Introduce lock_vma_under_rcu function to lookup and lock a VMA during page
fault handling. When VMA is not found, can't be locked or changes after
being locked, the function returns NULL. The lookup is performed under
RCU protection to prevent the found VMA from being destroyed before the
VMA lock is acquired. VMA lock statistics are updated according to the
results. For now only anonymous VMAs can be searched this way. In other
cases the function returns NULL.

Normally free_pgtables needs to lock affected VMAs except for the case
when VMAs were isolated under VMA write-lock. munmap() does just that,
isolating while holding appropriate locks and then downgrading mmap_lock
and dropping per-VMA locks before freeing page tables. Add a parameter to
free_pgtables for such scenario.

Prevent filesystems from doing things which sleep in their map_pages
method. This is in preparation for a pagefault path protected only by

Patch series "Remove drm/ttm-specific mm changes".
Functionality was added specifically for the DRM TTM driver to support
mapping memory for VM_MIXEDMAP VMAs with customised protection flags,
however this has now been rolled back as issues were found with this
approach.
This series removes the mm changes too, retaining some of the useful
comments.
This patch (of 3):
The sole user of vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), the drm ttm module, stopped
using this in commit f91142c62161 ("drm/ttm: nuke VM_MIXEDMAP on BO
mappings v3") citing use of VM_MIXEDMAP in this case being terribly
broken.
Remove this now-dead code and references to it, but retain the useful
description of the prot != vma->vm_page_prot case, moving it to
vmf_insert_pfn_prot() instead.

All use of this value is now at page granularity, so specify the variable
as such too. This simplifies the logic.
We maintain the debugfs entry to ensure that there are no user-visible
changes.

Patch series "Refactor do_fault_around()"
Refactor do_fault_around() to avoid bitwise tricks and rather difficult to
follow logic. Additionally, prefer fault_around_pages to
fault_around_bytes as the operations are performed at a base page
granularity.
This patch (of 2):
The existing logic is confusing and fails to abstract a number of bitwise
tricks.
Use ALIGN_DOWN() to perform alignment, pte_index() to obtain a PTE index
and represent the address range using PTE offsets, which naturally make it
clear that the operation is intended to occur within only a single PTE and
prevent spanning of more than one page table.
We rely on the fact that fault_around_bytes will always be page-aligned,
at least one page in size, a power of two and that it will not exceed
PAGE_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PTE in size (i.e. the address space mapped by a
PTE). These are all guaranteed by fault_around_bytes_set().

Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4.
The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on
userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes.
It can be useful in two cases:
(1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot,
so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up
protections
(2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1]
It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the
new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the
pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to
service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later.
The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some
change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye
looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes. When
it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file
memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes.
File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of
none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not.
For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we
don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages.
One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without
wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the
holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when
the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros.
QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in
zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1].
Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for
detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2]. In that
case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty
info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the
current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being
cleared).
In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for
anonymous.
This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make
uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory
type is underneath. It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far
because we already have pte markers taking care of that. So it only
affects anonymous.
The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained.
Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will
contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte
markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte
markers. So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first
fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd.
The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand
pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the
new feature bit is set.
Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few
small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults. But
they should be straightforward.
With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all
the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot. Quotting from
Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]:
(1) With huge page disabled
echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 1111453 (pre-fault 1101011)
Test MADVISE: 278276 (pre-fault 266378)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 11712
(2) With Huge page enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 22521 (pre-fault 22348)
Test MADVISE: 4909 (pre-fault 4743)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 14448
There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with
extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE,
but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced
but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially
it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.

