LKP reported smatch warning as below:
===================
smatch warnings:
mm/vmalloc.c:3689 vread_iter() error: we previously assumed 'vm' could be null (see line 3667)
......
06c8994626d1b7 @3667 size = vm ? get_vm_area_size(vm) : va_size(va);
......
06c8994626d1b7 @3689 else if (!(vm->flags & VM_IOREMAP))
^^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference
=====================
This is not a runtime bug because the possible null 'vm' in the
pointed place could only happen when flags == VMAP_BLOCK. However, the
case 'flags == VMAP_BLOCK' should never happen and has been detected
with WARN_ON. Please check vm_map_ram() implementation and the earlier
checking in vread_iter() at below:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/*
* VMAP_BLOCK indicates a sub-type of vm_map_ram area, need
* be set together with VMAP_RAM.
*/
WARN_ON(flags == VMAP_BLOCK);
if (!vm && !flags)
continue;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So add checking on whether 'vm' could be null when dereferencing it in
vread_iter(). This mutes smatch complaint.

Patch series "Fix set_huge_pte_at() panic on arm64", v2.
This series fixes a bug in arm64's implementation of set_huge_pte_at(),
which can result in an unprivileged user causing a kernel panic. The
problem was triggered when running the new uffd poison mm selftest for
HUGETLB memory. This test (and the uffd poison feature) was merged for
v6.5-rc7.
Ideally, I'd like to get this fix in for v6.6 and I've cc'ed stable
(correctly this time) to get it backported to v6.5, where the issue first
showed up.
Description of Bug
==================
arm64's huge pte implementation supports multiple huge page sizes, some of
which are implemented in the page table with multiple contiguous entries.
So set_huge_pte_at() needs to work out how big the logical pte is, so that
it can also work out how many physical ptes (or pmds) need to be written.
It previously did this by grabbing the folio out of the pte and querying
its size.
However, there are cases when the pte being set is actually a swap entry.
But this also used to work fine, because for huge ptes, we only ever saw
migration entries and hwpoison entries. And both of these types of swap
entries have a PFN embedded, so the code would grab that and everything
still worked out.
But over time, more calls to set_huge_pte_at() have been added that set
swap entry types that do not embed a PFN. And this causes the code to go
bang. The triggering case is for the uffd poison test, commit
99aa77215ad0 ("selftests/mm: add uffd unit test for UFFDIO_POISON"), which
causes a PTE_MARKER_POISONED swap entry to be set, coutesey of commit
8a13897fb0da ("mm: userfaultfd: support UFFDIO_POISON for hugetlbfs") -
added in v6.5-rc7. Although review shows that there are other call sites
that set PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP (which also has no PFN), these don't trigger
on arm64 because arm64 doesn't support UFFD WP.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, we do at least get a BUG(), but otherwise,
it will dereference a bad pointer in page_folio():
static inline struct folio *hugetlb_swap_entry_to_folio(swp_entry_t entry)
{
VM_BUG_ON(!is_migration_entry(entry) && !is_hwpoison_entry(entry));
return page_folio(pfn_to_page(swp_offset_pfn(entry)));
}
Fix
===
The simplest fix would have been to revert the dodgy cleanup commit
18f3962953e4 ("mm: hugetlb: kill set_huge_swap_pte_at()"), but since
things have moved on, this would have required an audit of all the new
set_huge_pte_at() call sites to see if they should be converted to
set_huge_swap_pte_at(). As per the original intent of the change, it
would also leave us open to future bugs when people invariably get it
wrong and call the wrong helper.
So instead, I've added a huge page size parameter to set_huge_pte_at().
This means that the arm64 code has the size in all cases. It's a bigger
change, due to needing to touch the arches that implement the function,
but it is entirely mechanical, so in my view, low risk.
I've compile-tested all touched arches; arm64, parisc, powerpc, riscv,
s390, sparc (and additionally x86_64). I've additionally booted and run
mm selftests against arm64, where I observe the uffd poison test is fixed,
and there are no other regressions.
This patch (of 2):
In order to fix a bug, arm64 needs to be told the size of the huge page
for which the pte is being set in set_huge_pte_at(). Provide for this by
adding an `unsigned long sz` parameter to the function. This follows the
same pattern as huge_pte_clear().
This commit makes the required interface modifications to the core mm as
well as all arches that implement this function (arm64, parisc, powerpc,
riscv, s390, sparc). The actual arm64 bug will be fixed in a separate
commit.
No behavioral changes intended.

