CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is now the only available memory model on arm64 platforms and free_unused_memmap() would just return without creating any holes in the memmap mapping. There is no need for any special handling in pfn_valid() and HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID can just be dropped. This also moves the pfn upper bits sanity check into generic pfn_valid().

The arm64's version of pfn_valid() differs from the generic because of two reasons: * Parts of the memory map are freed during boot. This makes it necessary to verify that there is actual physical memory that corresponds to a pfn which is done by querying memblock. * There are NOMAP memory regions. These regions are not mapped in the linear map and until the previous commit the struct pages representing these areas had default values. As the consequence of absence of the special treatment of NOMAP regions in the memory map it was necessary to use memblock_is_map_memory() in pfn_valid() and to have pfn_valid_within() aliased to pfn_valid() so that generic mm functionality would not treat a NOMAP page as a normal page. Since the NOMAP regions are now marked as PageReserved(), pfn walkers and the rest of core mm will treat them as unusable memory and thus pfn_valid_within() is no longer required at all and can be disabled on arm64. pfn_valid() can be slightly simplified by replacing memblock_is_map_memory() with memblock_is_memory().

The intended semantics of pfn_valid() is to verify whether there is a struct page for the pfn in question and nothing else. Yet, on arm64 it is used to distinguish memory areas that are mapped in the linear map vs those that require ioremap() to access them. Introduce a dedicated pfn_is_map_memory() wrapper for memblock_is_map_memory() to perform such check and use it where appropriate. Using a wrapper allows to avoid cyclic include dependencies. While here also update style of pfn_valid() so that both pfn_valid() and pfn_is_map_memory() declarations will be consistent.

The struct pages representing a reserved memory region are initialized using reserve_bootmem_range() function. This function is called for each reserved region just before the memory is freed from memblock to the buddy page allocator. The struct pages for MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions are kept with the default values set by the memory map initialization which makes it necessary to have a special treatment for such pages in pfn_valid() and pfn_valid_within(). Split out initialization of the reserved pages to a function with a meaningful name and treat the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions the same way as the reserved regions and mark struct pages for the NOMAP regions as PageReserved.

Patch series "arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()", v4. These patches aim to remove CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE and essentially hardwire pfn_valid_within() to 1. The idea is to mark NOMAP pages as reserved in the memory map and restore the intended semantics of pfn_valid() to designate availability of struct page for a pfn. With this the core mm will be able to cope with the fact that it cannot use NOMAP pages and the holes created by NOMAP ranges within MAX_ORDER blocks will be treated correctly even without the need for pfn_valid_within. This patch (of 4): Add comment describing the semantics of pfn_valid() that clarifies that pfn_valid() only checks for availability of a memory map entry (i.e. struct page) for a PFN rather than availability of usable memory backing that PFN. The most "generic" version of pfn_valid() used by the configurations with SPARSEMEM enabled resides in include/linux/mmzone.h so this is the most suitable place for documentation about semantics of pfn_valid().

Current structure 'mempolicy' uses a union to store the node info for bind/interleave/perfer policies. union { short preferred_node; /* preferred */ nodemask_t nodes; /* interleave/bind */ /* undefined for default */ } v; Since preferred node can also be represented by a nodemask_t with only ont bit set, unify these policies with using one nodemask_t 'nodes', which can remove a union, simplify the code and make it easier to support future's new policy's node info.

When trying to migrate pages to obey mempolicy, the huge zero page is split by inserting base zero pfn to all PTEs, then the page table walk fallback to PTE level and just skips zero page. Skipping zero page for mempolicy has been the behavior of kernel since v2.6.16 due to commit f4598c8b ("[PATCH] migration: make sure there is no attempt to migrate reserved pages."). So it seems pointless to split huge zero page, it could be just skipped like base zero page. Set ACTION_CONTINUE to prevent the walk_page_range() split the pmd for this case.

MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still handled like a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit set, and there are many places having to judge the real 'prefer' or the 'local' policy, which are quite confusing. In current code, there are 4 cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used: 1. user specifies 'local' policy 2. user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask 3. system 'default' policy is used 4. 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't contains the 'preferred' node, it will perform as 'local' policy So make 'local' a real policy instead of a fake 'prefer' one, and kill MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which can greatly reduce the confusion for code reading. For case 4, the logic of mpol_rebind_preferred() is confusing, as Michal Hocko pointed out: : I do believe that rebinding preferred policy is just bogus and it should : be dropped altogether on the ground that a preference is a mere hint from : userspace where to start the allocation. Unless I am missing something : cpusets will be always authoritative for the final placement. The : preferred node just acts as a starting point and it should be really : preserved when cpusets changes. Otherwise we have a very subtle behavior : corner cases. So dump all the tricky transformation between 'prefer' and 'local', and just record the new nodemask of rebinding.

