[ Upstream commit df9576def004d2cd5beedc00cb6e8901427634b9 ]

When running ltp's oom test with kmemleak enabled, the below warning was
triggerred since kernel detects __GFP_NOFAIL &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is
passed in:

  WARNING: CPU: 105 PID: 2138 at mm/page_alloc.c:4608 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1c31/0x1d50

The mempool_alloc_slab() clears __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, however kmemleak
has __GFP_NOFAIL set all the time due to d9570ee3bd1d4f2 ("kmemleak:
allow to coexist with fault injection").  But, it doesn't make any sense
to have __GFP_NOFAIL and ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM specified at the same
time.

According to the discussion on the mailing list, the commit should be
reverted for short term solution.  Catalin Marinas would follow up with
a better solution for longer term.

The failure rate of kmemleak metadata allocation may increase in some
circumstances, but this should be expected side effect.

We should not have two different error codes for the same
condition. EAGAIN must be reserved for the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY retry
case and signals to the caller that the mmap_sem has been unlocked.

Use EBUSY for the !valid case so that callers can get the locking right.

commit 28360f398778d7623a5ff8a8e90958c0d925e120 upstream.

Dave Chinner reported a problem pointing a finger at commit 1c30844d2dfe
("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").

The report is extensive:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190807091858.2857-1-david@fromorbit.com/

and it's worth recording the most relevant parts (colorful language and
typos included).

	When running a simple, steady state 4kB file creation test to
	simulate extracting tarballs larger than memory full of small
	files into the filesystem, I noticed that once memory fills up
	the cache balance goes to hell.

	The workload is creating one dirty cached inode for every dirty
	page, both of which should require a single IO each to clean and
	reclaim, and creation of inodes is throttled by the rate at which
	dirty writeback runs at (via balance dirty pages). Hence the ingest
	rate of new cached inodes and page cache pages is identical and
	steady. As a result, memory reclaim should quickly find a steady
	balance between page cache and inode caches.

	The moment memory fills, the page cache is reclaimed at a much
	faster rate than the inode cache, and evidence suggests that
	the inode cache shrinker is not being called when large batches
	of pages are being reclaimed. In roughly the same time period
	that it takes to fill memory with 50% pages and 50% slab caches,
	memory reclaim reduces the page cache down to just dirty pages
	and slab caches fill the entirety of memory.

	The LRU is largely full of dirty pages, and we're getting spikes
	of random writeback from memory reclaim so it's all going to shit.
	Behaviour never recovers, the page cache remains pinned at just
	dirty pages, and nothing I could tune would make any difference.
	vfs_cache_pressure makes no difference - I would set it so high
	it should trim the entire inode caches in a single pass, yet it
	didn't do anything. It was clear from tracing and live telemetry
	that the shrinkers were pretty much not running except when
	there was absolutely no memory free at all, and then they did
	the minimum necessary to free memory to make progress.

	So I went looking at the code, trying to find places where pages
	got reclaimed and the shrinkers weren't called. There's only one
	- kswapd doing boosted reclaim as per commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm:
	reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
	event occurs").

The watermark boosting introduced by the commit is triggered in response
to an allocation "fragmentation event".  The boosting was not intended
to target THP specifically and triggers even if THP is disabled.
However, with Dave's perfectly reasonable workload, fragmentation events
can be very common given the ratio of slab to page cache allocations so
boosting remains active for long periods of time.

As high-order allocations might use compaction and compaction cannot
move slab pages the decision was made in the commit to special-case
kswapd when watermarks are boosted -- kswapd avoids reclaiming slab as
reclaiming slab does not directly help compaction.

As Dave notes, this decision means that slab can be artificially
protected for long periods of time and messes up the balance with slab
and page caches.

Removing the special casing can still indirectly help avoid
fragmentation by avoiding fragmentation-causing events due to slab
allocation as pages from a slab pageblock will have some slab objects
freed.  Furthermore, with the special casing, reclaim behaviour is
unpredictable as kswapd sometimes examines slab and sometimes does not
in a manner that is tricky to tune or analyse.

This patch removes the special casing.  The downside is that this is not
a universal performance win.  Some benchmarks that depend on the
residency of data when rereading metadata may see a regression when slab
reclaim is restored to its original behaviour.  Similarly, some
benchmarks that only read-once or write-once may perform better when
page reclaim is too aggressive.  The primary upside is that slab
shrinker is less surprising (arguably more sane but that's a matter of
opinion), behaves consistently regardless of the fragmentation state of
the system and properly obeys VM sysctls.

A fsmark benchmark configuration was constructed similar to what Dave
reported and is codified by the mmtest configuration
config-io-fsmark-small-file-stream.  It was evaluated on a 1-socket
machine to avoid dealing with NUMA-related issues and the timing of
reclaim.  The storage was an SSD Samsung Evo and a fresh trimmed XFS
filesystem was used for the test data.

