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 ec649c9d454ea372dcf16cccf48250994f1d7788 upstream.

I got some khugepaged spew on a 32bit x86:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/mmu_notifier.h:346

Looks like it's due to CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y pte_offset_map()-&gt;kmap_atomic()
vs.  mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start().  Let's do the naive approach
and just reorder the two operations.

<title>mm: slab: make page_cgroup_ino() to recognize non-compound slab pages properly</title>

commit 221ec5c0a46c1a1740f34fb36fc661a5284d01b0 upstream.

page_cgroup_ino() doesn't return a valid memcg pointer for non-compound
slab pages, because it depends on PgHead AND PgSlab flags to be set to
determine the memory cgroup from the kmem_cache.  It's correct for
compound pages, but not for generic small pages.  Those don't have PgHead
set, so it ends up returning zero.

Fix this by replacing the condition to PageSlab() &amp;&amp; !PageTail().

Before this patch:
  [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab
  0x0000000000000080	        38        0  _______S___________________________________	slab

After this patch:
  [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab
  0x0000000000000080	       147        0  _______S___________________________________	slab

Also, hwpoison_filter_task() uses output of page_cgroup_ino() in order
to filter error injection events based on memcg.  So if
page_cgroup_ino() fails to return memcg pointer, we just fail to inject
memory error.  Considering that hwpoison filter is for testing, affected
users are limited and the impact should be marginal.

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, meminit: recalculate pcpu batch and high limits after init completes</title>

commit 3e8fc0075e24338b1117cdff6a79477427b8dbed upstream.

Deferred memory initialisation updates zone-&gt;managed_pages during the
initialisation phase but before that finishes, the per-cpu page
allocator (pcpu) calculates the number of pages allocated/freed in
batches as well as the maximum number of pages allowed on a per-cpu
list.  As zone-&gt;managed_pages is not up to date yet, the pcpu
initialisation calculates inappropriately low batch and high values.

This increases zone lock contention quite severely in some cases with
the degree of severity depending on how many CPUs share a local zone and
the size of the zone.  A private report indicated that kernel build
times were excessive with extremely high system CPU usage.  A perf
profile indicated that a large chunk of time was lost on zone-&gt;lock
contention.

This patch recalculates the pcpu batch and high values after deferred
initialisation completes for every populated zone in the system.  It was
tested on a 2-socket AMD EPYC 2 machine using a kernel compilation
workload -- allmodconfig and all available CPUs.

mmtests configuration: config-workload-kernbench-max Configuration was
modified to build on a fresh XFS partition.

Before, this was the breakdown of batch and high values over all zones
was:

    256               batch: 1
    256               batch: 63
    512               batch: 7
    256               high:  0
    256               high:  378
    512               high:  42

512 pcpu pagesets had a batch limit of 7 and a high limit of 42.  After
the patch:

    256               batch: 1
    768               batch: 63
    256               high:  0
    768               high:  378

commit 3e8fc0075e24338b1117cdff6a79477427b8dbed upstream.

Deferred memory initialisation updates zone-&gt;managed_pages during the
initialisation phase but before that finishes, the per-cpu page
allocator (pcpu) calculates the number of pages allocated/freed in
batches as well as the maximum number of pages allowed on a per-cpu
list.  As zone-&gt;managed_pages is not up to date yet, the pcpu
initialisation calculates inappropriately low batch and high values.

This increases zone lock contention quite severely in some cases with
the degree of severity depending on how many CPUs share a local zone and
the size of the zone.  A private report indicated that kernel build
times were excessive with extremely high system CPU usage.  A perf
profile indicated that a large chunk of time was lost on zone-&gt;lock
contention.

This patch recalculates the pcpu batch and high values after deferred
initialisation completes for every populated zone in the system.  It was
tested on a 2-socket AMD EPYC 2 machine using a kernel compilation
workload -- allmodconfig and all available CPUs.

mmtests configuration: config-workload-kernbench-max Configuration was
modified to build on a fresh XFS partition.

commit 869712fd3de5a90b7ba23ae1272278cddc66b37b upstream.

While upgrading from 4.16 to 5.2, we noticed these allocation errors in
the log of the new kernel:

  SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on node -1, gfp=0xa20(GFP_ATOMIC)
    cache: tw_sock_TCPv6(960:helper-logs), object size: 232, buffer size: 240, default order: 1, min order: 0
    node 0: slabs: 5, objs: 170, free: 0

        slab_out_of_memory+1
        ___slab_alloc+969
        __slab_alloc+14
        kmem_cache_alloc+346
        inet_twsk_alloc+60
        tcp_time_wait+46
        tcp_fin+206
        tcp_data_queue+2034
        tcp_rcv_state_process+784
        tcp_v6_do_rcv+405
        __release_sock+118
        tcp_close+385
        inet_release+46
        __sock_release+55
        sock_close+17
        __fput+170
        task_work_run+127
        exit_to_usermode_loop+191
        do_syscall_64+212
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68

accompanied by an increase in machines going completely radio silent
under memory pressure.

