mm: convert page_add_anon_rmap() to use a folio internally
The API for page_add_anon_rmap() needs to be page-based, because we can add mappings of individual pages. But inside the function, we want to only call compound_head() once and then use the folio APIs instead of the page APIs that each call compound_head().

mm: convert total_compound_mapcount() to folio_total_mapcount()
Instead of enforcing that the argument must be a head page by naming, enforce it with the compiler by making it a folio. Also rename the counter in struct folio from _compound_mapcount to _entire_mapcount.

mm: convert head_subpages_mapcount() into folio_nr_pages_mapped()
Calling this 'mapcount' is confusing since mapcount is usually the number of times something is mapped; instead this is the number of mapped pages. It's also better to enforce that this is a folio rather than a head page. Move folio_nr_pages_mapped() into mm/internal.h since this is not something we want device drivers or filesystems poking at. Get rid of folio_subpages_mapcount_ptr() and use folio->_nr_pages_mapped directly.

mm: add vma_has_recency()
Add vma_has_recency() to indicate whether a VMA may exhibit temporal locality that the LRU algorithm relies on. This function returns false for VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ. While the former flag indicates linear access, i.e., a special case of spatial locality, both flags indicate a lack of temporal locality, i.e., the reuse of an area within a relatively small duration. "Recency" is chosen over "locality" to avoid confusion between temporal and spatial localities. Before this patch, the active/inactive LRU only ignored the accessed bit from VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ. After this patch, the active/inactive LRU and MGLRU share the same logic: they both ignore the accessed bit if vma_has_recency() returns false. For the active/inactive LRU, the following fio test showed a [6, 8]% increase in IOPS when randomly accessing mapped files under memory pressure. kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo) kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024)) modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=$kb dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram0 mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/ swapoff -a fio --name=test --directory=/mnt/ --ioengine=mmap --numjobs=8 \ --size=8G --rw=randrw --time_based --runtime=10m \ --group_reporting The discussion that led to this patch is here [1].

mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount COMPOUND_MAPPED if PMD-mapped
Can the lock_compound_mapcount() bit_spin_lock apparatus be removed now? Yes. Not by atomic64_t or cmpxchg games, those get difficult on 32-bit; but if we slightly abuse subpages_mapcount by additionally demanding that one bit be set there when the compound page is PMD-mapped, then a cascade of two atomic ops is able to maintain the stats without bit_spin_lock. This is harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but I believe safe; and no drift in stats detected when testing. When there are racing removes and adds, of course the sequence of operations is less well- defined; but each operation on subpages_mapcount is atomically good. What might be disastrous, is if subpages_mapcount could ever fleetingly appear negative: but the pte lock (or pmd lock) these rmap functions are called under, ensures that a last remove cannot race ahead of a first add. Continue to make an exception for hugetlb (PageHuge) pages, though that exception can be easily removed by a further commit if necessary: leave subpages_mapcount 0, don't bother with COMPOUND_MAPPED in its case, just carry on checking compound_mapcount too in folio_mapped(), page_mapped(). Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous implementation in all cases (pmds after ptes now taking around 103ms); and relieves us of worrying about contention on the bit_spin_lock.

mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount of PTE-mapped subpages
Patch series "mm,thp,rmap: rework the use of subpages_mapcount", v2. This patch (of 3): Following suggestion from Linus, instead of counting every PTE map of a compound page in subpages_mapcount, just count how many of its subpages are PTE-mapped: this yields the exact number needed for NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED stats, without any need for a locked scan of subpages; and requires updating the count less often. This does then revert total_mapcount() and folio_mapcount() to needing a scan of subpages; but they are inherently racy, and need no locking, so Linus is right that the scans are much better done there. Plus (unlike in 6.1 and previous) subpages_mapcount lets us avoid the scan in the common case of no PTE maps. And page_mapped() and folio_mapped() remain scanless and just as efficient with the new meaning of subpages_mapcount: those are the functions which I most wanted to remove the scan from. The updated page_dup_compound_rmap() is no longer suitable for use by anon THP's __split_huge_pmd_locked(); but page_add_anon_rmap() can be used for that, so long as its VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked) is deleted. Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous implementation for most cases; but significantly faster in the (now scanless) pmds after ptes case, which started out at 870ms and was brought down to 495ms by the previous series, now takes around 105ms.

