MADV_DONTNEED is handled with mmap_sem taken in read mode. We call
page_mkclean without holding mmap_sem.
MADV_DONTNEED implies that pages in the region are unmapped and subsequent
access to the pages in that range is handled as a new page fault. This
implies that if we don't have parallel access to the region when
MADV_DONTNEED is run we expect those range to be unallocated.
w.r.t page_mkclean() we need to make sure that we don't break the
MADV_DONTNEED semantics. MADV_DONTNEED check for pmd_none without holding
pmd_lock. This implies we skip the pmd if we temporarily mark pmd none.
Avoid doing that while marking the page clean.
Keep the sequence same for dax too even though we don't support
MADV_DONTNEED for dax mapping
The bug was noticed by code review and I didn't observe any failures w.r.t
test run. This is similar to

A discussion of the overall problem is below.
As mentioned in patch 0001, the steps are to fix the problem are:
1) Provide put_user_page*() routines, intended to be used
for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*().
2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to
invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of
call sites, and will take some time.
3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to
implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from
the existing struct page refcounting.
4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement
special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are
backed by a filesystem.
Overview
========
Some kernel components (file systems, device drivers) need to access
memory that is specified via process virtual address. For a long time,
the API to achieve that was get_user_pages ("GUP") and its variations.
However, GUP has critical limitations that have been overlooked; in
particular, GUP does not interact correctly with filesystems in all
situations. That means that file-backed memory + GUP is a recipe for
potential problems, some of which have already occurred in the field.
GUP was first introduced for Direct IO (O_DIRECT), allowing filesystem
code to get the struct page behind a virtual address and to let storage
hardware perform a direct copy to or from that page. This is a
short-lived access pattern, and as such, the window for a concurrent
writeback of GUP'd page was small enough that there were not (we think)
any reported problems. Also, userspace was expected to understand and
accept that Direct IO was not synchronized with memory-mapped access to
that data, nor with any process address space changes such as munmap(),
mremap(), etc.
Over the years, more GUP uses have appeared (virtualization, device
drivers, RDMA) that can keep the pages they get via GUP for a long period
of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, ...). This long-term pinning
makes an underlying design problem more obvious.
In fact, there are a number of key problems inherent to GUP:
Interactions with file systems
==============================
File systems expect to be able to write back data, both to reclaim pages,
and for data integrity. Allowing other hardware (NICs, GPUs, etc) to gain
write access to the file memory pages means that such hardware can dirty
the pages, without the filesystem being aware. This can, in some cases
(depending on filesystem, filesystem options, block device, block device
options, and other variables), lead to data corruption, and also to kernel
bugs of the form:
kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899!
backtrace:

