commit 4aab2be0983031a05cb4a19696c9da5749523426 upstream.

When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently after
hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost.

This change restores min_free_kbytes as expected for THP consumers.

commit 033b5d77551167f8c24ca862ce83d3e0745f9245 upstream.

There have been elusive reports of filemap_fault() hitting its
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != offset, page) on kernels built
with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y.

Suren has hit it on a kernel with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y and
CONFIG_NUMA is not set: and he has analyzed it down to how khugepaged
without NUMA reuses the same huge page after collapse_file() failed
(whereas NUMA targets its allocation to the respective node each time).
And most of us were usually testing with CONFIG_NUMA=y kernels.

collapse_file(old start)
  new_page = khugepaged_alloc_page(hpage)
  __SetPageLocked(new_page)
  new_page-&gt;index = start // hpage-&gt;index=old offset
  new_page-&gt;mapping = mapping
  xas_store(&amp;xas, new_page)

                          filemap_fault
                            page = find_get_page(mapping, offset)
                            // if offset falls inside hpage then
                            // compound_head(page) == hpage
                            lock_page_maybe_drop_mmap()
                              __lock_page(page)

  // collapse fails
  xas_store(&amp;xas, old page)
  new_page-&gt;mapping = NULL
  unlock_page(new_page)

collapse_file(new start)
  new_page = khugepaged_alloc_page(hpage)
  __SetPageLocked(new_page)
  new_page-&gt;index = start // hpage-&gt;index=new offset
  new_page-&gt;mapping = mapping // mapping becomes valid again

                            // since compound_head(page) == hpage
                            // page_to_pgoff(page) got changed
                            VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != offset)

An initial patch replaced __SetPageLocked() by lock_page(), which did
fix the race which Suren illustrates above.  But testing showed that it's
not good enough: if the racing task's __lock_page() gets delayed long
after its find_get_page(), then it may follow collapse_file(new start)'s
successful final unlock_page(), and crash on the same VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

It could be fixed by relaxing filemap_fault()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE to a
check and retry (as is done for mapping), with similar relaxations in
find_lock_entry() and pagecache_get_page(): but it's not obvious what
else might get caught out; and khugepaged non-NUMA appears to be unique
in exposing a page to page cache, then revoking, without going through
a full cycle of freeing before reuse.

Instead, non-NUMA khugepaged_prealloc_page() release the old page
if anyone else has a reference to it (1% of cases when I tested).

Although never reported on huge tmpfs, I believe its find_lock_entry()
has been at similar risk; but huge tmpfs does not rely on khugepaged
for its normal working nearly so much as READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS does.

<title>mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations</title>

commit f85086f95fa36194eb0db5cd5c12e56801b98523 upstream.

In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state's value is checked to
detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug
operation.  Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong
because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state.  In
addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system
state by the ACPI [1].  So checking against the system state is not
enough.

The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this:

 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and
hot-unplug operations are done.  At the next reboot the node's memory
ranges can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is
made in topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING
state, the node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to
multiple nodes:

  $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node*
  total 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -&gt; ../../node/node1
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -&gt; ../../node/node2

In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses
memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs
inconsistency is detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON():

This patch addresses the root cause by not relying on the system_state
value to detect whether the call is due to a hot-plug operation.  An
extra parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the
operation is due to a hot-plug operation.

[1] According to Oscar Salvador, using this qemu command line, ACPI
memory hotplug operations are raised at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state:

This patch addresses the root cause by not relying on the system_state
value to detect whether the call is due to a hot-plug operation.  An
extra parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the
operation is due to a hot-plug operation.

[1] According to Oscar Salvador, using this qemu command line, ACPI
memory hotplug operations are raised at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state:

  $QEMU -enable-kvm -machine pc -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -cpu host -monitor pty \

commit c1d0da83358a2316d9be7f229f26126dbaa07468 upstream.

Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3.

Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:

 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in
sysfs:

  $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21
  total 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -&gt; ../../node/node1
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -&gt; ../../node/node2
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index

  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones

The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both
the node1 and node2's directory.

This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run.  However when
later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged,
the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a
BUG_ON() is raised:

    system_call_exception+0x160/0x270
    system_call_common+0xf0/0x27c

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered,
the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block
is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.

There are two issues here:

 (a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these
     multiple links

 (b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
     panic.

To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the
system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot
plug operation or not.  This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this
series.

Issue (b) will be addressed separately.

This patch (of 2):

The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is
due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.

Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as
meminit_context.

There is no functional change introduced by this patch

commit 41663430588c737dd735bad5a0d1ba325dcabd59 upstream.

