      Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Per your suggestion, random reads now won't fail if there's a page
   fault after some non-zero amount of data has been read, which makes
   the behavior consistent with all other reads in the kernel.

 - Rather than an inconsistent mix of random_get_entropy() returning an
   unsigned long or a cycles_t, now it just returns an unsigned long.

 - A memcpy() was replaced with an memmove(), because the addresses are
   sometimes overlapping. In practice the destination is always before
   the source, so not really an issue, but better to be correct than
   not.

      random: use memmove instead of memcpy for remaining 32 bytes · 35a33ff3
      Jason A. Donenfeld authored 
      In order to immediately overwrite the old key on the stack, before
servicing a userspace request for bytes, we use the remaining 32 bytes
of block 0 as the key. This means moving indices 8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f ->
4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b. Since 4 < 8, for the kernel implementations of
memcpy(), this doesn't actually appear to be a problem in practice. But
relying on that characteristic seems a bit brittle. So let's change that
to a proper memmove(), which is the by-the-books way of handling
overlapping memory copies.

      mm/vmalloc: fix spinning drain_vmap_work after reading from /proc/vmcore · c12cd77c
      Omar Sandoval authored 
      Commit 3ee48b6a ("mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of
vmas") introduced set_iounmap_nonlazy(), which sets vmap_lazy_nr to
lazy_max_pages() + 1, ensuring that any future vunmaps() immediately
purge the vmap areas instead of doing it lazily.

Commit 690467c8 ("mm/vmalloc: Move draining areas out of caller
context") moved the purging from the vunmap() caller to a worker thread.
Unfortunately, set_iounmap_nonlazy() can cause the worker thread to spin
(possibly forever).  For example, consider the following scenario:

 1. Thread reads from /proc/vmcore. This eventually calls
    __copy_oldmem_page() -> set_iounmap_nonlazy(), which sets
    vmap_lazy_nr to lazy_max_pages() + 1.

 2. Then it calls free_vmap_area_noflush() (via iounmap()), which adds 2
    pages (one page plus the guard page) to the purge list and
    vmap_lazy_nr. vmap_lazy_nr is now lazy_max_pages() + 3, so the
    drain_vmap_work is scheduled.

 3. Thread returns from the kernel and is scheduled out.

 4. Worker thread is scheduled in and calls drain_vmap_area_work(). It
    frees the 2 pages on the purge list. vmap_lazy_nr is now
    lazy_max_pages() + 1.

 5. This is still over the threshold, so it tries to purge areas again,
    but doesn't find anything.

 6. Repeat 5.

If the system is running with only one CPU (which is typicial for kdump)
and preemption is disabled, then this will never make forward progress:
there aren't any more pages to purge, so it hangs.  If there is more
than one CPU or preemption is enabled, then the worker thread will spin
forever in the background.  (Note that if there were already pages to be
purged at the time that set_iounmap_nonlazy() was called, this bug is
avoided.)

This can be reproduced with anything that reads from /proc/vmcore
multiple times.  E.g., vmcore-dmesg /proc/vmcore.

It turns out that improvements to vmap() over the years have obsoleted
the need for this "optimization".  I benchmarked `dd if=/proc/vmcore
of=/dev/null` with 4k and 1M read sizes on a system with a 32GB vmcore.
The test was run on 5.17, 5.18-rc1 with a fix that avoided the hang, and
5.18-rc1 with set_iounmap_nonlazy() removed entirely:

    |5.17  |5.18+fix|5.18+removal
  4k|40.86s|  40.09s|      26.73s
  1M|24.47s|  23.98s|      21.84s

The removal was the fastest (by a wide margin with 4k reads).  This
patch removes set_iounmap_nonlazy().

      hugetlb: do not demote poisoned hugetlb pages · 5a317412
      Mike Kravetz authored 
      It is possible for poisoned hugetlb pages to reside on the free lists.
The huge page allocation routines which dequeue entries from the free
lists make a point of avoiding poisoned pages.  There is no such check
and avoidance in the demote code path.

If a hugetlb page on the is on a free list, poison will only be set in
the head page rather then the page with the actual error.  If such a
page is demoted, then the poison flag may follow the wrong page.  A page
without error could have poison set, and a page with poison could not
have the flag set.

Check for poison before attempting to demote a hugetlb page.  Also,
return -EBUSY to the caller if only poisoned pages are on the free list.

  read zeroed data

The swap_slot_free_notify is bogus for CLONE_VM case since it doesn't
increase the refcount of swap slot at copy_mm so it couldn't catch up
whether it's safe or not to discard data from backing device.  In the
case, only the lock it could rely on to synchronize swap slot freeing is
page table lock.  Thus, this patch gets rid of the swap_slot_free_notify
function.  With this patch, CPU A will see correct data.

The concern of the patch would increase memory consumption since it
could keep wasted memory with compressed form in zram as well as
uncompressed form in address space.  However, most of cases of zram uses
no readahead and do_swap_page is followed by swap_free so it will free
the compressed form from in zram quickly.

      mm, page_alloc: fix build_zonerefs_node() · e553f62f
      Juergen Gross authored 
      Since commit 6aa303de ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from
zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") only zones with free
memory are included in a built zonelist.  This is problematic when e.g.
all memory of a zone has been ballooned out when zonelists are being
rebuilt.

The decision whether to rebuild the zonelists when onlining new memory
is done based on populated_zone() returning 0 for the zone the memory
will be added to.  The new zone is added to the zonelists only, if it
has free memory pages (managed_zone() returns a non-zero value) after
the memory has been onlined.  This implies, that onlining memory will
always free the added pages to the allocator immediately, but this is
not true in all cases: when e.g. running as a Xen guest the onlined new
memory will be added only to the ballooned memory list, it will be freed
only when the guest is being ballooned up afterwards.

Another problem with using managed_zone() for the decision whether a
zone is being added to the zonelists is, that a zone with all memory
used will in fact be removed from all zonelists in case the zonelists
happen to be rebuilt.

Use populated_zone() when building a zonelist as it has been done before
that commit.

There was a report that QubesOS (based on Xen) is hitting this problem.
Xen has switched to use the zone device functionality in kernel 5.9 and
QubesOS wants to use memory hotplugging for guests in order to be able
to start a guest with minimal memory and expand it as needed.  This was
the report leading to the patch.
