FOLL_FORCE is really only for ptrace access. According to commit 70794724 ("media: videobuf2-vmalloc: get_userptr: buffers are always writable"), get_vaddr_frames() currently pins all pages writable as a workaround for issues with read-only buffers. FOLL_FORCE, however, seems to be a legacy leftover as it predates commit 70794724 ("media: videobuf2-vmalloc: get_userptr: buffers are always writable"). Let's just remove it. Once the read-only buffer issue has been resolved, FOLL_WRITE could again be set depending on the DMA direction.

FOLL_FORCE is really only for ptrace access. R/O pinning a page is supposed to fail if the VMA misses proper access permissions (no VM_READ). Let's just remove FOLL_FORCE usage here; there would have to be a pretty good reason to allow arbitrary drivers to R/O pin pages in a PROT_NONE VMA. Most probably, FOLL_FORCE usage is just some legacy leftover.

GUP now supports reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings, such that we break COW early. MAP_SHARED VMAs only use the shared zeropage so far in one corner case (DAXFS file with holes), which can be ignored because GUP does not support long-term pinning in fsdax (see check_vma_flags()). commit cd5297b0 ("drm/etnaviv: Use FOLL_FORCE for userptr") documents that FOLL_FORCE | FOLL_WRITE was really only used for reliable R/O pinning. Consequently, FOLL_FORCE | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM is no longer required for reliable R/O long-term pinning: FOLL_LONGTERM is sufficient. So stop using FOLL_FORCE, which is really only for ptrace access.

We already support reliable R/O pinning of anonymous memory. However, assume we end up pinning (R/O long-term) a pagecache page or the shared zeropage inside a writable private ("COW") mapping. The next write access will trigger a write-fault and replace the pinned page by an exclusive anonymous page in the process page tables to break COW: the pinned page no longer corresponds to the page mapped into the process' page table. Now that FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE can break COW on anything mapped into a COW mapping, let's properly break COW first before R/O long-term pinning something that's not an exclusive anon page inside a COW mapping. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will break COW and map an exclusive anon page instead that can get pinned safely. With this change, we can stop using FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings. With this change, the new R/O long-term pinning tests for non-anonymous memory succeed: # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with shared zeropage ok 151 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd ok 152 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with tmpfile ok 153 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with huge zeropage ok 154 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB) ok 155 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB) ok 156 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with shared zeropage ok 157 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd ok 158 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with tmpfile ok 159 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with huge zeropage ok 160 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB) ok 161 Longterm R/O pin is reliable # [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB) ok 162 Longterm R/O pin is reliable Note 1: We don't care about short-term R/O-pinning, because they have snapshot semantics: they are not supposed to observe modifications that happen after pinning. As one example, assume we start direct I/O to read from a page and store page content into a file: modifications to page content after starting direct I/O are not guaranteed to end up in the file. So even if we'd pin the shared zeropage, the end result would be as expected -- getting zeroes stored to the file. Note 2: For shared mappings we'll now always fallback to the slow path to lookup the VMA when R/O long-term pining. While that's the necessary price we have to pay right now, it's actually not that bad in practice: most FOLL_LONGTERM users already specify FOLL_WRITE, for example, along with FOLL_FORCE because they tried dealing with COW mappings correctly ... Note 3: For users that use FOLL_LONGTERM right now without FOLL_WRITE, such as VFIO, we'd now no longer pin the shared zeropage. Instead, we'd populate exclusive anon pages that we can pin. There was a concern that this could affect the memlock limit of existing setups. For example, a VM running with VFIO could run into the memlock limit and fail to run. However, we essentially had the same behavior already in commit 17839856 ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue") which got merged into some enterprise distros, and there were not any such complaints. So most probably, we're fine.

Extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE to break COW on anything mapped into a COW (i.e., private writable) mapping and adjust the documentation accordingly. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will now also break COW when encountering the shared zeropage, a pagecache page, a PFNMAP, ... inside a COW mapping, by properly replacing the mapped page/pfn by a private copy (an exclusive anonymous page). Note that only do_wp_page() needs care: hugetlb_wp() already handles FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE correctly. wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud() also handles it correctly, for example, splitting the huge zeropage on FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE such that we can handle FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE on the PTE level. This change is a requirement for reliable long-term R/O pinning in COW mappings.

If we already have a PMD/PUD mapped write-protected in a private mapping and we want to break COW either due to FAULT_FLAG_WRITE or FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE, there is no need to inform the file system just like on the PTE path. Let's just split (->zap) + fallback in that case. This is a preparation for more generic FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE support in COW mappings.

