      mm: shmem.c: Correctly annotate new inodes for lockdep · 946f8052
      Joel Fernandes (Google) authored 
      commit b45d71fb upstream.

Directories and inodes don't necessarily need to be in the same lockdep
class.  For ex, hugetlbfs splits them out too to prevent false positives
in lockdep.  Annotate correctly after new inode creation.  If its a
directory inode, it will be put into a different class.

This should fix a lockdep splat reported by syzbot:

      mm: disable deferred struct page for 32-bit arches · 4cdb6f01
      Pasha Tatashin authored 
      commit 889c695d upstream.

Deferred struct page init is needed only on systems with large amount of
physical memory to improve boot performance.  32-bit systems do not
benefit from this feature.

Jiri reported a problem where deferred struct pages do not work well with

Because there is no reason to have this feature on 32-bit systems, just
disable it.

      mm: make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM · 8bca1a92
      Mike Rapoport authored 
      [ Upstream commit d39f8fb4 ]

The deferred memory initialization relies on section definitions, e.g
PAGES_PER_SECTION, that are only available when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y on
most architectures.

Initially DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depended on explicit
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT configuration option, but since
the commit 2e3ca40f ("mm: relax deferred struct page
requirements") this requirement was relaxed and now it is possible to
enable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT on architectures that support
DISCONTINGMEM and NO_BOOTMEM which causes build failures.

For instance, setting SMP=y and DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y on arc
causes the following build failure:

Let's make the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM
as the systems that support DISCONTIGMEM do not seem to have that huge
amounts of memory that would make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT relevant.

      mm/fadvise.c: fix signed overflow UBSAN complaint · b9f9fc38
      Andrey Ryabinin authored 
      [ Upstream commit a718e28f ]

Signed integer overflow is undefined according to the C standard.  The
overflow in ksys_fadvise64_64() is deliberate, but since it is signed
overflow, UBSAN complains:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/fadvise.c:76:10
	signed integer overflow:
	4 + 9223372036854775805 cannot be represented in type 'long long int'

Use unsigned types to do math.  Unsigned overflow is defined so UBSAN
will not complain about it.  This patch doesn't change generated code.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add comment explaining the casts]

      mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() · 0a57c747
      Dave Hansen authored 
      commit 0d834328 upstream.

free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses
should be freed.  However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way.  If it
gets a kernel direct map address, it always works.  However, if it gets an
address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail.

It fails if all of the following happen:
 * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias
 * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset())
 * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image

The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course.
free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image
alias addresses.  We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image
alias areas it gets used on are read-write.  I'm fairly sure this has been
just a happy accident.

It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just
convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and
do this unconditionally.  There is little chance of a regression here
because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset,
so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

      x86/speculation/l1tf: Limit swap file size to MAX_PA/2 · 1655bd14
      Andi Kleen authored 
      commit 377eeaa8 upstream.

For the L1TF workaround its necessary to limit the swap file size to below
MAX_PA/2, so that the higher bits of the swap offset inverted never point
to valid memory.

Add a mechanism for the architecture to override the swap file size check
in swapfile.c and add a x86 specific max swapfile check function that
enforces that limit.

The check is only enabled if the CPU is vulnerable to L1TF.

In VMs with 42bit MAX_PA the typical limit is 2TB now, on a native system
with 46bit PA it is 32TB. The limit is only per individual swap file, so
it's always possible to exceed these limits with multiple swap files or
partitions.

      x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings · 9870e755
      Andi Kleen authored 
      commit 42e4089c upstream.

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.

Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.

To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.

Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.

It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.

For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().

For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.

      mm: delete historical BUG from zap_pmd_range() · 53406ed1
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      Delete the old VM_BUG_ON_VMA() from zap_pmd_range(), which asserted
that mmap_sem must be held when splitting an "anonymous" vma there.
Whether that's still strictly true nowadays is not entirely clear,
but the danger of sometimes crashing on the BUG is now fairly clear.

Even with the new stricter rules for anonymous vma marking, the
condition it checks for can possible trigger. Commit 44960f2a
("staging: ashmem: Fix SIGBUS crash when traversing mmaped ashmem
pages") is good, and originally I thought it was safe from that
VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), because the /dev/ashmem fd exposed to the user is
disconnected from the vm_file in the vma, and madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE)
insists on VM_SHARED.

But after I read John's earlier mail, drawing attention to the
vfs_fallocate() in there: I may be wrong, and I don't know if Android
has THP in the config anyway, but it looks to me like an
unmap_mapping_range() from ashmem's vfs_fallocate() could hit precisely
the VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), once it's vma_is_anonymous().

      zswap: re-check zswap_is_full() after do zswap_shrink() · 16e536ef
      Li Wang authored 
      /sys/../zswap/stored_pages keeps rising in a zswap test with
"zswap.max_pool_percent=0" parameter.  But it should not compress or
store pages any more since there is no space in the compressed pool.

Reproduce steps:
  1. Boot kernel with "zswap.enabled=1"
  2. Set the max_pool_percent to 0
      # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
  3. Do memory stress test to see if some pages have been compressed
      # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes $mem_available"M" --timeout 60s
  4. Watching the 'stored_pages' number increasing or not

The root cause is:

  When zswap_max_pool_percent is set to 0 via kernel parameter,
  zswap_is_full() will always return true due to zswap_shrink().  But if
  the shinking is able to reclain a page successfully the code then
  proceeds to compressing/storing another page, so the value of
  stored_pages will keep changing.

