      mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker caused by replace_page_cache_page() · 22f2ac51
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Antonio reports the following crash when using fuse under memory pressure:

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

Fixes: 449dd698 ("mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check")

      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:

 - Four fixes for "flush hint" support.

   Flush hints are addresses advertised by the ACPI 6+ NFIT (NVDIMM
   Firmware Interface Table) that when written and fenced guarantee that
   writes pending in platform write buffers (outside the cpu) have been
   flushed to media.  They might also be used by hypervisors as a
   trigger condition to flush guest-persistent memory ranges to storage.

    Fix a potential data corruption issue, a broken definition of the
    hint array, a wrong allocation size for the unit test implementation
    of the flush hint table, and missing NULL check in an error path.

    The unit test, while it did not prevent these bugs from being
    merged, at least triggered occasional crashes in advance of
    production usages.

 - Fix handling of ACPI DSM error status results.  The DSM mechanism
   allows communication with platform and memory device firmware.  We
   correctly parse known errors, but were silently ignoring others.

   Fix it to consistently fail any command with a non-zero status return
   that we otherwise do not interpret / handle.

      mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing · 38e08854
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored 
      The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.

However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
__get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
region.

A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
simple repro code.

There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange
behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.

This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

      radix tree: fix sibling entry handling in radix_tree_descend() · 8d2c0d36
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is
broken.  The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged
pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the
pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits.  But gcc will
notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will
avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly.

This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to
validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and
using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer.  And
once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer
directly.

[ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel
  right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is
  that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said:

    "Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
     It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.

     I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need
     something.  (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2].  It looks
     okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't
     know much about radix-tree internals.)"
