[ Upstream commit 299c83dce9ea3a79bb4b5511d2cb996b6b8e5111 ]

342332e6a925 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option") and
later patches rewrote the calculation of node spanned pages.

e506b99696a2 ("mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a movable
node"), but the current code still has problems,

When we have a node with only zone_movable and the node id is not zero,
the size of node spanned pages is double added.

That's because we have an empty normal zone, and zone_start_pfn or
zone_end_pfn is not between arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn and
arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn, so we need to use clamp to constrain the
range just like the commit &lt;96e907d13602&gt; (bootmem: Reimplement
__absent_pages_in_range() using for_each_mem_pfn_range()).

e.g.
Zone ranges:
  DMA      [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff]
  DMA32    [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff]
  Normal   [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000023fffffff]
Movable zone start for each node
  Node 0: 0x0000000100000000

[ Upstream commit 4117992df66a26fa33908b4969e04801534baab1 ]

KASAN does not play well with the page poisoning (CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING).
It triggers false positives in the allocation path:

because KASAN has not yet unpoisoned the shadow page for allocation
before it checks memchr_inv() but only found a stale poison pattern.

Also, false positives in free path,

due to KASAN adds poisoned redzones around slab objects, but the page

<title>mm: page_alloc: fix ref bias in page_frag_alloc() for 1-byte allocs</title>

[ Upstream commit 2c2ade81741c66082f8211f0b96cf509cc4c0218 ]

The basic idea behind -&gt;pagecnt_bias is: If we pre-allocate the maximum
number of references that we might need to create in the fastpath later,
the bump-allocation fastpath only has to modify the non-atomic bias value
that tracks the number of extra references we hold instead of the atomic
refcount. The maximum number of allocations we can serve (under the
assumption that no allocation is made with size 0) is nc-&gt;size, so that's
the bias used.

However, even when all memory in the allocation has been given away, a
reference to the page is still held; and in the `offset &lt; 0` slowpath, the
page may be reused if everyone else has dropped their references.
This means that the necessary number of references is actually
`nc-&gt;size+1`.

Luckily, from a quick grep, it looks like the only path that can call
page_frag_alloc(fragsz=1) is TAP with the IFF_NAPI_FRAGS flag, which
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the init namespace and is only intended to be
used for kernel testing and fuzzing.

To test for this issue, put a `WARN_ON(page_ref_count(page) == 0)` in the
`offset &lt; 0` path, below the virt_to_page() call, and then repeatedly call
writev() on a TAP device with IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_NAPI_FRAGS|IFF_NAPI,
with a vector consisting of 15 elements containing 1 byte each.

<title>mm/page_alloc.c: fix calculation of pgdat-&gt;nr_zones</title>

[ Upstream commit 8f416836c0d50b198cad1225132e5abebf8980dc ]

init_currently_empty_zone() will adjust pgdat-&gt;nr_zones and set it to
'zone_idx(zone) + 1' unconditionally.  This is correct in the normal
case, while not exact in hot-plug situation.

This function is used in two places:

  * free_area_init_core()
  * move_pfn_range_to_zone()

In the first case, we are sure zone index increase monotonically.  While
in the second one, this is under users control.

One way to reproduce this is:
----------------------------

1. create a virtual machine with empty node1

   -m 4G,slots=32,maxmem=32G \
   -smp 4,maxcpus=8          \
   -numa node,nodeid=0,mem=4G,cpus=0-3 \
   -numa node,nodeid=1,mem=0G,cpus=4-7

2. hot-add cpu 3-7

   cpu-add [3-7]

2. hot-add memory to nod1

   object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G
   device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1

3. online memory with following order

   echo online_movable &gt; memory47/state
   echo online &gt; memory40/state

After this, node1 will have its nr_zones equals to (ZONE_NORMAL + 1)
instead of (ZONE_MOVABLE + 1).

Michal said:
 "Having an incorrect nr_zones might result in all sorts of problems
  which would be quite hard to debug (e.g. reclaim not considering the
  movable zone). I do not expect many users would suffer from this it
  but still this is trivial and obviously right thing to do so
  backporting to the stable tree shouldn't be harmful (last famous
  words)"

[ Upstream commit 8f416836c0d50b198cad1225132e5abebf8980dc ]

init_currently_empty_zone() will adjust pgdat-&gt;nr_zones and set it to
'zone_idx(zone) + 1' unconditionally.  This is correct in the normal
case, while not exact in hot-plug situation.

This function is used in two places:

  * free_area_init_core()
  * move_pfn_range_to_zone()

In the first case, we are sure zone index increase monotonically.  While
in the second one, this is under users control.

One way to reproduce this is:
----------------------------

1. create a virtual machine with empty node1

   -m 4G,slots=32,maxmem=32G \
   -smp 4,maxcpus=8          \
   -numa node,nodeid=0,mem=4G,cpus=0-3 \
   -numa node,nodeid=1,mem=0G,cpus=4-7

2. hot-add cpu 3-7

   cpu-add [3-7]

2. hot-add memory to nod1

   object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G
   device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1

3. online memory with following order

   echo online_movable &gt; memory47/state
   echo online &gt; memory40/state

After this, node1 will have its nr_zones equals to (ZONE_NORMAL + 1)
instead of (ZONE_MOVABLE + 1).

