commit dd21bfa425c098b95ca86845f8e7d1ec1ddf6e4a upstream.

Since bit 57 was exported for uffd-wp write-protected (commit
fb8e37f35a2f: "mm/pagemap: export uffd-wp protection information"),
fixing it can reduce some unnecessary confusion.

The reproducer was trying to read /proc/$PID/smaps when calling
MADV_FREE at the mean time.  MADV_FREE may split THPs if it is called
for partial THP.  It may trigger the below race:

           CPU A                         CPU B
           -----                         -----
  smaps walk:                      MADV_FREE:
  page_mapcount()
    PageCompound()
                                   split_huge_page()
    page = compound_head(page)
    PageDoubleMap(page)

When calling PageDoubleMap() this page is not a tail page of THP anymore
so the BUG is triggered.

This could be fixed by elevated refcount of the page before calling
mapcount, but that would prevent it from counting migration entries, and
it seems overkilling because the race just could happen when PMD is
split so all PTE entries of tail pages are actually migration entries,
and smaps_account() does treat migration entries as mapcount == 1 as
Kirill pointed out.

Add a new parameter for smaps_account() to tell this entry is migration
entry then skip calling page_mapcount().  Don't skip getting mapcount
for device private entries since they do track references with mapcount.

Pagemap also has the similar issue although it was not reported.  Fixed
it as well.

<title>mm/smaps: simplify shmem handling of pte holes</title>

<content type='text'>
Firstly, check_shmem_swap variable is actually not necessary, because
it's always set with pte_hole hook; checking each would work.

Meanwhile, the check within smaps_pte_entry is not easy to follow.
E.g., pte_none() check is not needed as "!pte_present &amp;&amp; !is_swap_pte"
is the same.  Since at it, use the pte_hole() helper rather than dup the
page cache lookup.

Still keep the CONFIG_SHMEM part so the code can be optimized to nop for
!SHMEM.

There will be a very slight functional change in smaps_pte_entry(), that
for !SHMEM we'll return early for pte_none (before checking page==NULL),
but that's even nicer.

Patch series "mm/smaps: Fixes and optimizations on shmem swap handling".

This patch (of 3):

The shmem swap calculation on the privately writable mappings are using
wrong parameters as spotted by Vlastimil.  Fix them.  This was
introduced in commit 48131e03ca4e ("mm, proc: reduce cost of
/proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappings"), when shmem_swap_usage
was reworked to shmem_partial_swap_usage.

Test program:

  void main(void)
  {
      char *buffer, *p;
      int i, fd;

      fd = memfd_create("test", 0);
      assert(fd &gt; 0);

      /* isize==2M*3, fill in pages, swap them out */
      ftruncate(fd, SIZE_2M * 3);
      buffer = mmap(NULL, SIZE_2M * 3, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
      assert(buffer);
      for (i = 0, p = buffer; i &lt; SIZE_2M * 3 / 4096; i++) {
          *p = 1;
          p += 4096;
      }
      madvise(buffer, SIZE_2M * 3, MADV_PAGEOUT);
      munmap(buffer, SIZE_2M * 3);

      /*
       * Remap with private+writtable mappings on partial of the inode (&lt;= 2M*3),
       * while the size must also be &gt;= 2M*2 to make sure there's a none pmd so
       * smaps_pte_hole will be triggered.
       */
      buffer = mmap(NULL, SIZE_2M * 2, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
      printf("pid=%d, buffer=%p\n", getpid(), buffer);

      /* Check /proc/$PID/smap_rollup, should see 4MB swap */
      sleep(1000000);
  }

Before the patch, smaps_rollup shows &lt;4MB swap and the number will be
random depending on the alignment of the buffer of mmap() allocated.
After this patch, it'll show 4MB.

Patch series "Add support for SVM atomics in Nouveau", v11.

Introduction
============

Some devices have features such as atomic PTE bits that can be used to
implement atomic access to system memory.  To support atomic operations to
a shared virtual memory page such a device needs access to that page which
is exclusive of the CPU.  This series introduces a mechanism to
temporarily unmap pages granting exclusive access to a device.