flush_cache_vmap() must be called after new vmalloc mappings are installed
in the page table in order to allow architectures to make sure the new
mapping is visible.
It could lead to a panic since on some architectures (like powerpc),
the page table walker could see the wrong pte value and trigger a
spurious page fault that can not be resolved (see commit f1cb8f9beba8
("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and
ptep_set_access_flags")).
But actually the patch is aiming at riscv: the riscv specification
allows the caching of invalid entries in the TLB, and since we recently
removed the vmalloc page fault handling, we now need to emit a tlb
shootdown whenever a new vmalloc mapping is emitted
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230725132246.817726-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com/).
That's a temporary solution, there are ways to avoid that :)

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

In __vmalloc_area_node() we always warn_alloc() when an allocation
performed by vm_area_alloc_pages() fails unless it was due to a pending
fatal signal.
However, huge page allocations instigated either by vmalloc_huge() or
__vmalloc_node_range() (or a caller that invokes this like kvmalloc() or
kvmalloc_node()) always falls back to order-0 allocations if the huge page
allocation fails.
This renders the warning useless and noisy, especially as all callers
appear to be aware that this may fallback. This has already resulted in
at least one bug report from a user who was confused by this (see link).
Therefore, simply update the code to only output this warning for order-0
pages when no fatal signal is pending.

Patch series "Fixes for pte encapsulation bypasses", v3.
A series to improve the encapsulation of pte entries by disallowing
non-arch code from directly dereferencing pte_t pointers.
This patch (of 4):
It is bad practice to directly set pte entries within a pte table.
Instead all modifications must go through arch-provided helpers such as
set_pte_at() to give the arch code visibility and allow it to check (and
potentially modify) the operation.

Purging fragmented blocks is done unconditionally in several contexts:
1) From drain_vmap_area_work(), when the number of lazy to be freed
vmap_areas reached the threshold
2) Reclaiming vmalloc address space from pcpu_get_vm_areas()
3) _vm_unmap_aliases()
#1 There is no reason to zap fragmented vmap blocks unconditionally, simply
because reclaiming all lazy areas drains at least
32MB * fls(num_online_cpus())
per invocation which is plenty.
#2 Reclaiming when running out of space or due to memory pressure makes a
lot of sense
#3 _unmap_aliases() requires to touch everything because the caller has no
clue which vmap_area used a particular page last and the vmap_area lost
that information too.
Except for the vfree + VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS case, which removes the
vmap area first and then cares about the flush. That in turn requires
a full walk of _all_ vmap areas including the one which was just
added to the purge list.
But as this has to be flushed anyway this is an opportunity to combine
outstanding TLB flushes and do the housekeeping of purging freed areas,
but like #1 there is no real good reason to zap usable vmap blocks
unconditionally.
Add a @force_purge argument to the newly split out block purge function and
if not true only purge fragmented blocks which have less than 1/4 of their
capacity left.
Rename purge_vmap_area_lazy() to reclaim_and_purge_vmap_areas() to make it
clear what the function does.

vb_alloc() unconditionally locks a vmap_block on the free list to check
the free space.
This can be done locklessly because vmap_block::free never increases, it's
only decreased on allocations.
Check the free space lockless and only if that succeeds, recheck under the
lock.

vmap blocks which have active mappings cannot be purged. Allocations
which have been freed are accounted for in vmap_block::dirty_min/max, so
that they can be detected in _vm_unmap_aliases() as potentially stale
TLBs.
If there are several invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() then each of them
will flush the dirty range. That's pointless and just increases the
probability of full TLB flushes.
Avoid that by resetting the flush range after accounting for it. That's
safe versus other invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() because this is all
serialized with vmap_purge_lock.

