docs/core-api/mm: fix return value descriptions in mm/

2019-03-06T05:07:20+00:00

Many kernel-doc comments in mm/ have the return value descriptions
either misformatted or omitted at all which makes kernel-doc script
unhappy:

$ make V=1 htmldocs
...
./mm/util.c:36: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup
./mm/util.c:41: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup'
./mm/util.c:57: info: Scanning doc for kstrdup_const
./mm/util.c:66: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrdup_const'
./mm/util.c:75: info: Scanning doc for kstrndup
./mm/util.c:83: warning: No description found for return value of 'kstrndup'
...

Fixing the formatting and adding the missing return value descriptions
eliminates ~100 such warnings.

docs/mm: vmalloc: re-indent kernel-doc comemnts

2019-03-06T05:07:20+00:00

Some kernel-doc comments in mm/vmalloc.c have leading tab in
indentation.  This leads to excessive indentation in the generated HTML
and to the inconsistency of its layout ([1] vs [2]).

Besides, multi-line Note: sections are not handled properly with extra
indentation.

mm/vmalloc.c: fix kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:512!

2019-03-06T05:07:17+00:00

One of the vmalloc stress test case triggers the kernel BUG():

it can happen due to big align request resulting in overflowing of
calculated address, i.e.  it becomes 0 after ALIGN()'s fixup.

Fix it by checking if calculated address is within vstart/vend range.

vmalloc: export __vmalloc_node_range for CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC_MODULE

2019-03-06T05:07:15+00:00

Export __vmaloc_node_range() function if CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC_MODULE is
enabled.  Some test cases in vmalloc test suite module require and make
use of that function.  Please note, that it is not supposed to be used
for other purposes.

We need it only for performance analysis, stressing and stability check
of vmalloc allocator.

mm/vmalloc: pass VM_USERMAP flags directly to __vmalloc_node_range()

2019-03-06T05:07:15+00:00

vmalloc_user*() calls differ from normal vmalloc() only in that they set
VM_USERMAP flags for the area.  During the whole history of vmalloc.c
changes now it is possible simply to pass VM_USERMAP flags directly to
__vmalloc_node_range() call instead of finding the area (which obviously
takes time) after the allocation.

mm/vmalloc: do not call kmemleak_free() on not yet accounted memory

__vmalloc_area_node() calls vfree() on error path, which in turn calls

mm/vmalloc: fix size check for remap_vmalloc_range_partial()

2019-03-06T05:07:15+00:00

When VM_NO_GUARD is not set area->size includes adjacent guard page,
thus for correct size checking get_vm_area_size() should be used, but
not area->size.

This fixes possible kernel oops when userspace tries to mmap an area on
1 page bigger than was allocated by vmalloc_user() call: the size check
inside remap_vmalloc_range_partial() accounts non-existing guard page
also, so check successfully passes but vmalloc_to_page() returns NULL
(guard page does not physically exist).

The following code pattern example should trigger an oops:

  static int oops_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
  {
        void *mem;

        mem = vmalloc_user(4096);
        BUG_ON(!mem);
        /* Do not care about mem leak */

        return remap_vmalloc_range(vma, mem, 0);
  }

And userspace simply mmaps size + PAGE_SIZE:

  mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);

Possible candidates for oops which do not have any explicit size
checks:

   *** drivers/media/usb/stkwebcam/stk-webcam.c:
   v4l_stk_mmap[789]   ret = remap_vmalloc_range(vma, sbuf->buffer, 0);

Or the following one:

   *** drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c
   static int
   fb_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
        ...
        res = fb->fb_mmap(info, vma);

Where fb_mmap callback calls remap_vmalloc_range() directly without any
explicit checks:

   *** drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c
   static int vfb_mmap(struct fb_info *info,
             struct vm_area_struct *vma)
   {
       return remap_vmalloc_range(vma, (void *)info->fix.smem_start, vma->vm_pgoff);
   }

mm/vmalloc.c: make vmalloc_32_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA

2019-03-06T05:07:15+00:00

This patch repeats the original one from David S Miller:

  2dca6999eed5 ("mm, perf_event: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA")

but for missed vmalloc_32_user() case, which also requires correct
alignment of virtual address on kernel side to avoid D-caches aliases.
A bit of copy-paste from original patch to recover in memory of what is
all about:

  When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
  co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
  D-caches which can have aliases.

  Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace and
  vice versa.

  If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
  alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is shared
  of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED will force
  SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with D-cache
  aliasing matters.

  David S. Miller

> What are the user-visible runtime effects of this change?

In simple words: proper alignment avoids possible difference in data,
seen by different virtual mapings: userspace and kernel in our case.
I.e. userspace reads cache line A, kernel writes to cache line B.  Both
cache lines correspond to the same physical memory (thus aliases).

So this should fix data corruption for archs with vivt and vipt caches,
e.g. armv6.  Personally I've never worked with this archs, I just
spotted the strange difference in code: for one case we do alignment,
for another - not.  I have a strong feeling that David simply missed
vmalloc_32_user() case.

>
> Is a -stable backport needed?

No, I do not think so.  The only one user of vmalloc_32_user() is
virtual frame buffer device drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c, which has in the
description "The main use of this frame buffer device is testing and
debugging the frame buffer subsystem.  Do NOT enable it for normal
systems!".

And it seems to me that this vfb.c does not need 32bit addressable pages
(vmalloc_32_user() case), because it is virtual device and should not
care about things like dma32 zones, etc.  Probably is better to clean
the code and switch vfb.c from vmalloc_32_user() to vmalloc_user() case
and wipe out vmalloc_32_user() from vmalloc.c completely.  But I'm not
very much sure that this is worth to do, that's so minor, so we can
leave it as is.

mm/vmalloc.c: don't dereference possible NULL pointer in __vunmap()

2019-03-06T05:07:14+00:00

find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to
dereference it without checking it first.  Use the existing
find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for
the NULL pointer.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.
