commit 2a57d83c78f889bf3f54eede908d0643c40d5418 upstream.
Hulk Robot reported a panic in put_page_testzero() when testing
madvise() with MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE. The BUG() is triggered when retrying
get_any_page(). This is because we keep MF_COUNT_INCREASED flag in
second try but the refcnt is not increased.
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)

commit 3f4b815a439adfb8f238335612c4b28bc10084d8 upstream.
Currently, we return -EIO when we fail to migrate the page.
Migrations' failures are rather transient as they can happen due to
several reasons, e.g: high page refcount bump, mapping->migrate_page
failing etc. All meaning that at that time the page could not be
migrated, but that has nothing to do with an EIO error.
Let us return -EBUSY instead, as we do in case we failed to isolate the
page.
While are it, let us remove the "ret" print as its value does not change.

A crash dump of this problem show that someone called __munlock_pagevec
to clear page LRU without lock_page: do_mmap -> mmap_region -> do_munmap
-> munlock_vma_pages_range -> __munlock_pagevec.
As a result memory_failure will call identify_page_state without
wait_on_page_writeback. And after truncate_error_page clear the mapping
of this page. end_page_writeback won't call sb_clear_inode_writeback to
clear inode->i_wb_list. That will trigger BUG_ON in clear_inode!
Fix it by checking PageWriteback too to help determine should we skip
wait_on_page_writeback.

It appears that unmap_mapping_range() actually takes a 'size' as its third

unnecessary amount of unmapping to occur.

[ Upstream commit 34dc45be4563f344d59ba0428416d0d265aa4f4d ]
Given 'struct dev_pagemap' spans both data pages and metadata pages be
careful to consult the altmap if present to delineate metadata. In fact
the pfn_first() helper already identifies the first valid data pfn, so
export that helper for other code paths via pgmap_pfn_valid().
Other usage of get_dev_pagemap() are not a concern because those are
operating on known data pfns having been looked up by get_user_pages().
I.e. metadata pfns are never user mapped.

[ Upstream commit 1e8aaedb182d6ddffc894b832e4962629907b3e0 ]
madvise_inject_error() uses get_user_pages_fast to translate the address
we specified to a page. After [1], we drop the extra reference count for
memory_failure() path. That commit says that memory_failure wanted to
keep the pin in order to take the page out of circulation.
The truth is that we need to keep the page pinned, otherwise the page
might be re-used after the put_page() and we can end up messing with
someone else's memory.
E.g:
CPU0
process X CPU1
madvise_inject_error
get_user_pages
put_page
page gets reclaimed
process Y allocates the page
memory_failure
// We mess with process Y memory
madvise() is meant to operate on a self address space, so messing with
pages that do not belong to us seems the wrong thing to do.
To avoid that, let us keep the page pinned for memory_failure as well.
Pages for DAX mappings will release this extra refcount in
memory_failure_dev_pagemap.

[ Upstream commit 013339df116c2ee0d796dd8bfb8f293a2030c063 ]
Since commit 369ea8242c0f ("mm/rmap: update to new mmu_notifier semantic
v2"), the code to check the secondary MMU's page table access bit is
broken for !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) because the page is unmapped from the
secondary MMU's page table before the check. More specifically for those
secondary MMUs which unmap the memory in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() like kvm.
However memory reclaim is the only user of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) or the
absence of TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS and it explicitly performs the page table
access check before trying to unmap the page. So, at worst the reclaim
will miss accesses in a very short window if we remove page table access
check in unmapping code.
There is an unintented consequence of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) for the memcg
reclaim. From memcg reclaim the page_referenced() only account the
accesses from the processes which are in the same memcg of the target page
but the unmapping code is considering accesses from all the processes, so,
decreasing the effectiveness of memcg reclaim.
The simplest solution is to always assume TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS in unmapping
code.

