Subject: [PATCH] mm/khugepaged: fix race with folio split/free using temporary
reference
hpage_collapse_scan_file() calls is_refcount_suitable(), which in turn
calls folio_mapcount(). folio_mapcount() checks folio_test_large() before
proceeding to folio_large_mapcount(), but there is a race window where the
folio may get split/freed between these checks, triggering:
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio)
Take a temporary reference to the folio in hpage_collapse_scan_file().
This stabilizes the folio during refcount check and prevents incorrect
large folio detection due to concurrent split/free. Use helper
folio_expected_ref_count() + 1 to compare with folio_ref_count() instead
of using is_refcount_suitable().

Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race
huge_pmd_unshare() drops a reference on a page table that may have
previously been shared across processes, potentially turning it into a
normal page table used in another process in which unrelated VMAs can
afterwards be installed.
If this happens in the middle of a concurrent gup_fast(), gup_fast() could
end up walking the page tables of another process. While I don't see any
way in which that immediately leads to kernel memory corruption, it is
really weird and unexpected.
Fix it with an explicit broadcast IPI through tlb_remove_table_sync_one(),
just like we do in khugepaged when removing page tables for a THP
collapse.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before
Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through
vm_ops->may_split(). This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are
taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our
process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to
be shared again before we actually perform the split.
Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from
__split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens. At that
point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked.
An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts:
1. from hugetlb_split(), holding:
- mmap lock (exclusively)
- VMA lock
- file rmap lock (exclusively)
2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to
call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently
only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock
Backporting note:
This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit
b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that
commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually
also go all the way back.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix uprobe pte be overwritten when expanding vma
Patch series "Fix uprobe pte be overwritten when expanding vma".
This patch (of 4):
We encountered a BUG alert triggered by Syzkaller as follows:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:00000000b4a60fca type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1
And we can reproduce it with the following steps:
1. register uprobe on file at zero offset
2. mmap the file at zero offset:
addr1 = mmap(NULL, 2 * 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
3. mremap part of vma1 to new vma2:
addr2 = mremap(addr1, 4096, 2 * 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE);
4. mremap back to orig addr1:
mremap(addr2, 4096, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, addr1);
In step 3, the vma1 range [addr1, addr1 + 4096] will be remap to new vma2
with range [addr2, addr2 + 8192], and remap uprobe anon page from the vma1
to vma2, then unmap the vma1 range [addr1, addr1 + 4096].
In step 4, the vma2 range [addr2, addr2 + 4096] will be remap back to the
addr range [addr1, addr1 + 4096]. Since the addr range [addr1 + 4096,
addr1 + 8192] still maps the file, it will take vma_merge_new_range to
expand the range, and then do uprobe_mmap in vma_complete. Since the
merged vma pgoff is also zero offset, it will install uprobe anon page to
the merged vma. However, the upcomming move_page_tables step, which use
set_pte_at to remap the vma2 uprobe pte to the merged vma, will overwrite
the newly uprobe pte in the merged vma, and lead that pte to be orphan.
Since the uprobe pte will be remapped to the merged vma, we can remove the
unnecessary uprobe_mmap upon merged vma.
This problem was first found in linux-6.6.y and also exists in the
community syzkaller:
