Fix four refcount bugs in afs_cache_permit(): (1) When checking the result of the kzalloc(), we can't just return, but must put 'permits'. (2) We shouldn't put permits immediately after hashing a new permit as we need to keep the pointer stable so that we can check to see if vnode->permit_cache has changed before we decide whether to assign to it. (3) 'permits' is being put twice. (4) We need to put either the replacement or the thing replaced after the assignment to vnode->permit_cache. Without this, lots of the following are seen: Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039857b [verbose debug info unavailable] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039858a [verbose debug info unavailable] ------------[ cut here ]------------ The addresses are in the .text..refcount section of the kafs.ko module. Following the relocation records for the __ex_table section shows one to be due to the decrement in afs_put_permits() and the other to be key_get() in afs_cache_permit(). Occasionally, the following is seen: refcount_t overflow at afs_cache_permit+0x57d/0x5c0 [kafs] in cc1[562], uid/euid: 0/0 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 562 at kernel/panic.c:657 refcount_error_report+0x9c/0xac ...

hugetlfs_fallocate() currently performs put_page() before unlock_page(). This scenario opens a small time window, from the time the page is added to the page cache, until it is unlocked, in which the page might be removed from the page-cache by another core. If the page is removed during this time windows, it might cause a memory corruption, as the wrong page will be unlocked. It is arguable whether this scenario can happen in a real system, and there are several mitigating factors. The issue was found by code inspection (actually grep), and not by actually triggering the flow. Yet, since putting the page before unlocking is incorrect it should be fixed, if only to prevent future breakage or someone copy-pasting this code. Mike said: "I am of the opinion that this does not need to be sent to stable. Although the ordering is current code is incorrect, there is no way for this to be a problem with current locking. In addition, I verified that the perhaps bigger issue with sys_fadvise64(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) for hugetlbfs and other filesystems is addressed in 3a77d214 ("mm: fadvise: avoid fadvise for fs without backing device")" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170826191124.51642-1-namit@vmware.com Fixes: 70c3547e ("hugetlbfs: add hugetlbfs_fallocate()") Signed-off-by: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

I made a mistake during converting hugetlb code to 5-level paging: in huge_pte_alloc() we have to use p4d_alloc(), not p4d_offset(). Otherwise it leads to crash -- NULL-pointer dereference in pud_alloc() if p4d table is not yet allocated. It only can happen in 5-level paging mode. In 4-level paging mode p4d_offset() always returns pgd, so we are fine.

Commit 42f46148 ("autofs: fix AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT not being honored") allowed the fstatat(2) system call to properly honor the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag but introduced a semantic change. In order to honor AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT a semantic change was made to the negative dentry case for stat family system calls in follow_automount(). This changed the unconditional triggering of an automount in this case to no longer be done and an error returned instead. This has caused more problems than I expected so reverting the change is needed. In a discussion with Neil Brown it was concluded that the automount(8) daemon can implement this change without kernel modifications. So that will be done instead and the autofs module documentation updated with a description of the problem and what needs to be done by module users for this specific case.

While commit 092a5345 ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk") helped (partially) resolve a problem where automounts were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space it has a side effect for very large environments. This change helps with the expire problem by making the expire more aggressive but, for very large environments, that means more mount requests from clients. When there are a lot of clients that can mean fairly significant server load increases. It turns out I put the last_used in this position to solve this very problem and failed to update my own thinking of the autofs expire policy. So the patch being reverted introduces a regression which should be fixed.

In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/20/411, Andrea reported that during memory hotplug/hot remove prep_transhuge_page() is called incorrectly on non-THP pages for migration, when THP is on but THP migration is not enabled. This leads to a bad state of target pages for migration. By inspecting the code, if called on a non-THP, prep_transhuge_page() will 1) change the value of the mapping of (page + 2), since it is used for THP deferred list; 2) change the lru value of (page + 1), since it is used for THP's dtor. Both can lead to data corruption of these two pages. Andrea said: "Pragmatically and from the point of view of the memory_hotplug subsys, the effect is a kernel crash when pages are being migrated during a memory hot remove offline and migration target pages are found in a bad state" This patch fixes it by only calling prep_transhuge_page() when we are certain that the target page is THP.

MADVISE_WILLNEED has always been a noop for DAX (formerly XIP) mappings. Unfortunately madvise_willneed() doesn't communicate this information properly to the generic madvise syscall implementation. The calling convention is quite subtle there. madvise_vma() is supposed to either return an error or update &prev otherwise the main loop will never advance to the next vma and it will keep looping for ever without a way to get out of the kernel. It seems this has been broken since introduction. Nobody has noticed because nobody seems to be using MADVISE_WILLNEED on these DAX mappings.

