commit 18e77600f7a1ed69f8ce46c9e11cad0985712dfa upstream.

Only once have I seen this scenario (and forgot even to notice what forced
the eventual crash): a sequence of "BUG: Bad page map" alerts from
vm_normal_page(), from zap_pte_range() servicing exit_mmap();
pmd:00000000, pte values corresponding to data in physical page 0.

The pte mappings being zapped in this case were supposed to be from a huge
page of ext4 text (but could as well have been shmem): my belief is that
it was racing with collapse_file()'s retract_page_tables(), found *pmd
pointing to a page table, locked it, but *pmd had become 0 by the time
start_pte was decided.

In most cases, that possibility is excluded by holding mmap lock; but
exit_mmap() proceeds without mmap lock.  Most of what's run by khugepaged
checks khugepaged_test_exit() after acquiring mmap lock:
khugepaged_collapse_pte_mapped_thps() and hugepage_vma_revalidate() do so,
for example.  But retract_page_tables() did not: fix that.

The fix is for retract_page_tables() to check khugepaged_test_exit(),
after acquiring mmap lock, before doing anything to the page table.
Getting the mmap lock serializes with __mmput(), which briefly takes and
drops it in __khugepaged_exit(); then the khugepaged_test_exit() check on
mm_users makes sure we don't touch the page table once exit_mmap() might
reach it, since exit_mmap() will be proceeding without mmap lock, not
expecting anyone to be racing with it.

commit b4223a510e2ab1bf0f971d50af7c1431014b25ad upstream.

When check_memblock_offlined_cb() returns failed rc(e.g. the memblock is
online at that time), mem_hotplug_begin/done is unpaired in such case.

Therefore a warning:

<title>mm/page_counter.c: fix protection usage propagation</title>

commit a6f23d14ec7d7d02220ad8bb2774be3322b9aeec upstream.

When workload runs in cgroups that aren't directly below root cgroup and
their parent specifies reclaim protection, it may end up ineffective.

The reason is that propagate_protected_usage() is not called in all
hierarchy up.  All the protected usage is incorrectly accumulated in the
workload's parent.  This means that siblings_low_usage is overestimated
and effective protection underestimated.  Even though it is transitional
phenomenon (uncharge path does correct propagation and fixes the wrong
children_low_usage), it can undermine the intended protection
unexpectedly.

We have noticed this problem while seeing a swap out in a descendant of a
protected memcg (intermediate node) while the parent was conveniently
under its protection limit and the memory pressure was external to that
hierarchy.  Michal has pinpointed this down to the wrong
siblings_low_usage which led to the unwanted reclaim.

The fix is simply updating children_low_usage in respective ancestors also
in the charging path.

commit 119a5fc16105b2b9383a6e2a7800b2ef861b2975 upstream.

When retract_page_tables() removes a page table to make way for a huge
pmd, it holds huge page lock, i_mmap_lock_write, mmap_write_trylock and
pmd lock; but when collapse_pte_mapped_thp() does the same (to handle the
case when the original mmap_write_trylock had failed), only
mmap_write_trylock and pmd lock are held.

That's not enough.  One machine has twice crashed under load, with "BUG:
spinlock bad magic" and GPF on 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b.  Examining the second
crash, page_vma_mapped_walk_done()'s spin_unlock of pvmw-&gt;ptl (serving
page_referenced() on a file THP, that had found a page table at *pmd)
discovers that the page table page and its lock have already been freed by
the time it comes to unlock.

Follow the example of retract_page_tables(), but we only need one of huge
page lock or i_mmap_lock_write to secure against this: because it's the
narrower lock, and because it simplifies collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to know
the hpage earlier, choose to rely on huge page lock here.

commit 723a80dafed5c95889d48baab9aa433a6ffa0b4e upstream.

pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge
page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been
used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent.

Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I
then could not explain by this.  At first I thought this was very bad;
then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would
actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then
realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models
cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all -
particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed.

Much easier to fix than to think about.

commit 723a80dafed5c95889d48baab9aa433a6ffa0b4e upstream.

pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge
page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been
used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent.

Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I
then could not explain by this.  At first I thought this was very bad;
then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would
actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then
realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models
cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all -
particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed.

Much easier to fix than to think about.

commit 5c72feee3e45b40a3c96c7145ec422899d0e8964 upstream.

When handling a page fault, we drop mmap_sem to start async readahead so
that we don't block on IO submission with mmap_sem held.  However there's
no point to drop mmap_sem in case readahead is disabled.  Handle that case
to avoid pointless dropping of mmap_sem and retrying the fault.  This was
actually reported to block mlockall(MCL_CURRENT) indefinitely.

commit 594cced14ad3903166c8b091ff96adac7552f0b3 upstream.

khugepaged has to drop mmap lock several times while collapsing a page.
The situation can change while the lock is dropped and we need to
re-validate that the VMA is still in place and the PMD is still subject
for collapse.

But we miss one corner case: while collapsing an anonymous pages the VMA
could be replaced with file VMA.  If the file VMA doesn't have any
private pages we get NULL pointer dereference:

	general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
	KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

The fix is to make sure that the VMA is anonymous in
hugepage_vma_revalidate().  The helper is only used for collapsing
anonymous pages.

commit d38a2b7a9c939e6d7329ab92b96559ccebf7b135 upstream.

If the kmem_cache refcount is greater than one, we should not mark the
root kmem_cache as dying.  If we mark the root kmem_cache dying
incorrectly, the non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.  It
resulted in memory leak when memcg was destroyed.  We can use the
following steps to reproduce.

  1) Use kmem_cache_create() to create a new kmem_cache named A.
  2) Coincidentally, the kmem_cache A is an alias for kmem_cache B,
     so the refcount of B is just increased.
  3) Use kmem_cache_destroy() to destroy the kmem_cache A, just
     decrease the B's refcount but mark the B as dying.
  4) Create a new memory cgroup and alloc memory from the kmem_cache
     B. It leads to create a non-root kmem_cache for allocating memory.
  5) When destroy the memory cgroup created in the step 4), the
     non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.

If we repeat steps 4) and 5), this will cause a lot of memory leak.  So
only when refcount reach zero, we mark the root kmem_cache as dying.

commit d38a2b7a9c939e6d7329ab92b96559ccebf7b135 upstream.

If the kmem_cache refcount is greater than one, we should not mark the
root kmem_cache as dying.  If we mark the root kmem_cache dying
incorrectly, the non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.  It
resulted in memory leak when memcg was destroyed.  We can use the
following steps to reproduce.

  1) Use kmem_cache_create() to create a new kmem_cache named A.
  2) Coincidentally, the kmem_cache A is an alias for kmem_cache B,
     so the refcount of B is just increased.
  3) Use kmem_cache_destroy() to destroy the kmem_cache A, just
     decrease the B's refcount but mark the B as dying.
  4) Create a new memory cgroup and alloc memory from the kmem_cache
     B. It leads to create a non-root kmem_cache for allocating memory.
  5) When destroy the memory cgroup created in the step 4), the
     non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.

If we repeat steps 4) and 5), this will cause a lot of memory leak.  So
only when refcount reach zero, we mark the root kmem_cache as dying.

commit 8d22a9351035ef2ff12ef163a1091b8b8cf1e49c upstream.

It was hard to keep a test running, moving tasks between memcgs with
move_charge_at_immigrate, while swapping: mem_cgroup_id_get_many()'s
refcount is discovered to be 0 (supposedly impossible), so it is then
forced to REFCOUNT_SATURATED, and after thousands of warnings in quick
succession, the test is at last put out of misery by being OOM killed.

This is because of the way moved_swap accounting was saved up until the
task move gets completed in __mem_cgroup_clear_mc(), deferred from when
mem_cgroup_move_swap_account() actually exchanged old and new ids.
Concurrent activity can free up swap quicker than the task is scanned,
bringing id refcount down 0 (which should only be possible when
offlining).

Just skip that optimization: do that part of the accounting immediately.

Fixes: 615d66c37c75 ("mm: memcontrol: fix memcg id ref counter on swap charge move")
