      mm/mempolicy: fix use after free when calling get_mempolicy · 73223e4e

      I hit a use after free issue when executing trinity and repoduced it
      with KASAN enabled.  The related call trace is as follows.

      mm, mempolicy: don't check cpuset seqlock where it doesn't matter · e0dd7d53
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking
      task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced
      with a cpuset update.
      
      This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's
      which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back
      to the wrappers to detect the race at that level.
      
      Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we
      can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent
      further wrong impression that it can actually help.

      mm, mempolicy: simplify rebinding mempolicies when updating cpusets · 213980c0
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Commit c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
      changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when
      rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a
      parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing.
      
      Later, commit cc9a6c87 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory
      barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed
      the synchronization point between the two update steps.  At that point
      (or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary.
      
      Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in
      step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2.  Without memory barriers the
      effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel
      zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all
      nodes as unusable for allocation.  We now fully rely on the seqlock to
      prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures.
      
      We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

      mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocator · 04ec6264
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist
      pointer as one of its parameters.  All of its callers directly or
      indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred
      node id and gfp_mask.  We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the
      zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node
      id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter).
      
      There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined
      node_zonelist():
      
        bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952)
      
      This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets
      to zonelists.

      mm, mempolicy: stop adjusting current->il_next in mpol_rebind_nodemask() · 45816682
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's
      MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy.  mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and
      bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems.  Currently it also tries
      to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask.
      This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's
      mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma
      mempolicy, not task one.
      
      The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the
      value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't
      manifested as an actual issue.
      
      We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to
      il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation
      instead of the next id.  Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next
      id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when
      querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

      mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node · 599d0c95
      Mel Gorman authored
      This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
      as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
      
      Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
      necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
      logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
      logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
      active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
      per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
      lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
      
      Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
      that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
      per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
      when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
      later but is easier to review.
      
      In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
      the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
      
      1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
      
         When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
         list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
         highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
         keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
         arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
         could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
      
         That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
         highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
      
      2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
      
         This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
         memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

      mm, page_alloc: avoid looking up the first zone in a zonelist twice · c33d6c06

      The allocator fast path looks up the first usable zone in a zonelist and

      mm/gup: Switch all callers of get_user_pages() to not pass tsk/mm · d4edcf0d
      Dave Hansen authored
      
      We will soon modify the vanilla get_user_pages() so it can no
      longer be used on mm/tasks other than 'current/current->mm',
      which is by far the most common way it is called.  For now,
      we allow the old-style calls, but warn when they are used.
      (implemented in previous patch)
      
      This patch switches all callers of:
      
      	get_user_pages()
      	get_user_pages_unlocked()
      	get_user_pages_locked()
      
      to stop passing tsk/mm so they will no longer see the warnings.

      mempolicy: do not try to queue pages from !vma_migratable() · 77bf45e7
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      
      Maybe I miss some point, but I don't see a reason why we try to queue
      pages from non migratable VMAs.
      
      This testcase steps on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page():
      
          #include <fcntl.h>
          #include <unistd.h>
          #include <stdio.h>
          #include <sys/mman.h>
          #include <numaif.h>
      
          #define SIZE 0x2000
      
          int foo;
      
          int main()
          {
              int fd;
              char *p;
              unsigned long mask = 2;
      
              fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR);
              p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
              /* Faultin pages */
              foo = p[0] + p[0x1000];
              mbind(p, SIZE, MPOL_BIND, &mask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_STRICT);
              return 0;
          }
      
      The only case when we can queue pages from such VMA is MPOL_MF_STRICT
      plus MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL for VMA which has pages on LRU,
      but gfp mask is not sutable for migaration (see mapping_gfp_mask() check
      in vma_migratable()).  That's looks like a bug to me.
      
      Let's filter out non-migratable vma at start of queue_pages_test_walk()
      and go to queue_pages_pte_range() only if MPOL_MF_MOVE or
      MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flag is set.
