[ Upstream commit 2da6de30e60dd9bb14600eff1cc99df2fa2ddae3 ]

mm/swap.c and mm/mlock.c agree to drain any per-CPU batch as soon as a
large folio is added: so collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() just wastes
effort when calling lru_add_drain[_all]() on a large folio.

But although there is good reason not to batch up PMD-sized folios, we
might well benefit from batching a small number of low-order mTHPs (though
unclear how that "small number" limitation will be implemented).

So ask if folio_may_be_lru_cached() rather than !folio_test_large(), to
insulate those particular checks from future change.  Name preferred to
"folio_is_batchable" because large folios can well be put on a batch: it's
just the per-CPU LRU caches, drained much later, which need care.

Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from
"mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".

[ Upstream commit a09a8a1fbb374e0053b97306da9dbc05bd384685 ]

In many cases, if collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() does need to drain
the LRU cache to release a reference, the cache in question is on this
same CPU, and much more efficiently drained by a preliminary local
lru_add_drain(), than the later cross-CPU lru_add_drain_all().

Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from
"mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".  Note for clean
backports: can take 6.16 commit a03db236aebf ("gup: optimize longterm
pin_user_pages() for large folio") first.

[ Upstream commit 98c6d259319ecf6e8d027abd3f14b81324b8c0ad ]

Patch series "mm: better GUP pin lru_add_drain_all()", v2.

Series of lru_add_drain_all()-related patches, arising from recent mm/gup
migration report from Will Deacon.

This patch (of 5):

Will Deacon reports:-

When taking a longterm GUP pin via pin_user_pages(),
__gup_longterm_locked() tries to migrate target folios that should not be
longterm pinned, for example because they reside in a CMA region or
movable zone.  This is done by first pinning all of the target folios
anyway, collecting all of the longterm-unpinnable target folios into a
list, dropping the pins that were just taken and finally handing the list
off to migrate_pages() for the actual migration.

It is critically important that no unexpected references are held on the
folios being migrated, otherwise the migration will fail and
pin_user_pages() will return -ENOMEM to its caller.  Unfortunately, it is
relatively easy to observe migration failures when running pKVM (which
uses pin_user_pages() on crosvm's virtual address space to resolve stage-2
page faults from the guest) on a 6.15-based Pixel 6 device and this
results in the VM terminating prematurely.

In the failure case, 'crosvm' has called mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on its
mapping of guest memory prior to the pinning.  Subsequently, when
pin_user_pages() walks the page-table, the relevant 'pte' is not present
and so the faulting logic allocates a new folio, mlocks it with
mlock_folio() and maps it in the page-table.

Since commit 2fbb0c10d1e8 ("mm/munlock: mlock_page() munlock_page() batch
by pagevec"), mlock/munlock operations on a folio (formerly page), are
deferred.  For example, mlock_folio() takes an additional reference on the
target folio before placing it into a per-cpu 'folio_batch' for later
processing by mlock_folio_batch(), which drops the refcount once the
operation is complete.  Processing of the batches is coupled with the LRU
batch logic and can be forcefully drained with lru_add_drain_all() but as
long as a folio remains unprocessed on the batch, its refcount will be
elevated.

This deferred batching therefore interacts poorly with the pKVM pinning
scenario as we can find ourselves in a situation where the migration code
fails to migrate a folio due to the elevated refcount from the pending
mlock operation.

Hugh Dickins adds:-

!folio_test_lru() has never been a very reliable way to tell if an
lru_add_drain_all() is worth calling, to remove LRU cache references to
make the folio migratable: the LRU flag may be set even while the folio is
held with an extra reference in a per-CPU LRU cache.

5.18 commit 2fbb0c10d1e8 may have made it more unreliable.  Then 6.11
commit 33dfe9204f29 ("mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding
to LRU batch") tried to make it reliable, by moving LRU flag clearing; but
missed the mlock/munlock batches, so still unreliable as reported.

And it turns out to be difficult to extend 33dfe9204f29's LRU flag
clearing to the mlock/munlock batches: if they do benefit from batching,
mlock/munlock cannot be so effective when easily suppressed while !LRU.

Instead, switch to an expected ref_count check, which was more reliable
all along: some more false positives (unhelpful drains) than before, and
never a guarantee that the folio will prove migratable, but better.

