[PATCH v2 1/4] mm/shmem, swap: improve cached mTHP handling and fix potential hung

by Kairui Song

From: Kairui Song <kasong(a)tencent.com> The current swap-in code assumes that, when a swap entry in shmem mapping is order 0, its cached folios (if present) must be order 0 too, which turns out not always correct. The problem is shmem_split_large_entry is called before verifying the folio will eventually be swapped in, one possible race is: CPU1 CPU2 shmem_swapin_folio /* swap in of order > 0 swap entry S1 */ folio = swap_cache_get_folio /* folio = NULL */ order = xa_get_order /* order > 0 */ folio = shmem_swap_alloc_folio /* mTHP alloc failure, folio = NULL */ <... Interrupted ...> shmem_swapin_folio /* S1 is swapped in */ shmem_writeout /* S1 is swapped out, folio cached */ shmem_split_large_entry(..., S1) /* S1 is split, but the folio covering it has order > 0 now */ Now any following swapin of S1 will hang: `xa_get_order` returns 0, and folio lookup will return a folio with order > 0. The `xa_get_order(&mapping->i_pages, index) != folio_order(folio)` will always return false causing swap-in to return -EEXIST. And this looks fragile. So fix this up by allowing seeing a larger folio in swap cache, and check the whole shmem mapping range covered by the swapin have the right swap value upon inserting the folio. And drop the redundant tree walks before the insertion. This will actually improve the performance, as it avoided two redundant Xarray tree walks in the hot path, and the only side effect is that in the failure path, shmem may redundantly reallocate a few folios causing temporary slight memory pressure. And worth noting, it may seems the order and value check before inserting might help reducing the lock contention, which is not true. The swap cache layer ensures raced swapin will either see a swap cache folio or failed to do a swapin (we have SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit even if swap cache is bypassed), so holding the folio lock and checking the folio flag is already good enough for avoiding the lock contention. The chance that a folio passes the swap entry value check but the shmem mapping slot has changed should be very low.

[PATCH v2] lib/alloc_tag: do not acquire non-existent lock in alloc_tag_top_users()

by Harry Yoo

alloc_tag_top_users() attempts to lock alloc_tag_cttype->mod_lock even when the alloc_tag_cttype is not allocated because: 1) alloc tagging is disabled because mem profiling is disabled (!alloc_tag_cttype) 2) alloc tagging is enabled, but not yet initialized (!alloc_tag_cttype) 3) alloc tagging is enabled, but failed initialization (!alloc_tag_cttype or IS_ERR(alloc_tag_cttype)) In all cases, alloc_tag_cttype is not allocated, and therefore alloc_tag_top_users() should not attempt to acquire the semaphore. This leads to a crash on memory allocation failure by attempting to acquire a non-existent semaphore: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000001b: 0000 [#3] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000d8-0x00000000000000df] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Tainted: G D 6.16.0-rc2 #1 VOLUNTARY Tainted: [D]=DIE Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:down_read_trylock+0xaa/0x3b0 Code: d0 7c 08 84 d2 0f 85 a0 02 00 00 8b 0d df 31 dd 04 85 c9 75 29 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 8d 6b 68 48 89 ea 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 88 02 00 00 48 3b 5b 68 0f 85 53 01 00 00 65 ff RSP: 0000:ffff8881002ce9b8 EFLAGS: 00010016 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000070 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000001b RSI: 000000000000000a RDI: 0000000000000070 RBP: 00000000000000d8 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffed107dde49d1 R10: ffff8883eef24e8b R11: ffff8881002cec20 R12: 1ffff11020059d37 R13: 00000000003fff7b R14: ffff8881002cec20 R15: dffffc0000000000 FS: 00007f963f21d940(0000) GS:ffff888458ca6000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f963f5edf71 CR3: 000000010672c000 CR4: 0000000000350ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> codetag_trylock_module_list+0xd/0x20 alloc_tag_top_users+0x369/0x4b0 __show_mem+0x1cd/0x6e0 warn_alloc+0x2b1/0x390 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x12b9/0x21a0 alloc_pages_mpol+0x135/0x3e0 alloc_slab_page+0x82/0xe0 new_slab+0x212/0x240 ___slab_alloc+0x82a/0xe00 </TASK> As David Wang points out, this issue became easier to trigger after commit 780138b12381 ("alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init"). Before the commit, the issue occurred only when it failed to allocate and initialize alloc_tag_cttype or if a memory allocation fails before alloc_tag_init() is called. After the commit, it can be easily triggered when memory profiling is compiled but disabled at boot. To properly determine whether alloc_tag_init() has been called and its data structures initialized, verify that alloc_tag_cttype is a valid pointer before acquiring the semaphore. If the variable is NULL or an error value, it has not been properly initialized. In such a case, just skip and do not attempt acquire the semaphore.