V4L2 memory registrations are incompatible with filesystem-dax that needs the ability to revoke dma access to a mapping at will, or otherwise allow the kernel to wait for completion of DMA. The filesystem-dax implementation breaks the traditional solution of truncate of active file backed mappings since there is no page-cache page we can orphan to sustain ongoing DMA. If v4l2 wants to support long lived DMA mappings it needs to arrange to hold a file lease or use some other mechanism so that the kernel can coordinate revoking DMA access when the filesystem needs to truncate mappings.

Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2. Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to keep an elevated page count indefinitely. This is distinct from usages like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient. The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation completes (under kernel control). In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page reference at some undefined point in the future. This is untenable for filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait for pages in a mapping to become idle. Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for a later patch series. Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references. I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings were supported by the kernel. The behavior regression this policy change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting a filesystem in dax mode. It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same constraints since it does not support file space management operations like hole-punch. This patch (of 4): Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against filesytem-dax vmas. Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are explicitly allowed. This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease" mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and V4L2).

Patch series "device-dax: fix unaligned munmap handling" When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like hugetlbfs and fail attempts to split vmas into unaligned ranges. It would be messy to teach the munmap path about device-dax alignment constraints in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this constraint. Instead, these patches introduce a new ->split() vm operation. This patch (of 2): The device-dax interface has similar constraints as hugetlbfs in that it requires the munmap path to unmap in huge page aligned units. Rather than add more custom vma handling code in __split_vma() introduce a new vm operation to perform this vma specific check.

In response to compile breakage introduced by a series that added the pud_write helper to x86, Stephen notes: did you consider using the other paradigm: In arch include files: #define pud_write pud_write static inline int pud_write(pud_t pud) ..... Then in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h: #ifndef pud_write tatic inline int pud_write(pud_t pud) { .... } #endif If you had, then the powerpc code would have worked ... ;-) and many of the other interfaces in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h are protected that way ... Given that some architecture already define pmd_write() as a macro, it's a net reduction to drop the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE.

Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud entry is writable.

Later patches will align all checks to use the 'access_permitted' helper if the architecture provides it.

If the call __alloc_contig_migrate_range() in alloc_contig_range returns -EBUSY, processing continues so that test_pages_isolated() is called where there is a tracepoint to identify the busy pages. However, it is possible for busy pages to become available between the calls to these two routines. In this case, the range of pages may be allocated. Unfortunately, the original return code (ret == -EBUSY) is still set and returned to the caller. Therefore, the caller believes the pages were not allocated and they are leaked. Update the comment to indicate that allocation is still possible even if __alloc_contig_migrate_range returns -EBUSY. Also, clear return code in this case so that it is not accidentally used or returned to caller.

tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm, 0, -1) means gathering the whole virtual memory space. In this case, tlb->fullmm is true. Some archs like arm64 doesn't flush TLB when tlb->fullmm is true: commit 5a7862e8 ("arm64: tlbflush: avoid flushing when fullmm == 1"). Which causes leaking of tlb entries. Will clarifies his patch: "Basically, we tag each address space with an ASID (PCID on x86) which is resident in the TLB. This means we can elide TLB invalidation when pulling down a full mm because we won't ever assign that ASID to another mm without doing TLB invalidation elsewhere (which actually just nukes the whole TLB). I think that means that we could potentially not fault on a kernel uaccess, because we could hit in the TLB" There could be a window between complete_signal() sending IPI to other cores and all threads sharing this mm are really kicked off from cores. In this window, the oom reaper may calls tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() to flush TLB then frees pages. However, due to the above problem, the TLB entries are not really flushed on arm64. Other threads are possible to access these pages through TLB entries. Moreover, a copy_to_user() can also write to these pages without generating page fault, causes use-after-free bugs. This patch gathers each vma instead of gathering full vm space. In this case tlb->fullmm is not true. The behavior of oom reaper become similar to munmapping before do_exit, which should be safe for all archs.

drain_all_pages backs off when called from a kworker context since commit 0ccce3b9 ("mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context") because the original IPI based pcp draining has been replaced by a WQ based one and the check wanted to prevent from recursion and inter workers dependencies. This has made some sense at the time because the system WQ has been used and one worker holding the lock could be blocked while waiting for new workers to emerge which can be a problem under OOM conditions. Since then commit ce612879 ("mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq") has moved draining to a dedicated (mm_percpu_wq) WQ with a rescuer so we shouldn't depend on any other WQ activity to make a forward progress so calling drain_all_pages from a worker context is safe as long as this doesn't happen from mm_percpu_wq itself which is not the case because all workers are required to _not_ depend on any MM locks. Why is this a problem in the first place? ACPI driven memory hot-remove (acpi_device_hotplug) is executed from the worker context. We end up calling __offline_pages to free all the pages and that requires both lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked and drain_all_pages to do their job otherwise we can have dangling pages on pcp lists and fail the offline operation (__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock would see a page with 0 ref count but without PageBuddy set). Fix the issue by removing the worker check in drain_all_pages. lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked doesn't have this restriction so it works as expected.
