 "The accumulated fixes from this and last week:

   - Fix vmalloc TLB flush and map range calculations which lead to
     stale TLBs, spurious faults and other hard to diagnose issues.

   - Use fault_in_pages_writable() for prefaulting the user stack in the
     FPU code as it's less fragile than the current solution

   - Use the PF_KTHREAD flag when checking for a kernel thread instead
     of current-&gt;mm as the latter can give the wrong answer due to
     use_mm()

   - Compute the vmemmap size correctly for KASLR and 5-Level paging.
     Otherwise this can end up with a way too small vmemmap area.

   - Make KASAN and 5-level paging work again by making sure that all
     invalid bits are masked out when computing the P4D offset. This
     worked before but got broken recently when the LDT remap area was
     moved.

   - Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in the resource control code
     which can be triggered with certain mount options when the
     requested resource is not available.

   - Enforce ordering of microcode loading vs. perf initialization on
     secondary CPUs. Otherwise perf tries to access a non-existing MSR
     as the boot CPU marked it as available.

   - Don't stop the resource control group walk early otherwise the
     control bitmaps are not updated correctly and become inconsistent.

   - Unbreak kgdb by returning 0 on success from
     kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() instead of an error code.

   - Add more Icelake CPU model defines so depending changes can be
     queued in other trees"

Logan noticed that devm_memremap_pages_release() kills the percpu_ref
drops all the page references that were acquired at init and then
immediately proceeds to unplug, arch_remove_memory(), the backing pages
for the pagemap.  If for some reason device shutdown actually collides
with a busy / elevated-ref-count page then arch_remove_memory() should
be deferred until after that reference is dropped.

As it stands the "wait for last page ref drop" happens *after*
devm_memremap_pages_release() returns, which is obviously too late and
can lead to crashes.

Fix this situation by assigning the responsibility to wait for the
percpu_ref to go idle to devm_memremap_pages() with a new -&gt;cleanup()
callback.  Implement the new cleanup callback for all
devm_memremap_pages() users: pmem, devdax, hmm, and p2pdma.

There was the below bug report from Wu Fangsuo.

On the CMA allocation path, isolate_migratepages_range() could isolate
unevictable LRU pages and reclaim_clean_page_from_list() can try to
reclaim them if they are clean file-backed pages.

Wu found it's due to commit ad6b67041a45 ("mm: remove SWAP_MLOCK in

can't reach the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE line.

To fix the issue, this patch filters out unevictable LRU pages from the
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list in CMA.

<title>coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping</title>

<id>59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74</id>
<content type='text'>
When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.

If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
through that mm_count reference.

khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
khugepaged kernel thread.

collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
call pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.

The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().

So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.

This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

On a 64-bit machine the value of "vma-&gt;vm_end - vma-&gt;vm_start" may be
negative when using 32 bit ints and the "count &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT"'s result
will be wrong.  So change the local variable and return value to
unsigned long to fix the problem.

<title>mm: mmu_gather: remove __tlb_reset_range() for force flush</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=7a30df49f63ad92318ddf1f7498d1129a77dd4bd'/>
<id>7a30df49f63ad92318ddf1f7498d1129a77dd4bd</id>
<content type='text'>
A few new fields were added to mmu_gather to make TLB flush smarter for
huge page by telling what level of page table is changed.

__tlb_reset_range() is used to reset all these page table state to
unchanged, which is called by TLB flush for parallel mapping changes for
the same range under non-exclusive lock (i.e.  read mmap_sem).

Before commit dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in
munmap"), the syscalls (e.g.  MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_FREE) which may update
PTEs in parallel don't remove page tables.  But, the forementioned
commit may do munmap() under read mmap_sem and free page tables.  This
may result in program hang on aarch64 reported by Jan Stancek.  The
problem could be reproduced by his test program with slightly modified
below.

