This reverts commit 54d516b1d6
That commit did a refactoring that effectively combined fast and slow
gup paths (again). And that was again incorrect, for two reasons:
a) Fast gup and slow gup get reference counts on pages in different
ways and with different goals: see Linus' writeup in commit
cd1adf1b63 ("Revert "mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call
try_get_compound_head() directly""), and
b) try_grab_compound_head() also has a specific check for
"FOLL_LONGTERM && !is_pinned(page)", that assumes that the caller
can fall back to slow gup. This resulted in new failures, as
recently report by Will McVicker [1].
But (a) has problems too, even though they may not have been reported
yet. So just revert this.

When BUG_ON check for THP migration entry, the existing code only check
thp_migration_supported case, but not for !thp_migration_supported case.
If !thp_migration_supported() and !pmd_present(), the original code may
dead loop in theory. To make the BUG_ON check consistent, we need catch
both cases.
Move the BUG_ON check one step earlier, because if the bug happen we
should know it instead of depend on FOLL_MIGRATION been used by caller.
Because pmdval instead of *pmd is read by the is_pmd_migration_entry()
check, the existing code don't help to avoid useless locking within
pmd_migration_entry_wait(), so remove that check.

This reverts commit 9857a17f20.
That commit was completely broken, and I should have caught on to it
earlier. But happily, the kernel test robot noticed the breakage fairly
quickly.
The breakage is because "try_get_page()" is about avoiding the page
reference count overflow case, but is otherwise the exact same as a
plain "get_page()".
In contrast, "try_get_compound_head()" is an entirely different beast,
and uses __page_cache_add_speculative() because it's not just about the
page reference count, but also about possibly racing with the underlying
page going away.
So all the commentary about how
"try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance,
try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more
thoroughly"
was just completely wrong: yes, try_get_compound_head() handles
speculative page references, but the point is that try_get_page() does
not, and must not.
So there's no lack of maintainance - there are fundamentally different
semantics.
A speculative page reference would be entirely wrong in "get_page()",
and it's entirely wrong in "try_get_page()". It's not about
speculation, it's purely about "uhhuh, you can't get this page because
you've tried to increment the reference count too much already".
The reason the kernel test robot noticed this bug was that it hit the
VM_BUG_ON() in __page_cache_add_speculative(), which is all about
verifying that the context of any speculative page access is correct.
But since that isn't what try_get_page() is all about, the VM_BUG_ON()
tests things that are not correct to test for try_get_page().

Under normal circumstances, migrate_pages() returns the number of pages
migrated. In error conditions, it returns an error code. When returning
an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not
migrated.
Make migrate_pages() return how many pages are demoted successfully for
all cases, including when encountering errors. Page reclaim behavior will
depend on this in subsequent patches.

Patch series "A few gup refactorings and documentation updates", v3.
While reviewing some of the other things going on around gup.c, I noticed
that the documentation was wrong for a few of the routines that I wrote.
And then I noticed that there was some significant code duplication too.
So this fixes those issues.
This is not entirely risk-free, but after looking closely at this, I think
it's actually a useful improvement, getting rid of the code duplication
here.
This patch (of 3):
The documentation for try_grab_compound_head() and try_grab_page() has
fallen a little out of date. Update and clarify a few points.
Also make it kerneldoc-correct, by adding @args documentation.

Doing some extended tests and polishing the man page update for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), I realized that we end up converting also
SIGBUS (via -EFAULT) to -EINVAL, making it look like yet another
madvise() user error.
We want to report only problematic mappings and permission problems that
the user could have know as -EINVAL.
Let's not convert -EFAULT arising due to SIGBUS (or SIGSEGV) to -EINVAL,
but instead indicate -EFAULT to user space. While we could also convert
it to -ENOMEM, using -EFAULT looks more helpful when user space might
want to troubleshoot what's going wrong: MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) is
not part of an final Linux release and we can still adjust the behavior.

Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory
areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not
only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well.
The secretmem feature is off by default and the user must explicitly
enable it at the boot time.
Once secretmem is enabled, the user will be able to create a file
descriptor using the memfd_secret() system call. The memory areas created
by mmap() calls from this file descriptor will be unmapped from the kernel
direct map and they will be only mapped in the page table of the processes
that have access to the file descriptor.
Secretmem is designed to provide the following protections:
* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks. Seceretmem makes
"simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
required complexity of the attack. Along with other protections like
the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents. That
takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
standard attacks.
* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures. Once the
secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
kernel to be transmitted somewhere. The secreremem pages cannot be
accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.
* Harden against exploited kernel flaws. In order to access secretmem,
a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
secrets exfiltration using ptrace.
The file descriptor based memory has several advantages over the
"traditional" mm interfaces, such as mlock(), mprotect(), madvise(). File
descriptor approach allows explicit and controlled sharing of the memory
areas, it allows to seal the operations. Besides, file descriptor based
memory paves the way for VMMs to remove the secret memory range from the
userspace hipervisor process, for instance QEMU. Andy Lutomirski says:
"Getting fd-backed memory into a guest will take some possibly major
work in the kernel, but getting vma-backed memory into a guest without
mapping it in the host user address space seems much, much worse."
memfd_secret() is made a dedicated system call rather than an extension to
memfd_create() because it's purpose is to allow the user to create more
secure memory mappings rather than to simply allow file based access to
the memory. Nowadays a new system call cost is negligible while it is way
simpler for userspace to deal with a clear-cut system calls than with a
multiplexer or an overloaded syscall. Moreover, the initial
implementation of memfd_secret() is completely distinct from
memfd_create() so there is no much sense in overloading memfd_create() to
begin with. If there will be a need for code sharing between these
implementation it can be easily achieved without a need to adjust user
visible APIs.
The secret memory remains accessible in the process context using uaccess
primitives, but it is not exposed to the kernel otherwise; secret memory
areas are removed from the direct map and functions in the
follow_page()/get_user_page() family will refuse to return a page that
belongs to the secret memory area.
Once there will be a use case that will require exposing secretmem to the
kernel it will be an opt-in request in the system call flags so that user
would have to decide what data can be exposed to the kernel.
Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance. However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "... can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit 00d1c5e057
("x86: add gbpages switches")) and the recent report [1] showed that "...
although 1G mappings are a good default choice, there is no compelling
evidence that it must be the only choice". Hence, it is sufficient to
have secretmem disabled by default with the ability of a system
administrator to enable it at boot time.
Pages in the secretmem regions are unevictable and unmovable to avoid
accidental exposure of the sensitive data via swap or during page
migration.
Since the secretmem mappings are locked in memory they cannot exceed
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. Since these mappings are already locked independently
from mlock(), an attempt to mlock()/munlock() secretmem range would fail
and mlockall()/munlockall() will ignore secretmem mappings.
However, unlike mlock()ed memory, secretmem currently behaves more like
long-term GUP: secretmem mappings are unmovable mappings directly consumed
by user space. With default limits, there is no excessive use of
secretmem and it poses no real problem in combination with
ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA, but in the future this should be addressed to allow
balanced use of large amounts of secretmem along with ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA.
A page that was a part of the secret memory area is cleared when it is
freed to ensure the data is not exposed to the next user of that page.
The following example demonstrates creation of a secret mapping (error
handling is omitted):
fd = memfd_secret(0);
ftruncate(fd, MAP_SIZE);
ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings
When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also
sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/
discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are
hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar
technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want
to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does
not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily
with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs).
While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for
reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic
approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory.
Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept
of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically
and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition, we never
actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort
only.
fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a
safe way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on
anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate()
does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults
on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads)
and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of
backend storage. There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory
regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy
as it does not prefault page tables.
II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space
Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and
databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not
overwrite existing data) all individual pages.
However, that approach
1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing
each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem.
2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple
threads.
3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case
of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is
problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already
be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors.
"Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that
easy.
III. On MADV_WILLNEED
Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because
1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and
"might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/
preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.".
2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon)
don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint
to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't
expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time
might be spent.
IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by
MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics:
1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like
manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW
mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage
might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to
write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit
fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in
the file system) in case the file might have holes.
2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated
(prefaulted) readable once.
3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and
prefault page tables just like manually writing (or
reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW
mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated.
4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated
(prefaulted) writable once.
5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special
mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access
permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such
mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL.
6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables
might have been populated.
7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON
when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range.
8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the
process.
While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e.,
preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that
whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty,
because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for
hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each
page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting.
MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole
mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction
won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings
might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve
preallcoation+prepopulation.
Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also
be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is
not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one
example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM
after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently
suppressed.
Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1],
however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements --
which should also still be the case.
V. Single-threaded performance comparison
I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty
mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results
correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance
benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings.
V.1: Private mappings
POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that
Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable
-- which result in short population times.
The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and
prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.
V.2: Shared mappings
fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables.
POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes.
POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads.
Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault
page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one
exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ.
The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then,
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as
dirty.

