[ Upstream commit 832d95b5314eea558cf4cc9ca40db10122ce8f63 ]

Instead of translating between RMP_ and TTU_ flags, remove the RMP_ flags
and just use the TTU_ flag space; there's plenty available.

Possibly we should rename these to RMAP_ flags, and maybe even pass them
in through rmap_walk_arg, but that can be done later.

<title>mm/huge_memory: replace can_split_folio() with direct refcount calculation</title>

[ Upstream commit 5842bcbfc316738cbfcbdb4def5a7592aa03ebf2 ]

can_split_folio() is just a refcount comparison, making sure only the
split caller holds an extra pin.  Open code it with
folio_expected_ref_count() != folio_ref_count() - 1.  For the extra_pins
used by folio_ref_freeze(), add folio_cache_ref_count() to calculate it.
Also replace folio_expected_ref_count() with folio_cache_ref_count() used
by folio_ref_unfreeze(), since they are returning the same values when a
folio is frozen and folio_cache_ref_count() does not have unnecessary
folio_mapcount() in its implementation.

<title>mm/huge_memory: change folio_split_supported() to folio_check_splittable()</title>

[ Upstream commit bdd0d69a32c2aa6437d23e35acc705758b835a75 ]

Patch series "Improve folio split related functions", v4.

This patchset improves several folio split related functions to avoid
future misuse.  The changes are:

1. Consolidated folio splittable checks by moving truncated folio check,
   huge zero folio check, and writeback folio check into
   folio_split_supported(). Changed the function return type. Renamed it
   to folio_check_splittable() for clarification.

2. Replaced can_split_folio() with open coded folio_expected_ref_count()
   and folio_ref_count() and introduced folio_cache_ref_count().

3. Changed min_order_for_split() to always return an order.

4. Fixed folio split stats counting.

Motivation
==========
This is based on Wei's observation[1] and solves several potential
issues:
1. Dereferencing NULL folio-&gt;mapping in try_folio_split_to_order() if it
   is called on truncated folios.
2. Not handling of negative return value of min_order_for_split() in
   mm/memory-failure.c

There is no bug in the current code.

This patch (of 4):

folio_split_supported() used in try_folio_split_to_order() requires
folio-&gt;mapping to be non NULL, but current try_folio_split_to_order() does
not check it.  There is no issue in the current code, since
try_folio_split_to_order() is only used in truncate_inode_partial_folio(),
where folio-&gt;mapping is not NULL.

To prevent future misuse, move folio-&gt;mapping NULL check (i.e., folio is
truncated) into folio_split_supported().  Since folio-&gt;mapping NULL check
returns -EBUSY and folio_split_supported() == false means -EINVAL, change
folio_split_supported() return type from bool to int and return error
numbers accordingly.  Rename folio_split_supported() to
folio_check_splittable() to match the return type change.

While at it, move is_huge_zero_folio() check and folio_test_writeback()
check into folio_check_splittable() and add kernel-doc.

Remove all warnings inside folio_check_splittable() and give warnings
in __folio_split() instead, so that bool warns parameter can be removed.

[ Upstream commit ad7c7f4576a5977b4ec4ac5dd090ab3f81ca7c6f ]

In future memcg removal, the binding between a folio and a memcg may
change, making the split lock within the memcg unstable when held.

A new approach is required to reparent the split queue to its parent.
This patch starts introducing a unified way to acquire the split lock for
future work.

It's a code-only refactoring with no functional changes.

<title>net: advertise TCP MSS from the configured MTU, not the learned PMTU</title>

<id>380d138a6b086b4fa33013b46b0fb155faf98d88</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2640e64195948a601430d230c9864f5426574cde upstream.

The MSS a host puts in its SYN tells the peer how big a segment it may
send us. Right now we can shrink it with a PMTU we learned on our own
send path, which is the wrong direction entirely.

On asymmetric paths this bites - think DSR load balancers, where the
request side goes through a smaller-MTU overlay. We learn a small PMTU
going out, then advertise a small MSS, and the peer stays capped for the
whole connection even though its path back to us is wide. MSS only shows
up in the SYN and never grows back.

On symmetric paths we lose nothing by dropping it either: the peer runs
its own PMTU discovery and usually already knows the real path MTU.

