      mm, slub: fix mismatch between reconstructed freelist depth and cnt · 899447f6
      Miaohe Lin authored 
      If object's reuse is delayed, it will be excluded from the reconstructed
freelist.  But we forgot to adjust the cnt accordingly.  So there will
be a mismatch between reconstructed freelist depth and cnt.  This will
lead to free_debug_processing() complaining about freelist count or a
incorrect slub inuse count.

      mm, slub: fix two bugs in slab_debug_trace_open() · 2127d225
      Miaohe Lin authored 
      Patch series "Fixups for slub".

This series contains various bug fixes for slub.  We fix memoryleak,
use-afer-free, NULL pointer dereferencing and so on in slub.  More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.

This patch (of 5):

It's possible that __seq_open_private() will return NULL.  So we should
check it before using lest dereferencing NULL pointer.  And in error
paths, we forgot to release private buffer via seq_release_private().
Memory will leak in these paths.

      mm/mempolicy: do not allow illegal MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING | MPOL_LOCAL in mbind() · 6d2aec9e
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      syzbot reported access to unitialized memory in mbind() [1]

Issue came with commit bda420b9 ("numa balancing: migrate on fault

This commit added a new bit in MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, but only checked valid
combination (MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can only be used with MPOL_BIND) in
do_set_mempolicy()

This patch moves the check in sanitize_mpol_flags() so that it is also
used by mbind()

      ocfs2: mount fails with buffer overflow in strlen · b15fa922
      Valentin Vidic authored 
      Starting with kernel 5.11 built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE mouting an
ocfs2 filesystem with either o2cb or pcmk cluster stack fails with the
trace below.  Problem seems to be that strings for cluster stack and
cluster name are not guaranteed to be null terminated in the disk
representation, while strlcpy assumes that the source string is always
null terminated.  This causes a read outside of the source string
triggering the buffer overflow detection.

      ocfs2: fix data corruption after conversion from inline format · 5314454e
      Jan Kara authored 
      Commit 6dbf7bb5 ("fs: Don't invalidate page buffers in
block_write_full_page()") uncovered a latent bug in ocfs2 conversion
from inline inode format to a normal inode format.

The code in ocfs2_convert_inline_data_to_extents() attempts to zero out
the whole cluster allocated for file data by grabbing, zeroing, and
dirtying all pages covering this cluster.  However these pages are
beyond i_size, thus writeback code generally ignores these dirty pages
and no blocks were ever actually zeroed on the disk.

This oversight was fixed by commit 693c241a ("ocfs2: No need to zero
pages past i_size.") for standard ocfs2 write path, inline conversion
path was apparently forgotten; the commit log also has a reasoning why
the zeroing actually is not needed.

After commit 6dbf7bb5, things became worse as writeback code stopped
invalidating buffers on pages beyond i_size and thus these pages end up
with clean PageDirty bit but with buffers attached to these pages being
still dirty.  So when a file is converted from inline format, then
writeback triggers, and then the file is grown so that these pages
become valid, the invalid dirtiness state is preserved,
mark_buffer_dirty() does nothing on these pages (buffers are already
dirty) but page is never written back because it is clean.  So data
written to these pages is lost once pages are reclaimed.

Simple reproducer for the problem is:

  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 2000" -c "pwrite 2000 2000" -c "fsync" \
    -c "pwrite 4000 2000" ocfs2_file

After unmounting and mounting the fs again, you can observe that end of
'ocfs2_file' has lost its contents.

Fix the problem by not doing the pointless zeroing during conversion
from inline format similarly as in the standard write path.

      mm/migrate: fix CPUHP state to update node demotion order · a6a0251c
      Huang Ying authored 
      The node demotion order needs to be updated during CPU hotplug.  Because
whether a NUMA node has CPU may influence the demotion order.  The
update function should be called during CPU online/offline after the
node_states[N_CPU] has been updated.  That is done in
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN during CPU online and in CPUHP_MM_VMSTAT_DEAD during
CPU offline.  But in commit 884a6e5d ("mm/migrate: update node
demotion order on hotplug events"), the function to update node demotion
order is called in CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN during CPU online/offline.  This
doesn't satisfy the order requirement.

For example, there are 4 CPUs (P0, P1, P2, P3) in 2 sockets (P0, P1 in S0
and P2, P3 in S1), the demotion order is

 - S0 -> NUMA_NO_NODE
 - S1 -> NUMA_NO_NODE

After P2 and P3 is offlined, because S1 has no CPU now, the demotion
order should have been changed to

 - S0 -> S1
 - S1 -> NO_NODE

but it isn't changed, because the order updating callback for CPU
hotplug doesn't see the new nodemask.  After that, if P1 is offlined,
the demotion order is changed to the expected order as above.

