commit 67695f18d55924b2013534ef3bdc363bc9e14605 upstream.

In mfill_atomic_hugetlb(), mmap_changing isn't being checked
again if we drop mmap_lock and reacquire it. When the lock is not held,
mmap_changing could have been incremented. This is also inconsistent
with the behavior in mfill_atomic().

<title>mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a7605426666196c5a460dd3de6f8dac1d3c21f00 upstream.

The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache
regardless of dirty or clean.  If the page is dirty the later access
will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the
users.  This may cause silent data loss.  It is even worse for shmem
since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means
discarding data blocks.  The later read would return all zero.

The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any
later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault,
until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed.  The regular
storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is
focused on shmem.  This also unblock the support for soft offlining
shmem THP.

<title>mm/shmem: use page_mapping() to detect page cache for uffd continue</title>

commit 93b0d9178743a68723babe8448981f658aebc58e upstream.

mfill_atomic_install_pte() checks page-&gt;mapping to detect whether one page
is used in the page cache.  However as pointed out by Matthew, the page
can logically be a tail page rather than always the head in the case of
uffd minor mode with UFFDIO_CONTINUE.  It means we could wrongly install
one pte with shmem thp tail page assuming it's an anonymous page.

It's not that clear even for anonymous page, since normally anonymous
pages also have page-&gt;mapping being setup with the anon vma.  It's safe
here only because the only such caller to mfill_atomic_install_pte() is
always passing in a newly allocated page (mcopy_atomic_pte()), whose
page-&gt;mapping is not yet setup.  However that's not extremely obvious
either.

For either of above, use page_mapping() instead.

<title>mm: userfaultfd: fix UFFDIO_CONTINUE on fallocated shmem pages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:27056f20d7536c1f35c8ae1b4c1acc2f1415c4a5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 73f37dbcfe1763ee2294c7717a1f571e27d17fd8 upstream.

When fallocate() is used on a shmem file, the pages we allocate can end up
with !PageUptodate.

Since UFFDIO_CONTINUE tries to find the existing page the user wants to
map with SGP_READ, we would fail to find such a page, since
shmem_getpage_gfp returns with a "NULL" pagep for SGP_READ if it discovers
!PageUptodate.  As a result, UFFDIO_CONTINUE returns -EFAULT, as it would
do if the page wasn't found in the page cache at all.

This isn't the intended behavior.  UFFDIO_CONTINUE is just trying to find
if a page exists, and doesn't care whether it still needs to be cleared or
not.  So, instead of SGP_READ, pass in SGP_NOALLOC.  This is the same,
except for one critical difference: in the !PageUptodate case, SGP_NOALLOC
will clear the page and then return it.  With this change, UFFDIO_CONTINUE
works properly (succeeds) on a shmem file which has been fallocated, but
otherwise not modified.

commit 7c25a0b89a487878b0691e6524fb5a8827322194 upstream.

userfaultfd calls mcopy_atomic_pte() and __mcopy_atomic() which do not
do any cache flushing for the target page.  Then the target page will be
mapped to the user space with a different address (user address), which
might have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data
from the user to.  Fix this by insert flush_dcache_page() after
copy_from_user() succeeds.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "userfaultfd: minor bug fixes".

Three unrelated bug fixes. The first two addresses possible issues (not
too theoretical ones), but I did not encounter them in practice.

The third patch addresses a test bug that causes the test to fail on my
system. It has been sent before as part of a bigger RFC.

This patch (of 3):

mmap_changing is currently a boolean variable, which is set and cleared
without any lock that protects against concurrent modifications.

mmap_changing is supposed to mark whether userfaultfd page-faults handling
should be retried since mappings are undergoing a change.  However,
concurrent calls, for instance to madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), might cause
mmap_changing to be false, although the remove event was still not read
(hence acknowledged) by the user.

Change mmap_changing to atomic_t and increase/decrease appropriately.  Add
a debug assertion to see whether mmap_changing is negative.

<title>userfaultfd/shmem: modify shmem_mfill_atomic_pte to use install_pte()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7d64ae3ab648a967b7ba5cc3e89281d76742c34e</id>
<content type='text'>
In a previous commit, we added the mfill_atomic_install_pte() helper.
This helper does the job of setting up PTEs for an existing page, to map
it into a given VMA.  It deals with both the anon and shmem cases, as well
as the shared and private cases.

In other words, shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() duplicates a case it already
handles.  So, expose it, and let shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() use it directly,
to reduce code duplication.

This requires that we refactor shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() a bit:

Instead of doing accounting (shmem_recalc_inode() et al) part-way through
the PTE setup, do it afterward.  This frees up mfill_atomic_install_pte()
from having to care about this accounting, and means we don't need to e.g.
shmem_uncharge() in the error path.

A side effect is this switches shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() to use
lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() instead of just lru_cache_add().
This wrapper does some extra accounting in an exceptional case, if
appropriate, so it's actually the more correct thing to use.

<id>urn:sha1:153132571f0204dc5844faf6b0f8096c6c29d277</id>
<content type='text'>
With this change, userspace can resolve a minor fault within a
shmem-backed area with a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl.  The semantics for this
match those for hugetlbfs - we look up the existing page in the page
cache, and install a PTE for it.

This commit introduces a new helper: mfill_atomic_install_pte.

Why handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE for shmem in mm/userfaultfd.c, instead of in
shmem.c?  The existing userfault implementation only relies on shmem.c for
VM_SHARED VMAs.  However, minor fault handling / CONTINUE work just fine
for !VM_SHARED VMAs as well.  We'd prefer to handle CONTINUE for shmem in
one place, regardless of shared/private (to reduce code duplication).

Why add a new mfill_atomic_install_pte helper?  A problem we have with
continue is that shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() and mcopy_atomic_pte() are
*close* to what we want, but not exactly.  We do want to setup the PTEs in
a CONTINUE operation, but we don't want to e.g.  allocate a new page,
charge it (e.g.  to the shmem inode), manipulate various flags, etc.  Also
we have the problem stated above: shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() and
mcopy_atomic_pte() both handle one-half of the problem (shared / private)
continue cares about.  So, introduce mcontinue_atomic_pte(), to handle all
of the shmem continue cases.  Introduce the helper so it doesn't duplicate
code with mcopy_atomic_pte().

In a future commit, shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() will also be modified to use
this new helper.  However, since this is a bigger refactor, it seems most
clear to do it as a separate change.

Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling for shmem", v6.

Overview
========

See the series which added minor faults for hugetlbfs [3] for a detailed
overview of minor fault handling in general.  This series adds the same
support for shmem-backed areas.

This series is structured as follows:

- Commits 1 and 2 are cleanups.
- Commits 3 and 4 implement the new feature (minor fault handling for shmem).
- Commit 5 advertises that the feature is now available since at this point it's
  fully implemented.
- Commit 6 is a final cleanup, modifying an existing code path to re-use a new
  helper we've introduced.
- Commits 7, 8, 9, 10 update the userfaultfd selftest to exercise the feature.

Use Case
========

In some cases it is useful to have VM memory backed by tmpfs instead of
hugetlbfs.  So, this feature will be used to support the same VM live
migration use case described in my original series.

Additionally, Android folks (Lokesh Gidra &lt;lokeshgidra@google.com&gt;) hope
to optimize the Android Runtime garbage collector using this feature:

"The plan is to use userfaultfd for concurrently compacting the heap.
With this feature, the heap can be shared-mapped at another location where
the GC-thread(s) could continue the compaction operation without the need
to invoke userfault ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY) each time.  OTOH, if and when Java
threads get faults on the heap, UFFDIO_CONTINUE can be used to resume
execution.  Furthermore, this feature enables updating references in the
'non-moving' portion of the heap efficiently.  Without this feature,
uneccessary page copying (ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY)) would be required."

This patch (of 9):

Previously, we did a dance where we had one calling path in userfaultfd.c
(mfill_atomic_pte), but then we split it into two in shmem_fs.h
(shmem_{mcopy_atomic,mfill_zeropage}_pte), and then rejoined into a single
shared function in shmem.c (shmem_mfill_atomic_pte).

This is all a bit overly complex.  Just call the single combined shmem
function directly, allowing us to clean up various branches, boilerplate,
etc.

While we're touching this function, two other small cleanup changes:
- offset is equivalent to pgoff, so we can get rid of offset entirely.
- Split two VM_BUG_ON cases into two statements. This means the line
  number reported when the BUG is hit specifies exactly which condition
  was true.

<title>mm, hugetlb: fix racy resv_huge_pages underflow on UFFDIO_COPY</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=8cc5fcbb5be814c115085549b700e473685b11e9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8cc5fcbb5be814c115085549b700e473685b11e9</id>
<content type='text'>
On UFFDIO_COPY, if we fail to copy the page contents while holding the
hugetlb_fault_mutex, we will drop the mutex and return to the caller after
allocating a page that consumed a reservation.  In this case there may be
a fault that double consumes the reservation.  To handle this, we free the
allocated page, fix the reservations, and allocate a temporary hugetlb
page and return that to the caller.  When the caller does the copy outside
of the lock, we again check the cache, and allocate a page consuming the
reservation, and copy over the contents.

Test:
Hacked the code locally such that resv_huge_pages underflows produce
a warning and the copy_huge_page_from_user() always fails, then:

./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb_shared 10
        2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test &amp;&amp; echo test success
./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb 10
	2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test &amp;&amp; echo test success

Both tests succeed and produce no warnings. After the
test runs number of free/resv hugepages is correct.
