<title>memblock: introduce saner 'memblock_free_ptr()' interface</title>

<id>77e02cf57b6cff9919949defb7fd9b8ac16399a2</id>
<content type='text'>
The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.

Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/

or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/

I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.

I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.

So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer.  And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

<title>Merge branch 'gcc-min-version-5.1' (make gcc-5.1 the minimum version)</title>

Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc
version to 5.1.

This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want
to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before.

Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I
had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a
fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch
series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem.

The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but
honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on.
We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about
compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a
good thing.

I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that
we no longer support gcc-4.x.

As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade
we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and
finally start using local loop declarations etc.  But this series does
_not_ yet do that.

Servers happened below panic:

  Kernel version:5.4.56
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000002c48
  RIP: 0010:__next_zones_zonelist+0x1d/0x40
  Call Trace:
    __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x277/0x310
    alloc_page_interleave+0x13/0x70
    handle_mm_fault+0xf99/0x1390
    __do_page_fault+0x288/0x500
    do_page_fault+0x30/0x110
    page_fault+0x3e/0x50

The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third
parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid).  So access to
zonelist-&gt;zoneref-&gt;zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic.

In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol-&gt;v.nodes, after
this other threads may chang pol-&gt;v.nodes before next_node().  This race
condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES.  So put pol-&gt;nodes in
a local variable.

The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask:

  CPU0:                                     CPU1:
  alloc_pages_vma()
    interleave_nid(pol,)
      offset_il_node(pol,)
        first_node(pol-&gt;v.nodes)            cpuset_change_task_nodemask
                        //nodes==0xc          mpol_rebind_task
                                                mpol_rebind_policy

                        //nodes==0x3
        next_node(nid, pol-&gt;v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES

    page_fault+0x3e/0x50

The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third
parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid).  So access to
zonelist-&gt;zoneref-&gt;zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic.

In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol-&gt;v.nodes, after
this other threads may chang pol-&gt;v.nodes before next_node().  This race
condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES.  So put pol-&gt;nodes in
a local variable.

The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask:

  CPU0:                                     CPU1:
  alloc_pages_vma()
    interleave_nid(pol,)

                        //nodes==0x3
        next_node(nid, pol-&gt;v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES

In a memory pressure situation, I'm seeing the lockdep WARNING below.
Actually, this is similar to a known false positive which is already
addressed by commit 6dcde60efd94 ("xfs: more lockdep whackamole with
kmem_alloc*").

This warning still persists because it's not from kmalloc() itself but
from an allocation for kmemleak object.  While kmalloc() itself suppress
the warning with __GFP_NOLOCKDEP, gfp_kmemleak_mask() is dropping the
flag for the kmemleak's allocation.

Allow __GFP_NOLOCKDEP to be passed to kmemleak's allocation, so that the
warning for it is also suppressed.

If it's not prepared to free unref page, the pcp page migratetype is
unset.  Thus we will get rubbish from get_pcppage_migratetype() and
might list_del(&amp;page-&gt;lru) again after it's already deleted from the list
leading to grumble about data corruption.

Commit f56ce412a59d ("mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to
proportional memory.low reclaim") introduced a divide by zero corner
case when oomd is being used in combination with cgroup memory.low
protection.

When oomd decides to kill a cgroup, it will force the cgroup memory to
be reclaimed after killing the tasks, by writing to the memory.max file
for that cgroup, forcing the remaining page cache and reclaimable slab
to be reclaimed down to zero.

Previously, on cgroups with some memory.low protection that would result
in the memory being reclaimed down to the memory.low limit, or likely
not at all, having the page cache reclaimed asynchronously later.

With f56ce412a59d the oomd write to memory.max tries to reclaim all the
way down to zero, which may race with another reclaimer, to the point of
ending up with the divide by zero below.

This patch implements the obvious fix.

<title>mm/hmm: bypass devmap pte when all pfn requested flags are fulfilled</title>

Previously, we noticed the one rpma example was failed[1] since commit
36f30e486dce ("IB/core: Improve ODP to use hmm_range_fault()"), where it
will use ODP feature to do RDMA WRITE between fsdax files.

After digging into the code, we found hmm_vma_handle_pte() will still
return EFAULT even though all the its requesting flags has been
fulfilled.  That's because a DAX page will be marked as (_PAGE_SPECIAL |
PAGE_DEVMAP) by pte_mkdevmap().

Previously, we noticed the one rpma example was failed[1] since commit
36f30e486dce ("IB/core: Improve ODP to use hmm_range_fault()"), where it
will use ODP feature to do RDMA WRITE between fsdax files.

After digging into the code, we found hmm_vma_handle_pte() will still
return EFAULT even though all the its requesting flags has been
fulfilled.  That's because a DAX page will be marked as (_PAGE_SPECIAL |
PAGE_DEVMAP) by pte_mkdevmap().
