commit b7e3debdd0408c0dca5d4750371afa5003f792dc upstream.

When working with very large nodes, poisoning the struct pages (for which
there will be very many) can take a very long time.  If the system is
using voluntary preemptions, the software watchdog will not be able to
detect forward progress.  This patch addresses this issue by offering to
give up time like __remove_pages() does.  This behavior was introduced in
v5.6 with: commit d33695b16a9f ("mm/memory_hotplug: poison memmap in
remove_pfn_range_from_zone()")

Alternately, init_page_poison could do this cond_resched(), but it seems
to me that the caller of init_page_poison() is what actually knows whether
or not it should relax its own priority.

Based on Dan's notes, I think this is perfectly safe: commit f931ab479dd2
("mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}")

Aside from fixing the lockup, it is also a friendlier thing to do on lower
core systems that might wipe out large chunks of hotplug memory (probably
not a very common case).

Fixes this kind of splat:

This happens when parent_usage == siblings_protected.

We check that usage is bigger than protected, which should imply
parent_usage being bigger than siblings_protected.  However, we don't
read (or even update) these values atomically, and they can be out of
sync as the memory state changes under us.  A bit of fluctuation around
the target protection isn't a big deal, but we need to handle the div0
case.

Check the parent state explicitly to make sure we have a reasonable
positive value for the divisor.

<title>mm/slab: use memzero_explicit() in kzfree()</title>

commit 8982ae527fbef170ef298650c15d55a9ccd33973 upstream.

The kzfree() function is normally used to clear some sensitive
information, like encryption keys, in the buffer before freeing it back to
the pool.  Memset() is currently used for buffer clearing.  However
unlikely, there is still a non-zero probability that the compiler may
choose to optimize away the memory clearing especially if LTO is being
used in the future.

To make sure that this optimization will never happen,
memzero_explicit(), which is introduced in v3.18, is now used in
kzfree() to future-proof it.

commit 8982ae527fbef170ef298650c15d55a9ccd33973 upstream.

The kzfree() function is normally used to clear some sensitive
information, like encryption keys, in the buffer before freeing it back to
the pool.  Memset() is currently used for buffer clearing.  However
unlikely, there is still a non-zero probability that the compiler may
choose to optimize away the memory clearing especially if LTO is being
used in the future.

To make sure that this optimization will never happen,
memzero_explicit(), which is introduced in v3.18, is now used in
kzfree() to future-proof it.

<title>mm, slab: fix sign conversion problem in memcg_uncharge_slab()</title>

commit d7670879c5c4aa443d518fb234a9e5f30931efa3 upstream.

It was found that running the LTP test on a PowerPC system could produce
erroneous values in /proc/meminfo, like:

  MemTotal:       531915072 kB
  MemFree:        507962176 kB
  MemAvailable:   1100020596352 kB

Using bisection, the problem is tracked down to commit 9c315e4d7d8c ("mm:
memcg/slab: cache page number in memcg_(un)charge_slab()").

In memcg_uncharge_slab() with a "int order" argument:

  unsigned int nr_pages = 1 &lt;&lt; order;
    :
  mod_lruvec_state(lruvec, cache_vmstat_idx(s), -nr_pages);

The mod_lruvec_state() function will eventually call the
__mod_zone_page_state() which accepts a long argument.  Depending on the
compiler and how inlining is done, "-nr_pages" may be treated as a
negative number or a very large positive number.  Apparently, it was
treated as a large positive number in that PowerPC system leading to
incorrect stat counts.  This problem hasn't been seen in x86-64 yet,
perhaps the gcc compiler there has some slight difference in behavior.

It is fixed by making nr_pages a signed value.  For consistency, a similar
change is applied to memcg_charge_slab() as well.

<title>mm, compaction: make capture control handling safe wrt interrupts</title>

commit b9e20f0da1f5c9c68689450a8cb436c9486434c8 upstream.