Device exclusive page table entries are used to prevent CPU access to a
page whilst it is being accessed from a device. Typically this is used to
implement atomic operations when the underlying bus does not support
atomic access. When a CPU thread encounters a device exclusive entry it
locks the page and restores the original entry after calling mmu notifiers
to signal drivers that exclusive access is no longer available.
The device exclusive entry holds a reference to the page making it safe to
access the struct page whilst the entry is present. However the fault
handling code does not hold the PTL when taking the page lock. This means
if there are multiple threads faulting concurrently on the device
exclusive entry one will remove the entry whilst others will wait on the
page lock without holding a reference.
This can lead to threads locking or waiting on a folio with a zero
refcount. Whilst mmap_lock prevents the pages getting freed via munmap()
they may still be freed by a migration. This leads to warnings such as
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE due to the page being locked when the refcount
drops to zero.
Fix this by trying to take a reference on the folio before locking it.
The code already checks the PTE under the PTL and aborts if the entry is
no longer there. It is also possible the folio has been unmapped, freed
and re-allocated allowing a reference to be taken on an unrelated folio.
This case is also detected by the PTE check and the folio is unlocked
without further changes.

s390 can do more fine-grained handling of spurious TLB protection faults,
when there also is the PTE pointer available.
Therefore, pass on the PTE pointer to flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as an
additional parameter.
This will add no functional change to other architectures, but those with
private flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() implementations need to be made
aware of the new parameter.

Syzbot reports a warning in untrack_pfn(). Digging into the root we found
that this is due to memory allocation failure in pmd_alloc_one. And this
failure is produced due to failslab.
In copy_page_range(), memory alloaction for pmd failed. During the error
handling process in copy_page_range(), mmput() is called to remove all
vmas. While untrack_pfn this empty pfn, warning happens.
Here's a simplified flow:
dup_mm
dup_mmap
copy_page_range
copy_p4d_range
copy_pud_range
copy_pmd_range
pmd_alloc
__pmd_alloc
pmd_alloc_one
page = alloc_pages(gfp, 0);
if (!page)
return NULL;
mmput
exit_mmap
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
untrack_pfn
follow_phys
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
Since this vma is not generate successfully, we can clear flag VM_PAT. In
this case, untrack_pfn() will not be called while cleaning this vma.
Function untrack_pfn_moved() has also been renamed to fit the new logic.

To pick up depended-upon changes
|
|
There are scenarios when vm_flags can be modified without exclusive
mmap_lock, such as:
- after VMA was isolated and mmap_lock was downgraded or dropped
- in exit_mmap when there are no other mm users and locking is unnecessary
Introduce __vm_flags_mod to avoid assertions when the caller takes
responsibility for the required locking.
Pass a hint to untrack_pfn to conditionally use __vm_flags_mod for
flags modification to avoid assertion.

When the kernel copies a page from ksm_might_need_to_copy(), but runs into
an uncorrectable error, it will crash since poisoned page is consumed by
kernel, this is similar to the issue recently fixed by Copy-on-write
poison recovery.
When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
in do_swap_page(), and install a hwpoison entry in unuse_pte() when
swapoff, which help us to avoid system crash. Note, memory failure on a
KSM page will be skipped, but still call memory_failure_queue() to be
consistent with general memory failure process, and we could support KSM
page recovery in the feature.

Add vma_has_recency() to indicate whether a VMA may exhibit temporal
locality that the LRU algorithm relies on.
This function returns false for VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ or
VM_RAND_READ. While the former flag indicates linear access, i.e., a
special case of spatial locality, both flags indicate a lack of temporal
locality, i.e., the reuse of an area within a relatively small duration.
"Recency" is chosen over "locality" to avoid confusion between temporal
and spatial localities.
Before this patch, the active/inactive LRU only ignored the accessed bit
from VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ. After this patch, the active/inactive
LRU and MGLRU share the same logic: they both ignore the accessed bit if
vma_has_recency() returns false.
For the active/inactive LRU, the following fio test showed a [6, 8]%
increase in IOPS when randomly accessing mapped files under memory
pressure.
kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo)
kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024))

zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.
Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

Patch series "Convert deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate()", v4.
Deactivate_page() has already been converted to use folios. This patch
series modifies the callers of deactivate_page() to use folios. It also
introduces vm_normal_folio() to assist with folio conversions, and
converts deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate() which takes in a folio.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a wrapper function called vm_normal_folio(). This function
calls vm_normal_page() and returns the folio of the page found, or null if
no page is found.
This function allows callers to get a folio from a pte, which will
eventually allow them to completely replace their struct page variables
with struct folio instead.

