Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio
removed from pagecache", v7.
This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache
for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't
have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache
(aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get
a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache.
The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and
filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper,
folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required.
The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it
adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make
filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if
PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to
add a check for this.
This patch (of 2):
Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.
There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.
In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.
A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.
After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of
mm/ is a check in fuse.

CMA allocation can happen either from global cma or from dedicated cma
region.
Thus it is helpful to print cma name as well during initial
debugging to confirm cma regions were getting initialized or not.

It appears that destroy_memory_type() isn't a very good name because we
usually will not free the memory_type here. So rename it to a more

kmem.limit_in_bytes (v1 way to limit kernel memory usage) has been
deprecated since 58056f77502f ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") merged in 5.16. We haven't heard about any serious
users since then but it seems that the mere presence of the file is
causing more harm thatn good. We (SUSE) have had several bug reports from
customers where Docker based containers started to fail because a write to
kmem.limit_in_bytes has failed.
This was unexpected because runc code only expects ENOENT (kmem disabled)
or EBUSY (tasks already running within cgroup). So a new error code was
unexpected and the whole container startup failed. This has been later
addressed by
https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/commit/52390d68040637dfc77f9fda6bbe70952423d380
so current Docker runtimes do not suffer from the problem anymore. There
are still older version of Docker in use and likely hard to get rid of
completely.
Address this by wiping out the file completely and effectively get back to
pre 4.5 era and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n configuration.
I would recommend backporting to stable trees which have picked up
58056f77502f ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes").

If pfn is outside zone boundaries in the first round, ret will be set to
1. But if pfn is changed to inside the zone boundaries in zone span
seqretry path, ret is still set to 1 leading to false page outside zone
error info.
This is from code inspection. The race window should be really small thus
hard to trigger in real world.

As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per
process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual
pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory
demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero-
pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM
profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM.
since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then
tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any
longer.
Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of
'ksm_zero_pages' in it.

As pages_sharing and pages_shared don't include the number of zero pages
merged by KSM, we cannot know how many pages are zero pages placed by KSM
when enabling use_zero_pages, which leads to KSM not being transparent
with all actual merged pages by KSM. In the early days of use_zero_pages,
zero-pages was unable to get unshared by the ways like MADV_UNMERGEABLE so
it's hard to count how many times one of those zeropages was then
unmerged.
But now, unsharing KSM-placed zero page accurately has been achieved, so
we can easily count both how many times a page full of zeroes was merged
with zero-page and how many times one of those pages was then unmerged.
and so, it helps to estimate memory demands when each and every shared
page could get unshared.
So we add ksm_zero_pages under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/ to show the number
of all zero pages placed by KSM. Meanwhile, we update the Documentation.

Patch series "ksm: support tracking KSM-placed zero-pages", v10.
The core idea of this patch set is to enable users to perceive the number
of any pages merged by KSM, regardless of whether use_zero_page switch has
been turned on, so that users can know how much free memory increase is
really due to their madvise(MERGEABLE) actions. But the problem is, when
enabling use_zero_pages, all empty pages will be merged with kernel zero
pages instead of with each other as use_zero_pages is disabled, and then
these zero-pages are no longer monitored by KSM.
The motivations to do this is seen at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202302100915227721315@zte.com.cn/
In one word, we hope to implement the support for KSM-placed zero pages
tracking without affecting the feature of use_zero_pages, so that app
developer can also benefit from knowing the actual KSM profit by getting
KSM-placed zero pages to optimize applications eventually when
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/use_zero_pages is enabled.
This patch (of 5):
When use_zero_pages of ksm is enabled, madvise(addr, len,
MADV_UNMERGEABLE) and other ways (like write 2 to /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run)
to trigger unsharing will *not* actually unshare the shared zeropage as
placed by KSM (which is against the MADV_UNMERGEABLE documentation). As
these KSM-placed zero pages are out of the control of KSM, the related
counts of ksm pages don't expose how many zero pages are placed by KSM
(these special zero pages are different from those initially mapped zero
pages, because the zero pages mapped to MADV_UNMERGEABLE areas are
expected to be a complete and unshared page).
To not blindly unshare all shared zero_pages in applicable VMAs, the patch
use pte_mkdirty (related with architecture) to mark KSM-placed zero pages.
Thus, MADV_UNMERGEABLE will only unshare those KSM-placed zero pages.
In addition, we'll reuse this mechanism to reliably identify KSM-placed
ZeroPages to properly account for them (e.g., calculating the KSM profit
that includes zeropages) in the latter patches.
The patch will not degrade the performance of use_zero_pages as it doesn't
change the way of merging empty pages in use_zero_pages's feature.