Hugh reports:

 "While stressing compaction, one run oopsed on NULL capc-&gt;cc in
  __free_one_page()'s task_capc(zone): compact_zone_order() had been
  interrupted, and a page was being freed in the return from interrupt.

  Though you would not expect it from the source, both gccs I was using
  (4.8.1 and 7.5.0) had chosen to compile compact_zone_order() with the
  ".cc = &amp;cc" implemented by mov %rbx,-0xb0(%rbp) immediately before
  callq compact_zone - long after the "current-&gt;capture_control =
  &amp;capc". An interrupt in between those finds capc-&gt;cc NULL (zeroed by
  an earlier rep stos).

  This could presumably be fixed by a barrier() before setting
  current-&gt;capture_control in compact_zone_order(); but would also need
  more care on return from compact_zone(), in order not to risk leaking
  a page captured by interrupt just before capture_control is reset.

  Maybe that is the preferable fix, but I felt safer for task_capc() to
  exclude the rather surprising possibility of capture at interrupt
  time"

I have checked that gcc10 also behaves the same.

The advantage of fix in compact_zone_order() is that we don't add
another test in the page freeing hot path, and that it might prevent
future problems if we stop exposing pointers to uninitialized structures
in current task.

So this patch implements the suggestion for compact_zone_order() with
barrier() (and WRITE_ONCE() to prevent store tearing) for setting
current-&gt;capture_control, and prevents page leaking with
WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE in the proper order.

Now that deferred pages are initialized with interrupts enabled we can
replace touch_nmi_watchdog() with cond_resched(), as it was before
3a2d7fa8a3d5.

For now, we cannot do the same in deferred_grow_zone() as it is still
initializes pages with interrupts disabled.

commit 117003c32771df617acf66e140fbdbdeb0ac71f5 upstream.

Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4.

Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to
make code more modular and allow jiffies to update.

Original approach, and discussion can be found here:
 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com

This patch (of 3):

deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls
touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats.  Soon it
will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be
used instead.

deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared
with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so
it can't call cond_resched().

Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be
changed later, independently of the second.  The frequency reduces from
twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block.

commit 3d060856adfc59afb9d029c233141334cfaba418 upstream.

Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled
for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems.

1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time
   is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here:
   lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing
   intra-node multi-threading.

We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem
that was never observed in real world (See 3a2d7fa8a3d5).

Let's keep interrupts enabled. In case we ever encounter a scenario where
an interrupt thread wants to allocate large amount of memory this early in
boot we can deal with that by growing zone (see deferred_grow_zone()) by
the needed amount before starting deferred_init_memmap() threads.

Before:
[    1.232459] node 0 initialised, 12058412 pages in 1ms

After:
[    1.632580] node 0 initialised, 12051227 pages in 436ms

<title>mm: thp: make the THP mapcount atomic against __split_huge_pmd_locked()</title>

commit c444eb564fb16645c172d550359cb3d75fe8a040 upstream.

Write protect anon page faults require an accurate mapcount to decide
if to break the COW or not. This is implemented in the THP path with
reuse_swap_page() -&gt;
page_trans_huge_map_swapcount()/page_trans_huge_mapcount().

If the COW triggers while the other processes sharing the page are
under a huge pmd split, to do an accurate reading, we must ensure the
mapcount isn't computed while it's being transferred from the head
page to the tail pages.

reuse_swap_cache() already runs serialized by the page lock, so it's
enough to add the page lock around __split_huge_pmd_locked too, in
order to add the missing serialization.

Note: the commit in "Fixes" is just to facilitate the backporting,
because the code before such commit didn't try to do an accurate THP
mapcount calculation and it instead used the page_count() to decide if
to COW or not. Both the page_count and the pin_count are THP-wide
refcounts, so they're inaccurate if used in
reuse_swap_page(). Reverting such commit (besides the unrelated fix to
the local anon_vma assignment) would have also opened the window for
memory corruption side effects to certain workloads as documented in
such commit header.