The ptdump code can race with concurrent modifications of the kernel page tables. When leaf entries are modified concurrently, the dump code may log stale or inconsistent information for a VA range, but this is otherwise not harmful. But when intermediate levels of kernel page table are freed, the dump code will continue to use memory that has been freed and potentially reallocated for another purpose. In such cases, the ptdump code may dereference bogus addresses, leading to a number of potential problems. To avoid the above mentioned race condition, platforms such as arm64, riscv and s390 take memory hotplug lock, while dumping kernel page table via the sysfs interface /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables. Similar race condition exists while checking for pages that might have been marked W+X via /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables/check_wx_pages which in turn calls ptdump_check_wx(). Instead of solving this race condition again, let's just move the memory hotplug lock inside generic ptdump_check_wx() which will benefit both the scenarios. Drop get_online_mems() and put_online_mems() combination from all existing platform ptdump code paths.

This patchset aims to give some love to the hugetlb faulting path, doing so by removing obsolete comments that are no longer true, sorting out the folio lock, and changing the mechanism we use to determine whether we are COWing a private mapping already. The most important patch of the series is #1, as it fixes a deadlock that was described in [1], where two processes were holding the same lock for the folio in the pagecache, and then deadlocked in the mutex. Looking up and locking the folio in the pagecache was done to check whether that folio was the same folio we had mapped in our pagetables, meaning that if it was different we knew that we already mapped that folio privately, so any further CoW would be made on a private mapping, which lead us to the question: __Was the reservation for that address consumed?__ That is all we care about, because if it was indeed consumed and we are the owner and we cannot allocate more folios, we need to unmap the folio from the processes pagetables and make it exclusive for us. We figured we do not need to look up the folio at all, and it is just enough to check whether the folio we have mapped is anonymous, which means we mapped it privately, so the reservation was indeed consumed. Patch #2 sorts out folio locking in the faulting path, reducing the scope of it ,only taking it when we are dealing with an anonymous folio and document it. More details in the patch. Patches #3-5 are cleanups. hugetlb_wp() checks whether the process is trying to COW on a private mapping in order to know whether the reservation for that address was already consumed or not. If it was consumed and we are the ownner of the mapping, the folio will have to be unmapped from the other processes. Currently, that check is done by looking up the folio in the pagecache and comparing it to the folio which is mapped in our pagetables. If it differs, it means we already mapped it privately before, consuming a reservation on the way. All we are interested in is whether the mapped folio is anonymous, so we can simplify and check for that instead. Also, we transition from a trylock to a folio_lock, since the former was only needed when hugetlb_fault() had to lock both folios, in order to avoid deadlock.

[PATCH v3] net/9p: Fix buffer overflow in USB transport layer

by Dominique Martinet via B4 Relay

From: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus(a)codewreck.org> A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the USB 9pfs transport layer where inconsistent size validation between packet header parsing and actual data copying allows a malicious USB host to overflow heap buffers. The issue occurs because: - usb9pfs_rx_header() validates only the declared size in packet header - usb9pfs_rx_complete() uses req->actual (actual received bytes) for memcpy This allows an attacker to craft packets with small declared size (bypassing validation) but large actual payload (triggering overflow in memcpy). Add validation in usb9pfs_rx_complete() to ensure req->actual does not exceed the buffer capacity before copying data.

Backport of `Kunit to check the longest symbol length` to 6.12

by Sergio González Collado

Hello, Please consider applying the following commits for 6.12.y: c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol length") f710202b2a45 ("x86/tools: Drop duplicate unlikely() definition in insn_decoder_test.c") They should apply cleanly. Those two commits implement a kunit test to verify that a symbol with KSYM_NAME_LEN of 512 can be read. The first commit implements the test. This commit also includes a fix for the test x86/insn_decoder_test. In the case a symbol exceeds the symbol length limit, an error will happen: arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: error: malformed line 1152000: tBb_+0xf2> ..which overflowed by 10 characters reading this line: ffffffff81458193: 74 3d je ffffffff814581d2 <_RNvXse_NtNtNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_4core4iter8adapters7flattenINtB5_13FlattenCompatINtNtB7_3map3MapNtNtNtBb_3str4iter5CharsNtB1v_17CharEscapeDefaultENtNtBb_4char13EscapeDefaultENtNtBb_3fmt5Debug3fmtBb_+0xf2> The fix was proposed in [1] and initially mentioned at [2]. The second commit fixes a warning when building with clang because there was a definition of unlikely from compiler.h in tools/include/linux, which conflicted with the one in the instruction decoder selftest.