mm,thp,rmap: handle the normal !PageCompound case first
Commit ("mm,thp,rmap: lock_compound_mapcounts() on THP mapcounts") propagated the "if (compound) {lock} else if (PageCompound) {lock} else {atomic}" pattern throughout; but Linus hated the way that gives primacy to the uncommon case: switch to "if (!PageCompound) {atomic} else if (compound) {lock} else {lock}" throughout. Linus has a bigger idea for how to improve it all, but here just make that rearrangement.

mm,thp,rmap: lock_compound_mapcounts() on THP mapcounts
Fix the races in maintaining compound_mapcount, subpages_mapcount and subpage _mapcount by using PG_locked in the first tail of any compound page for a bit_spin_lock() on such modifications; skipping the usual atomic operations on those fields in this case. Bring page_remove_file_rmap() and page_remove_anon_compound_rmap() back into page_remove_rmap() itself. Rearrange page_add_anon_rmap() and page_add_file_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() to follow the same "if (compound) {lock} else if (PageCompound) {lock} else {atomic}" pattern (with a PageTransHuge in the compound test, like before, to avoid BUG_ONs and optimize away that block when THP is not configured). Move all the stats updates outside, after the bit_spin_locked section, so that it is sure to be a leaf lock. Add page_dup_compound_rmap() to manage compound locking versus atomics in sync with the rest. In particular, hugetlb pages are still using the atomics: to avoid unnecessary interference there, and because they never have subpage mappings; but this exception can easily be changed. Conveniently, page_dup_compound_rmap() turns out to suit an anon THP's __split_huge_pmd_locked() too. bit_spin_lock() is not popular with PREEMPT_RT folks: but PREEMPT_RT sensibly excludes TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE already, so its only exposure is to the non-hugetlb non-THP pte-mapped compound pages (with large folios being currently dependent on TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE). There is never any scan of subpages in this case; but we have chosen to use PageCompound tests rather than PageTransCompound tests to gate the use of lock_compound_mapcounts(), so that page_mapped() is correct on all compound pages, whether or not TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled: could that be a problem for PREEMPT_RT, when there is contention on the lock - under heavy concurrent forking for example? If so, then it can be turned into a sleeping lock (like folio_lock()) when PREEMPT_RT. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 115 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 86ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. Mapping huge pages by ptes is largely unaffected but variable: between 5% faster and 5% slower in what I've recorded. Contention on the lock is likely to behave worse than contention on the atomics behaved.

mm,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling
Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines. Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap. page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case). But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount 0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch. Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

The new hugetlb vma lock is used to address this race: Faulting thread Unsharing thread ... ... ptep = huge_pte_offset() or ptep = huge_pte_alloc() ... i_mmap_lock_write lock page table ptep invalid <------------------------ huge_pmd_unshare() Could be in a previously unlock_page_table sharing process or worse i_mmap_unlock_write ... The vma_lock is used as follows: - During fault processing. The lock is acquired in read mode before doing a page table lock and allocation (huge_pte_alloc). The lock is held until code is finished with the page table entry (ptep). - The lock must be held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called. Lock ordering issues come into play when unmapping a page from all vmas mapping the page. The i_mmap_rwsem must be held to search for the vmas, and the vma lock must be held before calling unmap which will call huge_pmd_unshare. This is done today in: - try_to_migrate_one and try_to_unmap_ for page migration and memory error handling. In these routines we 'try' to obtain the vma lock and fail to unmap if unsuccessful. Calling routines already deal with the failure of unmapping. - hugetlb_vmdelete_list for truncation and hole punch. This routine also tries to acquire the vma lock. If it fails, it skips the unmapping. However, we can not have file truncation or hole punch fail because of contention. After hugetlb_vmdelete_list, truncation and hole punch call remove_inode_hugepages. remove_inode_hugepages checks for mapped pages and call hugetlb_unmap_file_page to unmap them. hugetlb_unmap_file_page is designed to drop locks and reacquire in the correct order to guarantee unmap success.