This patch is a cleanup to always wr-protect pte/pmd in mkuffd_wp paths.
The reasons I still think this patch is worthwhile, are:
(1) It is a cleanup already; diffstat tells.
(2) It just feels natural after I thought about this, if the pte is uffd
protected, let's remove the write bit no matter what it was.
(2) Since x86 is the only arch that supports uffd-wp, it also redefines
pte|pmd_mkuffd_wp() in that it should always contain removals of
write bits. It means any future arch that want to implement uffd-wp
should naturally follow this rule too. It's good to make it a
default, even if with vm_page_prot changes on VM_UFFD_WP.
(3) It covers more than vm_page_prot. So no chance of any potential
future "accident" (like pte_mkdirty() sparc64 or loongarch, even
though it just got its pte_mkdirty fixed <1 month ago). It'll be
fairly clear when reading the code too that we don't worry anything
before a pte_mkuffd_wp() on uncertainty of the write bit.
We may call pte_wrprotect() one more time in some paths (e.g. thp split),
but that should be fully local bitop instruction so the overhead should be
negligible.
Although this patch should logically also fix all the known issues on
uffd-wp too recently on page migration (not for numa hint recovery - that
may need another explcit pte_wrprotect), but this is not the plan for that
fix. So no fixes, and stable doesn't need this.

This patch should harden commit 15520a3f0469 ("mm: use pte markers for
swap errors") on using pte markers for swapin errors on a few corner
cases.
1. Propagate swapin errors across fork()s: if there're swapin errors in
the parent mm, after fork()s the child should sigbus too when an error
page is accessed.
2. Fix a rare condition race in pte_marker_clear() where a uffd-wp pte
marker can be quickly switched to a swapin error.
3. Explicitly ignore swapin error pte markers in change_protection().
I mostly don't worry on (2) or (3) at all, but we should still have them.
Case (1) is special because it can potentially cause silent data corrupt
on child when parent has swapin error triggered with swapoff, but since
swapin error is rare itself already it's probably not easy to trigger
either.
Currently there is a priority difference between the uffd-wp bit and the
swapin error entry, in which the swapin error always has higher priority
(e.g. we don't need to wr-protect a swapin error pte marker).
If there will be a 3rd bit introduced, we'll probably need to consider a
more involved approach so we may need to start operate on the bits. Let's
leave that for later.
This patch is tested with case (1) explicitly where we'll get corrupted
data before in the child if there's existing swapin error pte markers, and
after patch applied the child can be rightfully killed.
We don't need to copy stable for this one since 15520a3f0469 just landed
as part of v6.2-rc1, only "Fixes" applied.

Patch series "mm: Fixes on pte markers".
Patch 1 resolves the syzkiller report from Pengfei.
Patch 2 further harden pte markers when used with the recent swapin error
markers. The major case is we should persist a swapin error marker after
fork(), so child shouldn't read a corrupted page.
This patch (of 2):
When fork(), dst_vma is not guaranteed to have VM_UFFD_WP even if src may
have it and has pte marker installed. The warning is improper along with
the comment. The right thing is to inherit the pte marker when needed, or
keep the dst pte empty.
A vague guess is this happened by an accident when there's the prior patch
to introduce src/dst vma into this helper during the uffd-wp feature got
developed and I probably messed up in the rebase, since if we replace
dst_vma with src_vma the warning & comment it all makes sense too.
Hugetlb did exactly the right here (copy_hugetlb_page_range()). Fix the
general path.

Extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE to break COW on anything mapped into a
COW (i.e., private writable) mapping and adjust the documentation
accordingly.
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will now also break COW when encountering the shared
zeropage, a pagecache page, a PFNMAP, ... inside a COW mapping, by
properly replacing the mapped page/pfn by a private copy (an exclusive
anonymous page).
Note that only do_wp_page() needs care: hugetlb_wp() already handles
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE correctly. wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud() also handles it
correctly, for example, splitting the huge zeropage on FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE
such that we can handle FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE on the PTE level.
This change is a requirement for reliable long-term R/O pinning in
COW mappings.

