Patch series "userfaultfd: convert userfaultfd functions to use folios",
v6.
This patch series converts several userfaultfd functions to use folios.
This patch (of 6):
Call vma_alloc_folio() directly instead of alloc_page_vma() and convert
page_kaddr to kaddr in mfill_atomic_pte_copy(). Removes several calls to
compound_head().

Commit 700d2e9a36b9 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity
checks") has introduced a new static key check_pages_enabled to control
when struct pages are sanity checked during allocation and freeing. Mel
Gorman suggested that free_tail_pages_check() could use this static key as
well, instead of relying on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. That makes sense, so do
that. Also rename the function to free_tail_page_prepare() because it
works on a single tail page and has a struct page preparation component as
well as the optional checking component.
Also remove some unnecessary unlikely() within static_branch_unlikely()
statements that Mel pointed out for commit 700d2e9a36b9.

If we end up with a writable migration entry that has the uffd-wp bit set,
we already messed up: the source PTE/PMD was writable, which means we
could have modified the page without notifying uffd first. Setting the
uffd-wp bit always implies converting migration entries to !writable
migration entries.
Commit 8f34f1eac382 ("mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for
fork()") documents that "3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write
migration huge pmd entry", but it doesn't really say why that should be
relevant.
So let's remove that code to avoid hiding an eventual underlying issue (in
the future, we might want to warn when creating writable migration entries
that have the uffd-wp bit set -- or even better when turning a PTE
writable that still has the uffd-wp bit set).
This now matches the handling for hugetlb migration entries in
hugetlb_change_protection().
In copy_huge_pmd()/copy_nonpresent_pte()/copy_hugetlb_page_range(), we
still transfer the uffd-bit also for writable migration entries, but
simply because we have unified handling for "writable" and
"readable-exclusive" migration entries, and we care about transferring the
uffd-wp bit for the latter.

cgroups v1 has a unique way of setting up memory pressure notifications:
the user opens "memory.pressure_level" of the cgroup they want to monitor
for pressure, then open "cgroup.event_control" and write the fd (among
other things) to that file. memory.pressure_level has no other use,
specifically it does not support any read or write operations.
Consequently, no handlers are provided, and cgroup_file_mode() sets the
permissions to 000. However, to actually use the mechanism, the
subscribing user must have read access to the file and open the fd for
reading, see memcg_write_event_control().
This is all fine as long as the subscribing process runs as root and is
otherwise unconfined by further restrictions. However, if you add strict
access controls such as selinux, the permission bits will be enforced, and
opening memory.pressure_level for reading will fail, preventing the
process from subscribing, even as root.
To work around this issue, introduce a dummy read handler. When
memory.pressure_level is created, cgroup_file_mode() will notice the
existence of a handler, and therefore add read permissions to the file.

Make sure that collapse_file doesn't interfere with checking the uptodate
flag in the page cache by only inserting hpage into the page cache after
it has been updated and marked uptodate. This is achieved by simply not
replacing present pages with hpage when iterating over the target range.
The present pages are already locked, so replacing them with the locked
hpage before the collapse is finalized is unnecessary. However, it is
necessary to stop freezing the present pages after validating them, since
leaving long-term frozen pages in the page cache can lead to deadlocks.
Simply checking the reference count is sufficient to ensure that there are
no long-term references hanging around that would the collapse would
break. Similar to hpage, there is no reason that the present pages
actually need to be frozen in addition to being locked.
This fixes a race where folio_seek_hole_data would mistake hpage for an
fallocated but unwritten page. This race is visible to userspace via data
temporarily disappearing from SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE. This also fixes a
similar race where pages could temporarily disappear from mincore.