These changes are required to support OpenCL atomic operations in Nouveau
to shared virtual memory (SVM) regions allocated with the
CL_MEM_SVM_ATOMICS clSVMAlloc flag.  A more complete description of the
OpenCL SVM feature is available at
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/
OpenCL_API.html#_shared_virtual_memory .

Implementation
==============

Exclusive device access is implemented by adding a new swap entry type
(SWAP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE) which is similar to a migration entry.  The main
difference is that on fault the original entry is immediately restored by
the fault handler instead of waiting.

Restoring the entry triggers calls to MMU notifers which allows a device
driver to revoke the atomic access permission from the GPU prior to the
CPU finalising the entry.

Patches
=======

Patches 1 &amp; 2 refactor existing migration and device private entry
functions.

Patches 3 &amp; 4 rework try_to_unmap_one() by splitting out unrelated
functionality into separate functions - try_to_migrate_one() and
try_to_munlock_one().

Patch 5 renames some existing code but does not introduce functionality.

Patch 6 is a small clean-up to swap entry handling in copy_pte_range().

Patch 7 contains the bulk of the implementation for device exclusive
memory.

Patch 8 contains some additions to the HMM selftests to ensure everything
works as expected.

Patch 9 is a cleanup for the Nouveau SVM implementation.

Patch 10 contains the implementation of atomic access for the Nouveau
driver.

Testing
=======

This has been tested with upstream Mesa 21.1.0 and a simple OpenCL program
which checks that GPU atomic accesses to system memory are atomic.
Without this series the test fails as there is no way of write-protecting
the page mapping which results in the device clobbering CPU writes.  For
reference the test is available at
https://ozlabs.org/~apopple/opencl_svm_atomics/

Further testing has been performed by adding support for testing exclusive
access to the hmm-tests kselftests.

This patch (of 10):

Remove multiple similar inline functions for dealing with different types
of special swap entries.

Both migration and device private swap entries use the swap offset to
store a pfn.  Instead of multiple inline functions to obtain a struct page
for each swap entry type use a common function pfn_swap_entry_to_page().
Also open-code the various entry_to_pfn() functions as this results is
shorter code that is easier to understand.

Since commit 99cb0dbd47a1 ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for
(non-shmem) FS"), read-only THP file mapping is supported.  But it forgot
to add checking for it in transparent_hugepage_enabled().  To fix it, we
add checking for read-only THP file mapping and also introduce helper
transhuge_vma_enabled() to check whether thp is enabled for specified vma
to reduce duplicated code.  We rename transparent_hugepage_enabled to
transparent_hugepage_active to make the code easier to follow as suggested
by David Hildenbrand.

has_pinned 32bit can be packed in the MMF_HAS_PINNED bit as a noop
cleanup.

Any atomic_inc/dec to the mm cacheline shared by all threads in pin-fast
would reintroduce a loss of SMP scalability to pin-fast, so there's no
future potential usefulness to keep an atomic in the mm for this.

set_bit(MMF_HAS_PINNED) will be theoretically a bit slower than WRITE_ONCE
(atomic_set is equivalent to WRITE_ONCE), but the set_bit (just like
atomic_set after this commit) has to be still issued only once per "mm",
so the difference between the two will be lost in the noise.

will-it-scale "mmap2" shows no change in performance with enterprise
config as expected.

will-it-scale "pin_fast" retains the &gt; 4000% SMP scalability performance
improvement against upstream as expected.

This is a noop as far as overall performance and SMP scalability are
concerned.

Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling", v9.

Overview
========

This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS.
When enabled (via the UFFDIO_API ioctl), this feature means that any
hugetlbfs VMAs registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING will *also*
get events for "minor" faults.  By "minor" fault, I mean the following
situation:

Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s) (shared
memory).  One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor
mode), and the other is not.  Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying
pages have already been allocated &amp; filled with some contents.  The UFFD
mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first
time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault.  As a concrete
example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but
find_lock_page() finds an existing page.

We also add a new ioctl to resolve such faults: UFFDIO_CONTINUE.  The idea
is, userspace resolves the fault by either a) doing nothing if the
contents are already correct, or b) updating the underlying contents using
the second, non-UFFD mapping (via memcpy/memset or similar, or something
fancier like RDMA, or etc...).  In either case, userspace issues
UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are
correct, carry on setting up the mapping".

Use Case
========

Consider the use case of VM live migration (e.g. under QEMU/KVM):

1. While a VM is still running, we copy the contents of its memory to a
   target machine. The pages are populated on the target by writing to the
   non-UFFD mapping, using the setup described above. The VM is still running
   (and therefore its memory is likely changing), so this may be repeated
   several times, until we decide the target is "up to date enough".

2. We pause the VM on the source, and start executing on the target machine.
   During this gap, the VM's user(s) will *see* a pause, so it is desirable to
   minimize this window.

3. Between the last time any page was copied from the source to the target, and
   when the VM was paused, the contents of that page may have changed - and
   therefore the copy we have on the target machine is out of date. Although we
   can keep track of which pages are out of date, for VMs with large amounts of
   memory, it is "slow" to transfer this information to the target machine. We
   want to resume execution before such a transfer would complete.

4. So, the guest begins executing on the target machine. The first time it
   touches its memory (via the UFFD-registered mapping), userspace wants to
   intercept this fault. Userspace checks whether or not the page is up to date,
   and if not, copies the updated page from the source machine, via the non-UFFD
   mapping. Finally, whether a copy was performed or not, userspace issues a
   UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents
   are correct, carry on setting up the mapping".

We don't have to do all of the final updates on-demand. The userfaultfd manager
can, in the background, also copy over updated pages once it receives the map of
which pages are up-to-date or not.

Interaction with Existing APIs
==============================

Because this is a feature, a registered VMA could potentially receive both
missing and minor faults.  I spent some time thinking through how the
existing API interacts with the new feature:

UFFDIO_CONTINUE cannot be used to resolve non-minor faults, as it does not
allocate a new page.  If UFFDIO_CONTINUE is used on a non-minor fault:

- For non-shared memory or shmem, -EINVAL is returned.
- For hugetlb, -EFAULT is returned.

UFFDIO_COPY and UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE cannot be used to resolve minor faults.
Without modifications, the existing codepath assumes a new page needs to
be allocated.  This is okay, since userspace must have a second
non-UFFD-registered mapping anyway, thus there isn't much reason to want
to use these in any case (just memcpy or memset or similar).

- If UFFDIO_COPY is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned.
- If UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned (or -EINVAL
  in the case of hugetlb, as UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is unsupported in any case).
- UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT simply doesn't work with shared memory, and returns
  -ENOENT in that case (regardless of the kind of fault).

Future Work
===========

This series only supports hugetlbfs.  I have a second series in flight to
support shmem as well, extending the functionality.  This series is more
mature than the shmem support at this point, and the functionality works
fully on hugetlbfs, so this series can be merged first and then shmem
support will follow.

This patch (of 6):

This feature allows userspace to intercept "minor" faults.  By "minor"
faults, I mean the following situation:

Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s).  One of the
mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is
not.  Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been
allocated &amp; filled with some contents.  The UFFD mapping has not yet been
faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what
I'm calling a "minor" fault.  As a concrete example, when working with
hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing
page.

This commit adds the new registration mode, and sets the relevant flag on
the VMAs being registered.  In the hugetlb fault path, if we find that we
have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() does indeed find an existing
page, then we have a "minor" fault, and if the VMA has the userfaultfd
registration flag, we call into userfaultfd to handle it.

This is implemented as a new registration mode, instead of an API feature.
This is because the alternative implementation has significant drawbacks
[1].

However, doing it this was requires we allocate a VM_* flag for the new
registration mode.  On 32-bit systems, there are no unused bits, so this
feature is only supported on architectures with
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS.  When attempting to register a VMA in
MINOR mode on 32-bit architectures, we return -EINVAL.