hugetlb: add vma based lock for pmd sharing
Allocate a new hugetlb_vma_lock structure and hang off vm_private_data for synchronization use by vmas that could be involved in pmd sharing. This data structure contains a rw semaphore that is the primary tool used for synchronization. This new structure is ref counted, so that it can exist when NOT attached to a vma. This is only helpful in resolving lock ordering issues where code may need to obtain the vma_lock while there are no guarantees the vma may go away. By obtaining a ref on the structure, it can be guaranteed that at least the rw semaphore will not go away. Only add infrastructure for the new lock here. Actual use will be added in subsequent patches.

mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap
Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path. This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to (max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm: remember young/dirty bit for page migrations
When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table using either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean. That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure. Not to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some overhead on some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to set the bit. The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is first written after page migration happened. Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the information after the page is migrated. To achieve it, define a new set of bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old pte. Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover the A/D bits even if the page changed. One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect how many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we know the swp offset is big enough to store both the PFN value and the A/D bits. Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before.

mm/khugepaged: record SCAN_PMD_MAPPED when scan_pmd() finds hugepage
When scanning an anon pmd to see if it's eligible for collapse, return SCAN_PMD_MAPPED if the pmd already maps a hugepage. Note that SCAN_PMD_MAPPED is different from SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND used in the file-collapse path, since the latter might identify pte-mapped compound pages. This is required by MADV_COLLAPSE which necessarily needs to know what hugepage-aligned/sized regions are already pmd-mapped. In order to determine if a pmd already maps a hugepage, refactor mm_find_pmd(): Return mm_find_pmd() to it's pre-commit |

mm/rmap: Fix anon_vma->degree ambiguity leading to double-reuse
anon_vma->degree tracks the combined number of child anon_vmas and VMAs
that use the anon_vma as their ->anon_vma.
anon_vma_clone() then assumes that for any anon_vma attached to
src->anon_vma_chain other than src->anon_vma, it is impossible for it to
be a leaf node of the VMA tree, meaning that for such VMAs ->degree is
elevated by 1 because of a child anon_vma, meaning that if ->degree
equals 1 there are no VMAs that use the anon_vma as their ->anon_vma.
This assumption is wrong because the ->degree optimization leads to leaf
nodes being abandoned on anon_vma_clone() - an existing anon_vma is
reused and no new parent-child relationship is created. So it is
possible to reuse an anon_vma for one VMA while it is still tied to
another VMA.
This is an issue because is_mergeable_anon_vma() and its callers assume
that if two VMAs have the same ->anon_vma, the list of anon_vmas
attached to the VMAs is guaranteed to be the same. When this assumption
is violated, vma_merge() can merge pages into a VMA that is not attached
to the corresponding anon_vma, leading to dangling page->mapping
pointers that will be dereferenced during rmap walks.
Fix it by separately tracking the number of child anon_vmas and the
number of VMAs using the anon_vma as their ->anon_vma.

hugetlb: do not update address in huge_pmd_unshare
As an optimization for loops sequentially processing hugetlb address ranges, huge_pmd_unshare would update a passed address if it unshared a pmd. Updating a loop control variable outside the loop like this is generally a bad idea. These loops are now using hugetlb_mask_last_page to optimize scanning when non-present ptes are discovered. The same can be done when huge_pmd_unshare returns 1 indicating a pmd was unshared. Remove address update from huge_pmd_unshare. Change the passed argument type and update all callers. In loops sequentially processing addresses use hugetlb_mask_last_page to update address if pmd is unshared.

