commit 31286a8484a85e8b4e91ddb0f5415aee8a416827 upstream.

Recently the following BUG was reported:

    Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x3c0000 at process virtual address 0x7fe300000000
    Memory failure: 0x3c0000: recovery action for huge page: Recovered
    BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8dfcc0003000
    IP: gup_pgd_range+0x1f0/0xc20
    PGD 17ae72067 P4D 17ae72067 PUD 0
    Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
    ...
    CPU: 3 PID: 5467 Comm: hugetlb_1gb Not tainted 4.15.0-rc8-mm1-abc+ #3
    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.9.3-1.fc25 04/01/2014

You can easily reproduce this by calling madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) twice on
a 1GB hugepage.  This happens because get_user_pages_fast() is not aware
of a migration entry on pud that was created in the 1st madvise() event.

I think that conversion to pud-aligned migration entry is working, but
other MM code walking over page table isn't prepared for it.  We need
some time and effort to make all this work properly, so this patch
avoids the reported bug by just disabling error handling for 1GB
hugepage.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Ross Zwisler:

 - Require struct page by default for filesystem DAX to remove a number
   of surprising failure cases. This includes failures with direct I/O,
   gdb and fork(2).

 - Add support for the new Platform Capabilities Structure added to the
   NFIT in ACPI 6.2a. This new table tells us whether the platform
   supports flushing of CPU and memory controller caches on unexpected
   power loss events.

 - Revamp vmem_altmap and dev_pagemap handling to clean up code and
   better support future future PCI P2P uses.

 - Deprecate the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command whose payload has
   become out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL
   spec, and instead rely on the generic ND_CMD_CALL approach used by
   the two other IOCTL families, NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}.

 - Enhance nfit_test so we can test some of the new things added in
   version 1.6 of the DSM specification. This includes testing firmware
   download and simulating the Last Shutdown State (LSS) status.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes.  Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that.  That's a sign of a bad interface.

Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

Today 4 architectures set ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE (arm64, parisc,
powerpc, and x86), while 4 other architectures set __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO
(alpha, metag, sparc, and tile).  These two sets of architectures do
not interesect so remove the trapno paramater to remove confusion.

<id>2bb6d2837083de722bfdc369cb0d76ce188dd9b4</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2.

Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to
keep an elevated page count indefinitely.  This is distinct from usages
like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient.
The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the
pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation
completes (under kernel control).

In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page
reference at some undefined point in the future.  This is untenable for
filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime
of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait
for pages in a mapping to become idle.

Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before
blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for
a later patch series.

Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch
series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can
revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references.

I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might
assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings
were supported by the kernel.  The behavior regression this policy
change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled.
Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting
a filesystem in dax mode.

It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same
constraints since it does not support file space management operations
like hole-punch.

This patch (of 4):

Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against
filesytem-dax vmas.  Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are
explicitly allowed.

This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease"
mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and
V4L2).

Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2.

Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to
keep an elevated page count indefinitely.  This is distinct from usages
like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient.
The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the
pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation
completes (under kernel control).

In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page
reference at some undefined point in the future.  This is untenable for
filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime
of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait
for pages in a mapping to become idle.

Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before
blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for
a later patch series.

Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch
series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can
revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references.

I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might
assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings
were supported by the kernel.  The behavior regression this policy
change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled.
Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting
a filesystem in dax mode.

It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same
constraints since it does not support file space management operations
like hole-punch.

This patch (of 4):

Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against
filesytem-dax vmas.  Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are
explicitly allowed.

This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease"
mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and
V4L2).

Patch series "device-dax: fix unaligned munmap handling"

When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like
hugetlbfs and fail attempts to split vmas into unaligned ranges.  It
would be messy to teach the munmap path about device-dax alignment
constraints in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this
constraint.  Instead, these patches introduce a new -&gt;split() vm
operation.

This patch (of 2):

The device-dax interface has similar constraints as hugetlbfs in that it
requires the munmap path to unmap in huge page aligned units.  Rather
than add more custom vma handling code in __split_vma() introduce a new
vm operation to perform this vma specific check.