Let's catch abuse of FAULT_FLAG_WRITE early, such that we don't have to care in all other handlers and might get "surprises" if we forget to do so. Write faults without VM_MAYWRITE don't make any sense, and our maybe_mkwrite() logic could have hidden such abuse for now. Write faults without VM_WRITE on something that is not a COW mapping is similarly broken, and e.g., do_wp_page() could end up placing an anonymous page into a shared mapping, which would be bad. This is a preparation for reliable R/O long-term pinning of pages in private mappings, whereby we want to make sure that we will never break COW in a read-only private mapping.

For now, FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE only applies to anonymous pages, which implies a COW mapping. Let's hide FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE early if we're not dealing with a COW mapping, such that we treat it like a read fault as documented and don't have to worry about the flag throughout all fault handlers. While at it, centralize the check for mutual exclusion of FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE and FAULT_FLAG_WRITE and just drop the check that either flag is set in the WP handler.

Let's test whether R/O long-term pinning is reliable for non-anonymous memory: when R/O long-term pinning a page, the expectation is that we break COW early before pinning, such that actual write access via the page tables won't break COW later and end up replacing the R/O-pinned page in the page table. Consequently, R/O long-term pinning in private mappings would only target exclusive anonymous pages.

Patch series "mm/gup: remove FOLL_FORCE usage from drivers (reliable R/O long-term pinning)". For now, we did not support reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings. That means, if we would trigger R/O long-term pinning in MAP_PRIVATE mapping, we could end up pinning the (R/O-mapped) shared zeropage or a pagecache page. The next write access would trigger a write fault and replace the pinned page by an exclusive anonymous page in the process page table; whatever the process would write to that private page copy would not be visible by the owner of the previous page pin: for example, RDMA could read stale data. The end result is essentially an unexpected and hard-to-debug memory corruption. Some drivers tried working around that limitation by using "FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE|FOLL_LONGTERM" for R/O long-term pinning for now. FOLL_WRITE would trigger a write fault, if required, and break COW before pinning the page. FOLL_FORCE is required because the VMA might lack write permissions, and drivers wanted to make that working as well, just like one would expect (no write access, but still triggering a write access to break COW). However, that is not a practical solution, because (1) Drivers that don't stick to that undocumented and debatable pattern would still run into that issue. For example, VFIO only uses FOLL_LONGTERM for R/O long-term pinning. (2) Using FOLL_WRITE just to work around a COW mapping + page pinning limitation is unintuitive. FOLL_WRITE would, for example, mark the page softdirty or trigger uffd-wp, even though, there actually isn't going to be any write access. (3) The purpose of FOLL_FORCE is debug access, not access without lack of VMA permissions by arbitrarty drivers. So instead, make R/O long-term pinning work as expected, by breaking COW in a COW mapping early, such that we can remove any FOLL_FORCE usage from drivers and make FOLL_FORCE ptrace-specific (renaming it to FOLL_PTRACE). More details in patch #8. This patch (of 19): Originally, the plan was to have a separate tests for testing COW of non-anonymous (e.g., shared zeropage) pages. Turns out, that we'd need a lot of similar functionality and that there isn't a really good reason to separate it. So let's prepare for non-anon tests by renaming to "cow".

Commit 6a108a14 ("kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT") introduces CONFIG_EXPERT to carry the previous intent of CONFIG_EMBEDDED and just gives that intent a much better name. That has been clearly a good and long overdue renaming, and it is clearly an improvement to the kernel build configuration that has shown to help managing the kernel build configuration in the last decade. However, rather than bravely and radically just deleting CONFIG_EMBEDDED, this commit gives CONFIG_EMBEDDED a new intended semantics, but keeps it open for future contributors to implement that intended semantics: A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Since then, this CONFIG_EMBEDDED implicitly had two purposes: - It can make even more options visible beyond what CONFIG_EXPERT makes visible. In other words, it may introduce another level of enabling the visibility of configuration options: always visible, visible with CONFIG_EXPERT and visible with CONFIG_EMBEDDED. - Set certain default values of some configurations differently, following the assumption that configuring a kernel build for an embedded system generally starts with a different set of default values compared to kernel builds for all other kind of systems. Considering the second purpose, note that already probably arguing that a kernel build for an embedded system would choose some values differently is already tricky: the set of embedded systems with Linux kernels is already quite diverse. Many embedded system have powerful CPUs and it would not be clear that all embedded systems just optimize towards one specific aspect, e.g., a smaller kernel image size. So, it is unclear if starting with "one set of default configuration" that is induced by CONFIG_EMBEDDED is a good offer for developers configuring their kernels. Also, the differences of needed user-space features in an embedded system compared to a non-embedded system are probably difficult or even impossible to name in some generic way. So it is not surprising that in the last decade hardly anyone has contributed changes to make something default differently in case of CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y. Currently, in v6.0-rc4, SECRETMEM is the only config switched off if CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y. As long as that is actually the only option that currently is selected or deselected, it is better to just make SECRETMEM configurable at build time by experts using menuconfig instead. Make SECRETMEM configurable when EXPERT is set and otherwise default to yes. Further, SECRETMEM needs ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP. This allows us to remove CONFIG_EMBEDDED in the close future.

