<content type='text'>
secretmem accounts folios by treating memory as if it were mlock()'d and
thus limited by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit.

However the folios are unevictable and remain so until the inode is
evicted, eliminating usual mlock() semantics - mapping folios then
unmapping them does not clear their unevictable state, since it depends on
AS_UNEVICTABLE, not PG_mlocked.

A user can therefore easily work around the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit - simply
map then unmap and VmLck no longer counts the secretmem range.  Worse,
folios are not accounted in the process's RSS, meaning the OOM killer
won't know to kill the process.

Repeatedly mapping/unmapping (or forking) can then result in the
consumption of all available system memory with unevictable folios and
cause system instability.

A secretmem fd can be passed between processes and over fork so a
per-process limit simply does not make sense, so follow the precedent set
by io_uring, perf, skbuff, iommufd and xdp by tracking the number of
locked pages in user_struct-&gt;locked_vm.

Since the scope tracked is actually inode lifetime, the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
applies per-user not per-process, so it doesn't make sense to bypass for
users with CAP_IPC_LOCK, therefore remove this bypass.

There is simply no reason to carry on marking the mapping as mlock()'d
since it's misleading and the lifecycle is now correctly handled, so
remove this too.

Note that secretmem does not support any form of truncation (including
hole punching) and the folios are unreclaimable, so the folios need only
be accounted on fault and unaccounted on inode destruction.

__secretmem_account_pages() is more or less a duplicate of the code that
io_uring etc.  use, but since this is a bug fix that needs backporting,
defer any de-duplication efforts to a follow-up.

test_mlock_limit() asserts mlock_future_ok() on mmap(), however this has
been removed, so remove the test altogether for the fix.  A new test will
be sent separately for upstream.

secretmem_fault() allocates a folio with GFP_HIGHUSER and then calls
set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() without checking folio_test_highmem(). 
This causes a warning and process crash (vibe-coded reproducer in Link

The equivalent bug was pointed out by a local Sashiko instance on
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260410151746.61150-3-kalyazin@amazon.com/

This hasn't been reproduced it on older kernel versions but from code
inspection the bug seems to go back to the original introduction in commit
1507f51255c9f ("mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret"
memory areas").  If this configuration has always been broken, there's no
need to worry too much about feature regression here.

Nonetheless, instead of just completely disabling secretmem under
!HIGHMEM, just drop __GFP_HIGHMEM.  This means that now where you
previously got a crash, instead you'll just see the secretmem process OOM.

Could secretmem just support highmem by saying "this isn't in the direct
map anyway" and bailing out before the set_direct_map_invalid_noflush()? 
Maybe.  That depends on requirements that are not well-defined (e.g.  is
it OK that kmap_local_page() is not a NOP for those pages?), and would
require some research and deep thinking.  Let's "defer" that until an
actual usecase arises.

<title>mm: rename VMA flag helpers to be more readable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e650bb30ca532901da6def04c7d1de72ae59ea4e</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".

The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has
introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier
when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use
of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.

This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to
improve consistency and readability.

Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to
make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags
are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).

It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same
reason.  Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as
vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag
test.

Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for
consistency.

Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now
testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) &amp;&amp;
vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).

This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these
callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT,
VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).

We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and
vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.

Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item
reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.

So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.

The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse
to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to
misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.

The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to
explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be
consistent with other VMA flag helpers.

It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only
used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.

Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces
explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that
they behave as expected.


This patch (of 6):

On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is
set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags()
separately test whether all flags are set.

Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this
confusion.

Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather
cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also
rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().

Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the
VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention
and to help avoid confusion vs.  vma_flags_test_all().

While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper
functions.

<content type='text'>
This patch updates secretmem to use the new vma_flags_t type which will
soon supersede vm_flags_t altogether.

In order to make this change we also have to update mlock_future_ok(), we
replace the vm_flags_t parameter with a simple boolean is_vma_locked one,
which also simplifies the invocation here.

This is laying the groundwork for eliminating the vm_flags_t in
vm_area_desc and more broadly throughout the kernel.

No functional changes intended.

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd &lt; 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file-&gt;file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file-&gt;file);
          return fdf.err;
      }

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &amp;data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

It's useful to be able to determine the size of a VMA descriptor range
used on f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare, expressed both in bytes and pages, so add
helpers for both and update code that could make use of it to do so.