Patch series "mm/mempolicy: some fix and semantics cleanup", v4. Current memory policy code has some confusing and ambiguous part about MPOL_LOCAL policy, as it is handled as a faked MPOL_PREFERRED one, and there are many places having to distinguish them. Also the nodemask intersection check needs cleanup to be more explicit for OOM use, and handle MPOL_INTERLEAVE correctly. This patchset cleans up these and unifies the parameter sanity check for mbind() and set_mempolicy(). This patch (of 3): mempolicy_nodemask_intersects seem to be a general purpose mempolicy function. In fact it is partially tailored for the OOM purpose instead. The oom proper is the only existing user so rename the function to make that purpose explicit. While at it drop the MPOL_INTERLEAVE as those allocations never has a nodemask defined (see alloc_page_interleave) so this is a dead code and a confusing one because MPOL_INTERLEAVE is a hint rather than a hard requirement so it shouldn't be considered during the OOM. The final code can be reduced to a check for MPOL_BIND which is the only memory policy that is a hard requirement and thus relevant to a constrained OOM logic.

Let's properly use page_offline_(start|end) to synchronize setting PageOffline(), so we won't have valid page access to unplugged memory regions from /proc/kcore. Existing balloon implementations usually allow reading inflated memory; doing so might result in unnecessary overhead in the hypervisor, which is currently the case with virtio-mem. For future virtio-mem use cases, it will be different when using shmem, huge pages, !anonymous private mappings, ... as backing storage for a VM. virtio-mem unplugged memory must no longer be accessed and access might result in undefined behavior. There will be a virtio spec extension to document this change, including a new feature flag indicating the changed behavior.

A driver might set a page logically offline -- PageOffline() -- and turn the page inaccessible in the hypervisor; after that, access to page content can be fatal. One example is virtio-mem; while unplugged memory -- marked as PageOffline() can currently be read in the hypervisor, this will no longer be the case in the future; for example, when having a virtio-mem device backed by huge pages in the hypervisor. Some special PFN walkers -- i.e., /proc/kcore -- read content of random pages after checking PageOffline(); however, these PFN walkers can race with drivers that set PageOffline(). Let's introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) for synchronizing. page_offline_freeze()/page_offline_thaw() allows for a subsystem to synchronize with such drivers, achieving that a page cannot be set PageOffline() while frozen. page_offline_begin()/page_offline_end() is used by drivers that care about such races when setting a page PageOffline(). For simplicity, use a rwsem for now; neither drivers nor users are performance sensitive. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210526093041.8800-5-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Let's avoid reading: 1) Offline memory sections: the content of offline memory sections is stale as the memory is effectively unused by the kernel. On s390x with standby memory, offline memory sections (belonging to offline storage increments) are not accessible. With virtio-mem and the hyper-v balloon, we can have unavailable memory chunks that should not be accessed inside offline memory sections. Last but not least, offline memory sections might contain hwpoisoned pages which we can no longer identify because the memmap is stale. 2) PG_offline pages: logically offline pages that are documented as "The content of these pages is effectively stale. Such pages should not be touched (read/write/dump/save) except by their owner.". Examples include pages inflated in a balloon or unavailble memory ranges inside hotplugged memory sections with virtio-mem or the hyper-v balloon. 3) PG_hwpoison pages: Reading pages marked as hwpoisoned can be fatal. As documented: "Accessing is not safe since it may cause another machine check. Don't touch!" Introduce is_page_hwpoison(), adding a comment that it is inherently racy but best we can really do. Reading /proc/kcore now performs similar checks as when reading /proc/vmcore for kdump via makedumpfile: problematic pages are exclude. It's also similar to hibernation code, however, we don't skip hwpoisoned pages when processing pages in kernel/power/snapshot.c:saveable_page() yet. Note 1: we can race against memory offlining code, especially memory going offline and getting unplugged: however, we will properly tear down the identity mapping and handle faults gracefully when accessing this memory from kcore code. Note 2: we can race against drivers setting PageOffline() and turning memory inaccessible in the hypervisor. We'll handle this in a follow-up patch.

Patch series "fs/proc/kcore: don't read offline sections, logically offline pages and hwpoisoned pages", v3. Looking for places where the kernel might unconditionally read PageOffline() pages, I stumbled over /proc/kcore; turns out /proc/kcore needs some more love to not touch some other pages we really don't want to read -- i.e., hwpoisoned ones. Examples for PageOffline() pages are pages inflated in a balloon, memory unplugged via virtio-mem, and partially-present sections in memory added by the Hyper-V balloon. When reading pages inflated in a balloon, we essentially produce unnecessary load in the hypervisor; holes in partially present sections in case of Hyper-V are not accessible and already were a problem for /proc/vmcore, fixed in makedumpfile by detecting PageOffline() pages. In the future, virtio-mem might disallow reading unplugged memory -- marked as PageOffline() -- in some environments, resulting in undefined behavior when accessed; therefore, I'm trying to identify and rework all these (corner) cases. With this series, there is really only access via /dev/mem, /proc/vmcore and kdb left after I ripped out /dev/kmem. kdb is an advanced corner-case use case -- we won't care for now if someone explicitly tries to do nasty things by reading from/writing to physical addresses we better not touch. /dev/mem is a use case we won't support for virtio-mem, at least for now, so we'll simply disallow mapping any virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem next. /proc/vmcore is really only a problem when dumping the old kernel via something that's not makedumpfile (read: basically never), however, we'll try sanitizing that as well in the second kernel in the future. Tested via kcore_dump: https://github.com/schlafwandler/kcore_dump This patch (of 6): Commit db779ef6 ("proc/kcore: Remove unused kclist_add_remap()") removed the last user of KCORE_REMAP. Commit 595dd46e ("vfs/proc/kcore, x86/mm/kcore: Fix SMAP fault when dumping vsyscall user page") removed the last user of KCORE_OTHER. Let's drop both types. While at it, also drop vaddr in "struct kcore_list", used by KCORE_REMAP only.