This restriction was created because FOLL_LONGTERM used to scan the vma list, so it could not tolerate becoming unlocked. That was fixed in commit 52650c8b ("mm/gup: remove the vma allocation from gup_longterm_locked()") and the restriction on !vma was removed. However, the locked restriction remained, even though it isn't necessary anymore. Adjust __gup_longterm_locked() so it can handle the mmap_read_lock() becoming unlocked while it is looping for migration. Migration does not require the mmap_read_sem because it is only handling struct pages. If we had to unlock then ensure the whole thing returns unlocked. Remove __get_user_pages_remote() and __gup_longterm_unlocked(). These cases can now just directly call other functions.

When testing overflow and overread, there is no need to keep unnecessary compilation warnings, we should simply ignore them. The motivation for this patch is to eliminate the compilation warning, maybe one day we will compile the kernel with "-Werror -Wall", at which point this compilation warning will turn into a compilation error, we should fix this error in advance. How to reproduce the problem (with gcc-11.3.1): $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/ ... warning: `write' reading 4294967295 bytes from a region of size 1 [-Wstringop-overread] warning: `read' writing 4294967295 bytes into a region of size 25 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=] "-Wno-stringop-overread" is supported at least in gcc-11.1.0.

Currently, drop_caches are reclaiming node-by-node, looping on each node until reclaim could not make progress. This can however leave quite some slab entries (such as filesystem inodes) unreclaimed if objects say on node 1 keep objects on node 0 pinned. So move the "loop until no progress" loop to the node-by-node iteration to retry reclaim also on other nodes if reclaim on some nodes made progress. This fixes problem when drop_caches was not reclaiming lots of otherwise perfectly fine to reclaim inodes.

Since commit 9a10064f ("mm: add a field to store names for private anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as useful for tracking purposes. Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon. There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or directly via mmap(): 1. fd = memfd_create(...) mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...) 2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...) In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs. The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names. Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous shared memory (not private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are running in their own processes). However, the VM tells back to the VMM how parts of the memory are actually used by the guest, how each of the segments should be backed (i.e. 4K pages, 2M pages), and some other information about the segments. The naming allows us to monitor the effective memory footprint for each of these segments from the host without looking inside the guest. Sample output: /* Create shared anonymous segmenet */ anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); /* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */ rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME"); cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps): 7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME] If the segment is not named, the output is: 7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221115020602.804224-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.comSigned-off-by: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@gmail.com> Cc: Colin Cross <ccross@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Kirill A .

The common hugetlb unmap routine __unmap_hugepage_range performs mmu notification calls. However, in the case where __unmap_hugepage_range is called via __unmap_hugepage_range_final, mmu notification calls are performed earlier in other calling routines. Remove mmu notification calls from __unmap_hugepage_range. Add notification calls to the only other caller: unmap_hugepage_range. unmap_hugepage_range is called for truncation and hole punch, so change notification type from UNMAP to CLEAR as this is more appropriate.

Let's add one sanity check for CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on the write bit in whatever chance we have when walking through the pgtables. It can bring the error earlier even before the app notices the data was corrupted on the snapshot. Also it helps us to identify this is a wrong pgtable setup, so hopefully a great information to have for debugging too.

Recompression iterates through all the registered secondary compression algorithms in order of their priorities so that we have higher chances of finding the algorithm that compresses a particular page. This, however, may not always be best approach and sometimes we may want to limit recompression to only one particular algorithm. For instance, when a higher priority algorithm uses too much power and device has a relatively low battery level we may want to limit recompression to use only a lower priority algorithm, which uses less power. Introduce algo= parameter support to recompression sysfs knob so that user-sapce can request recompression with particular algorithm only: echo "type=idle algo=zstd" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221109115047.2921851-11-senozhatsky@chromium.orgSigned-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Alexey Romanov <avromanov@sberdevices.ru> Cc: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
