commit 1ca77ff1837249701053a7fcbdedabc41f4ae67c upstream.

hugetlb_sysctl_init() is only invoked once by an __init function and is
merely a wrapper around another __init function so there is not reason to
keep it.

Fixes the following warning when toning down some GCC inline options:

 WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference:
   hugetlb_sysctl_init+0x1b (section: .text) -&gt;
     __register_sysctl_init (section: .init.text)

<title>mm/hwpoison: do not send SIGBUS to processes with recovered clean pages</title>

commit aaf99ac2ceb7c974f758a635723eeaf48596388e upstream.

When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA
signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when
the data is about to be consumed.

- Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1]

Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that
detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a
broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action
Optional) signature in the machine check bank.  This was overkill because
it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that
bad data.  It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE
interrupts and finally become an IERR.

Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub
from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to
#CMCI.  Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in
uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA*
signature name.

- Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in Intel platform [1]

Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors,
the memory controller uses it for reads too.  But the memory controller is
executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference
between a "real" read and a speculative read.  So it will do CMCI/UCNA if
an error is found in any read.

Thus:

1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a speculative read.
2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read request
3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the core
   that will soon try to retire the load from address A.

Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory
controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction
reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page
(marking it as poison).

- Why user process is killed for instr case

Commit 046545a661af ("mm/hwpoison: fix error page recovered but reported
"not recovered"") tries to fix noise message "Memory error not recovered"
and skips duplicate SIGBUSs due to the race.  But it also introduced a bug
that kill_accessing_process() return -EHWPOISON for instr case, as result,
kill_me_maybe() send a SIGBUS to user process.

If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when
uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure().  For dirty pages,
memory_failure() invokes try_to_unmap() with the TTU_HWPOISON flag,
converting the PTE to a hwpoison entry.  As a result,
kill_accessing_process():

- call walk_page_range() and return 1 regardless of whether
  try_to_unmap() succeeds or fails,
- call kill_proc() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent
- return -EHWPOISON to indicate that SIGBUS is already sent to the
  process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to send it again.

However, for clean pages, the TTU_HWPOISON flag is cleared, leaving the
PTE unchanged and not converted to a hwpoison entry.  Conversely, for
clean pages where PTE entries are not marked as hwpoison,
kill_accessing_process() returns -EFAULT, causing kill_me_maybe() to send
a SIGBUS.

Console log looks like this:

    Memory failure: 0x827ca68: corrupted page was clean: dropped without side effects
    Memory failure: 0x827ca68: recovery action for clean LRU page: Recovered
    Memory failure: 0x827ca68: already hardware poisoned
    mce: Memory error not recovered

To fix it, return 0 for "corrupted page was clean", preventing an
unnecessary SIGBUS to user process.

<title>mm: add missing release barrier on PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED unlock</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c0ebbb3841e07c4493e6fe351698806b09a87a37 upstream.

The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node
reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit.

It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which
provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within
__node_reclaim().

It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering
with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit.

The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within
__node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from
a prior node reclaim.  This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g.
x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g.  arm64).

Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear
PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic.

This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).

<title>mm/mremap: correctly handle partial mremap() of VMA starting at 0</title>

commit 937582ee8e8d227c30ec147629a0179131feaa80 upstream.

Patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug", v3.

The existing mremap() logic has grown organically over a very long period
of time, resulting in code that is in many parts, very difficult to follow
and full of subtleties and sources of confusion.

In addition, it is difficult to thread state through the operation
correctly, as function arguments have expanded, some parameters are
expected to be temporarily altered during the operation, others are
intended to remain static and some can be overridden.

This series completely refactors the mremap implementation, sensibly
separating functions, adding comments to explain the more subtle aspects
of the implementation and making use of small structs to thread state
through everything.

The reason for doing so is to lay the groundwork for planned future
changes to the mremap logic, changes which require the ability to easily
pass around state.

Additionally, it would be unhelpful to add yet more logic to code that is
already difficult to follow without first refactoring it like this.

The first patch in this series additionally fixes a bug when a VMA with
start address zero is partially remapped.

Tested on real hardware under heavy workload and all self tests are
passing.