Note on PG_private_2: ceph and nfs are still using the deprecated
PG_private_2 flag, with the aid of netfs and filemap support functions.
Although it is consistently matched by an increment of folio ref_count,
folio_expected_ref_count() intentionally does not recognize it, and ceph
folio migration currently depends on that for PG_private_2 folios to be
rejected.  New references to the deprecated flag are discouraged, so do
not add it into the collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() calculation: but
longterm pinning of transiently PG_private_2 ceph and nfs folios (an
uncommon case) may invoke a redundant lru_add_drain_all().  And this makes
easy the backport to earlier releases: up to and including 6.12, btrfs
also used PG_private_2, but without a ref_count increment.

Note for stable backports: requires 6.16 commit 86ebd50224c0 ("mm:
add folio_expected_ref_count() for reference count calculation").

commit a03db236aebfaeadf79396dbd570896b870bda01 upstream.

In the current implementation of longterm pin_user_pages(), we invoke
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios().  This function iterates through the
list to check whether each folio belongs to the "longterm_unpinnabled"
category.  The folios in this list essentially correspond to a contiguous
region of userspace addresses, with each folio representing a physical
address in increments of PAGESIZE.

If this userspace address range is mapped with large folio, we can
optimize the performance of function collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios()
by reducing the using of READ_ONCE() invoked in
pofs_get_folio()-&gt;page_folio()-&gt;_compound_head().

Also, we can simplify the logic of collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios().
Instead of comparing with prev_folio after calling pofs_get_folio(), we
can check whether the next page is within the same folio.

The performance test results, based on v6.15, obtained through the
gup_test tool from the kernel source tree are as follows.  We achieve an
improvement of over 66% for large folio with pagesize=2M.  For small
folio, we have only observed a very slight degradation in performance.

commit 517f496e1e61bd169d585dab4dd77e7147506322 upstream.

After commit 1aaf8c122918 ("mm: gup: fix infinite loop within
__get_longterm_locked") we are able to longterm pin folios that are not
supposed to get longterm pinned, simply because they temporarily have the
LRU flag cleared (esp.  temporarily isolated).

For example, two __get_longterm_locked() callers can race, or
__get_longterm_locked() can race with anything else that temporarily
isolates folios.

The introducing commit mentions the use case of a driver that uses
vm_ops-&gt;fault to insert pages allocated through cma_alloc() into the page
tables, assuming they can later get longterm pinned.  These pages/ folios
would never have the LRU flag set and consequently cannot get isolated.
There is no known in-tree user making use of that so far, fortunately.

To handle that in the future -- and avoid retrying forever to
isolate/migrate them -- we will need a different mechanism for the CMA
area *owner* to indicate that it actually already allocated the page and
is fine with longterm pinning it.  The LRU flag is not suitable for that.

Probably we can lookup the relevant CMA area and query the bitmap; we only
have have to care about some races, probably.  If already allocated, we
could just allow longterm pinning)

Anyhow, let's fix the "must not be longterm pinned" problem first by
reverting the original commit.

commit 8c03ebd7cdc06bd0d2fecb4d1a609ef1dbb7d0aa upstream.

Not like fault_in_readable() or fault_in_writeable(), in
fault_in_safe_writeable() local variable 'start' is increased page by page
to loop till the whole address range is handled.  However, it mistakenly
calculates the size of the handled range with 'uaddr - start'.

Fix it here.

Andreas said:

: In gfs2, fault_in_iov_iter_writeable() is used in
: gfs2_file_direct_read() and gfs2_file_read_iter(), so this potentially
: affects buffered as well as direct reads.  This bug could cause those
: gfs2 functions to spin in a loop.

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
# echo offline &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state

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.

commit 1aaf8c122918aa8897605a9aa1e8ed6600d6f930 upstream.

We can run into an infinite loop in __get_longterm_locked() when
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() finds only folios that are isolated
from the LRU or were never added to the LRU.  This can happen when all
folios to be pinned are never added to the LRU, for example when
vm_ops-&gt;fault allocated pages using cma_alloc() and never added them to
the LRU.

Fix it by simply taking a look at the list in the single caller, to see if
anything was added.

commit a1268be280d8e484ab3606d7476edd0f14bb9961 upstream.

The recent addition of "pofs" (pages or folios) handling to gup has a
flaw: it assumes that unpin_user_pages() handles NULL pages in the pages**
array.  That's not the case, as I discovered when I ran on a new
configuration on my test machine.

Fix this by skipping NULL pages in unpin_user_pages(), just like
unpin_folios() already does.

Details: when booting on x86 with "numa=fake=2 movablecore=4G" on Linux
6.12, and running this:

    tools/testing/selftests/mm/gup_longterm

...I get the following crash:
