commit 7af7a8e19f0c5425ff639b0f0d2d244c2a647724 upstream.

KSM pages may be mapped to the multiple VMAs that cannot be reached from
one anon_vma.  So during swapin, a new copy of the page need to be
generated if a different anon_vma is needed, please refer to comments of
ksm_might_need_to_copy() for details.

During swapoff, unuse_vma() uses anon_vma (if available) to locate VMA and
virtual address mapped to the page, so not all mappings to a swapped out
KSM page could be found.  So in try_to_unuse(), even if the swap count of
a swap entry isn't zero, the page needs to be deleted from swap cache, so
that, in the next round a new page could be allocated and swapin for the
other mappings of the swapped out KSM page.

But this contradicts with the THP swap support.  Where the THP could be
deleted from swap cache only after the swap count of every swap entry in
the huge swap cluster backing the THP has reach 0.  So try_to_unuse() is
changed in commit e07098294adf ("mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap
space for THP swapped out") to check that before delete a page from swap
cache, but this has broken KSM swapoff too.

Fortunately, KSM is for the normal pages only, so the original behavior
for KSM pages could be restored easily via checking PageTransCompound().
That is how this patch works.

The bug is introduced by e07098294adf ("mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim
swap space for THP swapped out"), which is merged by v4.14-rc1.  So I
think we should backport the fix to from 4.14 on.  But Hugh thinks it may
be rare for the KSM pages being in the swap device when swapoff, so nobody
reports the bug so far.

commit 02917e9f8676207a4c577d4d94eae12bf348e9d7 upstream.

At Maintainer Summit, Greg brought up a topic I proposed around
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL usage.  The motivation was considerations for when
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is warranted and the criteria for taking the exceptional
step of reclassifying an existing export.  Specifically, I wanted to make
the case that although the line is fuzzy and hard to specify in abstract
terms, it is nonetheless clear that devm_memremap_pages() and HMM
(Heterogeneous Memory Management) have crossed it.  The
devm_memremap_pages() facility should have been EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the
beginning, and HMM as a derivative of that functionality should have
naturally picked up that designation as well.

Contrary to typical rules, the HMM infrastructure was merged upstream with
zero in-tree consumers.  There was a promise at the time that those users
would be merged "soon", but it has been over a year with no drivers
arriving.  While the Nouveau driver is about to belatedly make good on
that promise it is clear that HMM was targeted first and foremost at an
out-of-tree consumer.

HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), a facility Christoph and I
spearheaded to support persistent memory.  It combines a device lifetime
model with a dynamically created 'struct page' / memmap array for any
physical address range.  It enables coordination and control of the many
code paths in the kernel built to interact with memory via 'struct page'
objects.  With HMM the integration goes even deeper by allowing device
drivers to hook and manipulate page fault and page free events.

One interpretation of when EXPORT_SYMBOL is suitable is when it is
exporting stable and generic leaf functionality.  The
devm_memremap_pages() facility continues to see expanding use cases,
peer-to-peer DMA being the most recent, with no clear end date when it
will stop attracting reworks and semantic changes.  It is not suitable to
export devm_memremap_pages() as a stable 3rd party driver API due to the
fact that it is still changing and manipulates core behavior.  Moreover,
it is not in the best interest of the long term development of the core
memory management subsystem to permit any external driver to effectively
define its own system-wide memory management policies with no
encouragement to engage with upstream.

I am also concerned that HMM was designed in a way to minimize further
engagement with the core-MM.  That, with these hooks in place,
device-drivers are free to implement their own policies without much
consideration for whether and how the core-MM could grow to meet that
need.  Going forward not only should HMM be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, but the
core-MM should be allowed the opportunity and stimulus to change and
address these new use cases as first class functionality.

Original changelog:

hmm_devmem_add(), and hmm_devmem_add_resource() duplicated
devm_memremap_pages() and are now simple now wrappers around the core
facility to inject a dev_pagemap instance into the global pgmap_radix and
hook page-idle events.  The devm_memremap_pages() interface is base
infrastructure for HMM.  HMM has more and deeper ties into the kernel
memory management implementation than base ZONE_DEVICE which is itself a
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL facility.

Originally, the HMM page structure creation routines copied the
devm_memremap_pages() code and reused ZONE_DEVICE.  A cleanup to unify the
implementations was discussed during the initial review:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.2/00812.html Recent work to
extend devm_memremap_pages() for the peer-to-peer-DMA facility enabled
this cleanup to move forward.

In addition to the integration with devm_memremap_pages() HMM depends on
other GPL-only symbols:

    mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release
    percpu_ref
    region_intersects
    __class_create

It goes further to consume / indirectly expose functionality that is not
exported to any other driver:

    alloc_pages_vma
    walk_page_range

HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), and extends deep core-kernel
fundamentals. Similar to devm_memremap_pages(), mark its entry points
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

commit bbecd94e6c514a1559fc1a7749a62715958137b1 upstream.

Commit e8d513483300 ("memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to
use struct dev_pagemap") refactored devm_memremap_pages() to allow a
dev_pagemap instance to be supplied.  Passing in a dev_pagemap interface
simplifies the design of pgmap type drivers in that they can rely on
container_of() to lookup any private data associated with the given
dev_pagemap instance.

In addition to the cleanups this also gives hmm users multi-order-radix
improvements that arrived with commit ab1b597ee0e4 "mm,
devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups"

As part of the conversion to the devm_memremap_pages() method of
handling the percpu_ref relative to when pages are put, the percpu_ref
completion needs to move to hmm_devmem_ref_exit().  See 71389703839e
("mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page...") for details.

commit 58ef15b765af0d2cbe6799ec564f1dc485010ab8 upstream.

devm semantics arrange for resources to be torn down when
device-driver-probe fails or when device-driver-release completes.
Similar to devm_memremap_pages() there is no need to support an explicit
remove operation when the users properly adhere to devm semantics.

