commit 60e2793d440a3ec95abb5d6d4fc034a4b480472d upstream.

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory.  This can happen for 2
different reasons.  a) Memcg is out of memory and we rely on
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize to perform the memcg OOM handling or b)
normal allocation fails.

The latter is quite problematic because allocation paths already trigger
out_of_memory and the page allocator tries really hard to not fail
allocations.  Anyway, if the OOM killer has been already invoked there
is no reason to invoke it again from the #PF path.  Especially when the
OOM condition might be gone by that time and we have no way to find out
other than allocate.

Moreover if the allocation failed and the OOM killer hasn't been invoked
then we are unlikely to do the right thing from the #PF context because
we have already lost the allocation context and restictions and
therefore might oom kill a task from a different NUMA domain.

This all suggests that there is no legitimate reason to trigger
out_of_memory from pagefault_out_of_memory so drop it.  Just to be sure
that no #PF path returns with VM_FAULT_OOM without allocation print a
warning that this is happening before we restart the #PF.

[VvS: #PF allocation can hit into limit of cgroup v1 kmem controller.
This is a local problem related to memcg, however, it causes unnecessary
global OOM kills that are repeated over and over again and escalate into a
real disaster.  This has been broken since kmem accounting has been
introduced for cgroup v1 (3.8).  There was no kmem specific reclaim for
the separate limit so the only way to handle kmem hard limit was to return
with ENOMEM.  In upstream the problem will be fixed by removing the
outdated kmem limit, however stable and LTS kernels cannot do it and are
still affected.  This patch fixes the problem and should be backported
into stable/LTS.]

commit 0b28179a6138a5edd9d82ad2687c05b3773c387b upstream.

Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3.

Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard
limit.  It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside
a memcg-limited container.  On the other hand if memcg fails allocation,
called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside
pagefault_out_of_memory().

To prevent these problems this patchset:
 (a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from
     pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is
     necessary.
 (b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks.

This patch (of 3):

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes
out_out_memory() and can kill a random task.

An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and
there are no memory reserves left.  The OOM killer is already handled at
the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level
for the memcg one.  Both have much more information about the scope of
allocation/charge request.  This means that either the OOM killer has
been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it
has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked.  In both cases
triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful.

It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake
up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim
for breakfast.

commit fe6bdfc8e1e131720abbe77a2eb990c94c9024cb upstream.

Commit e27be240df53 ("mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate
when waking pollers") converted most of memcg event counters to
per-memcg atomics, which made them less confusing for a user.  The
"oom_kill" counter remained untouched, so now it behaves differently
than other counters (including "oom").  This adds nothing but confusion.

Let's fix this by adding the MEMCG_OOM_KILL event, and follow the
MEMCG_OOM approach.

This also removes a hack from count_memcg_event_mm(), introduced earlier
specially for the OOM_KILL counter.

<title>mm, oom_adj: don't loop through tasks in __set_oom_adj when not necessary</title>

[ Upstream commit 67197a4f28d28d0b073ab0427b03cb2ee5382578 ]

Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm.  This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.

Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important.  Such operation can happen frequently.  We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression.  Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us.  Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.

Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with
(CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK).  Change __set_oom_adj to use
MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj
update should be synchronized between multiple processes.  To prevent
races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the
process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use
oom_adj_mutex.  Its scope is changed to global.

The combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork().  To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified.  Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare.  Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.

With the combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

<title>memcg, oom: don't require __GFP_FS when invoking memcg OOM killer</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7bd49f06fd45a1660ea94fce8be7397b0fa4c1fb</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f9c645621a28e37813a1de96d9cbd89cde94a1e4 upstream.

Masoud Sharbiani noticed that commit 29ef680ae7c21110 ("memcg, oom: move
out_of_memory back to the charge path") broke memcg OOM called from
__xfs_filemap_fault() path.  It turned out that try_charge() is retrying
forever without making forward progress because mem_cgroup_oom(GFP_NOFS)
cannot invoke the OOM killer due to commit 3da88fb3bacfaa33 ("mm, oom:
move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory").

Allowing forced charge due to being unable to invoke memcg OOM killer will
lead to global OOM situation.  Also, just returning -ENOMEM will be risky
because OOM path is lost and some paths (e.g.  get_user_pages()) will leak
-ENOMEM.  Therefore, invoking memcg OOM killer (despite GFP_NOFS) will be
the only choice we can choose for now.

Until 29ef680ae7c21110, we were able to invoke memcg OOM killer when
GFP_KERNEL reclaim failed [1].  But since 29ef680ae7c21110, we need to
invoke memcg OOM killer when GFP_NOFS reclaim failed [2].  Although in the
past we did invoke memcg OOM killer for GFP_NOFS [3], we might get
pre-mature memcg OOM reports due to this patch.

commit cefc7ef3c87d02fc9307835868ff721ea12cc597 upstream.

Syzbot instance running on upstream kernel found a use-after-free bug in
oom_kill_process.  On further inspection it seems like the process
selected to be oom-killed has exited even before reaching
read_lock(&amp;tasklist_lock) in oom_kill_process().  More specifically the
tsk-&gt;usage is 1 which is due to get_task_struct() in oom_evaluate_task()
and the put_task_struct within for_each_thread() frees the tsk and
for_each_thread() tries to access the tsk.  The easiest fix is to do
get/put across the for_each_thread() on the selected task.

