In commit d6995da311 ("hugetlb: use page.private for hugetlb specific
page flags") the use of PagePrivate to indicate a reservation count
should be restored at free time was changed to the hugetlb specific flag
HPageRestoreReserve. Changes to a userfaultfd error path as well as a
VM_BUG_ON() in remove_inode_hugepages() were overlooked.
Users could see incorrect hugetlb reserve counts if they experience an
error with a UFFDIO_COPY operation. Specifically, this would be the
result of an unlikely copy_huge_page_from_user error. There is not an
increased chance of hitting the VM_BUG_ON.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled, the kernel should also untag the
object pointer, as done in get_freepointer().
Failing to do so reportedly leads to SLUB freelist corruptions that
manifest as boot-time crashes.

While reviewing [1] I came across commit d3378e86d1 ("mm/gup: check
page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken
in two ways. First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being
dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time
after the check. Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a
ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which
is not released.
It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were
follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address
the underlying problem [2]
Therefore revert the original patch.

clang sometimes decides not to inline shuffle_zone(), but it calls a
__meminit function. Without the extra __meminit annotation we get this
warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2a86d4): Section mismatch in reference from the function shuffle_zone() to the function .meminit.text:__shuffle_zone()
The function shuffle_zone() references
the function __meminit __shuffle_zone().
This is often because shuffle_zone lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of __shuffle_zone is wrong.
shuffle_free_memory() did not show the same problem in my tests, but it
could happen in theory as well, so mark both as __meminit.

iomap_max_page_shift is expected to contain a page shift, so it can't be a
'bool', has to be an 'unsigned int'
And fix the default values: P4D_SHIFT is when huge iomap is allowed.
However, on some architectures (eg: powerpc book3s/64), P4D_SHIFT is not a
constant so it can't be used to initialise a static variable. So,
initialise iomap_max_page_shift with a maximum shift supported by the
architecture, it is gated by P4D_SHIFT in vmap_try_huge_p4d() anyway.

Consider the following sequence of events:
1. Userspace issues a UFFD ioctl, which ends up calling into
shmem_mfill_atomic_pte(). We successfully account the blocks, we
shmem_alloc_page(), but then the copy_from_user() fails. We return
-ENOENT. We don't release the page we allocated.
2. Our caller detects this error code, tries the copy_from_user() after
dropping the mmap_lock, and retries, calling back into
shmem_mfill_atomic_pte().
3. Meanwhile, let's say another process filled up the tmpfs being used.
4. So shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() fails to account blocks this time, and
immediately returns - without releasing the page.
This triggers a BUG_ON in our caller, which asserts that the page
should always be consumed, unless -ENOENT is returned.
To fix this, detect if we have such a "dangling" page when accounting
fails, and if so, release it before returning.

This is because there's one order of locking from the hotplug callbacks:
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // from hotplug machinery itself
lock(slab_mutex); // in e.g. slab_mem_going_offline_callback()
And commit 1f0723a4c0 made the reverse sequence possible:
lock(slab_mutex); // in kmem_cache_create_usercopy()
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // kmem_cache_open() -> static_key_enable()
The simplest fix is to move static_key_enable() to a place before slab_mutex is
taken. That means kmem_cache_create_usercopy() in mm/slab_common.c which is not
ideal for SLUB-specific code, but the #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG makes it
at least self-contained and obvious.

When rework early cow of pinned hugetlb pages, we moved huge_ptep_get()
upper but overlooked a side effect that the huge_ptep_get() will fetch the
pte after wr-protection. After moving it upwards, we need explicit
wr-protect of child pte or we will keep the write bit set in the child
process, which could cause data corrution where the child can write to the
original page directly.
This issue can also be exposed by "memfd_test hugetlbfs" kselftest.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Fix issues on file sealing and fork", v2.
Hugh reported issue with F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE not applied correctly to
hugetlbfs, which I can easily verify using the memfd_test program, which
seems that the program is hardly run with hugetlbfs pages (as by default
shmem).
Meanwhile I found another probably even more severe issue on that hugetlb
fork won't wr-protect child cow pages, so child can potentially write to
parent private pages. Patch 2 addresses that.
After this series applied, "memfd_test hugetlbfs" should start to pass.
This patch (of 2):
F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE is missing for hugetlb starting from the first day.
There is a test program for that and it fails constantly.
$ ./memfd_test hugetlbfs
memfd-hugetlb: CREATE
memfd-hugetlb: BASIC
memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-WRITE
memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-FUTURE-WRITE
mmap() didn't fail as expected
Aborted (core dumped)
I think it's probably because no one is really running the hugetlbfs test.
Fix it by checking FUTURE_WRITE also in hugetlbfs_file_mmap() as what we
do in shmem_mmap(). Generalize a helper for that.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

