Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following
warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6676 at mm/vmstat.c:986 __fragmentation_index+0x54/0x60
  [...]
  Call Trace:

the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already.  This
is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
by the following report

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/page_alloc.c:3117:19

<title>tmpfs: make lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEK_HOLE) return ENXIO with a negative offset</title>

Other filesystems such as ext4, f2fs and ubifs all return ENXIO when
lseek (SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE) requests a negative offset.

man 2 lseek says

:      EINVAL whence  is  not  valid.   Or: the resulting file offset would be
:             negative, or beyond the end of a seekable device.
:
:      ENXIO  whence is SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and the file offset is  beyond
:             the end of the file.

Make tmpfs return ENXIO under these circumstances as well.  After this,
tmpfs also passes xfstests's generic/448.

Scan through the whole array to see if an update is needed.  While we're
at it, use sizeof() to be safe against any possible type changes in the
future.

The bug here is that we wouldn't sync per-cpu counters into global ones
if there was an update of numa_stats for higher cpus.  Highly
theoretical one though because it is much more probable that zone_stats
are updated so we would refresh anyway.  So I wouldn't bother to mark
this for stable, yet something nice to fix.

<title>mm, memory_hotplug: check zone_movable in has_unmovable_pages</title>

<id>9d7899999c62c1a81129b76d2a6ecbc4655e1597</id>
<content type='text'>
Page state checks are racy.  Under a heavy memory workload (e.g.  stress
-m 200 -t 2h) it is quite easy to hit a race window when the page is
allocated but its state is not fully populated yet.  A debugging patch to
dump the struct page state shows

  has_unmovable_pages: pfn:0x10dfec00, found:0x1, count:0x0
  page:ffffea0437fb0000 count:1 mapcount:1 mapping:ffff880e05239841 index:0x7f26e5000 compound_mapcount: 1
  flags: 0x5fffffc0090034(uptodate|lru|active|head|swapbacked)

Note that the state has been checked for both PageLRU and PageSwapBacked
already.  Closing this race completely would require some sort of retry
logic.  This can be tricky and error prone (think of potential endless
or long taking loops).

Workaround this problem for movable zones at least.  Such a zone should
only contain movable pages.  Commit 15c30bc09085 ("mm, memory_hotplug:
make has_unmovable_pages more robust") has told us that this is not
strictly true though.  Bootmem pages should be marked reserved though so
we can move the original check after the PageReserved check.  Pages from
other zones are still prone to races but we even do not pretend that
memory hotremove works for those so pre-mature failure doesn't hurt that
much.

Page state checks are racy.  Under a heavy memory workload (e.g.  stress
-m 200 -t 2h) it is quite easy to hit a race window when the page is
allocated but its state is not fully populated yet.  A debugging patch to
dump the struct page state shows

  has_unmovable_pages: pfn:0x10dfec00, found:0x1, count:0x0
  page:ffffea0437fb0000 count:1 mapcount:1 mapping:ffff880e05239841 index:0x7f26e5000 compound_mapcount: 1
  flags: 0x5fffffc0090034(uptodate|lru|active|head|swapbacked)

Note that the state has been checked for both PageLRU and PageSwapBacked
already.  Closing this race completely would require some sort of retry
logic.  This can be tricky and error prone (think of potential endless
or long taking loops).

Workaround this problem for movable zones at least.  Such a zone should
only contain movable pages.  Commit 15c30bc09085 ("mm, memory_hotplug:
make has_unmovable_pages more robust") has told us that this is not
strictly true though.  Bootmem pages should be marked reserved though so
we can move the original check after the PageReserved check.  Pages from

Commit a2468cc9bfdf ("swap: choose swap device according to numa node")
changed 'avail_lists' field of 'struct swap_info_struct' to an array.
In popular linux distros it increased size of swap_info_struct up to 40
Kbytes and now swap_info_struct allocation requires order-4 page.
Switch to kvzmalloc allows to avoid unexpected allocation failures.

<title>hugetlbfs: fix kernel BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:444!</title>

<id>5e41540c8a0f0e98c337dda8b391e5dda0cde7cf</id>
<content type='text'>
This bug has been experienced several times by the Oracle DB team.  The
BUG is in remove_inode_hugepages() as follows:

	/*
	 * If page is mapped, it was faulted in after being
	 * unmapped in caller.  Unmap (again) now after taking
	 * the fault mutex.  The mutex will prevent faults
	 * until we finish removing the page.
	 *
	 * This race can only happen in the hole punch case.
	 * Getting here in a truncate operation is a bug.
	 */
	if (unlikely(page_mapped(page))) {
		BUG_ON(truncate_op);

In this case, the elevated map count is not the result of a race.
Rather it was incorrectly incremented as the result of a bug in the huge
pmd sharing code.  Consider the following:

 - Process A maps a hugetlbfs file of sufficient size and alignment
   (PUD_SIZE) that a pmd page could be shared.

 - Process B maps the same hugetlbfs file with the same size and
   alignment such that a pmd page is shared.

 - Process B then calls mprotect() to change protections for the mapping
   with the shared pmd. As a result, the pmd is 'unshared'.

 - Process B then calls mprotect() again to chage protections for the
   mapping back to their original value. pmd remains unshared.

 - Process B then forks and process C is created. During the fork
   process, we do dup_mm -&gt; dup_mmap -&gt; copy_page_range to copy page
   tables. Copying page tables for hugetlb mappings is done in the
   routine copy_hugetlb_page_range.

In copy_hugetlb_page_range(), the destination pte is obtained by:

	dst_pte = huge_pte_alloc(dst, addr, sz);

If pmd sharing is possible, the returned pointer will be to a pte in an
existing page table.  In the situation above, process C could share with
either process A or process B.  Since process A is first in the list,
the returned pte is a pointer to a pte in process A's page table.

However, the check for pmd sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range is:

	/* If the pagetables are shared don't copy or take references */
	if (dst_pte == src_pte)
		continue;

Since process C is sharing with process A instead of process B, the
above test fails.  The code in copy_hugetlb_page_range which follows
assumes dst_pte points to a huge_pte_none pte.  It copies the pte entry
from src_pte to dst_pte and increments this map count of the associated
page.  This is how we end up with an elevated map count.

To solve, check the dst_pte entry for huge_pte_none.  If !none, this
implies PMD sharing so do not copy.

Reclaim and free can race on an object which is basically fine but in
order for reclaim to be able to map "freed" object we need to encode
object length in the handle.  handle_to_chunks() is then introduced to
extract object length from a handle and use it during mapping.

Moreover, to avoid racing on a z3fold "headless" page release, we should
not try to free that page in z3fold_free() if the reclaim bit is set.
Also, in the unlikely case of trying to reclaim a page being freed, we
should not proceed with that page.

While at it, fix the page accounting in reclaim function.

This patch supersedes "[PATCH] z3fold: fix reclaim lock-ups".

It has been reported on an older (4.12) kernel but the current upstream
code doesn't cond_resched in the hot remove code at all and the given
range to remove might be really large.  Fix the issue by calling
cond_resched once per memory section.