One thing that changed since 4.16 is e699e2c6a654 ("net, mm: account
sock objects to kmemcg"), which made these slab caches subject to cgroup
memory accounting and control.

The problem with that is that cgroups, unlike the page allocator, do not
maintain dedicated atomic reserves.  As a cgroup's usage hovers at its
limit, atomic allocations - such as done during network rx - can fail
consistently for extended periods of time.  The kernel is not able to
operate under these conditions.

We don't want to revert the culprit patch, because it indeed tracks a
potentially substantial amount of memory used by a cgroup.

We also don't want to implement dedicated atomic reserves for cgroups.
There is no point in keeping a fixed margin of unused bytes in the
cgroup's memory budget to accomodate a consumer that is impossible to
predict - we'd be wasting memory and get into configuration headaches,
not unlike what we have going with min_free_kbytes.  We do this for
physical mem because we have to, but cgroups are an accounting game.

Instead, account these privileged allocations to the cgroup, but let
them bypass the configured limit if they have to.  This way, we get the
benefits of accounting the consumed memory and have it exert pressure on
the rest of the cgroup, but like with the page allocator, we shift the
burden of reclaimining on behalf of atomic allocations onto the regular
allocations that can block.

commit 7961eee3978475fd9e8626137f88595b1ca05856 upstream.

__mem_cgroup_free() can be called on the failure path in
mem_cgroup_alloc().  However memcg_flush_percpu_vmstats() and
memcg_flush_percpu_vmevents() which are called from __mem_cgroup_free()
access the fields of memcg which can potentially be null if called from
failure path from mem_cgroup_alloc().  Indeed syzbot has reported the
following crash:

Fixing this by moving the flush to mem_cgroup_free as there is no need
to flush anything if we see failure in mem_cgroup_alloc().

Fixing this by moving the flush to mem_cgroup_free as there is no need
to flush anything if we see failure in mem_cgroup_alloc().

<title>mm/memory-failure: poison read receives SIGKILL instead of SIGBUS if mmaped more than once</title>

commit 3d7fed4ad8ccb691d217efbb0f934e6a4df5ef91 upstream.

Mmap /dev/dax more than once, then read the poison location using
address from one of the mappings.  The other mappings due to not having
the page mapped in will cause SIGKILLs delivered to the process.
SIGKILL succeeds over SIGBUS, so user process loses the opportunity to
handle the UE.

Although one may add MAP_POPULATE to mmap(2) to work around the issue,
MAP_POPULATE makes mapping 128GB of pmem several magnitudes slower, so
isn't always an option.

<title>hugetlbfs: don't access uninitialized memmaps in pfn_range_valid_gigantic()</title>

commit f231fe4235e22e18d847e05cbe705deaca56580a upstream.

Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get
touched.

Let's make sure that we only consider online memory (managed by the
buddy) that has initialized memmaps.  ZONE_DEVICE is not applicable.

page_zone() will call page_to_nid(), which will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PagePoisoned(page), page) with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING
and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS when called on uninitialized memmaps.  This
can be the case when an offline memory block (e.g., never onlined) is
spanned by a zone.

Note: As explained by Michal in [1], alloc_contig_range() will verify
the range.  So it boils down to the wrong access in this function.

<title>mm: memblock: do not enforce current limit for memblock_phys* family</title>

commit f3057ad767542be7bbac44e548cb44017178a163 upstream.

Until commit 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock: refactor internal allocation
functions") the maximal address for memblock allocations was forced to
memblock.current_limit only for the allocation functions returning
virtual address.  The changes introduced by that commit moved the limit
enforcement into the allocation core and as a result the allocation
functions returning physical address also started to limit allocations
to memblock.current_limit.

This caused breakage of etnaviv GPU driver:

  etnaviv etnaviv: bound 130000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
  etnaviv etnaviv: bound 134000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
  etnaviv etnaviv: bound 2204000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)

  etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: model: GC355, revision: 1215
  etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: Ignoring GPU with VG and FE2.0

Restore the behaviour of memblock_phys* family so that these functions
will not enforce memblock.current_limit.