When I was implementing a latency analyzer tool by using task->delays
and other things, I found an issue in delayacct. The issue is it should
clear the target's flag instead of current's in delayacct_blkio_end().
When I git blame delayacct, I found there're some similar issues we have
fixed in delayacct_blkio_end().
- Commit c96f5471ce ("delayacct: Account blkio completion on the
correct task") fixed the issue that it should account blkio
completion on the target task instead of current.
- Commit b512719f77 ("delayacct: fix crash in delayacct_blkio_end()
after delayacct init failure") fixed the issue that it should check
target task's delays instead of current task'.
It seems that delayacct_blkio_{begin, end} are error prone.
So I introduce a new paratmeter - the target task 'p' - to these
helpers. After that change, the callsite will specifilly set the right
task, which should make it less error prone.

The allocation wait timeout was initially added because of warnings due to
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y [1]. While the 1 sec timeout is sufficient to
resolve the warnings (given the hung task timeout must be 1 sec or larger)
it may cause unnecessary wake-ups if the system is idle:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CADYN=9J0DQhizAGB0-jz4HOBBh+05kMBXb4c0cXMS7Qi5NAJiw@mail.gmail.com
Fix it by computing the timeout duration in terms of the current
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs value.

Patch series "kfence: optimize timer scheduling", v2.
We have observed that mostly-idle systems with KFENCE enabled wake up
otherwise idle CPUs, preventing such to enter a lower power state.
Debugging revealed that KFENCE spends too much active time in
toggle_allocation_gate().
While the first version of KFENCE was using all the right bits to be
scheduling optimal, and thus power efficient, by simply using wait_event()
+ wake_up(), that code was unfortunately removed.
As KFENCE was exposed to various different configs and tests, the
scheduling optimal code slowly disappeared. First because of hung task
warnings, and finally because of deadlocks when an allocation is made by
timer code with debug objects enabled. Clearly, the "fixes" were not too
friendly for devices that want to be power efficient.
Therefore, let's try a little harder to fix the hung task and deadlock
problems that we have with wait_event() + wake_up(), while remaining as
scheduling friendly and power efficient as possible.
Crucially, we need to defer the wake_up() to an irq_work, avoiding any
potential for deadlock.
The result with this series is that on the devices where we observed a
power regression, power usage returns back to baseline levels.
This patch (of 3):
On mostly-idle systems, we have observed that toggle_allocation_gate() is
a cause of frequent wake-ups, preventing an otherwise idle CPU to go into
a lower power state.
A late change in KFENCE's development, due to a potential deadlock [1],
required changing the scheduling-friendly wait_event_timeout() and
wake_up() to an open-coded wait-loop using schedule_timeout(). [1]
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/000000000000c0645805b7f982e4@google.com
To avoid unnecessary wake-ups, switch to using wait_event_timeout().
Unfortunately, we still cannot use a version with direct wake_up() in
__kfence_alloc() due to the same potential for deadlock as in [1].
Instead, add a level of indirection via an irq_work that is scheduled if
we determine that the kfence_timer requires a wake_up().

so make this an opt-in which needs to be explicitly enabled.
To control this, let memory_hotplug have its own memory space, as

Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.
This has some disadvantages:
a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
(eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
it is onlined.
b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
which has performance drawbacks.
c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
populated with base pages.
This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.
Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.
There are some non-obviously things to consider though.
Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used. The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns. The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap
page tables).
The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.
As per above, the functions that are introduced are:
- mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
fully span.
- mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.
The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.
On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages(). This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty. If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages. If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().
Hot-remove:
We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.
If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

zone_pcp_reset allegedly protects against a race with drain_pages using
local_irq_save but this is bogus. local_irq_save only operates on the
local CPU. If memory hotplug is running on CPU A and drain_pages is
running on CPU B, disabling IRQs on CPU A does not affect CPU B and
offers no protection.
This patch deletes IRQ disable/enable on the grounds that IRQs protect
nothing and assumes the existing hotplug paths guarantees the PCP cannot
be used after zone_pcp_enable(). That should be the case already
because all the pages have been freed and there is no page to put on the
PCP lists.

