Page faults can race with fallocate hole punch. If a page fault happens between the unmap and remove operations, the page is not removed and remains within the hole. This is not the desired behavior. The race is difficult to detect in user level code as even in the non-race case, a page within the hole could be faulted back in before fallocate returns. If userfaultfd is expanded to support hugetlbfs in the future, this race will be easier to observe. If this race is detected and a page is mapped, the remove operation (remove_inode_hugepages) will unmap the page before removing. The unmap within remove_inode_hugepages occurs with the hugetlb_fault_mutex held so that no other faults will be processed until the page is removed. The (unmodified) routine hugetlb_vmdelete_list was moved ahead of remove_inode_hugepages to satisfy the new reference. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: move hugetlb_vmdelete_list()] Signed-off-by:

Hillf Danton noticed bugs in the hugetlb_vmtruncate_list routine. The argument end is of type pgoff_t. It was being converted to a vaddr offset and passed to unmap_hugepage_range. However, end was also being used as an argument to the vma_interval_tree_foreach controlling loop. In addition, the conversion of end to vaddr offset was incorrect. hugetlb_vmtruncate_list is called as part of a file truncate or fallocate hole punch operation. When truncating a hugetlbfs file, this bug could prevent some pages from being unmapped. This is possible if there are multiple vmas mapping the file, and there is a sufficiently sized hole between the mappings. The size of the hole between two vmas (A,B) must be such that the starting virtual address of B is greater than (ending virtual address of A << PAGE_SHIFT). In this case, the pages in B would not be unmapped. If pages are not properly unmapped during truncate, the following BUG is hit: kernel BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:428! In the fallocate hole punch case, this bug could prevent pages from being unmapped as in the truncate case. However, for hole punch the result is that unmapped pages will not be removed during the operation. For hole punch, it is also possible that more pages than desired will be unmapped. This unnecessary unmapping will cause page faults to reestablish the mappings on subsequent page access.

Both s390 and powerpc have hit the issue of swapoff hanging, when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY ifdefs were not quite as x86_64 had them. I think it would be much clearer if HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY was just a Kconfig option set by architectures to determine whether the MEM_SOFT_DIRTY option should be offered, and the actual code depend upon CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY alone. But won't embark on that change myself: instead make swapoff more robust, by using pte_swp_clear_soft_dirty() on each pte it encounters, without an explicit #ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY. That being a no-op, whether the bit in question is defined as 0 or the asm-generic fallback is used, unless soft dirty is fully turned on. Why "maybe" in maybe_same_pte()? Rename it pte_same_as_swp(). Signed-off-by:

Dmitry Vyukov has reported[1] possible deadlock (triggered by his syzkaller fuzzer): Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key); lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem); lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key); lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem); Both traces points to mm_take_all_locks() as a source of the problem. It doesn't take care about ordering or hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key (aka mapping->i_mmap_rwsem for hugetlb mapping) vs. i_mmap_rwsem. huge_pmd_share() does memory allocation under hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key and allocator can take i_mmap_rwsem if it hit reclaim. So we need to take i_mmap_rwsem from all hugetlb VMAs before taking i_mmap_rwsem from rest of VMAs. The patch also documents locking order for hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key.

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem. Signed-off-by:

A dax mapping establishes a pte with _PAGE_DEVMAP set when the driver has established a devm_memremap_pages() mapping, i.e. when the pfn_t return from ->direct_access() has PFN_DEV and PFN_MAP set. Later, when encountering _PAGE_DEVMAP during a page table walk we lookup and pin a struct dev_pagemap instance to keep the result of pfn_to_page() valid until put_page(). Signed-off-by:

A dax-huge-page mapping while it uses some thp helpers is ultimately not a transparent huge page. The distinction is especially important in the get_user_pages() path. pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds from pmd_huge() and pmd_trans_huge() which have slightly different semantics. Explicitly mark the pmd_trans_huge() helpers that dax needs by adding pmd_devmap() checks.

get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page objects are in use. Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or is in the process of being, disabled. While the initial lookup of the range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range. devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified at init time. For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device pages". ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an lru reclaim list. That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always trip __list_add() to assert. This allows half of the struct list_head storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never attempted.

Before the dynamically allocated struct pages from devm_memremap_pages() can be put to use outside the driver, we need a mechanism to track whether they are still in use at teardown. Towards that goal reorder the initialization sequence to allow the 'q_usage_counter' from the request_queue to be used by the devm_memremap_pages() implementation (in subsequent patches).

Convert the raw unsigned long 'pfn' argument to pfn_t for the purpose of evaluating the PFN_MAP and PFN_DEV flags. When both are set it triggers _PAGE_DEVMAP to be set in the resulting pte. There are no functional changes to the gpu drivers as a result of this conversion. Signed-off-by:

_PAGE_DEVMAP is a hardware-unused pte bit that will later be used in the get_user_pages() path to identify pfns backed by the dynamic allocation established by devm_memremap_pages. Upon seeing that bit the gup path will lookup and pin the allocation while the pages are in use. Since the _PAGE_DEVMAP bit is > 32 it must be cast to u64 instead of a pteval_t to allow pmd_flags() usage in the realmode boot code to build. Signed-off-by:

In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for allocating memory for the memmap array. The default vmemmap_populate() allocates page table storage area from the page allocator. Given persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to store the memmap in 'System Memory'. Instead vmem_altmap represents pre-allocated "device pages" to satisfy vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() requests. Signed-off-by:

There are several scenarios where we need to retrieve and update metadata associated with a given devm_memremap_pages() mapping, and the only lookup key available is a pfn in the range: 1/ We want to augment vmemmap_populate() (called via arch_add_memory()) to allocate memmap storage from pre-allocated pages reserved by the device driver. At vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() time it grabs device pages rather than page allocator pages. This is in support of devm_memremap_pages() mappings where the memmap is too large to fit in main memory (i.e. large persistent memory devices). 2/ Taking a reference against the mapping when inserting device pages into the address_space radix of a given inode. This facilitates unmap_mapping_range() and truncate_inode_pages() operations when the driver is tearing down the mapping. 3/ get_user_pages() operations on ZONE_DEVICE memory require taking a reference against the mapping so that the driver teardown path can revoke and drain usage of device pages.

For the purpose of communicating the optional presence of a 'struct page' for the pfn returned from ->direct_access(), introduce a type that encapsulates a page-frame-number plus flags. These flags contain the historical "page_link" encoding for a scatterlist entry, but can also denote "device memory". Where "device memory" is a set of pfns that are not part of the kernel's linear mapping by default, but are accessed via the same memory controller as ram. The motivation for this new type is large capacity persistent memory that needs struct page entries in the 'memmap' to support 3rd party DMA (i.e. O_DIRECT I/O with a persistent memory source/target). However, we also need it in support of maintaining a list of mapped inodes which need to be unmapped at driver teardown or freeze_bdev() time. Signed-off-by:

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator.

However, __handle_mm_fault() returns without falling back to handle_pte_fault() because a PMD map is present in this case.

Prior to this change DAX PMD mappings that were made read-only were never able to be made writable again. This is because the code in insert_pfn_pmd() that calls pmd_mkdirty() and pmd_mkwrite() would skip these calls if the PMD already existed in the page table. Instead, if we are doing a write always mark the PMD entry as dirty and writeable. Without this code we can get into a condition where we mark the PMD as read-only, and then on a subsequent write fault we get into an infinite loop of PMD faults where we try unsuccessfully to make the PMD writeable.

Sasha Levin has reported KASAN out-of-bounds bug[1]. It points to "if (!is_swap_pte(pte[i]))" in unfreeze_page_vma() as a problematic access. The cause is that split_huge_page() doesn't handle THP correctly if it's not allingned to PMD boundary. It can happen after mremap(). Test-case (not always triggers the bug): #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #define MB (1024UL*1024) #define SIZE (2*MB) #define BASE ((void *)0x400000000000) int main() { char *p; p = mmap(BASE, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_POPULATE, -1, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) perror("mmap"), exit(1); p = mremap(BASE, SIZE, SIZE, MREMAP_FIXED | MREMAP_MAYMOVE, BASE + SIZE + 8192); if (p == MAP_FAILED) perror("mremap"), exit(1); system("echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages"); return 0; } The patch fixes freeze and unfreeze paths to handle page table boundary crossing. It also makes mapcount vs count check in split_huge_page_to_list() stricter: - after freeze we don't expect any subpage mapped as we remove them from rmap when setting up migration entries; - count must be 1, meaning only caller has reference to the page; [1] https://gist.github.com/sashalevin/c67fbea55e7c0576972aSigned-off-by:Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by:
