__apply_to_page_range() is also used to change and/or allocate
page-table pages in the vmalloc area of the address space.  Make sure
these changes get synchronized to other page-tables in the system by
calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings() when necessary.

The impact appears limited to x86-32, where apply_to_page_range may miss
updating the PMD.  That leads to explosions in drivers like

Merge emailed patches from Peter Xu:
 "This is a small series that I picked up from Linus's suggestion to
  simplify cow handling (and also make it more strict) by checking
  against page refcounts rather than mapcounts.

  This makes uffd-wp work again (verified by running upmapsort)"

Note: this is horrendously bad timing, and making this kind of
fundamental vm change after -rc3 is not at all how things should work.
The saving grace is that it really is a a nice simplification:

 8 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 120 deletions(-)

The reason for the bad timing is that it turns out that commit
17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around 'COW can break either way'
issue" broke not just UFFD functionality (as Peter noticed), but Mikulas
Patocka also reports that it caused issues for strace when running in a
DAX environment with ext4 on a persistent memory setup.

And we can't just revert that commit without re-introducing the original
issue that is a potential security hole, so making COW stricter (and in
the process much simpler) is a step to then undoing the forced COW that
broke other uses.

How about we just make sure we're the only possible valid user fo the
page before we bother to reuse it?

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

And get rid of the nasty serialization on the page lock at the same time.

<title>mm/memory.c: skip spurious TLB flush for retried page fault</title>

<id>b7333b58f358f38d90d78e00c1ee5dec82df10ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently we found regression when running will_it_scale/page_fault3 test
on ARM64.  Over 70% down for the multi processes cases and over 20% down
for the multi threads cases.  It turns out the regression is caused by
commit 89b15332af7c ("mm: drop mmap_sem before calling
balance_dirty_pages() in write fault").

The test mmaps a memory size file then write to the mapping, this would
make all memory dirty and trigger dirty pages throttle, that upstream
commit would release mmap_sem then retry the page fault.  The retried
page fault would see correct PTEs installed then just fall through to
spurious TLB flush.  The regression is caused by the excessive spurious
TLB flush.  It is fine on x86 since x86's spurious TLB flush is no-op.

We could just skip the spurious TLB flush to mitigate the regression.

<pre>
Recently we found regression when running will_it_scale/page_fault3 test
on ARM64.  Over 70% down for the multi processes cases and over 20% down
for the multi threads cases.  It turns out the regression is caused by
commit 89b15332af7c ("mm: drop mmap_sem before calling
balance_dirty_pages() in write fault").

The test mmaps a memory size file then write to the mapping, this would
make all memory dirty and trigger dirty pages throttle, that upstream
commit would release mmap_sem then retry the page fault.  The retried
page fault would see correct PTEs installed then just fall through to
spurious TLB flush.  The regression is caused by the excessive spurious
TLB flush.  It is fine on x86 since x86's spurious TLB flush is no-op.

We could just skip the spurious TLB flush to mitigate the regression.

by having WRITE_ONCE() for the writes and READ_ONCE() for the reads
except those isolated reads where they compare against zero which a data
race would cause no harm. Thus, annotate them as intentional data races
using the data_race() macro.

For si.flags, the readers are only interested in a single bit where a
data race there would cause no issue there.

<title>dma-debug: remove debug_dma_assert_idle() function</title>

<content type='text'>
This remoes the code from the COW path to call debug_dma_assert_idle(),
which was added many years ago.

Google shows that it hasn't caught anything in the 6+ years we've had it
apart from a false positive, and Hugh just noticed how it had a very
unfortunate spinlock serialization in the COW path.

He fixed that issue the previous commit (a85ffd59bd36: "dma-debug: fix
debug_dma_assert_idle(), use rcu_read_lock()"), but let's see if anybody
even notices when we remove this function entirely.

NOTE! We keep the dma tracking infrastructure that was added by the
commit that introduced it.  Partly to make it easier to resurrect this
debug code if we ever deside to, and partly because that tracking by pfn
and offset looks quite reasonable.

The problem with this debug code was simply that it was expensive and
didn't seem worth it, not that it was wrong per se.
