[ Upstream commit f043a93fff9e3e3e648b6525483f59104b0819fa ]

In some physical memory layout designs, the address space of CFMW (CXL
Fixed Memory Window) resides between multiple segments of system memory
belonging to the same NUMA node. In numa_cleanup_meminfo, these multiple
segments of system memory are merged into a larger numa_memblk. When
identifying which NUMA node the CFMW belongs to, it may be incorrectly
assigned to the NUMA node of the merged system memory.

When a CXL RAM region is created in userspace, the memory capacity of
the newly created region is not added to the CFMW-dedicated NUMA node.
Instead, it is accumulated into an existing NUMA node (e.g., NUMA0
containing RAM). This makes it impossible to clearly distinguish
between the two types of memory, which may affect memory-tiering
applications.

Example memory layout:

Physical address space:
    0x00000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF  System RAM (node0)
    0x20000000 - 0x2FFFFFFF  CXL CFMW (node2)
    0x40000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF  System RAM (node0)
    0x60000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF  System RAM (node1)

After numa_cleanup_meminfo, the two node0 segments are merged into one:
    0x00000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF  System RAM (node0) // CFMW is inside the range
    0x60000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF  System RAM (node1)

So the CFMW (0x20000000-0x2FFFFFFF) will be incorrectly assigned to node0.

To address this scenario, accurately identifying the correct NUMA node
can be achieved by checking whether the region belongs to both
numa_meminfo and numa_reserved_meminfo.

While this issue is only observed in a QEMU configuration, and no known
end users are impacted by this problem, it is likely that some firmware
implementation is leaving memory map holes in a CXL Fixed Memory Window.
CXL hotplug depends on mapping free window capacity, and it seems to be
only a coincidence to have not hit this problem yet.

<title>mm/slab: use unsigned long for orig_size to ensure proper metadata align</title>

[ Upstream commit b85f369b81aed457acbea4ad3314218254a72fd2 ]

When both KASAN and SLAB_STORE_USER are enabled, accesses to
struct kasan_alloc_meta fields can be misaligned on 64-bit architectures.
This occurs because orig_size is currently defined as unsigned int,
which only guarantees 4-byte alignment. When struct kasan_alloc_meta is
placed after orig_size, it may end up at a 4-byte boundary rather than
the required 8-byte boundary on 64-bit systems.

Note that 64-bit architectures without HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
are assumed to require 64-bit accesses to be 64-bit aligned.
See HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS and commit adab66b71abf ("Revert:
"ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS"") for more details.

Change orig_size from unsigned int to unsigned long to ensure proper
alignment for any subsequent metadata. This should not waste additional
memory because kmalloc objects are already aligned to at least
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.

<title>mm/vmalloc: prevent RCU stalls in kasan_release_vmalloc_node</title>

[ Upstream commit 5747435e0fd474c24530ef1a6822f47e7d264b27 ]

When CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER is enabled, freeing KASAN shadow pages during
vmalloc cleanup triggers expensive stack unwinding that acquires RCU read
locks.  Processing a large purge_list without rescheduling can cause the
task to hold CPU for extended periods (10+ seconds), leading to RCU stalls
and potential OOM conditions.

The issue manifests in purge_vmap_node() -&gt; kasan_release_vmalloc_node()
where iterating through hundreds or thousands of vmap_area entries and
freeing their associated shadow pages causes:

  rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
  rcu: Tasks blocked on level-0 rcu_node (CPUs 0-1): P6229/1:b..l
  ...
  task:kworker/0:17 state:R running task stack:28840 pid:6229
  ...
  kasan_release_vmalloc_node+0x1ba/0xad0 mm/vmalloc.c:2299
  purge_vmap_node+0x1ba/0xad0 mm/vmalloc.c:2299

Each call to kasan_release_vmalloc() can free many pages, and with
page_owner tracking, each free triggers save_stack() which performs stack
unwinding under RCU read lock.  Without yielding, this creates an
unbounded RCU critical section.

Add periodic cond_resched() calls within the loop to allow:
- RCU grace periods to complete
- Other tasks to run
- Scheduler to preempt when needed

The fix uses need_resched() for immediate response under load, with a
batch count of 32 as a guaranteed upper bound to prevent worst-case stalls
even under light load.

<title>mm, page_alloc, thp: prevent reclaim for __GFP_THISNODE THP allocations</title>

[ Upstream commit 9c9828d3ead69416d731b1238802af31760c823e ]

Since commit cc638f329ef6 ("mm, thp: tweak reclaim/compaction effort of
local-only and all-node allocations"), THP page fault allocations have
settled on the following scheme (from the commit log):

1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction.
2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP
   allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting
   and VMA madvise
3. fallback to base pages on any node

Recent customer reports however revealed we have a gap in step 1 above.
What we have seen is excessive reclaim due to THP page faults on a NUMA
node that's close to its high watermark, while other nodes have plenty of
free memory.

The problem with step 1 is that it promises no reclaim after the
compaction attempt, however reclaim is only avoided for certain compaction
outcomes (deferred, or skipped due to insufficient free base pages), and
not e.g.  when compaction is actually performed but fails (we did see
compact_fail vmstat counter increasing).

