mm: avoid setting up anonymous pages into file mapping

2015-08-11T08:57:27+00:00

commit 6b7339f4c31ad69c8e9c0b2859276e22cf72176d upstream.

Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right
circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if
the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated
on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with
do_anonymous_page().

Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not
shared.

For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops,
page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS.

mm/memory.c: actually remap enough memory

2015-03-02T15:04:20+00:00

commit 9cb12d7b4ccaa976f97ce0c5fd0f1b6a83bc2a75 upstream.

For whatever reason, generic_access_phys() only remaps one page, but
actually allows to access arbitrary size.  It's quite easy to trigger
large reads, like printing out large structure with gdb, which leads to a
crash.  Fix it by remapping correct size.

vm: make stack guard page errors return VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV rather than SIGBUS

2015-02-04T10:58:27+00:00

commit 9c145c56d0c8a0b62e48c8d71e055ad0fb2012ba upstream.

The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS
rather than a SIGSEGV, but nobody actually noticed until commit
fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard
page") because that error case was never actually triggered in any
normal situations.

Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal
that resulted.  So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have
actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so
let's not wait for any of those to break.

mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation

2015-01-16T14:34:32+00:00

commit 2d6d7f98284648c5ed113fe22a132148950b140f upstream.

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition
between the dirtying and truncation of a page:

__set_page_dirty_nobuffers()       __delete_from_page_cache()
  if (TestSetPageDirty(page))
                                     page->mapping = NULL
				     if (PageDirty())
				       dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
				       dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
    if (page->mapping)
      account_page_dirtied(page)
        __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
	__inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);

which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE.

Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock
directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with
the page table lock held.  The notable exception to this rule, though,
is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists.  However, do_wp_page()
already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit,
in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit
in the presence of dirty ptes.  Upgrade that wait to a fully locked
set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above.

Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race
is no longer needed.  Remove it.

mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page

2015-01-16T14:34:27+00:00

commit fee7e49d45149fba60156f5b59014f764d3e3728 upstream.

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets
confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma
that is reported by /proc/maps.

This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard
page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error
from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard
page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done.

And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit
d7824370e263: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard
page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area.

This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error.  It also
effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn
measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit.

Let's see if anybody notices.  We could teach acct_stack_growth() to
allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test,
but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

mm: fix swapoff hang after page migration and fork

2014-12-10T17:49:43+00:00

commit 2022b4d18a491a578218ce7a4eca8666db895a73 upstream.

I've been seeing swapoff hangs in recent testing: it's cycling around
trying unsuccessfully to find an mm for some remaining pages of swap.

I have been exercising swap and page migration more heavily recently,
and now notice a long-standing error in copy_one_pte(): it's trying to
add dst_mm to swapoff's mmlist when it finds a swap entry, but is doing
so even when it's a migration entry or an hwpoison entry.

Which wouldn't matter much, except it adds dst_mm next to src_mm,
assuming src_mm is already on the mmlist: which may not be so.  Then if
pages are later swapped out from dst_mm, swapoff won't be able to find
where to replace them.

There's already a !non_swap_entry() test for stats: move that up before
the swap_duplicate() and the addition to mmlist.

zap_pte_range: update addr when forcing flush after TLB batching faiure

2014-11-13T11:48:53+00:00

commit ce9ec37bddb633404a0c23e1acb181a264e7f7f2 upstream.

When unmapping a range of pages in zap_pte_range, the page being
unmapped is added to an mmu_gather_batch structure for asynchronous
freeing. If we run out of space in the batch structure before the range
has been completely unmapped, then we break out of the loop, force a
TLB flush and free the pages that we have batched so far. If there are
further pages to unmap, then we resume the loop where we left off.

Unfortunately, we forget to update addr when we break out of the loop,
which causes us to truncate the range being invalidated as the end
address is exclusive. When we re-enter the loop at the same address, the
page has already been freed and the pte_present test will fail, meaning
that we do not reconsider the address for invalidation.

This patch fixes the problem by incrementing addr by the PAGE_SIZE
before breaking out of the loop on batch failure.

mm: softdirty: keep bit when zapping file pte

2014-10-05T20:41:07+00:00

commit dbab31aa2ceec2d201966fa0b552f151310ba5f4 upstream.

This fixes the same bug as b43790eedd31 ("mm: softdirty: don't forget to
save file map softdiry bit on unmap") and 9aed8614af5a ("mm/memory.c:
don't forget to set softdirty on file mapped fault") where the return
value of pte_*mksoft_dirty was being ignored.

To be sure that no other pte/pmd "mk" function return values were being
ignored, I annotated the functions in arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h
with __must_check and rebuilt.

The userspace effect of this bug is that the softdirty mark might be
lost if a file mapped pte get zapped.

x86,mm: fix pte_special versus pte_numa

2014-09-05T23:36:36+00:00

commit b38af4721f59d0b564468f623b3e52a638195015 upstream.

Sasha Levin has shown oopses on ffffea0003480048 and ffffea0003480008 at
mm/memory.c:1132, running Trinity on different 3.16-rc-next kernels:
where zap_pte_range() checks page->mapping to see if PageAnon(page).

Those addresses fit struct pages for pfns d2001 and d2000, and in each
dump a register or a stack slot showed d2001730 or d2000730: pte flags
0x730 are PCD ACCESSED PROTNONE SPECIAL IOMAP; and Sasha's e820 map has
a hole between cfffffff and 100000000, which would need special access.

Commit c46a7c817e66 ("x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on
the PMD and PTE levels") has broken vm_normal_page(): a PROTNONE SPECIAL
pte no longer passes the pte_special() test, so zap_pte_range() goes on
to try to access a non-existent struct page.

Fix this by refining pte_special() (SPECIAL with PRESENT or PROTNONE) to
complement pte_numa() (SPECIAL with neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE).  A
hint that this was a problem was that c46a7c817e66 added pte_numa() test
to vm_normal_page(), and moved its is_zero_pfn() test from slow to fast
path: This was papering over a pte_special() snag when the zero page was
encountered during zap.  This patch reverts vm_normal_page() to how it
was before, relying on pte_special().

It still appears that this patch may be incomplete: aren't there other
places which need to be handling PROTNONE along with PRESENT?  For
example, pte_mknuma() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and sets _PAGE_NUMA, but on a
PROT_NONE area, that would make it pte_special().  This is side-stepped
by the fact that NUMA hinting faults skipped PROT_NONE VMAs and there
are no grounds where a NUMA hinting fault on a PROT_NONE VMA would be
interesting.

mm: debugfs: move rounddown_pow_of_two() out from do_fault path

2014-07-31T00:16:13+00:00

do_fault_around() expects fault_around_bytes rounded down to nearest page
order.  Instead of calling rounddown_pow_of_two every time in
fault_around_pages()/fault_around_mask() we could do round down when user
changes fault_around_bytes via debugfs interface.

This also fixes bug when user set fault_around_bytes to 0.  Result of
rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is not defined, therefore fault_around_bytes == 0
doesn't work without this patch.

Let's set fault_around_bytes to PAGE_SIZE if user sets to something less
than PAGE_SIZE
