Pinned pages shouldn't be write-protected when fork() happens, because
follow up copy-on-write on these pages could cause the pinned pages to
be replaced by random newly allocated pages.

For huge PMDs, we split the huge pmd if pinning is detected.  So that
future handling will be done by the PTE level (with our latest changes,
each of the small pages will be copied).  We can achieve this by let
copy_huge_pmd() return -EAGAIN for pinned pages, so that we'll
fallthrough in copy_pmd_range() and finally land the next
copy_pte_range() call.

Huge PUDs will be even more special - so far it does not support
anonymous pages.  But it can actually be done the same as the huge PMDs
even if the split huge PUDs means to erase the PUD entries.  It'll
guarantee the follow up fault ins will remap the same pages in either
parent/child later.

This might not be the most efficient way, but it should be easy and
clean enough.  It should be fine, since we're tackling with a very rare
case just to make sure userspaces that pinned some thps will still work
even without MADV_DONTFORK and after they fork()ed.

<title>mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes</title>

<id>70e806e4e645019102d0e09d4933654fb5fb58ce</id>
<content type='text'>
This allows copy_pte_range() to do early cow if the pages were pinned on
the source mm.

Currently we don't have an accurate way to know whether a page is pinned
or not.  The only thing we have is page_maybe_dma_pinned().  However
that's good enough for now.  Especially, with the newly added
mm-&gt;has_pinned flag to make sure we won't affect processes that never
pinned any pages.

It would be easier if we can do GFP_KERNEL allocation within
copy_one_pte().  Unluckily, we can't because we're with the page table
locks held for both the parent and child processes.  So the page
allocation needs to be done outside copy_one_pte().

Some trick is there in copy_present_pte(), majorly the wrprotect trick
to block concurrent fast-gup.  Comments in the function should explain
better in place.

Oleg Nesterov reported a (probably harmless) bug during review that we
didn't reset entry.val properly in copy_pte_range() so that potentially
there's chance to call add_swap_count_continuation() multiple times on
the same swp entry.  However that should be harmless since even if it
happens, the same function (add_swap_count_continuation()) will return
directly noticing that there're enough space for the swp counter.  So
instead of a standalone stable patch, it is touched up in this patch
directly.

(Commit message majorly collected from Jason Gunthorpe)

Reduce the chance of false positive from page_maybe_dma_pinned() by
keeping track if the mm_struct has ever been used with pin_user_pages().
This allows cases that might drive up the page ref_count to avoid any
penalty from handling dma_pinned pages.

Future work is planned, to provide a more sophisticated solution, likely
to turn it into a real counter.  For now, make it atomic_t but use it as
a boolean for simplicity.

<title>mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations</title>

<id>f85086f95fa36194eb0db5cd5c12e56801b98523</id>
<content type='text'>
In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state's value is checked to
detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug
operation.  Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong
because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state.  In
addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system
state by the ACPI [1].  So checking against the system state is not
enough.

The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this:

 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and
hot-unplug operations are done.  At the next reboot the node's memory
ranges can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is
made in topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING
state, the node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to
multiple nodes:

  $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node*
  total 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -&gt; ../../node/node1
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -&gt; ../../node/node2

In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses
memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs
inconsistency is detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON():

This patch addresses the root cause by not relying on the system_state
value to detect whether the call is due to a hot-plug operation.  An
extra parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the
operation is due to a hot-plug operation.

[1] According to Oscar Salvador, using this qemu command line, ACPI
memory hotplug operations are raised at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state:

  $QEMU -enable-kvm -machine pc -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -cpu host -monitor pty \

In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state's value is checked to
detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug
operation.  Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong
because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state.  In
addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system
state by the ACPI [1].  So checking against the system state is not
enough.

The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this:

 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and
hot-unplug operations are done.  At the next reboot the node's memory
ranges can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is
made in topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING
state, the node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to
multiple nodes:

  $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node*
  total 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -&gt; ../../node/node1
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -&gt; ../../node/node2

In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses
memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs
inconsistency is detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON():

Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3.

Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:

 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in
sysfs:

  $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21
  total 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -&gt; ../../node/node1
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -&gt; ../../node/node2

  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones

The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both
the node1 and node2's directory.

This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run.  However when
later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged,
the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a
BUG_ON() is raised:

    system_call_common+0xf0/0x27c

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered,
the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block
is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.

There are two issues here:

 (a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these
     multiple links

 (b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
     panic.

To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the
system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot
plug operation or not.  This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this
series.

Issue (b) will be addressed separately.

This patch (of 2):

The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is
due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.

Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as
meminit_context.

There is no functional change introduced by this patch

Currently to make sure that every page table entry is read just once
gup_fast walks perform READ_ONCE and pass pXd value down to the next
gup_pXd_range function by value e.g.:

  static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
                           unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr)
  ...
          pudp = pud_offset(&amp;p4d, addr);

This function passes a reference on that local value copy to pXd_offset,
and might get the very same pointer in return.  This happens when the
level is folded (on most arches), and that pointer should not be
iterated.

On s390 due to the fact that each task might have different 5,4 or
3-level address translation and hence different levels folded the logic
is more complex and non-iteratable pointer to a local copy leads to
severe problems.

Here is an example of what happens with gup_fast on s390, for a task
with 3-level paging, crossing a 2 GB pud boundary:

  // addr = 0x1007ffff000, end = 0x10080001000
  static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
                           unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr)
  {
        unsigned long next;
        pud_t *pudp;

        // pud_offset returns &amp;p4d itself (a pointer to a value on stack)
        pudp = pud_offset(&amp;p4d, addr);
        do {
                // on second iteratation reading "random" stack value
                pud_t pud = READ_ONCE(*pudp);

                // next = 0x10080000000, due to PUD_SIZE/MASK != PGDIR_SIZE/MASK on s390
                next = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
                ...
        } while (pudp++, addr = next, addr != end); // pudp++ iterating over stack

        return 1;
  }

This happens since s390 moved to common gup code with commit
d1874a0c2805 ("s390/mm: make the pxd_offset functions more robust") and
commit 1a42010cdc26 ("s390/mm: convert to the generic
get_user_pages_fast code").

s390 tried to mimic static level folding by changing pXd_offset
primitives to always calculate top level page table offset in pgd_offset
and just return the value passed when pXd_offset has to act as folded.

What is crucial for gup_fast and what has been overlooked is that
PxD_SIZE/MASK and thus pXd_addr_end should also change correspondingly.
And the latter is not possible with dynamic folding.

To fix the issue in addition to pXd values pass original pXdp pointers
down to gup_pXd_range functions.  And introduce pXd_offset_lockless
helpers, which take an additional pXd entry value parameter.  This has
already been discussed in