So work out the advertised MSS from the configured route or device MTU
and ignore the learned PMTU. Our send side is unchanged, still clamped by
tcp_current_mss(). Add ip_dst_mtu_configured()/ip6_dst_mtu_configured()

commit 2640e64195948a601430d230c9864f5426574cde upstream.

The MSS a host puts in its SYN tells the peer how big a segment it may
send us. Right now we can shrink it with a PMTU we learned on our own
send path, which is the wrong direction entirely.

On asymmetric paths this bites - think DSR load balancers, where the
request side goes through a smaller-MTU overlay. We learn a small PMTU
going out, then advertise a small MSS, and the peer stays capped for the
whole connection even though its path back to us is wide. MSS only shows
up in the SYN and never grows back.

On symmetric paths we lose nothing by dropping it either: the peer runs
its own PMTU discovery and usually already knows the real path MTU.

So work out the advertised MSS from the configured route or device MTU
and ignore the learned PMTU. Our send side is unchanged, still clamped by
tcp_current_mss(). Add ip_dst_mtu_configured()/ip6_dst_mtu_configured()
and use them from the two default_advmss() paths.

<title>tcp: clamp route advmss to TCP_MIN_MSS</title>

[ Upstream commit 870a9e42ecc6fe1b8c25d87af043cb0d9c178fe1 ]

tcp_select_initial_window() assumes that callers never pass an MSS
smaller than 1, but route-derived advmss values can violate that
assumption.

A too-small explicit RTAX_ADVMSS is one way to get there, but it is not
the only one. The same divide-by-zero can also be reached through the
"default advmss" path when RTAX_ADVMSS is left at 0 and the effective
advmss is later driven down by route MTU and min_adv_mss.

Introduce a tcp_dst_advmss() helper that clamps route advmss to
TCP_MIN_MSS before TCP consumes it, and use it in the TCP paths that
derive advmss from dst metrics. This keeps the effective MSS from
dropping to zero before tcp_select_initial_window() rounds the receive
window.

[ Upstream commit 8776c4ef3ab22b95f55713f00a7a576e6402507d ]

With CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE=y dst_mtu() is a bit fat,
because it is generic.

Indeed, clang does not always inline it.

Add dst4_mtu() and dst6_mtu() helpers for callers that
expect either ipv4_mtu() or ip6_mtu() to be called.

These helpers are always inlined.

With CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, it is better to avoid passing
a pointer to an automatic variable.

Change these exported functions to return 'u8 proto'
instead of void.

- ipv6_push_nfrag_opts()
- ipv6_push_frag_opts()

For instance, replace
	ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, &amp;proto);
with:
	proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);

Note that even after this change, ip6_xmit() has to use a stack canary
because of @first_hop variable.

[ Upstream commit b9060689f49dc663e9a3d069c4a65ff63a836e66 ]

When releasing locks by server IP address via /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip,
nlmsvc_unlock_all_by_ip() calls nlm_traverse_files() with the server
sockaddr as the opaque @data argument:

	nlm_traverse_files(server_addr, nlmsvc_match_ip, NULL);

The match callback is later invoked from nlm_traverse_locks() as:

	match(lockhost, host);

where the first argument is the nlm_host that owns the lock, and the
second argument is the @data that was originally passed down (here the
server sockaddr).  This is the convention every other match callback
relies on (nlmsvc_mark_host(), nlmsvc_same_host(), nlmsvc_is_client()):
arg1 is the real nlm_host, arg2 is the caller-supplied reference value.

nlmsvc_match_ip() has had these two arguments reversed ever since the
unlock-by-IP feature was introduced in commit 4373ea84c84d ("lockd:
unlock lockd locks associated with a given server ip"):

	return rpc_cmp_addr(nlm_srcaddr(host), datap);

Here @host is actually the server sockaddr, so nlm_srcaddr(host)
dereferences a struct sockaddr as a struct nlm_host and reads garbage
at the offset of h_srcaddr; meanwhile @datap is actually the lock
owner's nlm_host but is compared as a sockaddr.  As a result the
comparison practically never matches and locks are not released for the
requested IP.

Swap the arguments so the lock owner's source address is compared
against the requested server address:

	return rpc_cmp_addr(nlm_srcaddr(datap), (struct sockaddr *)host);
