This BUG is the VM_BUG_ON(!in_atomic() &amp;&amp; !irqs_disabled()) assertion in
folio_ref_try_add_rcu() for non-SMP kernel.

The process_vm_readv() calls GUP to pin the THP. An optimization for
pinning THP instroduced by commit 57edfcfd3419 ("mm/gup: accelerate thp
gup even for "pages != NULL"") calls try_grab_folio() to pin the THP,
but try_grab_folio() is supposed to be called in atomic context for
non-SMP kernel, for example, irq disabled or preemption disabled, due to
the optimization introduced by commit e286781d5f2e ("mm: speculative
page references").

The commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") is not actually the root cause although it was bisected to.
It just makes the problem exposed more likely.

The follow up discussion suggested the optimization for non-SMP kernel
may be out-dated and not worth it anymore [1].  So removing the
optimization to silence the BUG.

However calling try_grab_folio() in GUP slow path actually is
unnecessary, so the following patch will clean this up.

commit 3390916aca7af1893ed2ebcdfee1d6fdb65bb058 upstream.

On ARM64, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 when the base page size is 64KB.  The
PMD-sized page cache can't be supported by xarray as the following error
messages indicate.

Fix it by skipping to allocate PMD-sized page cache when its size is
larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER.  For this specific case, we will fall to
regular path where the readahead window is determined by BDI's sysfs file
(read_ahead_kb).

<title>filemap: replace pte_offset_map() with pte_offset_map_nolock()</title>

commit 24be02a42181f0707be0498045c4c4b13273b16d upstream.

The vmf-&gt;ptl in filemap_fault_recheck_pte_none() is still set from
handle_pte_fault().  But at the same time, we did a pte_unmap(vmf-&gt;pte).
After a pte_unmap(vmf-&gt;pte) unmap and rcu_read_unlock(), the page table
may be racily changed and vmf-&gt;ptl maybe fails to protect the actual page
table.  Fix this by replacing pte_offset_map() with
pte_offset_map_nolock().

As David said, the PTL pointer might be stale so if we continue to use
it infilemap_fault_recheck_pte_none(), it might trigger UAF.  Also, if
the PTL fails, the issue fixed by commit 58f327f2ce80 ("filemap: avoid
unnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()") might reappear.

<title>cachestat: do not flush stats in recency check</title>

commit 5a4d8944d6b1e1aaaa83ea42c116b520b4ed0394 upstream.

syzbot detects that cachestat() is flushing stats, which can sleep, in its
RCU read section (see [1]).  This is done in the workingset_test_recent()
step (which checks if the folio's eviction is recent).

Move the stat flushing step to before the RCU read section of cachestat,
and skip stat flushing during the recency check.

<title>mm: cachestat: fix two shmem bugs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d5d39c707a4cf0bcc84680178677b97aa2cb2627</id>
<content type='text'>
When cachestat on shmem races with swapping and invalidation, there
are two possible bugs:

1) A swapin error can have resulted in a poisoned swap entry in the
   shmem inode's xarray. Calling get_shadow_from_swap_cache() on it
   will result in an out-of-bounds access to swapper_spaces[].

   Validate the entry with non_swap_entry() before going further.

2) When we find a valid swap entry in the shmem's inode, the shadow
   entry in the swapcache might not exist yet: swap IO is still in
   progress and we're before __remove_mapping; swapin, invalidation,
   or swapoff have removed the shadow from swapcache after we saw the
   shmem swap entry.

   This will send a NULL to workingset_test_recent(). The latter
   purely operates on pointer bits, so it won't crash - node 0, memcg
   ID 0, eviction timestamp 0, etc. are all valid inputs - but it's a
   bogus test. In theory that could result in a false "recently
   evicted" count.

   Such a false positive wouldn't be the end of the world. But for
   code clarity and (future) robustness, be explicit about this case.

   Bail on get_shadow_from_swap_cache() returning NULL.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

 - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
   series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
   Selftests".

 - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
   the individual changelogs for details.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.

   - Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
     where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
     flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
     conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.

   - Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
     between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.

   - Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.

   - Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
     filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
     times.

   - Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
     when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
     filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
     that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
     offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
     this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.

   - Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
     been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
     insensitive operations through -&gt;s_d_op which in turn allows us to
     remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
     It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
     first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
     This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
     over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
     odd behaviors.

  Cleanups:

   - Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that -&gt;d_real() is
     simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
     cycles.

   - Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.

   - Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
     helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
     filemap code.

   - The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
     fs/

   - It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
     unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
     extraction. Remove it.

   - Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
     works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
     that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
     case.

   - Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
     of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.

   - Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
     be made static as it's only used in that one file.

   - Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
     easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
     generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
     clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
     saves a bit of time for the same workload.

   - Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
     kmem_cache_create().

   - Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()

   - Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.

   - Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.

  Fixes:

   - Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.

   - Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.

   - Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.

   - Fix build errors in various selftests.

   - Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.

   - Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
     idmapped mounts.

   - Fix sysv sb_read() call.

   - Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

<title>filemap: avoid unnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:58f327f2ce80f9c7b4a70e9cf017ae8810d44a20</id>
<content type='text'>
A major fault occurred when using mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE) in
application, which leading to an unexpected issue[1].

This is caused by temporarily cleared PTE during a read+clear/modify/write
update of the PTE, eg, do_numa_page()/change_pte_range().

For the data segment of the user-mode program, the global variable area is
a private mapping.  After the pagecache is loaded, the private anonymous
page is generated after the COW is triggered.  Mlockall can lock COW pages
(anonymous pages), but the original file pages cannot be locked and may be
reclaimed.  If the global variable (private anon page) is accessed when
vmf-&gt;pte is zeroed in numa fault, a file page fault will be triggered.  At
this time, the original private file page may have been reclaimed.  If the
page cache is not available at this time, a major fault will be triggered
and the file will be read, causing additional overhead.

This issue affects our traffic analysis service.  The inbound traffic is
heavy.  If a major fault occurs, the I/O schedule is triggered and the
original I/O is suspended.  Generally, the I/O schedule is 0.7 ms.  If
other applications are operating disks, the system needs to wait for more
than 10 ms.  However, the inbound traffic is heavy and the NIC buffer is
small.  As a result, packet loss occurs.  But the traffic analysis service
can't tolerate packet loss.

Fix this by holding PTL and rechecking the PTE in filemap_fault() before
triggering a major fault.  We do this check only if vma is VM_LOCKED to
reduce the performance impact in common scenarios.

In our product environment, there were 7 major faults every 12 hours. 
After the patch is applied, no major fault have been triggered.

Testing file page read and write page fault performance in ext4 and
ramdisk using will-it-scale[2] on a x86 physical machine.  The data is the
average change compared with the mainline after the patch is applied.  The
test results are within the range of fluctuation.  We do this check only
if vma is VM_LOCKED, therefore, no performance regressions is caused for
most common cases.

The test results are as follows:
                          processes processes_idle  threads threads_idle

<content type='text'>
Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list.  This is not a
problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never placed on the
deferred list.  All we need to do is prevent the core MM from touching the
deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the code which prevented us
from allocating order 1 folios.
