commit c2407cf7d22d0c0d94cf20342b3b8f06f1d904e7 upstream.
Ever since commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common()
logic") we've had some very occasional reports of BUG_ON(PageWriteback)
in write_cache_pages(), which we thought we already fixed in commit
073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)").
But syzbot just reported another one, even with that commit in place.
And it turns out that there's a simpler way to trigger the BUG_ON() than
the one Hugh found with page re-use. It all boils down to the fact that
the page writeback is ostensibly serialized by the page lock, but that
isn't actually really true.
Yes, the people _setting_ writeback all do so under the page lock, but
the actual clearing of the bit - and waking up any waiters - happens
without any page lock.
This gives us this fairly simple race condition:
CPU1 = end previous writeback
CPU2 = start new writeback under page lock
CPU3 = write_cache_pages()
CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
---- ---- ----
end_page_writeback()
test_clear_page_writeback(page)
... delayed...
lock_page();
set_page_writeback()
unlock_page()
lock_page()
wait_on_page_writeback();
wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
.. wakes up CPU3 ..
BUG_ON(PageWriteback(page));
where the BUG_ON() happens because we woke up the PG_writeback bit
becasue of the _previous_ writeback, but a new one had already been
started because the clearing of the bit wasn't actually atomic wrt the
actual wakeup or serialized by the page lock.
The reason this didn't use to happen was that the old logic in waiting
on a page bit would just loop if it ever saw the bit set again.
The nice proper fix would probably be to get rid of the whole "wait for
writeback to clear, and then set it" logic in the writeback path, and
replace it with an atomic "wait-to-set" (ie the same as we have for page
locking: we set the page lock bit with a single "lock_page()", not with
"wait for lock bit to clear and then set it").
However, out current model for writeback is that the waiting for the
writeback bit is done by the generic VFS code (ie write_cache_pages()),
but the actual setting of the writeback bit is done much later by the
filesystem ".writepages()" function.
IOW, to make the writeback bit have that same kind of "wait-to-set"
behavior as we have for page locking, we'd have to change our roughly
~50 different writeback functions. Painful.
Instead, just make "wait_on_page_writeback()" loop on the very unlikely
situation that the PG_writeback bit is still set, basically re-instating
the old behavior. This is very non-optimal in case of contention, but
since we only ever set the bit under the page lock, that situation is
controlled.

commit 073861ed77b6b957c3c8d54a11dc503f7d986ceb upstream.
Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed
on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling
end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page,
no longer an ext4 page at all.
The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference
(as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as
soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed
from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that
wake_up_page() is reached.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/
Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail
check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page,
lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and
wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()).
Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against
that approach. If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check,
when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much
more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching
wake_up_page()? And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be
marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon? What
would that look like?
It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback()
in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself).
Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself:
"page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts,
--- thread A ---
filesystem calls end_page_writeback()
test_clear_page_writeback()
--- context switch to thread B ---
truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set,
we delete it from the page cache. Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback
starts again. Then we call write_cache_pages(), see
PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback()
--- context switch back to thread A ---
wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of
the page, PageWriteback is still set.
Devious"
And prior to 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic")
this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s
non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback
already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake.
I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the
simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling
test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page().
Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before
reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared? I think not,
because each waiter does hold a reference on the page. This bug comes
when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on,
had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache
(and whoever racily freed it). The reuse of the page has a waiter
holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated
wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

[ Upstream commit 2a9127fcf2296674d58024f83981f40b128fffea ]
It turns out that wait_on_page_bit_common() had several problems,
ranging from just unfair behavioe due to re-queueing at the end of the
wait queue when re-trying, and an outright bug that could result in
missed wakeups (but probably never happened in practice).
This rewrites the whole logic to avoid both issues, by simply moving the
logic to check (and possibly take) the bit lock into the wakeup path
instead.
That makes everything much more straightforward, and means that we never
need to re-queue the wait entry: if we get woken up, we'll be notified
through WQ_FLAG_WOKEN, and the wait queue entry will have been removed,
and everything will have been done for us.

commit 1007843a91909a4995ee78a538f62d8665705b66 upstream.
syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves
zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory
allocation requests which do not need to be retried.
One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler.
CPU0
----
__build_all_zonelists() {
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd
// e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment
some_timer_func() {
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) {
__alloc_pages_slowpath() {
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) {
// spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
}
}
}
}
// e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes
write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even
}
This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests. But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this
approach.
Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with
port->lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with
zonelist_update_seq held.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
pty_write() {
tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() {
__build_all_zonelists() {
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq);
build_zonelists() {
printk() {
vprintk() {
vprintk_default() {
vprintk_emit() {
console_unlock() {
console_flush_all() {
console_emit_next_record() {
con->write() = serial8250_console_write() {