Hugh Dickins diagnosed this as a migration bug caused by code introduced
to use i_mmap_rwsem for pmd sharing synchronization. Specifically, the
routine unmap_and_move_huge_page() is always passing the TTU_RMAP_LOCKED
flag to try_to_unmap() while holding i_mmap_rwsem. This is wrong for
anon pages as the anon_vma_lock should be held in this case. Further
analysis suggested that i_mmap_rwsem was not required to he held at all
when calling try_to_unmap for anon pages as an anon page could never be
part of a shared pmd mapping.
Discussion also revealed that the hack in hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write
to drop page lock and acquire i_mmap_rwsem is wrong. There is no way to
keep mapping valid while dropping page lock.
This patch does the following:
- Do not take i_mmap_rwsem and set TTU_RMAP_LOCKED for anon pages when
calling try_to_unmap.
- Remove the hacky code in hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write. The routine
will now simply do a 'trylock' while still holding the page lock. If
the trylock fails, it will return NULL. This could impact the
callers:
- migration calling code will receive -EAGAIN and retry up to the
hard coded limit (10).
- memory error code will treat the page as BUSY. This will force
killing (SIGKILL) instead of SIGBUS any mapping tasks.
Do note that this change in behavior only happens when there is a
race. None of the standard kernel testing suites actually hit this
race, but it is possible.

Aristeu Rozanski reported that a customer test case started to report
-EBUSY after the hwpoison rework patchset.
There is a race window between spotting a free page and taking it off its
buddy freelist, so it might be that by the time we try to take it off, the
page has been already allocated.
This patch tries to handle such race window by trying to handle the new
type of page again if the page was allocated under us.

Soft offlining could fail with EIO due to the race condition with hugepage
migration. This issuse became visible due to the change by previous patch
that makes soft offline handler take page refcount by its own. We have no
way to directly pin zero refcount page, and the page considered as a zero
refcount page could be allocated just after the first check.
This patch adds the second check to find the race and gives us chance to
handle it more reliably.

Currently, there is an inconsistency when calling soft-offline from
different paths on a page that is already poisoned.
1) madvise:
madvise_inject_error skips any poisoned page and continues
the loop.
If that was the only page to madvise, it returns 0.
2) /sys/devices/system/memory/:
When calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page(),
we return -EBUSY in case the page is already poisoned.
This is inconsistent with a) the above example and b)
memory_failure, where we return 0 if the page was poisoned.
Fix this by dropping the PageHWPoison() check in madvise_inject_error, and
let soft_offline_page return 0 if it finds the page already poisoned.
Please, note that this represents a user-api change, since now the return
error when calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page() will be
different.

This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages. Until
now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that
the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and
would skip that page.
This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like
compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist.
Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the
buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that
are ready and meant to be used as such.
Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages
we can soft offline.
- Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages)
- Hugetlb
- Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited)
* Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP)
- If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate
then by means of invalidate_inode_page().
- If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance.
Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths. Instead, we
keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right
handling.
page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page.
Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in
free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages
do not end up in any pcplist/freelist.
After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment
the poisoned pages counter.
If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can
always do what we do for free pages:
- wait until the page hits buddy's freelists
- take it off, and flag it
The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an
allocation, so by the time we want to take the page off the buddy, the
page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it.
But the user could always retry it.
* Hugetlb pages
- We isolate-and-migrate them
After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page,
and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed.
Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though.
While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an
allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional
and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other
places).
So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail
normally if the page we allocated in the meantime.
We can always build on top of this.
As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer
need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned
pages to end up in pcplists.

When trying to soft-offline a free page, we need to first take it off the
buddy allocator. Once we know is out of reach, we can safely flag it as
poisoned.
take_page_off_buddy will be used to take a page meant to be poisoned off
the buddy allocator. take_page_off_buddy calls break_down_buddy_pages,
which splits a higher-order page in case our page belongs to one.
Once the page is under our control, we call page_handle_poison to set it
as poisoned and grab a refcount on it.

Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offline rework", v7.
This patchset fixes a couple of issues that the patchset Naoya sent [1]
contained due to rebasing problems and a misunterdansting.
Main focus of this series is to stabilize soft offline. Historically soft
offlined pages have suffered from racy conditions because PageHWPoison is
used to a little too aggressively, which (directly or indirectly) invades
other mm code which cares little about hwpoison. This results in
unexpected behavior or kernel panic, which is very far from soft offline's
"do not disturb userspace or other kernel component" policy. An example
of this can be found here [2].
Along with several cleanups, this code refactors and changes the way soft
offline work. Main point of this change set is to contain target page
"via buddy allocator" or in migrating path. For ther former we first free
the target page as we do for normal pages, and once it has reached buddy
and it has been taken off the freelists, we flag it as HWpoison. For the
latter we never get to release the page in unmap_and_move, so the page is
under our control and we can handle it in hwpoison code.
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11704083/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190826104144.GA7849@linux/T/#u
This patch (of 14):
Drop the PageHuge check, which is dead code since memory_failure() forks
into memory_failure_hugetlb() for hugetlb pages.
memory_failure() and memory_failure_hugetlb() shares some functions like
hwpoison_user_mappings() and identify_page_state(), so they should
properly handle 4kB page, thp, and hugetlb.

