commit aa71ecd8d86500da6081a72da6b0b524007e0627 upstream.

In 64bit system. sb-&gt;s_maxbytes of shmem filesystem is MAX_LFS_FILESIZE,
which equal LLONG_MAX.

If offset &gt; LLONG_MAX - PAGE_SIZE, offset + len &lt; LLONG_MAX in
shmem_fallocate, which will pass the checking in vfs_fallocate.

	/* Check for wrap through zero too */
	if (((offset + len) &gt; inode-&gt;i_sb-&gt;s_maxbytes) || ((offset + len) &lt; 0))
		return -EFBIG;

loff_t unmap_start = round_up(offset, PAGE_SIZE) in shmem_fallocate
causes a overflow.

Syzkaller reports a overflow problem in mm/shmem:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/shmem.c:2014:10
  signed integer overflow: '9223372036854775807 + 1' cannot be represented in type 'long long int'

The highest bit of unmap_start will be appended with sign bit 1
(overflow) when calculate shmem_falloc.start:

    shmem_falloc.start = unmap_start &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT.

Fix it by casting the type of unmap_start to u64, when right shifted.

This bug is found in LTS Linux 4.1.  It also seems to exist in mainline.

[ Upstream commit 64081362e8ff4587b4554087f3cfc73d3e0a4cd7 ]

We've recently seen a workload on XFS filesystems with a repeatable
deadlock between background writeback and a multi-process application
doing concurrent writes and fsyncs to a small range of a file.

range_cyclic
writeback		Process 1		Process 2

xfs_vm_writepages
  write_cache_pages
    writeback_index = 2
    cycled = 0
    ....
    find page 2 dirty
    lock Page 2
    -&gt;writepage
      page 2 writeback
      page 2 clean
      page 2 added to bio
    no more pages
			write()
			locks page 1
			dirties page 1
			locks page 2
			dirties page 1
			fsync()
			....
			xfs_vm_writepages
			write_cache_pages
			  start index 0
			  find page 1 towrite
			  lock Page 1
			  -&gt;writepage
			    page 1 writeback
			    page 1 clean
			    page 1 added to bio
			  find page 2 towrite
			  lock Page 2
			  page 2 is writeback
			  &lt;blocks&gt;
						write()
						locks page 1
						dirties page 1
						fsync()
						....
						xfs_vm_writepages
						write_cache_pages
						  start index 0

    !done &amp;&amp; !cycled
      sets index to 0, restarts lookup
    find page 1 dirty
						  find page 1 towrite
						  lock Page 1
						  page 1 is writeback
						  &lt;blocks&gt;

    lock Page 1
    &lt;blocks&gt;

DEADLOCK because:

	- process 1 needs page 2 writeback to complete to make
	  enough progress to issue IO pending for page 1
	- writeback needs page 1 writeback to complete so process 2
	  can progress and unlock the page it is blocked on, then it
	  can issue the IO pending for page 2
	- process 2 can't make progress until process 1 issues IO
	  for page 1

The underlying cause of the problem here is that range_cyclic writeback is
processing pages in descending index order as we hold higher index pages
in a structure controlled from above write_cache_pages().  The
write_cache_pages() caller needs to be able to submit these pages for IO
before write_cache_pages restarts writeback at mapping index 0 to avoid
wcp inverting the page lock/writeback wait order.

generic_writepages() is not susceptible to this bug as it has no private
context held across write_cache_pages() - filesystems using this
infrastructure always submit pages in -&gt;writepage immediately and so there
is no problem with range_cyclic going back to mapping index 0.

However:
	mpage_writepages() has a private bio context,
	exofs_writepages() has page_collect
	fuse_writepages() has fuse_fill_wb_data
	nfs_writepages() has nfs_pageio_descriptor
	xfs_vm_writepages() has xfs_writepage_ctx

All of these -&gt;writepages implementations can hold pages under writeback
in their private structures until write_cache_pages() returns, and hence
they are all susceptible to this deadlock.

Also worth noting is that ext4 has it's own bastardised version of
write_cache_pages() and so it /may/ have an equivalent deadlock.  I looked
at the code long enough to understand that it has a similar retry loop for
range_cyclic writeback reaching the end of the file and then promptly ran
away before my eyes bled too much.  I'll leave it for the ext4 developers
to determine if their code is actually has this deadlock and how to fix it
if it has.

There's a few ways I can see avoid this deadlock.  There's probably more,
but these are the first I've though of:

1. get rid of range_cyclic altogether

2. range_cyclic always stops at EOF, and we start again from
writeback index 0 on the next call into write_cache_pages()

2a. wcp also returns EAGAIN to -&gt;writepages implementations to
indicate range cyclic has hit EOF. writepages implementations can
then flush the current context and call wpc again to continue. i.e.
lift the retry into the -&gt;writepages implementation

3. range_cyclic uses trylock_page() rather than lock_page(), and it
skips pages it can't lock without blocking. It will already do this
for pages under writeback, so this seems like a no-brainer

3a. all non-WB_SYNC_ALL writeback uses trylock_page() to avoid
blocking as per pages under writeback.

I don't think #1 is an option - range_cyclic prevents frequently
dirtied lower file offset from starving background writeback of
rarely touched higher file offsets.

#2 is simple, and I don't think it will have any impact on
performance as going back to the start of the file implies an
immediate seek. We'll have exactly the same number of seeks if we
switch writeback to another inode, and then come back to this one
later and restart from index 0.

#2a is pretty much "status quo without the deadlock". Moving the
retry loop up into the wcp caller means we can issue IO on the
pending pages before calling wcp again, and so avoid locking or
waiting on pages in the wrong order. I'm not convinced we need to do
this given that we get the same thing from #2 on the next writeback
call from the writeback infrastructure.

