[ Upstream commit b37ff71cc626a0c1b5e098ff9a0b723815f6aaeb ]

We'd like to narrow down the error region in memory error on hugetlb
pages.  However, currently we set PageHWPoison flags on all subpages in
the error hugepage and add # of subpages to num_hwpoison_pages, which
doesn't fit our purpose.

So this patch changes the behavior and we only set PageHWPoison on the
head page then increase num_hwpoison_pages only by 1.  This is a
preparation for narrow-down part which comes in later patches.

commit 46612b751c4941c5c0472ddf04027e877ae5990f upstream.

When soft_offline_in_use_page() runs on a thp tail page after pmd is
split, we trigger the following VM_BUG_ON_PAGE():

  Memory failure: 0x3755ff: non anonymous thp
  __get_any_page: 0x3755ff: unknown zero refcount page type 2fffff80000000
  Soft offlining pfn 0x34d805 at process virtual address 0x20fff000
  page:ffffea000d360140 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x1
  flags: 0x2fffff80000000()

  page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at ./include/linux/mm.h:519!

soft_offline_in_use_page() passed refcount and page lock from tail page
to head page, which is not needed because we can pass any subpage to
split_huge_page().

Naoya had fixed a similar issue in c3901e722b29 ("mm: hwpoison: fix thp
split handling in memory_failure()").  But he missed fixing soft
offline.

commit 6376360ecbe525a9c17b3d081dfd88ba3e4ed65b upstream.

Currently memory_failure() is racy against process's exiting, which
results in kernel crash by null pointer dereference.

The root cause is that memory_failure() uses force_sig() to forcibly
kill asynchronous (meaning not in the current context) processes.  As
discussed in thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/8/236 years ago for OOM
fixes, this is not a right thing to do.  OOM solves this issue by using
do_send_sig_info() as done in commit d2d393099de2 ("signal:
oom_kill_task: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()"), so this
patch is suggesting to do the same for hwpoison.  do_send_sig_info()
properly accesses to siglock with lock_task_sighand(), so is free from
the reported race.

I confirmed that the reported bug reproduces with inserting some delay
in kill_procs(), and it never reproduces with this patch.

Note that memory_failure() can send another type of signal using
force_sig_mceerr(), and the reported race shouldn't happen on it because
force_sig_mceerr() is called only for synchronous processes (i.e.
BUS_MCEERR_AR happens only when some process accesses to the corrupted
memory.)

[ Upstream commit 286c469a988fbaf68e3a97ddf1e6c245c1446968 ]

Memory error handler calls try_to_unmap() for error pages in various
states.  If the error page is a mlocked page, error handling could fail
with "still referenced by 1 users" message.  This is because the page is
linked to and stays in lru cache after the following call chain.

  try_to_unmap_one
    page_remove_rmap
      clear_page_mlock
        putback_lru_page
          lru_cache_add

memory_failure() calls shake_page() to hanlde the similar issue, but
current code doesn't cover because shake_page() is called only before
try_to_unmap().  So this patches adds shake_page().

commit 18365225f0440d09708ad9daade2ec11275c3df9 upstream.

Laurent Dufour has noticed that hwpoinsoned pages are kept charged.  In
his particular case he has hit a bad_page("page still charged to
cgroup") when onlining a hwpoison page.  While this looks like something
that shouldn't happen in the first place because onlining hwpages and
returning them to the page allocator makes only little sense it shows a
real problem.

hwpoison pages do not get freed usually so we do not uncharge them (at
least not since commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge
API")).  Each charge pins memcg (since e8ea14cc6ead ("mm: memcontrol:
take a css reference for each charged page")) as well and so the
mem_cgroup and the associated state will never go away.  Fix this leak
by forcibly uncharging a LRU hwpoisoned page in delete_from_lru_cache().
We also have to tweak uncharge_list because it cannot rely on zero ref
count for these pages.

commit 7258ae5c5a2ce2f5969e8b18b881be40ab55433d upstream.

memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags.  For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:

&gt; Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
&gt; Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed

Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead.  This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:

&gt; Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed

For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.

commit 7258ae5c5a2ce2f5969e8b18b881be40ab55433d upstream.

memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags.  For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:

&gt; Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
&gt; Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed

Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead.  This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:

&gt; Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed

For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.

<title>mm/migrate: fix refcount handling when !hugepage_migration_supported()</title>

commit 30809f559a0d348c2dfd7ab05e9a451e2384962e upstream.

On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the
necessary update to the hugepage ref-count.

But when !hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage()
also decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage.  The combined
behaviour leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state.

This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test
from mce-tests suite.

Address this by changing the putback_active_hugepage() in
soft_offline_huge_page() to putback_movable_pages().

This only triggers on systems that enable memory failure handling
(ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE) but not hugepage migration
(!ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION).

I imagine this wasn't triggered as there aren't many systems running
this configuration.

When memory_failure() runs on a thp tail page after pmd is split, we
trigger the following VM_BUG_ON_PAGE():

   page:ffffd7cd819b0040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:         (null) index:0x1
   flags: 0x1fffc000400000(hwpoison)
   page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(p))
   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   kernel BUG at /src/linux-dev/mm/memory-failure.c:1132!

memory_failure() passed refcount and page lock from tail page to head
page, which is not needed because we can pass any subpage to
split_huge_page().

dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() can be called without page lock hold, so
let's remove incorrect comment.

The reason why the page lock is not really needed is that
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() checks page_huge_active() inside
hugetlb_lock, which allows us to avoid trying to dequeue a hugepage that
are just allocated but not linked to active list yet, even without
taking page lock.

<title>mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node</title>

<id>599d0c954f91d0689c9bb421b5bc04ea02437a41</id>
<content type='text'>
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.

Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.

Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.

In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions

1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem

   When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
   list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
   highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
   keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
   arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
   could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.

   That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
   highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.

2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails

   This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
   memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.
