      userfaultfd/shmem: support minor fault registration for shmem · c949b097
      由 Axel Rasmussen 提交于 
      This patch allows shmem-backed VMAs to be registered for minor faults.
Minor faults are appropriately relayed to userspace in the fault path, for
VMAs with the relevant flag.

This commit doesn't hook up the UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl for shmem-backed
minor faults, though, so userspace doesn't yet have a way to resolve such
faults.

Because of this, we also don't yet advertise this as a supported feature.
That will be done in a separate commit when the feature is fully
implemented.

      mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for fork() · 8f34f1ea
      由 Peter Xu 提交于 
      We tried to do something similar in b569a176 ("userfaultfd: wp: drop
_PAGE_UFFD_WP properly when fork") previously, but it's not doing it all
right..  A few fixes around the code path:

1. We were referencing VM_UFFD_WP vm_flags on the _old_ vma rather
   than the new vma.  That's overlooked in b569a176, so it won't work
   as expected.  Thanks to the recent rework on fork code
   (7a4830c3), we can easily get the new vma now, so switch the
   checks to that.

2. Dropping the uffd-wp bit in copy_huge_pmd() could be wrong if the
   huge pmd is a migration huge pmd.  When it happens, instead of using
   pmd_uffd_wp(), we should use pmd_swp_uffd_wp().  The fix is simply to
   handle them separately.

3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write migration huge pmd
   entry.  This also happens in copy_huge_pmd(), where we converted a
   write huge migration entry into a read one.

4. In copy_nonpresent_pte(), drop uffd-wp if necessary for swap ptes.

5. In copy_present_page() when COW is enforced when fork(), we also
   need to pass over the uffd-wp bit if VM_UFFD_WP is armed on the new
   vma, and when the pte to be copied has uffd-wp bit set.

Remove the comment in copy_present_pte() about this.  It won't help a huge
lot to only comment there, but comment everywhere would be an overkill.
Let's assume the commit messages would help.

    • H
      mm/thp: unmap_mapping_page() to fix THP truncate_cleanup_page() · 22061a1f
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      There is a race between THP unmapping and truncation, when truncate sees
pmd_none() and skips the entry, after munmap's zap_huge_pmd() cleared
it, but before its page_remove_rmap() gets to decrement
compound_mapcount: generating false "BUG: Bad page cache" reports that
the page is still mapped when deleted.  This commit fixes that, but not
in the way I hoped.

The first attempt used try_to_unmap(page, TTU_SYNC|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK)
instead of unmap_mapping_range() in truncate_cleanup_page(): it has
often been an annoyance that we usually call unmap_mapping_range() with
no pages locked, but there apply it to a single locked page.
try_to_unmap() looks more suitable for a single locked page.

However, try_to_unmap_one() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!pvmw.pte,page):
it is used to insert THP migration entries, but not used to unmap THPs.
Copy zap_huge_pmd() and add THP handling now? Perhaps, but their TLB
needs are different, I'm too ignorant of the DAX cases, and couldn't
decide how far to go for anon+swap.  Set that aside.

The second attempt took a different tack: make no change in truncate.c,
but modify zap_huge_pmd() to insert an invalidated huge pmd instead of
clearing it initially, then pmd_clear() between page_remove_rmap() and
unlocking at the end.  Nice.  But powerpc blows that approach out of the
water, with its serialize_against_pte_lookup(), and interesting pgtable
usage.  It would need serious help to get working on powerpc (with a
minor optimization issue on s390 too).  Set that aside.

Just add an "if (page_mapped(page)) synchronize_rcu();" or other such
delay, after unmapping in truncate_cleanup_page()? Perhaps, but though
that's likely to reduce or eliminate the number of incidents, it would
give less assurance of whether we had identified the problem correctly.

This successful iteration introduces "unmap_mapping_page(page)" instead
of try_to_unmap(), and goes the usual unmap_mapping_range_tree() route,
with an addition to details.  Then zap_pmd_range() watches for this
case, and does spin_unlock(pmd_lock) if so - just like
page_vma_mapped_walk() now does in the PVMW_SYNC case.  Not pretty, but
safe.

Note that unmap_mapping_page() is doing a VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked) to
assert its interface; but currently that's only used to make sure that
page->mapping is stable, and zap_pmd_range() doesn't care if the page is
locked or not.  Along these lines, in invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
move the initial unmap_mapping_range() out from under page lock, before
then calling unmap_mapping_page() under page lock if still mapped.