mm/rmap: fix dereferencing invalid subpage pointer in try_to_migrate_one()
The subpage we calculate is an invalid pointer for device private pages,
because device private pages are mapped via non-present device private
entries, not ordinary present PTEs.
Let's just not compute broken pointers and fixup later. Move the proper
assignment of the correct subpage to the beginning of the function and
assert that we really only have a single page in our folio.
This currently results in a BUG when tying to compute anon_exclusive,

mm: don't be stuck to rmap lock on reclaim path
The rmap locks(i_mmap_rwsem and anon_vma->root->rwsem) could be contended under memory pressure if processes keep working on their vmas(e.g., fork, mmap, munmap). It makes reclaim path stuck. In our real workload traces, we see kswapd is waiting the lock for 300ms+(worst case, a sec) and it makes other processes entering direct reclaim, which were also stuck on the lock. This patch makes lru aging path try_lock mode like shink_page_list so the reclaim context will keep working with next lru pages without being stuck. if it found the rmap lock contended, it rotates the page back to head of lru in both active/inactive lrus to make them consistent behavior, which is basic starting point rather than adding more heristic. Since this patch introduces a new "contended" field as out-param along with try_lock in-param in rmap_walk_control, it's not immutable any longer if the try_lock is set so remove const keywords on rmap related functions. Since rmap walking is already expensive operation, I doubt the const would help sizable benefit( And we didn't have it until 5.17). In a heavy app workload in Android, trace shows following statistics. It almost removes rmap lock contention from reclaim path.

mm: rmap: fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when unmapping
On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb: 2M and 1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page size specified. When unmapping a hugetlb page, we will get the relevant page table entry by huge_pte_offset() only once to nuke it. This is correct for PMD or PUD size hugetlb, since they always contain only one pmd entry or pud entry in the page table. However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb, since they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with same page table attributes, so we will nuke only one pte or pmd entry for this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page. And now try_to_unmap() is only passed a hugetlb page in the case where the hugetlb page is poisoned. Which means now we will unmap only one pte entry for a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, and we can still access other subpages of a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, which will cause serious issues possibly. So we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() to nuke the hugetlb page table to fix this issue, which already considered CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb. We've already used set_huge_swap_pte_at() to set a poisoned swap entry for a poisoned hugetlb page. Meanwhile adding a VM_BUG_ON() to make sure the passed hugetlb page is poisoned in try_to_unmap().

On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb: 2M and 1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page size specified.

However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb, since they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with same page table attributes. So we will nuke or remap only one pte or pmd entry for this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page, which is not expected for hugetlb migration. The problem is we can still continue to modify the subpages' data of a hugetlb page during migrating a hugetlb page, which can cause a serious data consistent issue, since we did not nuke the page table entry and set a migration pte for the subpages of a hugetlb page. To fix this issue, we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() to nuke a hugetlb page table, and remap it with set_huge_pte_at() and set_huge_swap_pte_at() when migrating a hugetlb page, which already considered the CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb.

mm/shmem: persist uffd-wp bit across zapping for file-backed
File-backed memory is prone to being unmapped at any time. It means all information in the pte will be dropped, including the uffd-wp flag. To persist the uffd-wp flag, we'll use the pte markers. This patch teaches the zap code to understand uffd-wp and know when to keep or drop the uffd-wp bit. Add a new flag ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER and set it in zap_details when we don't want to persist such an information, for example, when destroying the whole vma, or punching a hole in a shmem file. For the rest cases we should never drop the uffd-wp bit, or the wr-protect information will get lost. The new ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER needs to be put into mm.h rather than memory.c because it'll be further referenced in hugetlb files later.

mm: rmap: use flush_cache_range() to flush cache for hugetlb pages
Now we will use flush_cache_page() to flush cache for anonymous hugetlb pages when unmapping or migrating a hugetlb page mapping, but the flush_cache_page() only handles a PAGE_SIZE range on some architectures (like arm32, arc and so on), which will cause potential cache issues. Thus change to use flush_cache_range() to cover the whole size of a hugetlb page.

