      mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing · 38e08854
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored 
      The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.

However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
__get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
region.

A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
simple repro code.

There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange
behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.

This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

      radix tree: fix sibling entry handling in radix_tree_descend() · 8d2c0d36
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is
broken.  The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged
pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the
pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits.  But gcc will
notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will
avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly.

This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to
validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and
using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer.  And
once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer
directly.

[ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel
  right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is
  that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said:

    "Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
     It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.

     I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need
     something.  (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2].  It looks
     okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't
     know much about radix-tree internals.)"

      radix tree test suite: Test radix_tree_replace_slot() for multiorder entries · 62fd5258
      Matthew Wilcox authored 
      When we replace a multiorder entry, check that all indices reflect the
new value.

Also, compile the test suite with -O2, which shows other problems with
the code due to some dodgy pointer operations in the radix tree code.