Let's just split (->zap) + fallback in that case.

Let's catch abuse of FAULT_FLAG_WRITE early, such that we don't have to
care in all other handlers and might get "surprises" if we forget to do
so.
Write faults without VM_MAYWRITE don't make any sense, and our
maybe_mkwrite() logic could have hidden such abuse for now.
Write faults without VM_WRITE on something that is not a COW mapping is
similarly broken, and e.g., do_wp_page() could end up placing an
anonymous page into a shared mapping, which would be bad.
This is a preparation for reliable R/O long-term pinning of pages in
private mappings, whereby we want to make sure that we will never break
COW in a read-only private mapping.

dealing with a COW mapping, such that we treat it like a read fault as
documented and don't have to worry about the flag throughout all fault

While at it, centralize the check for mutual exclusion of

either flag is set in the WP handler.

When we remove a page table entry, we are very careful to only free the
page after we have flushed the TLB, because other CPUs could still be
using the page through stale TLB entries until after the flush.
However, we have removed the rmap entry for that page early, which means
that functions like folio_mkclean() would end up not serializing with the
page table lock because the page had already been made invisible to rmap.
And that is a problem, because while the TLB entry exists, we could end up
with the following situation:
(a) one CPU could come in and clean it, never seeing our mapping of the
page
(b) another CPU could continue to use the stale and dirty TLB entry and
continue to write to said page
resulting in a page that has been dirtied, but then marked clean again,
all while another CPU might have dirtied it some more.
End result: possibly lost dirty data.
This extends our current TLB gather infrastructure to optionally track a
"should I do a delayed page_remove_rmap() for this page after flushing the
TLB". It uses the newly introduced 'encoded page pointer' to do that
without having to keep separate data around.
Note, this is complicated by a couple of issues:
- we want to delay the rmap removal, but not past the page table lock,
because that simplifies the memcg accounting
- only SMP configurations want to delay TLB flushing, since on UP
there are obviously no remote TLBs to worry about, and the page
table lock means there are no preemption issues either
- s390 has its own mmu_gather model that doesn't delay TLB flushing,
and as a result also does not want the delayed rmap. As such, we can
treat S390 like the UP case and use a common fallback for the "no
delays" case.
- we can track an enormous number of pages in our mmu_gather structure,
with MAX_GATHER_BATCH_COUNT batches of MAX_TABLE_BATCH pages each,
all set up to be approximately 10k pending pages.
We do not want to have a huge number of batched pages that we then
need to check for delayed rmap handling inside the page table lock.
Particularly that last point results in a noteworthy detail, where the
normal page batch gathering is limited once we have delayed rmaps pending,
in such a way that only the last batch (the so-called "active batch") in
the mmu_gather structure can have any delayed entries.
NOTE! While the "possibly lost dirty data" sounds catastrophic, for this
all to happen you need to have a user thread doing either madvise() with
MADV_DONTNEED or a full re-mmap() of the area concurrently with another
thread continuing to use said mapping.
So arguably this is about user space doing crazy things, but from a VM
consistency standpoint it's better if we track the dirty bit properly even
when user space goes off the rails.