Now the next question is should we continue with the oom-kill as the
previously selected task has exited? However before adding more
complexity and heuristics, let's answer why we even look at the children
of oom-kill selected task? The select_bad_process() has already selected
the worst process in the system/memcg.  Due to race, the selected
process might not be the worst at the kill time but does that matter?
The userspace can use the oom_score_adj interface to prefer children to
be killed before the parent.  I looked at the history but it seems like
this is there before git history.

commit 9bcdeb51bd7d2ae9fe65ea4d60643d2aeef5bfe3 upstream.

Arkadiusz reported that enabling memcg's group oom killing causes
strange memcg statistics where there is no task in a memcg despite the
number of tasks in that memcg is not 0.  It turned out that there is a
bug in wake_oom_reaper() which allows enqueuing same task twice which
makes impossible to decrease the number of tasks in that memcg due to a
refcount leak.

This bug existed since the OOM reaper became invokable from
task_will_free_mem(current) path in out_of_memory() in Linux 4.7,

                                   # Completed processing an OOM victim in a different memcg domain.
                                   spin_lock(&amp;oom_reaper_lock)
                                   # T1P1 is dequeued.
                                   spin_unlock(&amp;oom_reaper_lock)

but memcg's group oom killing made it easier to trigger this bug by
calling wake_oom_reaper() on the same task from one out_of_memory()
request.

Fix this bug using an approach used by commit 855b018325737f76 ("oom,
oom_reaper: disable oom_reaper for oom_kill_allocating_task").  As a
side effect of this patch, this patch also avoids enqueuing multiple
threads sharing memory via task_will_free_mem(current) path.

<title>mm, oom: fix concurrent munlock and oom reaper unmap, v3</title>

commit 27ae357fa82be5ab73b2ef8d39dcb8ca2563483a upstream.

Since exit_mmap() is done without the protection of mm-&gt;mmap_sem, it is
possible for the oom reaper to concurrently operate on an mm until
MMF_OOM_SKIP is set.

This allows munlock_vma_pages_all() to concurrently run while the oom
reaper is operating on a vma.  Since munlock_vma_pages_range() depends
on clearing VM_LOCKED from vm_flags before actually doing the munlock to
determine if any other vmas are locking the same memory, the check for
VM_LOCKED in the oom reaper is racy.

This is especially noticeable on architectures such as powerpc where
clearing a huge pmd requires serialize_against_pte_lookup().  If the pmd
is zapped by the oom reaper during follow_page_mask() after the check
for pmd_none() is bypassed, this ends up deferencing a NULL ptl or a
kernel oops.

Fix this by manually freeing all possible memory from the mm before
doing the munlock and then setting MMF_OOM_SKIP.  The oom reaper can not
run on the mm anymore so the munlock is safe to do in exit_mmap().  It
also matches the logic that the oom reaper currently uses for
determining when to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, so there's no new risk of
excessive oom killing.

This issue fixes CVE-2018-1000200.

commit 4837fe37adff1d159904f0c013471b1ecbcb455e upstream.

David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the
oom reaper tries to unmap the victims address space

  BUG: Bad page map in process oom_reaper  pte:6353826300000000 pmd:00000000
  addr:00007f50cab1d000 vm_flags:08100073 anon_vma:ffff9eea335603f0 mapping:          (null) index:7f50cab1d
  file:          (null) fault:          (null) mmap:          (null) readpage:          (null)

  Call Trace:
     unmap_page_range+0x1068/0x1130
     __oom_reap_task_mm+0xd5/0x16b
     oom_reaper+0xff/0x14c
     kthread+0xc1/0xe0

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient.  We only synchronize with the oom reaper if
tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from
a different context than the oom victim exit path.  This can trivially
happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g.  to
read /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/ file which requires mm etc.).

The race would look like this

  oom_reaper		oom_victim		task
						mmget_not_zero
			do_exit
			  mmput
  __oom_reap_task_mm				mmput
  						  __mmput
						    exit_mmap
						      remove_vma
    unmap_page_range

Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which
operates on the mm struct rather than a task.  Any context which
operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of
tsk_is_oom_victim.  The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared
so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.

<title>mm, oom_reaper: gather each vma to prevent leaking TLB entry</title>

<id>urn:sha1:786b924d39bad16ff99aacdb4076df027cc2f8b8</id>

commit 687cb0884a714ff484d038e9190edc874edcf146 upstream.

tlb_gather_mmu(&amp;tlb, mm, 0, -1) means gathering the whole virtual memory
space.  In this case, tlb-&gt;fullmm is true.  Some archs like arm64
doesn't flush TLB when tlb-&gt;fullmm is true:

  commit 5a7862e83000 ("arm64: tlbflush: avoid flushing when fullmm == 1").

Which causes leaking of tlb entries.

Will clarifies his patch:
 "Basically, we tag each address space with an ASID (PCID on x86) which
  is resident in the TLB. This means we can elide TLB invalidation when
  pulling down a full mm because we won't ever assign that ASID to
  another mm without doing TLB invalidation elsewhere (which actually
  just nukes the whole TLB).

  I think that means that we could potentially not fault on a kernel
  uaccess, because we could hit in the TLB"

There could be a window between complete_signal() sending IPI to other
cores and all threads sharing this mm are really kicked off from cores.
In this window, the oom reaper may calls tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() to
flush TLB then frees pages.  However, due to the above problem, the TLB
entries are not really flushed on arm64.  Other threads are possible to
access these pages through TLB entries.  Moreover, a copy_to_user() can
also write to these pages without generating page fault, causes
use-after-free bugs.

This patch gathers each vma instead of gathering full vm space.  In this
case tlb-&gt;fullmm is not true.  The behavior of oom reaper become similar
to munmapping before do_exit, which should be safe for all archs.
