commit a53190a4aaa36494f4d7209fd1fcc6f2ee08e0e0 upstream.

When running syzkaller internally, we ran into the below bug on 4.9.x
kernel:

with the below test:

  uint64_t r[1] = {0xffffffffffffffff};

  int main(void)
  {
        syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000, 0x1000000, 3, 0x32, -1, 0);
                                intptr_t res = 0;
        res = syscall(__NR_socket, 0x11, 3, 0x300);
        if (res != -1)
                r[0] = res;
        *(uint32_t*)0x20000040 = 0x10000;
        *(uint32_t*)0x20000044 = 1;
        *(uint32_t*)0x20000048 = 0xc520;
        *(uint32_t*)0x2000004c = 1;
        syscall(__NR_setsockopt, r[0], 0x107, 0xd, 0x20000040, 0x10);
        syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20fed000, 0x10000, 0, 0x8811, r[0], 0);
        *(uint64_t*)0x20000340 = 2;
        syscall(__NR_mbind, 0x20ff9000, 0x4000, 0x4002, 0x20000340, 0x45d4, 3);
        return 0;
  }

Actually the test does:

  mmap(0x20000000, 16777216, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x20000000
  socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 768)        = 3
  setsockopt(3, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TX_RING, {block_size=65536, block_nr=1, frame_size=50464, frame_nr=1}, 16) = 0
  mmap(0x20fed000, 65536, PROT_NONE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED|MAP_POPULATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x20fed000
  mbind(..., MPOL_MF_STRICT|MPOL_MF_MOVE) = 0

The setsockopt() would allocate compound pages (16 pages in this test)
for packet tx ring, then the mmap() would call packet_mmap() to map the
pages into the user address space specified by the mmap() call.

When calling mbind(), it would scan the vma to queue the pages for
migration to the new node.  It would split any huge page since 4.9
doesn't support THP migration, however, the packet tx ring compound
pages are not THP and even not movable.  So, the above bug is triggered.

However, the later kernel is not hit by this issue due to commit
d44d363f6578 ("mm: don't assume anonymous pages have SwapBacked flag"),
which just removes the PageSwapBacked check for a different reason.

But, there is a deeper issue.  According to the semantic of mbind(), it
should return -EIO if MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL was specified and
MPOL_MF_STRICT was also specified, but the kernel was unable to move all
existing pages in the range.  The tx ring of the packet socket is
definitely not movable, however, mbind() returns success for this case.

Although the most socket file associates with non-movable pages, but XDP
may have movable pages from gup.  So, it sounds not fine to just check
the underlying file type of vma in vma_migratable().

Change migrate_page_add() to check if the page is movable or not, if it
is unmovable, just return -EIO.  But do not abort pte walk immediately,
since there may be pages off LRU temporarily.  We should migrate other
pages if MPOL_MF_MOVE* is specified.  Set has_unmovable flag if some
paged could not be not moved, then return -EIO for mbind() eventually.

With this change the above test would return -EIO as expected.

<title>mm: mempolicy: make the behavior consistent when MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT were specified</title>

commit d883544515aae54842c21730b880172e7894fde9 upstream.

When both MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT was specified, mbind() should
try best to migrate misplaced pages, if some of the pages could not be
migrated, then return -EIO.

There are three different sub-cases:
 1. vma is not migratable
 2. vma is migratable, but there are unmovable pages
 3. vma is migratable, pages are movable, but migrate_pages() fails

If #1 happens, kernel would just abort immediately, then return -EIO,
after a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when
MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified").

If #3 happens, kernel would set policy and migrate pages with
best-effort, but won't rollback the migrated pages and reset the policy
back.

Before that commit, they behaves in the same way.  It'd better to keep
their behavior consistent.  But, rolling back the migrated pages and
resetting the policy back sounds not feasible, so just make #1 behave as
same as #3.

Userspace will know that not everything was successfully migrated (via
-EIO), and can take whatever steps it deems necessary - attempt
rollback, determine which exact page(s) are violating the policy, etc.

Make queue_pages_range() return 1 to indicate there are unmovable pages
or vma is not migratable.

The #2 is not handled correctly in the current kernel, the following
patch will fix it.

<title>mm/mempolicy.c: fix an incorrect rebind node in mpol_rebind_nodemask</title>

<id>urn:sha1:29b190fa774dd1b72a1a6f19687d55dc72ea83be</id>
<content type='text'>
mpol_rebind_nodemask() is called for MPOL_BIND and MPOL_INTERLEAVE
mempoclicies when the tasks's cpuset's mems_allowed changes.  For
policies created without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES,
it works by remapping the policy's allowed nodes (stored in v.nodes)
using the previous value of mems_allowed (stored in
w.cpuset_mems_allowed) as the domain of map and the new mems_allowed
(passed as nodes) as the range of the map (see the comment of
bitmap_remap() for details).

The result of remapping is stored back as policy's nodemask in v.nodes,
and the new value of mems_allowed should be stored in
w.cpuset_mems_allowed to facilitate the next rebind, if it happens.

However, 213980c0f23b ("mm, mempolicy: simplify rebinding mempolicies
when updating cpusets") introduced a bug where the result of remapping
is stored in w.cpuset_mems_allowed instead.  Thus, a mempolicy's
allowed nodes can evolve in an unexpected way after a series of
rebinding due to cpuset mems_allowed changes, possibly binding to a
wrong node or a smaller number of nodes which may e.g.  overload them.
This patch fixes the bug so rebinding again works as intended.