tty_insert_flip_string() {

__alloc_pages_slowpath() {
zonelist_iter_begin() {
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq); // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); // spins forever because port->lock is held
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags);
// message is printed to console
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq);
}
}
}
This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by
preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
and
preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all()
while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd.
Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a
candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by
disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
and
disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all()
.
As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount
being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced. Although, from
lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) (i.e.
do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is
still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
inside
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq)/write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq)

commit 6fe7d6b992113719e96744d974212df3fcddc76c upstream.
The si->lock must be held when deleting the si from the available list.
Otherwise, another thread can re-add the si to the available list, which
can lead to memory corruption. The only place we have found where this
happens is in the swapoff path. This case can be described as below:
core 0 core 1
swapoff
del_from_avail_list(si) waiting
try lock si->lock acquire swap_avail_lock
and re-add si into
swap_avail_head
acquire si->lock but missing si already being added again, and continuing
to clear SWP_WRITEOK, etc.
It can be easily found that a massive warning messages can be triggered
inside get_swap_pages() by some special cases, for example, we call
madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) on blocks of touched memory concurrently, meanwhile,
run much swapon-swapoff operations (e.g. stress-ng-swap).
However, in the worst case, panic can be caused by the above scene. In
swapoff(), the memory used by si could be kept in swap_info[] after
turning off a swap. This means memory corruption will not be caused
immediately until allocated and reset for a new swap in the swapon path.
A panic message caused: (with CONFIG_PLIST_DEBUG enabled)

commit 81e506bec9be1eceaf5a2c654e28ba5176ef48d8 upstream.
Kernel build regression with LLVM was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1GCYXGtEVZbcv%2F5@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ with
commit f35b5d7d676e ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries"). And the commit f35b5d7d676e was reverted.
It turned out the regression is related with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
was used by ld.lld. But with none PMD_SIZE aligned parameter len.
trace-bpfcc captured:
531607 531732 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7feca9000000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
531607 531793 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7fec86a00000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
If the underneath physical page is THP, the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can
trigger split_queue_lock contention raised significantly. perf showed
following data:
14.85% 0.00% ld.lld [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
11.52%
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
do_syscall_64
__x64_sys_madvise
do_madvise.part.0
zap_page_range
unmap_single_vma
unmap_page_range
page_remove_rmap
deferred_split_huge_page
__lock_text_start
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
If THP can't be removed from rmap as whole THP, partial THP will be
removed from rmap by removing sub-pages from rmap. Even the THP head page
is added to deferred queue already, the split_queue_lock will be acquired
and check whether the THP head page is in the queue already. Thus, the
contention of split_queue_lock is raised.
Before acquire split_queue_lock, check and bail out early if the THP
head page is in the queue already. The checking without holding
split_queue_lock could race with deferred_split_scan, but it doesn't
impact the correctness here.

commit da34a8484d162585e22ed8c1e4114aa2f60e3567 upstream. Charge moving mode in cgroup1 allows memory to follow tasks as they migrate between cgroups. This is, and always has been, a questionable thing to do - for several reasons. First, it's expensive. Pages need to be identified, locked and isolated from various MM operations, and reassigned, one by one. Second, it's unreliable. Once pages are charged to a cgroup, there isn't always a clear owner task anymore. Cache isn't moved at all, for example. Mapped memory is moved - but if trylocking or isolating a page fails, it's arbitrarily left behind. Frequent moving between domains may leave a task's memory scattered all over the place. Third, it isn't really needed. Launcher tasks can kick off workload tasks directly in their target cgroup. Using dedicated per-workload groups allows fine-grained policy adjustments - no need to move tasks and their physical pages between control domains. The feature was never forward-ported to cgroup2, and it hasn't been missed. Despite it being a niche usecase, the maintenance overhead of supporting it is enormous. Because pages are moved while they are live and subject to various MM operations, the synchronization rules are complicated. There are lock_page_memcg() in MM and FS code, which non-cgroup people don't understand. In some cases we've been able to shift code and cgroup API calls around such that we can rely on native locking as much as possible. But that's fragile, and sometimes we need to hold MM locks for longer than we otherwise would (pte lock e.g.). Mark the feature deprecated. Hopefully we can remove it soon. And backport into -stable kernels so that people who develop against earlier kernels are warned about this deprecation as early as possible.

commit 647037adcad00f2bab8828d3d41cd0553d41f3bd upstream.
This reverts commit 115d9d77bb0f9152c60b6e8646369fa7f6167593.
The pages being freed by memblock_free_late() have already been
initialized, but if they are in the deferred init range,
__free_one_page() might access nearby uninitialized pages when trying to
coalesce buddies. This can, for example, trigger this BUG:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe964c02580c8

A proper fix will be more involved so revert this change for the time
being.
