commit da74240eb3fcd806edb1643874363e954d9e948b upstream.

Commit 3fea5a499d57 ("mm: memcontrol: convert page cache to a new
mem_cgroup_charge() API") introduced a bug in __add_to_page_cache_locked()
causing the following splat:

  page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_memcg(page))
  pages's memcg:ffff8889a4116000

Before that commit, there was a try_charge() and commit_charge() in
__add_to_page_cache_locked().  These two separated charge functions were
replaced by a single mem_cgroup_charge().  However, it forgot to add a
matching mem_cgroup_uncharge() when the xarray insertion failed with the
page released back to the pool.

Fix this by adding a mem_cgroup_uncharge() call when insertion error
happens.

<title>mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)</title>

<content type='text'>
Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed
on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling
end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page,
no longer an ext4 page at all.

The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference
(as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as
soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed
from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that
wake_up_page() is reached.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/
Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail
check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page,
lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and
wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()).

Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against
that approach.  If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check,
when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much
more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching
wake_up_page()?  And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be
marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon?  What
would that look like?

It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback()
in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself).

Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself:
 "page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts,

  --- thread A ---
  filesystem calls end_page_writeback()
        test_clear_page_writeback()
  --- context switch to thread B ---
  truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set,
  we delete it from the page cache.  Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback
  starts again.  Then we call write_cache_pages(), see
  PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback()
  --- context switch back to thread A ---
  wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
  ... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of
  the page, PageWriteback is still set.

  Devious"

And prior to 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic")
this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s
non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback
already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake.

I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the
simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling
test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page().

Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before
reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared?  I think not,
because each waiter does hold a reference on the page.  This bug comes
when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on,
had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache
(and whoever racily freed it).  The reuse of the page has a waiter
holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated
wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

We catch the case where we enter generic_file_buffered_read() with data
already transferred, but we also need to be careful not to allow an async
page lock if we're looping transferring data. If not, we could be
returning -EIOCBQUEUED instead of the transferred amount, and it could
result in double waitqueue additions as well.

Pull clone/dedupe/remap code refactoring from Darrick Wong:
 "Move the generic file range remap (aka reflink and dedupe) functions
  out of mm/filemap.c and fs/read_write.c and into fs/remap_range.c to
  reduce clutter in the first two files"

* tag 'vfs-5.10-merge-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  vfs: move the generic write and copy checks out of mm
  vfs: move the remap range helpers to remap_range.c
  vfs: move generic_remap_checks out of mm

<title>mm: mark async iocb read as NOWAIT once some data has been copied</title>

<id>13bd691421bc191a402d2e0d3da5f248d170a632</id>
<content type='text'>
Once we've copied some data for an iocb that is marked with IOCB_WAITQ,
we should no longer attempt to async lock a new page. Instead make sure
we return the copied amount, and let the caller retry, instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED for a new page.

This should only be possible with read-ahead disabled on the below
device, and multiple threads racing on the same file. Haven't been able
to reproduce on anything else.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.9
Fixes: 1a0a7853b901 ("mm: support async buffered reads in generic_file_buffered_read()")
