[ Upstream commit 2cf3a3c4b84def5406b830452b1cb8bbfffe0ebe ]

When signals are hard-blocked in order to do time-travel
socket processing, we set signals_blocked and then handle
SIGIO signals by setting the SIGIO bit in signals_pending.
When unblocking, we first set signals_blocked to 0, and
then handle all pending signals. We have to set it first,
so that we can again properly block/unblock inside the
unblock, if the time-travel handlers need to be processed.

Unfortunately, this is racy. We can get into this situation:

// signals_pending = SIGIO_MASK

unblock_signals_hard()
   signals_blocked = 0;
   if (signals_pending &amp;&amp; signals_enabled) {
     block_signals();
     unblock_signals()
       ...
       sig_handler_common(SIGIO, NULL, NULL);
         sigio_handler()
           ...
           sigio_reg_handler()
             irq_do_timetravel_handler()
               reg-&gt;timetravel_handler() ==
               vu_req_interrupt_comm_handler()
                 vu_req_read_message()
                   vhost_user_recv_req()
                     vhost_user_recv()
                       vhost_user_recv_header()
                         // reads 12 bytes header of
                         // 20 bytes message
&lt;-- receive SIGIO here &lt;--
sig_handler()
   int enabled = signals_enabled; // 1
   if ((signals_blocked || !enabled) &amp;&amp; (sig == SIGIO)) {
     if (!signals_blocked &amp;&amp; time_travel_mode == TT_MODE_EXTERNAL)
       sigio_run_timetravel_handlers()
         _sigio_handler()
           sigio_reg_handler()
             ... as above ...
               vhost_user_recv_header()
                 // reads 8 bytes that were message payload
                 // as if it were header - but aborts since
                 // it then gets -EAGAIN
...
--&gt; end signal handler --&gt;
                       // continue in vhost_user_recv()
                       // full_read() for 8 bytes payload busy loops
                       // entire process hangs here

Conceptually, to fix this, we need to ensure that the
signal handler cannot run while we hard-unblock signals.
The thing that makes this more complex is that we can be
doing hard-block/unblock while unblocking. Introduce a
new signals_blocked_pending variable that we can keep at
non-zero as long as pending signals are being processed,
then we only need to ensure it's decremented safely and
the signal handler will only increment it if it's already
non-zero (or signals_blocked is set, of course.)

Note also that only the outermost call to hard-unblock is
allowed to decrement signals_blocked_pending, since it
could otherwise reach zero in an inner call, and leave
the same race happening if the timetravel_handler loops,
but that's basically required of it.

[ Upstream commit 31ade7d4fdcf382beb8cb229a1f5d77e0f239672 ]

Discard and Write Zeroes are different operation and implemented
by different fallocate opcodes for ubd.  If one fails the other one
can work and vice versa.

Split the code to disable the operations in ubd_handler to only
disable the operation that actually failed.

Instead of a separate handler function that leaves no work in the
interrupt hanler itself, split out a per-request end I/O helper and
clean up the coding style and variable naming while we're at it.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

   - Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

   - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

   - Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

   - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
	"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
	"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"
