[ Upstream commit 8310d48b125d19fcd9521d83b8293e63eb1646aa ]

In commit 19be0eaffa3a ("mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from
__get_user_pages()"), the mm code was changed from unsetting FOLL_WRITE
after a COW was resolved to setting the (newly introduced) FOLL_COW
instead.  Simultaneously, the check in gup.c was updated to still allow
writes with FOLL_FORCE set if FOLL_COW had also been set.

However, a similar check in huge_memory.c was forgotten.  As a result,
remote memory writes to ro regions of memory backed by transparent huge
pages cause an infinite loop in the kernel (handle_mm_fault sets
FOLL_COW and returns 0 causing a retry, but follow_trans_huge_pmd bails
out immidiately because `(flags &amp; FOLL_WRITE) &amp;&amp; !pmd_write(*pmd)` is
true.

While in this state the process is stil SIGKILLable, but little else
works (e.g.  no ptrace attach, no other signals).  This is easily
reproduced with the following code (assuming thp are set to always):

    #include &lt;assert.h&gt;
    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;stdint.h&gt;
    #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
    #include &lt;string.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

    #define TEST_SIZE 5 * 1024 * 1024

    int main(void) {
      int status;
      pid_t child;
      int fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR);
      void *addr = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ,
                        MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0);
      assert(addr != MAP_FAILED);
      pid_t parent_pid = getpid();
      if ((child = fork()) == 0) {
        void *addr2 = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                           MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0);
        assert(addr2 != MAP_FAILED);
        memset(addr2, 'a', TEST_SIZE);
        pwrite(fd, addr2, TEST_SIZE, (uintptr_t)addr);
        return 0;
      }
      assert(child == waitpid(child, &amp;status, 0));
      assert(WIFEXITED(status) &amp;&amp; WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0);
      return 0;
    }

Fix this by updating follow_trans_huge_pmd in huge_memory.c analogously
to the update in gup.c in the original commit.  The same pattern exists
in follow_devmap_pmd.  However, we should not be able to reach that
check with FOLL_COW set, so add WARN_ONCE to make sure we notice if we
ever do.

[ Upstream commit 70feee0e1ef331b22cc51f383d532a0d043fbdcc ]

Kefeng reported that when running the follow test, the mlock count in
meminfo will increase permanently:

 [1] testcase
 linux:~ # cat test_mlockal
 grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
  for j in `seq 0 10`
  do
 	for i in `seq 4 15`
 	do
 		./p_mlockall &gt;&gt; log &amp;
 	done
 	sleep 0.2
 done
 # wait some time to let mlock counter decrease and 5s may not enough
 sleep 5
 grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo

 linux:~ # cat p_mlockall.c
 #include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
 #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
 #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

 #define SPACE_LEN	4096

 int main(int argc, char ** argv)
 {
	 	int ret;
	 	void *adr = malloc(SPACE_LEN);
	 	if (!adr)
	 		return -1;

	 	ret = mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE);
	 	printf("mlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);

	 	ret = munlockall();
	 	printf("munlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);

	 	free(adr);
	 	return 0;
	 }

In __munlock_pagevec() we should decrement NR_MLOCK for each page where
we clear the PageMlocked flag.  Commit 1ebb7cc6a583 ("mm: munlock: batch
NR_MLOCK zone state updates") has introduced a bug where we don't
decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to
isolate them from the lru list (e.g.  when the pages are on some other
cpu's percpu pagevec).  Since PageMlocked stays cleared, the NR_MLOCK
accounting gets permanently disrupted by this.

Fix it by counting the number of page whose PageMlock flag is cleared.

[ Upstream commit ead07f6a867b5b1b41cf703735e8b39094987a7d ]

memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by
MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective.  When
MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller
takes a refcount of the target page.  And if cleared, memory_failure()
takes it in it's own.

In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller.
For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and
hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero().  So this inconsistent
refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages.
Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page().

To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page()
to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison
code.

memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns
without completing page isolation.  This is not good because PageHWPoison
on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps.  So
this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp"
case and "thp split failed" case, expecting an MCE(SRAR) generated by
later access afterward will properly free such thps.

<title>mm/memory-failure: split thp earlier in memory error handling</title>

[ Upstream commit 415c64c1453aa2bbcc7e30a38f8894d0894cb8ab ]

memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split
it before doing isolation.  Currently thp is split in the middle of
hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure()
wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting.

1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp,
   but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized.  In
   such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for
   hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate().

memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier,

[ Upstream commit 415c64c1453aa2bbcc7e30a38f8894d0894cb8ab ]

memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split
it before doing isolation.  Currently thp is split in the middle of
hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure()
wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting.

1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp,
   but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized.  In
   such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for
   hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate().

2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with
   SWAP_SUCCESS and the result is the same as case 1.

memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier,
which also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and
thp.

<title>slub/memcg: cure the brainless abuse of sysfs attributes</title>

[ Upstream commit 478fe3037b2278d276d4cd9cd0ab06c4cb2e9b32 ]

memcg_propagate_slab_attrs() abuses the sysfs attribute file functions
to propagate settings from the root kmem_cache to a newly created
kmem_cache.  It does that with:

     attr-&gt;show(root, buf);
     attr-&gt;store(new, buf, strlen(bug);

Aside of being a lazy and absurd hackery this is broken because it does
not check the return value of the show() function.

Some of the show() functions return 0 w/o touching the buffer.  That
means in such a case the store function is called with the stale content
of the previous show().  That causes nonsense like invoking
kmem_cache_shrink() on a newly created kmem_cache.  In the worst case it
would cause handing in an uninitialized buffer.

This should be rewritten proper by adding a propagate() callback to
those slub_attributes which must be propagated and avoid that insane
conversion to and from ASCII, but that's too large for a hot fix.

Check at least the return value of the show() function, so calling
store() with stale content is prevented.

Steven said:
 "It can cause a deadlock with get_online_cpus() that has been uncovered
  by recent cpu hotplug and lockdep changes that Thomas and Peter have
  been doing.

     Possible unsafe locking scenario:

           CPU0                    CPU1
           ----                    ----

                                   lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
      lock(slab_mutex);

     *** DEADLOCK ***"

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This bug is triggered when pmd_present() returns true for non-present
hugetlb, so fixing the present check in follow_huge_pmd() prevents it.
Using pmd_present() to determine present/non-present for hugetlb is not
correct, because pmd_present() checks multiple bits (not only
_PAGE_PRESENT) for historical reason and it can misjudge hugetlb state.

[ Upstream commit 320661b08dd6f1746d5c7ab4eb435ec64b97cd45 ]

Update to pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_alloc() is currently done

Update to pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_alloc() is currently done
without holding pcpu_lock. This can lead to bad updates to the variable.
Add missing lock calls.

[ Upstream commit dd8416c47715cf324c9a16f13273f9fda87acfed ]

With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it
propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails.  The
problem is it accesses page-&gt;mapping directly which might be okay for
file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page.  Otherwise, it
can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic
randomly.

swap_writepage
  bdev_writepage
    ops-&gt;rw_page

I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was
really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime
mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to
zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.

When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with
brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

[ Upstream commit e1587a4945408faa58d0485002c110eb2454740c ]

At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than
scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and
thus a critical event.  Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than
scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in
shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages.

Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP
page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.