commit b191f9b106ea ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a
NUMA hinting fault") added remembering write permissions using ordinary
pte_write() for PROT_NONE mapped pages to avoid write faults when
remapping the page !PROT_NONE on NUMA hinting faults.
That commit noted:
The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.
Later, commit 288bc54949fc ("mm/autonuma: let architecture override how
the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.") introduced a family
of savedwrite PTE functions that didn't necessarily improve the whole
situation.
One confusing thing is that nowadays, if a page is pte_protnone()
and pte_savedwrite() then also pte_write() is true. Another source of
confusion is that there is only a single pte_mk_savedwrite() call in the
kernel. All other write-protection code seems to silently rely on
pte_wrprotect().
Ever since PageAnonExclusive was introduced and we started using it in
mprotect context via commit 64fe24a3e05e ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write
faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection"), we do
have machinery in place to avoid write faults when changing protection,
which is exactly what we want to do here.
Let's similarly do what ordinary mprotect() does nowadays when upgrading
write permissions and reuse can_change_pte_writable() and
can_change_pmd_writable() to detect if we can upgrade PTE permissions to be
writable.
For anonymous pages there should be absolutely no change: if an
anonymous page is not exclusive, it could not have been mapped writable --
because only exclusive anonymous pages can be mapped writable.
However, there *might* be a change for writable shared mappings that
require writenotify: if they are not dirty, we cannot map them writable.
While it might not matter in practice, we'd need a different way to
identify whether writenotify is actually required -- and ordinary mprotect
would benefit from that as well.
Note that we don't optimize for the actual migration case:
(1) When migration succeeds the new PTE will not be writable because the
source PTE was not writable (protnone); in the future we
might just optimize that case similarly by reusing
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() when removing
migration PTEs.
(2) When migration fails, we'd have to recalculate the "writable" flag
because we temporarily dropped the PT lock; for now keep it simple and

PTE markers are ideal mechanism for things like SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR. Using a
whole swap entry type for this purpose can be an overkill, especially if
we already have PTE markers. Define a new bit for swapin error and
replace it with pte markers. Then we can safely drop SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR and
give one device slot back to swap.
We used to have SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR taking the page pfn as part of the swap
entry, but it's never used. Neither do I see how it can be useful because
normally the swapin failure should not be caused by a bad page but bad
swap device. Drop it alongside.

Patch series "mm: Use pte marker for swapin errors".
This series uses the pte marker to replace the swapin error swap entry,
then we save one more swap entry slot for swap devices. A new pte marker
bit is defined.
This patch (of 2):
The PTE markers code is tiny and now it's enabled for most of the
distributions. It's fine to keep it as-is, but to make a broader use of
it (e.g. replacing read error swap entry) it needs to be there always
otherwise we need special code path to take care of !PTE_MARKER case.
It'll be easier just make pte marker always exist. Use this chance to
extend its usage to anonymous too by simply touching up some of the old
comments, because it'll be used for anonymous pages in the follow up
patches.

Cannot call memory_failure() directly from the fault handler because
mmap_lock (and others) are held.
It is important, but not urgent, to mark the source page as h/w poisoned
and unmap it from other tasks.
Use memory_failure_queue() to request a call to memory_failure() for the
page with the error.
Also provide a stub version for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE=n

Patch series "Copy-on-write poison recovery", v3.
Part 1 deals with the process that triggered the copy on write fault with
a store to a shared read-only page. That process is send a SIGBUS with
the usual machine check decoration to specify the virtual address of the
lost page, together with the scope.
Part 2 sets up to asynchronously take the page with the uncorrected error
offline to prevent additional machine check faults. H/t to Miaohe Lin
<linmiaohe@huawei.com> and Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> for
pointing me to the existing function to queue a call to memory_failure().
On x86 there is some duplicate reporting (because the error is also
signalled by the memory controller as well as by the core that triggered
the machine check). Console logs look like this:
This patch (of 2):
If the kernel is copying a page as the result of a copy-on-write
fault and runs into an uncorrectable error, Linux will crash because
it does not have recovery code for this case where poison is consumed
by the kernel.
It is easy to set up a test case. Just inject an error into a private
page, fork(2), and have the child process write to the page.
I wrapped that neatly into a test at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/ras-tools.git
just enable ACPI error injection and run:
# ./einj_mem-uc -f copy-on-write
Add a new copy_user_highpage_mc() function that uses copy_mc_to_kernel()
on architectures where that is available (currently x86 and powerpc).
When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
to caller of wp_page_copy(). This propagates up the call stack. Both x86
and powerpc have code in their fault handler to deal with this code by
sending a SIGBUS to the application.
Note that this patch avoids a system crash and signals the process that
triggered the copy-on-write action. It does not take any action for the
memory error that is still in the shared page. To handle that a call to
memory_failure() is needed. But this cannot be done from wp_page_copy()
because it holds mmap_lock(). Perhaps the architecture fault handlers
can deal with this loose end in a subsequent patch?
On Intel/x86 this loose end will often be handled automatically because
the memory controller provides an additional notification of the h/w
poison in memory, the handler for this will call memory_failure(). This
isn't a 100% solution. If there are multiple errors, not all may be
logged in this way.
[tony.luck@intel.com: add call to kmsan_unpoison_memory(), per Miaohe Lin]