_vunmap_aliases() walks the per CPU xarrays to find partially unmapped
blocks and then walks the per cpu free lists to purge fragmented blocks.
Arguably that's waste of CPU cycles and cache lines as the full xarray
walk already touches every block.
Avoid this double iteration:
- Split out the code to purge one block and the code to free the local
purge list into helper functions.
- Try to purge the fragmented blocks in the xarray walk before looking at
their dirty space.

this series addresses the following issues:
1) Prevent the stale TLB problem related to fully utilized vmap blocks
2) Avoid the double per CPU list walk in _vm_unmap_aliases()
3) Avoid flushing dirty space over and over
4) Add a lockless quickcheck in vb_alloc() and add missing
READ/WRITE_ONCE() annotations
5) Prevent overeager purging of usable vmap_blocks if
not under memory/address space pressure.
This patch (of 6):
_vm_unmap_aliases() is used to ensure that no unflushed TLB entries for a
page are left in the system. This is required due to the lazy TLB flush
mechanism in vmalloc.
This is tried to achieve by walking the per CPU free lists, but those do
not contain fully utilized vmap blocks because they are removed from the
free list once the blocks free space became zero.
When the block is not fully unmapped then it is not on the purge list
either.
So neither the per CPU list iteration nor the purge list walk find the
block and if the page was mapped via such a block and the TLB has not yet
been flushed, the guarantee of _vm_unmap_aliases() that there are no stale
TLBs after returning is broken:
x = vb_alloc() // Removes vmap_block from free list because vb->free became 0
vb_free(x) // Unmaps page and marks in dirty_min/max range
// Block has still mappings and is not put on purge list
// Page is reused
vm_unmap_aliases() // Can't find vmap block with the dirty space -> FAIL
So instead of walking the per CPU free lists, walk the per CPU xarrays
which hold pointers to _all_ active blocks in the system including those
removed from the free lists.

Short the name of the addr_to_vb_xarray() function to the addr_to_vb_xa().
This aligns with other internal function abbreviations.

A global vmap_blocks-xarray array can be contented under heavy usage of
the vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() APIs. The lock_stat shows that a
"vmap_blocks.xa_lock" lock is a second in a top-list when it comes to
contentions:

that is a result of running vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() in
a loop. The test creates 64(on 64 CPUs system) threads and
each one maps/unmaps 1 page.
After this change the "xa_lock" can be considered as a noise
in the same test condition:

<snip>
Running the test_vmalloc.sh run_test_mask=1024 nr_threads=64 nr_pages=5
shows around ~8 percent of throughput improvement of vm_map_ram() and
vm_unmap_ram() APIs.
This patch does not fix vmap_area_lock/free_vmap_area_lock and
purge_vmap_area_lock bottle-necks, it is rather a separate rework.

Similarly to kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush(), kmsan_ioremap_page_range()
must also properly handle allocation/mapping failures. In the case of
such, it must clean up the already created metadata mappings and return an
error code, so that the error can be propagated to ioremap_page_range().
Without doing so, KMSAN may silently fail to bring the metadata for the
page range into a consistent state, which will result in user-visible
crashes when trying to access them.

As reported by Dipanjan Das, when KMSAN is used together with kernel fault
injection (or, generally, even without the latter), calls to kcalloc() or
__vmap_pages_range_noflush() may fail, leaving the metadata mappings for
the virtual mapping in an inconsistent state. When these metadata
mappings are accessed later, the kernel crashes.
To address the problem, we return a non-zero error code from
kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush() in the case of any allocation/mapping
failure inside it, and make vmap_pages_range_noflush() return an error if
KMSAN fails to allocate the metadata.
This patch also removes KMSAN_WARN_ON() from vmap_pages_range_noflush(),
as these allocation failures are not fatal anymore.

