mm: hwpoison: coredump: support recovery from dump_user_range()

2023-05-03T00:21:50+00:00

dump_user_range() is used to copy the user page to a coredump file, but if a hardware memory error occurred during copy, which called from __kernel_write_iter() in dump_user_range(), it crashes, CPU: 112 PID: 7014 Comm: mca-recover Not tainted 6.3.0-rc2 #425 pc : __memcpy+0x110/0x260 lr : _copy_from_iter+0x3bc/0x4c8 ... Call trace: __memcpy+0x110/0x260 copy_page_from_iter+0xcc/0x130 pipe_write+0x164/0x6d8 __kernel_write_iter+0x9c/0x210 dump_user_range+0xc8/0x1d8 elf_core_dump+0x308/0x368 do_coredump+0x2e8/0xa40 get_signal+0x59c/0x788 do_signal+0x118/0x1f8 do_notify_resume+0xf0/0x280 el0_da+0x130/0x138 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x68/0xc0 el0t_64_sync+0x188/0x190 Generally, the '->write_iter' of file ops will use copy_page_from_iter() and copy_page_from_iter_atomic(), change memcpy() to copy_mc_to_kernel() in both of them to handle #MC during source read, which stop coredump processing and kill the task instead of kernel panic, but the source address may not always a user address, so introduce a new copy_mc flag in struct iov_iter{} to indicate that the iter could do a safe memory copy, also introduce the helpers to set/cleck the flag, for now, it's only used in coredump's dump_user_range(), but it could expand to any other scenarios to fix the similar issue.

iov_iter: add copy_page_to_iter_nofault()

2023-04-06T02:42:57+00:00

Provide a means to copy a page to user space from an iterator, aborting if a page fault would occur. This supports compound pages, but may be passed a tail page with an offset extending further into the compound page, so we cannot pass a folio. This allows for this function to be called from atomic context and _try_ to user pages if they are faulted in, aborting if not. The function does not use _copy_to_iter() in order to not specify might_fault(), this is similar to copy_page_from_iter_atomic(). This is being added in order that an iteratable form of vread() can be implemented while holding spinlocks.

iov_iter: overlay struct iovec and ubuf/len

2023-03-30T14:12:29+00:00

Add an internal struct iovec that we can return as a pointer, with the fields of the iovec overlapping with the ITER_UBUF ubuf and length fields. Then we can have iter_iov() check for the appropriate type, and return &iter->__ubuf_iovec for ITER_UBUF and iter->__iov for ITER_IOVEC and things will magically work out for a single segment request regardless of either type.

iov_iter: set nr_segs = 1 for ITER_UBUF

2023-03-30T14:12:29+00:00

To avoid needing to check if a given user backed iov_iter is of type ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF, set the number of segments for the ITER_UBUF case to 1 as we're carrying a single segment. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

iov_iter: add iter_iov_addr() and iter_iov_len() helpers

2023-03-30T14:12:29+00:00

These just return the address and length of the current iovec segment in the iterator. Convert existing iov_iter_iovec() users to use them instead of getting a copy of the current vec. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

iov_iter: add iter_iovec() helper

2023-03-30T14:12:29+00:00

This returns a pointer to the current iovec entry in the iterator. Only useful with ITER_IOVEC right now, but it prepares us to treat ITER_UBUF and ITER_IOVEC identically for the first segment. Rename struct iov_iter->iov to iov_iter->__iov to find any potentially troublesome spots, and also to prevent anyone from adding new code that accesses iter->iov directly. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull cifs client updates from Steve French: "The largest subset of this is from David Howells et al: making the cifs/smb3 driver pass iov_iters down to the lowest layers, directly to the network transport rather than passing lists of pages around, helping multiple areas: - Pin user pages, thereby fixing the race between concurrent DIO read and fork, where the pages containing the DIO read buffer may end up belonging to the child process and not the parent - with the result that the parent might not see the retrieved data. - cifs shouldn't take refs on pages extracted from non-user-backed iterators (eg. KVEC). With these changes, cifs will apply the appropriate cleanup. - Making it easier to transition to using folios in cifs rather than pages by dealing with them through BVEC and XARRAY iterators. - Allowing cifs to use the new splice function The remainder are: - fixes for stable, including various fixes for uninitialized memory, wrong length field causing mount issue to very old servers, important directory lease fixes and reconnect fixes - cleanups (unused code removal, change one element array usage, and a change form strtobool to kstrtobool, and Kconfig cleanups) - SMBDIRECT (RDMA) fixes including iov_iter integration and UAF fixes - reconnect fixes - multichannel fixes, including improving channel allocation (to least used channel) - remove the last use of lock_page_killable by moving to folio_lock_killable" * tag '6.3-rc-smb3-client-fixes' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6: (46 commits) update internal module version number for cifs.ko cifs: update ip_addr for ses only for primary chan setup cifs: use tcon allocation functions even for dummy tcon cifs: use the least loaded channel for sending requests cifs: DIO to/from KVEC-type iterators should now work cifs: Remove unused code cifs: Build the RDMA SGE list directly from an iterator cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list cifs: Add a function to read into an iter from a socket cifs: Add some helper functions cifs: Add a function to Hash the contents of an iterator cifs: Add a function to build an RDMA SGE list from an iterator netfs: Add a function to extract an iterator into a scatterlist netfs: Add a function to extract a UBUF or IOVEC into a BVEC iterator cifs: Implement splice_read to pass down ITER_BVEC not ITER_PIPE splice: Export filemap/direct_splice_read() iov_iter: Add a function to extract a page list from an iterator iov_iter: Define flags to qualify page extraction. splice: Add a func to do a splice from an O_DIRECT file without ITER_PIPE splice: Add a func to do a splice from a buffered file without ITER_PIPE ...

iov_iter: Add a function to extract a page list from an iterator

2023-02-20T23:25:43+00:00

Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages(), to extract a list of pages from an iterator. The pages may be returned with a pin added or nothing, depending on the type of iterator. Add a second function, iov_iter_extract_will_pin(), to determine how the cleanup should be done. There are two cases: (1) ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator. Extracted pages will have pins (FOLL_PIN) obtained on them so that a concurrent fork() will forcibly copy the page so that DMA is done to/from the parent's buffer and is unavailable to/unaffected by the child process. iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return true for this case. The caller should use something like unpin_user_page() to dispose of the page. (2) Any other sort of iterator. No refs or pins are obtained on the page, the assumption is made that the caller will manage page retention. iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return false. The pages don't need additional disposal.
