<id>urn:sha1:98650804fa530943b45315b27ac5b607f1eacf58</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e80d3909be42f7e38cc350c1ba109cf0aa51956a upstream.

__apply_to_page_range() is also used to change and/or allocate
page-table pages in the vmalloc area of the address space.  Make sure
these changes get synchronized to other page-tables in the system by
calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings() when necessary.

The impact appears limited to x86-32, where apply_to_page_range may miss
updating the PMD.  That leads to explosions in drivers like

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fe036000
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode

<title>mm/memory.c: skip spurious TLB flush for retried page fault</title>

<id>urn:sha1:144fa0580fbe72a611e5106e75941436946048fc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b7333b58f358f38d90d78e00c1ee5dec82df10ad upstream.

Recently we found regression when running will_it_scale/page_fault3 test
on ARM64.  Over 70% down for the multi processes cases and over 20% down
for the multi threads cases.  It turns out the regression is caused by
commit 89b15332af7c ("mm: drop mmap_sem before calling
balance_dirty_pages() in write fault").

The test mmaps a memory size file then write to the mapping, this would
make all memory dirty and trigger dirty pages throttle, that upstream
commit would release mmap_sem then retry the page fault.  The retried
page fault would see correct PTEs installed then just fall through to
spurious TLB flush.  The regression is caused by the excessive spurious
TLB flush.  It is fine on x86 since x86's spurious TLB flush is no-op.

We could just skip the spurious TLB flush to mitigate the regression.

<content type='text'>
With synchronous IO swap device, swap-in is directly handled in fault
code.  Since IO cost notation isn't added there, with synchronous IO
swap device, LRU balancing could be wrongly biased.  Fix it to count it
in fault code.

<title>mm/memory.c: properly pte_offset_map_lock/unlock in vm_insert_pages()</title>

<content type='text'>
Calls to pte_offset_map() in vm_insert_pages() are erroneously not
matched with a call to pte_unmap().  This would cause problems on
architectures where that is not a no-op.

This patch does away with the non-traditional locking in the existing
code, and instead uses pte_offset_map_lock/unlock() as usual,
incrementing PTE as necessary.  The PTE pointer is kept within bounds
since we clamp it with PTRS_PER_PTE.

do_swap_page() returns error codes from the VM_FAULT* space.  try_charge()
might return -ENOMEM, though, and then do_swap_page() simply returns 0
which means a success.

We almost never return ENOMEM for GFP_KERNEL single page charge.  Except
for async OOM handling (oom_disabled v1).  So this needs translation to
VM_FAULT_OOM otherwise the the page fault path will not notify the
userspace and wait for an action.

Rename the mmap_sem field to mmap_lock.  Any new uses of this lock should
now go through the new mmap locking api.  The mmap_lock is still
implemented as a rwsem, though this could change in the future.
