When I added page_mapped() resilience in __delete_from_page_cache() for the mapping_exiting() case, I missed that mapping_set_exiting() is done in truncate_inode_pages_final(), which is not actually called for shmem. (Today, it is folio_mapped() resilience in filemap_unaccount_folio().) So the fixup to avoid a memory leak in this case never worked on shmem: add a mapping_set_exiting() in shmem_evict_inode() at last. But this is hardly a candidate for stable, since it's only useful if "Bad page".

Various filesystems (including ext4) now support file creation time. This adds such support for tmpfs-based filesystems. Note that using shmem_getattr() on other file types than regular requires that shmem_is_huge() check type, to stop incorrect HPAGE_PMD_SIZE blksize.

The purpose of calling get_user_pages_locked() from lookup_node() was to allow for unlocking the mmap_lock when reading a page from the disk during a page fault (hidden behind VM_FAULT_RETRY). The idea was to reduce contention on the heavily-used mmap_lock. (Thanks to Jan Kara for clearly pointing that out, and in fact I've used some of his wording here.) However, it is unlikely for lookup_node() to take a page fault. With that in mind, change over to calling get_user_pages_fast(). This simplifies the code, runs a little faster in the expected case, and allows removing get_user_pages_locked() entirely, in a subsequent patch.

Remove a quirky special case from follow_pfn_pte(), and adjust its callers to match. Caller changes include: __get_user_pages(): Regardless of any FOLL_* flags, get_user_pages() and its variants should handle PFN-only entries by stopping early, if the caller expected **pages to be filled in. This makes for a more reliable API, as compared to the previous approach of skipping over such entries (and thus leaving them silently unwritten). move_pages(): squash the -EEXIST error return from follow_page() into -EFAULT, because -EFAULT is listed in the man page, whereas -EEXIST is not.

Patch series "mm/gup: some cleanups", v5. This patch (of 5): Alex reported invalid page pointer returned with pin_user_pages_remote() from vfio after upstream commit 4b6c33b3 ("vfio/type1: Prepare for batched pinning with struct vfio_batch"). It turns out that it's not the fault of the vfio commit; however after vfio switches to a full page buffer to store the page pointers it starts to expose the problem easier. The problem is for VM_PFNMAP vmas we should normally fail with an -EFAULT then vfio will carry on to handle the MMIO regions. However when the bug triggered, follow_page_mask() returned -EEXIST for such a page, which will jump over the current page, leaving that entry in **pages untouched. However the caller is not aware of it, hence the caller will reference the page as usual even if the pointer data can be anything. We had that -EEXIST logic since commit 1027e443 ("mm: make GUP handle pfn mapping unless FOLL_GET is requested") which seems very reasonable. It could be that when we reworked GUP with FOLL_PIN we could have overlooked that special path in commit 3faa52c0 ("mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages"), even if that commit rightfully touched up follow_devmap_pud() on checking FOLL_PIN when it needs to return an -EEXIST. Attaching the Fixes to the FOLL_PIN rework commit, as it happened later than 1027e443.

Commit f8b92ba6 ("mount: Add mount warning for impending timestamp expiry") introduced a mount warning regarding filesystem timestamp limits, that is printed upon each writable mount or remount. This can result in a lot of unnecessary messages in the kernel log in setups where filesystems are being frequently remounted (or mounted multiple times). Avoid this by setting a superblock flag which indicates that the warning has been emitted at least once for any particular mount, as suggested in [1].

The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed. CEPHfs is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting just the async (write) congestion flags at what it determines are appropriate times. The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some) WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped. So instead of setting the flag, set an internal flag and change: - .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag is set - .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag is set. The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be called on the page which (I think) wil further delay the next attempt at writeout.

If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try again. So: - remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s - update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually submitted. This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g. to congestion, which will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from page_Cache_async_ra().

Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code to make it fit this documentation. The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra() request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all synchronous. When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.

Ever since these macros were introduced in commit b56c0d89 ("kthread: implement kthread_worker"), there has been precisely one user (commit 4d115420, "NVMe: Async IO queue deletion"), and that user went away in 2016 with db3cbfff ("NVMe: IO queue deletion re-write"). Apart from being unused, these macros are also awkward to use (which may contribute to them not being used): Having a way to statically (or on-stack) allocating the storage for the struct kthread_worker itself doesn't help much, since obviously one needs to have some code for actually _spawning_ the worker thread, which must have error checking. And these days we have the kthread_create_worker() interface which both allocates the struct kthread_worker and spawns the kthread.

The commit in Fixes started adding INT3 after RETs as a mitigation against straight-line speculation. The fastop SETcc implementation in kvm's insn emulator uses macro magic to generate all possible SETcc functions and to jump to them when emulating the respective instruction. However, it hardcodes the size and alignment of those functions to 4: a three-byte SETcc insn and a single-byte RET. BUT, with SLS, there's an INT3 that gets slapped after the RET, which brings the whole scheme out of alignment: 15: 0f 90 c0 seto %al 18: c3 ret 19: cc int3 1a: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) 1d: 0f 91 c0 setno %al 20: c3 ret 21: cc int3 22: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) 25: 0f 92 c0 setb %al 28: c3 ret 29: cc int3 and this explodes like this: int3: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 0 PID: 2435 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc8-sls #1 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
