<id>urn:sha1:46b4c5d9df6d94c45de2b42d264b848884ee25a6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 692fe62433d4ca47605b39f7c416efd6679ba694 upstream.

Currently handling of MADV_WILLNEED hint calls directly into readahead
code. Handle it by calling vfs_fadvise() instead so that filesystem can
use its -&gt;fadvise() callback to acquire necessary locks or otherwise
prepare for the request.

This updates each existing invalidation to use the correct mmu notifier
event that represent what is happening to the CPU page table.  See the
patch which introduced the events to see the rational behind this.

<id>urn:sha1:6f4f13e8d9e27cefd2cd88dd4fd80aa6d68b9131</id>
<content type='text'>
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).

Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
specific action for them.  While current API only provide range of virtual
address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.

This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
a given vma).  Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
inspect the new vma page protection.

The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
happens.  A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
events for each call.

This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
as it uses this following coccinelle patch:

To avoid having to change many call sites everytime we want to add a

invalidate_range_start/end cakks.  No functional changes with this patch.

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
  structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
  at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
  more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
  its users.

  This patch set

   1. Introduces the XArray implementation

   2. Converts the pagecache to use it

   3. Converts memremap to use it

  The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
  tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
  code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
  us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.

  I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
  tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
  other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
  applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
  interested"

Reproducer, assuming 2M of hugetlbfs available:

  HugePages_Surp:        0
  Hugepagesize:       2048 kB
  Hugetlb:            2048 kB

Code:

  #include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stddef.h&gt;
  #define SIZE 2*1024*1024
  int main()
  {
    void *ptr;
    ptr = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
    madvise(ptr, SIZE, MADV_DONTDUMP);
    madvise(ptr, SIZE, MADV_DODUMP);
  }

Compile and strace:

  mmap(NULL, 2097152, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_HUGETLB, -1, 0) = 0x7ff7c9200000
  madvise(0x7ff7c9200000, 2097152, MADV_DONTDUMP) = 0
  madvise(0x7ff7c9200000, 2097152, MADV_DODUMP) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

hugetlbfs pages have VM_DONTEXPAND in the VmFlags driver pages based on
author testing with analysis from Florian Weimer[1].

The inclusion of VM_DONTEXPAND into the VM_SPECIAL defination was a
consequence of the large useage of VM_DONTEXPAND in device drivers.

A consequence of [2] is that VM_DONTEXPAND marked pages are unable to be
marked DODUMP.

A user could quite legitimately madvise(MADV_DONTDUMP) their hugetlbfs
memory for a while and later request that madvise(MADV_DODUMP) on the same
memory.  We correct this omission by allowing madvice(MADV_DODUMP) on
hugetlbfs pages.

<content type='text'>
Introduce xarray value entries and tagged pointers to replace radix
tree exceptional entries.  This is a slight change in encoding to allow
the use of an extra bit (we can now store BITS_PER_LONG - 1 bits in a
value entry).  It is also a change in emphasis; exceptional entries are
intimidating and different.  As the comment explains, you can choose
to store values or pointers in the xarray and they are both first-class
citizens.

<title>mm, madvise_inject_error: Let memory_failure() optionally take a page reference</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23e7b5c2e2715947cf1ff57124dd3e96caf48521</id>
<content type='text'>
The madvise_inject_error() routine uses get_user_pages() to lookup the
pfn and other information for injected error, but it does not release
that pin. The assumption is that failed pages should be taken out of
circulation.

However, for dax mappings it is not possible to take pages out of
circulation since they are 1:1 physically mapped as filesystem blocks,
or device-dax capacity. They also typically represent persistent memory
which has an error clearing capability.

In preparation for adding a special handler for dax mappings, shift the
responsibility of taking the page reference to memory_failure(). I.e.
drop the page reference and do not specify MF_COUNT_INCREASED to
memory_failure().