__writepage

__writeback_single_inode
writeback_sb_inodes
__writeback_inodes_wb
wb_writeback
wb_workfn
process_one_work
worker_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork
...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer
heads attached:
({ \
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \
((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \
})
Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear:
"The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every
write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one.
How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is clean
and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it is
marked writeable and dirtied. Every. Time."
This is just one symptom of the larger design problem: real filesystems
that actually write to a backing device, do not actually support
get_user_pages() being called on their pages, and letting hardware write
directly to those pages--even though that pattern has been going on since
about 2005 or so.
Long term GUP
=============
Long term GUP is an issue when FOLL_WRITE is specified to GUP (so, a
writeable mapping is created), and the pages are file-backed. That can
lead to filesystem corruption. What happens is that when a file-backed
page is being written back, it is first mapped read-only in all of the CPU
page tables; the file system then assumes that nobody can write to the
page, and that the page content is therefore stable. Unfortunately, the
GUP callers generally do not monitor changes to the CPU pages tables; they
instead assume that the following pattern is safe (it's not):
get_user_pages()
Hardware can keep a reference to those pages for a very long time,
and write to it at any time. Because "hardware" here means "devices
that are not a CPU", this activity occurs without any interaction with
the kernel's file system code.
for each page
set_page_dirty
put_page()
In fact, the GUP documentation even recommends that pattern.
Anyway, the file system assumes that the page is stable (nothing is
writing to the page), and that is a problem: stable page content is
necessary for many filesystem actions during writeback, such as checksum,
encryption, RAID striping, etc. Furthermore, filesystem features like COW
(copy on write) or snapshot also rely on being able to use a new page for
as memory for that memory range inside the file.
Corruption during write back is clearly possible here. To solve that, one
idea is to identify pages that have active GUP, so that we can use a
bounce page to write stable data to the filesystem. The filesystem would
work on the bounce page, while any of the active GUP might write to the
original page. This would avoid the stable page violation problem, but
note that it is only part of the overall solution, because other problems
remain.
Other filesystem features that need to replace the page with a new one can
be inhibited for pages that are GUP-pinned. This will, however, alter and
limit some of those filesystem features. The only fix for that would be
to require GUP users to monitor and respond to CPU page table updates.
Subsystems such as ODP and HMM do this, for example. This aspect of the
problem is still under discussion.
Direct IO
=========
Direct IO can cause corruption, if userspace does Direct-IO that writes to
a range of virtual addresses that are mmap'd to a file. The pages written
to are file-backed pages that can be under write back, while the Direct IO
is taking place. Here, Direct IO races with a write back: it calls GUP
before page_mkclean() has replaced the CPU pte with a read-only entry.
The race window is pretty small, which is probably why years have gone by
before we noticed this problem: Direct IO is generally very quick, and
tends to finish up before the filesystem gets around to do anything with
the page contents. However, it's still a real problem. The solution is
to never let GUP return pages that are under write back, but instead,
force GUP to take a write fault on those pages. That way, GUP will
properly synchronize with the active write back. This does not change the
required GUP behavior, it just avoids that race.
Details
=======
Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page(). This provides
a way to update all get_user_pages*() callers, so that they call
put_user_page(), instead of put_page().
Also introduces put_user_pages(), and a few dirty/locked variations, as a
replacement for release_pages(), and also as a replacement for open-coded
loops that release multiple pages. These may be used for subsequent
performance improvements, via batching of pages to be released.
This is the first step of fixing a problem (also described in [1] and [2])
with interactions between get_user_pages ("gup") and filesystems.
Problem description: let's start with a bug report. Below, is what
happens sometimes, under memory pressure, when a driver pins some pages
via gup, and then marks those pages dirty, and releases them. Note that
the gup documentation actually recommends that pattern. The problem is
that the filesystem may do a writeback while the pages were gup-pinned,
and then the filesystem believes that the pages are clean. So, when the
driver later marks the pages as dirty, that conflicts with the
filesystem's page tracking and results in a BUG(), like this one that I
experienced:
kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899!
backtrace:

...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer

})

"The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on

Patch series "Fix free/allocation of runtime gigantic pages", v8.
This series fixes sh and sparc that did not advertise their gigantic page
support and then were not able to allocate and free those pages at
runtime. It renames MEMORY_ISOLATION && COMPACTION || CMA condition into
the more accurate CONTIG_ALLOC, since it allows the definition of
alloc_contig_range function.
Finally, it then fixes the wrong definition of ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE
config that, without MEMORY_ISOLATION && COMPACTION || CMA defined, did
not allow architectures to free boottime allocated gigantic pages although
unrelated.
This patch (of 4):
sh actually supports gigantic pages and selecting ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE
allows it to allocate and free gigantic pages at runtime.
At least sdk7786_defconfig exposes such a configuration with huge pages of
64MB, pages of 4KB and MAX_ORDER = 11: HPAGE_SHIFT (26) - PAGE_SHIFT (12)
= 14 >= MAX_ORDER (11)

