commit 6fe7d6b992113719e96744d974212df3fcddc76c upstream.

The si-&gt;lock must be held when deleting the si from the available list.
Otherwise, another thread can re-add the si to the available list, which
can lead to memory corruption.  The only place we have found where this
happens is in the swapoff path.  This case can be described as below:

core 0                       core 1
swapoff

del_from_avail_list(si)      waiting

try lock si-&gt;lock            acquire swap_avail_lock
                             and re-add si into
                             swap_avail_head

acquire si-&gt;lock but missing si already being added again, and continuing
to clear SWP_WRITEOK, etc.

It can be easily found that a massive warning messages can be triggered
inside get_swap_pages() by some special cases, for example, we call
madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) on blocks of touched memory concurrently, meanwhile,
run much swapon-swapoff operations (e.g.  stress-ng-swap).

However, in the worst case, panic can be caused by the above scene.  In
swapoff(), the memory used by si could be kept in swap_info[] after
turning off a swap.  This means memory corruption will not be caused
immediately until allocated and reset for a new swap in the swapon path.
A panic message caused: (with CONFIG_PLIST_DEBUG enabled)

<title>mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages()</title>

commit 7717fc1a12f88701573f9ed897cc4f6699c661e3 upstream.

The softlockup still occurs in get_swap_pages() under memory pressure.  64
CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the disksize of each zram
device is 50MB with same priority as si.  Use the stress-ng tool to
increase memory pressure, causing the system to oom frequently.

The plist_for_each_entry_safe() loops in get_swap_pages() could reach tens
of thousands of times to find available space (extreme case:
cond_resched() is not called in scan_swap_map_slots()).  Let's add
cond_resched() into get_swap_pages() when failed to find available space
to avoid softlockup.

<title>swapfile: fix soft lockup in scan_swap_map_slots</title>

<id>urn:sha1:de1ccfb648243a031cfbdc2d5571dfdaf5023106</id>
<content type='text'>
A softlockup occurs in scan free swap slot under huge memory pressure. 
The test scenario is: 64 CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the
disksize of each zram device is 50MB.

LATENCY_LIMIT is used to prevent softlockups in scan_swap_map_slots(), but
the real loop number would more than LATENCY_LIMIT because of "goto checks
and goto scan" repeatly without decreasing latency limit.

In order to fix it, decrease latency_ration in advance.

There is also a suspicious place that will cause softlockups in
get_swap_pages().  In this function, the "goto start_over" may result in
continuous scanning of the swap partition.  If there is no cond_sched in
scan_swap_map_slots(), it would cause a softlockup (I am not sure about
this).

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.
