- Rename vm_is_stack() to task_of_stack() and change it to return
"struct task_struct *" rather than the global (and thus wrong in
general) pid_t.
- Add the new pid_of_stack() helper which calls task_of_stack() and
uses the right namespace to report the correct pid_t.
Unfortunately we need to define this helper twice, in task_mmu.c
and in task_nommu.c. perhaps it makes sense to add fs/proc/util.c
and move at least pid_of_stack/task_of_stack there to avoid the
code duplication.
- Change show_map_vma() and show_numa_map() to use the new helper.

ocfs2/dlm: should put mle when goto kill in dlm_assert_master_handler
The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order
allocations or spills to remote nodes. On SMP that's fine, because
underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0.
But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long,
which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible
until its watermarks are hit.
Commit 3a025760fc ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before
waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use
atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it
didn't go all the way with it.
Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless
of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.

The cgroup iterators yield css objects that have not yet gone through
css_online(), but they are not complete memcgs at this point and so the
memcg iterators should not return them. Commit d8ad305597 ("mm/memcg:
iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") set out to implement
exactly this, but it uses CSS_ONLINE, a cgroup-internal flag that does
not meet the ordering requirements for memcg, and so the iterator may
skip over initialized groups, or return partially initialized memcgs.
The cgroup core can not reasonably provide a clear answer on whether the
object around the css has been fully initialized, as that depends on
controller-specific locking and lifetime rules. Thus, introduce a
memcg-specific flag that is set after the memcg has been initialized in
css_online(), and read before mem_cgroup_iter() callers access the memcg
members.

This patch reverts 1ba6e0b50b ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the
NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due
a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA
hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA.
VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE

split here
In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range()
but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly,
if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before
pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind.
Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch
will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults
will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity
in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the
entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration
entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as
read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write
again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write
migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially
allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by
double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration
completes.

"This is quite late but these need to be backported anyway.
This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from
2009. cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the
task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the
cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be
changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running,
which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task
itself at any time. This obscure bug manifested as corrupt
PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash.
The bug is fixed by moving the flag to task->atomic_flags. The first
two are prepatory ones to help defining atomic_flags accessors and the
third one is the actual fix"

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of
bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser
than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must
ensure that *nbytesp won't grow.
Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting
pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated
"maxsize" to the helper.
The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need
this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

In commit c1221321b7
sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.
Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.
So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:
wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example. Others can be added as needed.

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.
Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.
Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230
To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.
2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.
3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.
If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.
This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.

We need this for KVM, as CONFIG_KVM is a tristate for all supported
architectures except ARM and arm64, and testing a pfn whether it refers
to the zero page is required to correctly distinguish the zero page
from other special RAM ranges that may also have the PG_reserved bit

Sasha Levin has shown oopses on ffffea0003480048 and ffffea0003480008 at
mm/memory.c:1132, running Trinity on different 3.16-rc-next kernels:
where zap_pte_range() checks page->mapping to see if PageAnon(page).
Those addresses fit struct pages for pfns d2001 and d2000, and in each
dump a register or a stack slot showed d2001730 or d2000730: pte flags
0x730 are PCD ACCESSED PROTNONE SPECIAL IOMAP; and Sasha's e820 map has
a hole between cfffffff and 100000000, which would need special access.
Commit c46a7c817e ("x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on
the PMD and PTE levels") has broken vm_normal_page(): a PROTNONE SPECIAL
pte no longer passes the pte_special() test, so zap_pte_range() goes on
to try to access a non-existent struct page.
Fix this by refining pte_special() (SPECIAL with PRESENT or PROTNONE) to
complement pte_numa() (SPECIAL with neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE). A
hint that this was a problem was that c46a7c817e added pte_numa() test
to vm_normal_page(), and moved its is_zero_pfn() test from slow to fast
path: This was papering over a pte_special() snag when the zero page was
encountered during zap. This patch reverts vm_normal_page() to how it
was before, relying on pte_special().
It still appears that this patch may be incomplete: aren't there other
places which need to be handling PROTNONE along with PRESENT? For
example, pte_mknuma() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and sets _PAGE_NUMA, but on a
PROT_NONE area, that would make it pte_special(). This is side-stepped
by the fact that NUMA hinting faults skipped PROT_NONE VMAs and there
are no grounds where a NUMA hinting fault on a PROT_NONE VMA would be
interesting.

In memblock_find_in_range_node(), we defined ret as int. But it should
be phys_addr_t because it is used to store the return value from
__memblock_find_range_bottom_up().
The bug has not been triggered because when allocating low memory near
the kernel end, the "int ret" won't turn out to be negative. When we
started to allocate memory on other nodes, and the "int ret" could be
minus. Then the kernel will panic.
A simple way to reproduce this: comment out the following code in
numa_init(),
memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
and the kernel won't boot.

