mm, tree-wide: rename put_user_page*() to unpin_user_page*()
In order to provide a clearer, more symmetric API for pinning and unpinning DMA pages. This way, pin_user_pages*() calls match up with unpin_user_pages*() calls, and the API is a lot closer to being self-explanatory.

mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages*() and FOLL_PIN
Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and
also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.
For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are
converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API.
These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also
introduced, and thoroughly documented.
pin_user_pages()
pin_user_pages_remote()
pin_user_pages_fast()
All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via
put_user_page().
The underlying rules are:
* FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly
set it. That behavior is enforced with assertions.
* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO
("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a
get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers
will:
* Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That
makes it easy to find and audit the call sites.
* Set FOLL_PIN
* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned
via put_user_page().
Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in
this documentation. (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)

mm/gup: allow FOLL_FORCE for get_user_pages_fast()

mm: fix get_user_pages_remote()'s handling of FOLL_LONGTERM
As it says in the updated comment in gup.c: current FOLL_LONGTERM
behavior is incompatible with FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY because of the FS
DAX check requirement on vmas.
However, the corresponding restriction in get_user_pages_remote() was
slightly stricter than is actually required: it forbade all
FOLL_LONGTERM callers, but we can actually allow FOLL_LONGTERM callers
that do not set the "locked" arg.
Update the code and comments to loosen the restriction, allowing
FOLL_LONGTERM in some cases.
Also, copy the DAX check ("if a VMA is DAX, don't allow long term
pinning") from the VFIO call site, all the way into the internals of
get_user_pages_remote() and __gup_longterm_locked(). That is:
get_user_pages_remote() calls __gup_longterm_locked(), which in turn
calls check_dax_vmas(). This check will then be removed from the VFIO
call site in a subsequent patch.
Thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for pointing out a clean way to fix this, and
to Dan Williams for helping clarify the DAX refactoring.

mm/gup: factor out duplicate code from four routines
Patch series "mm/gup: prereqs to track dma-pinned pages: FOLL_PIN", v12.
Overview:
This is a prerequisite to solving the problem of proper interactions
between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1],
[2], [3], and in a remarkable number of email threads since about
2017. :)
A new internal gup flag, FOLL_PIN is introduced, and thoroughly
documented in the last patch's Documentation/vm/pin_user_pages.rst.
I believe that this will provide a good starting point for doing the
layout lease work that Ira Weiny has been working on. That's because
these new wrapper functions provide a clean, constrained, systematically
named set of functionality that, again, is required in order to even
know if a page is "dma-pinned".
In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be
incrementally applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have
been simply calling get_user_pages() ("gup"). In other words, opt-in by
changing from this:
get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET)
put_page()
to this:
pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN)
unpin_user_page()
Testing:
* I've done some overall kernel testing (LTP, and a few other goodies),
and some directed testing to exercise some of the changes. And as you
can see, gup_benchmark is enhanced to exercise this. Basically, I've
been able to runtime test the core get_user_pages() and
pin_user_pages() and related routines, but not so much on several of
the call sites--but those are generally just a couple of lines
changed, each.
Not much of the kernel is actually using this, which on one hand
reduces risk quite a lot. But on the other hand, testing coverage
is low. So I'd love it if, in particular, the Infiniband and PowerPC
folks could do a smoke test of this series for me.
Runtime testing for the call sites so far is pretty light:
* io_uring: Some directed tests from liburing exercise this, and
they pass.
* process_vm_access.c: A small directed test passes.
* gup_benchmark: the enhanced version hits the new gup.c code, and
passes.
* infiniband: Ran rdma-core tests: rdma-core/build/bin/run_tests.py
* VFIO: compiles (I'm vowing to set up a run time test soon, but it's
not ready just yet)
* powerpc: it compiles...
* drm/via: compiles...
* goldfish: compiles...
* net/xdp: compiles...
* media/v4l2: compiles...
[1] Some slow progress on get_user_pages() (Apr 2, 2019): https://lwn.net/Articles/784574/
[2] DMA and get_user_pages() (LPC: Dec 12, 2018): https://lwn.net/Articles/774411/
[3] The trouble with get_user_pages() (Apr 30, 2018): https://lwn.net/Articles/753027/
This patch (of 22):
There are four locations in gup.c that have a fair amount of code
duplication. This means that changing one requires making the same
changes in four places, not to mention reading the same code four times,
and wondering if there are subtle differences.
Factor out the common code into static functions, thus reducing the
overall line count and the code's complexity.
Also, take the opportunity to slightly improve the efficiency of the
error cases, by doing a mass subtraction of the refcount, surrounded by
get_page()/put_page().
Also, further simplify (slightly), by waiting until the the successful
end of each routine, to increment *nr.