local_irq_save().
__build_all_zonelists() acquires zonelist_update_seq by first disabling
interrupts via local_irq_save() and then acquiring the seqlock with
write_seqlock(). This is troublesome and leads to problems on PREEMPT_RT.
The problem is that the inner spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on
PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts.
The API provides write_seqlock_irqsave() which does the right thing in one
step. printk_deferred_enter() has to be invoked in non-migrate-able
context to ensure that deferred printing is enabled and disabled on the
same CPU. This is the case after zonelist_update_seq has been acquired.
There was discussion on the first submission that the order should be:
local_irq_disable();
printk_deferred_enter();
write_seqlock();
to avoid pitfalls like having an unaccounted printk() coming from
write_seqlock_irqsave() before printk_deferred_enter() is invoked. The
only origin of such a printk() can be a lockdep splat because the lockdep
annotation happens after the sequence count is incremented. This is
exceptional and subject to change.
It was also pointed that PREEMPT_RT can be affected by the printk problem
since its write_seqlock_irqsave() does not really disable interrupts.
This isn't the case because PREEMPT_RT's printk implementation differs
from the mainline implementation in two important aspects:
- Printing happens in a dedicated threads and not at during the
invocation of printk().
- In emergency cases where synchronous printing is used, a different
driver is used which does not use tty_port::lock.
Acquire zonelist_update_seq with write_seqlock_irqsave() and then defer
printk output.

The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] will
also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min watermark of
ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE.
__GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable zone
pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small value in
__setup_per_zone_wmarks().

ra->prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the previous read request.
It is used to check whether it is sequential read in ondemand_readahead
and thus affects the readahead window.
After commit 06c0444290ce ("mm/filemap.c: generic_file_buffered_read() now
uses find_get_pages_contig"), update logic of prev_pos is changed. It
updates prev_pos after each return from filemap_get_pages(). But the read
request from user may be not fully completed at this point. The updated
prev_pos impacts the subsequent readahead window.
The real problem is performance drop of fsck_msdos between linux-5.4 and
linux-5.15(also linux-6.4). Comparing to linux-5.4,It spends about 110%
time and read 140% pages. The read pattern of fsck_msdos is not fully
sequential.
Simplified read pattern of fsck_msdos likes below:

3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
Here is the read status on linux-6.4:
1.after read at page offset 0xa,size 0x1000
->page ofs 0xa go into pagecache
2.after read at page offset 0x20,size 0x1000
->page ofs 0x20 go into pagecache
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
->filemap_get_pages read ofs 0xa from pagecache and returns
->prev_pos is updated to 0xb and goto next loop
->filemap_get_pages tends to read ofs 0xb,size 0x3000
->initial_readahead case in ondemand_readahead since prev_pos is
the same as request ofs.
->read 8 pages while async size is 5 pages
(PageReadahead flag at page 0xe)
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
->hit page 0xe with PageReadahead flag set,double the ra_size.
read 16 pages while async size is 16 pages
Now it reads 24 pages while actually uses 5 pages
on linux-5.4:
1.the same as 6.4
2.the same as 6.4
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
->read ofs 0xa from pagecache
->read ofs 0xb,size 0x3000 using page_cache_sync_readahead
read 3 pages
->prev_pos is updated to 0xd before generic_file_buffered_read
returns
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
->initial_readahead case in ondemand_readahead since
request ofs-prev_pos==1
->read 4 pages while async size is 3 pages
Now it reads 7 pages while actually uses 5 pages.
In above demo, the initial_readahead case is triggered by offset of user
request on linux-5.4. While it may be triggered by update logic of
prev_pos on linux-6.4.
To fix the performance drop, update prev_pos after finishing one read
request.

Now __get_user_pages() should be well prepared to handle thp completely,

The acceleration of THP was done with ctx.page_mask, however it'll be
ignored if **pages is non-NULL.
The old optimization was introduced in 2013 in 240aadeedc4a ("mm:
accelerate mm_populate() treatment of THP pages"). It didn't explain why
we can't optimize the **pages non-NULL case. It's possible that at that
time the major goal was for mm_populate() which should be enough back
then.
Optimize thp for all cases, by properly looping over each subpage, doing
cache flushes, and boost refcounts / pincounts where needed in one go.
This can be verified using gup_test below:
# chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10
Before: 13992.50 ( +-8.75%)
After: 378.50 (+-69.62%)

Make it use the same path, meanwhile tune the next_page label upper to

follow_page() doesn't use FOLL_PIN, meanwhile hugetlb seems to not be the
target of FOLL_WRITE either. However add the checks.
Namely, either the need to CoW due to missing write bit, or proper
unsharing on !AnonExclusive pages over R/O pins to reject the follow page.
That brings this function closer to follow_hugetlb_page().
So we don't care before, and also for now. But we'll care if we switch
over slow-gup to use hugetlb_follow_page_mask(). We'll also care when to
return -EMLINK properly, as that's the gup internal api to mean "we should
unshare". Not really needed for follow page path, though.
When at it, switching the try_grab_page() to use WARN_ON_ONCE(), to be
clear that it just should never fail. When error happens, instead of
setting page==NULL, capture the errno instead.

Patch series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, speed up thp", v4.
Hugetlb has a special path for slow gup that follow_page_mask() is
actually skipped completely along with faultin_page(). It's not only
confusing, but also duplicating a lot of logics that generic gup already
has, making hugetlb slightly special.
This patchset tries to dedup the logic, by first touching up the slow gup
code to be able to handle hugetlb pages correctly with the current follow
page and faultin routines (where we're mostly there.. due to 10 years ago
we did try to optimize thp, but half way done; more below), then at the
last patch drop the special path, then the hugetlb gup will always go the
generic routine too via faultin_page().
Note that hugetlb is still special for gup, mostly due to the pgtable
walking (hugetlb_walk()) that we rely on which is currently per-arch. But
this is still one small step forward, and the diffstat might be a proof
too that this might be worthwhile.
Then for the "speed up thp" side: as a side effect, when I'm looking at
the chunk of code, I found that thp support is actually partially done.
It doesn't mean that thp won't work for gup, but as long as **pages
pointer passed over, the optimization will be skipped too. Patch 6 should
address that, so for thp we now get full speed gup.
For a quick number, "chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10"
gives me 13992.50us -> 378.50us. Gup_test is an extreme case, but just to
show how it affects thp gups.
This patch (of 8):
Firstly, the no_page_table() is meaningless for hugetlb which is a no-op
there, because a hugetlb page always satisfies:
- vma_is_anonymous() == false
- vma->vm_ops->fault != NULL
So we can already safely remove it in hugetlb_follow_page_mask(), alongside
with the page* variable.
Meanwhile, what we do in follow_hugetlb_page() actually makes sense for a
dump: we try to fault in the page only if the page cache is already
allocated. Let's do the same here for follow_page_mask() on hugetlb.
It should so far has zero effect on real dumps, because that still goes
into follow_hugetlb_page(). But this may start to influence a bit on
follow_page() users who mimics a "dump page" scenario, but hopefully in a
good way. This also paves way for unifying the hugetlb gup-slow.