Make sure that collapse_file respects any userfaultfds registered with
MODE_MISSING. If userspace has any such userfaultfds registered, then for
any page which it knows to be missing, it may expect a
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT. This means collapse_file needs to be careful when
collapsing a shmem range would result in replacing an empty page with a
THP, to avoid breaking userfaultfd.
Synchronization when checking for userfaultfds in collapse_file is tricky
because the mmap locks can't be used to prevent races with the
registration of new userfaultfds. Instead, we provide synchronization by
ensuring that userspace cannot observe the fact that pages are missing
before we check for userfaultfds. Although this allows registration of a
userfaultfd to race with collapse_file, it ensures that userspace cannot
observe any pages transition from missing to present after such a race
occurs. This makes such a race indistinguishable to the collapse
occurring immediately before the userfaultfd registration.
The first step to provide this synchronization is to stop filling gaps
during the loop iterating over the target range, since the page cache lock
can be dropped during that loop. The second step is to fill the gaps with
XA_RETRY_ENTRY after the page cache lock is acquired the final time, to
avoid races with accesses to the page cache that only take the RCU read
lock.
The fact that we don't fill holes during the initial iteration means that
collapse_file now has to handle faults occurring during the collapse.
This is done by re-validating the number of missing pages after acquiring
the page cache lock for the final time.
This fix is targeted at khugepaged, but the change also applies to
MADV_COLLAPSE. MADV_COLLAPSE on a range with a userfaultfd will now
return EBUSY if there are any missing pages (instead of succeeding on
shmem and returning EINVAL on anonymous memory). There is also now a
window during MADV_COLLAPSE where a fault on a missing page will cause the
syscall to fail with EAGAIN.
The fact that intermediate page cache state can no longer be observed
before the rollback of a failed collapse is also technically a
userspace-visible change (via at least SEEK_DATA and SEEK_END), but it is
exceedingly unlikely that anything relies on being able to observe that
transient state.

Patch series "mm/khugepaged: fixes for khugepaged+shmem", v6.
This series reworks collapse_file so that the intermediate state of the
collapse does not leak out of collapse_file. Although this makes
collapse_file a bit more complicated, it means that the rest of the
kernel doesn't have to deal with the unusual state. This directly fixes
races with both lseek and mincore.
This series also fixes the fact that khugepaged completely breaks
userfaultfd+shmem. The rework of collapse_file provides a convenient
place to check for registered userfaultfds without making the shmem
userfaultfd implementation care about khugepaged.
Finally, this series adds a lru_add_drain after swapping in shmem pages,
which makes the subsequent folio_isolate_lru significantly more likely to
succeed.
This patch (of 4):
Call lru_add_drain after swapping in shmem pages so that isolate_lru_page
is more likely to succeed.

Make collapse_file roll back when copying pages failed. More concretely:
- extract copying operations into a separate loop
- postpone the updates for nr_none until both scanning and copying
succeeded
- postpone joining small xarray entries until both scanning and copying
succeeded
- postpone the update operations to NR_XXX_THPS until both scanning and
copying succeeded
- for non-SHMEM file, roll back filemap_nr_thps_inc if scan succeeded but
copying failed
Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test. Mount tmpfs at /mnt/ramdisk.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
non-huge memory buffer from /mnt/ramdisk.
2. Pick 4 random buffer address (2 in each thread) and inject
uncorrectable memory errors at physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and then check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from
poisoned pages by skipping them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
data corruption.

