mm: memory-failure: fix unexpected return value in soft_offline_page()

2023-08-21T20:07:22+00:00

When page_handle_poison() fails to handle the hugepage or free page in
retry path, soft_offline_page() will return 0 while -EBUSY is expected in
this case.

Consequently the user will think soft_offline_page succeeds while it in
fact failed.  So the user will not try again later in this case.

mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk

2023-08-21T20:07:20+00:00

walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. 
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas.  Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.

The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks.  With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them.  The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.

A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration.  Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

mm: memory-failure: avoid false hwpoison page mapped error info

2023-08-04T20:03:41+00:00

folio->_mapcount is overloaded in SLAB, so folio_mapped() has to be done
after folio_test_slab() is checked. Otherwise slab folio might be treated
as a mapped folio leading to false 'Someone maps the hwpoison page' error
info.

mm: memory-failure: fix potential unexpected return value from unpoison_memory()

2023-08-04T20:03:41+00:00

If unpoison_memory() fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag, return value ret
is expected to be -EBUSY.  But when get_hwpoison_page() returns 1 and
fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag due to races, return value will be
unexpected 1 leading to users being confused.  And there's a code smell
that the variable "ret" is used not only to save the return value of
unpoison_memory(), but also the return value from get_hwpoison_page(). 
Make a further cleanup by using another auto-variable solely to save the
return value of get_hwpoison_page() as suggested by Naoya.

mm/memory-failure: fix hardware poison check in unpoison_memory()

2023-07-27T20:07:05+00:00

It was pointed out[1] that using folio_test_hwpoison() is wrong as we need
to check the indiviual page that has poison.  folio_test_hwpoison() only
checks the head page so go back to using PageHWPoison().

User-visible effects include existing hwpoison-inject tests possibly
failing as unpoisoning a single subpage could lead to unpoisoning an
entire folio.  Memory unpoisoning could also not work as expected as
the function will break early due to only checking the head page and
not the actually poisoned subpage.

mm: ptep_get() conversion

2023-06-19T23:19:25+00:00

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.

mm/various: give up if pte_offset_map[_lock]() fails

2023-06-19T23:19:15+00:00

Following the examples of nearby code, various functions can just give up
if pte_offset_map() or pte_offset_map_lock() fails.  And there's no need
for a preliminary pmd_trans_unstable() or other such check, since such
cases are now safely handled inside.

mm: ksm: support hwpoison for ksm page

2023-04-18T23:53:52+00:00

hwpoison_user_mappings() is updated to support ksm pages, and add
collect_procs_ksm() to collect processes when the error hit an ksm page. 
The difference from collect_procs_anon() is that it also needs to traverse
the rmap-item list on the stable node of the ksm page.  At the same time,
add_to_kill_ksm() is added to handle ksm pages.  And
task_in_to_kill_list() is added to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to the
to_kill list.  This is because when scanning the list, if the pages that
make up the ksm page all come from the same process, they may be added
repeatedly.
