commit 77677cdbc2aa4b5d5d839562793d3d126201d18d upstream.

The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to queue work
into workqueue and schedule it on the current CPU.  Then the work is
processed in memory_failure_work_func() by kworker and calls
memory_failure().

When a page is already poisoned, commit a3f5d80ea401 ("mm,hwpoison: send
SIGBUS with error virutal address") make memory_failure() call
kill_accessing_process() that:

    - holds mmap locking of current-&gt;mm
    - does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address
    - and sends SIGBUS to the current process with error info.

However, the mm of kworker is not valid, resulting in a null-pointer
dereference.  So check mm when killing the accessing process.

[ Upstream commit 7ce82f4c3f3ead13a9d9498768e3b1a79975c4d8 ]

We might fail to isolate huge page due to e.g.  the page is under
migration which cleared HPageMigratable.  We should return errno in this
case rather than always return 1 which could confuse the user, i.e.  the
caller might think all of the memory is migrated while the hugetlb page is
left behind.  We make the prototype of isolate_huge_page consistent with
isolate_lru_page as suggested by Huang Ying and rename isolate_huge_page
to isolate_hugetlb as suggested by Muchun to improve the readability.

<title>mm/memory-failure: disable unpoison once hw error happens</title>

<id>urn:sha1:67f22ba7750f940bcd7e1b12720896c505c2d63f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft
poison(hwpoison-inject) only.  Since 17fae1294ad9d, the KPTE gets cleared
on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts.

Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the
kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE.  This
leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.

Suggested by David&amp;Naoya, disable unpoison mechanism when a real HW error
happens to avoid BUG like this:

 Unpoison: Software-unpoisoned page 0x61234
 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888061234000

<title>mm: don't be stuck to rmap lock on reclaim path</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6d4675e601357834dadd2ba1d803f6484596015c</id>
<content type='text'>
The rmap locks(i_mmap_rwsem and anon_vma-&gt;root-&gt;rwsem) could be contended
under memory pressure if processes keep working on their vmas(e.g., fork,
mmap, munmap).  It makes reclaim path stuck.  In our real workload traces,
we see kswapd is waiting the lock for 300ms+(worst case, a sec) and it
makes other processes entering direct reclaim, which were also stuck on
the lock.

This patch makes lru aging path try_lock mode like shink_page_list so the
reclaim context will keep working with next lru pages without being stuck.
if it found the rmap lock contended, it rotates the page back to head of
lru in both active/inactive lrus to make them consistent behavior, which
is basic starting point rather than adding more heristic.

Since this patch introduces a new "contended" field as out-param along
with try_lock in-param in rmap_walk_control, it's not immutable any longer
if the try_lock is set so remove const keywords on rmap related functions.
Since rmap walking is already expensive operation, I doubt the const
would help sizable benefit( And we didn't have it until 5.17).

In a heavy app workload in Android, trace shows following statistics.  It
almost removes rmap lock contention from reclaim path.

Originally, do num_poisoned_pages_inc() in memory failure routine, use
num_poisoned_pages_dec() to rollback the number if filtered/ cancelled.

Suggested by Naoya, do num_poisoned_pages_inc() only in action_result(),
this make this clear and simple.

<content type='text'>
hwpoison_filter is missing in the soft offline path, this leads an issue:
after enabling the corrupt filter, the user process still has a chance to
inject hwpoison fault by madvise(addr, len, MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) at PFN
which is expected to reject.

Also do a minor change in comment of memory_failure().

<content type='text'>
Don't decrease the number of poisoned pages in page_alloc.c, let the
memory-failure.c do inc/dec poisoned pages only.

Also simplify unpoison_memory(), only decrease the number of
poisoned pages when:
 - TestClearPageHWPoison() succeed
 - put_page_back_buddy succeed

After decreasing, print necessary log.

Finally, remove clear_page_hwpoison() and unpoison_taken_off_page().

Patch series "memory-failure: fix hwpoison_filter", v2.

As well known, the memory failure mechanism handles memory corrupted
event, and try to send SIGBUS to the user process which uses this
corrupted page.

For the virtualization case, QEMU catches SIGBUS and tries to inject MCE
into the guest, and the guest handles memory failure again.  Thus the
guest gets the minimal effect from hardware memory corruption.

The further step I'm working on:

1, try to modify code to decrease poisoned pages in a single place
   (mm/memofy-failure.c: simplify num_poisoned_pages_dec in this series).

2, try to use page_handle_poison() to handle SetPageHWPoison() and
   num_poisoned_pages_inc() together.  It would be best to call
   num_poisoned_pages_inc() in a single place too.

3, introduce memory failure notifier list in memory-failure.c: notify
   the corrupted PFN to someone who registers this list.  If I can
   complete [1] and [2] part, [3] will be quite easy(just call notifier
   list after increasing poisoned page).

4, introduce memory recover VQ for memory balloon device, and registers
   memory failure notifier list.  During the guest kernel handles memory
   failure, balloon device gets notified by memory failure notifier list,
   and tells the host to recover the corrupted PFN(GPA) by the new VQ.

5, host side remaps the corrupted page(HVA), and tells the guest side
   to unpoison the PFN(GPA).  Then the guest fixes the corrupted page(GPA)
   dynamically.


This patch (of 5):

clear_hwpoisoned_pages() clears HWPoison flag and decreases the number of
poisoned pages, this actually works as part of memory failure.

Move this function from sparse.c to memory-failure.c, finally there is no
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE in sparse.c.

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".

Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.

This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD.  The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.

Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem.  It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back.  This
series changes to use a new -&gt;swap_rw rather than -&gt;readpage and
-&gt;direct_IO.  It also makes other improvements.

There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS.  Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use -&gt;swap_rw.


This patch (of 10):

Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/

Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.
Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: mm/memory-failure.c needs mm/swap.h]
