commit d05c5f7ba164aed3db02fb188c26d0dd94f5455b upstream.

We truncated the possible read iterator to s_maxbytes in commit
c2a9737f45e2 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()"),
but our end condition handling was wrong: it's not an error to try to
read at the end of the file.

Reading past the end should return EOF (0), not EINVAL.

See for example

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1649342
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2016-12/msg00008.html

where a md5sum of a maximally sized file fails because the final read is
exactly at s_maxbytes.

<title>vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()</title>

commit c2a9737f45e27d8263ff9643f994bda9bac0b944 upstream.

We triggered a deadloop in truncate_inode_pages_range() on 32 bits
architecture with the test case bellow:

	...
	fd = open();
	write(fd, buf, 4096);
	preadv64(fd, &amp;iovec, 1, 0xffffffff000);
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
	...

Then ftruncate() will not return forever.

The filesystem used in this case is ubifs, but it can be triggered on
many other filesystems.

When preadv64() is called with offset=0xffffffff000, a page with
index=0xffffffff will be added to the radix tree of -&gt;mapping.  Then
this page can be found in -&gt;mapping with pagevec_lookup().  After that,
truncate_inode_pages_range(), which is called in ftruncate(), will fall
into an infinite loop:

 - find a page with index=0xffffffff, since index&gt;=end, this page won't
   be truncated

 - index++, and index become 0

 - the page with index=0xffffffff will be found again

The data type of index is unsigned long, so index won't overflow to 0 on
64 bits architecture in this case, and the dead loop won't happen.

Since truncate_inode_pages_range() is executed with holding lock of
inode-&gt;i_rwsem, any operation related with this lock will be blocked,
and a hung task will happen, e.g.:

  INFO: task truncate_test:3364 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  ...
     call_rwsem_down_write_failed+0x17/0x30
     generic_file_write_iter+0x32/0x1c0
     ubifs_write_iter+0xcc/0x170
     __vfs_write+0xc4/0x120
     vfs_write+0xb2/0x1b0
     SyS_write+0x46/0xa0

The page with index=0xffffffff added to -&gt;mapping is useless.  Fix this
by checking the read position before allocating pages.

commit 3ddf40e8c31964b744ff10abb48c8e36a83ec6e7 upstream.

Commit 22f2ac51b6d6 ("mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker
caused by replace_page_cache_page()") switched replace_page_cache() from
raw radix tree operations to page_cache_tree_insert() but didn't take
into account that the latter function, unlike the raw radix tree op,
handles mapping-&gt;nrpages.  As a result, that counter is bumped for each
page replacement rather than balanced out even.

The mapping-&gt;nrpages counter is used to skip needless radix tree walks
when invalidating, truncating, syncing inodes without pages, as well as
statistics for userspace.  Since the error is positive, we'll do more
page cache tree walks than necessary; we won't miss a necessary one.
And we'll report more buffer pages to userspace than there are.  The
error is limited to fuse inodes.

This is a long-standing bug in the way shadow entries are accounted in
the radix tree nodes. The shrinker needs to know when radix tree nodes
contain only shadow entries, no pages, so node-&gt;count is split in half
to count shadows in the upper bits and pages in the lower bits.

Unfortunately, the radix tree implementation doesn't know of this and
assumes all entries are in node-&gt;count. When there is a shadow entry
directly in root-&gt;rnode and the tree is later extended, the radix tree
implementation will copy that entry into the new node and and bump its
node-&gt;count, i.e. increases the page count bits. Once the shadow gets
removed and we subtract from the upper counter, node-&gt;count underflows
and triggers the warning. Afterwards, without node-&gt;count reaching 0
again, the radix tree node is leaked.

Limit shadow entries to when we have actual radix tree nodes and can
count them properly. That means we lose the ability to detect refaults
from files that had only the first page faulted in at eviction time.

commit 22f2ac51b6d643666f4db093f13144f773ff3f3a upstream.

Antonio reports the following crash when using fuse under memory pressure:

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node-&gt;count &amp; RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node-&gt;count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

commit 22f2ac51b6d643666f4db093f13144f773ff3f3a upstream.

Antonio reports the following crash when using fuse under memory pressure:

  kernel BUG at /build/linux-a2WvEb/linux-4.4.0/mm/workingset.c:346!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
  Modules linked in: all of them

    kswapd+0x51e/0x990

    ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node-&gt;count &amp; RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node-&gt;count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked

<title>mm: make sendfile(2) killable</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 296291cdd1629c308114504b850dc343eabc2782 upstream.

Currently a simple program below issues a sendfile(2) system call which
takes about 62 days to complete in my test KVM instance.

        int fd;
        off_t off = 0;

        fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC | O_CREAT, 0644);
        ftruncate(fd, 2);
        lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
        sendfile(fd, fd, &amp;off, 0xfffffff);

Now you should not ask kernel to do a stupid stuff like copying 256MB in
2-byte chunks and call fsync(2) after each chunk but if you do, sysadmin
should have a way to stop you.

We actually do have a check for fatal_signal_pending() in
generic_perform_write() which triggers in this path however because we
always succeed in writing something before the check is done, we return
value &gt; 0 from generic_perform_write() and thus the information about
signal gets lost.

Fix the problem by doing the signal check before writing anything.  That
way generic_perform_write() returns -EINTR, the error gets propagated up
and the sendfile loop terminates early.

<title>mm: get rid of radix tree gfp mask for pagecache_get_page</title>

commit 45f87de57f8fad59302fd263dd81ffa4843b5b24 upstream.

Commit 2457aec63745 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") has added a separate parameter for
specifying gfp mask for radix tree allocations.

Not only this is less than optimal from the API point of view because it
is error prone, it is also buggy currently because
grab_cache_page_write_begin is using GFP_KERNEL for radix tree and if
fgp_flags doesn't contain FGP_NOFS (mostly controlled by fs by
AOP_FLAG_NOFS flag) but the mapping_gfp_mask has __GFP_FS cleared then
the radix tree allocation wouldn't obey the restriction and might
recurse into filesystem and cause deadlocks.  This is the case for most
filesystems unfortunately because only ext4 and gfs2 are using
AOP_FLAG_NOFS.

Let's simply remove radix_gfp_mask parameter because the allocation
context is same for both page cache and for the radix tree.  Just make
sure that the radix tree gets only the sane subset of the mask (e.g.  do
not pass __GFP_WRITE).

Long term it is more preferable to convert remaining users of
AOP_FLAG_NOFS to use mapping_gfp_mask instead and simplify this
interface even further.

commit 60bb45297f7551833346c5cebc6d483ea17ea5f2 upstream.

If DIO results in short write and sync write fails, we want to bugger off
whether the DIO part has written anything or not; the logics on the return
will take care of the right return value.