#3 is really just a band-aid - it doesn't fix the access/wait
inversion problem, just prevents it from becoming a deadlock
situation. I'd prefer we fix the inversion, not sweep it under the
carpet like this.

#3a is really an optimisation that just so happens to include the
band-aid fix of #3.

So it seems that the simplest way to fix this issue is to implement
solution #2

The commit eb4058d8daf8 ("memfd: Fix locking when tagging pins")
introduces the following warning messages.

*WARNING: suspicious RCU usage in memfd_wait_for_pins*

It is because we still use radix_tree_deref_slot without read_rcu_lock.
We should use radix_tree_deref_slot_protected instead in the case.

The commit eb4058d8daf8 ("memfd: Fix locking when tagging pins")
introduces the following warning messages.

*WARNING: suspicious RCU usage in memfd_wait_for_pins*

It is because we still use radix_tree_deref_slot without read_rcu_lock.
We should use radix_tree_deref_slot_protected instead in the case.

commit 0362f326d86c645b5e96b7dbc3ee515986ed019d upstream.

An exiting task might belong to an offline cgroup.  In this case an
attempt to grab a cgroup reference from the task can end up with an
infinite loop in hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup(), because neither the
cgroup will become online, neither the task will be migrated to a live
cgroup.

Fix this by switching over to css_tryget().  As css_tryget_online()
can't guarantee that the cgroup won't go offline, in most cases the
check doesn't make sense.  In this particular case users of
hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup() are not affected by this change.

A similar problem is described by commit 18fa84a2db0e ("cgroup: Use
css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() in task_get_css()").

commit 00d484f354d85845991b40141d40ba9e5eb60faf upstream.

We've encountered a rcu stall in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm():

  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The problem is caused by an exiting task which is associated with an
offline memcg.  We're iterating over and over in the do {} while
(!css_tryget_online()) loop, but obviously the memcg won't become online
and the exiting task won't be migrated to a live memcg.

Let's fix it by switching from css_tryget_online() to css_tryget().

As css_tryget_online() cannot guarantee that the memcg won't go offline,
the check is usually useless, except some rare cases when for example it
determines if something should be presented to a user.

A similar problem is described by commit 18fa84a2db0e ("cgroup: Use
css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() in task_get_css()").

Johannes:

: The bug aside, it doesn't matter whether the cgroup is online for the
: callers.  It used to matter when offlining needed to evacuate all charges
: from the memcg, and so needed to prevent new ones from showing up, but we
: don't care now.

<title>mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping has no dirty pages</title>

commit c3aab9a0bd91b696a852169479b7db1ece6cbf8c upstream.

Functions like filemap_write_and_wait_range() should do nothing if inode
has no dirty pages or pages currently under writeback.  But they anyway
construct struct writeback_control and this does some atomic operations if
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK=y - on fast path it locks inode-&gt;i_lock and
updates state of writeback ownership, on slow path might be more work.
Current this path is safely avoided only when inode mapping has no pages.

For example generic_file_read_iter() calls filemap_write_and_wait_range()
at each O_DIRECT read - pretty hot path.

This patch skips starting new writeback if mapping has no dirty tags set.
If writeback is already in progress filemap_write_and_wait_range() will
wait for it.

commit abaed0112c1db08be15a784a2c5c8a8b3063cdd3 upstream.

/proc/pagetypeinfo is a debugging tool to examine internal page
allocator state wrt to fragmentation.  It is not very useful for any
other use so normal users really do not need to read this file.

Waiman Long has noticed that reading this file can have negative side
effects because zone-&gt;lock is necessary for gathering data and that a)
interferes with the page allocator and its users and b) can lead to hard
lockups on large machines which have very long free_list.

Reduce both issues by simply not exporting the file to regular users.

<title>mm/slub: fix a deadlock in show_slab_objects()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e4f8e513c3d353c134ad4eef9fd0bba12406c7c8 upstream.

A long time ago we fixed a similar deadlock in show_slab_objects() [1].
However, it is apparently due to the commits like 01fb58bcba63 ("slab:
remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation
path") and 03afc0e25f7f ("slab: get_online_mems for
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}"), this kind of deadlock is back by
just reading files in /sys/kernel/slab which will generate a lockdep
splat below.

Since the "mem_hotplug_lock" here is only to obtain a stable online node
mask while racing with NUMA node hotplug, in the worst case, the results
may me miscalculated while doing NUMA node hotplug, but they shall be
corrected by later reads of the same files.

  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  ------------------------------------------------------
  cat/5224 is trying to acquire lock:

I think it is important to mention that this doesn't expose the

might really race here and that is the slab hotplug notifier callback
__kmem_cache_shrink (via slab_mem_going_offline_callback) but that path
doesn't really destroy kmem_cache_node data structures.

commit e4f8e513c3d353c134ad4eef9fd0bba12406c7c8 upstream.

A long time ago we fixed a similar deadlock in show_slab_objects() [1].
However, it is apparently due to the commits like 01fb58bcba63 ("slab:
remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation
path") and 03afc0e25f7f ("slab: get_online_mems for
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}"), this kind of deadlock is back by
just reading files in /sys/kernel/slab which will generate a lockdep
splat below.

Since the "mem_hotplug_lock" here is only to obtain a stable online node
mask while racing with NUMA node hotplug, in the worst case, the results
may me miscalculated while doing NUMA node hotplug, but they shall be
corrected by later reads of the same files.

The RCU lock is insufficient to protect the radix tree iteration as
a deletion from the tree can occur before we take the spinlock to
tag the entry.  In 4.19, this has manifested as a bug with the following
trace:
