mm/damon/sysfs: do not ignore callback's return value in damon_sysfs_damon_call()
The callback return value is ignored in damon_sysfs_damon_call(), which
means that it is not possible to detect invalid user input when writing
commands such as 'commit' to
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/<K>/state. Fix it.

kmsan: fix out-of-bounds access to shadow memory
Running sha224_kunit on a KMSAN-enabled kernel results in a crash in

This occurs when memset() is called on a buffer that is not 4-byte aligned

The bug is that the loop at the end of kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin()
accesses the wrong shadow memory bytes when the address is not 4-byte
aligned. Since each 4 bytes are associated with an origin, it rounds the
address and size so that it can access all the origins that contain the
buffer. However, when it checks the corresponding shadow bytes for a
particular origin, it incorrectly uses the original unrounded shadow
address. This results in reads from shadow memory beyond the end of the
buffer's shadow memory, which crashes when that memory is not mapped.
To fix this, correctly align the shadow address before accessing the 4
shadow bytes corresponding to each origin.

mm/damon/sysfs: use dynamically allocated repeat mode damon_call_control
DAMON sysfs interface is using a single global repeat mode
damon_call_control variable for refresh_ms handling, for all DAMON
contexts. As a result, when there are more than one context, the single
global damon_call_control is unexpectedly over-written (corrupted).
Particularly the ->link field is overwritten by the multiple contexts and
this can cause a user hangup, and/or a kernel crash. Fix it by using
dynamically allocated damon_call_control object per DAMON context.

mm/damon/core: introduce damon_call_control->dealloc_on_cancel
Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix refresh_ms control overwriting on
multi-kdamonds usages".
Automatic esssential DAMON/DAMOS status update feature of DAMON sysfs
interface (refresh_ms) is broken [1] for multiple DAMON contexts
(kdamonds) use case, since it uses a global single damon_call_control
object for all created DAMON contexts. The fields of the object,
particularly the list field is over-written for the contexts and it makes
unexpected results including user-space hangup and kernel crashes [2].
Fix it by extending damon_call_control for the use case and updating the
usage on DAMON sysfs interface to use per-context dynamically allocated
damon_call_control object.
This patch (of 2):
When damon_call_control->repeat is set, damon_call() is executed
asynchronously, and is eventually canceled when kdamond finishes. If the
damon_call_control object is dynamically allocated, finding the place to
deallocate the object is difficult. Introduce a new damon_call_control
field, namely dealloc_on_cancel, to ask the kdamond deallocates those
dynamically allocated objects when those are canceled.

mm: folio_may_be_lru_cached() unless folio_test_large()
mm/swap.c and mm/mlock.c agree to drain any per-CPU batch as soon as a
large folio is added: so collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() just wastes
effort when calling lru_add_drain[_all]() on a large folio.
But although there is good reason not to batch up PMD-sized folios, we
might well benefit from batching a small number of low-order mTHPs (though
unclear how that "small number" limitation will be implemented).
So ask if folio_may_be_lru_cached() rather than !folio_test_large(), to
insulate those particular checks from future change. Name preferred to
"folio_is_batchable" because large folios can well be put on a batch: it's
just the per-CPU LRU caches, drained much later, which need care.
Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from
"mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".

mm: revert "mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch"
This reverts commit 33dfe9204f29: now that collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() is checking ref_count instead of lru, and mlock/munlock do not participate in the revised LRU flag clearing, those changes are misleading, and enlarge the window during which mlock/munlock may miss an mlock_count update. It is possible (I'd hesitate to claim probable) that the greater likelihood of missed mlock_count updates would explain the "Realtime threads delayed due to kcompactd0" observed on 6.12 in the Link below. If that is the case, this reversion will help; but a complete solution needs also a further patch, beyond the scope of this series. Included some 80-column cleanup around folio_batch_add_and_move(). The role of folio_test_clear_lru() (before taking per-memcg lru_lock) is questionable since 6.13 removed mem_cgroup_move_account() etc; but perhaps there are still some races which need it - not examined here.

mm/gup: local lru_add_drain() to avoid lru_add_drain_all()
In many cases, if collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() does need to drain
the LRU cache to release a reference, the cache in question is on this
same CPU, and much more efficiently drained by a preliminary local
lru_add_drain(), than the later cross-CPU lru_add_drain_all().
Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from
"mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration". Note for clean
backports: can take 6.16 commit

mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration
Patch series "mm: better GUP pin lru_add_drain_all()", v2. Series of lru_add_drain_all()-related patches, arising from recent mm/gup migration report from Will Deacon. This patch (of 5): Will Deacon reports:- When taking a longterm GUP pin via pin_user_pages(), __gup_longterm_locked() tries to migrate target folios that should not be longterm pinned, for example because they reside in a CMA region or movable zone. This is done by first pinning all of the target folios anyway, collecting all of the longterm-unpinnable target folios into a list, dropping the pins that were just taken and finally handing the list off to migrate_pages() for the actual migration. It is critically important that no unexpected references are held on the folios being migrated, otherwise the migration will fail and pin_user_pages() will return -ENOMEM to its caller. Unfortunately, it is relatively easy to observe migration failures when running pKVM (which uses pin_user_pages() on crosvm's virtual address space to resolve stage-2 page faults from the guest) on a 6.15-based Pixel 6 device and this results in the VM terminating prematurely. In the failure case, 'crosvm' has called mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on its mapping of guest memory prior to the pinning. Subsequently, when pin_user_pages() walks the page-table, the relevant 'pte' is not present and so the faulting logic allocates a new folio, mlocks it with mlock_folio() and maps it in the page-table.

mm/damon/sysfs: fix use-after-free in state_show()
state_show() reads kdamond->damon_ctx without holding damon_sysfs_lock.
This allows a use-after-free race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
state_show() damon_sysfs_turn_damon_on()
ctx = kdamond->damon_ctx; mutex_lock(&damon_sysfs_lock);
damon_destroy_ctx(kdamond->damon_ctx);
kdamond->damon_ctx = NULL;
mutex_unlock(&damon_sysfs_lock);
damon_is_running(ctx); /* ctx is freed */
mutex_lock(&ctx->kdamond_lock); /* UAF */
(The race can also occur with damon_sysfs_kdamonds_rm_dirs() and
damon_sysfs_kdamond_release(), which free or replace the context under
damon_sysfs_lock.)
Fix by taking damon_sysfs_lock before dereferencing the context, mirroring
the locking used in pid_show().
The bug has existed since state_show() first accessed kdamond->damon_ctx.

mm/vmalloc, mm/kasan: respect gfp mask in kasan_populate_vmalloc()
kasan_populate_vmalloc() and its helpers ignore the caller's gfp_mask and
always allocate memory using the hardcoded GFP_KERNEL flag. This makes
them inconsistent with vmalloc(), which was recently extended to support
GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO allocations.
Page table allocations performed during shadow population also ignore the
external gfp_mask. To preserve the intended semantics of GFP_NOFS and
GFP_NOIO, wrap the apply_to_page_range() calls into the appropriate
memalloc scope.
xfs calls vmalloc with GFP_NOFS, so this bug could lead to deadlock.
There was a report here
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/686ea951.050a0220.385921.0016.GAE@google.com
This patch:
- Extends kasan_populate_vmalloc() and helpers to take gfp_mask;
- Passes gfp_mask down to alloc_pages_bulk() and __get_free_page();
- Enforces GFP_NOFS/NOIO semantics with memalloc_*_save()/restore()
around apply_to_page_range();
- Updates vmalloc.c and percpu allocator call sites accordingly.

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---
The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison
flags of an uninitialized page. So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is
triggered. This can be reproduced by below steps:
1.Offline memory block:
echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state
2.Get offlined memory pfn:
page-types -b n -rlN
3.Write pfn to unpoison-pfn
echo <pfn> > /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn
This scenario can be identified by pfn_to_online_page() returning NULL.
And ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, so we can simply fail if
pfn_to_online_page() == NULL to fix the bug.

percpu: fix race on alloc failed warning limit
The 'allocation failed, ...' warning messages can cause unlimited log
spam, contrary to the implementation's intent.
The warn_limit variable is accessed without synchronization. If more than
<warn_limit> threads enter the warning path at the same time, the variable
will get decremented past 0. Once it becomes negative, the non-zero check
will always return true leading to unlimited log spam.
Use atomic operation to access warn_limit and change condition to test for
non-negative (>= 0) - atomic_dec_if_positive will return -1 once
warn_limit becomes 0. Continue to print disable message alongside the
last warning.
While the change cited in Fixes is only adjacent, the warning limit
implementation was correct before it. Only non-atomic allocations were
considered for warnings, and those happened to hold pcpu_alloc_mutex while
accessing warn_limit.

mm/memory-failure: fix redundant updates for already poisoned pages
Duplicate memory errors can be reported by multiple sources.
Passing an already poisoned page to action_result() causes issues:
* The amount of hardware corrupted memory is incorrectly updated.
* Per NUMA node MF stats are incorrectly updated.
* Redundant "already poisoned" messages are printed.
Avoid those issues by:
* Skipping hardware corrupted memory updates for already poisoned pages.
* Skipping per NUMA node MF stats updates for already poisoned pages.
* Dropping redundant "already poisoned" messages.
Make MF_MSG_ALREADY_POISONED consistent with other action_page_types and
make calls to action_result() consistent for already poisoned normal pages
and huge pages.