Problem
=======
Memory DIMMs are subject to multi-bit flips, i.e. memory errors. As
memory size and density increase, the chances of and number of memory
errors increase. The increasing size and density of server RAM in the
data center and cloud have shown increased uncorrectable memory errors.
There are already mechanisms in the kernel to recover from uncorrectable
memory errors. This series of patches provides the recovery mechanism for
the particular kernel agent khugepaged when it collapses memory pages.
Impact
======
The main reason we chose to make khugepaged collapsing tolerant of memory
failures was its high possibility of accessing poisoned memory while
performing functionally optional compaction actions. Standard
applications typically don't have strict requirements on the size of its
pages. So they are given 4K pages by the kernel. The kernel is able to
improve application performance by either
1) giving applications 2M pages to begin with, or
2) collapsing 4K pages into 2M pages when possible.
This collapsing operation is done by khugepaged, a kernel agent that is
constantly scanning memory. When collapsing 4K pages into a 2M page, it
must copy the data from the 4K pages into a physically contiguous 2M page.
Therefore, as long as there exists one poisoned cache line in collapsible
4K pages, khugepaged will eventually access it. The current impact to
users is a machine check exception triggered kernel panic. However,
khugepaged’s compaction operations are not functionally required kernel
actions. Therefore making khugepaged tolerant to poisoned memory will
greatly improve user experience.
This patch series is for cases where khugepaged is the first guy that
detects the memory errors on the poisoned pages. IOW, the pages are not
known to have memory errors when khugepaged collapsing gets to them. In
our observation, this happens frequently when the huge page ratio of the
system is relatively low, which is fairly common in virtual machines
running on cloud.
Solution
========
As stated before, it is less desirable to crash the system only because
khugepaged accesses poisoned pages while it is collapsing 4K pages. The
high level idea of this patch series is to skip the group of pages
(usually 512 4K-size pages) once khugepaged finds one of them is poisoned,
as these pages have become ineligible to be collapsed.
We are also careful to unwind operations khuagepaged has performed before
it detects memory failures. For example, before copying and collapsing a
group of anonymous pages into a huge page, the source pages will be
isolated and their page table is unlinked from their PMD. These
operations need to be undone in order to ensure these pages are not
changed/lost from the perspective of other threads (both user and kernel
space). As for file backed memory pages, there already exists a rollback
case. This patch just extends it so that khugepaged also correctly rolls
back when it fails to copy poisoned 4K pages.
This patch (of 3):
Make __collapse_huge_page_copy return whether copying anonymous pages
succeeded, and make collapse_huge_page handle the return status.
Break existing PTE scan loop into two for-loops. The first loop copies
source pages into target huge page, and can fail gracefully when running
into memory errors in source pages. If copying all pages succeeds, the
second loop releases and clears up these normal pages. Otherwise, the
second loop rolls back the page table and page states by:
- re-establishing the original PTEs-to-PMD connection.
- releasing source pages back to their LRU list.
Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
non-huge anonymous memory buffer.
2. Pick 4 random buffer locations (2 in each thread) and inject
uncorrectable memory errors at corresponding physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from poisoned
pages and skips collapsing them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
data corruption.

Currently, all contexts that flush memcg stats do so with sleeping not
allowed. Some of these contexts are perfectly safe to sleep in, such as
reading cgroup files from userspace or the background periodic flusher.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Refactor the code to make mem_cgroup_flush_stats() non-atomic (aka
sleepable), and provide a separate atomic version. The atomic version is
used in reclaim, refault, writeback, and in mem_cgroup_usage(). All other
code paths are left to use the non-atomic version. This includes
callbacks for userspace reads and the periodic flusher.
Since refault is the only caller of mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(),
change it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(). Reclaim and
refault code paths are modified to do non-atomic flushing in separate
later patches -- so it will eventually be changed back to
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

As Johannes notes in [1], stats_flush_lock is currently used to:
(a) Protect updated to stats_flush_threshold.
(b) Protect updates to flush_next_time.
(c) Serializes calls to cgroup_rstat_flush() based on those ratelimits.
However:
1. stats_flush_threshold is already an atomic
2. flush_next_time is not atomic. The writer is locked, but the reader
is lockless. If the reader races with a flush, you could see this:
if (time_after(jiffies, flush_next_time))
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
which means we already can get flushes at a higher frequency than
FLUSH_TIME during races. But it isn't really a problem.
The reader could also see garbled partial updates if the compiler
decides to split the write, so it needs at least READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE protection.
3. Serializing cgroup_rstat_flush() calls against the ratelimit
factors is currently broken because of the race in 2. But the race
is actually harmless, all we might get is the occasional earlier
flush. If there is no delta, the flush won't do much. And if there
is, the flush is justified.
So the lock can be removed all together. However, the lock also served
the purpose of preventing a thundering herd problem for concurrent

Currently, the only context in which we can invoke an rstat flush from irq
context is through mem_cgroup_usage() on the root memcg when called from
memcg_check_events(). An rstat flush is an expensive operation that
should not be done in irq context, so do not flush stats and use the stale
stats in this case.
Arguably, usage threshold events are not reliable on the root memcg anyway
since its usage is ill-defined.

