mm/thp: fix vma_address() if virtual address below file offset

2021-06-16T16:24:42+00:00

Running certain tests with a DEBUG_VM kernel would crash within hours,
on the total_mapcount BUG() in split_huge_page_to_list(), while trying
to free up some memory by punching a hole in a shmem huge page: split's
try_to_unmap() was unable to find all the mappings of the page (which,
on a !DEBUG_VM kernel, would then keep the huge page pinned in memory).

When that BUG() was changed to a WARN(), it would later crash on the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA(end < vma->vm_start || start >= vma->vm_end, vma) in
mm/internal.h:vma_address(), used by rmap_walk_file() for
try_to_unmap().

vma_address() is usually correct, but there's a wraparound case when the
vm_start address is unusually low, but vm_pgoff not so low:
vma_address() chooses max(start, vma->vm_start), but that decides on the
wrong address, because start has become almost ULONG_MAX.

Rewrite vma_address() to be more careful about vm_pgoff; move the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA() out of it, returning -EFAULT for errors, so that it can
be safely used from page_mapped_in_vma() and page_address_in_vma() too.

Add vma_address_end() to apply similar care to end address calculation,
in page_vma_mapped_walk() and page_mkclean_one() and try_to_unmap_one();
though it raises a question of whether callers would do better to supply
pvmw->end to page_vma_mapped_walk() - I chose not, for a smaller patch.

An irritation is that their apparent generality breaks down on KSM
pages, which cannot be located by the page->index that page_to_pgoff()
uses: as commit 4b0ece6fa016 ("mm: migrate: fix remove_migration_pte()
for ksm pages") once discovered.  I dithered over the best thing to do
about that, and have ended up with a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageKsm) in both
vma_address() and vma_address_end(); though the only place in danger of
using it on them was try_to_unmap_one().

Sidenote: vma_address() and vma_address_end() now use compound_nr() on a
head page, instead of thp_size(): to make the right calculation on a
hugetlbfs page, whether or not THPs are configured.  try_to_unmap() is
used on hugetlbfs pages, but perhaps the wrong calculation never
mattered.

Revert "mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump."

2021-05-23T01:09:07+00:00

While reviewing [1] I came across commit d3378e86d182 ("mm/gup: check
page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken
in two ways.  First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being
dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time
after the check.  Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a
ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which
is not released.

It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were
follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address
the underlying problem [2]

Therefore revert the original patch.

mm,compaction: let isolate_migratepages_{range,block} return error codes

2021-05-05T18:27:22+00:00

Currently, isolate_migratepages_{range,block} and their callers use a pfn
== 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme to let the caller know whether there was any error
during isolation.

This does not work as soon as we need to start reporting different error
codes and make sure we pass them down the chain, so they are properly
interpreted by functions like e.g: alloc_contig_range.

Let us rework isolate_migratepages_{range,block} so we can report error
codes.  Since isolate_migratepages_block will stop returning the next pfn
to be scanned, we reuse the cc->migrate_pfn field to keep track of that.

mm/page_alloc: combine __alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask

2021-04-30T18:20:42+00:00

There are only two callers of __alloc_pages() so prune the thicket of
alloc_page variants by combining the two functions together.  Current
callers of __alloc_pages() simply add an extra 'NULL' parameter and
current callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() call __alloc_pages() instead.

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

2021-04-27T20:08:12+00:00

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
two parts:

(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.

This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
(whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
the helper takes care of the rest.

(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.

Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.

This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
old API.

This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
way invalidation is done at this time.

In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
to follow.

This patchset contains the following parts:

- Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.

- Patches to add the netfs helper library.

- A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.

- A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.

Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
that I will post a separate pull request for.

With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
passes the expected tests.

I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
route them separately"

mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.

2021-04-09T21:54:23+00:00

When we do coredump for user process signal, this may be an SIGBUS signal
with BUS_MCEERR_AR or BUS_MCEERR_AO code, which means this signal is
resulted from ECC memory fail like SRAR or SRAO, we expect the memory
recovery work is finished correctly, then the get_dump_page() will not
return the error page as its process pte is set invalid by
memory_failure().

But memory_failure() may fail, and the process's related pte may not be
correctly set invalid, for current code, we will return the poison page,
get it dumped, and then lead to system panic as its in kernel code.

So check the poison status in get_dump_page(), and if TRUE, return NULL.

There maybe other scenario that is also better to check the posion status
and not to panic, so make a wrapper for this check, Thanks to David's
suggestion().
