commit 2a058ab3286d6475b2082b90c2d2182d2fea4b39 upstream.

Some callers of vmf_anon_prepare() may not want us to release the per-VMA
lock ourselves.  Rename vmf_anon_prepare() to __vmf_anon_prepare() and let
the callers drop the lock when desired.

Also, make vmf_anon_prepare() a wrapper that releases the per-VMA lock
itself for any callers that don't care.

This is in preparation to fix this bug reported by syzbot:

<title>mm: avoid leaving partial pfn mappings around in error case</title>

commit 79a61cc3fc0466ad2b7b89618a6157785f0293b3 upstream.

As Jann points out, PFN mappings are special, because unlike normal
memory mappings, there is no lifetime information associated with the
mapping - it is just a raw mapping of PFNs with no reference counting of
a 'struct page'.

That's all very much intentional, but it does mean that it's easy to
mess up the cleanup in case of errors.  Yes, a failed mmap() will always
eventually clean up any partial mappings, but without any explicit
lifetime in the page table mapping itself, it's very easy to do the
error handling in the wrong order.

In particular, it's easy to mistakenly free the physical backing store
before the page tables are actually cleaned up and (temporarily) have
stale dangling PTE entries.

To make this situation less error-prone, just make sure that any partial
pfn mapping is torn down early, before any other error handling.

<title>mm/numa: no task_numa_fault() call if PTE is changed</title>

commit 40b760cfd44566bca791c80e0720d70d75382b84 upstream.

When handling a numa page fault, task_numa_fault() should be called by a
process that restores the page table of the faulted folio to avoid
duplicated stats counting.  Commit b99a342d4f11 ("NUMA balancing: reduce
TLB flush via delaying mapping on hint page fault") restructured
do_numa_page() and did not avoid task_numa_fault() call in the second page
table check after a numa migration failure.  Fix it by making all
!pte_same() return immediately.

This issue can cause task_numa_fault() being called more than necessary
and lead to unexpected numa balancing results (It is hard to tell whether
the issue will cause positive or negative performance impact due to
duplicated numa fault counting).

<title>mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL</title>

[ Upstream commit ee86814b0562f18255b55c5e6a01a022895994cf ]

Currently we always take a folio reference even if migration will not even
be tried or isolation failed, requiring us to grab+drop an additional
reference.

Further, we end up calling folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
might have already been unmapped, because after we dropped the PTL, that
can easily happen.  We want to stop touching mapcounts and friends from
such context, and only call folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
is still mapped: mapcount information is pretty much stale and unreliable
otherwise.

So let's move checks into numamigrate_isolate_folio(), rename that
function to migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare(), and call that function from
callsites where we call migrate_misplaced_folio(), but still with the PTL
held.

We can now stop taking temporary folio references, and really only take a
reference if folio isolation succeeded.  Doing the
folio_likely_mapped_shared() + folio isolation under PT lock is now
similar to how we handle MADV_PAGEOUT.

While at it, combine the folio_is_file_lru() checks.

[ Upstream commit 4b88c23ab8c9bc3857f7c8847e2c6bed95185530 ]

Patch series "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks
under PTL".

Let's just return 0 on success, which is less confusing.

...  especially because we got it wrong in the migrate.h stub where we
have "return -EAGAIN; /* can't migrate now */" instead of "return 0;".
Likely this wrong return value doesn't currently matter, but it certainly
adds confusion.

We'll add migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() next, where we want to use the
same "return 0 on success" approach, so let's just clean this up.

<title>mm: fix old/young bit handling in the faulting path</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96b74765425c52774393f76dd0cae378d8d1d24f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4cd7ba16a0afb36550eed7690e73d3e7a743fa96 upstream.

Commit 3bd786f76de2 ("mm: convert do_set_pte() to set_pte_range()")
replaced do_set_pte() with set_pte_range() and that introduced a
regression in the following faulting path of non-anonymous vmas which
caused the PTE for the faulting address to be marked as old instead of
young.

handle_pte_fault()
  do_pte_missing()
    do_fault()
      do_read_fault() || do_cow_fault() || do_shared_fault()
        finish_fault()
          set_pte_range()

The polarity of prefault calculation is incorrect.  This leads to prefault
being incorrectly set for the faulting address.  The following check will
incorrectly mark the PTE old rather than young.  On some architectures
this will cause a double fault to mark it young when the access is
retried.

    if (prefault &amp;&amp; arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte())
        entry = pte_mkold(entry);

On a subsequent fault on the same address, the faulting path will see a
non NULL vmf-&gt;pte and instead of reaching the do_pte_missing() path, PTE
will then be correctly marked young in handle_pte_fault() itself.

Due to this bug, performance degradation in the fault handling path will
be observed due to unnecessary double faulting.

<title>mm/memory: don't require head page for do_set_pmd()</title>

The requirement that the head page be passed to do_set_pmd() was added in
commit ef37b2ea08ac ("mm/memory: page_add_file_rmap() -&gt;
folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|pmd]()") and prevents pmd-mapping in the
finish_fault() and filemap_map_pages() paths if the page to be inserted is
anything but the head page for an otherwise suitable vma and pmd-sized
page.

Matthew said:

: We're going to stop using PMDs to map large folios unless the fault is
: within the first 4KiB of the PMD.  No idea how many workloads that
: affects, but it only needs to be backported as far as v6.8, so we may
: as well backport it.

The large folio is mapped with folio size(not greater PMD_SIZE) aligned
virtual address during the pagefault, ie, 'addr = ALIGN_DOWN(vmf-&gt;address,
nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE)' in do_anonymous_page().  But after the mremap(),
the virtual address only requires PAGE_SIZE alignment.  Also pte is moved
to new in move_page_tables(), then traversal of the new pte in the
numa_rebuild_large_mapping() could hit the following issue,

There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.

There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.

Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.

... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
	kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));

Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.

Let's revert it.  Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

Use '%pD' to print out the filename, and print out the actual offset
within the file too, rather than just what the virtual address of the
mapping is (which doesn't tell you anything about any mapping offsets).

Also, use the exact vma_lookup() instead of find_vma() - the latter
looks up any vma _after_ the address, which is of questionable value
(yes, maybe you fell off the beginning, but you'd be more likely to fall
off the end).