SWP_FS is used to make swap_{read,write}page() go through the
filesystem, and it's only used for swap files over NFS.  So, !SWP_FS
means non NFS for now, it could be either file backed or device backed.
Something similar goes with legacy SWP_FILE.

So in order to achieve the goal of the original patch, SWP_BLKDEV should
be used instead.

FS corruption can be observed with SSD device + XFS + fragmented
swapfile due to CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y.

I reproduced the issue with the following details:

Environment:

  QEMU + upstream kernel + buildroot + NVMe (2 GB)

Kernel config:

  CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y
  CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y

Some reproducible steps:

  mkfs.xfs -f /dev/nvme0n1
  mkdir /tmp/mnt
  mount /dev/nvme0n1 /tmp/mnt
  bs="32k"
  sz="1024m"    # doesn't matter too much, I also tried 16m
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -F -S 0 -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fsync" /tmp/mnt/sw

  mkswap /tmp/mnt/sw
  swapon /tmp/mnt/sw

  stress --vm 2 --vm-bytes 600M   # doesn't matter too much as well

Symptoms:
 - FS corruption (e.g. checksum failure)
 - memory corruption at: 0xd2808010
 - segfault

[ Upstream commit 09ef5283fd96ac424ef0e569626f359bf9ab86c9 ]

On passing requirement to vm_unmapped_area, arch_get_unmapped_area and
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown did not set align_offset.  Internally on
both unmapped_area and unmapped_area_topdown, if info-&gt;align_mask is 0,
then info-&gt;align_offset was meaningless.

But commit df529cabb7a2 ("mm: mmap: add trace point of
vm_unmapped_area") always prints info-&gt;align_offset even though it is
uninitialized.

Fix this uninitialized value issue by setting it to 0 explicitly.

Before:
  vm_unmapped_area: addr=0x755b155000 err=0 total_vm=0x15aaf0 flags=0x1 len=0x109000 lo=0x8000 hi=0x75eed48000 mask=0x0 ofs=0x4022

pgdat-&gt;kswapd_classzone_idx could be accessed concurrently in
wakeup_kswapd().  Plain writes and reads without any lock protection
result in data races.  Fix them by adding a pair of READ|WRITE_ONCE() as
well as saving a branch (compilers might well optimize the original code
in an unintentional way anyway).  While at it, also take care of
pgdat-&gt;kswapd_order and non-kswapd threads in allow_direct_reclaim().  The
data races were reported by KCSAN,

<title>mm/filemap.c: clear page error before actual read</title>

[ Upstream commit faffdfa04fa11ccf048cebdde73db41ede0679e0 ]

Mount failure issue happens under the scenario: Application forked dozens
of threads to mount the same number of cramfs images separately in docker,
but several mounts failed with high probability.  Mount failed due to the
checking result of the page(read from the superblock of loop dev) is not
uptodate after wait_on_page_locked(page) returned in function cramfs_read:

   wait_on_page_locked(page);
   if (!PageUptodate(page)) {
      ...
   }

The reason of the checking result of the page not uptodate: systemd-udevd
read the loopX dev before mount, because the status of loopX is Lo_unbound
at this time, so loop_make_request directly trigger the calling of io_end
handler end_buffer_async_read, which called SetPageError(page).  So It
caused the page can't be set to uptodate in function
end_buffer_async_read:

   if(page_uptodate &amp;&amp; !PageError(page)) {
      SetPageUptodate(page);
   }

Then mount operation is performed, it used the same page which is just
accessed by systemd-udevd above, Because this page is not uptodate, it
will launch a actual read via submit_bh, then wait on this page by calling
wait_on_page_locked(page).  When the I/O of the page done, io_end handler
end_buffer_async_read is called, because no one cleared the page
error(during the whole read path of mount), which is caused by
systemd-udevd reading, so this page is still in "PageError" status, which
can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read, then caused
mount failure.

But sometimes mount succeed even through systemd-udeved read loopX dev
just before, The reason is systemd-udevd launched other loopX read just
between step 3.1 and 3.2, the steps as below:

1, loopX dev default status is Lo_unbound;
2, systemd-udved read loopX dev (page is set to PageError);
3, mount operation
   1) set loopX status to Lo_bound;
   ==&gt;systemd-udevd read loopX dev&lt;==
   2) read loopX dev(page has no error)
   3) mount succeed

As the loopX dev status is set to Lo_bound after step 3.1, so the other
loopX dev read by systemd-udevd will go through the whole I/O stack, part
of the call trace as below:

   SYS_read
      vfs_read
          do_sync_read
              blkdev_aio_read
                 generic_file_aio_read
                     do_generic_file_read:
                        ClearPageError(page);
                        mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(filp, page);

here, mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage() is blkdev_readpage.  In latest kernel,
some function name changed, the call trace as below:

   blkdev_read_iter
      generic_file_read_iter
         generic_file_buffered_read:
            /*
             * A previous I/O error may have been due to temporary
             * failures, eg. mutipath errors.
             * Pg_error will be set again if readpage fails.
             */
            ClearPageError(page);
            /* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page*/
            error=mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(flip, page);

We can see ClearPageError(page) is called before the actual read,
then the read in step 3.2 succeed.

