<id>292924b260247483a58916f6d3550d8c92f32f55</id>
<content type='text'>
Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for
change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags
are exclusively used.  Then,

  - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW
    when a range of memory is write protected by uffd

  - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover
    _PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace

And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old
MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT.

Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs.  Then we can start to identify
which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty
tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp.

Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it
into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well.  Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we
can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either
do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd().

After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both
protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp.  Here the
userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first.  Only
after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle
the general COW.  These are the steps on what will happen with such a
page:

  1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by
     general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in
     do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority
     than general COW.

  2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
     to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD.  However here we
     still keep the write bit cleared.  Notify the blocked CPU.

  3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault
     retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit
     this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then
     it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page,
     apply write bit where necessary, and retry again.

  4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

<title>hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization</title>

<id>c0d0381ade79885c04a04c303284b040616b116e</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more synchronization", v2.

While discussing the issue with huge_pte_offset [1], I remembered that
there were more outstanding hugetlb races.  These issues are:

1) For shared pmds, huge PTE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
   invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
   reserve counts and state.

A previous attempt was made to use i_mmap_rwsem in this manner as
described at [2].  However, those patches were reverted starting with [3]
due to locking issues.

To effectively use i_mmap_rwsem to address the above issues it needs to be
held (in read mode) during page fault processing.  However, during fault
processing we need to lock the page we will be adding.  Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem.  Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.

To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages.  This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places.  However, I don't
really like this idea.  Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.

The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races.  After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ...  etc,
as needed.  This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations.  At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races.  Any other
suggestions would be welcome.

[5] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200312183142.108df9ac@canb.auug.org.au/

This patch (of 2):

While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table.  Consider the following:

A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep.  Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.

Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file.  As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped.  If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called.  For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd.  If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse.  This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.

To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
  huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
  huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling.  In addition, callers
  of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with
  the ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.

One problem with this scheme is that it requires taking i_mmap_rwsem
before taking the page lock during page faults.  This is not the order
specified in the rest of mm code.  Handling of hugetlbfs pages is mostly
isolated today.  Therefore, we use this alternative locking order for
PageHuge() pages.

         mapping-&gt;i_mmap_rwsem
           hugetlb_fault_mutex (hugetlbfs specific page fault mutex)
             page-&gt;flags PG_locked (lock_page)

To help with lock ordering issues, hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() is
introduced to write lock the i_mmap_rwsem associated with a page.

In most cases it is easy to get address_space via vma-&gt;vm_file-&gt;f_mapping.
However, in the case of migration or memory errors for anon pages we do
not have an associated vma.  A new routine _get_hugetlb_page_mapping()
will use anon_vma to get address_space in these cases.

processing we need to lock the page we will be adding.  Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem.  Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.

To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages.  This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places.  However, I don't
really like this idea.  Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.

The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races.  After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ...  etc,
as needed.  This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations.  At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races.  Any other
suggestions would be welcome.

This patch (of 2):

While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table.  Consider the following:

A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep.  Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.

Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file.  As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped.  If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called.  For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd.  If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse.  This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.

To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
  huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
  huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling.  In addition, callers
  of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with
  the ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.

One problem with this scheme is that it requires taking i_mmap_rwsem
before taking the page lock during page faults.  This is not the order
specified in the rest of mm code.  Handling of hugetlbfs pages is mostly
isolated today.  Therefore, we use this alternative locking order for
PageHuge() pages.

         mapping-&gt;i_mmap_rwsem
           hugetlb_fault_mutex (hugetlbfs specific page fault mutex)
             page-&gt;flags PG_locked (lock_page)

To help with lock ordering issues, hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() is
introduced to write lock the i_mmap_rwsem associated with a page.

In most cases it is easy to get address_space via vma-&gt;vm_file-&gt;f_mapping.
However, in the case of migration or memory errors for anon pages we do
not have an associated vma.  A new routine _get_hugetlb_page_mapping()
will use anon_vma to get address_space in these cases.

When doing UFFDIO_COPY, it is necessary to find the correct destination
vma and make sure fault range is in it.

Since there are two places need to do the same task, just wrap those
common check into an inlined function.

These warning here is to make sure address(dst_addr) and length(len -
copied) are huge page size aligned.

While this is ensured by:

    dst_start and len is huge page size aligned
    dst_addr equals to dst_start and increase huge page size each time
    copied increase huge page size each time

This means these warnings will never be triggered.

In __mcopy_atomic_hugetlb() we use two variables to deal with huge page
size: vma_hpagesize and huge_page_size.

Since they are the same, it is not necessary to use two different
mechanism. This patch makes it consistent by all using vma_hpagesize.

Suppress warning by adding parentheses.

While looking at the above issue, noticed that the 'address' parameter
