The kv*alloc()-family was missing kvcalloc(). Adding this allows for
2-argument multiplication conversions of kvzalloc(a * b, ...) into

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
x86-dax- for-linus pull.
Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
mappings.
Summary:
- DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.
- DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().
- Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform

are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
commit 1c8f422059 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
There was an existing bug inside dax_load_hole() if vm_insert_mixed had
failed to allocate a page table, we'd return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead of
VM_FAULT_OOM. With new vmf_insert_mixed() this issue is addressed.
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite has inefficiency when it returns an error value,
driver has to convert it to vm_fault_t type. With new
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() this limitation will be addressed.

In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to
be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap
page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax
filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the
MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it.
The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a
dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free /
idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to
check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path
we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static
branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary.
Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for
receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific
static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths
can enable.
For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support,
care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure.
However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case
implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

Many places in drivers/ file systems, error was handled in a common way
like below:
ret = (ret == -ENOMEM) ? VM_FAULT_OOM : VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
vmf_error() will replace this and return vm_fault_t type err.
A lot of drivers and filesystems currently have a rather complex mapping
of errno-to-VM_FAULT code. We have been able to eliminate a lot of it
by just returning VM_FAULT codes directly from functions which are
called exclusively from the fault handling path.
Some functions can be called both from the fault handler and other
context which are expecting an errno, so they have to continue to return
an errno. Some users still need to choose different behaviour for
different errnos, but vmf_error() captures the essential error
translation that's common to all users, and those that need to handle
additional errors can handle them first.

proc_pid_cmdline_read() and environ_read() directly access the target
process' VM to retrieve the command line and environment. If this
process remaps these areas onto a file via mmap(), the requesting
process may experience various issues such as extra delays if the
underlying device is slow to respond.
Let's simply refuse to access file-backed areas in these functions.
For this we add a new FOLL_ANON gup flag that is passed to all calls
to access_remote_vm(). The code already takes care of such failures
(including unmapped areas). Accesses via /proc/pid/mem were not

This was assigned CVE-2018-1120.

Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.
0. History
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed.
1. What does this patch do?
This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.
2. Motivation
There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.
o CMA memory utilization
First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage
Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0
If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.
FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.
Useless reclaim:
There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.
Atomic allocation failure:
This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0
It was reported by Aneesh [3].
Useless compaction:
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.
3. Current approach and new approach
Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.
New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.
There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file
cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is
pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.
Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all.

The plan for these patches is to introduce the typedef, initially just
as documentation ("These functions should return a VM_FAULT_ status").
We'll trickle the patches to individual drivers/filesystems in through
the maintainers, as far as possible. Then we'll change the typedef to
an unsigned int and break the compilation of any unconverted
drivers/filesystems.
vmf_insert_page(), vmf_insert_mixed() and vmf_insert_pfn() are three
newly added functions. The various drivers/filesystems where return
value of fault(), huge_fault(), page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() get
converted, will need them. These functions will return correct
VM_FAULT_ code based on err value.
We've had bugs before where drivers returned -EFOO. And we have this
silly inefficiency where vm_insert_xxx() return an errno which (afaict)
every driver then converts into a VM_FAULT code. In many cases drivers
failed to return correct VM_FAULT code value despite of vm_insert_xxx()
fails. We have indentified and clean up all those existing bugs and
silly inefficiencies in driver/filesystems by adding these three new
inline wrappers. As mentioned above, we will trickle those patches to
individual drivers/filesystems in through maintainers after these three
wrapper functions are merged.
Eventually we can convert vm_insert_xxx() into vmf_insert_xxx() and
remove these inline wrappers, but these are a good intermediate step.

Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4 ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB
trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap
device will be freed. So page_mapping() users which may touch the
address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space
from being freed during accessing.
The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture
specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous
pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function. But in some cases
there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff,
for example,
CPU1 CPU2
__get_user_pages() swapoff()
flush_dcache_page()
mapping = page_mapping()
... exit_swap_address_space()
... kvfree(spaces)
mapping_mapped(mapping)
The address space may be accessed after being freed.
But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care
about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be
used. The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures
follows this too. They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and
whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the
dcache immediately. And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap)
to find all user space mappings. While mapping_mapped() and
mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all.
So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping()
is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL
otherwise. All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are
replaced with page_mapping_file().
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify page_mapping_file(), per Mike]
