Pass a folio instead of the head page to save a few instructions.  Update

Indirect calls are expensive, thanks to Spectre.  Call free_huge_page()
directly if the folio belongs to hugetlb.

<title>mm/hwpoison: check if a raw page in a hugetlb folio is raw HWPOISON</title>

<content type='text'>
Add the functionality, is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage, to tell if a raw
page in a hugetlb folio is HWPOISON.  This functionality relies on
RawHwpUnreliable to be not set; otherwise hugepage's raw HWPOISON list
becomes meaningless.

is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage holds mf_mutex in order to synchronize
with folio_set_hugetlb_hwpoison and folio_free_raw_hwp who iterate,
insert, or delete entry in raw_hwp_list.  llist itself doesn't ensure
insertion and removal are synchornized with the llist_for_each_entry used
by is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage (unless iterated entries are already
deleted from the list).  Caller can minimize the overhead of lock cycles
by first checking HWPOISON flag of the folio.

Exports this functionality to be immediately used in the read operation
for hugetlbfs.

<title>mm: ptep_get() conversion</title>

<id>c33c794828f21217f72ce6fc140e0d34e0d56bff</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

<title>mm/gup: remove vmas array from internal GUP functions</title>
<updated>2023-06-09T23:25:26+00:00</updated>

<id>b2cac248191b7466c5819e0da617b0705a26e197</id>
<content type='text'>
Now we have eliminated all callers to GUP APIs which use the vmas
parameter, eliminate it altogether.

This eliminates a class of bugs where vmas might have been kept around
longer than the mmap_lock and thus we need not be concerned about locks
being dropped during this operation leaving behind dangling pointers.

This simplifies the GUP API and makes it considerably clearer as to its
purpose - follow flags are applied and if pinning, an array of pages is
returned.
