Patch series "mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages", v6. This activates tracking of FOLL_PIN pages. This is in support of fixing the get_user_pages()+DMA problem described in [1]-[4]. FOLL_PIN support is now in the main linux tree. However, the patch to use FOLL_PIN to track pages was *not* submitted, because Leon saw an RDMA test suite failure that involved (I think) page refcount overflows when huge pages were used. This patch definitively solves that kind of overflow problem, by adding an exact pincount, for compound pages (of order > 1), in the 3rd struct page of a compound page. If available, that form of pincounting is used, instead of the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach. Thanks again to Jan Kara for that idea. Other interesting changes: * dump_page(): added one, or two new things to report for compound pages: head refcount (for all compound pages), and map_pincount (for compound pages of order > 1). * Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst: removed the "TODO" for the huge page refcount upper limit problems, and added notes about how it works now. Also added a note about the dump_page() enhancements. * Added some comments in gup.c and mm.h, to explain that there are two ways to count pinned pages: exact (for compound pages of order > 1) and fuzzy (GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS: for all other pages). ============================================================ General notes about the tracking patch: This is a prerequisite to solving the problem of proper interactions between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1], [2], [3], [4] and in a remarkable number of email threads since about 2017. :) In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be incrementally applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have been simply calling get_user_pages() ("gup"). In other words, opt-in by changing from this: get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET) put_page() to this: pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN) unpin_user_page() ============================================================ Future steps: * Convert more subsystems from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages(). The first probably needs to be bio/biovecs, because any filesystem testing is too difficult without those in place. * Change VFS and filesystems to respond appropriately when encountering dma-pinned pages. * Work with Ira and others to connect this all up with file system leases. [1] Some slow progress on get_user_pages() (Apr 2, 2019): https://lwn.net/Articles/784574/ [2] DMA and get_user_pages() (LPC: Dec 12, 2018): https://lwn.net/Articles/774411/ [3] The trouble with get_user_pages() (Apr 30, 2018): https://lwn.net/Articles/753027/ [4] LWN kernel index: get_user_pages() https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Memory_management-get_user_pages This patch (of 12): An upcoming patch requires reusing the implementation of get_user_pages_remote(). Split up get_user_pages_remote() into an outer routine that checks flags, and an implementation routine that will be reused. This makes subsequent changes much easier to understand. There should be no change in behavior due to this patch. Signed-off-by:John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by:

This isn't just a random struct page, it's known to be a head page, and calling it head makes the function better self-documenting. The pgoff_t is less confusing if it's named index instead of offset. Also add a couple of comments to explain why we're doing various things. Signed-off-by:

Mount failure issue happens under the scenario: Application forked dozens of threads to mount the same number of cramfs images separately in docker, but several mounts failed with high probability. Mount failed due to the checking result of the page(read from the superblock of loop dev) is not uptodate after wait_on_page_locked(page) returned in function cramfs_read: wait_on_page_locked(page); if (!PageUptodate(page)) { ... } The reason of the checking result of the page not uptodate: systemd-udevd read the loopX dev before mount, because the status of loopX is Lo_unbound at this time, so loop_make_request directly trigger the calling of io_end handler end_buffer_async_read, which called SetPageError(page). So It caused the page can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read: if(page_uptodate && !PageError(page)) { SetPageUptodate(page); } Then mount operation is performed, it used the same page which is just accessed by systemd-udevd above, Because this page is not uptodate, it will launch a actual read via submit_bh, then wait on this page by calling wait_on_page_locked(page). When the I/O of the page done, io_end handler end_buffer_async_read is called, because no one cleared the page error(during the whole read path of mount), which is caused by systemd-udevd reading, so this page is still in "PageError" status, which can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read, then caused mount failure. But sometimes mount succeed even through systemd-udeved read loopX dev just before, The reason is systemd-udevd launched other loopX read just between step 3.1 and 3.2, the steps as below: 1, loopX dev default status is Lo_unbound; 2, systemd-udved read loopX dev (page is set to PageError); 3, mount operation 1) set loopX status to Lo_bound; ==>systemd-udevd read loopX dev<== 2) read loopX dev(page has no error) 3) mount succeed As the loopX dev status is set to Lo_bound after step 3.1, so the other loopX dev read by systemd-udevd will go through the whole I/O stack, part of the call trace as below: SYS_read vfs_read do_sync_read blkdev_aio_read generic_file_aio_read do_generic_file_read: ClearPageError(page); mapping->a_ops->readpage(filp, page); here, mapping->a_ops->readpage() is blkdev_readpage. In latest kernel, some function name changed, the call trace as below: blkdev_read_iter generic_file_read_iter generic_file_buffered_read: /* * A previous I/O error may have been due to temporary * failures, eg. mutipath errors. * Pg_error will be set again if readpage fails. */ ClearPageError(page); /* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page*/ error=mapping->a_ops->readpage(flip, page); We can see ClearPageError(page) is called before the actual read, then the read in step 3.2 succeed. This patch is to add the calling of ClearPageError just before the actual read of read path of cramfs mount. Without the patch, the call trace as below when performing cramfs mount: do_mount cramfs_read cramfs_blkdev_read read_cache_page do_read_cache_page: filler(data, page); or mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page); With the patch, the call trace as below when performing mount: do_mount cramfs_read cramfs_blkdev_read read_cache_page: do_read_cache_page: ClearPageError(page); <== new add filler(data, page); or mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page); With the patch, mount operation trigger the calling of ClearPageError(page) before the actual read, the page has no error if no additional page error happen when I/O done.