Currently mm_struct maintains rss_stats which are updated on page fault
and the unmapping codepaths. For page fault codepath the updates are
cached per thread with the batch of TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH which is 64.
The reason for caching is performance for multithreaded applications
otherwise the rss_stats updates may become hotspot for such applications.
However this optimization comes with the cost of error margin in the rss
stats. The rss_stats for applications with large number of threads can be
very skewed. At worst the error margin is (nr_threads * 64) and we have a
lot of applications with 100s of threads, so the error margin can be very
high. Internally we had to reduce TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH to 32.
Recently we started seeing the unbounded errors for rss_stats for specific
applications which use TCP rx0cp. It seems like vm_insert_pages()
codepath does not sync rss_stats at all.
This patch converts the rss_stats into percpu_counter to convert the error
margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately (nr_cpus ^ 2). However
this conversion enable us to get the accurate stats for situations where
accuracy is more important than the cpu cost.
This patch does not make such tradeoffs - we can just use
percpu_counter_add_local() for the updates and percpu_counter_sum() (or
percpu_counter_sync() + percpu_counter_read) for the readers. At the
moment the readers are either procfs interface, oom_killer and memory
reclaim which I think are not performance critical and should be ok with
slow read. However I think we can make that change in a separate patch.

madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) ends up calling zap_page_range() to clear page
tables associated with the address range. For hugetlb vmas,
zap_page_range will call __unmap_hugepage_range_final. However,
__unmap_hugepage_range_final assumes the passed vma is about to be removed
and deletes the vma_lock to prevent pmd sharing as the vma is on the way
out. In the case of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the vma remains, but the
missing vma_lock prevents pmd sharing and could potentially lead to issues
with truncation/fault races.
This issue was originally reported here [1] as a BUG triggered in
page_try_dup_anon_rmap. Prior to the introduction of the hugetlb
vma_lock, __unmap_hugepage_range_final cleared the VM_MAYSHARE flag to
prevent pmd sharing. Subsequent faults on this vma were confused as
VM_MAYSHARE indicates a sharable vma, but was not set so page_mapping was
not set in new pages added to the page table. This resulted in pages that
appeared anonymous in a VM_SHARED vma and triggered the BUG.
Address issue by adding a new zap flag ZAP_FLAG_UNMAP to indicate an unmap
call from unmap_vmas(). This is used to indicate the 'final' unmapping of
a hugetlb vma. When called via MADV_DONTNEED, this flag is not set and
the vm_lock is not deleted.

This series addresses the issue first reported in [1], and fully described
in patch 2. Patches 1 and 2 address the user visible issue and are tagged
for stable backports.
While exploring solutions to this issue, related problems with mmu
notification calls were discovered. This is addressed in the patch
"hugetlb: remove duplicate mmu notifications:". Since there are no user
visible effects, this third is not tagged for stable backports.
Previous discussions suggested further cleanup by removing the
routine zap_page_range. This is possible because zap_page_range_single
is now exported, and all callers of zap_page_range pass ranges entirely
within a single vma. This work will be done in a later patch so as not
to distract from this bug fix.

This patch (of 2):
Expose the routine zap_page_range_single to zap a range within a single
vma. The madvise routine madvise_dontneed_single_vma can use this routine
as it explicitly operates on a single vma. Also, update the mmu
notification range in zap_page_range_single to take hugetlb pmd sharing
into account. This is required as MADV_DONTNEED supports hugetlb vmas.