mem_cgroup_flush_stats_delayed() suggests his is using a delayed_work, but
this is actually sometimes flushing directly from the callsite.
What it's doing is ratelimited calls. A better name would be
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

Patch series "memcg: avoid flushing stats atomically where possible", v3.
rstat flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of
cpus and the number of cgroups in the system. The purpose of this series
is to minimize the contexts where we flush stats atomically.
Patches 1 and 2 are cleanups requested during reviews of prior versions of
this series.
Patch 3 makes sure we never try to flush from within an irq context.
Patches 4 to 7 introduce separate variants of mem_cgroup_flush_stats() for
atomic and non-atomic flushing, and make sure we only flush the stats
atomically when necessary.
Patch 8 is a slightly tangential optimization that limits the work done by
rstat flushing in some scenarios.
This patch (of 8):
cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe() can be a confusing name. It may read as
"irqs are disabled throughout", which is what the current implementation
does (currently under discussion [1]), but is not the intention. The
intention is that this function is safe to call from atomic contexts.
Name it as such.

In __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free(), we will set and check canary.
Assuming that the size of the object is close to 0, nearly 4k memory
accesses are required because setting and checking canary is executed byte
by byte.
canary is now defined like this:
KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN(addr) ((u8)0xaa ^ (u8)((unsigned long)(addr) & 0x7))
Observe that canary is only related to the lower three bits of the
address, so every 8 bytes of canary are the same. We can access 8-byte
canary each time instead of byte-by-byte, thereby optimizing nearly 4k
memory accesses to 4k/8 times.
Use the bcc tool funclatency to measure the latency of __kfence_alloc()
and __kfence_free(), the numbers (deleted the distribution of latency) is
posted below. Though different object sizes will have an impact on the
measurement, we ignore it for now and assume the average object size is
roughly equal.
Before patching:
__kfence_alloc:
avg = 5055 nsecs, total: 5515252 nsecs, count: 1091
__kfence_free:
avg = 5319 nsecs, total: 9735130 nsecs, count: 1830
After patching:
__kfence_alloc:
avg = 3597 nsecs, total: 6428491 nsecs, count: 1787
__kfence_free:
avg = 3046 nsecs, total: 3415390 nsecs, count: 1121
The numbers indicate that there is ~30% - ~40% performance improvement.

Leonardo Bras has noticed that pcp charge cache draining might be
disruptive on workloads relying on 'isolated cpus', a feature commonly
used on workloads that are sensitive to interruption and context switching
such as vRAN and Industrial Control Systems.
There are essentially two ways how to approach the issue. We can either
allow the pcp cache to be drained on a different rather than a local cpu
or avoid remote flushing on isolated cpus.
The current pcp charge cache is really optimized for high performance and
it always relies to stick with its cpu. That means it only requires
local_lock (preempt_disable on !RT) and draining is handed over to pcp WQ
to drain locally again.
The former solution (remote draining) would require to add an additional
locking to prevent local charges from racing with the draining. This adds
an atomic operation to otherwise simple arithmetic fast path in the
try_charge path. Another concern is that the remote draining can cause a
lock contention for the isolated workloads and therefore interfere with it
indirectly via user space interfaces.
Another option is to avoid draining scheduling on isolated cpus
altogether. That means that those remote cpus would keep their charges
even after drain_all_stock returns. This is certainly not optimal either
but it shouldn't really cause any major problems. In the worst case (many
isolated cpus with charges - each of them with MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH i.e 64
page) the memory consumption of a memcg would be artificially higher than
can be immediately used from other cpus.
Theoretically a memcg OOM killer could be triggered pre-maturely.
Currently it is not really clear whether this is a practical problem
though. Tight memcg limit would be really counter productive to cpu
isolated workloads pretty much by definition because any memory reclaimed
induced by memcg limit could break user space timing expectations as those
usually expect execution in the userspace most of the time.
Also charges could be left behind on memcg removal. Any future charge on
those isolated cpus will drain that pcp cache so this won't be a permanent
leak.
Considering cons and pros of both approaches this patch is implementing
the second option and simply do not schedule remote draining if the target
cpu is isolated. This solution is much more simpler. It doesn't add any
new locking and it is more more predictable from the user space POV.
Should the pre-mature memcg OOM become a real life problem, we can revisit
this decision.