There used to be a 'retry' label in between the two (identical) checks when first introduced in commit f446daae ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging"), and later modified/updated in commit 6e6938b6 ("writeback: introduce .tagged_writepages for the WB_SYNC_NONE sync stage"). The label has been removed in commit 64081362 ("mm/page-writeback.c: fix range_cyclic writeback vs writepages deadlock"), and the (identical) checks are now present / performed immediately one after another. So, remove/deduplicate the latter check, moving tag_pages_for_writeback() into the former check before the 'tag' variable assignment, so it's clear that it's not used in this (similarly-named) function call but only later in pagevec_lookup_range_tag().

When handling a page fault, we drop mmap_sem to start async readahead so that we don't block on IO submission with mmap_sem held. However there's no point to drop mmap_sem in case readahead is disabled. Handle that case to avoid pointless dropping of mmap_sem and retrying the fault. This was actually reported to block mlockall(MCL_CURRENT) indefinitely. Fixes: 6b4c9f44 ("filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations") Reported-by:

Kmemleak could scan task stacks while plain writes happens to those stack variables which could results in data races. For example, in sys_rt_sigaction and do_sigaction(), it could have plain writes in a 32-byte size. Since the kmemleak does not care about the actual values of a non-pointer and all do_sigaction() call sites only copy to stack variables, just disable KCSAN for kmemleak to avoid annotating anything outside Kmemleak just because Kmemleak scans everything.

This reverts commit ad2c8144. The function node_to_mem_node() was introduced by that commit for use in SLUB on systems with memoryless nodes, but it turned out to be unreliable on some architectures/configurations and a simpler solution exists than fixing it up. Thus commit 0715e6c5 ("mm, slub: prevent kmalloc_node crashes and memory leaks") removed the only user of node_to_mem_node() and we can revert the commit that introduced the function. Signed-off-by:

In a recent discussion[1] with Vitaly Nikolenko and Silvio Cesare, it became clear that moving the freelist pointer away from the edge of allocations would likely improve the overall defensive posture of the inline freelist pointer. My benchmarks show no meaningful change to performance (they seem to show it being faster), so this looks like a reasonable change to make. Instead of having the freelist pointer at the very beginning of an allocation (offset 0) or at the very end of an allocation (effectively offset -sizeof(void *) from the next allocation), move it away from the edges of the allocation and into the middle. This provides some protection against small-sized neighboring overflows (or underflows), for which the freelist pointer is commonly the target. (Large or well controlled overwrites are much more likely to attack live object contents, instead of attempting freelist corruption.) The vaunted kernel build benchmark, across 5 runs. Before: Mean: 250.05 Std Dev: 1.85 and after, which appears mysteriously faster: Mean: 247.13 Std Dev: 0.76 Attempts at running "sysbench --test=memory" show the change to be well in the noise (sysbench seems to be pretty unstable here -- it's not really measuring allocation). Hackbench is more allocation-heavy, and while the std dev is above the difference, it looks like may manifest as an improvement as well: 20 runs of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000", before: Mean: 36.322 Std Dev: 0.577 and after: Mean: 36.056 Std Dev: 0.598 [1] https://twitter.com/vnik5287/status/1235113523098685440Signed-off-by:

Under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y, the obfuscation was relatively weak in that the ptr and ptr address were usually so close that the first XOR would result in an almost entirely 0-byte value[1], leaving most of the "secret" number ultimately being stored after the third XOR. A single blind memory content exposure of the freelist was generally sufficient to learn the secret. Add a swab() call to mix bits a little more. This is a cheap way (1 cycle) to make attacks need more than a single exposure to learn the secret (or to know _where_ the exposure is in memory). kmalloc-32 freelist walk, before: ptr ptr_addr stored value secret ffff90c22e019020@ffff90c22e019000 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e019040@ffff90c22e019020 is 86528eb656b3b5fd (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e019060@ffff90c22e019040 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e019080@ffff90c22e019060 is 86528eb656b3b57d (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e0190a0@ffff90c22e019080 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d) ... after: ptr ptr_addr stored value secret ffff9eed6e019020@ffff9eed6e019000 is 793d1135d52cda42 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e019040@ffff9eed6e019020 is 593d1135d52cda22 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e019060@ffff9eed6e019040 is 393d1135d52cda02 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e019080@ffff9eed6e019060 is 193d1135d52cdae2 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e0190a0@ffff9eed6e019080 is f93d1135d52cdac2 (86528eb656b3b59d) [1] https://blog.infosectcbr.com.au/2020/03/weaknesses-in-linux-kernel-heap.html Fixes: 2482ddec ("mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation") Reported-by:

Under some conditions, the directory cannot be deleted. The specific scenarios are as follows: (for example, /mnt/ocfs2 is the mount point) 1. Create the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory. At this time, the i_nlink corresponding to the inode of the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory is equal to 2. 2. During the process of creating the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir/s_dir directory, if the call to the inc_nlink function in ocfs2_mknod succeeds, the functions such as ocfs2_init_acl, ocfs2_init_security_set, and ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock fail. At this time, the i_nlink corresponding to the inode of the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory is equal to 3, but /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir/s_dir is not added to the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory entry. 3. Delete the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory (rm -rf /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir). At this time, it is found that the i_nlink corresponding to the inode corresponding to the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory is equal to 3. Therefore, the /mnt/ocfs2/p_dir directory cannot be deleted. Signed-off-by:

Sparse reports warnings at ocfs2_refcount_cache_lock() and ocfs2_refcount_cache_unlock() warning: context imbalance in ocfs2_refcount_cache_lock() - wrong count at exit warning: context imbalance in ocfs2_refcount_cache_unlock() - unexpected unlock The root cause is the missing annotation at ocfs2_refcount_cache_lock() and at ocfs2_refcount_cache_unlock() Add the missing __acquires(&rf->rf_lock) annotation to ocfs2_refcount_cache_lock() Add the missing __releases(&rf->rf_lock) annotation to ocfs2_refcount_cache_unlock() Signed-off-by:

Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met: [1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild [2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild This commit was generated by the following shell script. ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d') tmpfile=$(mktemp) grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' | xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u | while read header do mandatory=yes for arch in $arches do if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild && ! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then mandatory=no break fi done if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then echo "mandatory-y += $header" >> $tmpfile for arch in $arches do sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild done fi done sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- One obvious benefit is the diff stat: 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-) It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it. So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header implementation. See the following commits: def3f7ce a1b39bae It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell script. Signed-off-by:Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

The timer used by delayed kthread works are IRQ safe because the used kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn() is IRQ safe. It is properly marked when initialized by KTHREAD_DELAYED_WORK_INIT(). But TIMER_IRQSAFE flag is missing when initialized by kthread_init_delayed_work(). The missing flag might trigger invalid warning from del_timer_sync() when kthread_mod_delayed_work() is called with interrupts disabled. This patch is result of a discussion about using the API, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cfa886ad-e3b7-c0d2-3ff8-58d94170eab5@ti.comReported-by:

A recent change to the netlink code: 6e237d09 ("netlink: Relax attr validation for fixed length types") logs a warning when programs send messages with invalid attributes (e.g., wrong length for a u32). Yafang reported this error message for tools/accounting/getdelays.c. send_cmd() is wrongly adding 1 to the attribute length. As noted in include/uapi/linux/netlink.h nla_len should be NLA_HDRLEN + payload length, so drop the +1. Fixes: 9e06d3f9 ("per task delay accounting taskstats interface: documentation fix") Reported-by:

Every remaining user just has the error case returning -EFAULT. In fact, the exception was __get_user_asm_nozero(), which was removed in commit 4b842e4e ("x86: get rid of small constant size cases in raw_copy_{to,from}_user()"), and the other __get_user_xyz() macros just followed suit for consistency. Fix up some macro whitespace while at it. Signed-off-by:
