mm/vmalloc: leave lazy MMU mode on PTE mapping error

2025-08-28T14:24:03+00:00

commit fea18c686320a53fce7ad62a87a3e1d10ad02f31 upstream. vmap_pages_pte_range() enters the lazy MMU mode, but fails to leave it in case an error is encountered.

mm: don't skip arch_sync_kernel_mappings() in error paths

2025-03-13T11:51:03+00:00

commit 3685024edd270f7c791f993157d65d3c928f3d6e upstream. Fix callers that previously skipped calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings() if an error occurred during a pgtable update. The call is still required to sync any pgtable updates that may have occurred prior to hitting the error condition. These are theoretical bugs discovered during code review.

vmalloc: fix accounting with i915

2025-01-09T12:28:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit a2e740e216f5bf49ccb83b6d490c72a340558a43 ] If the caller of vmap() specifies VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES (currently only the i915 driver), we will decrement nr_vmalloc_pages and MEMCG_VMALLOC in vfree(). These counters are incremented by vmalloc() but not by vmap() so this will cause an underflow. Check the VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES flag before decrementing either counter.

mm/vmalloc: add a safer version of find_vm_area() for debug

mm: add a call to flush_cache_vmap() in vmap_pfn()

2023-08-30T14:18:16+00:00

commit a50420c79731fc5cf27ad43719c1091e842a2606 upstream. flush_cache_vmap() must be called after new vmalloc mappings are installed in the page table in order to allow architectures to make sure the new mapping is visible. It could lead to a panic since on some architectures (like powerpc), the page table walker could see the wrong pte value and trigger a spurious page fault that can not be resolved (see commit f1cb8f9beba8 ("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and ptep_set_access_flags")). But actually the patch is aiming at riscv: the riscv specification allows the caching of invalid entries in the TLB, and since we recently removed the vmalloc page fault handling, we now need to emit a tlb shootdown whenever a new vmalloc mapping is emitted (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230725132246.817726-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com/).

Finally I figured out it was caused by a fatal signal. When a process is allocating memory via vm_area_alloc_pages(), it will break directly even if it hasn't allocated the requested pages when it receives a fatal signal. In that case, we shouldn't show this warn_alloc, as it is useless. We only need to show this warning when there're really no enough pages.

mm: defer kmemleak object creation of module_alloc()

2022-03-08T18:12:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 60115fa54ad7b913b7cb5844e6b7ffeb842d55f2 ] Yongqiang reports a kmemleak panic when module insmod/rmmod with KASAN enabled(without KASAN_VMALLOC) on x86[1]. When the module area allocates memory, it's kmemleak_object is created successfully, but the KASAN shadow memory of module allocation is not ready, so when kmemleak scan the module's pointer, it will panic due to no shadow memory with KASAN check. module_alloc __vmalloc_node_range kmemleak_vmalloc kmemleak_scan update_checksum kasan_module_alloc kmemleak_ignore Note, there is no problem if KASAN_VMALLOC enabled, the modules area entire shadow memory is preallocated. Thus, the bug only exits on ARCH which supports dynamic allocation of module area per module load, for now, only x86/arm64/s390 are involved. Add a VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK flags, defer vmalloc'ed object register of kmemleak in module_alloc() to fix this issue.

mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables

2021-10-29T00:18:55+00:00

Eric Dumazet reported a strange numa spreading info in [1], and found commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") introduced this issue [2]. Dig into the difference before and after this patch, page allocation has some difference: before: alloc_large_system_hash __vmalloc __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...) __vmalloc_node_range __vmalloc_area_node alloc_page /* because NUMA_NO_NODE, so choose alloc_page branch */ alloc_pages_current alloc_page_interleave /* can be proved by print policy mode */ after: alloc_large_system_hash __vmalloc __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...) __vmalloc_node_range __vmalloc_area_node alloc_pages_node /* choose nid by nuam_mem_id() */ __alloc_pages_node(nid, ....) So after commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"), it will allocate memory in current node instead of interleaving allocate memory.