---8&lt;---

static int map_size = 4096;
static int num_iter = 500;
static long threads_total;

static void *distant_area;

void *map_write_unmap(void *ptr)
{
	int *fd = ptr;
	unsigned char *map_address;
	int i, j = 0;

	for (i = 0; i &lt; num_iter; i++) {
		map_address = mmap(distant_area, (size_t) map_size, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ,
			MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
		if (map_address == MAP_FAILED) {
			perror("mmap");
			exit(1);
		}

		for (j = 0; j &lt; map_size; j++)
			map_address[j] = 'b';

		if (munmap(map_address, map_size) == -1) {
			perror("munmap");
			exit(1);
		}
	}

	return NULL;
}

void *dummy(void *ptr)
{
	return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
	pthread_t thid[2];

	/* hint for mmap in map_write_unmap() */
	distant_area = mmap(0, DISTANT_MMAP_SIZE, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ,
			MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
	munmap(distant_area, (size_t)DISTANT_MMAP_SIZE);
	distant_area += DISTANT_MMAP_SIZE / 2;

	while (1) {
		pthread_create(&amp;thid[0], NULL, map_write_unmap, NULL);
		pthread_create(&amp;thid[1], NULL, dummy, NULL);

		pthread_join(thid[0], NULL);
		pthread_join(thid[1], NULL);
	}
}
---8&lt;---

The program may bring in parallel execution like below:

        t1                                        t2
munmap(map_address)
  downgrade_write(&amp;mm-&gt;mmap_sem);
  unmap_region()
  tlb_gather_mmu()
    inc_tlb_flush_pending(tlb-&gt;mm);
  free_pgtables()
    tlb-&gt;freed_tables = 1
    tlb-&gt;cleared_pmds = 1

                                        pthread_exit()
                                        madvise(thread_stack, 8M, MADV_DONTNEED)
                                          zap_page_range()
                                            tlb_gather_mmu()
                                              inc_tlb_flush_pending(tlb-&gt;mm);

  tlb_finish_mmu()
    if (mm_tlb_flush_nested(tlb-&gt;mm))
      __tlb_reset_range()

__tlb_reset_range() would reset freed_tables and cleared_* bits, but this
may cause inconsistency for munmap() which do free page tables.  Then it
may result in some architectures, e.g.  aarch64, may not flush TLB
completely as expected to have stale TLB entries remained.

Use fullmm flush since it yields much better performance on aarch64 and
non-fullmm doesn't yields significant difference on x86.

The original proposed fix came from Jan Stancek who mainly debugged this
issue, I just wrapped up everything together.

Jan's testing results:

If mlockall() is called with only MCL_ONFAULT as flag, it removes any
previously applied lockings and does nothing else.

This behavior is counter-intuitive and doesn't match the Linux man page.

  For mlockall():

  EINVAL Unknown flags were specified or MCL_ONFAULT was specified
  without either MCL_FUTURE or MCL_CURRENT.

Consequently, return the error EINVAL, if only MCL_ONFAULT is passed.
That way, applications will at least detect that they are calling
mlockall() incorrectly.

<title>mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events</title>

The kernel test robot noticed a 26% will-it-scale pagefault regression
from commit 42a300353577 ("mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics
correctness &amp; scalabilty").  This appears to be caused by bouncing the
additional cachelines from the new hierarchical statistics counters.

We can fix this by getting rid of the batched local counters instead.

Originally, there were *only* group-local counters, and they were fully
maintained per cpu.  A reader of a stats file high up in the cgroup tree
would have to walk the entire subtree and collect each level's per-cpu
counters to get the recursive view.  This was prohibitively expensive,
and so we switched to per-cpu batched updates of the local counters
during a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"), reducing the complexity from nr_subgroups *
nr_cpus to nr_subgroups.

With growing machines and cgroup trees, the tree walk itself became too
expensive for monitoring top-level groups, and this is when the culprit
patch added hierarchy counters on each cgroup level.  When the per-cpu
batch size would be reached, both the local and the hierarchy counters
would get batch-updated from the per-cpu delta simultaneously.

This makes local and hierarchical counter reads blazingly fast, but it
unfortunately makes the write-side too cache line intense.

Since local counter reads were never a problem - we only centralized
them to accelerate the hierarchy walk - and use of the local counters
are becoming rarer due to replacement with hierarchical views (ongoing
rework in the page reclaim and workingset code), we can make those local
counters unbatched per-cpu counters again.

The scheme will then be as such:

   when a memcg statistic changes, the writer will:
   - update the local counter (per-cpu)
   - update the batch counter (per-cpu). If the batch is full:
   - spill the batch into the group's atomic_t
   - spill the batch into all ancestors' atomic_ts
   - empty out the batch counter (per-cpu)

   when a local memcg counter is read, the reader will:
   - collect the local counter from all cpus

   when a hiearchy memcg counter is read, the reader will:
   - read the atomic_t

We might be able to simplify this further and make the recursive
counters unbatched per-cpu counters as well (batch upward propagation,
but leave per-cpu collection to the readers), but that will require a
more in-depth analysis and testing of all the callsites.  Deal with the
immediate regression for now.