Having previously laid the foundation for converting vread() to an
iterator function, pull the trigger and do so.
This patch attempts to provide minimal refactoring and to reflect the
existing logic as best we can, for example we continue to zero portions of
memory not read, as before.
Overall, there should be no functional difference other than a performance
improvement in /proc/kcore access to vmalloc regions.
Now we have eliminated the need for a bounce buffer in read_kcore_iter(),
we dispense with it, and try to write to user memory optimistically but
with faults disabled via copy_page_to_iter_nofault(). We already have
preemption disabled by holding a spin lock. We continue faulting in until
the operation is complete.
Additionally, we must account for the fact that at any point a copy may
fail (most likely due to a fault not being able to occur), we exit
indicating fewer bytes retrieved than expected.

This failure really confuse me as there're still lots of available pages.
Finally I figured out it was caused by a fatal signal. When a process is
allocating memory via vm_area_alloc_pages(), it will break directly even
if it hasn't allocated the requested pages when it receives a fatal
signal. In that case, we shouldn't show this warn_alloc, as it is
useless. We only need to show this warning when there're really no enough
pages.

Update instances of alloc_pages(..., 0), __get_free_pages(..., 0) and
__free_pages(..., 0) to use alloc_page(), __get_free_page() and
__free_page() respectively in core code.

Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with
kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the
match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to
poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would
have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the
pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection.
Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check
kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

Gao Xiang has reported that the page allocator complains about high order
__GFP_NOFAIL request coming from the vmalloc core:
__alloc_pages+0x1cb/0x5b0 mm/page_alloc.c:5549
alloc_pages+0x1aa/0x270 mm/mempolicy.c:2286
vm_area_alloc_pages mm/vmalloc.c:2989 [inline]
__vmalloc_area_node mm/vmalloc.c:3057 [inline]
__vmalloc_node_range+0x978/0x13c0 mm/vmalloc.c:3227
kvmalloc_node+0x156/0x1a0 mm/util.c:606
kvmalloc include/linux/slab.h:737 [inline]
kvmalloc_array include/linux/slab.h:755 [inline]
kvcalloc include/linux/slab.h:760 [inline]
it seems that I have completely missed high order allocation backing
vmalloc areas case when implementing __GFP_NOFAIL support. This means
that [k]vmalloc at al. can allocate higher order allocations with
__GFP_NOFAIL which can trigger OOM killer for non-costly orders easily or
cause a lot of reclaim/compaction activity if those requests cannot be
satisfied.
Fix the issue by falling back to zero order allocations for __GFP_NOFAIL
requests if the high order request fails.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
bit.
- Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
related to PMD unsharing.
- Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes
- Johannes Weiner has a series ("mm: push down lock_page_memcg()")
which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.
- SeongJae Park has added DAMOS filtering to DAMON, with the series
"mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".
These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.
- Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").
- Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
tree".
- Yu Zhao has contributed the "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU" series. It
adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
reclaim.
- David Hildenbrand has added some userfaultfd cleanup work in the
series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".
- Christoph Hellwig has removed the generic_writepages() library
function in the series "remove generic_writepages".
- Baolin Wang has performed some maintenance on the compaction code in
his series "Some small improvements for compaction".
- Sidhartha Kumar is doing some maintenance work on struct page in his
series "Get rid of tail page fields".
- David Hildenbrand contributed some cleanup, bugfixing and
generalization of pte management and of pte debugging in his series
"mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all architectures with
swap PTEs".
- Mel Gorman and Neil Brown have removed the __GFP_ATOMIC allocation
flag in the series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC".
- Sergey Senozhatsky has improved zsmalloc's memory utilization with
his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".
- Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
writeable+executable mappings.
The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".
- Waiman Long did some kmemleak cl |