This is not an exact replication of Dave's setup.  The configuration
scales its parameters depending on the memory size of the SUT to behave
similarly across machines.  The parameters mean the first sample
reported by fs_mark is using 50% of RAM which will barely be throttled
and look like a big outlier.  Dave used fake NUMA to have multiple
kswapd instances which I didn't replicate.  Finally, the number of
iterations differ from Dave's test as the target disk was not large
enough.  While not identical, it should be representative.

This is showing a slight skew for the max result representing a large
outlier for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile are similar indicating that
the bulk of the results show little difference.  Note that an earlier
version of the fsmark configuration showed a regression but that
included more samples taken while memory was still filling.

Note that the elapsed time is higher.  Part of this is that the
configuration included time to delete all the test files when the test
completes -- the test automation handles the possibility of testing
fsmark with multiple thread counts.  Without the patch, many of these
objects would be memory resident which is part of what the patch is
addressing.

There are other important observations that justify the patch.

1. With the vanilla kernel, the number of dirty pages in the system is
   very low for much of the test. With this patch, dirty pages is
   generally kept at 10% which matches vm.dirty_background_ratio which
   is normal expected historical behaviour.

2. With the vanilla kernel, the ratio of Slab/Pagecache is close to
   0.95 for much of the test i.e. Slab is being left alone and
   dominating memory consumption. With the patch applied, the ratio
   varies between 0.35 and 0.45 with the bulk of the measured ratios
   roughly half way between those values. This is a different balance to
   what Dave reported but it was at least consistent.

3. Slabs are scanned throughout the entire test with the patch applied.
   The vanille kernel has periods with no scan activity and then
   relatively massive spikes.

4. Without the patch, kswapd scan rates are very variable. With the
   patch, the scan rates remain quite steady.

4. Overall vmstats are closer to normal expectations

	o Vanilla kernel is hitting direct reclaim more frequently,
	  not very much in absolute terms but the fact the patch
	  reduces it is interesting
	o "Page reclaim immediate" in the vanilla kernel indicates
	  dirty pages are being encountered at the tail of the LRU.
	  This is generally bad and means in this case that the LRU
	  is not long enough for dirty pages to be cleaned by the
	  background flush in time. This is much reduced by the
	  patch.
	o With the patch, kswapd is reclaiming 10 times more slab
	  pages than with the vanilla kernel. This is indicative
	  of the watermark boosting over-protecting slab

A more complete set of tests were run that were part of the basis for
introducing boosting and while there are some differences, they are well
within tolerances.

Bottom line, the special casing kswapd to avoid slab behaviour is
unpredictable and can lead to abnormal results for normal workloads.

This patch restores the expected behaviour that slab and page cache is
balanced consistently for a workload with a steady allocation ratio of
slab/pagecache pages.  It also means that if there are workloads that
favour the preservation of slab over pagecache that it can be tuned via
vm.vfs_cache_pressure where as the vanilla kernel effectively ignores
the parameter when boosting is active.

commit 951531691c4bcaa59f56a316e018bc2ff1ddf855 upstream.

Currently, when checking to see if accessing n bytes starting at address
"ptr" will cause a wraparound in the memory addresses, the check in
check_bogus_address() adds an extra byte, which is incorrect, as the
range of addresses that will be accessed is [ptr, ptr + (n - 1)].

This can lead to incorrectly detecting a wraparound in the memory
address, when trying to read 4 KB from memory that is mapped to the the
last possible page in the virtual address space, when in fact, accessing
that range of memory would not cause a wraparound to occur.

Use the memory range that will actually be accessed when considering if
accessing a certain amount of bytes will cause the memory address to
wrap around.

commit 54a83d6bcbf8f4700013766b974bf9190d40b689 upstream.

This patch is sent to report an use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()
after merging commit be2657752e9e ("mm: memcg: fix use after free in
mem_cgroup_iter()").

I work with android kernel tree (4.9 &amp; 4.14), and commit be2657752e9e
("mm: memcg: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()") has been merged
to the trees.  However, I can still observe use after free issues
addressed in the commit be2657752e9e.  (on low-end devices, a few times
this month)

backtrace:
        css_tryget &lt;- crash here

To debug, I poisoned mem_cgroup before freeing it:

  static void __mem_cgroup_free(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)
        for_each_node(node)
        free_mem_cgroup_per_node_info(memcg, node);
        free_percpu(memcg-&gt;stat);
  +     /* poison memcg before freeing it */
  +     memset(memcg, 0x78, sizeof(struct mem_cgroup));
        kfree(memcg);
  }

The coredump shows the position=0xdbbc2a00 is freed.

