commit 029c4628b2eb2ca969e9bf979b05dc18d8d5575e upstream.

In our testing, a livelock task was found.  Through sysrq printing, same
stack was found every time, as follows:

  __swap_duplicate+0x58/0x1a0
  swapcache_prepare+0x24/0x30
  __read_swap_cache_async+0xac/0x220
  read_swap_cache_async+0x58/0xa0
  swapin_readahead+0x24c/0x628
  do_swap_page+0x374/0x8a0
  __handle_mm_fault+0x598/0xd60
  handle_mm_fault+0x114/0x200
  do_page_fault+0x148/0x4d0
  do_translation_fault+0xb0/0xd4
  do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0

The reason for the livelock is that swapcache_prepare() always returns
EEXIST, indicating that SWAP_HAS_CACHE has not been cleared, so that it
cannot jump out of the loop.  We suspect that the task that clears the
SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag never gets a chance to run.  We try to lower the
priority of the task stuck in a livelock so that the task that clears
the SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag will run.  The results show that the system
returns to normal after the priority is lowered.

In our testing, multiple real-time tasks are bound to the same core, and
the task in the livelock is the highest priority task of the core, so
the livelocked task cannot be preempted.

Although cond_resched() is used by __read_swap_cache_async, it is an
empty function in the preemptive system and cannot achieve the purpose
of releasing the CPU.  A high-priority task cannot release the CPU
unless preempted by a higher-priority task.  But when this task is
already the highest priority task on this core, other tasks will not be
able to be scheduled.  So we think we should replace cond_resched() with
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1), schedule_timeout_interruptible will
call set_current_state first to set the task state, so the task will be
removed from the running queue, so as to achieve the purpose of giving
up the CPU and prevent it from running in kernel mode for too long.

(akpm: ugly hack becomes uglier.  But it fixes the issue in a
backportable-to-stable fashion while we hopefully work on something
better)

commit f2b277c4d1c63a85127e8aa2588e9cc3bd21cb99 upstream.

Wangyong reports: after enabling tmpfs filesystem to support transparent
hugepage with the following command:

  echo always &gt; /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled

the docker program tries to add F_SEAL_WRITE through the following
command, but it fails unexpectedly with errno EBUSY:

  fcntl(5, F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_WRITE) = -1.

That is because memfd_tag_pins() and memfd_wait_for_pins() were never
updated for shmem huge pages: checking page_mapcount() against
page_count() is hopeless on THP subpages - they need to check
total_mapcount() against page_count() on THP heads only.

Make memfd_tag_pins() (compared &gt; 1) as strict as memfd_wait_for_pins()
(compared != 1): either can be justified, but given the non-atomic
total_mapcount() calculation, it is better now to be strict.  Bear in
mind that total_mapcount() itself scans all of the THP subpages, when
choosing to take an XA_CHECK_SCHED latency break.

Also fix the unlikely xa_is_value() case in memfd_wait_for_pins(): if a
page has been swapped out since memfd_tag_pins(), then its refcount must
have fallen, and so it can safely be untagged.

<title>mm: Consider __GFP_NOWARN flag for oversized kvmalloc() calls</title>

commit 0708a0afe291bdfe1386d74d5ec1f0c27e8b9168 upstream.

syzkaller was recently triggering an oversized kvmalloc() warning via
xdp_umem_create().

The triggered warning was added back in 7661809d493b ("mm: don't allow
oversized kvmalloc() calls"). The rationale for the warning for huge
kvmalloc sizes was as a reaction to a security bug where the size was
more than UINT_MAX but not everything was prepared to handle unsigned
long sizes.

Anyway, the AF_XDP related call trace from this syzkaller report was:

  kvmalloc include/linux/mm.h:806 [inline]
  kvmalloc_array include/linux/mm.h:824 [inline]
  kvcalloc include/linux/mm.h:829 [inline]

  do_syscall_64+0x35/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

Björn mentioned that requests for &gt;2GB allocation can still be valid:

  The structure that is being allocated is the page-pinning accounting.
  AF_XDP has an internal limit of U32_MAX pages, which is *a lot*, but
  still fewer than what memcg allows (PAGE_COUNTER_MAX is a LONG_MAX/
  PAGE_SIZE on 64 bit systems). [...]