We would like to move away from requiring architectures to restore
metadata from swap in the set_pte_at() implementation, as this is not only
error-prone but adds complexity to the arch-specific code. This requires
us to call arch_swap_restore() before calling swap_free() whenever pages
are restored from swap. We are currently doing so everywhere except in
unuse_pte(); do so there as well.

its own even when not required by CONFIG_TMPFS or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS.
Split it into its own proper bool option that can be enabled by users.
Move that option into mm/ where the code itself also lies. Also add
"select" statements to CONFIG_TMPFS and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS so they

During swapoff, try_to_unuse fails to alloc memory due to memory limit and
this leads to the failure of swapoff and causes re-insertion of swap space
back into swap_list. During _enable_swap_info, this swap device is added
to avail list even this swap device if full. At the same time, one entry
in this full swap device in released and we try to add this device into

A folio turns into a Workingset during:
1) shrink_active_list() placing the folio from active to inactive list.
2) When a workingset transition is happening during the folio refault.
And when Workingset is set on a folio, PSI for memory can be accounted
during a) That folio is being reclaimed and b) Refault of that folio,
for usual reclaims.
This accounting of PSI for memory is not consistent for reclaim +
refault operation between usual reclaim and madvise(COLD/PAGEOUT) which
deactivate or proactively reclaim a folio:
a) A folio started at inactive and moved to active as part of accesses.
Workingset is absent on the folio thus refault of it when reclaimed
through MADV_PAGEOUT operation doesn't account for PSI.
b) When the same folio transition from inactive->active and then to
inactive through shrink_active_list(). Workingset is set on the folio
thus refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT operation
accounts for PSI.
c) When the same folio is part of active list directly as a result of
folio refault and this was a workingset folio prior to eviction.
Workingset is set on the folio thus the refault of it when reclaimed
through MADV_PAGEOUT/MADV_COLD operation accounts for PSI.
d) MADV_COLD transfers the folio from active list to inactive
list. Such folios may not have the Workingset thus refault operation on
such folio doesn't account for PSI.
As said above, refault operation caused because of MADV_PAGEOUT on a
folio is accounts for memory PSI in b) and c) but not in a). Refault
caused by the reclaim of a folio on which MADV_COLD is performed
accounts memory PSI in c) but not in d). These behaviours are
inconsistent w.r.t usual reclaim + refault operation. Make this PSI
accounting always consistent by turning a folio into a workingset one
whenever it is leaving the active list. Also, accounting of PSI on a
folio whenever it leaves the active list as part of the
MADV_COLD/PAGEOUT operation helps the users whether they are operating
on proper folios[1].

This reverts commit 9e46e4dcd9d6cd88342b028dbfa5f4fb7483d39c.
kbuild reports a warning in memblock_remove_region() because of a false
positive caused by partial reset of the memblock state.
Doing the full reset will remove the false positives, but will allow
late use of memblock_free() to go unnoticed, so it is better to revert
the offending commit.

mbind() calls down into vma_replace_policy() without taking the per-VMA
locks, replaces the VMA's vma->vm_policy pointer, and frees the old
policy. That's bad; a concurrent page fault might still be using the
old policy (in vma_alloc_folio()), resulting in use-after-free.
Normally this will manifest as a use-after-free read first, but it can
result in memory corruption, including because vma_alloc_folio() can
call mpol_cond_put() on the freed policy, which conditionally changes
the policy's refcount member.
This bug is specific to CONFIG_NUMA, but it does also affect non-NUMA
systems as long as the kernel was built with CONFIG_NUMA.

It was pointed out[1] that using folio_test_hwpoison() is wrong as we need
to check the indiviual page that has poison. folio_test_hwpoison() only
checks the head page so go back to using PageHWPoison().
User-visible effects include existing hwpoison-inject tests possibly
failing as unpoisoning a single subpage could lead to unpoisoning an
entire folio. Memory unpoisoning could also not work as expected as
the function will break early due to only checking the head page and
not the actually poisoned subpage.

