commit 7c7b962938ddda6a9cd095de557ee5250706ea88 upstream.

Device exclusive page table entries are used to prevent CPU access to a
page whilst it is being accessed from a device.  Typically this is used to
implement atomic operations when the underlying bus does not support
atomic access.  When a CPU thread encounters a device exclusive entry it
locks the page and restores the original entry after calling mmu notifiers
to signal drivers that exclusive access is no longer available.

The device exclusive entry holds a reference to the page making it safe to
access the struct page whilst the entry is present.  However the fault
handling code does not hold the PTL when taking the page lock.  This means
if there are multiple threads faulting concurrently on the device
exclusive entry one will remove the entry whilst others will wait on the
page lock without holding a reference.

This can lead to threads locking or waiting on a folio with a zero
refcount.  Whilst mmap_lock prevents the pages getting freed via munmap()
they may still be freed by a migration.  This leads to warnings such as
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE due to the page being locked when the refcount
drops to zero.

Fix this by trying to take a reference on the folio before locking it.
The code already checks the PTE under the PTL and aborts if the entry is
no longer there.  It is also possible the folio has been unmapped, freed
and re-allocated allowing a reference to be taken on an unrelated folio.
This case is also detected by the PTE check and the folio is unlocked
without further changes.

<title>mm: hwpoison: support recovery from ksm_might_need_to_copy()</title>

When the kernel copies a page from ksm_might_need_to_copy(), but runs into
an uncorrectable error, it will crash since poisoned page is consumed by
kernel, this is similar to the issue recently fixed by Copy-on-write
poison recovery.

When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
in do_swap_page(), and install a hwpoison entry in unuse_pte() when
swapoff, which help us to avoid system crash.  Note, memory failure on a
KSM page will be skipped, but still call memory_failure_queue() to be
consistent with general memory failure process, and we could support KSM
page recovery in the feature.

<title>mm: fix a few rare cases of using swapin error pte marker</title>

<id>7e3ce3f8d2d235f916baad1582f6cf12e0319013</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch should harden commit 15520a3f0469 ("mm: use pte markers for
swap errors") on using pte markers for swapin errors on a few corner
cases.

1. Propagate swapin errors across fork()s: if there're swapin errors in
   the parent mm, after fork()s the child should sigbus too when an error
   page is accessed.

2. Fix a rare condition race in pte_marker_clear() where a uffd-wp pte
   marker can be quickly switched to a swapin error.

3. Explicitly ignore swapin error pte markers in change_protection().

I mostly don't worry on (2) or (3) at all, but we should still have them. 
Case (1) is special because it can potentially cause silent data corrupt
on child when parent has swapin error triggered with swapoff, but since
swapin error is rare itself already it's probably not easy to trigger
either.

Currently there is a priority difference between the uffd-wp bit and the
swapin error entry, in which the swapin error always has higher priority
(e.g.  we don't need to wr-protect a swapin error pte marker).

If there will be a 3rd bit introduced, we'll probably need to consider a
more involved approach so we may need to start operate on the bits.  Let's
leave that for later.

This patch is tested with case (1) explicitly where we'll get corrupted
data before in the child if there's existing swapin error pte markers, and
after patch applied the child can be rightfully killed.

We don't need to copy stable for this one since 15520a3f0469 just landed
as part of v6.2-rc1, only "Fixes" applied.

Patch series "mm: Fixes on pte markers".

Patch 1 resolves the syzkiller report from Pengfei.

Patch 2 further harden pte markers when used with the recent swapin error
markers.  The major case is we should persist a swapin error marker after
fork(), so child shouldn't read a corrupted page.


This patch (of 2):

When fork(), dst_vma is not guaranteed to have VM_UFFD_WP even if src may
have it and has pte marker installed.  The warning is improper along with
the comment.  The right thing is to inherit the pte marker when needed, or
keep the dst pte empty.

A vague guess is this happened by an accident when there's the prior patch
to introduce src/dst vma into this helper during the uffd-wp feature got
developed and I probably messed up in the rebase, since if we replace
dst_vma with src_vma the warning &amp; comment it all makes sense too.

Hugetlb did exactly the right here (copy_hugetlb_page_range()).  Fix the
general path.

<title>mm: extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE support to anything in a COW mapping</title>

Extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE to break COW on anything mapped into a
COW (i.e., private writable) mapping and adjust the documentation
accordingly.

FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will now also break COW when encountering the shared
zeropage, a pagecache page, a PFNMAP, ... inside a COW mapping, by
properly replacing the mapped page/pfn by a private copy (an exclusive
anonymous page).

Note that only do_wp_page() needs care: hugetlb_wp() already handles
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE correctly. wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud() also handles it
correctly, for example, splitting the huge zeropage on FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE
such that we can handle FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE on the PTE level.

This change is a requirement for reliable long-term R/O pinning in
COW mappings.

If we already have a PMD/PUD mapped write-protected in a private mapping
and we want to break COW either due to FAULT_FLAG_WRITE or
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE, there is no need to inform the file system just like on
the PTE path.

Let's just split (-&gt;zap) + fallback in that case.

This is a preparation for more generic FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE support in
COW mappings.

We want to extent FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE support to anything mapped into a
COW mapping (pagecache page, zeropage, PFN, ...), not just anonymous pages.
Let's prepare for that by handling shared mappings first such that we can
handle private mappings last.

While at it, use folio-based functions instead of page-based functions
where we touch the code either way.

<title>mm: add early FAULT_FLAG_WRITE consistency checks</title>

Let's catch abuse of FAULT_FLAG_WRITE early, such that we don't have to
care in all other handlers and might get "surprises" if we forget to do
so.

Write faults without VM_MAYWRITE don't make any sense, and our
maybe_mkwrite() logic could have hidden such abuse for now.

Write faults without VM_WRITE on something that is not a COW mapping is
similarly broken, and e.g., do_wp_page() could end up placing an
anonymous page into a shared mapping, which would be bad.

This is a preparation for reliable R/O long-term pinning of pages in
private mappings, whereby we want to make sure that we will never break
COW in a read-only private mapping.

For now, FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE only applies to anonymous pages, which
implies a COW mapping. Let's hide FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE early if we're not
dealing with a COW mapping, such that we treat it like a read fault as
documented and don't have to worry about the flag throughout all fault
handlers.

While at it, centralize the check for mutual exclusion of
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE and FAULT_FLAG_WRITE and just drop the check that
either flag is set in the WP handler.
