commit 7c25a0b89a487878b0691e6524fb5a8827322194 upstream.

userfaultfd calls mcopy_atomic_pte() and __mcopy_atomic() which do not
do any cache flushing for the target page.  Then the target page will be
mapped to the user space with a different address (user address), which
might have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data
from the user to.  Fix this by insert flush_dcache_page() after
copy_from_user() succeeds.

commit 552546366a30d88bd1d6f5efe848b2ab50fd57e5 upstream.

A new clang diagnostic (-Wsizeof-array-div) warns about the calculation
to determine the number of u32's in an array of unsigned longs.
Suppress warning by adding parentheses.

While looking at the above issue, noticed that the 'address' parameter
to hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash is no longer used.  So, remove it from the
definition and all callers.

No functional change.

<title>hugetlb: use same fault hash key for shared and private mappings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c20f6d01ea9694b94770185e937cdf16c8b14e6f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1b426bac66e6cc83c9f2d92b96e4e72acf43419a upstream.

hugetlb uses a fault mutex hash table to prevent page faults of the
same pages concurrently.  The key for shared and private mappings is
different.  Shared keys off address_space and file index.  Private keys
off mm and virtual address.  Consider a private mappings of a populated
hugetlbfs file.  A fault will map the page from the file and if needed
do a COW to map a writable page.

Hugetlbfs hole punch uses the fault mutex to prevent mappings of file
pages.  It uses the address_space file index key.  However, private
mappings will use a different key and could race with this code to map
the file page.  This causes problems (BUG) for the page cache remove
code as it expects the page to be unmapped.  A sample stack is:

page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapped(page))
kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:169!
...
RIP: 0010:unaccount_page_cache_page+0x1b8/0x200

There seems to be another potential COW issue/race with this approach
of different private and shared keys as noted in commit 8382d914ebf7
("mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalability").

Since every hugetlb mapping (even anon and private) is actually a file
mapping, just use the address_space index key for all mappings.  This
results in potentially more hash collisions.  However, this should not
be the common case.

commit 29ec90660d68bbdd69507c1c8b4e33aa299278b1 upstream.

After the VMA to register the uffd onto is found, check that it has
VM_MAYWRITE set before allowing registration.  This way we inherit all
common code checks before allowing to fill file holes in shmem and
hugetlbfs with UFFDIO_COPY.

The userfaultfd memory model is not applicable for readonly files unless
it's a MAP_PRIVATE.

commit e2a50c1f64145a04959df2442305d57307e5395a upstream.

With MAP_SHARED: recheck the i_size after taking the PT lock, to
serialize against truncate with the PT lock.  Delete the page from the
pagecache if the i_size_read check fails.

With MAP_PRIVATE: check the i_size after the PT lock before mapping
anonymous memory or zeropages into the MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping.

A mostly irrelevant cleanup: like we do the delete_from_page_cache()
pagecache removal after dropping the PT lock, the PT lock is a spinlock
so drop it before the sleepable page lock.

<content type='text'>
commit 5b51072e97d587186c2f5390c8c9c1fb7e179505 upstream.

Userfaultfd did not create private memory when UFFDIO_COPY was invoked
on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping.  Instead it wrote to the shmem file,
even when that had not been opened for writing.  Though, fortunately,
that could only happen where there was a hole in the file.

Fix the shmem-backed implementation of UFFDIO_COPY to create private
memory for MAP_PRIVATE mappings.  The hugetlbfs-backed implementation
was already correct.

This change is visible to userland, if userfaultfd has been used in
unintended ways: so it introduces a small risk of incompatibility, but
is necessary in order to respect file permissions.

An app that uses UFFDIO_COPY for anything like postcopy live migration
won't notice the difference, and in fact it'll run faster because there
will be no copy-on-write and memory waste in the tmpfs pagecache
anymore.

Userfaults on MAP_PRIVATE shmem keep triggering only on file holes like
before.

The real zeropage can also be built on a MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping
through UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE and that's safe because the zeropage pte is
never dirty, in turn even an mprotect upgrading the vma permission from
PROT_READ to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE won't make the zeropage pte writable.

<content type='text'>
commit 9e368259ad988356c4c95150fafd1a06af095d98 upstream.

Patch series "userfaultfd shmem updates".

Jann found two bugs in the userfaultfd shmem MAP_SHARED backend: the
lack of the VM_MAYWRITE check and the lack of i_size checks.

Then looking into the above we also fixed the MAP_PRIVATE case.

Hugh by source review also found a data loss source if UFFDIO_COPY is
used on shmem MAP_SHARED PROT_READ mappings (the production usages
incidentally run with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, so the data loss couldn't
happen in those production usages like with QEMU).

The whole patchset is marked for stable.

We verified QEMU postcopy live migration with guest running on shmem
MAP_PRIVATE run as well as before after the fix of shmem MAP_PRIVATE.
Regardless if it's shmem or hugetlbfs or MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED, QEMU
unconditionally invokes a punch hole if the guest mapping is filebacked
and a MADV_DONTNEED too (needed to get rid of the MAP_PRIVATE COWs and
for the anon backend).

This patch (of 5):

We internally used EFAULT to communicate with the caller, switch to
ENOENT, so EFAULT can be used as a non internal retval.
