mm: fall back to mmap_lock if vma->anon_vma is not yet set

When vma->anon_vma is not set, page fault handler will set it by either
reusing anon_vma of an adjacent VMA if VMAs are compatible or by
allocating a new one. find_mergeable_anon_vma() walks VMA tree to find a
compatible adjacent VMA and that requires not only the faulting VMA to be
stable but also the tree structure and other VMAs inside that tree.
Therefore locking just the faulting VMA is not enough for this search.
Fall back to taking mmap_lock when vma->anon_vma is not set. This
situation happens only on the first page fault and should not affect
overall performance.

Introduce lock_vma_under_rcu function to lookup and lock a VMA during page
fault handling. When VMA is not found, can't be locked or changes after
being locked, the function returns NULL. The lookup is performed under
RCU protection to prevent the found VMA from being destroyed before the
VMA lock is acquired. VMA lock statistics are updated according to the
results. For now only anonymous VMAs can be searched this way. In other
cases the function returns NULL.

mm: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_prot()

Patch series "Remove drm/ttm-specific mm changes".

Functionality was added specifically for the DRM TTM driver to support
mapping memory for VM_MIXEDMAP VMAs with customised protection flags,
however this has now been rolled back as issues were found with this
approach.

This series removes the mm changes too, retaining some of the useful
comments.


This patch (of 3):

The sole user of vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), the drm ttm module, stopped
using this in commit f91142c62161 ("drm/ttm: nuke VM_MIXEDMAP on BO
mappings v3") citing use of VM_MIXEDMAP in this case being terribly
broken.

Remove this now-dead code and references to it, but retain the useful
description of the prot != vma->vm_page_prot case, moving it to
vmf_insert_pfn_prot() instead.

mm: refactor do_fault_around()

Patch series "Refactor do_fault_around()"

Refactor do_fault_around() to avoid bitwise tricks and rather difficult to
follow logic. Additionally, prefer fault_around_pages to
fault_around_bytes as the operations are performed at a base page
granularity.


This patch (of 2):

The existing logic is confusing and fails to abstract a number of bitwise
tricks.

Use ALIGN_DOWN() to perform alignment, pte_index() to obtain a PTE index
and represent the address range using PTE offsets, which naturally make it
clear that the operation is intended to occur within only a single PTE and
prevent spanning of more than one page table.

We rely on the fact that fault_around_bytes will always be page-aligned,
at least one page in size, a power of two and that it will not exceed
PAGE_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PTE in size (i.e. the address space mapped by a
PTE). These are all guaranteed by fault_around_bytes_set().

mm/uffd: UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED

Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4.

The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on
userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes.

It can be useful in two cases:

(1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot,
so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up
protections

(2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1]

It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the
new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the
pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to
service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later.

The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some
change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye
looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.


This patch (of 2):

This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes. When
it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file
memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes.

File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of
none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not.
For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we
don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages.

One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without
wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the
holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when
the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros.

QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in
zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1].

Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for
detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2]. In that
case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty
info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the
current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being
cleared).

In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for
anonymous.

This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make
uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory
type is underneath. It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far
because we already have pte markers taking care of that. So it only
affects anonymous.

The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained.
Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will
contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte
markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte
markers. So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first
fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd.

The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand
pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the
new feature bit is set.

Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few
small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults. But
they should be straightforward.

With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all
the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot. Quotting from
Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]:

(1) With huge page disabled
echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 1111453 (pre-fault 1101011)
Test MADVISE: 278276 (pre-fault 266378)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 11712

(2) With Huge page enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 22521 (pre-fault 22348)
Test MADVISE: 4909 (pre-fault 4743)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 14448

There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with
extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE,
but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced
but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially
it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.

page whilst it is being accessed from a device. Typically th

mm: take a page reference when removing device exclusive entries

Device exclusive page table entries are used to prevent CPU access to a
page whilst it is being accessed from a device. Typically this is used to
implement atomic operations when the underlying bus does not support
atomic access. When a CPU thread encounters a device exclusive entry it
locks the page and restores the original entry after calling mmu notifiers
to signal drivers that exclusive access is no longer available.

The device exclusive entry holds a reference to the page making it safe to
access the struct page whilst the entry is present. However the fault
handling code does not hold the PTL when taking the page lock. This means
if there are multiple threads faulting concurrently on the device
exclusive entry one will remove the entry whilst others will wait on the
page lock without holding a reference.

This can lead to threads locking or waiting on a folio with a zero
refcount. Whilst mmap_lock prevents the pages getting freed via munmap()
they may still be freed by a migration. This leads to warnings such as
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE due to the page being locked when the refcount
drops to zero.

Fix this by trying to take a reference on the folio before locking it.
The code already checks the PTE under the PTL and aborts if the entry is
no longer there. It is also possible the folio has been unmapped, freed
and re-allocated allowing a reference to be taken on an unrelated folio.
This case is also detected by the PTE check and the folio is unlocked
without further changes.

x86/mm/pat: clear VM_PAT if copy_p4d_range failed

Syzbot reports a warning in untrack_pfn(). Digging into the root we found
that this is due to memory allocation failure in pmd_alloc_one. And this
failure is produced due to failslab.

In copy_page_range(), memory alloaction for pmd failed. During the error
handling process in copy_page_range(), mmput() is called to remove all
vmas. While untrack_pfn this empty pfn, warning happens.

Here's a simplified flow:

dup_mm
dup_mmap
copy_page_range
copy_p4d_range
copy_pud_range
copy_pmd_range
pmd_alloc
__pmd_alloc
pmd_alloc_one
page = alloc_pages(gfp, 0);
if (!page)
return NULL;
mmput
exit_mmap
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
untrack_pfn
follow_phys
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);

Since this vma is not generate successfully, we can clear flag VM_PAT. In
this case, untrack_pfn() will not be called while cleaning this vma.

Function untrack_pfn_moved() has also been renamed to fit the new logic.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2023-02-20-13-37' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

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 cleanup and bugfixing in the series
"mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() & fix UAF".

- T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
"mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

- Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
statistics".

- Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
during compaction".

- Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
"cleanup vfree and vunmap".

- Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in
ths series "remove ->rw_page".

- We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

- Suren Baghdasaryan has done some work on the maintainability of our
vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
functions".

- Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

- Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
/proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
"mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

- Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
GUP".

- SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

- Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
and clean-ups" series.

- Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

- Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".
