<id>urn:sha1:da0fccd842cdd4d15cc620241145e0648bfdd753</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0708a0afe291bdfe1386d74d5ec1f0c27e8b9168 upstream.

syzkaller was recently triggering an oversized kvmalloc() warning via
xdp_umem_create().

The triggered warning was added back in 7661809d493b ("mm: don't allow
oversized kvmalloc() calls"). The rationale for the warning for huge
kvmalloc sizes was as a reaction to a security bug where the size was
more than UINT_MAX but not everything was prepared to handle unsigned
long sizes.

Anyway, the AF_XDP related call trace from this syzkaller report was:

  kvmalloc include/linux/mm.h:806 [inline]
  kvmalloc_array include/linux/mm.h:824 [inline]
  kvcalloc include/linux/mm.h:829 [inline]

Björn mentioned that requests for &gt;2GB allocation can still be valid:

  The structure that is being allocated is the page-pinning accounting.
  AF_XDP has an internal limit of U32_MAX pages, which is *a lot*, but
  still fewer than what memcg allows (PAGE_COUNTER_MAX is a LONG_MAX/
  PAGE_SIZE on 64 bit systems). [...]

  I could just change from U32_MAX to INT_MAX, but as I stated earlier
  that has a hacky feeling to it. [...] From my perspective, the code
  isn't broken, with the memcg limits in consideration. [...]

Linus says:

  [...] Pretty much every time this has come up, the kernel warning has
  shown that yes, the code was broken and there really wasn't a reason
  for doing allocations that big.

  Of course, some people would be perfectly fine with the allocation
  failing, they just don't want the warning. I didn't want __GFP_NOWARN
  to shut it up originally because I wanted people to see all those
  cases, but these days I think we can just say "yeah, people can shut
  it up explicitly by saying 'go ahead and fail this allocation, don't
  warn about it'".

  So enough time has passed that by now I'd certainly be ok with [it].

Thus allow call-sites to silence such userspace triggered splats if the
allocation requests have __GFP_NOWARN. For xdp_umem_pin_pages()'s call
to kvcalloc() this is already the case, so nothing else needed there.

Also convert copy_huge_page() to folio_copy().

This is a default implementation which calls flush_dcache_page() on
each page in the folio.  If architectures can do better, they should
implement their own version of it.

Convert __page_rmapping to folio_raw_mapping and move it to mm/internal.h.
It's only a couple of instructions (load and mask), so it's definitely
going to be cheaper to inline it than call it.  Leave page_rmapping
out of line.  Change page_anon_vma() to not call folio_raw_mapping() --
it's more efficient to do the subtraction than the mask.

This function is the equivalent of page_mapped().  It is slightly
shorter as we do not need to handle the PageTail() case.  Reimplement
page_mapped() as a wrapper around folio_mapped().  folio_mapped()
is 13 bytes smaller than page_mapped(), but the page_mapped() wrapper
is 30 bytes, for a net increase of 17 bytes of text.

<content type='text'>
These are the folio equivalent of page_mapping() and page_file_mapping().
Add an out-of-line page_mapping() wrapper around folio_mapping()
in order to prevent the page_folio() call from bloating every caller
of page_mapping().  Adjust page_file_mapping() and page_mapping_file()
to use folios internally.  Rename __page_file_mapping() to
swapcache_mapping() and change it to take a folio.

This ends up saving 122 bytes of text overall.  folio_mapping() is
45 bytes shorter than page_mapping() was, but the new page_mapping()
wrapper is 30 bytes.  The major reduction is a few bytes less in dozens
of nfs functions (which call page_file_mapping()).  Most of these appear
to be a slight change in gcc's register allocation decisions, which allow:

   48 8b 56 08         mov    0x8(%rsi),%rdx
   48 8d 42 ff         lea    -0x1(%rdx),%rax
   83 e2 01            and    $0x1,%edx
   48 0f 44 c6         cmove  %rsi,%rax

to become:

   48 8b 46 08         mov    0x8(%rsi),%rax
   48 8d 78 ff         lea    -0x1(%rax),%rdi
   a8 01               test   $0x1,%al
   48 0f 44 fe         cmove  %rsi,%rdi

for a reduction of a single byte.  Once the NFS client is converted to
use folios, this entire sequence will disappear.

Also add folio_mapping() documentation.

We get an unexpected value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory after
running the following program:

  int main()
  {
      int fd = open("/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory", O_RDWR);
      write(fd, "1", 1);
      write(fd, "2", 1);
      close(fd);
  }

write(fd, "2", 1) will pass *ppos = 1 to proc_dointvec_minmax.
proc_dointvec_minmax will return 0 without setting new_policy.

  t.data = &amp;new_policy;
  ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(&amp;t, write, buffer, lenp, ppos)
      --&gt;do_proc_dointvec
         --&gt;__do_proc_dointvec
              if (write) {
                if (proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore(ppos, table))
                  goto out;

  sysctl_overcommit_memory = new_policy;

so sysctl_overcommit_memory will be set to an uninitialized value.

Check whether new_policy has been changed by proc_dointvec_minmax.

'kvmalloc()' is a convenience function for people who want to do a
kmalloc() but fall back on vmalloc() if there aren't enough physically
contiguous pages, or if the allocation is larger than what kmalloc()
supports.

However, let's make sure it doesn't get _too_ easy to do crazy things
with it.  In particular, don't allow big allocations that could be due
to integer overflow or underflow.  So make sure the allocation size fits
in an 'int', to protect against trivial integer conversion issues.

Essentially, we are taking a multi-order allocation from kmem_alloc()
(which has an open coded no fail, no warn loop) and then
reallocating it out to 64kB using krealloc(__GFP_NOFAIL) and that is
then triggering the above warning.

This is a regression caused by converting this code from an open
coded no fail/no warn reallocation loop to using __GFP_NOFAIL.

What we actually need here is kvrealloc(), so that if contiguous
page allocation fails we fall back to vmalloc() and we don't
get nasty warnings happening in XFS.
