mm: refactor vm_area_struct::anon_vma_name usage code

2022-03-05T19:08:32+00:00

Avoid mixing strings and their anon_vma_name referenced pointers by
using struct anon_vma_name whenever possible.  This simplifies the code
and allows easier sharing of anon_vma_name structures when they
represent the same name.

mm, kasan: use compare-exchange operation to set KASAN page tag

2022-01-30T07:56:58+00:00

It has been reported that the tag setting operation on newly-allocated
pages can cause the page flags to be corrupted when performed
concurrently with other flag updates as a result of the use of
non-atomic operations.

Fix the problem by using a compare-exchange loop to update the tag.

Merge tag 'folio-5.17a' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache

2022-01-22T08:43:07+00:00

Pull more folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Three small folio patches.

  One bug fix, one patch pulled forward from the patches destined for
  5.18 and then a patch to make use of that functionality"

* tag 'folio-5.17a' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache:
  filemap: Use folio_put_refs() in filemap_free_folio()
  mm: Add folio_put_refs()
  pagevec: Initialise folio_batch->percpu_pvec_drained

mm: Add folio_put_refs()

2022-01-17T00:52:13+00:00

This is like folio_put(), but puts N references at once instead of
just one.  It's like put_page_refs(), but does one atomic operation
instead of two, and is available to more than just gup.c.

mm/hwpoison: fix unpoison_memory()

2022-01-15T14:30:31+00:00

After recent soft-offline rework, error pages can be taken off from
buddy allocator, but the existing unpoison_memory() does not properly
undo the operation.  Moreover, due to the recent change on
__get_hwpoison_page(), get_page_unless_zero() is hardly called for
hwpoisoned pages.  So __get_hwpoison_page() highly likely returns -EBUSY
(meaning to fail to grab page refcount) and unpoison just clears
PG_hwpoison without releasing a refcount.  That does not lead to a
critical issue like kernel panic, but unpoisoned pages never get back to
buddy (leaked permanently), which is not good.

To (partially) fix this, we need to identify "taken off" pages from
other types of hwpoisoned pages.  We can't use refcount or page flags
for this purpose, so a pseudo flag is defined by hacking ->private
field.  Someone might think that put_page() is enough to cancel
taken-off pages, but the normal free path contains some operations not
suitable for the current purpose, and can fire VM_BUG_ON().

Note that unpoison_memory() is now supposed to be cancel hwpoison events
injected only by madvise() or
/sys/devices/system/memory/{hard,soft}_offline_page, not by MCE
injection, so please don't try to use unpoison when testing with MCE
injection.
