commit ba9c1201beaa86a773e83be5654602a0667e4a4d upstream.

Commit 1378a5ee451a ("mm: store compound_nr as well as compound_order")
added compound_nr counter to first tail struct page, overlaying with
page-&gt;mapping.  The overlay itself is fine, but while freeing gigantic
hugepages via free_contig_range(), a "bad page" check will trigger for
non-NULL page-&gt;mapping on the first tail page:

This is because only the compound_order is cleared in
destroy_compound_gigantic_page(), and compound_nr is set to
1U &lt;&lt; order == 1 for order 0 in set_compound_order(page, 0).

Fix this by explicitly clearing compound_nr for first tail page after
calling set_compound_order(page, 0).

[ Upstream commit 309d08d9b3a3659ab3f239d27d4e38b670b08fc9 ]

On success, mmap should return the begin address of newly mapped area,
but patch "mm: mmap: merge vma after call_mmap() if possible" set
vm_start of newly merged vma to return value addr.  Users of mmap will
get wrong address if vma is merged after call_mmap().  We fix this by
moving the assignment to addr before merging vma.

We have a driver which changes vm_flags, and this bug is found by our
testcases.

commit e91d8d78237de8d7120c320b3645b7100848f24d upstream.

While I was doing zram testing, I found sometimes decompression failed
since the compression buffer was corrupted.  With investigation, I found
below commit calls cond_resched unconditionally so it could make a
problem in atomic context if the task is reschedule.

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/vmalloc.c:108

We can fix this by removing the ZSMALLOC_PGTABLE_MAPPING feature (which
contains the offending calling code) from zsmalloc.

Even though this option showed some amount improvement(e.g., 30%) in
some arm32 platforms, it has been headache to maintain since it have
abused APIs[1](e.g., unmap_kernel_range in atomic context).

Since we are approaching to deprecate 32bit machines and already made
the config option available for only builtin build since v5.8, lastly it
has been not default option in zsmalloc, it's time to drop the option
for better maintenance.

commit becaba65f62f88e553ec92ed98370e9d2b18e629 upstream.

Commit 10befea91b61 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches
for all allocations") introduced a regression into the handling of the
obj_cgroup_charge() return value.  If a non-zero value is returned
(indicating of exceeding one of memory.max limits), the allocation
should fail, instead of falling back to non-accounted mode.

To make the code more readable, move memcg_slab_pre_alloc_hook() and
memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() calling conditions into bodies of these
hooks.

<title>hugetlb_cgroup: fix offline of hugetlb cgroup with reservations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e3861ec49e9e0627fc8b82f2fc3dfa16912e768f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7a5bde37983d37783161681ff7c6122dfd081791 upstream.

Adrian Moreno was ruuning a kubernetes 1.19 + containerd/docker workload
using hugetlbfs.  In this environment the issue is reproduced by:

 - Start a simple pod that uses the recently added HugePages medium
   feature (pod yaml attached)

 - Start a DPDK app. It doesn't need to run successfully (as in transfer
   packets) nor interact with real hardware. It seems just initializing
   the EAL layer (which handles hugepage reservation and locking) is
   enough to trigger the issue

 - Delete the Pod (or let it "Complete").

This would result in a kworker thread going into a tight loop (top output):

   1425 root      20   0       0      0      0 R  99.7   0.0   5:22.45 kworker/28:7+cgroup_destroy

'perf top -g' reports:

  -   63.28%     0.01%  [kernel]                    [k] worker_thread
     - 49.97% worker_thread
        - 52.64% process_one_work
           - 62.08% css_killed_work_fn
              - hugetlb_cgroup_css_offline
                   41.52% _raw_spin_lock
                 - 2.82% _cond_resched
                      rcu_all_qs
                   2.66% PageHuge
        - 0.57% schedule
           - 0.57% __schedule

We are spinning in the do-while loop in hugetlb_cgroup_css_offline.
Worse yet, we are holding the master cgroup lock (cgroup_mutex) while
infinitely spinning.  Little else can be done on the system as the
cgroup_mutex can not be acquired.

Do note that the issue can be reproduced by simply offlining a hugetlb
cgroup containing pages with reservation counts.

The loop in hugetlb_cgroup_css_offline is moving page counts from the
cgroup being offlined to the parent cgroup.  This is done for each
hstate, and is repeated until hugetlb_cgroup_have_usage returns false.
The routine moving counts (hugetlb_cgroup_move_parent) is only moving
'usage' counts.  The routine hugetlb_cgroup_have_usage is checking for
both 'usage' and 'reservation' counts.  Discussion about what to do with
reservation counts when reparenting was discussed here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/CAHS8izMFAYTgxym-Hzb_JmkTK1N_S9tGN71uS6MFV+R7swYu5A@mail.gmail.com/

The decision was made to leave a zombie cgroup for with reservation
counts.  Unfortunately, the code checking reservation counts was
incorrectly added to hugetlb_cgroup_have_usage.

To fix the issue, simply remove the check for reservation counts.  While
fixing this issue, a related bug in hugetlb_cgroup_css_offline was
noticed.  The hstate index is not reinitialized each time through the
do-while loop.  Fix this as well.

<id>urn:sha1:c07e0a85d52076a485e3ee6e485db3f1863dfd5b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8199be001a470209f5c938570cc199abb012fe53 upstream.

When investigating a slab cache bloat problem, significant amount of
negative dentry cache was seen, but confusingly they neither got shrunk
by reclaimer (the host has very tight memory) nor be shrunk by dropping
cache.  The vmcore shows there are over 14M negative dentry objects on
lru, but tracing result shows they were even not scanned at all.

Further investigation shows the memcg's vfs shrinker_map bit is not set.
So the reclaimer or dropping cache just skip calling vfs shrinker.  So
we have to reboot the hosts to get the memory back.

I didn't manage to come up with a reproducer in test environment, and
the problem can't be reproduced after rebooting.  But it seems there is
race between shrinker map bit clear and reparenting by code inspection.
The hypothesis is elaborated as below.

The memcg hierarchy on our production environment looks like:

                root
               /    \
          system   user

The main workloads are running under user slice's children, and it
creates and removes memcg frequently.  So reparenting happens very often
under user slice, but no task is under user slice directly.

So with the frequent reparenting and tight memory pressure, the below
hypothetical race condition may happen:

       CPU A                            CPU B
reparent
    dst-&gt;nr_items == 0
                                 shrinker:
                                     total_objects == 0
    add src-&gt;nr_items to dst
    set_bit
                                     return SHRINK_EMPTY
                                     clear_bit
child memcg offline
    replace child's kmemcg_id with
    parent's (in memcg_offline_kmem())
                                  list_lru_del() between shrinker runs
                                     see parent's kmemcg_id
                                     dec dst-&gt;nr_items
reparent again
    dst-&gt;nr_items may go negative
    due to concurrent list_lru_del()

                                 The second run of shrinker:
                                     read nr_items without any
                                     synchronization, so it may
                                     see intermediate negative
                                     nr_items then total_objects
                                     may return 0 coincidently

                                     keep the bit cleared
    dst-&gt;nr_items != 0
    skip set_bit
    add scr-&gt;nr_item to dst

After this point dst-&gt;nr_item may never go zero, so reparenting will not
set shrinker_map bit anymore.  And since there is no task under user
slice directly, so no new object will be added to its lru to set the
shrinker map bit either.  That bit is kept cleared forever.

How does list_lru_del() race with reparenting? It is because reparenting
replaces children's kmemcg_id to parent's without protecting from
nlru-&gt;lock, so list_lru_del() may see parent's kmemcg_id but actually
deleting items from child's lru, but dec'ing parent's nr_items, so the
parent's nr_items may go negative as commit 2788cf0c401c ("memcg:
reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline") says.

Since it is impossible that dst-&gt;nr_items goes negative and
src-&gt;nr_items goes zero at the same time, so it seems we could set the
shrinker map bit iff src-&gt;nr_items != 0.  We could synchronize
list_lru_count_one() and reparenting with nlru-&gt;lock, but it seems
checking src-&gt;nr_items in reparenting is the simplest and avoids lock
contention.

commit 073861ed77b6b957c3c8d54a11dc503f7d986ceb upstream.

Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed
on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling
end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page,
no longer an ext4 page at all.

The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference
(as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as
soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed
from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that
wake_up_page() is reached.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/
Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail
check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page,
lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and
wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()).

Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against
that approach.  If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check,
when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much
more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching
wake_up_page()?  And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be
marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon?  What
would that look like?

It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback()
in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself).

Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself:
 "page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts,

  --- thread A ---
  filesystem calls end_page_writeback()
        test_clear_page_writeback()
  --- context switch to thread B ---
  truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set,
  we delete it from the page cache.  Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback
  starts again.  Then we call write_cache_pages(), see
  PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback()
  --- context switch back to thread A ---
  wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
  ... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of
  the page, PageWriteback is still set.

  Devious"

And prior to 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic")
this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s
non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback
already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake.

I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the
simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling
test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page().

Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before
reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared?  I think not,
because each waiter does hold a reference on the page.  This bug comes
when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on,
had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache
(and whoever racily freed it).  The reuse of the page has a waiter
holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated
wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

<title>mm/userfaultfd: do not access vma-&gt;vm_mm after calling handle_userfault()</title>

commit bfe8cc1db02ab243c62780f17fc57f65bde0afe1 upstream.

Alexander reported a syzkaller / KASAN finding on s390, see below for
complete output.

In do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), the pre-allocated pagetable will be
freed in some cases.  In the case of userfaultfd_missing(), this will
happen after calling handle_userfault(), which might have released the
mmap_lock.  Therefore, the following pte_free(vma-&gt;vm_mm, pgtable) will
access an unstable vma-&gt;vm_mm, which could have been freed or re-used
already.

For all architectures other than s390 this will go w/o any negative
impact, because pte_free() simply frees the page and ignores the
passed-in mm.  The implementation for SPARC32 would also access
mm-&gt;page_table_lock for pte_free(), but there is no THP support in
SPARC32, so the buggy code path will not be used there.

For s390, the mm-&gt;context.pgtable_list is being used to maintain the 2K
pagetable fragments, and operating on an already freed or even re-used
mm could result in various more or less subtle bugs due to list /
pagetable corruption.

Fix this by calling pte_free() before handle_userfault(), similar to how
it is already done in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() for the WRITE /
non-huge_zero_page case.

Commit 6b251fc96cf2c ("userfaultfd: call handle_userfault() for
userfaultfd_missing() faults") actually introduced both, the
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() and also __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page()
changes wrt to calling handle_userfault(), but only in the latter case
it put the pte_free() before calling handle_userfault().

commit 8faeb1ffd79593c9cd8a2a80ecdda371e3b826cb upstream.

If we reparent the slab objects to the root memcg, when we free the slab
object, we need to update the per-memcg vmstats to keep it correct for
the root memcg.  Now this at least affects the vmstat of
NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB for !CONFIG_VMAP_STACK when the thread stack size is
smaller than the PAGE_SIZE.

David said:
 "I assume that without this fix that the root memcg's vmstat would
  always be inflated if we reparented"
