commit d1b2cf6cb84a9bd0de6f151512648dd1af82f80f upstream.

Object cgroup charging is done for all the objects during allocation, but
during freeing, uncharging ends up happening for only one object in the
case of bulk allocation/freeing.

Fix this by having a separate call to uncharge all the objects from
kmem_cache_free_bulk() and by modifying memcg_slab_free_hook() to take
care of bulk uncharging.

commit 13bd691421bc191a402d2e0d3da5f248d170a632 upstream.

Once we've copied some data for an iocb that is marked with IOCB_WAITQ,
we should no longer attempt to async lock a new page. Instead make sure
we return the copied amount, and let the caller retry, instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED for a new page.

This should only be possible with read-ahead disabled on the below
device, and multiple threads racing on the same file. Haven't been able
to reproduce on anything else.

After further digging it's found that the following race condition exists in the
original implementation,

CPU1                                                             CPU2
----                                                             ----
deferred_split_scan()
  split_huge_page(page) /* page isn't compound head */
    split_huge_page_to_list(page, NULL)
      __split_huge_page(page, )
        ClearPageCompound(head)
        /* unlock all subpages except page (not head) */
                                                                 add_to_swap(head)  /* not THP */
                                                                   get_swap_page(head)
                                                                   add_to_swap_cache(head, )
                                                                     SetPageSwapCache(head)
     if PageSwapCache(head)
       split_swap_cluster(/* swap entry of head */)
         /* Deref sis-&gt;cluster_info: NULL accessing! */

So, in split_huge_page_to_list(), PageSwapCache() is called for the already
split and unlocked "head", which may be added to swap cache in another CPU.  So
split_swap_cluster() may be called wrongly.

To fix the race, the call to split_swap_cluster() is moved to
__split_huge_page() before all subpages are unlocked.  So that the
PageSwapCache() is stable.

File THPs may now be of arbitrary size, and we can't rely on that size
after doing the split so remember the number of pages before we start the
split.

[ Upstream commit 8fb156c9ee2db94f7127c930c89917634a1a9f56 ]

The implementation of split_page_owner() prefers a count rather than the
old order of the page.  When we support a variable size THP, we won't
have the order at this point, but we will have the number of pages.
So change the interface to what the caller and callee would prefer.

<title>mm, oom_adj: don't loop through tasks in __set_oom_adj when not necessary</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 67197a4f28d28d0b073ab0427b03cb2ee5382578 ]

Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm.  This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.

Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important.  Such operation can happen frequently.  We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression.  Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us.  Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.

Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with
(CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK).  Change __set_oom_adj to use
MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj
update should be synchronized between multiple processes.  To prevent
races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the
process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use
oom_adj_mutex.  Its scope is changed to global.

The combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork().  To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified.  Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare.  Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.

With the combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

Here is a very rare race which leaks memory:

Page P0 is allocated to the page cache.  Page P1 is free.

Thread A                Thread B                Thread C
find_get_entry():
xas_load() returns P0
						Removes P0 from page cache
						P0 finds its buddy P1
			alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 1) returns P0
			P0 has refcount 1
page_cache_get_speculative(P0)
P0 has refcount 2
			__free_pages(P0)
			P0 has refcount 1
put_page(P0)
P1 is not freed

Fix this by freeing all the pages in __free_pages() that won't be freed
by the call to put_page().  It's usually not a good idea to split a page,
but this is a very unlikely scenario.

[ Upstream commit 8332326e8e47fbc35711433419c31f610153dd58 ]

Replace do_brk with do_brk_flags in comment of insert_vm_struct(), since
do_brk was removed in following commit.

[ Upstream commit 9a137153fc8798a89d8fce895cd0a06ea5b8e37c ]

The code in mc_handle_swap_pte() checks for non_swap_entry() and returns
NULL before checking is_device_private_entry() so device private pages are
never handled.  Fix this by checking for non_swap_entry() after handling
device private swap PTEs.

I assume the memory cgroup accounting would be off somehow when moving
a process to another memory cgroup.  Currently, the device private page
is charged like a normal anonymous page when allocated and is uncharged
when the page is freed so I think that path is OK.

<title>mm: memcg/slab: fix racy access to page-&gt;mem_cgroup in mem_cgroup_from_obj()</title>

[ Upstream commit 19b629c9795bfe67bf77be8fb611b84424b56d91 ]

mem_cgroup_from_obj() checks the lowest bit of the page-&gt;mem_cgroup
pointer to determine if the page has an attached obj_cgroup vector instead
of a regular memcg pointer.  If it's not set, it simple returns the
page-&gt;mem_cgroup value as a struct mem_cgroup pointer.

The commit 10befea91b61 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches
for all allocations") changed the moment when this bit is set: if
previously it was set on the allocation of the slab page, now it can be
set well after, when the first accounted object is allocated on this page.

It opened a race: if page-&gt;mem_cgroup is set concurrently after the first
page_has_obj_cgroups(page) check, a pointer to the obj_cgroups array can
be returned as a memory cgroup pointer.

A simple check for page-&gt;mem_cgroup pointer for NULL before the
page_has_obj_cgroups() check fixes the race.  Indeed, if the pointer is
not NULL, it's either a simple mem_cgroup pointer or a pointer to
obj_cgroup vector.  The pointer can be asynchronously changed from NULL to
(obj_cgroup_vec | 0x1UL), but can't be changed from a valid memcg pointer
to objcg vector or back.

If the object passed to mem_cgroup_from_obj() is a slab object and
page-&gt;mem_cgroup is NULL, it means that the object is not accounted, so
the function must return NULL.

I've discovered the race looking at the code, so far I haven't seen it in
the wild.