mm: rmap: move the cache flushing to the correct place for hugetlb PMD sharing
The cache level flush will always be first when changing an existing virtual–>physical mapping to a new value, since this allows us to properly handle systems whose caches are strict and require a virtual–>physical translation to exist for a virtual address. So we should move the cache flushing before huge_pmd_unshare(). As Muchun pointed out[1], now the architectures whose supporting hugetlb PMD sharing have no cache flush issues in practice. But I think we should still follow the cache/TLB flushing rules when changing a valid virtual address mapping in case of potential issues in future.

mm/swap: remember PG_anon_exclusive via a swp pte bit
Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 3: reliable GUP R/W FOLL_GET of anonymous pages", v2. This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP R/W reference (FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_GET) was taken on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP reference lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables. This series focuses on x86, arm64, s390x and ppc64/book3s -- other architectures are fairly easy to support by implementing __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE. This primarily fixes the O_DIRECT memory corruptions that can happen on concurrent swapout, whereby we lose DMA reads to a page (modifying the user page by writing to it). O_DIRECT currently uses FOLL_GET for short-term (!FOLL_LONGTERM) DMA from/to a user page. In the long run, we want to convert it to properly use FOLL_PIN, and John is working on it, but that might take a while and might not be easy to backport. In the meantime, let's restore what used to work before we started modifying our COW logic: make R/W FOLL_GET references reliable as long as there is no fork() after GUP involved. This is just the natural follow-up of part 2, that will also further reduce "wrong COW" on the swapin path, for example, when we cannot remove a page from the swapcache due to concurrent writeback, or if we have two threads faulting on the same swapped-out page. Fixing O_DIRECT is just a nice side-product This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3] under 2): " 2. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_GET) It was discovered that we can create a memory corruption by reading a file via O_DIRECT to a part (e.g., first 512 bytes) of a page, concurrently writing to an unrelated part (e.g., last byte) of the same page, and concurrently write-protecting the page via clear_refs SOFTDIRTY tracking [6]. For the reproducer, the issue is that O_DIRECT grabs a reference of the target page (via FOLL_GET) and clear_refs write-protects the relevant page table entry. On successive write access to the page from the process itself, we wrongly COW the page when resolving the write fault, resulting in a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption. While some people might think that using clear_refs in this combination is a corner cases, it turns out to be a more generic problem unfortunately. For example, it was just recently discovered that we can similarly create a memory corruption without clear_refs, simply by concurrently swapping out the buffer pages [7]. Note that we nowadays even use the swap infrastructure in Linux without an actual swap disk/partition: the prime example is zram which is enabled as default under Fedora [10]. The root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has additional references results in a COW and thereby a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption if two parties believe they are referencing the same page. " We don't particularly care about R/O FOLL_GET references: they were never reliable and O_DIRECT doesn't expect to observe modifications from a page after DMA was started. Note that: * this only fixes the issue on x86, arm64, s390x and ppc64/book3s ("enterprise architectures"). Other architectures have to implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE to achieve the same. * this does *not * consider any kind of fork() after taking the reference: fork() after GUP never worked reliably with FOLL_GET. * Not losing PG_anon_exclusive during swapout was the last remaining piece. KSM already makes sure that there are no other references on a page before considering it for sharing. Page migration maintains PG_anon_exclusive and simply fails when there are additional references (freezing the refcount fails). Only swapout code dropped the PG_anon_exclusive flag because it requires more work to remember + restore it. With this series in place, most COW issues of [3] are fixed on said architectures. Other architectures can implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE fairly easily. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220329160440.193848-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211217113049.23850-1-david@redhat.com [3] https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com This patch (of 8): Currently, we clear PG_anon_exclusive in try_to_unmap() and forget about it. We do this, to keep fork() logic on swap entries easy and efficient: for example, if we wouldn't clear it when unmapping, we'd have to lookup the page in the swapcache for each and every swap entry during fork() and clear PG_anon_exclusive if set. Instead, we want to store that information directly in the swap pte, protected by the page table lock, similarly to how we handle SWP_MIGRATION_READ_EXCLUSIVE for migration entries. However, for actual swap entries, we don't want to mess with the swap type (e.g., still one bit) because it overcomplicates swap code. In try_to_unmap(), we already reject to unmap in case the page might be pinned, because we must not lose PG_anon_exclusive on pinned pages ever. Checking if there are other unexpected references reliably *before* completely unmapping a page is unfortunately not really possible: THP heavily overcomplicate the situation. Once fully unmapped it's easier -- we, for example, make sure that there are no unexpected references *after* unmapping a page before starting writeback on that page. So, we currently might end up unmapping a page and clearing PG_anon_exclusive if that page has additional references, for example, due to a FOLL_GET. do_swap_page() has to re-determine if a page is exclusive, which will easily fail if there are other references on a page, most prominently GUP references via FOLL_GET. This can currently result in memory corruptions when taking a FOLL_GET | FOLL_WRITE reference on a page even when fork() is never involved: try_to_unmap() will succeed, and when refaulting the page, it cannot be marked exclusive and will get replaced by a copy in the page tables on the next write access, resulting in writes via the GUP reference to the page being lost. In an ideal world, everybody that uses GUP and wants to modify page content, such as O_DIRECT, would properly use FOLL_PIN. However, that conversion will take a while. It's easier to fix what used to work in the past (FOLL_GET | FOLL_WRITE) remembering PG_anon_exclusive. In addition, by remembering PG_anon_exclusive we can further reduce unnecessary COW in some cases, so it's the natural thing to do. So let's transfer the PG_anon_exclusive information to the swap pte and store it via an architecture-dependant pte bit; use that information when restoring the swap pte in do_swap_page() and unuse_pte(). During fork(), we simply have to clear the pte bit and are done. Of course, there is one corner case to handle: swap backends that don't support concurrent page modifications while the page is under writeback. Special case these, and drop the exclusive marker. Add a comment why that is just fine (also, reuse_swap_page() would have done the same in the past). In the future, we'll hopefully have all architectures support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE, such that we can get rid of the empty stubs and the define completely. Then, we can also convert SWP_MIGRATION_READ_EXCLUSIVE. For architectures it's fairly easy to support: either simply use a yet unused pte bit that can be used for swap entries, steal one from the arch type bits if they exceed 5, or steal one from the offset bits. Note: R/O FOLL_GET references were never really reliable, especially when taking one on a shared page and then writing to the page (e.g., GUP after fork()). FOLL_GET, including R/W references, were never really reliable once fork was involved (e.g., GUP before fork(), GUP during fork()). KSM steps back in case it stumbles over unexpected references and is, therefore, fine.