Note that devm_kzalloc() automatically handles allocating node-local
memory.

commit 7056d3a37d2c6aaaab10c13e8e69adc67ec1fc65 upstream.

Burt Holzman has noticed that memcg v1 doesn't notify about OOM events via
eventfd anymore.  The reason is that 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move
out_of_memory back to the charge path") has moved the oom handling back to
the charge path.  While doing so the notification was left behind in
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize.

Fix the issue by replicating the oom hierarchy locking and the
notification.

<title>hwpoison, memory_hotplug: allow hwpoisoned pages to be offlined</title>

commit b15c87263a69272423771118c653e9a1d0672caa upstream.

We have received a bug report that an injected MCE about faulty memory
prevents memory offline to succeed on 4.4 base kernel.  The underlying
reason was that the HWPoison page has an elevated reference count and the
migration keeps failing.  There are two problems with that.  First of all
it is dubious to migrate the poisoned page because we know that accessing
that memory is possible to fail.  Secondly it doesn't make any sense to
migrate a potentially broken content and preserve the memory corruption
over to a new location.

Oscar has found out that 4.4 and the current upstream kernels behave
slightly differently with his simply testcase

===

int main(void)
{
        int ret;
        int i;
        int fd;
        char *array = malloc(4096);
        char *array_locked = malloc(4096);

        fd = open("/tmp/data", O_RDONLY);
        read(fd, array, 4095);

        for (i = 0; i &lt; 4096; i++)
                array_locked[i] = 'd';

        ret = mlock((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), sizeof(array_locked));
        if (ret)
                perror("mlock");

        sleep (20);

        ret = madvise((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), 4096, MADV_HWPOISON);
        if (ret)
                perror("madvise");

        for (i = 0; i &lt; 4096; i++)
                array_locked[i] = 'd';

        return 0;
}
===

+ offline this memory.

In 4.4 kernels he saw the hwpoisoned page to be returned back to the LRU
list

kernel:  [&lt;ffffffff8161c045&gt;] ret_from_fork+0x55/0x80

And that latter confuses the hotremove path because an LRU page is
attempted to be migrated and that fails due to an elevated reference
count.  It is quite possible that the reuse of the HWPoisoned page is some
kind of fixed race condition but I am not really sure about that.

With the upstream kernel the failure is slightly different.  The page
doesn't seem to have LRU bit set but isolate_movable_page simply fails and
do_migrate_range simply puts all the isolated pages back to LRU and
therefore no progress is made and scan_movable_pages finds same set of
pages over and over again.

Fix both cases by explicitly checking HWPoisoned pages before we even try
to get reference on the page, try to unmap it if it is still mapped.  As
explained by Naoya:

: Hwpoison code never unmapped those for no big reason because
: Ksm pages never dominate memory, so we simply didn't have strong
: motivation to save the pages.

Also put WARN_ON(PageLRU) in case there is a race and we can hit LRU
HWPoison pages which shouldn't happen but I couldn't convince myself about
that.  Naoya has noted the following:

: Theoretically no such gurantee, because try_to_unmap() doesn't have a
: guarantee of success and then memory_failure() returns immediately
: when hwpoison_user_mappings fails.
: Or the following code (comes after hwpoison_user_mappings block) also impli=
: es
: that the target page can still have PageLRU flag.
:
:         /*
:          * Torn down by someone else?
:          */
:         if (PageLRU(p) &amp;&amp; !PageSwapCache(p) &amp;&amp; p-&gt;mapping =3D=3D NULL) {
:                 action_result(pfn, MF_MSG_TRUNCATED_LRU, MF_IGNORED);
:                 res =3D -EBUSY;
:                 goto out;
:         }
:
: So I think it's OK to keep "if (WARN_ON(PageLRU(page)))" block in
: current version of your patch.

all hstates's size to match PAGE_SIZE.

Obviously, we do not find any hstate matching that size, and we return
NULL.  Then, we dereference that NULL pointer in
hugepage_migration_supported() and we got the #PF from above.

Fix that by getting the head page before calling page_hstate().

Also, since gigantic pages span several pageblocks, re-adjust the logic

round_up().

<title>mm: thp: fix flags for pmd migration when split</title>

When splitting a huge migrating PMD, we'll transfer all the existing PMD
bits and apply them again onto the small PTEs.  However we are fetching
the bits unconditionally via pmd_soft_dirty(), pmd_write() or
pmd_yound() while actually they don't make sense at all when it's a
migration entry.  Fix them up.  Since at it, drop the ifdef together as
not needed.

Note that if my understanding is correct about the problem then if
without the patch there is chance to lose some of the dirty bits in the
migrating pmd pages (on x86_64 we're fetching bit 11 which is part of
swap offset instead of bit 2) and it could potentially corrupt the
memory of an userspace program which depends on the dirty bit.

<title>mm, memory_hotplug: initialize struct pages for the full memory section</title>

If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary,
the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized.  This may lead
to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct page access from
is_mem_section_removable() or test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered
by memory_hotplug sysfs handlers:

Here are the the panic examples:
 CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y
 CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y

 kernel parameter mem=2050M
 --------------------------
 page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned
 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))

Fix the problem by initializing the last memory section of each zone in
memmap_init_zone() till the very end, even if it goes beyond the zone end.

<title>hugetlbfs: call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE earlier in free_huge_page()</title>

<content type='text'>
A stack trace was triggered by VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapcount(page), page)
in free_huge_page().  Unfortunately, the page-&gt;mapping field was set to
NULL before this test.  This made it more difficult to determine the
root cause of the problem.

Move the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE tests earlier in the function so that if they do
trigger more information is present in the page struct.
