mm/migrate_device: don't add folio to be freed to LRU in migrate_device_finalize()

2025-10-02T11:42:54+00:00

commit 41cddf83d8b00f29fd105e7a0777366edc69a5cf upstream. If migration succeeded, we called folio_migrate_flags()->mem_cgroup_migrate() to migrate the memcg from the old to the new folio. This will set memcg_data of the old folio to 0. Similarly, if migration failed, memcg_data of the dst folio is left unset. If we call folio_putback_lru() on such folios (memcg_data == 0), we will add the folio to be freed to the LRU, making memcg code unhappy.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen: "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk

2023-08-21T20:07:20+00:00

walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the walk. The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such walks. A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range() to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

mmu_notifiers: don't invalidate secondary TLBs as part of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()

2023-08-18T17:12:41+00:00

Secondary TLBs are now invalidated from the architecture specific TLB invalidation functions. Therefore there is no need to explicitly notify or invalidate as part of the range end functions. This means we can remove mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end_only() and some of the ptep_*_notify() functions.

mm: Make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA

2023-07-11T21:12:15+00:00

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). Future patches will make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Previous work pte_mkwrite() renamed pte_mkwrite_novma() and converted callers that don't have a VMA were to use pte_mkwrite_novma(). So now change pte_mkwrite() to take a VMA and change the remaining callers to pass a VMA. Apply the same changes for pmd_mkwrite(). No functional change.

mm: ptep_get() conversion

2023-06-19T23:19:25+00:00

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics. But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source. Conversion was done using Coccinelle: ---- // $ make coccicheck \ // COCCI=ptepget.cocci \ // SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \ // MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ pte_t *v; @@ - *v + ptep_get(v) ---- Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex. Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep. So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are defined.
