Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect
the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result
in data loss in the following sequence:
1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the
pmd_t dirty and writeable
2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We
currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected.
3) more mmap writes to the PMD. These don't cause any page faults since
the pmd_t is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean.
4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree
entry was clean.
5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could
still have been in the processor cache, and is lost.
Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in
dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync
operation 2). This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate
page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in
flushes in the fsync that happens in step 4).

4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with
"fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows
PageTables growing.
Commit 953c66c2b2 ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got
merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable
after do_fault_around() has called map_pages().
This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have
to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into
alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly
VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault().
Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need
to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I
cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).
And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.

Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before
we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying
the PTE. This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it
is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success.
Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE
when PTE changed. Practically, there should be no behavioral difference
since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we
return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE. Also note that
VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two
places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only.
Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well
defined and we should probably clean that up.

Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5.
Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches
for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches
enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to
finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the
generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the
series!
This patch (of 20):
To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault
and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully
handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to
remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.

Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information
around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more
information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of
that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it
would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the
generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in
keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault
all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()".
This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions
taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please.
It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to
get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise
VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality. This is necessary as the invocation of
__get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of
this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do
so.
Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced
with the appropriate higher-level replacement -
get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are
referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors
are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.)
This patch (of 2):
Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked().
Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*()
functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a
position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his
ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to
subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing
for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in
the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this
series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds
are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
of fuse in the next development cycle.
The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
since at least Linux v1.0.
Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some
of these fixes"