Michal said:
 "Having an incorrect nr_zones might result in all sorts of problems
  which would be quite hard to debug (e.g. reclaim not considering the
  movable zone). I do not expect many users would suffer from this it
  but still this is trivial and obviously right thing to do so
  backporting to the stable tree shouldn't be harmful (last famous
  words)"

[ Upstream commit 400e22499dd92613821374c8c6c88c7225359980 ]

Commit 63f53dea0c98 ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too
long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up
problem caused by memory allocation stalls.  But this commit reverts it,
for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many
threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory
allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is
difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous
warning approach.

Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the
context of a thread which called console_unlock().  printk() should be
able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues
appending to printk() buffer.

Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting
for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process()
is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force
oom_kill_process() loop inside printk().  As a result, warn_alloc()
significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process()
from making forward progress.

---------- Pseudo code start ----------
Before warn_alloc() was introduced:

  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&amp;oom_lock)) {
      while (atomic_read(&amp;printk_pending_logs) &gt; 0) {
        atomic_dec(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&amp;oom_lock)
    }
    goto retry;

After warn_alloc() was introduced:

  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&amp;oom_lock)) {
      while (atomic_read(&amp;printk_pending_logs) &gt; 0) {
        atomic_dec(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&amp;oom_lock)
    } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) {
      atomic_inc(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
    }
    goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------

Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds,
unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same
time.  Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing
almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU
resource.  Therefore, this situation can be simplified like

---------- Pseudo code start ----------
  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&amp;oom_lock)) {
      while (atomic_read(&amp;printk_pending_logs) &gt; 0) {
        atomic_dec(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&amp;oom_lock)
    } else {
      atomic_inc(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
    }
    goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------

when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log.

One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to
make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or
warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk()
(either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress.

Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable
form.

---------- Pseudo code start ----------
  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&amp;oom_lock)) {
      mutex_lock(&amp;oom_printk_lock);
      while (atomic_read(&amp;printk_pending_logs) &gt; 0) {
        atomic_dec(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&amp;oom_printk_lock);
      mutex_unlock(&amp;oom_lock)
    } else {
      if (mutex_trylock(&amp;oom_printk_lock)) {
        atomic_inc(&amp;printk_pending_logs);
        mutex_unlock(&amp;oom_printk_lock);
      }
    }
    goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------

But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to
introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain
useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and
warn_alloc().

Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g.  too late [1],
too frequent [2], overlooked [3]).  As far as I know, warn_alloc() never
helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong".
I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information
during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g.  the owner of
oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions
(e.g.  turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump
of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose).

This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g.  OOM lockup due to
unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request.
But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit
warning.  Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

[ Upstream commit c63ae43ba53bc432b414fd73dd5f4b01fcb1ab43 ]

Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following
warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6676 at mm/vmstat.c:986 __fragmentation_index+0x54/0x60
  [...]
  Call Trace:

the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already.  This
is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
by the following report

Note that this is not a kvmalloc path.  It is just that the fast path
really depends on having sanitzed order as well.  Therefore move the
order check to the fast path.

requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
by the following report

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/page_alloc.c:3117:19

Note that this is not a kvmalloc path.  It is just that the fast path
really depends on having sanitzed order as well.  Therefore move the
order check to the fast path.

<title>mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset</title>

commit 7810e6781e0fcbca78b91cf65053f895bf59e85f upstream.

In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for
allocations that can ignore memory policies.  The zonelist is obtained
from current CPU's node.  This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE
allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g.  because the
allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU.

This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because
there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended.  If a slab page
is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt
the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's
list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race.

Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit
511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on
arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE
works as promised.

We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely.  There
is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets
don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place.  This was different
when commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their
own restricted zonelists.

We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's
anything currently broken.

SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't
yet have 511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page
allocated on arbitrary node") it is.  That's at least 4.4 LTS.  Older
ones I'll have to check.

So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be
reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes.  BTW I think
that also the ac-&gt;preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we
don't also reset ac-&gt;nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we
probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a
separate patch.

commit 2e517d681632326ed98399cb4dd99519efe3e32c upstream.

This warning is caused by commit d92a8cfcb37e ("locking/lockdep:
Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") which replaced the use of
lockdep_{set,clear}_current_reclaim_state() in __perform_reclaim()
and lockdep_trace_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() with
fs_reclaim_acquire()/ fs_reclaim_release().

Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC |
__GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply propagates
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() is
trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already
grabbed the 'fake' lock.

The

  /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
  if ((current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_MEMALLOC) &amp;&amp; !(gfp_mask &amp; __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
          return false;

test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock
was added by commit cf40bd16fdad ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)").  But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread
won't enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit
341ce06f69ab ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation
only once") added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (

  /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
  if (p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_MEMALLOC)
          goto nopage;

in __alloc_pages_slowpath()).

Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and
allow __need_fs_reclaim() to return false.
