commit 1007843a91909a4995ee78a538f62d8665705b66 upstream.

syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves
zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory
allocation requests which do not need to be retried.

One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler.

  CPU0
  ----
  __build_all_zonelists() {
    write_seqlock(&amp;zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd
    // e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment
      some_timer_func() {
        kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) {
          __alloc_pages_slowpath() {
            read_seqbegin(&amp;zonelist_update_seq) {
              // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
            }
          }
        }
      }
    // e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes
    write_sequnlock(&amp;zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even
  }

This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling
read_seqbegin(&amp;zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests.  But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this
approach.

Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with
port-&gt;lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with
zonelist_update_seq held.

  }

This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by

  preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)

and

  preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all()

while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd.

Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a
candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by

  disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)

and

  disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all()

.

As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount
being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at
read_seqbegin(&amp;zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced.  Although, from
lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&amp;zonelist_update_seq) (i.e.
do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is
still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
inside

<title>mm: page_alloc: skip regions with hugetlbfs pages when allocating 1G pages</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4d73ba5fa710fe7d432e0b271e6fecd252aef66e upstream.

A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is
taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory.  Further
testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e.  if allocating
1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from
10-&gt;20-&gt;30-&gt;etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at
each step.  Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the
validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a
migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole
lot of other useless work.

Commit eb14d4eefdc4 ("mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from
pfn_range_valid_contig") removed two checks, one which ignored huge pages
for contiguous allocations as huge pages can sometimes migrate.  While
there may be value on migrating a 2M page to satisfy a 1G allocation, it's
potentially expensive if the 1G allocation fails and it's pointless to try
moving a 1G page for a new 1G allocation or scan the tail pages for valid
PFNs.

Reintroduce the PageHuge check and assume any contiguous region with
hugetlbfs pages is unsuitable for a new 1G allocation.

The hpagealloc test allocates huge pages in batches and reports the
average latency per page over time.  This test happens just after boot
when fragmentation is not an issue.  Units are in milliseconds.

commit 4d73ba5fa710fe7d432e0b271e6fecd252aef66e upstream.

A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is
taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory.  Further
testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e.  if allocating
1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from
10-&gt;20-&gt;30-&gt;etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at
each step.  Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the
validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a
migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole
lot of other useless work.

Commit eb14d4eefdc4 ("mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from
pfn_range_valid_contig") removed two checks, one which ignored huge pages
for contiguous allocations as huge pages can sometimes migrate.  While
there may be value on migrating a 2M page to satisfy a 1G allocation, it's
potentially expensive if the 1G allocation fails and it's pointless to try
moving a 1G page for a new 1G allocation or scan the tail pages for valid
PFNs.

Reintroduce the PageHuge check and assume any contiguous region with
hugetlbfs pages is unsuitable for a new 1G allocation.

The hpagealloc test allocates huge pages in batches and reports the
average latency per page over time.  This test happens just after boot
when fragmentation is not an issue.  Units are in milliseconds.

commit f446883d12b8bfa486f7c98d403054d61d38c989 upstream.

This reverts commit 487a32ec24be819e747af8c2ab0d5c515508086a.

should_skip_kasan_poison() reads the PG_skip_kasan_poison flag from
page-&gt;flags.  However, this line of code in free_pages_prepare():

	page-&gt;flags &amp;= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP;

clears most of page-&gt;flags, including PG_skip_kasan_poison, before calling
should_skip_kasan_poison(), which meant that it would never return true as
a result of the page flag being set.  Therefore, fix the code to call
should_skip_kasan_poison() before clearing the flags, as we were doing
before the reverted patch.

This fixes a measurable performance regression introduced in the reverted
commit, where munmap() takes longer than intended if HW tags KASAN is
supported and enabled at runtime.  Without this patch, we see a
single-digit percentage performance regression in a particular
mmap()-heavy benchmark when enabling HW tags KASAN, and with the patch,
there is no statistically significant performance impact when enabling HW
tags KASAN.

<title>Fix page corruption caused by racy check in __free_pages</title>

When we upgraded our kernel, we started seeing some page corruption like
the following consistently:

  BUG: Bad page state in process ganesha.nfsd  pfn:1304ca
  page:0000000022261c55 refcount:0 mapcount:-128 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x1304ca

   ...

Sometimes, it would also show up as corruption in the free list pointer
and cause crashes.

After bisecting the issue, we found the issue started from commit
e320d3012d25 ("mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages"):

	if (put_page_testzero(page))
		free_the_page(page, order);
	else if (!PageHead(page))
		while (order-- &gt; 0)
			free_the_page(page + (1 &lt;&lt; order), order);

So the problem is the check PageHead is racy because at this point we
already dropped our reference to the page.  So even if we came in with
compound page, the page can already be freed and PageHead can return
false and we will end up freeing all the tail pages causing double free.

While freeing a large list, the zone lock will be released and reacquired
to avoid long hold times since commit c24ad77d962c ("mm/page_alloc.c:
avoid excessive IRQ disabled times in free_unref_page_list()").  As
suggested by Vlastimil Babka, the lockrelease/reacquire logic can be
simplified by reusing the logic that acquires a different lock when
changing zones.

<title>mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations</title>

The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task
allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. 
In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired
using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and
re-entrancy is impossible.

Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the
common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path.  If
the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable
IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain.  If an IRQ is
raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and
fallback to using the buddy lists directly.  Note that this may not be a
universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily
from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone-&gt;lock as a result.

<title>mm/page_alloc: always remove pages from temporary list</title>

Patch series "Leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations", v3.


This patch (of 2):

free_unref_page_list() has neglected to remove pages properly from the
list of pages to free since forever.  It works by coincidence because
list_add happened to do the right thing adding the pages to just the PCP
lists.  However, a later patch added pages to either the PCP list or the
zone list but only properly deleted the page from the list in one path
leading to list corruption and a subsequent failure.  As a preparation
patch, always delete the pages from one list properly before adding to
another.  On its own, this fixes nothing although it adds a fractional
amount of overhead but is critical to the next patch.

<title>mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount COMPOUND_MAPPED if PMD-mapped</title>

<content type='text'>
Can the lock_compound_mapcount() bit_spin_lock apparatus be removed now? 
Yes.  Not by atomic64_t or cmpxchg games, those get difficult on 32-bit;
but if we slightly abuse subpages_mapcount by additionally demanding that
one bit be set there when the compound page is PMD-mapped, then a cascade
of two atomic ops is able to maintain the stats without bit_spin_lock.

This is harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but I believe
safe; and no drift in stats detected when testing.  When there are racing
removes and adds, of course the sequence of operations is less well-
defined; but each operation on subpages_mapcount is atomically good.  What
might be disastrous, is if subpages_mapcount could ever fleetingly appear
negative: but the pte lock (or pmd lock) these rmap functions are called
under, ensures that a last remove cannot race ahead of a first add.

Continue to make an exception for hugetlb (PageHuge) pages, though that
exception can be easily removed by a further commit if necessary: leave
subpages_mapcount 0, don't bother with COMPOUND_MAPPED in its case, just
carry on checking compound_mapcount too in folio_mapped(), page_mapped().

Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous
implementation in all cases (pmds after ptes now taking around 103ms); and
relieves us of worrying about contention on the bit_spin_lock.

<id>cb67f4282bf9693658dbda934a441ddbbb1446df</id>
<content type='text'>
Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon
and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. 
And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved
atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of
that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines.

Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so
that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the
head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and
their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't
need to be optimized differently.  Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap.

page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the
subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte
mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and
NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using
nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds
subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case).

But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in
vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained?  Not
quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often
called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount
0&lt;-&gt;1 while compound pmd mapcount 0&lt;-&gt;1 is scanning - races which the
previous implementation had prevented.  The statistics might become
inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0.  That is
not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch.

Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. 
hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but
subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so
delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount.

A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took
18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but
now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages.  Mapping by pmds a second time
used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by
ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. 
But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because
tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.