Let's mark exclusively mapped anonymous pages with PG_anon_exclusive as exclusive, and use that information to make GUP pins reliable and stay consistent with the page mapped into the page table even if the page table entry gets write-protected. With that information at hand, we can extend our COW logic to always reuse anonymous pages that are exclusive. For anonymous pages that might be shared, the existing logic applies. As already documented, PG_anon_exclusive is usually only expressive in combination with a page table entry. Especially PTE vs. PMD-mapped anonymous pages require more thought, some examples: due to mremap() we can easily have a single compound page PTE-mapped into multiple page tables exclusively in a single process -- multiple page table locks apply. Further, due to MADV_WIPEONFORK we might not necessarily write-protect all PTEs, and only some subpages might be pinned. Long story short: once PTE-mapped, we have to track information about exclusivity per sub-page, but until then, we can just track it for the compound page in the head page and not having to update a whole bunch of subpages all of the time for a simple PMD mapping of a THP. For simplicity, this commit mostly talks about "anonymous pages", while it's for THP actually "the part of an anonymous folio referenced via a page table entry". To not spill PG_anon_exclusive code all over the mm code-base, we let the anon rmap code to handle all PG_anon_exclusive logic it can easily handle. If a writable, present page table entry points at an anonymous (sub)page, that (sub)page must be PG_anon_exclusive. If GUP wants to take a reliably pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page references via a present page table entry, it must only pin if PG_anon_exclusive is set for the mapped (sub)page. This commit doesn't adjust GUP, so this is only implicitly handled for FOLL_WRITE, follow-up commits will teach GUP to also respect it for FOLL_PIN without FOLL_WRITE, to make all GUP pins of anonymous pages fully reliable. Whenever an anonymous page is to be shared (fork(), KSM), or when temporarily unmapping an anonymous page (swap, migration), the relevant PG_anon_exclusive bit has to be cleared to mark the anonymous page possibly shared. Clearing will fail if there are GUP pins on the page: * For fork(), this means having to copy the page and not being able to share it. fork() protects against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and the src_mm->write_protect_seq. * For KSM, this means sharing will fail. For swap this means, unmapping will fail, For migration this means, migration will fail early. All three cases protect against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and a proper clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry. This fixes memory corruptions reported for FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE, when a pinned page gets mapped R/O and the successive write fault ends up replacing the page instead of reusing it. It improves the situation for O_DIRECT/vmsplice/... that still use FOLL_GET instead of FOLL_PIN, if fork() is *not* involved, however swapout and fork() are still problematic. Properly using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET for these GUP users will fix the issue for them. I. Details about basic handling I.1. Fresh anonymous pages page_add_new_anon_rmap() and hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() will mark the given page exclusive via __page_set_anon_rmap(exclusive=1). As that is the mechanism fresh anonymous pages come into life (besides migration code where we copy the page->mapping), all fresh anonymous pages will start out as exclusive. I.2. COW reuse handling of anonymous pages When a COW handler stumbles over a (sub)page that's marked exclusive, it simply reuses it. Otherwise, the handler tries harder under page lock to detect if the (sub)page is exclusive and can be reused. If exclusive, page_move_anon_rmap() will mark the given (sub)page exclusive. Note that hugetlb code does not yet check for PageAnonExclusive(), as it still uses the old COW logic that is prone to the COW security issue because hugetlb code cannot really tolerate unnecessary/wrong COW as huge pages are a scarce resource. I.3. Migration handling try_to_migrate() has to try marking an exclusive anonymous page shared via page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the page, unmap fails. migrate_vma_collect_pmd() and __split_huge_pmd_locked() are handled similarly. Writable migration entries implicitly point at shared anonymous pages. For readable migration entries that information is stored via a new "readable-exclusive" migration entry, specific to anonymous pages. When