This patch (of 3):

Consider the case of a partial mremap() (that results in a VMA split) of
an accountable VMA (i.e.  which has the VM_ACCOUNT flag set) whose start
address is zero, with the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag specified and a scenario
where a move does in fact occur:

       addr  end
        |     |
        v     v
    |-------------|
    |     vma     |
    |-------------|
    0

This move is affected by unmapping the range [addr, end).  In order to
prevent an incorrect decrement of accounted memory which has already been
determined, the mremap() code in move_vma() clears VM_ACCOUNT from the VMA
prior to doing so, before reestablishing it in each of the VMAs
post-split:

    addr  end
     |     |
     v     v
 |---|     |---|
 | A |     | B |
 |---|     |---|

Commit 6b73cff239e5 ("mm: change munmap splitting order and move_vma()")
changed this logic such as to determine whether there is a need to do so
by establishing account_start and account_end and, in the instance where
such an operation is required, assigning them to vma-&gt;vm_start and
vma-&gt;vm_end.

Later the code checks if the operation is required for 'A' referenced
above thusly:

	if (account_start) {
		...
	}

However, if the VMA described above has vma-&gt;vm_start == 0, which is now
assigned to account_start, this branch will not be executed.

As a result, the VMA 'A' above will remain stripped of its VM_ACCOUNT
flag, incorrectly.

The fix is to simply convert these variables to booleans and set them as
required.

<title>mm: make page_mapped_in_vma() hugetlb walk aware</title>

commit 442b1eca223b4860cc85ef970ae602d125aec5a4 upstream.

When a process consumes a UE in a page, the memory failure handler
attempts to collect information for a potential SIGBUS.  If the page is an
anonymous page, page_mapped_in_vma(page, vma) is invoked in order to

  1. retrieve the vaddr from the process' address space,

  2. verify that the vaddr is indeed mapped to the poisoned page,
     where 'page' is the precise small page with UE.

It's been observed that when injecting poison to a non-head subpage of an
anonymous hugetlb page, no SIGBUS shows up, while injecting to the head
page produces a SIGBUS.  The cause is that, though hugetlb_walk() returns
a valid pmd entry (on x86), but check_pte() detects mismatch between the
head page per the pmd and the input subpage.  Thus the vaddr is considered
not mapped to the subpage and the process is not collected for SIGBUS
purpose.  This is the calling stack:

      collect_procs_anon
        page_mapped_in_vma
          page_vma_mapped_walk
            hugetlb_walk
              huge_pte_lock
                check_pte

check_pte() header says that it
"check if [pvmw-&gt;pfn, @pvmw-&gt;pfn + @pvmw-&gt;nr_pages) is mapped at the @pvmw-&gt;pte"
but practically works only if pvmw-&gt;pfn is the head page pfn at pvmw-&gt;pte.
Hindsight acknowledging that some pvmw-&gt;pte could point to a hugepage of
some sort such that it makes sense to make check_pte() work for hugepage.

commit bc3fe6805cf09a25a086573a17d40e525208c5d8 upstream.

Even though FOLL_SPLIT_PMD on hugetlb now always fails with -EOPNOTSUPP,
let's add a safety net in case FOLL_SPLIT_PMD usage would ever be
reworked.

In particular, before commit 9cb28da54643 ("mm/gup: handle hugetlb in the
generic follow_page_mask code"), GUP(FOLL_SPLIT_PMD) would just have
returned a page.  In particular, hugetlb folios that are not PMD-sized
would never have been prone to FOLL_SPLIT_PMD.

hugetlb folios can be anonymous, and page_make_device_exclusive_one() is
not really prepared for handling them at all.  So let's spell that out.

commit 3a06696305e757f652dd0dcf4dfa2272eda39434 upstream.

Patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling".

DAMON operations set for physical address space, namely 'paddr', treats
tail pages as unaccessed always.  It can also apply DAMOS action to a
large folio multiple times within single DAMOS' regions walking.  As a
result, the monitoring output has poor quality and DAMOS works in
unexpected ways when large folios are being used.  Fix those.

The patches were parts of Usama's hugepage_size DAMOS filter patch
series[1].  The first fix has collected from there with a slight commit
message change for the subject prefix.  The second fix is re-written by SJ
and posted as an RFC before this series.  The second one also got a slight
commit message change for the subject prefix.

This patch (of 2):

This effectively adds support for large folios in damon for paddr, as
damon_pa_mkold/young won't get a null folio from this function and won't
ignore it, hence access will be checked and reported.  This also means
that larger folios will be considered for different DAMOS actions like
pageout, prioritization and migration.  As these DAMOS actions will
consider larger folios, iterate through the region at folio_size and not
PAGE_SIZE intervals.  This should not have an affect on vaddr, as
damon_young_pmd_entry considers pmd entries.

<title>mm: zswap: fix crypto_free_acomp() deadlock in zswap_cpu_comp_dead()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a8d18000e9d2d97aaf105f5f9b3b0e8a6fbf8b96</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c11bcbc0a517acf69282c8225059b2a8ac5fe628 upstream.

