mm: folio_may_be_lru_cached() unless folio_test_large()

2025-10-02T11:42:49+00:00

[ 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".

mm/gup: local lru_add_drain() to avoid lru_add_drain_all()

2025-10-02T11:42:49+00:00

[ 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.

mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration

2025-10-02T11:42:49+00:00

[ 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").

mm/gup: revert "mm: gup: fix infinite loop within __get_longterm_locked"

2025-10-02T11:42:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 517f496e1e61bd169d585dab4dd77e7147506322 ] 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->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.

mm/gup: fix wrongly calculated returned value in fault_in_safe_writeable()

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.

mm: gup: fix infinite loop within __get_longterm_locked

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->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 f442fa6141379a20b48ae3efabee827a3d260787 upstream. A kernel warning was reported when pinning folio in CMA memory when launching SEV virtual machine.

But the page is in CMA area, so fast GUP will fail then fallback to the slow path due to the longterm pinnalbe check in try_grab_folio(). The slow path will try to pin the pages then migrate them out of CMA area. But the slow path also uses try_grab_folio() to pin the page, it will also fail due to the same check then the above warning is triggered. In addition, the try_grab_folio() is supposed to be used in fast path and it elevates folio refcount by using add ref unless zero. We are guaranteed to have at least one stable reference in slow path, so the simple atomic add could be used. The performance difference should be trivial, but the misuse may be confusing and misleading. Redefined try_grab_folio() to try_grab_folio_fast(), and try_grab_page() to try_grab_folio(), and use them in the proper paths. This solves both the abuse and the kernel warning. The proper naming makes their usecase more clear and should prevent from abusing in the future. peterx said: : The user will see the pin fails, for gpu-slow it further triggers the WARN : right below that failure (as in the original report): : : folio = try_grab_folio(page, page_increm - 1, : foll_flags); : if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio)) { <------------------------ here : /* : * Release the 1st page ref if the : * folio is problematic, fail hard. : */ : gup_put_folio(page_folio(page), 1, : foll_flags); : ret = -EFAULT; : goto out; : } [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1719478388-31917-1-git-send-email-yangge1116@126.com/ [shy828301@gmail.com: fix implicit declaration of function try_grab_folio_fast] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAHbLzkowMSso-4Nufc9hcMehQsK9PNz3OSu-+eniU-2Mm-xjhA@mail.gmail.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240628191458.2605553-1-yang@os.amperecomputing.com Fixes: 57edfcfd3419 ("mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"") Signed-off-by: Yang Shi Reported-by: yangge Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: David Hildenbrand Cc: Peter Xu Cc: [6.6+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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.

mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly

2024-05-02T14:32:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 631426ba1d45a8672b177ee85ad4cabe760dd131 ] Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT. While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever. A reproducer can be found at [1]. The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way: it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages(). __get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong. So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to madvise_populate(). But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with different error codes than we'd want to. As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there. With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.

mm/gup: explicitly define and check internal GUP flags, disallow FOLL_TOUCH

2024-05-02T14:32:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0f20bba1688bdf3b32df0162511a67d4eda15790 ] Rather than open-coding a list of internal GUP flags in is_valid_gup_args(), define which ones are internal. In addition, explicitly check to see if the user passed in FOLL_TOUCH somehow, as this appears to have been accidentally excluded.