has_pinned 32bit can be packed in the MMF_HAS_PINNED bit as a noop
cleanup.
Any atomic_inc/dec to the mm cacheline shared by all threads in pin-fast
would reintroduce a loss of SMP scalability to pin-fast, so there's no
future potential usefulness to keep an atomic in the mm for this.
set_bit(MMF_HAS_PINNED) will be theoretically a bit slower than WRITE_ONCE
(atomic_set is equivalent to WRITE_ONCE), but the set_bit (just like
atomic_set after this commit) has to be still issued only once per "mm",
so the difference between the two will be lost in the noise.
will-it-scale "mmap2" shows no change in performance with enterprise
config as expected.
will-it-scale "pin_fast" retains the > 4000% SMP scalability performance
improvement against upstream as expected.
This is a noop as far as overall performance and SMP scalability are
concerned.

has_pinned cannot be written by each pin-fast or it won't scale in SMP.
This isn't "false sharing" strictly speaking (it's more like "true
non-sharing"), but it creates the same SMP scalability bottleneck of
"false sharing".
To verify the improvement, below test is done on 40 cpus host with
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz (must be with
CONFIG_GUP_TEST=y):
$ sudo chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -a -m 512 -j 40
Where we can get (average value for 40 threads):
Old kernel: 477729.97 (+- 3.79%)
New kernel: 89144.65 (+-11.76%)
On a similar condition with 256 cpus, this commits increases the SMP
scalability of pin_user_pages_fast() executed by different threads of the
same process by more than 4000%.

called, the page may have been freed and reallocated by the time its
refcount has been elevated; therefore, once we're holding a stable
reference to the page, the caller re-checks whether the PTE still points
to the same page (with the same access rights).
The problem is that try_grab_compound_head() has to grab a reference on
the head page; but between the time we look up what the head page is and
the time we actually grab a reference on the head page, the compound page
may have been split up (either explicitly through split_huge_page() or by
freeing the compound page to the buddy allocator and then allocating its
individual order-0 pages). If that happens, get_user_pages_fast() may end
up returning the right page but lifting the refcount on a now-unrelated
page, leading to use-after-free of pages.
To fix it: Re-check whether the pages still belong together after lifting
the refcount on the head page. Move anything else that checks
compound_head(page) below the refcount increment.
This can't actually happen on bare-metal x86 (because there, disabling
IRQs locks out remote TLB flushes), but it can happen on virtualized x86
(e.g. under KVM) and probably also on arm64. The race window is pretty
narrow, and constantly allocating and shattering hugepages isn't exactly
fast; for now I've only managed to reproduce this in an x86 KVM guest with
an artificially widened timing window (by adding a loop that repeatedly
calls `inl(0x3f8 + 5)` in `try_get_compound_head()` to force VM exits, so
that PV TLB flushes are used instead of IPIs).
As requested on the list, also replace the existing VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() with
a warning and bailout. Since the existing code only performed the BUG_ON
check on DEBUG_VM kernels, ensure that the new code also only performs the
check under that configuration - I don't want to mix two logically
separate changes together too much. The macro VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE()
doesn't return a value on !DEBUG_VM, so wrap the whole check in an #ifdef
block. An alternative would be to change the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE()
definition for !DEBUG_VM such that it always returns false, but since that
would differ from the behavior of the normal WARN macros, it might be too
confusing for readers.

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.

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.

To that end, define another iterator for_each_compound_range() that
operates in page ranges as opposed to page array.
For users (like RDMA mr_dereg) where each sg represents a contiguous set
of pages, we're able to more efficiently unpin pages without having to

Rather than decrementing the head page refcount one by one, we walk the
page array and checking which belong to the same compound_head. Later on
we decrement the calculated amount of references in a single write to the
head page. To that end switch to for_each_compound_head() does most of
the work.
set_page_dirty() needs no adjustment as it's a nop for non-dirty head
pages and it doesn't operate on tail pages.
This considerably improves unpinning of pages with THP and hugetlbfs:

Patch series "mm/gup: page unpining improvements", v4.
This series improves page unpinning, with an eye on improving MR
deregistration for big swaths of memory (which is bound by the page
unpining), particularly:
1) Decrement the head page by @ntails and thus reducing a lot the
number of atomic operations per compound page. This is done by
comparing individual tail pages heads, and counting number of
consecutive tails on which they match heads and based on that update
head page refcount. Should have a visible improvement in all page
(un)pinners which use compound pages
2) Introducing a new API for unpinning page ranges (to avoid the trick
in the previous item and be based on math), and use that in RDMA
ib_mem_release (used for mr deregistration).
Performance improvements: unpin_user_pages() for hugetlbfs and THP
improves ~3x (through gup_test) and RDMA MR dereg improves ~4.5x with the
new API. See patches 2 and 4 for those.
This patch (of 4):
Add a helper that iterates over head pages in a list of pages. It
essentially counts the tails until the next page to process has a
different head that the current. This is going to be used by
unpin_user_pages() family of functions, to batch the head page refcount
updates once for all passed consecutive tail pages.

