<id>urn:sha1:7c5f94349ac6b14a42469bc0909e63a0e77cdb21</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 30faaafdfa0c754c91bac60f216c9f34a2bfdf7e upstream.

Commit 9c17d96500f7 ("xen/gntdev: Grant maps should not be subject to
NUMA balancing") set VM_IO flag to prevent grant maps from being
subjected to NUMA balancing.

It was discovered recently that this flag causes get_user_pages() to
always fail with -EFAULT.

check_vma_flags
__get_user_pages
__get_user_pages_locked
__get_user_pages_unlocked
get_user_pages_fast
iov_iter_get_pages
dio_refill_pages
do_direct_IO
do_blockdev_direct_IO
do_blockdev_direct_IO
ext4_direct_IO_read
generic_file_read_iter
aio_run_iocb

(which can happen if guest's vdisk has direct-io-safe option).

To avoid this let's use VM_MIXEDMAP flag instead --- it prevents
NUMA balancing just as VM_IO does and has no effect on
check_vma_flags().

<content type='text'>
commit 9c17d96500f78d7ecdb71ca6942830158bc75a2b upstream.

Doing so will cause the grant to be unmapped and then, during
fault handling, the fault to be mistakenly treated as NUMA hint
fault.

In addition, even if those maps could partcipate in NUMA
balancing, it wouldn't provide any benefit since we are unable
to determine physical page's node (even if/when VNUMA is
implemented).

Marking grant maps' VMAs as VM_IO will exclude them from being
part of NUMA balancing.

commit 1401c00e59ea021c575f74612fe2dbba36d6a4ee upstream.

Unmapping may require sleeping and we unmap while holding priv-&gt;lock, so
convert it to a mutex.

<title>xen/m2p: use GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace to reinstate the original mapping</title>

<content type='text'>
GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref unmaps a grant and replaces it with a 0
mapping instead of reinstating the original mapping.
Doing so separately would be racy.

To unmap a grant and reinstate the original mapping atomically we use
GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace.
GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace doesn't work with GNTMAP_contains_pte, so
don't use it for kmaps.  GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace zeroes the mapping
passed in new_addr so we have to reinstate it, however that is a
per-cpu mapping only used for balloon scratch pages, so we can be sure that
it's not going to be accessed while the mapping is not valid.

Convert printks to pr_&lt;level&gt; (excludes printk(KERN_DEBUG...)
to be more consistent throughout the xen subsystem.

Add pr_fmt with KBUILD_MODNAME or "xen:" KBUILD_MODNAME
Coalesce formats and add missing word spaces
Add missing newlines
Align arguments and reflow to 80 columns
Remove DRV_NAME from formats as pr_fmt adds the same content

This does change some of the prefixes of these messages
but it also does make them more consistent.

Since there is now a mapping of granted pages in kernel address space in
both PV and HVM, use it for UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE instead of accessing
memory via copy_to_user and triggering sleep-in-atomic warnings.

If gntdev_ioctl_unmap_grant_ref is called on a range before unmapping
it, the entry is removed from priv-&gt;maps and the later call to
mn_invl_range_start won't find it to do the unmapping. Fix this by
creating another list of freeable maps that the mmu notifier can search
and use to unmap grants.

In gntdev_ioctl_get_offset_for_vaddr, we need to hold mmap_sem while
calling find_vma() to avoid potentially having the result freed out from
under us.  Similarly, the MMU notifier functions need to synchronize with
gntdev_vma_close to avoid map-&gt;vma being freed during their iteration.

<title>mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm-&gt;reserved_vm counter</title>

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
