commit 6dca4ac6fc91fd41ea4d6c4511838d37f4e0eab2 upstream.

Commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()") moved
the call to swap_free() before the call to set_pte_at(), which meant that
the MTE tags could end up being freed before set_pte_at() had a chance to
restore them.  Fix it by adding a call to the arch_swap_restore() hook
before the call to swap_free().

commit 33313a747e81af9f31d0d45de78c9397fa3655eb upstream.

mmap_region adds a newly created VMA into VMA tree and might modify it
afterwards before dropping the mmap_lock.  This poses a problem for page
faults handled under per-VMA locks because they don't take the mmap_lock
and can stumble on this VMA while it's still being modified.  Currently
this does not pose a problem since post-addition modifications are done
only for file-backed VMAs, which are not handled under per-VMA lock.
However, once support for handling file-backed page faults with per-VMA
locks is added, this will become a race.

Fix this by write-locking the VMA before inserting it into the VMA tree.
Other places where a new VMA is added into VMA tree do not modify it
after the insertion, so do not need the same locking.

commit c137381f71aec755fbf47cd4e9bd4dce752c054c upstream.

With recent changes necessitating mmap_lock to be held for write while
expanding a stack, per-VMA locks should follow the same rules and be
write-locked to prevent page faults into the VMA being expanded. Add
the necessary locking.

<title>hugetlb: revert use of page_cache_next_miss()</title>

commit fd4aed8d985a3236d0877ff6d0c80ad39d4ce81a upstream.

Ackerley Tng reported an issue with hugetlbfs fallocate as noted in the
Closes tag.  The issue showed up after the conversion of hugetlb page
cache lookup code to use page_cache_next_miss.  User visible effects are:

- hugetlbfs fallocate incorrectly returns -EEXIST if pages are presnet
  in the file.
- hugetlb pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to be
  brought in via GUP.
- userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY will not notice pages already present in the
  cache.  It may try to allocate a new page and potentially return
  ENOMEM as opposed to EEXIST.

Revert the use page_cache_next_miss() in hugetlb code.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STABLE BACKPORTS:
This patch will apply cleanly to v6.3.  However, due to the change of
filemap_get_folio() return values, it will not function correctly.  This
patch must be modified for stable backports.

commit d85a143b69abb4d7544227e26d12c4c7735ab27d upstream.

It turns out that xtensa has a really odd configuration situation: you
can do a no-MMU config, but still have the page fault code enabled.
Which doesn't sound all that sensible, but it turns out that xtensa can
have protection faults even without the MMU, and we have this:

    config PFAULT
        bool "Handle protection faults" if EXPERT &amp;&amp; !MMU
        default y
        help
          Handle protection faults. MMU configurations must enable it.
          noMMU configurations may disable it if used memory map never
          generates protection faults or faults are always fatal.

          If unsure, say Y.

which completely violated my expectations of the page fault handling.

End result: Guenter reports that the xtensa no-MMU builds all fail with

  arch/xtensa/mm/fault.c: In function ‘do_page_fault’:
  arch/xtensa/mm/fault.c:133:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘lock_mm_and_find_vma’

because I never exposed the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() function for the
no-MMU case.

Doing so is simple enough, and fixes the problem.

commit e8c716bc6812202ccf4ce0f0bad3428b794fb39c upstream.

There is no xas_pause(&amp;xas) in collapse_file()'s main loop, at the points
where it does xas_unlock_irq(&amp;xas) and then continues.

That would explain why, once two weeks ago and twice yesterday, I have
hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page != xas_load(&amp;xas), page) since "mm/khugepaged:
fix iteration in collapse_file" removed the xas_set(&amp;xas, index) just
before it: xas.xa_node could be left pointing to a stale node, if there
was concurrent activity on the file which transformed its xarray.

I tried inserting xas_pause()s, but then even bootup crashed on that
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): there appears to be a subtle "nextness" implicit in
xas_pause().

xas_next() and xas_pause() are good for use in simple loops, but not in
this one: xas_set() worked well until now, so use xas_set(&amp;xas, index)
explicitly at the head of the loop; and change that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() not
to need its own xas_set(), and not to interfere with the xa_state (which
would probably stop the crashes from xas_pause(), but I trust that less).

The user-visible effects of this bug (if VM_BUG_ONs are configured out)
would be data loss and data leak - potentially - though in practice I
expect it is more likely that a subsequent check (e.g. on mapping or on
nr_none) would notice an inconsistency, and just abandon the collapse.

<title>gup: add warning if some caller would seem to want stack expansion</title>

commit a425ac5365f6cb3cc47bf83e6bff0213c10445f7 upstream.

It feels very unlikely that anybody would want to do a GUP in an
unmapped area under the stack pointer, but real users sometimes do some
really strange things.  So add a (temporary) warning for the case where
a GUP fails and expanding the stack might have made it work.

It's trivial to do the expansion in the caller as part of getting the mm
lock in the first place - see __access_remote_vm() for ptrace, for
example - it's just that it's unnecessarily painful to do it deep in the
guts of the GUP lookup when we might have to drop and re-take the lock.

I doubt anybody actually does anything quite this strange, but let's be
proactive: adding these warnings is simple, and will make debugging it
much easier if they trigger.

<title>mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held</title>

commit 8d7071af890768438c14db6172cc8f9f4d04e184 upstream.

This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when
extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument
from the vm helper functions again.

For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and
page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks.  Let's see if any
strange users really wanted that.

It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new
lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy
"expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock
and take it for writing while expanding the vma.  This makes it fairly
straightforward to convert the remaining architectures.

As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions
for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be
valid.  So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and
the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.
