commit 1105a2fc022f3c7482e32faf516e8bc44095f778 upstream.
In our armv8a server(QDF2400), I noticed lots of WARN_ON caused by PAGE_SIZE unaligned for rmap_item->address under memory pressure tests(start 20 guests and run memhog in the host).

In rmap_walk_ksm, the rmap_item->address might still have the STABLE_FLAG, then the start and end in handle_hva_to_gpa might not be PAGE_SIZE aligned. Thus it will cause exceptions in handle_hva_to_gpa on arm64.
This patch fixes it by ignoring (not removing) the low bits of address when doing rmap_walk_ksm.
IMO, it should be backported to stable tree. the storm of WARN_ONs is very easy for me to reproduce. More than that, I watched a panic (not reproducible) as follows:
page:ffff7fe003742d80 count:-4871 mapcount:-2126053375 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x1fffc00000000000() raw: 1fffc00000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffecf981470000 raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 ffff8017c001c000 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero _refcount CPU: 29 PID: 18323 Comm: qemu-kvm Tainted: G W 4.14.15-5.hxt.aarch64 #1 Hardware name: <snip for confidential issues> Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x22c show_stack+0x24/0x2c dump_stack+0x8c/0xb0 bad_page+0xf4/0x154 free_pages_check_bad+0x90/0x9c free_pcppages_bulk+0x464/0x518 free_hot_cold_page+0x22c/0x300 __put_page+0x54/0x60 unmap_stage2_range+0x170/0x2b4 kvm_unmap_hva_handler+0x30/0x40 handle_hva_to_gpa+0xb0/0xec kvm_unmap_hva_range+0x5c/0xd0
I even injected a fault on purpose in kvm_unmap_hva_range by seting size=size-0x200, the call trace is similar as above. So I thought the panic is similarly caused by the root cause of WARN_ON.

: It looks a straightforward safe fix, on x86 hva_to_gfn_memslot would : zap those bits and hide the misalignment caused by the low metadata : bits being erroneously left set in the address, but the arm code : notices when that's the last page in the memslot and the hva_end is : getting aligned and the size is below one page. : : I think the problem triggers in the addr += PAGE_SIZE of : unmap_stage2_ptes that never matches end because end is aligned but : addr is not. : : } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end); : : x86 again only works on hva_start/hva_end after converting it to : gfn_start/end and that being in pfn units the bits are zapped before : they risk to cause trouble.

: I've tested by myself in arm64 server (QDF2400,46 cpus,96G mem) Without : this patch, the WARN_ON is very easy for reproducing. After this patch, I : have run the same benchmarch for a whole day without any WARN_ONs