  I could just change from U32_MAX to INT_MAX, but as I stated earlier
  that has a hacky feeling to it. [...] From my perspective, the code
  isn't broken, with the memcg limits in consideration. [...]

Linus says:

  [...] Pretty much every time this has come up, the kernel warning has
  shown that yes, the code was broken and there really wasn't a reason
  for doing allocations that big.

  Of course, some people would be perfectly fine with the allocation
  failing, they just don't want the warning. I didn't want __GFP_NOWARN
  to shut it up originally because I wanted people to see all those
  cases, but these days I think we can just say "yeah, people can shut
  it up explicitly by saying 'go ahead and fail this allocation, don't
  warn about it'".

  So enough time has passed that by now I'd certainly be ok with [it].

Thus allow call-sites to silence such userspace triggered splats if the
allocation requests have __GFP_NOWARN. For xdp_umem_pin_pages()'s call
to kvcalloc() this is already the case, so nothing else needed there.

memblock.{reserved,memory}.regions may be allocated using kmalloc() in
memblock_double_array(). Use kfree() to release these kmalloced regions
indicated by memblock_{reserved,memory}_in_slab.

<title>mm: don't try to NUMA-migrate COW pages that have other uses</title>

commit 80d47f5de5e311cbc0d01ebb6ee684e8f4c196c6 upstream.

Oded Gabbay reports that enabling NUMA balancing causes corruption with
his Gaudi accelerator test load:

 "All the details are in the bug, but the bottom line is that somehow,
  this patch causes corruption when the numa balancing feature is
  enabled AND we don't use process affinity AND we use GUP to pin pages
  so our accelerator can DMA to/from system memory.

  Either disabling numa balancing, using process affinity to bind to
  specific numa-node or reverting this patch causes the bug to
  disappear"

and Oded bisected the issue to commit 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page()
simplification").

Now, the NUMA balancing shouldn't actually be changing the writability
of a page, and as such shouldn't matter for COW.  But it appears it
does.  Suspicious.

However, regardless of that, the condition for enabling NUMA faults in
change_pte_range() is nonsensical.  It uses "page_mapcount(page)" to
decide if a COW page should be NUMA-protected or not, and that makes
absolutely no sense.

The number of mappings a page has is irrelevant: not only does GUP get a
reference to a page as in Oded's case, but the other mappings migth be
paged out and the only reference to them would be in the page count.

Since we should never try to NUMA-balance a page that we can't move
anyway due to other references, just fix the code to use 'page_count()'.
Oded confirms that that fixes his issue.

Now, this does imply that something in NUMA balancing ends up changing
page protections (other than the obvious one of making the page
inaccessible to get the NUMA faulting information).  Otherwise the COW
simplification wouldn't matter - since doing the GUP on the page would
make sure it's writable.

The cause of that permission change would be good to figure out too,
since it clearly results in spurious COW events - but fixing the
nonsensical test that just happened to work before is obviously the
CorrectThing(tm) to do regardless.

          INFO: lockdep is turned off.

In this example a slab allocation from __send_signal() caused a
refilling and draining of a percpu objcg stock, resulted in a releasing
of another non-related objcg.  Objcg release path requires taking the
css_set_lock, which is used to synchronize objcg lists.

This can create a circular dependency with the sighandler lock, which is
taken with the locked css_set_lock by the freezer code (to freeze a
task).

In general it seems that using css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists
makes any slab allocations and deallocation with the locked css_set_lock
and any intervened locks risky.

To fix the problem and make the code more robust let's stop using
css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists and use a new dedicated spinlock
instead.

In this example a slab allocation from __send_signal() caused a
refilling and draining of a percpu objcg stock, resulted in a releasing
of another non-related objcg.  Objcg release path requires taking the
css_set_lock, which is used to synchronize objcg lists.

This can create a circular dependency with the sighandler lock, which is
taken with the locked css_set_lock by the freezer code (to freeze a
task).

In general it seems that using css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists
makes any slab allocations and deallocation with the locked css_set_lock
and any intervened locks risky.

To fix the problem and make the code more robust let's stop using
css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists and use a new dedicated spinlock
instead.

<title>mm/kmemleak: avoid scanning potential huge holes</title>

commit c10a0f877fe007021d70f9cada240f42adc2b5db upstream.