<title>mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a7f40cfe3b7ada57af9b62fd28430eeb4a7cfcb7</id>
<content type='text'>
When MPOL_MF_STRICT was specified and an existing page was already on a
node that does not follow the policy, mbind() should return -EIO.  But
commit 6f4576e3687b ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on
queue_pages_range()") broke the rule.

And commit c8633798497c ("mm: mempolicy: mbind and migrate_pages support
thp migration") didn't return the correct value for THP mbind() too.

If MPOL_MF_STRICT is set, ignore vma_migratable() to make sure it
reaches queue_pages_to_pte_range() or queue_pages_pmd() to check if an
existing page was already on a node that does not follow the policy.
And, non-migratable vma may be used, return -EIO too if MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL was specified.

Tested with https://github.com/metan-ucw/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/mbind/mbind02.c

  __do_sys_mbind mm/mempolicy.c:1354 [inline]

As it's difficult to report where exactly the uninit value resides in
the mempolicy object, we have to guess a bit.  mm/mempolicy.c:353
contains this part of mpol_rebind_policy():

        if (!mpol_store_user_nodemask(pol) &amp;&amp;
            nodes_equal(pol-&gt;w.cpuset_mems_allowed, *newmask))

"mpol_store_user_nodemask(pol)" is testing pol-&gt;flags, which I couldn't
ever see being uninitialized after leaving mpol_new().  So I'll guess
it's actually about accessing pol-&gt;w.cpuset_mems_allowed on line 354,
but still part of statement starting on line 353.

For w.cpuset_mems_allowed to be not initialized, and the nodes_equal()
reachable for a mempolicy where mpol_set_nodemask() is called in
do_mbind(), it seems the only possibility is a MPOL_PREFERRED policy
with empty set of nodes, i.e.  MPOL_LOCAL equivalent, with MPOL_F_LOCAL
flag.  Let's exclude such policies from the nodes_equal() check.  Note
the uninit access should be benign anyway, as rebinding this kind of
policy is always a no-op.  Therefore no actual need for stable
inclusion.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.

All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code.  Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances.  This might also have replaced some
false positives.  I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.

1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"

This patch (of 2):

At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1.  Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there.  Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE.  This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

<title>numa: change get_mempolicy() to use nr_node_ids instead of MAX_NUMNODES</title>

The system call, get_mempolicy() [1], passes an unsigned long *nodemask
pointer and an unsigned long maxnode argument which specifies the length
of the user's nodemask array in bits (which is rounded up).  The manual
page says that if the maxnode value is too small, get_mempolicy will
return EINVAL but there is no system call to return this minimum value.
To determine this value, some programs search /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/status for a
line starting with "Mems_allowed:" and use the number of digits in the
mask to determine the minimum value.  A recent change to the way this line
is formatted [2] causes these programs to compute a value less than
MAX_NUMNODES so get_mempolicy() returns EINVAL.

Change get_mempolicy(), the older compat version of get_mempolicy(), and
the copy_nodes_to_user() function to use nr_node_ids instead of
MAX_NUMNODES, thus preserving the defacto method of computing the minimum
size for the nodemask array and the maxnode argument.

<title>Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:356ff8a9a78fb35d6482584d260c3754dcbdf669</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 89c83fb539f95491be80cdd5158e6f0ce329e317.

This should have been done as part of 2f0799a0ffc0 ("mm, thp: restore
node-local hugepage allocations").  The movement of the thp allocation
policy from alloc_pages_vma() to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() was
intended to only set __GFP_THISNODE for mempolicies that are not
MPOL_BIND whereas the revert could set this regardless of mempolicy.

While the check for MPOL_BIND between alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask()
and alloc_pages_vma() was racy, that has since been removed since the
revert.  What is left is the possibility to use __GFP_THISNODE in
policy_node() when it is unexpected because the special handling for
hugepages in alloc_pages_vma()  was removed as part of the consolidation.

Secondly, prior to 89c83fb539f9, alloc_pages_vma() implemented a somewhat
different policy for hugepage allocations, which were allocated through
alloc_hugepage_vma().  For hugepage allocations, if the allocating
process's node is in the set of allowed nodes, allocate with
__GFP_THISNODE for that node (for MPOL_PREFERRED, use that node with
__GFP_THISNODE instead).  This was changed for shmem_alloc_hugepage() to
allow fallback to other nodes in 89c83fb539f9 as it did for new_page() in
mm/mempolicy.c which is functionally different behavior and removes the
requirement to only allocate hugepages locally.

So this commit does a full revert of 89c83fb539f9 instead of the partial
revert that was done in 2f0799a0ffc0.  The result is the same thp
allocation policy for 4.20 that was in 4.19.

Fixes: 89c83fb539f9 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask")
Fixes: 2f0799a0ffc0 ("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations")

This is a full revert of ac5b2c18911f ("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for
MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") and a partial revert of 89c83fb539f9 ("mm, thp:
consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask").

By not setting __GFP_THISNODE, applications can allocate remote hugepages
when the local node is fragmented or low on memory when either the thp
defrag setting is "always" or the vma has been madvised with
MADV_HUGEPAGE.

Remote access to hugepages often has much higher latency than local pages
of the native page size.  On Haswell, ac5b2c18911f was shown to have a
13.9% access regression after this commit for binaries that remap their
text segment to be backed by transparent hugepages.

The intent of ac5b2c18911f is to address an issue where a local node is
low on memory or fragmented such that a hugepage cannot be allocated.  In
every scenario where this was described as a fix, there is abundant and
unfragmented remote memory available to allocate from, even with a greater
access latency.

If remote memory is also low or fragmented, not setting __GFP_THISNODE was
also measured on Haswell to have a 40% regression in allocation latency.

Restore __GFP_THISNODE for thp allocations.

Fixes: 89c83fb539f9 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask")