mm: fix gup_pud_range
sorry for not processing for a long time. I met it again. patch v1 https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/20/656 do_machine_check() do_memory_failure() memory_failure() hw_poison_user_mappings() try_to_unmap() pteval = swp_entry_to_pte(make_hwpoison_entry(subpage)); ...and now we have a swap entry that indicates that the page entry refers to a bad (and poisoned) page of memory, but gup_fast() at this level of the page table was ignoring swap entries, and incorrectly assuming that "!pxd_none() == valid and present". And this was not just a poisoned page problem, but a generaly swap entry problem. So, any swap entry type (device memory migration, numa migration, or just regular swapping) could lead to the same problem. Fix this by checking for pxd_present(), instead of pxd_none().

mm/gup.c: allow CMA migration to propagate errors back to caller
check_and_migrate_cma_pages() was recording the result of __get_user_pages_locked() in an unsigned "nr_pages" variable. Because __get_user_pages_locked() returns a signed value that can include negative errno values, this had the effect of hiding errors. Change check_and_migrate_cma_pages() implementation so that it uses a signed variable instead, and propagates the results back to the caller just as other gup internal functions do. This was discovered with the help of unsigned_lesser_than_zero.cocci.

mm/gup: fix a misnamed "write" argument, and a related bug
In several routines, the "flags" argument is incorrectly named "write".
Change it to "flags".
Also, in one place, the misnaming led to an actual bug:
"flags & FOLL_WRITE" is required, rather than just "flags".
(That problem was flagged by krobot, in v1 of this patch.)
Also, change the flags argument from int, to unsigned int.
You can see that this was a simple oversight, because the
calling code passes "flags" to the fifth argument:
gup_pgd_range():
...
if (!gup_huge_pd(__hugepd(pgd_val(pgd)), addr,
PGDIR_SHIFT, next, flags, pages, nr))
...which, until this patch, the callees referred to as "write".
Also, change two lines to avoid checkpatch line length
complaints, and another line to fix another oversight
that checkpatch called out: missing "int" on pdshift.

mm: untag user pointers in mm/gup.c
This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments. mm/gup.c provides a kernel interface that accepts user addresses and manipulates user pages directly (for example get_user_pages, that is used by the futex syscall). Since a user can provided tagged addresses, we need to handle this case. Add untagging to gup.c functions that use user addresses for vma lookups.

Introduce a new foll_flag: FOLL_SPLIT_PMD. As the name says FOLL_SPLIT_PMD splits huge pmd for given mm_struct, the underlining huge page stays as-is. FOLL_SPLIT_PMD is useful for cases where we need to use regular pages, but would switch back to huge page and huge pmd on. One of such example is uprobe.

There are about 50+ patches in my tree [2], and I'll be sending out the
remaining ones in a few more groups:
* The block/bio related changes (Jerome mostly wrote those, but I've had
to move stuff around extensively, and add a little code)
* mm/ changes
* other subsystem patches
* an RFC that shows the current state of the tracking patch set. That
can only be applied after all call sites are converted, but it's good to
get an early look at it.
This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP
ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE is somewhat meaningless in itself, and combined with the long-out-of-date comment can lead to the impression than an architecture may just enable it (since __add_pages() now "comprehends device memory" for itself) and expect things to work. In practice, however, ZONE_DEVICE users have little chance of functioning correctly without __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_DEVMAP, so let's clean that up the same way as ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and make it the proper dependency so the real situation is clearer.

