Vladimir Davydov 695c608307 memcg: fix memcg_size() calculation
The mem_cgroup structure contains nr_node_ids pointers to
mem_cgroup_per_node objects, not the objects themselves.

Rik van Riel 4eb919825e mm: fix use-after-free in sys_remap_file_pages
remap_file_pages calls mmap_region, which may merge the VMA with other
existing VMAs, and free "vma".  This can lead to a use-after-free bug.
Avoid the bug by remembering vm_flags before calling mmap_region, and
not trying to dereference vma later.

Vlastimil Babka 3b25df93c6 mm: munlock: fix deadlock in __munlock_pagevec()
Commit 7225522bb4 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec" introduced __munlock_pagevec() to speed
up munlock by holding lru_lock over multiple isolated pages.  Pages that
fail to be isolated are put_page()d immediately, also within the lock.

This can lead to deadlock when __munlock_pagevec() becomes the holder of
the last page pin and put_page() leads to __page_cache_release() which
also locks lru_lock.  The deadlock has been observed by Sasha Levin
using trinity.

This patch avoids the deadlock by deferring put_page() operations until
lru_lock is released.  Another pagevec (which is also used by later
phases of the function is reused to gather the pages for put_page()
operation.

Vlastimil Babka c424be1cbb mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered
Since commit ff6a6da60b ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page.  However, when
the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail
pages.

Commit 7225522bb4 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which
contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)).  Sasha Levin found this triggered
using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked
flag.

This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when
PageMlocked flag is unset.  There is still a possibility of race with
THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many
pages to skip.  The race might result in former tail pages not being
skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the
PageTail flags are cleared.

However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which
is to be fixed in a separate patch.

Benjamin LaHaise 8e321fefb0 aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane
The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core
migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking
fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation.
To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter
that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page
being migrated.

While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page
being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent
misbehaviour in the case of races.

In struct page we have enough space to fit long-size page->ptl there,
but we use dynamically-allocated page->ptl if size(spinlock_t) is larger
than sizeof(int).

It hurts 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, where
sizeof(spinlock_t) == 8, but it easily fits into struct page.

Johannes Weiner fff4068cba mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy
Commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant
to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous
and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems.

Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to
make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all
allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the
highest zone in the node.

While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is
obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes -
remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality
over memory utilization.  The original change assumed that
zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it
turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip.

Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to
make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

Johannes Weiner 73f038b863 mm: page_alloc: exclude unreclaimable allocations from zone fairness policy
Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around
open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy").
That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread
out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and
slab.

The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory
allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each
zone.  It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel
allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the
allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason.

Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim
or slab shrinking.

Bisected by Dave Hansen.

Rik van Riel 2084140594 mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range
There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by
mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and
compaction on the other side.

The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets
made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed.

During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page.

This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration
code may come in, and migrate the page away.

When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached
translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the
process.

This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible.
All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush,
or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions
(SPARC).

The basic race looks like this:

CPU A			CPU B			CPU C

						load TLB entry
make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA
			fault on entry
						read/write old page
			start migrating page
			change PTE/PMD to new page
						read/write old page [*]
flush TLB
						reload TLB from new entry
						read/write new page
						lose data

[*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point!

The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that
pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may
still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm.

This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Mel Gorman 0c5f83c23c mm: numa: do not clear PTE for pte_numa update
The TLB must be flushed if the PTE is updated but change_pte_range is
clearing the PTE while marking PTEs pte_numa without necessarily
flushing the TLB if it reinserts the same entry.  Without the flush,
it's conceivable that two processors have different TLBs for the same
virtual address and at the very least it would generate spurious faults.

This patch only unmaps the pages in change_pte_range for a full
protection change.

Mel Gorman 5a6dac3ec5 mm: numa: do not clear PMD during PTE update scan
If the PMD is flushed then a parallel fault in handle_mm_fault() will
enter the pmd_none and do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() path where it'll
attempt to insert a huge zero page.  This is wasteful so the patch
avoids clearing the PMD when setting pmd_numa.

Mel Gorman 67f87463d3 mm: clear pmd_numa before invalidating
On x86, PMD entries are similar to _PAGE_PROTNONE protection and are
handled as NUMA hinting faults.  The following two page table protection
bits are what defines them

	_PAGE_NUMA:set	_PAGE_PRESENT:clear

A PMD is considered present if any of the _PAGE_PRESENT, _PAGE_PROTNONE,
_PAGE_PSE or _PAGE_NUMA bits are set.  If pmdp_invalidate encounters a
pmd_numa, it clears the present bit leaving _PAGE_NUMA which will be
considered not present by the CPU but present by pmd_present.  The
existing caller of pmdp_invalidate should handle it but it's an
inconsistent state for a PMD.  This patch keeps the state consistent
when calling pmdp_invalidate.
