commit 5abfd71d936a8aefd9f9ccd299dea7a164a5d455 upstream.
Patch series "mm: Rework zap ptes on swap entries", v5.
Patch 1 should fix a long standing bug for zap_pte_range() on zap_details usage. The risk is we could have some swap entries skipped while we should have zapped them.
Migration entries are not the major concern because file backed memory always zap in the pattern that "first time without page lock, then re-zap with page lock" hence the 2nd zap will always make sure all migration entries are already recovered.
However there can be issues with real swap entries got skipped errornoously. There's a reproducer provided in commit message of patch 1 for that.
Patch 2-4 are cleanups that are based on patch 1. After the whole patchset applied, we should have a very clean view of zap_pte_range().
Only patch 1 needs to be backported to stable if necessary.
This patch (of 4):
The "details" pointer shouldn't be the token to decide whether we should skip swap entries.
For example, when the callers specified details->zap_mapping==NULL, it means the user wants to zap all the pages (including COWed pages), then we need to look into swap entries because there can be private COWed pages that was swapped out.
Skipping some swap entries when details is non-NULL may lead to wrongly leaving some of the swap entries while we should have zapped them.
A reproducer of the problem:
===8<=== #define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <stdio.h> #include <assert.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/types.h>
int page_size; int shmem_fd; char *buffer;
void main(void) { int ret; char val;
page_size = getpagesize(); shmem_fd = memfd_create("test", 0); assert(shmem_fd >= 0);
ret = ftruncate(shmem_fd, page_size * 2); assert(ret == 0);
buffer = mmap(NULL, page_size * 2, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, shmem_fd, 0); assert(buffer != MAP_FAILED);
/* Write private page, swap it out */ buffer[page_size] = 1; madvise(buffer, page_size * 2, MADV_PAGEOUT);
/* This should drop private buffer[page_size] already */ ret = ftruncate(shmem_fd, page_size); assert(ret == 0); /* Recover the size */ ret = ftruncate(shmem_fd, page_size * 2); assert(ret == 0);
/* Re-read the data, it should be all zero */ val = buffer[page_size]; if (val == 0) printf("Good\n"); else printf("BUG\n"); } ===8<===
We don't need to touch up the pmd path, because pmd never had a issue with swap entries. For example, shmem pmd migration will always be split into pte level, and same to swapping on anonymous.
Add another helper should_zap_cows() so that we can also check whether we should zap private mappings when there's no page pointer specified.
This patch drops that trick, so we handle swap ptes coherently. Meanwhile we should do the same check upon migration entry, hwpoison entry and genuine swap entries too.
To be explicit, we should still remember to keep the private entries if even_cows==false, and always zap them when even_cows==true.
The issue seems to exist starting from the initial commit of git.