THP page faults can therefore exhibit a zone_reclaim_mode-like behavior,
which is not the intention.

Thus add a check for __GFP_THISNODE that corresponds to this exact
situation and prevents continuing with reclaim/compaction once the initial
compaction attempt isn't successful in allocating the page.

Note that commit cc638f329ef6 has not introduced this over-reclaim
possibility; it appears to exist in some form since commit 2f0799a0ffc0
("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations").  Followup commits
b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may
not succeed") and cc638f329ef6 have moved in the right direction, but left
the abovementioned gap.

<title>mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using mmu_gather</title>

<id>urn:sha1:da06bb0ca45b1ca6f1ab55023e34e61a520337f3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8ce720d5bd91e9dc16db3604aa4b1bf76770a9a1 upstream.

As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix
huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations
where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page
tables that it severely regresses some workloads.

In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large
area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per
unshared PMD table.

There are two optimizations to be had:

(1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during
    exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as
    we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table.

    Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before
    we drop the lock.

(2) When we are not the last sharer (&gt; 2 users including us), there is
    no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot
    become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted
    by the last sharer.

    Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we
    unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the
    shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed
    an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just
    sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs.

    Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are
    no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI
    broadcast.

    (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast
     after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle
     this)

So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather
infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the
code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to
deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation.

To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single
VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide
tlb_gather_mmu_vma().

We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in
tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track
in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables.

Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be
prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead
require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables().

From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure
that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is
still held.

Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that
tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier.

Document it all properly.

Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing:

There are two fairly tricky things:

(1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without
    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.

    Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an
    IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only
    send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb-&gt;freed_tables is set.

    The relevant architectures should be selecting
    MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable
    kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch.

    Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different
    when tlb-&gt;freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also
    take care of tlb-&gt;unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so
    hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting
    tlb-&gt;freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush
    too much, because the semantics of tlb-&gt;freed_tables are a bit
    fuzzy.

    This patch changes nothing in this regard.

(2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with
    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync.

    Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB)
    we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the
    second tlb_remove_table_sync_one().

    This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in
    tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as
    described in (1), it really must honor tlb-&gt;freed_tables then to
    send IPIs to all relevant CPUs.

Notes on TLB flushing changes:

(1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables

    We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to
    tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the
    MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to
    __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine.

(2) Flushing for shared PMD tables

    We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(),
    tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range().

    tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that
    tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios.
    Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls
    __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on
    powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing.

    Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB
    flushing keeps on working as expected.

Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a
concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing
concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed
separately as a cleanup later.

There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until
this is fixed.

<content type='text'>
commit 3937027caecb4f8251e82dd857ba1d749bb5a428 upstream.

Ever since we stopped using the page count to detect shared PMD page
tables, these comments are outdated.

The only reason we have to flush the TLB early is because once we drop the
i_mmap_rwsem, the previously shared page table could get freed (to then
get reallocated and used for other purpose).  So we really have to flush
the TLB before that could happen.

So let's simplify the comments a bit.

The "If we unshared PMDs, the TLB flush was not recorded in mmu_gather."
part introduced as in commit a4a118f2eead ("hugetlbfs: flush TLBs
correctly after huge_pmd_unshare") was confusing: sure it is recorded in
the mmu_gather, otherwise tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() wouldn't do anything.
So let's drop that comment while at it as well.

commit 14967a9c7d247841b0312c48dcf8cd29e55a4cc8 upstream.

commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared
count") introduced -&gt;pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count
tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the
function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works.

When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit
bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with
hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup -

There are two options to resolve the potential latent issue:
  1. warn against PMD sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range(),
  2. fix it.
This patch opts for the second option.
While at it, simplify the comment, the details are not actually relevant
anymore.

<title>mm, shmem: prevent infinite loop on truncate race</title>

commit 2030dddf95451b4e7a389f052091e7c4b7b274c6 upstream.

When truncating a large swap entry, shmem_free_swap() returns 0 when the
entry's index doesn't match the given index due to lookup alignment.  The
failure fallback path checks if the entry crosses the end border and
aborts when it happens, so truncate won't erase an unexpected entry or
range.  But one scenario was ignored.

When `index` points to the middle of a large swap entry, and the large
swap entry doesn't go across the end border, find_get_entries() will
return that large swap entry as the first item in the batch with
`indices[0]` equal to `index`.  The entry's base index will be smaller
than `indices[0]`, so shmem_free_swap() will fail and return 0 due to the
"base &lt; index" check.  The code will then call shmem_confirm_swap(), get
the order, check if it crosses the END boundary (which it doesn't), and
retry with the same index.

The next iteration will find the same entry again at the same index with
same indices, leading to an infinite loop.

Fix this by retrying with a round-down index, and abort if the index is
smaller than the truncate range.

When __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() fails, there are two different
free paths depending on whether size == 1 or size != 1. In the
kmem_cache_free_bulk() path, we do call alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook().
However, in memcg_alloc_abort_single() we don't, the above warning will be
triggered on the next allocation.

Therefore, add alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook() to the
memcg_alloc_abort_single() path.