When pcpu_alloc_pages() fails midway, pcpu_free_pages() is invoked to

whole requested range and pcpu_free_pages() will try to free all
non-NULL pages; unfortunately, this is incorrect as
pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap(), unlike what its comment suggests, doesn't
clear the pages array and thus the array may have entries from the
previous invocations making the partial failure path free incorrect

If we set SEAL_WRITE on a file, we must make sure there cannot be any
ongoing write-operations on the file. For write() calls, we simply lock
the inode mutex, for mmap() we simply verify there're no writable
mappings. However, there might be pages pinned by AIO, Direct-IO and
similar operations via GUP. We must make sure those do not write to the
memfd file after we set SEAL_WRITE.
As there is no way to notify GUP users to drop pages or to wait for them
to be done, we implement the wait ourself: When setting SEAL_WRITE, we
check all pages for their ref-count. If it's bigger than 1, we know
there's some user of the page. We then mark the page and wait for up to
150ms for those ref-counts to be dropped. If the ref-counts are not
dropped in time, we refuse the seal operation.

memfd_create() is similar to mmap(MAP_ANON), but returns a file-descriptor
that you can pass to mmap(). It can support sealing and avoids any
connection to user-visible mount-points. Thus, it's not subject to quotas
on mounted file-systems, but can be used like malloc()'ed memory, but with
a file-descriptor to it.
memfd_create() returns the raw shmem file, so calls like ftruncate() can
be used to modify the underlying inode. Also calls like fstat() will
return proper information and mark the file as regular file. If you want
sealing, you can specify MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. Otherwise, sealing is not
supported (like on all other regular files).
Compared to O_TMPFILE, it does not require a tmpfs mount-point and is not
subject to a filesystem size limit. It is still properly accounted to
memcg limits, though, and to the same overcommit or no-overcommit
accounting as all user memory.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
If two processes share a common memory region, they usually want some
guarantees to allow safe access. This often includes:
- one side cannot overwrite data while the other reads it
- one side cannot shrink the buffer while the other accesses it
- one side cannot grow the buffer beyond previously set boundaries
If there is a trust-relationship between both parties, there is no need
for policy enforcement. However, if there's no trust relationship (eg.,
for general-purpose IPC) sharing memory-regions is highly fragile and
often not possible without local copies. Look at the following two
use-cases:
1) A graphics client wants to share its rendering-buffer with a
graphics-server. The memory-region is allocated by the client for
read/write access and a second FD is passed to the server. While
scanning out from the memory region, the server has no guarantee that
the client doesn't shrink the buffer at any time, requiring rather
cumbersome SIGBUS handling.
2) A process wants to perform an RPC on another process. To avoid huge
bandwidth consumption, zero-copy is preferred. After a message is
assembled in-memory and a FD is passed to the remote side, both sides
want to be sure that neither modifies this shared copy, anymore. The
source may have put sensible data into the message without a separate
copy and the target may want to parse the message inline, to avoid a
local copy.
While SIGBUS handling, POSIX mandatory locking and MAP_DENYWRITE provide
ways to achieve most of this, the first one is unproportionally ugly to
use in libraries and the latter two are broken/racy or even disabled due
to denial of service attacks.
This patch introduces the concept of SEALING. If you seal a file, a
specific set of operations is blocked on that file forever. Unlike locks,
seals can only be set, never removed. Hence, once you verified a specific
set of seals is set, you're guaranteed that no-one can perform the blocked
operations on this file, anymore.
An initial set of SEALS is introduced by this patch:
- SHRINK: If SEAL_SHRINK is set, the file in question cannot be reduced
in size. This affects ftruncate() and open(O_TRUNC).
- GROW: If SEAL_GROW is set, the file in question cannot be increased
in size. This affects ftruncate(), fallocate() and write().
- WRITE: If SEAL_WRITE is set, no write operations (besides resizing)
are possible. This affects fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE), mmap() and
write().
- SEAL: If SEAL_SEAL is set, no further seals can be added to a file.
This basically prevents the F_ADD_SEAL operation on a file and
can be set to prevent others from adding further seals that you
don't want.
The described use-cases can easily use these seals to provide safe use
without any trust-relationship:
1) The graphics server can verify that a passed file-descriptor has
SEAL_SHRINK set. This allows safe scanout, while the client is
allowed to increase buffer size for window-resizing on-the-fly.
Concurrent writes are explicitly allowed.
2) For general-purpose IPC, both processes can verify that SEAL_SHRINK,
SEAL_GROW and SEAL_WRITE are set. This guarantees that neither
process can modify the data while the other side parses it.
Furthermore, it guarantees that even with writable FDs passed to the
peer, it cannot increase the size to hit memory-limits of the source
process (in case the file-storage is accounted to the source).
The new API is an extension to fcntl(), adding two new commands:
F_GET_SEALS: Return a bitset describing the seals on the file. This
can be called on any FD if the underlying file supports
sealing.
F_ADD_SEALS: Change the seals of a given file. This requires WRITE
access to the file and F_SEAL_SEAL may not already be set.
Furthermore, the underlying file must support sealing and
there may not be any existing shared mapping of that file.
Otherwise, EBADF/EPERM is returned.
The given seals are _added_ to the existing set of seals
on the file. You cannot remove seals again.
The fcntl() handler is currently specific to shmem and disabled on all
files. A file needs to explicitly support sealing for this interface to
work. A separate syscall is added in a follow-up, which creates files that
support sealing. There is no intention to support this on other
file-systems. Semantics are unclear for non-volatile files and we lack any
use-case right now. Therefore, the implementation is specific to shmem.

this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative.
This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE.
This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any
new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set. In case there
exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY.
Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping,
you can increase the counter without using the helpers. This is the same
that we do for i_writecount.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Charge migration currently disables IRQs twice to update the charge
statistics for the old page and then again for the new page.
But migration is a seamless transition of a charge from one physical
page to another one of the same size, so this should be a non-event from
an accounting point of view. Leave the statistics alone.
