commit 2ba99c5e08812494bc57f319fb562f527d9bacd8 upstream.

Since commit 70cbc3cc78a99 ("mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP
collapse"), the lockless_pages_from_mm() fastpath rechecks the pmd_t to
ensure that the page table was not removed by khugepaged in between.

However, lockless_pages_from_mm() still requires that the page table is
not concurrently freed.  Fix it by sending IPIs (if the architecture uses
semi-RCU-style page table freeing) before freeing/reusing page tables.

<title>hugetlbfs: flush TLBs correctly after huge_pmd_unshare</title>

commit a4a118f2eead1d6c49e00765de89878288d4b890 upstream.

When __unmap_hugepage_range() calls to huge_pmd_unshare() succeed, a TLB
flush is missing.  This TLB flush must be performed before releasing the
i_mmap_rwsem, in order to prevent an unshared PMDs page from being
released and reused before the TLB flush took place.

Arguably, a comprehensive solution would use mmu_gather interface to
batch the TLB flushes and the PMDs page release, however it is not an
easy solution: (1) try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one() also call
huge_pmd_unshare() and they cannot use the mmu_gather interface; and (2)
deferring the release of the page reference for the PMDs page until
after i_mmap_rwsem is dropeed can confuse huge_pmd_unshare() into
thinking PMDs are shared when they are not.

Fix __unmap_hugepage_range() by adding the missing TLB flush, and
forcing a flush when unshare is successful.

<title>mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problem</title>

<id>urn:sha1:99baac21e4585f4258f919502c6e23f1e5edc98c</id>
<content type='text'>
Nadav reported parallel MADV_DONTNEED on same range has a stale TLB
problem and Mel fixed it[1] and found same problem on MADV_FREE[2].

Quote from Mel Gorman:
 "The race in question is CPU 0 running madv_free and updating some PTEs
  while CPU 1 is also running madv_free and looking at the same PTEs.
  CPU 1 may have writable TLB entries for a page but fail the pte_dirty
  check (because CPU 0 has updated it already) and potentially fail to
  flush.

  Hence, when madv_free on CPU 1 returns, there are still potentially
  writable TLB entries and the underlying PTE is still present so that a
  subsequent write does not necessarily propagate the dirty bit to the
  underlying PTE any more. Reclaim at some unknown time at the future
  may then see that the PTE is still clean and discard the page even
  though a write has happened in the meantime. I think this is possible
  but I could have missed some protection in madv_free that prevents it
  happening."

This patch aims for solving both problems all at once and is ready for
other problem with KSM, MADV_FREE and soft-dirty story[3].

TLB batch API(tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu] uses [inc|dec]_tlb_flush_pending
and mmu_tlb_flush_pending so that when tlb_finish_mmu is called, we can
catch there are parallel threads going on.  In that case, forcefully,
flush TLB to prevent for user to access memory via stale TLB entry
although it fail to gather page table entry.

I confirmed this patch works with [4] test program Nadav gave so this
patch supersedes "mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range
v2" in current mmotm.

NOTE:

This patch modifies arch-specific TLB gathering interface(x86, ia64,
s390, sh, um).  It seems most of architecture are straightforward but
s390 need to be careful because tlb_flush_mmu works only if
mm-&gt;context.flush_mm is set to non-zero which happens only a pte entry
really is cleared by ptep_get_and_clear and friends.  However, this
problem never changes the pte entries but need to flush to prevent
memory access from stale tlb.

<content type='text'>
This patch is a preparatory patch for solving race problems caused by
TLB batch.  For that, we will increase/decrease TLB flush pending count
of mm_struct whenever tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu is called.

Before making it simple, this patch separates architecture specific part
and rename it to arch_tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu and generic part just
calls it.

It shouldn't change any behavior.

<title>mm, x86: add support for PUD-sized transparent hugepages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a00cc7d9dd93d66a3fb83fc52aa57a4bec51c517</id>
<content type='text'>
The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs.  This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX.  It does not include
support for anonymous pages.  x86 support code also added.

Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs.  The only major difference is how the new -&gt;pud_entry method in
mm_walk works.  The -&gt;pmd_entry method replaces the -&gt;pte_entry method,
whereas the -&gt;pud_entry method works along with either -&gt;pmd_entry or
-&gt;pte_entry.  The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling -&gt;pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

Now that we check for page size change early in the loop, we can
partially revert e9d55e157034a ("mm: change the interface for
__tlb_remove_page").

This simplies the code much, by removing the need to track the last
address with which we adjusted the range.  We also go back to the older
way of filling the mmu_gather array, ie, we add an entry and then check
whether the gather batch is full.

<id>urn:sha1:07e326610e5634e5038fce32fff370949eb42101</id>
<content type='text'>
With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu
gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to
force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop.  We
did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page
to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove.  We can improve that by moving the
page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page.

This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering
dax mapping.  Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and
hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush
on page size change.  Moving the page size change check earlier means we
will do the same even for dax mapping.

We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc.

In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

We use __tlb_adjust_range to update range convered by mmu_gather struct.
We later use the 'start' and 'end' to do a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range
in tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly().  Update the 'end' correctly in
__tlb_adjust_range so that we call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with
the correct range values.

Wrt tlbflush, this should not have any impact, because a flush with
correct start address will flush tlb mapping for the range.

Also add comment w.r.t updating the range when we free pagetable pages.
For now we don't support a range based page table cache flush.