The current implementation of the compaction loop fails to set the source
zspage pointer to NULL in all cases, leading to a potential issue where
__zs_compact() could use a stale zspage pointer. This pointer could even
point to a previously freed zspage, causing unexpected behavior in the
putback_zspage() and migrate_write_unlock() functions after returning from
the compaction loop.
Address the issue by ensuring that the source zspage pointer is always set
to NULL when it should be.

A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is
taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory. Further
testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e. if allocating
1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from
10->20->30->etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at
each step. Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the
validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a
migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole
lot of other useless work.
Commit eb14d4eefdc4 ("mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from
pfn_range_valid_contig") removed two checks, one which ignored huge pages
for contiguous allocations as huge pages can sometimes migrate. While
there may be value on migrating a 2M page to satisfy a 1G allocation, it's
potentially expensive if the 1G allocation fails and it's pointless to try
moving a 1G page for a new 1G allocation or scan the tail pages for valid
PFNs.
Reintroduce the PageHuge check and assume any contiguous region with
hugetlbfs pages is unsuitable for a new 1G allocation.
The hpagealloc test allocates huge pages in batches and reports the
average latency per page over time. This test happens just after boot
when fragmentation is not an issue. Units are in milliseconds.

The vanilla kernel is poor, taking up to 1.3 second to allocate a huge
page and almost 10 minutes in total to run the test. Reverting the
problematic commit reduces it to 8ms at worst and the patch takes 26ms.
This patch fixes the main issue with skipping huge pages but leaves the
page_count() out because a page with an elevated count potentially can
migrate.

The maple tree limits the gap returned to a window that specifically fits
what was asked. This may not be optimal in the case of switching search
directions or a gap that does not satisfy the requested space for other
reasons. Fix the search by retrying the operation and limiting the search
window in the rare occasion that a conflict occurs.

Similarly to kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush(), kmsan_ioremap_page_range()
must also properly handle allocation/mapping failures. In the case of
such, it must clean up the already created metadata mappings and return an
error code, so that the error can be propagated to ioremap_page_range().
Without doing so, KMSAN may silently fail to bring the metadata for the
page range into a consistent state, which will result in user-visible
crashes when trying to access them.

As reported by Dipanjan Das, when KMSAN is used together with kernel fault
injection (or, generally, even without the latter), calls to kcalloc() or
__vmap_pages_range_noflush() may fail, leaving the metadata mappings for
the virtual mapping in an inconsistent state. When these metadata
mappings are accessed later, the kernel crashes.
To address the problem, we return a non-zero error code from
kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush() in the case of any allocation/mapping
failure inside it, and make vmap_pages_range_noflush() return an error if
KMSAN fails to allocate the metadata.
This patch also removes KMSAN_WARN_ON() from vmap_pages_range_noflush(),
as these allocation failures are not fatal anymore.

syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves
zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory
allocation requests which do not need to be retried.
One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler.
CPU0
----
__build_all_zonelists() {
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd
// e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment
some_timer_func() {
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) {
__alloc_pages_slowpath() {
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) {
// spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
}
}
}
}
// e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes
write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even
}
This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests. But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this
approach.
Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with
port->lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with
zonelist_update_seq held.

spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq);
}
}
}
This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by
preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
and
preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all()
while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd.
Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a
candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by
disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
and
disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all()
.
As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount
being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced. Although, from
lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) (i.e.
do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is
still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
inside
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq)/write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq)

queue_rcu_work(isw_wq, &isw->work)