There are some similar functions for migration target allocation. Since
there is no fundamental difference, it's better to keep just one rather
than keeping all variants. This patch implements base migration target
allocation function. In the following patches, variants will be converted
to use this function.
Changes should be mechanical, but, unfortunately, there are some
differences. First, some callers' nodemask is assgined to NULL since NULL
nodemask will be considered as all available nodes, that is,
&node_states[N_MEMORY]. Second, for hugetlb page allocation, gfp_mask is
redefined as regular hugetlb allocation gfp_mask plus __GFP_THISNODE if
user provided gfp_mask has it. This is because future caller of this
function requires to set this node constaint. Lastly, if provided nodeid
is NUMA_NO_NODE, nodeid is set up to the node where migration source
lives. It helps to remove simple wrappers for setting up the nodeid.
Note that PageHighmem() call in previous function is changed to open-code
"is_highmem_idx()" since it provides more readability.

Action Required memory error should happen only when a processor is
about to access to a corrupted memory, so it's synchronous and only
affects current process/thread.
Recently commit 872e9a205c84 ("mm, memory_failure: don't send
BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error") fixed the issue that Action
Required memory could unnecessarily send SIGBUS to the processes which
share the error memory. But we still have another issue that we could
send SIGBUS to a wrong thread.
This is because collect_procs() and task_early_kill() fails to add the
current process to "to-kill" list. So this patch is suggesting to fix
it. With this fix, SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) is never sent to non-current
process/thread.

vm.memory_failure_early_kill
Patch series "hwpoison: fixes signaling on memory error"
This is a small patchset to solve issues in memory error handler to send
SIGBUS to proper process/thread as expected in configuration. Please
see descriptions in individual patches for more details.
This patch (of 2):
Early-kill policy is controlled from two types of settings, one is
per-process setting prctl(PR_MCE_KILL) and the other is system-wide
setting vm.memory_failure_early_kill. Users expect per-process setting
to override system-wide setting as many other settings do, but
early-kill setting doesn't work as such.
For example, if a system configures vm.memory_failure_early_kill to 1
(enabled), a process receives SIGBUS even if it's configured to
explicitly disable PF_MCE_KILL by prctl(). That's not desirable for
applications with their own policies.
This patch is suggesting to change the priority of these two types of
settings, by checking sysctl_memory_failure_early_kill only when a given
process has the default kill policy.
Note that this patch is solving a thread choice issue too.
Originally, collect_procs() always chooses the main thread when
vm.memory_failure_early_kill is 1, even if the process has a dedicated
thread for memory error handling. SIGBUS should be sent to the
dedicated thread if early-kill is enabled via
vm.memory_failure_early_kill as we are doing for PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY
processes.

Some processes dont't want to be killed early, but in "Action Required"
case, those also may be killed by BUS_MCEERR_AO when sharing memory with
other which is accessing the fail memory. And sending SIGBUS with
BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error is strange, so ignore the
non-current processes here.

The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to schedule
work on the current CPU so that memory_failure() can sleep.
For synchronous memory errors the arch code needs to know any signals
that memory_failure() will trigger are pending before it returns to
user-space, possibly when exiting from the IRQ.
Add a helper to kick the memory failure queue, to ensure the scheduled
work has happened. This has to be called from process context, so may
have been migrated from the original cpu. Pass the cpu the work was
queued on.
Change memory_failure_work_func() to permit being called on the 'wrong'
cpu.

Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more synchronization", v2.
While discussing the issue with huge_pte_offset [1], I remembered that
there were more outstanding hugetlb races. These issues are:
1) For shared pmds, huge PTE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
reserve counts and state.
A previous attempt was made to use i_mmap_rwsem in this manner as
described at [2]. However, those patches were reverted starting with [3]
due to locking issues.
To effectively use i_mmap_rwsem to address the above issues it needs to be
held (in read mode) during page fault processing. However, during fault
processing we need to lock the page we will be adding. Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem. Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.
To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages. This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places. However, I don't
really like this idea. Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.
The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races. After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ... etc,
as needed. This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations. At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races. Any other
suggestions would be welcome.