mm/gup: speed up check_and_migrate_cma_pages() on huge page
Both hugetlb and thp locate on the same migration type of pageblock, since they are allocated from a free_list[]. Based on this fact, it is enough to check on a single subpage to decide the migration type of the whole huge page. By this way, it saves (2M/4K - 1) times loop for pmd_huge on x86, similar on other archs. Furthermore, when executing isolate_huge_page(), it avoid taking global hugetlb_lock many times, and meanless remove/add to the local link list cma_page_list.

mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions
A discussion of the overall problem is below.
As mentioned in patch 0001, the steps are to fix the problem are:
1) Provide put_user_page*() routines, intended to be used
for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*().
2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to
invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of
call sites, and will take some time.
3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to
implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from
the existing struct page refcounting.
4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement
special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are
backed by a filesystem.
Overview
========
Some kernel components (file systems, device drivers) need to access
memory that is specified via process virtual address. For a long time,
the API to achieve that was get_user_pages ("GUP") and its variations.
However, GUP has critical limitations that have been overlooked; in
particular, GUP does not interact correctly with filesystems in all
situations. That means that file-backed memory + GUP is a recipe for
potential problems, some of which have already occurred in the field.
GUP was first introduced for Direct IO (O_DIRECT), allowing filesystem
code to get the struct page behind a virtual address and to let storage
hardware perform a direct copy to or from that page. This is a
short-lived access pattern, and as such, the window for a concurrent
writeback of GUP'd page was small enough that there were not (we think)
any reported problems. Also, userspace was expected to understand and
accept that Direct IO was not synchronized with memory-mapped access to
that data, nor with any process address space changes such as munmap(),
mremap(), etc.
Over the years, more GUP uses have appeared (virtualization, device
drivers, RDMA) that can keep the pages they get via GUP for a long period
of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, ...). This long-term pinning
makes an underlying design problem more obvious.
In fact, there are a number of key problems inherent to GUP:
Interactions with file systems
==============================
File systems expect to be able to write back data, both to reclaim pages,
and for data integrity. Allowing other hardware (NICs, GPUs, etc) to gain
write access to the file memory pages means that such hardware can dirty
the pages, without the filesystem being aware. This can, in some cases
(depending on filesystem, filesystem options, block device, block device
options, and other variables), lead to data corruption, and also to kernel
bugs of the form:
kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899!
backtrace:
ext4_writepage
__writepage
write_cache_pages