    • I
      mm: fix race by making init_zero_pfn() early_initcall · e720e7d0
      由 Ilya Lipnitskiy 提交于 
      There are code paths that rely on zero_pfn to be fully initialized
before core_initcall.  For example, wq_sysfs_init() is a core_initcall
function that eventually results in a call to kernel_execve, which
causes a page fault with a subsequent mmput.  If zero_pfn is not
initialized by then it may not get cleaned up properly and result in an
error:

  BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:(ptrval) type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1

Here is an analysis of the race as seen on a MIPS device. On this
particular MT7621 device (Ubiquiti ER-X), zero_pfn is PFN 0 until
initialized, at which point it becomes PFN 5120:

  1. wq_sysfs_init calls into kobject_uevent_env at core_initcall:
       kobject_uevent_env+0x7e4/0x7ec
       kset_register+0x68/0x88
       bus_register+0xdc/0x34c
       subsys_virtual_register+0x34/0x78
       wq_sysfs_init+0x1c/0x4c
       do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1a8
       kernel_init_freeable+0x230/0x2c8
       kernel_init+0x10/0x100
       ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c

  2. kobject_uevent_env() calls call_usermodehelper_exec() which executes
     kernel_execve asynchronously.

  3. Memory allocations in kernel_execve cause a page fault, bumping the
     MM reference counter:
       add_mm_counter_fast+0xb4/0xc0
       handle_mm_fault+0x6e4/0xea0
       __get_user_pages.part.78+0x190/0x37c
       __get_user_pages_remote+0x128/0x360
       get_arg_page+0x34/0xa0
       copy_string_kernel+0x194/0x2a4
       kernel_execve+0x11c/0x298
       call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194

  4. In case zero_pfn has not been initialized yet, zap_pte_range does
     not decrement the MM_ANONPAGES RSS counter and the BUG message is
     triggered shortly afterwards when __mmdrop checks the ref counters:
       __mmdrop+0x98/0x1d0
       free_bprm+0x44/0x118
       kernel_execve+0x160/0x1d8
       call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194
       ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c

To avoid races such as described above, initialize init_zero_pfn at
early_initcall level.  Depending on the architecture, ZERO_PAGE is
either constant or gets initialized even earlier, at paging_init, so
there is no issue with initializing zero_pfn earlier.

      mm/userfaultfd: fix memory corruption due to writeprotect · 6ce64428
      由 Nadav Amit 提交于 
      Userfaultfd self-test fails occasionally, indicating a memory corruption.

Analyzing this problem indicates that there is a real bug since mmap_lock
is only taken for read in mwriteprotect_range() and defers flushes, and
since there is insufficient consideration of concurrent deferred TLB
flushes in wp_page_copy().  Although the PTE is flushed from the TLBs in
wp_page_copy(), this flush takes place after the copy has already been
performed, and therefore changes of the page are possible between the time
of the copy and the time in which the PTE is flushed.

To make matters worse, memory-unprotection using userfaultfd also poses a
problem.  Although memory unprotection is logically a promotion of PTE
permissions, and therefore should not require a TLB flush, the current
userrfaultfd code might actually cause a demotion of the architectural PTE
permission: when userfaultfd_writeprotect() unprotects memory region, it
unintentionally *clears* the RW-bit if it was already set.  Note that this
unprotecting a PTE that is not write-protected is a valid use-case: the
userfaultfd monitor might ask to unprotect a region that holds both
write-protected and write-unprotected PTEs.

The scenario that happens in selftests/vm/userfaultfd is as follows:

cpu0				cpu1			cpu2
----				----			----
							[ Writable PTE
							  cached in TLB ]
userfaultfd_writeprotect()
[ write-*unprotect* ]
mwriteprotect_range()
mmap_read_lock()
change_protection()

change_protection_range()
...
change_pte_range()
[ *clear* “write”-bit ]
[ defer TLB flushes ]
				[ page-fault ]
				...
				wp_page_copy()
				 cow_user_page()
				  [ copy page ]
							[ write to old
							  page ]
				...
				 set_pte_at_notify()

A similar scenario can happen:

cpu0		cpu1		cpu2		cpu3
----		----		----		----
						[ Writable PTE
				  		  cached in TLB ]
userfaultfd_writeprotect()
[ write-protect ]
[ deferred TLB flush ]
		userfaultfd_writeprotect()
		[ write-unprotect ]
		[ deferred TLB flush]
				[ page-fault ]
				wp_page_copy()
				 cow_user_page()
				 [ copy page ]
				 ...		[ write to page ]
				set_pte_at_notify()

This race exists since commit 292924b2 ("userfaultfd: wp: apply
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit").  Yet, as Yu Zhao pointed, these races became apparent
since commit 09854ba9 ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification") which made
wp_page_copy() more likely to take place, specifically if page_count(page)
> 1.