restoring a migration entry in remove_migration_pte(), information about exlusivity is detected via the migration entry type, and RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is set accordingly for page_add_anon_rmap()/hugepage_add_anon_rmap() to restore that information. I.4. Swapout handling try_to_unmap() has to try marking the mapped page possibly shared via page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the page, unmap fails. For now, information about exclusivity is lost. In the future, we might want to remember that information in the swap entry in some cases, however, it requires more thought, care, and a way to store that information in swap entries. I.5. Swapin handling do_swap_page() will never stumble over exclusive anonymous pages in the swap cache, as try_to_migrate() prohibits that. do_swap_page() always has to detect manually if an anonymous page is exclusive and has to set RMAP_EXCLUSIVE for page_add_anon_rmap() accordingly. I.6. THP handling __split_huge_pmd_locked() has to move the information about exclusivity from the PMD to the PTEs. a) In case we have a readable-exclusive PMD migration entry, simply insert readable-exclusive PTE migration entries. b) In case we have a present PMD entry and we don't want to freeze ("convert to migration entries"), simply forward PG_anon_exclusive to all sub-pages, no need to temporarily clear the bit. c) In case we have a present PMD entry and want to freeze, handle it similar to try_to_migrate(): try marking the page shared first. In case we fail, we ignore the "freeze" instruction and simply split ordinarily. try_to_migrate() will properly fail because the THP is still mapped via PTEs. When splitting a compound anonymous folio (THP), the information about exclusivity is implicitly handled via the migration entries: no need to replicate PG_anon_exclusive manually. I.7. fork() handling fork() handling is relatively easy, because PG_anon_exclusive is only expressive for some page table entry types. a) Present anonymous pages page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared -- which will fail if the page is pinned. If it failed, we have to copy (or PTE-map a PMD to handle it on the PTE level). Note that device exclusive entries are just a pointer at a PageAnon() page. fork() will first convert a device exclusive entry to a present page table and handle it just like present anonymous pages. b) Device private entry Device private entries point at PageAnon() pages that cannot be mapped directly and, therefore, cannot get pinned. page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared, which cannot fail because they cannot get pinned. c) HW poison entries PG_anon_exclusive will remain untouched and is stale -- the page table entry is just a placeholder after all. d) Migration entries Writable and readable-exclusive entries are converted to readable entries: possibly shared. I.8. mprotect() handling mprotect() only has to properly handle the new readable-exclusive migration entry: When write-protecting a migration entry that points at an anonymous page, remember the information about exclusivity via the "readable-exclusive" migration entry type. II. Migration and GUP-fast Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive anonymous page by a migration entry, we have to mark the page possibly shared and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush to make the following scenario impossible: 1. try_to_migrate() places a migration entry after checking for GUP pins and marks the page possibly shared. 2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization 3. fork() converts the "writable/readable-exclusive" migration entry into a readable migration entry 4. Migration fails due to the GUP pin (failing to freeze the refcount) 5. Migration entries are restored. PG_anon_exclusive is lost -> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore. Note that we move information about exclusivity from the page to the migration entry as it otherwise highly overcomplicates fork() and PTE-mapping a THP. III. Swapout and GUP-fast Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive anonymous page by a swap entry, we have to mark the page possibly shared and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush to make the following scenario impossible: 1. try_to_unmap() places a swap entry after checking for GUP pins and clears exclusivity information on the page. 2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization. -> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore. If we'd ever store information about exclusivity in the swap entry, similar to migration handling, the same considerations as in II would apply. This is future work.