So check the poison status in get_dump_page(), and if TRUE, return NULL.
There maybe other scenario that is also better to check the posion status
and not to panic, so make a wrapper for this check, Thanks to David's
suggestion(<david@redhat.com>).

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements", v2.
While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last
patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page()
which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages().
The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies up
storing the subpages/vmas. Both together bring the cost of slow variant
of gup() cost from ~87.6k usecs to ~5.8k usecs.
libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks with hugetlbfs
vmas.
This patch (of 2):
follow_hugetlb_page() once it locks the pmd/pud, checks all its N subpages
in a huge page and grabs a reference for each one. Similar to gup-fast,
have follow_hugetlb_page() grab the head page refcount only after counting
all its subpages that are part of the just faulted huge page.
Consequently we reduce the number of atomics necessary to pin said huge
page, which improves non-fast gup() considerably:
- 16G with 1G huge page size
gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w

Fix some issues on mm files:

it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one,
after the parameters. Fix it.
2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below

These functions accomplish the same thing but have different
implementations.
unpin_user_page() has a bug where it calls mod_node_page_state() after
calling put_page() which creates a risk that the page could have been
hot-uplugged from the system.
Fix this by using put_compound_head() as the only implementation.
__unpin_devmap_managed_user_page() and related can be deleted as well in
favour of the simpler, but slower, version in put_compound_head() that has
an extra atomic page_ref_sub, but always calls put_page() which internally
contains the special devmap code.
Move put_compound_head() to be directly after try_grab_compound_head() so
people can find it in future.

Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by
post-processing the VMA list.
These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before
processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is
encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM.
Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many
call sites.
Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged
when DAX is compiled out.
Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already
makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and
memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.

Since commit 70e806e4e6 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork. This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.
However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:
CPU 0 CPU 1
get_user_pages_fast()
internal_get_user_pages_fast()
copy_page_range()
pte_alloc_map_lock()
copy_present_page()
atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
gup_pgd_range()
gup_pte_range()
pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
pte_access_permitted(pte)
try_grab_compound_head()
pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
set_pte_at();
pte_unmap_unlock()
// GUP now returns with a write protected page
The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")
Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range(). If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.
Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

Patch series "Add a seqcount between gup_fast and copy_page_range()", v4.
As discussed and suggested by Linus use a seqcount to close the small race
between gup_fast and copy_page_range().
Ahmed confirms that raw_write_seqcount_begin() is the correct API to use
in this case and it doesn't trigger any lockdeps.
I was able to test it using two threads, one forking and the other using
ibv_reg_mr() to trigger GUP fast. Modifying copy_page_range() to sleep
made the window large enough to reliably hit to test the logic.
This patch (of 2):
The next patch in this series makes the lockless flow a little more
complex, so move the entire block into a new function and remove a level
of indention. Tidy a bit of cruft:
- addr is always the same as start, so use start
- Use the modern check_add_overflow() for computing end = start + len
- nr_pinned/pages << PAGE_SHIFT needs the LHS to be unsigned long to
avoid shift overflow, make the variables unsigned long to avoid coding
casts in both places. nr_pinned was missing its cast
- The handling of ret and nr_pinned can be streamlined a bit
No functional change.

When FOLL_PIN is passed to __get_user_pages() the page list must be put
back using unpin_user_pages() otherwise the page pin reference persists
in a corrupted state.
There are two places in the unwind of __gup_longterm_locked() that put
the pages back without checking. Normally on error this function would
return the partial page list making this the caller's responsibility,
but in these two cases the caller is not allowed to see these pages at
all.

Properly take the mmap_lock before calling into the GUP code from
get_dump_page(); and play nice, allowing the GUP code to drop the
mmap_lock if it has to sleep.
As Linus pointed out, we don't actually need the VMA because
__get_user_pages() will flush the dcache for us if necessary.

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5.
At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work
around <https://crbug.com/project-zero/1790>: ELF core dumping doesn't
take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like
userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So
at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that
might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs.
With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as
possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across
unbounded sleeps".)
Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core
dumping code.
Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing
the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with
proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This
ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is
consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any
virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their
contents show up in the core dump properly.
The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during
core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs.
At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this
issue (mmget_still_valid()).
I have tested:
- Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works.
- The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible.
- X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at
offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file
mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0.
- NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps
through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because
GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've
poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.)
This patch (of 7):
dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory.
Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS,
even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given
that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if
we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block.
One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use
__get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter
doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will
just call __get_user_pages() for us.