So in this patch, we added CPUHP_AP_MM_DEMOTION_ONLINE and
CPUHP_MM_DEMOTION_DEAD to be called after CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN and
CPUHP_MM_VMSTAT_DEAD during CPU online and offline, and register the
update function on them.

      mm/migrate: add CPU hotplug to demotion #ifdef · 76af6a05
      Dave Hansen authored 
      Once upon a time, the node demotion updates were driven solely by memory
hotplug events.  But now, there are handlers for both CPU and memory
hotplug.

However, the #ifdef around the code checks only memory hotplug.  A
system that has HOTPLUG_CPU=y but MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n would miss CPU
hotplug events.

Update the #ifdef around the common code.  Add memory and CPU-specific
#ifdefs for their handlers.  These memory/CPU #ifdefs avoid unused
function warnings when their Kconfig option is off.

      mm/migrate: optimize hotplug-time demotion order updates · 295be91f
      Dave Hansen authored 
      Patch series "mm/migrate: 5.15 fixes for automatic demotion", v2.

This contains two fixes for the "automatic demotion" code which was
merged into 5.15:

 * Fix memory hotplug performance regression by watching
   suppressing any real action on irrelevant hotplug events.

 * Ensure CPU hotplug handler is registered when memory hotplug
   is disabled.

This patch (of 2):

== tl;dr ==

Automatic demotion opted for a simple, lazy approach to handling hotplug
events.  This noticeably slows down memory hotplug[1].  Optimize away
updates to the demotion order when memory hotplug events should have no
effect.

This has no effect on CPU hotplug.  There is no known problem on the CPU
side and any work there will be in a separate series.

== Background ==

Automatic demotion is a memory migration strategy to ensure that new
allocations have room in faster memory tiers on tiered memory systems.
The kernel maintains an array (node_demotion[]) to drive these
migrations.

The node_demotion[] path is calculated by starting at nodes with CPUs
and then "walking" to nodes with memory.  Only hotplug events which
online or offline a node with memory (N_ONLINE) or CPUs (N_CPU) will
actually affect the migration order.

== Problem ==

However, the current code is lazy.  It completely regenerates the
migration order on *any* CPU or memory hotplug event.  The logic was
that these events are extremely rare and that the overhead from
indiscriminate order regeneration is minimal.

Part of the update logic involves a synchronize_rcu(), which is a pretty
big hammer.  Its overhead was large enough to be detected by some 0day
tests that watch memory hotplug performance[1].

== Solution ==

Add a new helper (node_demotion_topo_changed()) which can differentiate
between superfluous and impactful hotplug events.  Skip the expensive
update operation for superfluous events.

== Aside: Locking ==

It took me a few moments to declare the locking to be safe enough for
node_demotion_topo_changed() to work.  It all hinges on the memory
hotplug lock:

During memory hotplug events, 'mem_hotplug_lock' is held for write.
This ensures that two memory hotplug events can not be called
simultaneously.

CPU hotplug has a similar lock (cpuhp_state_mutex) which also provides
mutual exclusion between CPU hotplug events.  In addition, the demotion
code acquire and hold the mem_hotplug_lock for read during its CPU
hotplug handlers.  This provides mutual exclusion between the demotion
memory hotplug callbacks and the CPU hotplug callbacks.

This effectively allows treating the migration target generation code to
act as if it is single-threaded.

      A race is possible when a process exits, its VMAs are removed by
exit_mmap() and at the same time userfaultfd_writeprotect() is called.

The race was detected by KASAN on a development kernel, but it appears
to be possible on vanilla kernels as well.

Use mmget_not_zero() to prevent the race as done in other userfaultfd

It can be easily reproduced when global thp enabled, which is the
default for RHEL.

It's also known as a side effect of commit 0db282ba ("selftest: use
mmap instead of posix_memalign to allocate memory", 2021-07-23), which
is imho right itself on using mmap() to make sure the addresses will be
untagged even on arm.

The problem is, for each test we allocate buffers using two
allocate_area() calls.  We assumed these two buffers won't affect each
other, however they could, because mmap() could have found that the two
buffers are near each other and having the same VMA flags, so they got
merged into one VMA.

It won't be a big problem if thp is not enabled, but when thp is
agressively enabled it means when initializing the src buffer it could
accidentally setup part of the dest buffer too when there's a shared THP
that overlaps the two regions.  Then some of the dest buffer won't be
able to be trapped by userfaultfd missing mode, then it'll cause memory
corruption as described.

To fix it, do release_pages() after initializing the src buffer.

Since the previous two release_pages() calls are after
uffd_test_ctx_clear() which will unmap all the buffers anyway (which is
stronger than release pages; as unmap() also tear town pgtables), drop
them as they shouldn't really be anything useful.

We can mark the Fixes tag upon 0db282ba as it's reported to only
happen there, however the real "Fixes" IMHO should be 8ba6e864, as
before that commit we'll always do explicit release_pages() before
registration of uffd, and 8ba6e864 changed that logic by adding
extra unmap/map and we didn't release the pages at the right place.
Meanwhile I don't have a solid glue anyway on whether posix_memalign()
could always avoid triggering this bug, hence it's safer to attach this
fix to commit 8ba6e864.