To resolve the aforementioned races, check whether there are pending
flushes on uffd-write-protected VMAs, and if there are, perform a flush
before doing the COW.

Further optimizations will follow to avoid during uffd-write-unprotect
unnecassary PTE write-protection and TLB flushes.

      mm: introduce page_needs_cow_for_dma() for deciding whether cow · 97a7e473
      由 Peter Xu 提交于 
      We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked
against whether we should break the cow right now during fork().  It's
easier to provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on
hugetlbfs.

Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too.
Actually it suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is
exported to the whole kernel.  With that we should expect another patch to
use is_cow_mapping() whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it
quite a lot but it's always done with raw code against VM_* flags.

Provide instead a simplified version of follow_pte that does

      Rather than modifying the 'address' field of the 'struct vm_fault'

and pass in the virtual address to be mapped by the new pte as a
separate argument.

This makes FAULT_FLAG_PREFAULT redundant, as a prefault entry can be
identified simply by comparing the new address parameter with the
faulting address, so remove the redundant flag at the same time.

      由 Will Deacon 提交于 
      Commit 5c0a85fa ("mm: make faultaround produce old ptes") changed
the "faultaround" behaviour to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old',
since this avoids vmscan wrongly assuming that they are hot, despite
having never been explicitly accessed by userspace. The change has been
shown to benefit numerous arm64 micro-architectures (with hardware
access flag) running Android, where both application launch latency and
direct reclaim time are significantly reduced (by 10%+ and ~80%
respectively).

Unfortunately, commit 315d09bf ("Revert "mm: make faultaround
produce old ptes"") reverted the change due to it being identified as
the cause of a ~6% regression in unixbench on x86. Experiments on a
variety of recent arm64 micro-architectures indicate that unixbench is
not affected by the original commit, which appears to yield a 0-1%
performance improvement.

Since one size does not fit all for the initial state of prefaulted
PTEs, introduce arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte(), which allows an
architecture to opt-in to 'old' prefaulted PTEs at runtime based on
whatever criteria it may have.

      alloc_set_pte() has two users with different requirements: in the
faultaround code, it called from an atomic context and PTE page table
has to be preallocated. finish_fault() can sleep and allocate page table
as needed.

PTL locking rules are also strange, hard to follow and overkill for
finish_fault().

Let's untangle the mess. alloc_set_pte() has gone now. All locking is
explicit.

The price is some code duplication to handle huge pages in faultaround
path, but it should be fine, having overall improvement in readability.

      mm: Close race in generic_access_phys · 96667f8a
      由 Daniel Vetter 提交于 
      Way back it was a reasonable assumptions that iomem mappings never
change the pfn range they point at. But this has changed:

- gpu drivers dynamically manage their memory nowadays, invalidating
  ptes with unmap_mapping_range when buffers get moved

- contiguous dma allocations have moved from dedicated carvetouts to
  cma regions. This means if we miss the unmap the pfn might contain
  pagecache or anon memory (well anything allocated with GFP_MOVEABLE)

- even /dev/mem now invalidates mappings when the kernel requests that
  iomem region when CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is set, see 3234ac66
  ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the region")

Accessing pfns obtained from ptes without holding all the locks is
therefore no longer a good idea. Fix this.

Since ioremap might need to manipulate pagetables too we need to drop
the pt lock and have a retry loop if we raced.

While at it, also add kerneldoc and improve the comment for the
vma_ops->access function. It's for accessing, not for moving the
memory from iomem to system memory, as the old comment seemed to
suggest.

      mm: generalise COW SMC TLB flushing race comment · 111fe718
      由 Nicholas Piggin 提交于 
      I'm not sure if I'm completely missing something here, but AFAIKS the
reference to the mysterious "COW SMC race" confuses the issue.  The
original changelog and mailing list thread didn't help me either.

This SMC race is where the problem was detected, but isn't the general
problem bigger and more obvious: that the new PTE could be picked up at
any time by any TLB while entries for the old PTE exist in other TLBs
before the TLB flush takes effect?

The case where the iTLB and dTLB of a CPU are pointing at different pages
is an interesting one but follows from the general problem.

The other (minor) thing with the comment I think it makes it a bit clearer
to say what the old code was doing (i.e., it avoids the race as opposed to
what?).
