[ Upstream commit e399257349098bf7c84343f99efb2bc9c22eb9fd ]

Currently, the behavior of zswap.writeback wrt.  the cgroup hierarchy
seems a bit odd.  Unlike zswap.max, it doesn't honor the value from parent
cgroups.  This surfaced when people tried to globally disable zswap
writeback, i.e.  reserve physical swap space only for hibernation [1] -
disabling zswap.writeback only for the root cgroup results in subcgroups
with zswap.writeback=1 still performing writeback.

The inconsistency became more noticeable after I introduced the
MemoryZSwapWriteback= systemd unit setting [2] for controlling the knob.
The patch assumed that the kernel would enforce the value of parent
cgroups.  It could probably be workarounded from systemd's side, by going
up the slice unit tree and inheriting the value.  Yet I think it's more
sensible to make it behave consistently with zswap.max and friends.

<title>memcg: protect concurrent access to mem_cgroup_idr</title>

<id>urn:sha1:51c0b1bb7541f8893ec1accba59eb04361a70946</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9972605a238339b85bd16b084eed5f18414d22db upstream.

Commit 73f576c04b94 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after
many small jobs") decoupled the memcg IDs from the CSS ID space to fix the
cgroup creation failures.  It introduced IDR to maintain the memcg ID
space.  The IDR depends on external synchronization mechanisms for
modifications.  For the mem_cgroup_idr, the idr_alloc() and idr_replace()
happen within css callback and thus are protected through cgroup_mutex
from concurrent modifications.  However idr_remove() for mem_cgroup_idr
was not protected against concurrency and can be run concurrently for
different memcgs when they hit their refcnt to zero.  Fix that.

We have been seeing list_lru based kernel crashes at a low frequency in
our fleet for a long time.  These crashes were in different part of
list_lru code including list_lru_add(), list_lru_del() and reparenting
code.  Upon further inspection, it looked like for a given object (dentry
and inode), the super_block's list_lru didn't have list_lru_one for the
memcg of that object.  The initial suspicions were either the object is
not allocated through kmem_cache_alloc_lru() or somehow
memcg_list_lru_alloc() failed to allocate list_lru_one() for a memcg but
returned success.  No evidence were found for these cases.

Looking more deeply, we started seeing situations where valid memcg's id
is not present in mem_cgroup_idr and in some cases multiple valid memcgs
have same id and mem_cgroup_idr is pointing to one of them.  So, the most
reasonable explanation is that these situations can happen due to race
between multiple idr_remove() calls or race between
idr_alloc()/idr_replace() and idr_remove().  These races are causing
multiple memcgs to acquire the same ID and then offlining of one of them
would cleanup list_lrus on the system for all of them.  Later access from
other memcgs to the list_lru cause crashes due to missing list_lru_one.

<title>mm: fix crashes from deferred split racing folio migration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:be9581ea8c058d81154251cb0695987098996cad</id>
<content type='text'>
Even on 6.10-rc6, I've been seeing elusive "Bad page state"s (often on
flags when freeing, yet the flags shown are not bad: PG_locked had been
set and cleared??), and VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)s from
deferred_split_scan()'s folio_put(), and a variety of other BUG and WARN
symptoms implying double free by deferred split and large folio migration.

6.7 commit 9bcef5973e31 ("mm: memcg: fix split queue list crash when large
folio migration") was right to fix the memcg-dependent locking broken in
85ce2c517ade ("memcontrol: only transfer the memcg data for migration"),
but missed a subtlety of deferred_split_scan(): it moves folios to its own
local list to work on them without split_queue_lock, during which time
folio-&gt;_deferred_list is not empty, but even the "right" lock does nothing
to secure the folio and the list it is on.

Fortunately, deferred_split_scan() is careful to use folio_try_get(): so
folio_migrate_mapping() can avoid the race by folio_undo_large_rmappable()
while the old folio's reference count is temporarily frozen to 0 - adding
such a freeze in the !mapping case too (originally, folio lock and
unmapping and no swap cache left an anon folio unreachable, so no freezing
was needed there: but the deferred split queue offers a way to reach it).

<title>mm: shmem: fix getting incorrect lruvec when replacing a shmem folio</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9094b4a1c76cfe84b906cc152bab34d4ba26fa5c</id>
<content type='text'>
When testing shmem swapin, I encountered the warning below on my machine. 
The reason is that replacing an old shmem folio with a new one causes
mem_cgroup_migrate() to clear the old folio's memcg data.  As a result,
the old folio cannot get the correct memcg's lruvec needed to remove
itself from the LRU list when it is being freed.  This could lead to
possible serious problems, such as LRU list crashes due to holding the
wrong LRU lock, and incorrect LRU statistics.

To fix this issue, we can fallback to use the mem_cgroup_replace_folio()
to replace the old shmem folio.

<title>memcg: remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate()</title>

<content type='text'>
The assert was introduced in the commit cited below as an insurance that
the semantic is the same after the local_irq_save() has been removed and
the function has been made static.

The original requirement to disable interrupt was due the modification
of per-CPU counters which require interrupts to be disabled because the
counter update operation is not atomic and some of the counters are
updated from interrupt context.

All callers of __mod_objcg_mlstate() acquire a lock
(memcg_stock.stock_lock) which disables interrupts on !PREEMPT_RT and
the lockdep assert is satisfied. On PREEMPT_RT the interrupts are not
disabled and the assert triggers.

The safety of the counter update is already ensured by
VM_WARN_ON_IRQS_ENABLED() which is part of __mod_memcg_lruvec_state() and
does not require yet another check.

Remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate().

alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() returns int that doesn't map to any errno
error code.  The only existing caller doesn't really need an error code so
change the function to return bool (true on success) because this is
slightly less confusing and more consistent with the other code.

A memcg pointer in the per-cpu stock can be accessed by
drain_all_stock() and consume_stock() in parallel, causing a potential
race, which is believed to e harmless.

KCSAN shows this data-race clearly in the splat below:

	BUG: KCSAN: data-race in drain_all_stock.part.0 / try_charge_memcg

	write to 0xffff88903f8b0788 of 4 bytes by task 35901 on cpu 2:

	ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:257)

	value changed: 0x00000014 -&gt; 0x00000013

This happens because drain_all_stock() is reading stock-&gt;nr_pages, while
consume_stock() might be updating the same address, causing a potential
data-race.

Make the shared addresses bulletproof regarding to reads and writes,
similarly to what stock-&gt;cached_objcg and stock-&gt;cached.
Annotate all accesses to stock-&gt;nr_pages with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().
