB.

mm, oom: pagefault_out_of_memory: don't force global OOM for dying tasks

2021-11-26T10:58:42Z

commit 0b28179a6138a5edd9d82ad2687c05b3773c387b upstream. Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3. Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard limit. It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside a memcg-limited container. On the other hand if memcg fails allocation, called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside pagefault_out_of_memory(). To prevent these problems this patchset: (a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is necessary. (b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks. This patch (of 3): Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes out_out_memory() and can kill a random task. An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and there are no memory reserves left. The OOM killer is already handled at the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level for the memcg one. Both have much more information about the scope of allocation/charge request. This means that either the OOM killer has been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked. In both cases triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful. It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim for breakfast.

mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing

2021-10-17T08:04:44Z

commit 38e088546522e1e86d2b8f401a1354ad3a9b3303 upstream. The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault. User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called. However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and __get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory region. A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set. This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some simple repro code. There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page() added at commit c0e7cad to avoid accidentally provoking strange behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in fact PROT_NONE. The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro. This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue

2021-10-17T08:04:44Z

commit 17839856fd588f4ab6b789f482ed3ffd7c403e1f upstream. Doing a "get_user_pages()" on a copy-on-write page for reading can be ambiguous: the page can be COW'ed at any time afterwards, and the direction of a COW event isn't defined. Yes, whoever writes to it will generally do the COW, but if the thread that did the get_user_pages() unmapped the page before the write (and that could happen due to memory pressure in addition to any outright action), the writer could also just take over the old page instead. End result: the get_user_pages() call might result in a page pointer that is no longer associated with the original VM, and is associated with - and controlled by - another VM having taken it over instead. So when doing a get_user_pages() on a COW mapping, the only really safe thing to do would be to break the COW when getting the page, even when only getting it for reading. At the same time, some users simply don't even care. For example, the perf code wants to look up the page not because it cares about the page, but because the code simply wants to look up the physical address of the access for informational purposes, and doesn't really care about races when a page might be unmapped and remapped elsewhere. This adds logic to force a COW event by setting FOLL_WRITE on any copy-on-write mapping when FOLL_GET (or FOLL_PIN) is used to get a page pointer as a result. The current semantics end up being: - __get_user_pages_fast(): no change. If you don't ask for a write, you won't break COW. You'd better know what you're doing. - get_user_pages_fast(): the fast-case "look it up in the page tables without anything getting mmap_sem" now refuses to follow a read-only page, since it might need COW breaking. Which happens in the slow path - the fast path doesn't know if the memory might be COW or not. - get_user_pages() (including the slow-path fallback for gup_fast()): for a COW mapping, turn on FOLL_WRITE for FOLL_GET/FOLL_PIN, with very similar semantics to FOLL_FORCE. If it turns out that we want finer granularity (ie "only break COW when it might actually matter" - things like the zero page are special and don't need to be broken) we might need to push these semantics deeper into the lookup fault path. So if people care enough, it's possible that we might end up adding a new internal FOLL_BREAK_COW flag to go with the internal FOLL_COW flag we already have for tracking "I had a COW". Alternatively, if it turns out that different callers might want to explicitly control the forced COW break behavior, we might even want to make such a flag visible to the users of get_user_pages() instead of using the above default semantics. But for now, this is mostly commentary on the issue (this commit message being a lot bigger than the patch, and that patch in turn is almost all comments), with that minimal "enable COW breaking early" logic using the existing FOLL_WRITE behavior. [ It might be worth noting that we've always had this ambiguity, and it could arguably be seen as a user-space issue. You only get private COW mappings that could break either way in situations where user space is doing cooperative things (ie fork() before an execve() etc), but it _is_ surprising and very subtle, and fork() is supposed to give you independent address spaces. So let's treat this as a kernel issue and make the semantics of get_user_pages() easier to understand. Note that obviously a true shared mapping will still get a page that can change under us, so this does _not_ mean that get_user_pages() somehow returns any "stable" page ] [surenb: backport notes Since gup_pgd_range does not exist, made appropriate changes on the the gup_huge_pgd, gup_huge_pd and gup_pud_range calls instead.

mm/page_alloc: speed up the iteration of max_order

2021-09-22T09:41:18Z

commit 7ad69832f37e3cea8557db6df7c793905f1135e8 upstream. When we free a page whose order is very close to MAX_ORDER and greater than pageblock_order, it wastes some CPU cycles to increase max_order to MAX_ORDER one by one and check the pageblock migratetype of that page repeatedly especially when MAX_ORDER is much larger than pageblock_order. We also should not be checking migratetype of buddy when "order == MAX_ORDER - 1" as the buddy pfn may be invalid, so adjust the condition. With the new check, we don't need the max_order check anymore, so we replace it. Also adjust max_order initialization so that it's lower by one than previously, which makes the code hopefully more clear.