Patch series "initramfs tidyups".
I've spent some time chasing down behavior in initramfs and found
plenty of opportunity to improve the code. A first stab on that is
contained in this series.
This patch (of 7):
We free the initrd memory for all successful or error cases except for the
case where opening /initrd.image fails, which looks like an oversight.
Steven said:
: This also changes the behaviour when CONFIG_INITRAMFS_FORCE is enabled
: - specifically it means that the initrd is freed (previously it was
: ignored and never freed). But that seems like reasonable behaviour and
: the previous behaviour looks like another oversight.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: clean up the LRU counts tracking".
The memcg LRU stats usage is currently a bit messy. Memcg has private
per-zone counters because reclaim needs zone granularity sometimes, but we
also have plenty of users that need to awkwardly sum them up to node or
memcg granularity. Meanwhile the canonical per-memcg vmstats do not track
the LRU counts (NR_INACTIVE_ANON etc.) as you'd expect.
This series enables LRU count tracking in the per-memcg vmstats array such
that lruvec_page_state() and memcg_page_state() work on the enum
node_stat_item items for the LRU counters. Then it converts all the
callers that don't specifically need per-zone numbers over to that.
This patch (of 6):
The memcg code currently maintains private per-zone breakdowns of the LRU
counters. This is necessary for reclaim decisions which are still
zone-based, but there are a variety of users of these counters that only
want the aggregate per-lruvec or per-memcg LRU counts, and they need to
painfully sum up the zone counters on each request for that.
These would be better served using the memcg vmstats arrays, which track
VM statistics at the desired scope already. They just don't have the LRU
counts right now.
So to kick off the conversion, begin tracking LRU counts in those.

Currently one bit in cma bitmap represents number of pages rather than
one page, cma->count means cma size in pages. So to find available pages
via find_next_zero_bit()/find_next_bit() we should use cma size not in
pages but in bits although current free pages number is correct due to
zero value of order_per_bit. Once order_per_bit is changed the bitmap
status will be incorrect.
The size input in cma_debug_show_areas() is not correct. It will
affect the available pages at some position to debug the failure issue.
This is an example with order_per_bit = 1
Before this change:
[ 4.120060] cma: number of available pages: 1@93+4@108+7@121+7@137+7@153+7@169+7@185+7@201+3@213+3@221+3@229+3@237+3@245+3@253+3@261+3@269+3@277+3@285+3@293+3@301+3@309+3@317+3@325+19@333+15@369+512@512=> 638 free of 1024 total pages
After this change:
[ 4.143234] cma: number of available pages: 2@93+8@108+14@121+14@137+14@153+14@169+14@185+14@201+6@213+6@221+6@229+6@237+6@245+6@253+6@261+6@269+6@277+6@285+6@293+6@301+6@309+6@317+6@325+38@333+30@369=> 252 free of 1024 total pages
Obviously the bitmap status before is incorrect.

On x86_64, 1GB-hugetlb pages could never be offlined due to the fact
that hugepage_migration_supported() returned false for PUD_SHIFT.
So whenever we wanted to offline a memblock containing a gigantic
hugetlb page, we never got beyond has_unmovable_pages() check.
This changed with [1], where now we also return true for PUD_SHIFT.
After that patch, the check in has_unmovable_pages() and scan_movable_pages()
returned true, but we still had a final barrier in do_migrate_range():
if (compound_order(head) > PFN_SECTION_SHIFT) {
ret = -EBUSY;
break;
}
This is not really nice, and we do not really need it.
It is perfectly possible to migrate a gigantic page as long as another node has
a spare gigantic page for us.
In alloc_huge_page_nodemask(), we calculate the __real__ number of free pages,
and if any, we try to dequeue one from another node.
This all works fine when we do have another node with a spare gigantic page,
but if that is not the case, alloc_huge_page_nodemask() ends up calling
alloc_migrate_huge_page() which bails out if the wanted page is gigantic.
That is mainly because finding a 1GB (or even 16GB on powerpc) contiguous
memory is quite unlikely when the system has been running for a while.
In that situation, we will keep looping forever because scan_movable_pages()
will give us the same page and we will fail again because there is no node
where we can dequeue a gigantic page from.
This is not nice, and it has been raised that we might want to treat -ENOMEM
as a fatal error in do_migrate_range(), but this has to be checked further.
Anyway, I would tend say that this is the administrator's job, to make sure
that the system can keep up with the memory to be offlined, so that would mean
that if we want to use gigantic pages, make sure that the other nodes have at
least enough gigantic pages to keep up in case we need to offline memory.
Just for the sake of completeness, this is one of the tests done:

DAX pages were previously unprotected from longterm pins when users called
get_user_pages_fast().
Use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag to check for DEVMAP pages and fall back to
regular GUP processing if a DEVMAP page is encountered.

To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.
This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.
Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.
NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it".
HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance
advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages.
Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which
retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also
shown interest in using this functionality.[1]
In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag
and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939
"longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer.
This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and
can't move. I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we
have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to
solve the "longterm" problem. Then I think we can change the flag to a
better name.
Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory. I have
spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...
For the overall application performance. I don't have the numbers as the
tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago. But there was a significant
advantage. Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have
to hold mmap_sem.
Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use
*_fast. There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow
the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well. Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.
As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same. I agree and I think further cleanup
will be coming. But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at
the moment.
This patch (of 7):
This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in
get_user_pages_fast(). Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user
controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance
purposes.
Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce
FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it.
This patch does not change any functionality. In the short term
"longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX
in particular has been blocked. However, callers of get_user_pages_fast()
were not "protected".
FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it
requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use.
NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the
get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of
__get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages. This makes the
code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the
pages before and after a potential migration.
As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the
primary purpose of the series.
In review[1] it was asked:

Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"]
putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost
similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function.
This patch (of 4):
The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to
shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more
similar to move_active_pages_to_lru().
To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate.
Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside
shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages
for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array.
Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we
account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of
pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

alloc_pages_exact*() allocates a page of sufficient order and then splits
it to return only the number of pages requested. That makes it
incompatible with __GFP_COMP, because compound pages cannot be split.
As shown by [1] things may silently work until the requested size
(possibly depending on user) stops being power of two. Then for
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, BUG_ON() triggers in split_page(). Without
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, consequences are unclear.
There are several options here, none of them great:
1) Don't do the splitting when __GFP_COMP is passed, and return the
whole compound page. However if caller then returns it via
free_pages_exact(), that will be unexpected and the freeing actions
there will be wrong.
2) Warn and remove __GFP_COMP from the flags. But the caller may have
really wanted it, so things may break later somewhere.
3) Warn and return NULL. However NULL may be unexpected, especially
for small sizes.
This patch picks option 2, because as Michal Hocko put it: "callers wanted
it" is much less probable than "caller is simply confused and more gfp
flags is surely better than fewer".

Userfaultfd can be misued to make it easier to exploit existing
use-after-free (and similar) bugs that might otherwise only make a
short window or race condition available. By using userfaultfd to
stall a kernel thread, a malicious program can keep some state that it
wrote, stable for an extended period, which it can then access using an
existing exploit. While it doesn't cause the exploit itself, and while
it's not the only thing that can stall a kernel thread when accessing a
memory location, it's one of the few that never needs privilege.
We can add a flag, allowing userfaultfd to be restricted, so that in
general it won't be useable by arbitrary user programs, but in
environments that require userfaultfd it can be turned back on.
Add a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control
whether userfaultfd is allowed by unprivileged users. When this is
set to zero, only privileged users (root user, or users with the
CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability) will be able to use the userfaultfd
syscalls.
Andrea said:
: The only difference between the bpf sysctl and the userfaultfd sysctl
: this way is that the bpf sysctl adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
: requirement, while userfaultfd adds the CAP_SYS_PTRACE requirement,
: because the userfaultfd monitor is more likely to need CAP_SYS_PTRACE
: already if it's doing other kind of tracking on processes runtime, in
: addition of userfaultfd. In other words both syscalls works only for
: root, when the two sysctl are opt-in set to 1.
