Commit eb66ae030829605d61fbef1909ce310e29f78821 upstream.

This is a backport to stable 3.18.y, based on Will Deacon's 4.4.y
backport.

Jann Horn points out that our TLB flushing was subtly wrong for the
mremap() case.  What makes mremap() special is that we don't follow the
usual "add page to list of pages to be freed, then flush tlb, and then
free pages".  No, mremap() obviously just _moves_ the page from one page
table location to another.

That matters, because mremap() thus doesn't directly control the
lifetime of the moved page with a freelist: instead, the lifetime of the
page is controlled by the page table locking, that serializes access to
the entry.

As a result, we need to flush the TLB not just before releasing the lock
for the source location (to avoid any concurrent accesses to the entry),
but also before we release the destination page table lock (to avoid the
TLB being flushed after somebody else has already done something to that
page).

This also makes the whole "need_flush" logic unnecessary, since we now
always end up flushing the TLB for every valid entry.

Commit 86af955d02bb ("mm: numa: avoid waiting on freed migrated pages")
was an incomplete backport of the upstream commit.  It is necessary to
always reset page_nid before attempting any early exit.

The original commit conflicted due to lack of commit 82b0f8c39a38
("mm: join struct fault_env and vm_fault") in 4.9 so it wasn't a clean
application, and the change must have just gotten lost in the noise.

commit a8f97366452ed491d13cf1e44241bc0b5740b1f0 upstream.

Currently, we unconditionally make page table dirty in touch_pmd().
It may result in false-positive can_follow_write_pmd().

We may avoid the situation, if we would only make the page table entry
dirty if caller asks for write access -- FOLL_WRITE.

The patch also changes touch_pud() in the same way.

commit 3c226c637b69104f6b9f1c6ec5b08d7b741b3229 upstream.

In do_huge_pmd_numa_page(), we attempt to handle a migrating thp pmd by
waiting until the pmd is unlocked before we return and retry.  However,
we can race with migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page():

    // do_huge_pmd_numa_page                // migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
    // Holds 0 refs on page                 // Holds 2 refs on page

    vmf-&gt;ptl = pmd_lock(vma-&gt;vm_mm, vmf-&gt;pmd);
    /* ... */
    if (pmd_trans_migrating(*vmf-&gt;pmd)) {
            page = pmd_page(*vmf-&gt;pmd);
            spin_unlock(vmf-&gt;ptl);
                                            ptl = pmd_lock(mm, pmd);
                                            if (page_count(page) != 2)) {
                                                    /* roll back */
                                            }
                                            /* ... */
                                            mlock_migrate_page(new_page, page);
                                            /* ... */
                                            spin_unlock(ptl);
                                            put_page(page);
                                            put_page(page); // page freed here
            wait_on_page_locked(page);
            goto out;
    }

This can result in the freed page having its waiters flag set
unexpectedly, which trips the PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP checks in the
page alloc/free functions.  This has been observed on arm64 KVM guests.

We can avoid this by having do_huge_pmd_numa_page() take a reference on
the page before dropping the pmd lock, mirroring what we do in
__migration_entry_wait().

When we hit the race, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() will see the
reference and abort the migration, as it may do today in other cases.

<title>mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thp</title>

commit 8310d48b125d19fcd9521d83b8293e63eb1646aa upstream.

In commit 19be0eaffa3a ("mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from
__get_user_pages()"), the mm code was changed from unsetting FOLL_WRITE
after a COW was resolved to setting the (newly introduced) FOLL_COW
instead.  Simultaneously, the check in gup.c was updated to still allow
writes with FOLL_FORCE set if FOLL_COW had also been set.

However, a similar check in huge_memory.c was forgotten.  As a result,
remote memory writes to ro regions of memory backed by transparent huge
pages cause an infinite loop in the kernel (handle_mm_fault sets
FOLL_COW and returns 0 causing a retry, but follow_trans_huge_pmd bails
out immidiately because `(flags &amp; FOLL_WRITE) &amp;&amp; !pmd_write(*pmd)` is
true.

While in this state the process is stil SIGKILLable, but little else
works (e.g.  no ptrace attach, no other signals).  This is easily
reproduced with the following code (assuming thp are set to always):

    #include &lt;assert.h&gt;
    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;stdint.h&gt;
    #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
    #include &lt;string.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

    #define TEST_SIZE 5 * 1024 * 1024

    int main(void) {
      int status;
      pid_t child;
      int fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR);
      void *addr = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ,
                        MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0);
      assert(addr != MAP_FAILED);
      pid_t parent_pid = getpid();
      if ((child = fork()) == 0) {
        void *addr2 = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                           MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0);
        assert(addr2 != MAP_FAILED);
        memset(addr2, 'a', TEST_SIZE);
        pwrite(fd, addr2, TEST_SIZE, (uintptr_t)addr);
        return 0;
      }
      assert(child == waitpid(child, &amp;status, 0));
      assert(WIFEXITED(status) &amp;&amp; WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0);
      return 0;
    }

Fix this by updating follow_trans_huge_pmd in huge_memory.c analogously
to the update in gup.c in the original commit.  The same pattern exists
in follow_devmap_pmd.  However, we should not be able to reach that
check with FOLL_COW set, so add WARN_ONCE to make sure we notice if we
ever do.

      assert(WIFEXITED(status) &amp;&amp; WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0);
      return 0;
    }

Fix this by updating follow_trans_huge_pmd in huge_memory.c analogously
to the update in gup.c in the original commit.  The same pattern exists
in follow_devmap_pmd.  However, we should not be able to reach that
check with FOLL_COW set, so add WARN_ONCE to make sure we notice if we
ever do.

[ Upstream commit 3486b85a29c1741db99d0c522211c82d2b7a56d0 ]

Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way
it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special
mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap.

This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where
they are not expected.

<title>mm, thp: fix collapsing of hugepages on madvise</title>

<id>6d50e60cd2edb5a57154db5a6f64eef5aa59b751</id>
<content type='text'>
If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never
collapse this memory into thp memory.

This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(),
clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma-&gt;vm_flags
until the final action of madvise_behavior().  This causes the
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when
the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set.

Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot
handler.  There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after
madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm-&gt;mmap_sem.

It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma-&gt;vm_flags
in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case
behavior into madvise_behavior().  I think it's best to just let it
always set vma-&gt;vm_flags itself.

<title>mm: free compound page with correct order</title>

<id>5ddacbe92b806cd5b4f8f154e8e46ac267fff55c</id>
<content type='text'>
Compound page should be freed by put_page() or free_pages() with correct
order.  Not doing so will cause tail pages leaked.

The compound order can be obtained by compound_order() or use
HPAGE_PMD_ORDER in our case.  Some people would argue the latter is
faster but I prefer the former which is more general.

This bug was observed not just on our servers (the worst case we saw is
11G leaked on a 48G machine) but also on our workstations running Ubuntu
based distro.

  $ cat /proc/vmstat  | grep thp_zero_page_alloc
  thp_zero_page_alloc 55
  thp_zero_page_alloc_failed 0

This means there is (thp_zero_page_alloc - 1) * (2M - 4K) memory leaked.
