mm: hide a #warning for COMPILE_TEST

2018-02-16T17:41:36+00:00

We get a warning about some slow configurations in randconfig kernels:

  mm/memory.c:83:2: error: #warning Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for last_cpupid. [-Werror=cpp]

The warning is reasonable by itself, but gets in the way of randconfig
build testing, so I'm hiding it whenever CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is set.

The warning was added in 2013 in commit 75980e97dacc ("mm: fold
page->_last_nid into page->flags where possible").

mm: remove unneeded kallsyms include

2018-02-07T02:32:47+00:00

The file was converted from print_symbol() to %pSR a while ago in commit
071361d3473e ("mm: Convert print_symbol to %pSR").  kallsyms does not
seem to be needed anymore.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2018-02-06T18:41:33+00:00

Pull libnvdimm updates from Ross Zwisler:

 - Require struct page by default for filesystem DAX to remove a number
   of surprising failure cases. This includes failures with direct I/O,
   gdb and fork(2).

 - Add support for the new Platform Capabilities Structure added to the
   NFIT in ACPI 6.2a. This new table tells us whether the platform
   supports flushing of CPU and memory controller caches on unexpected
   power loss events.

 - Revamp vmem_altmap and dev_pagemap handling to clean up code and
   better support future future PCI P2P uses.

 - Deprecate the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command whose payload has
   become out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL
   spec, and instead rely on the generic ND_CMD_CALL approach used by
   the two other IOCTL families, NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}.

 - Enhance nfit_test so we can test some of the new things added in
   version 1.6 of the DSM specification. This includes testing firmware
   download and simulating the Last Shutdown State (LSS) status.

mm: correct comments regarding do_fault_around()

2018-02-01T01:18:40+00:00

There are multiple comments surrounding do_fault_around that memtion
fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask(), two routines that do not
exist.  These comments should be reworded to reference
fault_around_bytes, the value which is used to determine how much
do_fault_around() will attempt to read when processing a fault.

These comments should have been updated when fault_around_pages() and
fault_around_mask() were removed in commit aecd6f44266c ("mm: close race
between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()").

Fixes: aecd6f44266c1 ("mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()")

mm: add unmap_mapping_pages()

2018-02-01T01:18:37+00:00

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes.  Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that.  That's a sign of a bad interface.

Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

mm, dax: introduce pfn_t_special()

2018-01-20T00:50:53+00:00

In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs,
introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL
should be used for DAX ptes. This also helps identify drivers like
dccssblk that only want to use DAX in a read-only fashion without
get_user_pages() support.

Ideally we could delete axonram and dcssblk DAX support, but if we need
to keep it better make it explicit that axonram and dcssblk only support
a sub-set of DAX due to missing _PAGE_DEVMAP support.

mm/memory.c: release locked page in do_swap_page()

2018-01-19T18:09:40+00:00

James reported a bug in swap paging-in from his testing.  It is that
do_swap_page doesn't release locked page so system hang-up happens due
to a deadlock on PG_locked.

It was introduced by 0bcac06f27d7 ("mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin
of synchronous device") because I missed swap cache hit places to update
swapcache variable to work well with other logics against swapcache in
do_swap_page.

This patch fixes it.

Revert "mm: replace p??_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths"

2017-12-16T02:53:22+00:00

This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c269c, c7da82b894e9, and e7fe7b5cae90.

We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not
complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page
table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the
protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question.

Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM,
not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was.  Dave
Hansen says:

 "So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote()
  and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the
  current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the
  new p??_access_permitted() calls.

  We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid
  consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests
  because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't
  explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done"

It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection
key bits at this level at all.  But one possible eventual solution is to
make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key
bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case,
which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to.

We'll see.

Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to
check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user
pages, but it would be a good check to have back.  Because we have no
generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the
architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in
commit e585513b76f7 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic
get_user_page_fast() implementation").