When pages are pinned they can be faulted in userland and migrated, and
they can be faulted right in kernel without migration.
In either case, the pinned pages must end-up being pinnable (not
movable).
Add a new test to gup_test, to help verify that the gup/pup
(get_user_pages() / pin_user_pages()) behavior with respect to pinnable
and movable pages is reasonable and correct. Specifically, provide a
way to:
1) Verify that only "pinnable" pages are pinned. This is checked
automatically for you.
2) Verify that gup/pup performance is reasonable. This requires
comparing benchmarks between doing gup/pup on pages that have been
pre-faulted in from user space, vs. doing gup/pup on pages that are
not faulted in until gup/pup time (via FOLL_TOUCH). This decision is
controlled with the new -z command line option.

In gup_test both gup_flags and test_flags use the same flags field.
This is broken.
Farther, in the actual gup_test.c all the passed gup_flags are erased
and unconditionally replaced with FOLL_WRITE.
Which means that test_flags are ignored, and code like this always
performs pin dump test:
155 if (gup->flags & GUP_TEST_FLAG_DUMP_PAGES_USE_PIN)
156 nr = pin_user_pages(addr, nr, gup->flags,
157 pages + i, NULL);
158 else
159 nr = get_user_pages(addr, nr, gup->flags,
160 pages + i, NULL);
161 break;
Add a new test_flags field, to allow raw gup_flags to work. Add a new
subcommand for DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST to specify that pin test should be
performed.
Remove unconditional overwriting of gup_flags via FOLL_WRITE. But,
preserve the previous behaviour where FOLL_WRITE was the default flag,
and add a new option "-W" to unset FOLL_WRITE.
Rename flags with gup_flags.

Function current_gfp_context() is called after fast path. However, soon
we will add more constraints which will also limit zones based on
context. Move this call into fast path, and apply the correct
constraints for all allocations.
Also update .reclaim_idx based on value returned by
current_gfp_context() because it soon will modify the allowed zones.
Note:
With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path,
but we already load current->flags in fast-path:
__alloc_pages()
prepare_alloc_pages()
current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags);
Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we
will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and
therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not
return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used
for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done
on any CMA pages.
When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it
is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of
pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any
long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag
for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which
defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for
long-term pins.
Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to
memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions
common.

When pages are isolated in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() we skip
compound number of pages at a time. However, as Jason noted, it is not
necessary correct that pages[i] corresponds to the pages that we
skipped. This is because it is possible that the addresses in this
range had split_huge_pmd()/split_huge_pud(), and these functions do not
update the compound page metadata.
The problem can be reproduced if something like this occurs:
1. User faulted huge pages.
2. split_huge_pmd() was called for some reason
3. User has unmapped some sub-pages in the range
4. User tries to longterm pin the addresses.
The resulting pages[i] might end-up having pages which are not compound
size page aligned.

Patch series "prohibit pinning pages in ZONE_MOVABLE", v11.
When page is pinned it cannot be moved and its physical address stays
the same until pages is unpinned.
This is useful functionality to allows userland to implementation DMA
access. For example, it is used by vfio in vfio_pin_pages().
However, this functionality breaks memory hotplug/hotremove assumptions
that pages in ZONE_MOVABLE can always be migrated.
This patch series fixes this issue by forcing new allocations during
page pinning to omit ZONE_MOVABLE, and also to migrate any existing
pages from ZONE_MOVABLE during pinning.
It uses the same scheme logic that is currently used by CMA, and extends
the functionality for all allocations.
For more information read the discussion [1] about this problem.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+CK2bBffHBxjmb9jmSKacm0fJMinyt3Nhk8Nx6iudcQSj80_w@mail.gmail.com
This patch (of 14):
In order not to fragment CMA the pinned pages are migrated. However, they
are migrated to ZONE_MOVABLE, which also should not have pinned pages.
Remove __GFP_MOVABLE, so pages can be migrated to zones where pinning is
allowed.

One of the many lasting sources of direct hugepage splits is kernel
tracing (kprobes, tracepoints).
Note that the kernel's code segment [512 MB] points to the same physical
addresses that have been already mapped in the kernel's direct mapping
range.
Source : Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.rst
When we enable kernel tracing, the kernel has to modify
attributes/permissions of the text segment hugepages that are direct
mapped causing them to split.
Kernel's direct mapped hugepages do not coalesce back after split and
remain in place for the remainder of the lifetime.
