[ Upstream commit dbefa1f31a91670c9e7dac9b559625336206466f ]

Commit b1fca27d384e ("kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE")
added support for clearing the state of once warnings. However,
it is not functional when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION or
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.once matches the
.data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro.

Commit cb87481ee89d ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless
LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress
the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case,
providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did
not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The
plan was to apply correct fixes and then revert cb87481ee89d. [1]

Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in
place. Meanwhile, commit b1fca27d384e introduced the .data.once section,
and commit dc5723b02e52 ("kbuild: add support for Clang LTO") extended
the #ifdef.

Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

[ Upstream commit 4080ef1579b2413435413988d14ac8c68e4d42c8 ]

Incorrect invocation of VMA callbacks when the VMA is no longer in a
consistent state is bug prone and risky to perform.

With regards to the important vm_ops-&gt;close() callback We have gone to
great lengths to try to track whether or not we ought to close VMAs.

Rather than doing so and risking making a mistake somewhere, instead
unconditionally close and reset vma-&gt;vm_ops to an empty dummy operations
set with a NULL .close operator.

We introduce a new function to do so - vma_close() - and simplify existing
vms logic which tracked whether we needed to close or not.

This simplifies the logic, avoids incorrect double-calling of the .close()
callback and allows us to update error paths to simply call vma_close()
unconditionally - making VMA closure idempotent.

<title>mm: avoid unsafe VMA hook invocation when error arises on mmap hook</title>

[ Upstream commit 3dd6ed34ce1f2356a77fb88edafb5ec96784e3cf ]

Patch series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor
(hotfixes)", v4.

mmap_region() is somewhat terrifying, with spaghetti-like control flow and
numerous means by which issues can arise and incomplete state, memory
leaks and other unpleasantness can occur.

A large amount of the complexity arises from trying to handle errors late
in the process of mapping a VMA, which forms the basis of recently
observed issues with resource leaks and observable inconsistent state.

This series goes to great lengths to simplify how mmap_region() works and
to avoid unwinding errors late on in the process of setting up the VMA for
the new mapping, and equally avoids such operations occurring while the
VMA is in an inconsistent state.

The patches in this series comprise the minimal changes required to
resolve existing issues in mmap_region() error handling, in order that
they can be hotfixed and backported.  There is additionally a follow up
series which goes further, separated out from the v1 series and sent and
updated separately.

This patch (of 5):

After an attempted mmap() fails, we are no longer in a situation where we
can safely interact with VMA hooks.  This is currently not enforced,
meaning that we need complicated handling to ensure we do not incorrectly
call these hooks.

We can avoid the whole issue by treating the VMA as suspect the moment
that the file-&gt;f_ops-&gt;mmap() function reports an error by replacing
whatever VMA operations were installed with a dummy empty set of VMA
operations.

We do so through a new helper function internal to mm - mmap_file() -
which is both more logically named than the existing call_mmap() function
and correctly isolates handling of the vm_op reassignment to mm.

All the existing invocations of call_mmap() outside of mm are ultimately
nested within the call_mmap() from mm, which we now replace.

It is therefore safe to leave call_mmap() in place as a convenience
    function (and to avoid churn).  The invokers are:

     ovl_file_operations -&gt; mmap -&gt; ovl_mmap() -&gt; backing_file_mmap()
    coda_file_operations -&gt; mmap -&gt; coda_file_mmap()
     shm_file_operations -&gt; shm_mmap()
shm_file_operations_huge -&gt; shm_mmap()
            dma_buf_fops -&gt; dma_buf_mmap_internal -&gt; i915_dmabuf_ops
                            -&gt; i915_gem_dmabuf_mmap()

None of these callers interact with vm_ops or mappings in a problematic
way on error, quickly exiting out.

<title>mm/thp: fix deferred split unqueue naming and locking</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fc4951c3e3358dd82ea508e893695b916c813f17</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f8f931bba0f92052cf842b7e30917b1afcc77d5a upstream.

Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues:
under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions,
"Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually
don't get to see how badly they end up without).  The relevant recent
changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin,
improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting.

Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(),
which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(),
which is what it does.  But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm
internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to
check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued,
which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing
callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()).

Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all
of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page()
will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no
longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately).

Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio-&gt;memcg_data 0
without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list;
which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg
(when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later,
when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially
corrupting the memcg's list.  __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0
here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before
resetting memcg_data.

That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split
shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding
to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to
swapcache.  That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim
(though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue
could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split
underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes
swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace.

Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue?  Yes: it is
no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely
to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the
queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment.

Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing
folio-&gt;memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the
deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout.
Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be
used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier:
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting
of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails.  Not ideal, but moving
charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later:
nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case.

The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list
to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0);
but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care
deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the
existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred
list.  As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false.

Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward.  Earlier backports must take
care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included.  There
is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

commit 593a10dabe08dcf93259fce2badd8dc2528859a8 upstream.

Folios of order &lt;= 1 are not in deferred list, the check of order is added
into folio_undo_large_rmappable() from commit 8897277acfef ("mm: support
order-1 folios in the page cache"), but there is a repeated check for
small folio (order 0) during each call of the
folio_undo_large_rmappable(), so only keep folio_order() check inside the
function.

In addition, move all the checks into header file to save a function call
for non-large-rmappable or empty deferred_list folio.

commit b7b098cf00a2b65d5654a86dc8edf82f125289c1 upstream.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".

These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.

The big effects of this patch series are:

 - folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
   page reference
 - We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
 - We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()

This patch (of 9):

For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list.  We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

commit 8897277acfef7f70fdecc054073bea2542fc7a1b upstream.

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.

commit 23e4883248f0472d806c8b3422ba6257e67bf1a5 upstream.

folio_prep_large_rmappable() is being used repeatedly along with a
conversion from page to folio, a check non-NULL, a check order &gt; 1: wrap
it all up into struct folio *page_rmappable_folio(struct page *).

commit f442fa6141379a20b48ae3efabee827a3d260787 upstream.

A kernel warning was reported when pinning folio in CMA memory when
launching SEV virtual machine.  The splat looks like:

[  464.325306] WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 6734 at mm/gup.c:1313 __get_user_pages+0x423/0x520

Per the analysis done by yangge, when starting the SEV virtual machine, it
will call pin_user_pages_fast(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin the memory.
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.

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

[ 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()-&gt;faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never
setting FOLL_TRIED-&gt;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.