To solve the issue, this patch adds a zswap_is_full() check again after
  zswap_shrink() to make sure it's now under the max_pool_percent, and to
  not compress/store if we reached the limit.

This can be fixed by assigning anonymous VMAs own vm_ops and not relying
on it being NULL.

If ->mmap() failed to set ->vm_ops, mmap_region() will set it to
dummy_vm_ops.  This way we will have non-NULL ->vm_ops for all VMAs.

The reason is that the length of the new brk is not page aligned when we
try to populate the it.  There is no reason to bug on that though.
do_brk_flags already aligns the length properly so the mapping is
expanded as it should.  All we need is to tell mm_populate about it.
Besides that there is absolutely no reason to to bug_on in the first
place.  The worst thing that could happen is that the last page wouldn't
get populated and that is far from putting system into an inconsistent
state.

Fix the issue by moving the length sanitization code from do_brk_flags
up to vm_brk_flags.  The only other caller of do_brk_flags is brk
syscall entry and it makes sure to provide the proper length so t here
is no need for sanitation and so we can use do_brk_flags without it.

Also remove the bogus BUG_ONs.

The warning is basically saying that a top-down allocation can break

it.

Make the warning conditional only to configurations that care.

      mm: do not drop unused pages when userfaultd is running · bce73e48
      Christian Borntraeger authored 
      KVM guests on s390 can notify the host of unused pages.  This can result
in pte_unused callbacks to be true for KVM guest memory.

If a page is unused (checked with pte_unused) we might drop this page
instead of paging it.  This can have side-effects on userfaultd, when
the page in question was already migrated:

The next access of that page will trigger a fault and a user fault
instead of faulting in a new and empty zero page.  As QEMU does not
expect a userfault on an already migrated page this migration will fail.

The most straightforward solution is to ignore the pte_unused hint if a
userfault context is active for this VMA.

      mm: zero unavailable pages before memmap init · e181ae0c
      Pavel Tatashin authored 
      We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical
memory, or kernel does not have access to.

Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in
e820.  Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here:

  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html

Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting
commit 124049de ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved") fixes the issue.

The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they
were setup.

The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of
struct pages.

A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing
cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in
zero_resv_unavail().

      slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache · d50d82fa
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache
merging (commit 21bb1327: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab
caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical
attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on
implicit merging.

This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and
immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails
because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/.  The slub subsystem
offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new
cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate
filename in sysfs.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache.  kobject_del must be called
while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a
cache with the same attributes could be created.

      Revert mm/vmstat.c: fix vmstat_update() preemption BUG · 28557cc1
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      Revert commit c7f26ccf ("mm/vmstat.c: fix vmstat_update() preemption
BUG").  Steven saw a "using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" message
and added a preempt_disable() section around it to keep it quiet.  This
is not the right thing to do it does not fix the real problem.

vmstat_update() is invoked by a kworker on a specific CPU.  This worker
it bound to this CPU.  The name of the worker was "kworker/1:1" so it
should have been a worker which was bound to CPU1.  A worker which can
run on any CPU would have a `u' before the first digit.

smp_processor_id() can be used in a preempt-enabled region as long as
the task is bound to a single CPU which is the case here.  If it could
run on an arbitrary CPU then this is the problem we have an should seek
to resolve.

Not only this smp_processor_id() must not be migrated to another CPU but
also refresh_cpu_vm_stats() which might access wrong per-CPU variables.
Not to mention that other code relies on the fact that such a worker
runs on one specific CPU only.

Therefore revert that commit and we should look instead what broke the
affinity mask of the kworker.

      bdi: Fix another oops in wb_workfn() · 3ee7e869
      Jan Kara authored 
      syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at wb_workfn() [1] due to
wb->bdi->dev being NULL. And Dmitry confirmed that wb->state was
WB_shutting_down after wb->bdi->dev became NULL. This indicates that
unregister_bdi() failed to call wb_shutdown() on one of wb objects.

The problem is in cgwb_bdi_unregister() which does cgwb_kill() and thus
drops bdi's reference to wb structures before going through the list of
wbs again and calling wb_shutdown() on each of them. This way the loop
iterating through all wbs can easily miss a wb if that wb has already
passed through cgwb_remove_from_bdi_list() called from wb_shutdown()
from cgwb_release_workfn() and as a result fully shutdown bdi although
wb_workfn() for this wb structure is still running. In fact there are
also other ways cgwb_bdi_unregister() can race with
cgwb_release_workfn() leading e.g. to use-after-free issues:

CPU1                            CPU2
                                cgwb_bdi_unregister()
                                  cgwb_kill(*slot);

cgwb_release()
  queue_work(cgwb_release_wq, &wb->release_work);
cgwb_release_workfn()
                                  wb = list_first_entry(&bdi->wb_list, ...)
                                  spin_unlock_irq(&cgwb_lock);
  wb_shutdown(wb);
  ...
  kfree_rcu(wb, rcu);
                                  wb_shutdown(wb); -> oops use-after-free

We solve these issues by synchronizing writeback structure shutdown from
cgwb_bdi_unregister() with cgwb_release_workfn() using a new mutex. That
way we also no longer need synchronization using WB_shutting_down as the
mutex provides it for CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK case and without
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK wb_shutdown() can be called only once from
bdi_unregister().