// trigger null-ptr-deref
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() traverses &bdi->wb_list to split work into all
wbs. If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be
used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards.
If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference
count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or
wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above.
This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both
sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via
sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize
sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the
possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see
fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from
inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io,
thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and the issue becomes easily reproducible again.
To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to
avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already
been shutdown.

set_mempolicy_home_node() iterates over a list of VMAs and calls
mbind_range() on each VMA, which also iterates over the singular list of
the VMA passed in and potentially splits the VMA. Since the VMA iterator
is not passed through, set_mempolicy_home_node() may now point to a stale
node in the VMA tree. This can result in a UAF as reported by syzbot.
Avoid the stale maple tree node by passing the VMA iterator through to the
underlying call to split_vma().
mbind_range() is also overly complicated, since there are two calling
functions and one already handles iterating over the VMAs. Simplify
mbind_range() to only handle merging and splitting of the VMAs.
Align the new loop in do_mbind() and existing loop in
set_mempolicy_home_node() to use the reduced mbind_range() function. This
allows for a single location of the range calculation and avoids
constantly looking up the previous VMA (since this is a loop over the
VMAs).

split_huge_page_to_list() WARNs when called for huge zero pages, which
sounds to me too harsh because it does not imply a kernel bug, but just
notifies the event to admins. On the other hand, this is considered as
critical by syzkaller and makes its testing less efficient, which seems to
me harmful.
So replace the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO with pr_warn_ratelimited.

code could be overwritten with ENOMEM. Fix the return code by only
setting the error on early loop termination when the error is not set.
User-visible effects include: attempts to run mprotect() against a
special mapping or with a poorly-aligned hugetlb address should return
-EINVAL, but they presently return -ENOMEM. In other cases an -EACCESS

Khugepaged collapse an anonymous thp in two rounds of scans. The 2nd
round done in __collapse_huge_page_isolate() after
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(), during which all the locks will be released
temporarily. It means the pgtable can change during this phase before 2nd
round starts.
It's logically possible some ptes got wr-protected during this phase, and
we can errornously collapse a thp without noticing some ptes are
wr-protected by userfault. e1e267c7928f wanted to avoid it but it only
did that for the 1st phase, not the 2nd phase.
Since __collapse_huge_page_isolate() happens after a round of small page
swapins, we don't need to worry on any !present ptes - if it existed
khugepaged will already bail out. So we only need to check present ptes
with uffd-wp bit set there.
This is something I found only but never had a reproducer, I thought it
was one caused a bug in Muhammad's recent pagemap new ioctl work, but it
turns out it's not the cause of that but an userspace bug. However this
seems to still be a real bug even with a very small race window, still
worth to have it fixed and copy stable.

Looks like what we fixed for hugetlb in commit 44f86392bdd1 ("mm/hugetlb:
fix uffd-wp handling for migration entries in
hugetlb_change_protection()") similarly applies to THP.
Setting/clearing uffd-wp on THP migration entries is not implemented
properly. Further, while removing migration PMDs considers the uffd-wp
bit, inserting migration PMDs does not consider the uffd-wp bit.
We have to set/clear independently of the migration entry type in
change_huge_pmd() and properly copy the uffd-wp bit in
set_pmd_migration_entry().
Verified using a simple reproducer that triggers migration of a THP, that
the set_pmd_migration_entry() no longer loses the uffd-wp bit.

The ->percpu_pvec_drained was originally introduced by commit d9ed0d08b6c6
("mm: only drain per-cpu pagevecs once per pagevec usage") to drain
per-cpu pagevecs only once per pagevec usage. But after converting the
swap code to be more folio-based, the commit c2bc16817aa0 ("mm/swap: add
folio_batch_move_lru()") breaks this logic, which would cause
->percpu_pvec_drained to be reset to false, that means per-cpu pagevecs
will be drained multiple times per pagevec usage.
In theory, there should be no functional changes when converting code to
be more folio-based. We should call folio_batch_reinit() in
folio_batch_move_lru() instead of folio_batch_init(). And to verify that
we still need ->percpu_pvec_drained, I ran mmtests/sparsetruncate-tiny and