Currently, zswap_cpu_comp_dead() calls crypto_free_acomp() while holding
the per-CPU acomp_ctx mutex.  crypto_free_acomp() then holds scomp_lock
(through crypto_exit_scomp_ops_async()).

On the other hand, crypto_alloc_acomp_node() holds the scomp_lock (through
crypto_scomp_init_tfm()), and then allocates memory.  If the allocation
results in reclaim, we may attempt to hold the per-CPU acomp_ctx mutex.

The above dependencies can cause an ABBA deadlock.  For example in the
following scenario:

(1) Task A running on CPU #1:
    crypto_alloc_acomp_node()
      Holds scomp_lock
      Enters reclaim
      Reads per_cpu_ptr(pool-&gt;acomp_ctx, 1)

(2) Task A is descheduled

(3) CPU #1 goes offline
    zswap_cpu_comp_dead(CPU #1)
      Holds per_cpu_ptr(pool-&gt;acomp_ctx, 1))
      Calls crypto_free_acomp()
      Waits for scomp_lock

(4) Task A running on CPU #2:
      Waits for per_cpu_ptr(pool-&gt;acomp_ctx, 1) // Read on CPU #1
      DEADLOCK

Since there is no requirement to call crypto_free_acomp() with the per-CPU
acomp_ctx mutex held in zswap_cpu_comp_dead(), move it after the mutex is
unlocked.  Also move the acomp_request_free() and kfree() calls for
consistency and to avoid any potential sublte locking dependencies in the
future.

With this, only setting acomp_ctx fields to NULL occurs with the mutex
held.  This is similar to how zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() only initializes
acomp_ctx fields with the mutex held, after performing all allocations
before holding the mutex.

Opportunistically, move the NULL check on acomp_ctx so that it takes place
before the mutex dereference.

<title>mm/gup: reject FOLL_SPLIT_PMD with hugetlb VMAs</title>

commit 8977752c8056a6a094a279004a49722da15bace3 upstream.

Patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)", v2.

Discussing the PageTail() call in make_device_exclusive_range() with
Willy, I recently discovered [1] that device-exclusive handling does not
properly work with THP, making the hmm-tests selftests fail if THPs are
enabled on the system.

Looking into more details, I found that hugetlb is not properly fenced,
and I realized that something that was bugging me for longer -- how
device-exclusive entries interact with mapcounts -- completely breaks
migration/swapout/split/hwpoison handling of these folios while they have
device-exclusive PTEs.

The program below can be used to allocate 1 GiB worth of pages and making
them device-exclusive on a kernel with CONFIG_TEST_HMM.

Once they are device-exclusive, these folios cannot get swapped out
(proc$pid/smaps_rollup will always indicate 1 GiB RSS no matter how much
one forces memory reclaim), and when having a memory block onlined to
ZONE_MOVABLE, trying to offline it will loop forever and complain about
failed migration of a page that should be movable.

# echo offline &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state
# echo online_movable &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state
# ./hmm-swap &amp;
... wait until everything is device-exclusive

This series fixes all issues I found so far.  There is no easy way to fix
without a bigger rework/cleanup.  I have a bunch of cleanups on top (some
previous sent, some the result of the discussion in v1) that I will send
out separately once this landed and I get to it.

I wish we could just use some special present PROT_NONE PTEs instead of
these (non-present, non-none) fake-swap entries; but that just results in
the same problem we keep having (lack of spare PTE bits), and staring at
other similar fake-swap entries, that ship has sailed.

With this series, make_device_exclusive() doesn't actually belong into
mm/rmap.c anymore, but I'll leave moving that for another day.

I only tested this series with the hmm-tests selftests due to lack of HW,
so I'd appreciate some testing, especially if the interaction between two
GPUs wanting a device-exclusive entry works as expected.

This patch (of 17):

We only have two FOLL_SPLIT_PMD users.  While uprobe refuses hugetlb
early, make_device_exclusive_range() can end up getting called on hugetlb
VMAs.

Right now, this means that with a PMD-sized hugetlb page, we can end up
calling split_huge_pmd(), because pmd_trans_huge() also succeeds with
hugetlb PMDs.

For example, using a modified hmm-test selftest one can trigger:

Before commit 9cb28da54643 ("mm/gup: handle hugetlb in the generic
follow_page_mask code"), we would have ignored the flag; instead, let's
simply refuse the combination completely in check_vma_flags(): the caller
is likely not prepared to handle any hugetlb folios.

We'll teach make_device_exclusive_range() separately to ignore any hugetlb
folios as a future-proof safety net.