  (gdb) p/x ((struct mem_cgroup_per_node *)0xe5009e00)-&gt;iter[8]
  $13 = {position = 0xdbbc2a00, generation = 0x2efd}

In the reclaim path, try_to_free_pages() does not setup
sc.target_mem_cgroup and sc is passed to do_try_to_free_pages(), ...,
shrink_node().

In mem_cgroup_iter(), root is set to root_mem_cgroup because
sc-&gt;target_mem_cgroup is NULL.  It is possible to assign a memcg to
root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter in mem_cgroup_iter().

        try_to_free_pages
        	struct scan_control sc = {...}, target_mem_cgroup is 0x0;
        do_try_to_free_pages
        shrink_zones
        shrink_node
        	 mem_cgroup *root = sc-&gt;target_mem_cgroup;
        	 memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(root, NULL, &amp;reclaim);
        mem_cgroup_iter()
        	if (!root)
        		root = root_mem_cgroup;
        	...

        	css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &amp;root-&gt;css);
        	memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
        	cmpxchg(&amp;iter-&gt;position, pos, memcg);

My device uses memcg non-hierarchical mode.  When we release a memcg:
invalidate_reclaim_iterators() reaches only dead_memcg and its parents.
If non-hierarchical mode is used, invalidate_reclaim_iterators() never
reaches root_mem_cgroup.

  static void invalidate_reclaim_iterators(struct mem_cgroup *dead_memcg)
  {
        struct mem_cgroup *memcg = dead_memcg;

        for (; memcg; memcg = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg)
        ...
  }

So the use after free scenario looks like:

  CPU1						CPU2

  try_to_free_pages
  do_try_to_free_pages
  shrink_zones
  shrink_node
  mem_cgroup_iter()
      if (!root)
      	root = root_mem_cgroup;
      ...
      css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &amp;root-&gt;css);
      memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
      cmpxchg(&amp;iter-&gt;position, pos, memcg);

        				invalidate_reclaim_iterators(memcg);
        				...
        				__mem_cgroup_free()
        					kfree(memcg);

  try_to_free_pages
  do_try_to_free_pages
  shrink_zones
  shrink_node
  mem_cgroup_iter()
      if (!root)
      	root = root_mem_cgroup;
      ...
      mz = mem_cgroup_nodeinfo(root, reclaim-&gt;pgdat-&gt;node_id);
      iter = &amp;mz-&gt;iter[reclaim-&gt;priority];
      pos = READ_ONCE(iter-&gt;position);
      css_tryget(&amp;pos-&gt;css) &lt;- use after free

To avoid this, we should also invalidate root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter
in invalidate_reclaim_iterators().

commit b997052bc3ac444a0bceab1093aff7ae71ed419e upstream.

The constraint from the zpool use of z3fold_destroy_pool() is there are
no outstanding handles to memory (so no active allocations), but it is
possible for there to be outstanding work on either of the two wqs in
the pool.

Calling z3fold_deregister_migration() before the workqueues are drained
means that there can be allocated pages referencing a freed inode,
causing any thread in compaction to be able to trip over the bad pointer
in PageMovable().

commit 6051d3bd3b91e96c59e62b8be2dba1cc2b19ee40 upstream.

The constraint from the zpool use of z3fold_destroy_pool() is there are
no outstanding handles to memory (so no active allocations), but it is
possible for there to be outstanding work on either of the two wqs in
the pool.

If there is work queued on pool-&gt;compact_workqueue when it is called,
z3fold_destroy_pool() will do:

   z3fold_destroy_pool()
     destroy_workqueue(pool-&gt;release_wq)
     destroy_workqueue(pool-&gt;compact_wq)
       drain_workqueue(pool-&gt;compact_wq)
         do_compact_page(zhdr)
           kref_put(&amp;zhdr-&gt;refcount)
             __release_z3fold_page(zhdr, ...)
               queue_work_on(pool-&gt;release_wq, &amp;pool-&gt;work) *BOOM*

So compact_wq needs to be destroyed before release_wq.

commit a53190a4aaa36494f4d7209fd1fcc6f2ee08e0e0 upstream.

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

   RSP &lt;ffff88006899f980&gt;

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.

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.

commit 1de13ee59225dfc98d483f8cce7d83f97c0b31de upstream.

When migrating an anonymous private page to a ZONE_DEVICE private page,
the source page-&gt;mapping and page-&gt;index fields are copied to the
destination ZONE_DEVICE struct page and the page_mapcount() is
increased.  This is so rmap_walk() can be used to unmap and migrate the
page back to system memory.

However, try_to_unmap_one() computes the subpage pointer from a swap pte
which computes an invalid page pointer and a kernel panic results such
as:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffea1fffffffc8

Currently, only single pages can be migrated to device private memory so
no subpage computation is needed and it can be set to "page".