When VMAs are merged, dup_anon_vma() is called with `dst` pointing to the
VMA that is being expanded to cover the area previously occupied by
another VMA. This currently happens while `dst` is not write-locked.
This means that, in the `src->anon_vma && !dst->anon_vma` case, as soon as
the assignment `dst->anon_vma = src->anon_vma` has happened, concurrent
page faults can happen on `dst` under the per-VMA lock. This is already
icky in itself, since such page faults can now install pages into `dst`
that are attached to an `anon_vma` that is not yet tied back to the
`anon_vma` with an `anon_vma_chain`. But if `anon_vma_clone()` fails due
to an out-of-memory error, things get much worse: `anon_vma_clone()` then
reverts `dst->anon_vma` back to NULL, and `dst` remains completely
unconnected to the `anon_vma`, even though we can have pages in the area
covered by `dst` that point to the `anon_vma`.
This means the `anon_vma` of such pages can be freed while the pages are
still mapped into userspace, which leads to UAF when a helper like
folio_lock_anon_vma_read() tries to look up the anon_vma of such a page.
This theoretically is a security bug, but I believe it is really hard to
actually trigger as an unprivileged user because it requires that you can
make an order-0 GFP_KERNEL allocation fail, and the page allocator tries
pretty hard to prevent that.
I think doing the vma_start_write() call inside dup_anon_vma() is the most
straightforward fix for now.
For a kernel-assisted reproducer, see the notes section of the patch mail.

Booting x86_64 with CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y shows messages of the form
"mm/pgtable-generic.c:53: bad pmd (____ptrval____)(8000000100077061)".
EFI_PGT_DUMP dumps all of efi_mm, including the espfix area, which is set
up with pmd entries which fit the pmd_bad() check: so 0d940a9b270b warns
and clears those entries, which would ruin running Win16 binaries.
The failing pte_offset_map() stopped such a kernel from even booting,
until a few commits later be872f83bf57 changed the pagewalk to tolerate
that: but it needs to be even more careful, to not spoil those entries.
I might have preferred to change init_espfix_ap() not to use "bad" pmd
entries; or to leave them out of the efi_mm dump. But there is great
value in staying away from there, and a pagewalk check of address against
TASK_SIZE may protect from other such aberrations too.

HWPoison: my reading of folio_test_hwpoison() is that it only tests the
head page of a large folio, whereas splice_folio_into_pipe() will splice
as much of the folio as it can: so for safety we should also check the
has_hwpoisoned flag, set if any of the folio's pages are hwpoisoned.
(Perhaps that ugliness can be improved at the mm end later.)
The call to splice_zeropage_into_pipe() risked overrunning past EOF: ask
it for "part" not "len".

lock_vma_under_rcu() tries to guarantee that __anon_vma_prepare() can't
be called in the VMA-locked page fault path by ensuring that
vma->anon_vma is set.
However, this check happens before the VMA is locked, which means a
concurrent move_vma() can concurrently call unlink_anon_vmas(), which
disassociates the VMA's anon_vma.
This means we can get UAF in the following scenario:
THREAD 1 THREAD 2
======== ========
<page fault>
lock_vma_under_rcu()
rcu_read_lock()
mas_walk()
check vma->anon_vma
mremap() syscall
move_vma()
vma_start_write()
unlink_anon_vmas()
<syscall end>

__anon_vma_prepare()
find_mergeable_anon_vma()
mas_walk() [looks up VMA X]
munmap() syscall (deletes VMA X)
reusable_anon_vma() [called on freed VMA X]
This is a security bug if you can hit it, although an attacker would
have to win two races at once where the first race window is only a few
instructions wide.
This patch is based on some previous discussion with Linus Torvalds on
the security list.

The memblock_discard function frees the memblock.reserved.regions
array, which is good.
However, if a subsequent memblock_free (or memblock_phys_free) comes
in later, from for example ima_free_kexec_buffer, that will result in
a use after free bug in memblock_isolate_range.
When running a kernel with CONFIG_KASAN enabled, this will cause a
kernel panic very early in boot. Without CONFIG_KASAN, there is
a chance that memblock_isolate_range might scribble on memory
that is now in use by somebody else.
Avoid those issues by making sure that memblock_discard points
memblock.reserved.regions back at the static buffer.
If memblock_free is called after memblock memory is discarded, that will
print a warning in memblock_remove_region.

apply_vma_lock_flags() calls mlock_fixup(), which could merge the VMA
after where the vma iterator is located. Although this is not an issue,
the next iteration of the loop will check the start of the vma to be equal
to the locally saved 'tmp' variable and cause an incorrect failure
scenario. Fix the error by setting tmp to the end of the vma iterator
value before restarting the loop.
There is also a potential of the error code being overwritten when the
loop terminates early. Fix the return issue by directly returning when an
error is encountered since there is nothing to undo after the loop.