This patch is to add the calling of ClearPageError just before the actual
read of read path of cramfs mount.  Without the patch, the call trace as
below when performing cramfs mount:

   do_mount
      cramfs_read
         cramfs_blkdev_read
            read_cache_page
               do_read_cache_page:
                  filler(data, page);
                  or
                  mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(data, page);

With the patch, the call trace as below when performing mount:

   do_mount
      cramfs_read
         cramfs_blkdev_read
            read_cache_page:
               do_read_cache_page:
                  ClearPageError(page); &lt;== new add
                  filler(data, page);
                  or
                  mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(data, page);

With the patch, mount operation trigger the calling of
ClearPageError(page) before the actual read, the page has no error if no
additional page error happen when I/O done.

[ Upstream commit faffdfa04fa11ccf048cebdde73db41ede0679e0 ]

Mount failure issue happens under the scenario: Application forked dozens
of threads to mount the same number of cramfs images separately in docker,
but several mounts failed with high probability.  Mount failed due to the
checking result of the page(read from the superblock of loop dev) is not
uptodate after wait_on_page_locked(page) returned in function cramfs_read:

   wait_on_page_locked(page);
   if (!PageUptodate(page)) {
      ...
   }

The reason of the checking result of the page not uptodate: systemd-udevd
read the loopX dev before mount, because the status of loopX is Lo_unbound
at this time, so loop_make_request directly trigger the calling of io_end
handler end_buffer_async_read, which called SetPageError(page).  So It
caused the page can't be set to uptodate in function
end_buffer_async_read:

   if(page_uptodate &amp;&amp; !PageError(page)) {
      SetPageUptodate(page);
   }

Then mount operation is performed, it used the same page which is just
accessed by systemd-udevd above, Because this page is not uptodate, it
will launch a actual read via submit_bh, then wait on this page by calling
wait_on_page_locked(page).  When the I/O of the page done, io_end handler
end_buffer_async_read is called, because no one cleared the page
error(during the whole read path of mount), which is caused by
systemd-udevd reading, so this page is still in "PageError" status, which
can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read, then caused
mount failure.

But sometimes mount succeed even through systemd-udeved read loopX dev
just before, The reason is systemd-udevd launched other loopX read just
between step 3.1 and 3.2, the steps as below:

1, loopX dev default status is Lo_unbound;
2, systemd-udved read loopX dev (page is set to PageError);
3, mount operation
   1) set loopX status to Lo_bound;
   ==&gt;systemd-udevd read loopX dev&lt;==
   2) read loopX dev(page has no error)
   3) mount succeed

As the loopX dev status is set to Lo_bound after step 3.1, so the other
loopX dev read by systemd-udevd will go through the whole I/O stack, part
of the call trace as below:

   SYS_read
      vfs_read
          do_sync_read
              blkdev_aio_read
                 generic_file_aio_read
                     do_generic_file_read:
                        ClearPageError(page);
                        mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(filp, page);

here, mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage() is blkdev_readpage.  In latest kernel,
some function name changed, the call trace as below:

   blkdev_read_iter
      generic_file_read_iter
         generic_file_buffered_read:
            /*
             * A previous I/O error may have been due to temporary
             * failures, eg. mutipath errors.
             * Pg_error will be set again if readpage fails.
             */
            ClearPageError(page);
            /* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page*/
            error=mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(flip, page);

then the read in step 3.2 succeed.

This patch is to add the calling of ClearPageError just before the actual
read of read path of cramfs mount.  Without the patch, the call trace as
below when performing cramfs mount:

   do_mount
      cramfs_read
         cramfs_blkdev_read
            read_cache_page
               do_read_cache_page:
                  filler(data, page);
                  or
                  mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage(data, page);

With the patch, the call trace as below when performing mount:

   do_mount
      cramfs_read
         cramfs_blkdev_read
            read_cache_page:

Clang warns:

  mm/kmemleak.c:1955:28: warning: array comparison always evaluates to a constant [-Wtautological-compare]
        if (__start_ro_after_init &lt; _sdata || __end_ro_after_init &gt; _edata)

        if (__start_ro_after_init &lt; _sdata || __end_ro_after_init &gt; _edata)

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just
addresses.  Using the address of operator silences the warning and does
not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld
(tested with diff + objdump -Dr).