Theoretically without the protect from memalloc_noreclaim_save() and memalloc_noreclaim_restore(), reclaim_pages() can go into the block I/O layer recursively and deadlock. Querying 'reclaim_pages' in our kernel crash databases didn't yield any results. So the deadlock seems unlikely to happen. A possible explanation is that the only user of reclaim_pages(), i.e., MADV_PAGEOUT, is usually called before memory pressure builds up, e.g., on Android and Chrome OS. Under such a condition, allocations in the block I/O layer can be fulfilled without diverting to direct reclaim and therefore the recursion is avoided.

Currently, the context (fds, mmap-ed areas, etc.) are global. Each test mutates this state in some way, in some cases really "clobbering it" (e.g., the events test mremap-ing area_dst over the top of area_src, or the minor faults tests overwriting the count_verify values in the test areas). We run the tests in a particular order, each test is careful to make the right assumptions about its starting state, etc. But, this is fragile. It's better for a test's success or failure to not depend on what some other prior test case did to the global state. To that end, clear and reinitialize the test context at the start of each test case, so whatever prior test cases did doesn't affect future tests. This is particularly relevant to this series because the events test's mremap of area_dst screws up assumptions the minor fault test was relying on. This wasn't a problem for hugetlb, as we don't mremap in that case.

Previously, we just allocated two shm areas: area_src and area_dst. With this commit, change this so we also allocate area_src_alias, and area_dst_alias. area_*_alias and area_* (respectively) point to the same underlying physical pages, but are different VMAs. In a future commit in this series, we'll leverage this setup to exercise minor fault handling support for shmem, just like we do in the hugetlb_shared test.

This is a preparatory commit. In the future, we want to be able to setup alias mappings for area_src and area_dst in the shmem test, like we do in the hugetlb_shared test. With a VMA obtained via mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED), it isn't clear how to do this. So, mmap() with an fd, so we can create alias mappings. Use memfd_create instead of actually passing in a tmpfs path like hugetlb does, since it's more convenient / simpler to run, and works just as well. Future commits will: 1. Setup the alias mappings. 2. Extend our tests to actually take advantage of this, to test new userfaultfd behavior being introduced in this series. Also, a small fix in the area we're changing: when the hugetlb setup fails in main(), pass in the right argv[] so we actually print out the hugetlb file path.

In a previous commit, we added the mfill_atomic_install_pte() helper. This helper does the job of setting up PTEs for an existing page, to map it into a given VMA. It deals with both the anon and shmem cases, as well as the shared and private cases. In other words, shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() duplicates a case it already handles. So, expose it, and let shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() use it directly, to reduce code duplication. This requires that we refactor shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() a bit: Instead of doing accounting (shmem_recalc_inode() et al) part-way through the PTE setup, do it afterward. This frees up mfill_atomic_install_pte() from having to care about this accounting, and means we don't need to e.g. shmem_uncharge() in the error path. A side effect is this switches shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() to use lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() instead of just lru_cache_add(). This wrapper does some extra accounting in an exceptional case, if appropriate, so it's actually the more correct thing to use.

With this change, userspace can resolve a minor fault within a shmem-backed area with a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl. The semantics for this match those for hugetlbfs - we look up the existing page in the page cache, and install a PTE for it. This commit introduces a new helper: mfill_atomic_install_pte. Why handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE for shmem in mm/userfaultfd.c, instead of in shmem.c? The existing userfault implementation only relies on shmem.c for VM_SHARED VMAs. However, minor fault handling / CONTINUE work just fine for !VM_SHARED VMAs as well. We'd prefer to handle CONTINUE for shmem in one place, regardless of shared/private (to reduce code duplication). Why add a new mfill_atomic_install_pte helper? A problem we have with continue is that shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() and mcopy_atomic_pte() are *close* to what we want, but not exactly. We do want to setup the PTEs in a CONTINUE operation, but we don't want to e.g. allocate a new page, charge it (e.g. to the shmem inode), manipulate various flags, etc. Also we have the problem stated above: shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() and mcopy_atomic_pte() both handle one-half of the problem (shared / private) continue cares about. So, introduce mcontinue_atomic_pte(), to handle all of the shmem continue cases. Introduce the helper so it doesn't duplicate code with mcopy_atomic_pte(). In a future commit, shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() will also be modified to use this new helper. However, since this is a bigger refactor, it seems most clear to do it as a separate change.

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.