__writeback_single_inode
writeback_sb_inodes
__writeback_inodes_wb
wb_writeback
wb_workfn
process_one_work
worker_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork
...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer
heads attached:
({ \
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \
((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \
})
Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear:
"The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every
write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one.
How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is clean
and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it is
marked writeable and dirtied. Every. Time."
This is just one symptom of the larger design problem: real filesystems
that actually write to a backing device, do not actually support
get_user_pages() being called on their pages, and letting hardware write
directly to those pages--even though that pattern has been going on since
about 2005 or so.
Long term GUP
=============
Long term GUP is an issue when FOLL_WRITE is specified to GUP (so, a
writeable mapping is created), and the pages are file-backed. That can
lead to filesystem corruption. What happens is that when a file-backed
page is being written back, it is first mapped read-only in all of the CPU
page tables; the file system then assumes that nobody can write to the
page, and that the page content is therefore stable. Unfortunately, the
GUP callers generally do not monitor changes to the CPU pages tables; they
instead assume that the following pattern is safe (it's not):
get_user_pages()
Hardware can keep a reference to those pages for a very long time,
and write to it at any time. Because "hardware" here means "devices
that are not a CPU", this activity occurs without any interaction with
the kernel's file system code.
for each page
set_page_dirty
put_page()
In fact, the GUP documentation even recommends that pattern.
Anyway, the file system assumes that the page is stable (nothing is
writing to the page), and that is a problem: stable page content is
necessary for many filesystem actions during writeback, such as checksum,
encryption, RAID striping, etc. Furthermore, filesystem features like COW
(copy on write) or snapshot also rely on being able to use a new page for
as memory for that memory range inside the file.
Corruption during write back is clearly possible here. To solve that, one
idea is to identify pages that have active GUP, so that we can use a
bounce page to write stable data to the filesystem. The filesystem would
work on the bounce page, while any of the active GUP might write to the
original page. This would avoid the stable page violation problem, but
note that it is only part of the overall solution, because other problems
remain.
Other filesystem features that need to replace the page with a new one can
be inhibited for pages that are GUP-pinned. This will, however, alter and
limit some of those filesystem features. The only fix for that would be
to require GUP users to monitor and respond to CPU page table updates.
Subsystems such as ODP and HMM do this, for example. This aspect of the
problem is still under discussion.
Direct IO
=========
Direct IO can cause corruption, if userspace does Direct-IO that writes to
a range of virtual addresses that are mmap'd to a file. The pages written
to are file-backed pages that can be under write back, while the Direct IO
is taking place. Here, Direct IO races with a write back: it calls GUP
before page_mkclean() has replaced the CPU pte with a read-only entry.
The race window is pretty small, which is probably why years have gone by
before we noticed this problem: Direct IO is generally very quick, and
tends to finish up before the filesystem gets around to do anything with
the page contents. However, it's still a real problem. The solution is
to never let GUP return pages that are under write back, but instead,
force GUP to take a write fault on those pages. That way, GUP will
properly synchronize with the active write back. This does not change the
required GUP behavior, it just avoids that race.
Details
=======
Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page(). This provides
a way to update all get_user_pages*() callers, so that they call
put_user_page(), instead of put_page().
Also introduces put_user_pages(), and a few dirty/locked variations, as a
replacement for release_pages(), and also as a replacement for open-coded
loops that release multiple pages. These may be used for subsequent
performance improvements, via batching of pages to be released.
This is the first step of fixing a problem (also described in [1] and [2])
with interactions between get_user_pages ("gup") and filesystems.
Problem description: let's start with a bug report. Below, is what
happens sometimes, under memory pressure, when a driver pins some pages
via gup, and then marks those pages dirty, and releases them. Note that
the gup documentation actually recommends that pattern. The problem is
that the filesystem may do a writeback while the pages were gup-pinned,
and then the filesystem believes that the pages are clean. So, when the
driver later marks the pages as dirty, that conflicts with the
filesystem's page tracking and results in a BUG(), like this one that I
experienced:

for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*().
2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to
invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of
call sites, and will take some time.
3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to
implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from
the existing struct page refcounting.
4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement
special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are
backed by a filesystem.

mm/gup: add FOLL_LONGTERM capability to GUP fast

mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool'
To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the singular write parameter to be gup_flags. This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will follow in subsequent patches. Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter. NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast() arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

mm/gup: replace get_user_pages_longterm() with FOLL_LONGTERM
Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it". HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages. Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also shown interest in using this functionality.[1] In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939 "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move. I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to solve the "longterm" problem. Then I think we can change the flag to a better name. Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory. I have spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path... For the overall application performance. I don't have the numbers as the tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago. But there was a significant advantage. Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have to hold mmap_sem. Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use *_fast. There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well. Also to this point others are looking to use *_fast. As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and *_unlocked look very much the same. I agree and I think further cleanup will be coming. But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at the moment. This patch (of 7): This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in get_user_pages_fast(). Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance purposes. Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it. This patch does not change any functionality. In the short term "longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX in particular has been blocked. However, callers of get_user_pages_fast() were not "protected". FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use. NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of __get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages. This makes the code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the pages before and after a potential migration. As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the primary purpose of the series. In review[1] it was asked: <quote> > This I don't get - if you do lock down long term mappings performance > of the actual get_user_pages call shouldn't matter to start with. > > What do I miss? A couple of points. First "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move.

Merge branch 'page-refs' (page ref overflow)
Merge page ref overflow branch. Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely slow). Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever free the page references and just keep adding more). Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page duplication. So let's just do that. * branch page-refs: fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit |

mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while there are still four billion references to it. One of the possible avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO on a page multiple times. This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion references to the page.

mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA region
This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated out of CMA region. This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages (due to page reference count) in the CMA area. This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in the CMA region. ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA region results in page table allocation failures. One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough device. VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough hash page table.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