mm/rmap: drop "compound" parameter from page_add_new_anon_rmap()
New anonymous pages are always mapped natively: only THP/khugepaged code maps a new compound anonymous page and passes "true". Otherwise, we're just dealing with simple, non-compound pages. Let's give the interface clearer semantics and document these. Remove the PageTransCompound() sanity check from page_add_new_anon_rmap().

mm/rmap: remove do_page_add_anon_rmap()
... and instead convert page_add_anon_rmap() to accept flags. Passing flags instead of bools is usually nicer either way, and we want to more often also pass RMAP_EXCLUSIVE in follow up patches when detecting that an anonymous page is exclusive: for example, when restoring an anonymous page from a writable migration entry. This is a preparation for marking an anonymous page inside page_add_anon_rmap() as exclusive when RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is passed.

mm/rmap: fix missing swap_free() in try_to_unmap() after arch_unmap_one() failed
Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 2: reliable GUP pins of anonymous pages", v4. This series is the result of the discussion on the previous approach [2]. More information on the general COW issues can be found there. It is based on latest linus/master (post v5.17, with relevant core-MM changes for v5.18-rc1). This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP pin (FOLL_PIN) was taken on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP pin lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables. This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3] under 3): " 3. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_PIN) page_maybe_dma_pinned() is used to check if a page may be pinned for DMA (using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET). While false positives are tolerable, false negatives are problematic: pages that are pinned for DMA must not be added to the swapcache. If it happens, the (now pinned) page could be faulted back from the swapcache into page tables read-only. Future write-access would detect the pinning and COW the page, losing synchronicity. For the interested reader, this is nicely documented in |
