Now that pages are "DMA-pinned" via pin_user_page*(), and unpinned via
unpin_user_pages*(), we need some visibility into whether all of this is
working correctly.
Add two new fields to /proc/vmstat:
nr_foll_pin_acquired
nr_foll_pin_released
These are documented in Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst. They
represent the number of pages (since boot time) that have been pinned
("nr_foll_pin_acquired") and unpinned ("nr_foll_pin_released"), via
pin_user_pages*() and unpin_user_pages*().
In the absence of long-running DMA or RDMA operations that hold pages
pinned, the above two fields will normally be equal to each other.
Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, to remove an
earlier (now confirmed untrue) claim about a performance problem with
/proc/vmstat.
Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst to rename the new
/proc/vmstat entries, to the names listed here.

For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS
scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head
page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number
of huge pages that can be pinned.
This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting
for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this
approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1
compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there.
A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing
a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).
This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN. This tracking is
implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding
GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount. This provides a fuzzy
indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK).
Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for
details.
As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN
(typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such
pages via unpin_user_page().
Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the
"TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section. (That limitation will be
removed in a following patch.)
The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be
thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use".
Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new
function call:
bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page);
What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later
patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4].
This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

An upcoming patch requires subtracting a large chunk of refcounts from a
page, and checking what the resulting refcount is. This is a little
different than the usual "check for zero refcount" that many of the page
ref functions already do. However, it is similar to a few other routines
that (like this one) are generally useful for things such as 1-based
refcounting.
Add page_ref_sub_return(), that subtracts a chunk of refcounts atomically,
and returns an atomic snapshot of the result.

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.

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.

- These were never called PCG flags; they've been called FGP flags since
their introduction in 2014.
- The FGP_FOR_MMAP flag was misleadingly documented as if it was an
alternative to FGP_CREAT instead of an option to it.
- Rename the 'offset' parameter to 'index'.
- Capitalisation, formatting, rewording.

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 f446daaea9d4 ("mm: implement writeback
livelock avoidance using page tagging"), and later modified/updated in
commit 6e6938b6d313 ("writeback: introduce .tagged_writepages for the
WB_SYNC_NONE sync stage").
The label has been removed in commit 64081362e8ff ("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: 6b4c9f446981 ("filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations")

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.

Clang warns:

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just
addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and does
not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld
(tested with diff + objdump -Dr).

fallback node"
This reverts commit ad2c8144418c6a81cefe65379fd47bbe8344cef2.
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 0715e6c516f1 ("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.

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

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).

an error occurs
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.

to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this

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:
def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24
It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

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

A recent change to the netlink code: 6e237d099fac ("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.

Qian Cai reports seemingly random buffer read verifier errors during
filesystem writeback. This was isolated to a recent patch that
factored out some inode cluster freeing code and happened to cast an
unsigned inode number type to a signed value. If the inode number
value overflows, we can skip marking in-core inodes associated with
the underlying buffer stale at the time the physical inodes are
freed. If such an inode happens to be dirty, xfsaild will eventually
attempt to write it back over non-inode blocks. The invalidation of
the underlying inode buffer causes writeback to read the buffer from
disk. This fails the read verifier (preventing eventual corruption)
if the buffer no longer looks like an inode cluster. Analysis by
Dave Chinner.
Fix up the helper to use the proper type for inode number values.

We have both vhost and virtio drivers that depend on vdpa.
It's easier to locate it at a top level directory otherwise
we run into issues e.g. if vhost is built-in but virtio
is modular. Let's just move it up a level.

This commit introduced two layers to drive IFC VF:
(1) ifcvf_base layer, which handles IFC VF NIC hardware operations and
configurations.
(2) ifcvf_main layer, which complies to VDPA bus framework,
implemented device operations for VDPA bus, handles device probe,
bus attaching, vring operations, etc.