When using devm_request_free_mem_region() and devm_memremap_pages() to
add ZONE_DEVICE memory, if requested free mem region's end pfn were
huge(e.g., 0x400000000), the node_end_pfn() will be also huge (see
move_pfn_range_to_zone()).  Thus it creates a huge hole between
node_start_pfn() and node_end_pfn().

We found on some AMD APUs, amdkfd requested such a free mem region and
created a huge hole.  In such a case, following code snippet was just
doing busy test_bit() looping on the huge hole.

  for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn &lt; end_pfn; pfn++) {
	struct page *page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
		if (!page)
			continue;
	...
  }

So we got a soft lockup:

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 26s! [bash:1221]

commit fb5222aae64fe25e5f3ebefde8214dcf3ba33ca5 upstream.

Patch series "page table check fixes and cleanups", v5.

This patch (of 4):

The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.

The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:

CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y

During the boot the following BUG is printed:

  debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable         ]: Validating architecture page table helpers
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:162!

  ...

The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page
is released to the free list.

commit 87c01d57fa23de82fff593a7d070933d08755801 upstream.

hmm_range_fault() can be used instead of get_user_pages() for devices
which allow faulting however unlike get_user_pages() it will return an
error when used on a VM_MIXEDMAP range.

To make hmm_range_fault() more closely match get_user_pages() remove
this restriction.  This requires dealing with the !ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
case in hmm_vma_handle_pte().  Rather than replicating the logic of
vm_normal_page() call it directly and do a check for the zero pfn
similar to what get_user_pages() currently does.

Also add a test to hmm selftest to verify functionality.

<title>shmem: fix a race between shmem_unused_huge_shrink and shmem_evict_inode</title>

commit 62c9827cbb996c2c04f615ecd783ce28bcea894b upstream.

Fix a data race in commit 779750d20b93 ("shmem: split huge pages beyond
i_size under memory pressure").

Here are call traces causing race:

   Call Trace 1:
     shmem_unused_huge_shrink+0x3ae/0x410
     ? __list_lru_walk_one.isra.5+0x33/0x160

     ? kthread_create_on_node+0x70/0x70
     ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

   Call Trace 2:
     shmem_evict_inode+0xd8/0x190
     evict+0xbe/0x1c0
     do_unlinkat+0x137/0x330
     do_syscall_64+0x76/0x120
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

A simple explanation:

Image there are 3 items in the local list (@list).  In the first
traversal, A is not deleted from @list.

  1)    A-&gt;B-&gt;C
        ^
        |
        pos (leave)

In the second traversal, B is deleted from @list.  Concurrently, A is
deleted from @list through shmem_evict_inode() since last reference
counter of inode is dropped by other thread.  Then the @list is corrupted.

  2)    A-&gt;B-&gt;C
        ^  ^
        |  |
     evict pos (drop)

We should make sure the inode is either on the global list or deleted from
any local list before iput().

Fixed by moving inodes back to global list before we put them.

commit 62c9827cbb996c2c04f615ecd783ce28bcea894b upstream.

Fix a data race in commit 779750d20b93 ("shmem: split huge pages beyond
i_size under memory pressure").

Here are call traces causing race:

   Call Trace 1:
     shmem_unused_huge_shrink+0x3ae/0x410
     ? __list_lru_walk_one.isra.5+0x33/0x160
     super_cache_scan+0x17c/0x190
     shrink_slab.part.55+0x1ef/0x3f0
     shrink_node+0x10e/0x330
     kswapd+0x380/0x740
     kthread+0xfc/0x130
     ? mem_cgroup_shrink_node+0x170/0x170
     ? kthread_create_on_node+0x70/0x70
     ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

   Call Trace 2:
     shmem_evict_inode+0xd8/0x190
     evict+0xbe/0x1c0
     do_unlinkat+0x137/0x330
     do_syscall_64+0x76/0x120
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

A simple explanation:

Image there are 3 items in the local list (@list).  In the first
traversal, A is not deleted from @list.

  1)    A-&gt;B-&gt;C
        ^
        |
        pos (leave)

In the second traversal, B is deleted from @list.  Concurrently, A is
deleted from @list through shmem_evict_inode() since last reference
counter of inode is dropped by other thread.  Then the @list is corrupted.

  2)    A-&gt;B-&gt;C
        ^  ^
        |  |
     evict pos (drop)

We should make sure the inode is either on the global list or deleted from
any local list before iput().

Fixed by moving inodes back to global list before we put them.