mm/damon/lru_sort: avoid divide-by-zero in damon_lru_sort_apply_parameters()
Patch series "mm/damon: avoid divide-by-zero in DAMON module's parameters
application".
DAMON's RECLAIM and LRU_SORT modules perform no validation on
user-configured parameters during application, which may lead to
division-by-zero errors.
Avoid the divide-by-zero by adding validation checks when DAMON modules
attempt to apply the parameters.
This patch (of 2):
During the calculation of 'hot_thres' and 'cold_thres', either
'sample_interval' or 'aggr_interval' is used as the divisor, which may
lead to division-by-zero errors. Fix it by directly returning -EINVAL
when such a case occurs. Additionally, since 'aggr_interval' is already
required to be set no smaller than 'sample_interval' in damon_set_attrs(),
only the case where 'sample_interval' is zero needs to be checked.

mm/damon/core: set quota->charged_from to jiffies at first charge window
Kernel initializes the "jiffies" timer as 5 minutes below zero, as shown
in include/linux/jiffies.h
/*
* Have the 32 bit jiffies value wrap 5 minutes after boot
* so jiffies wrap bugs show up earlier.
*/
#define INITIAL_JIFFIES ((unsigned long)(unsigned int) (-300*HZ))
And jiffies comparison help functions cast unsigned value to signed to
cover wraparound
#define time_after_eq(a,b) \
(typecheck(unsigned long, a) && \
typecheck(unsigned long, b) && \
((long)((a) - (b)) >= 0))
When quota->charged_from is initialized to 0, time_after_eq() can
incorrectly return FALSE even after reset_interval has elapsed. This
occurs when (jiffies - reset_interval) produces a value with MSB=1, which
is interpreted as negative in signed arithmetic.
This issue primarily affects 32-bit systems because: On 64-bit systems:
MSB=1 values occur after ~292 million years from boot (assuming HZ=1000),
almost impossible.
On 32-bit systems: MSB=1 values occur during the first 5 minutes after
boot, and the second half of every jiffies wraparound cycle, starting from
day 25 (assuming HZ=1000)
When above unexpected FALSE return from time_after_eq() occurs, the
charging window will not reset. The user impact depends on esz value at
that time.
If esz is 0, scheme ignores configured quotas and runs without any limits.
If esz is not 0, scheme stops working once the quota is exhausted. It
remains until the charging window finally resets.
So, change quota->charged_from to jiffies at damos_adjust_quota() when it
is considered as the first charge window. By this change, we can avoid
unexpected FALSE return from time_after_eq()

mm/hugetlb: add missing hugetlb_lock in __unmap_hugepage_range()
When restoring a reservation for an anonymous page, we need to check to
freeing a surplus. However, __unmap_hugepage_range() causes data race
because it reads h->surplus_huge_pages without the protection of
hugetlb_lock.
And adjust_reservation is a boolean variable that indicates whether
reservations for anonymous pages in each folio should be restored.
Therefore, it should be initialized to false for each round of the loop.
However, this variable is not initialized to false except when defining
the current adjust_reservation variable.
This means that once adjust_reservation is set to true even once within
the loop, reservations for anonymous pages will be restored
unconditionally in all subsequent rounds, regardless of the folio's state.
To fix this, we need to add the missing hugetlb_lock, unlock the
page_table_lock earlier so that we don't lock the hugetlb_lock inside the
page_table_lock lock, and initialize adjust_reservation to false on each
round within the loop.

mm: fix possible deadlock in kmemleak
There are some AA deadlock issues in kmemleak, similar to the situation
reported by Breno [1]. The deadlock path is as follows:
mem_pool_alloc()
-> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
-> pr_warn()
-> netconsole subsystem
-> netpoll
-> __alloc_skb
-> __create_object
-> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
To solve this problem, switch to printk_safe mode before printing warning
message, this will redirect all printk()-s to a special per-CPU buffer,
which will be flushed later from a safe context (irq work), and this
deadlock problem can be avoided. The proper API to use should be
printk_deferred_enter()/printk_deferred_exit() [2]. Another way is to
place the warn print after kmemleak is released.

mm: slub: avoid wake up kswapd in set_track_prepare
set_track_prepare() can incur lock recursion.
The issue is that it is called from hrtimer_start_range_ns
holding the per_cpu(hrtimer_bases)[n].lock, but when enabled
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS, may wake up kswapd in set_track_prepare,
and try to hold the per_cpu(hrtimer_bases)[n].lock.
Avoid deadlock caused by implicitly waking up kswapd by passing in
allocation flags, which do not contain __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM in the
debug_objects_fill_pool() case. Inside stack depot they are processed by
gfp_nested_mask().
Since ___slab_alloc() has preemption disabled, we mask out
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM from the flags there.
The oops looks something like:

mm: fix accounting of memmap pages
For !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, memmap page accounting is currently done
upfront in sparse_buffer_init(). However, sparse_buffer_alloc() may
return NULL in failure scenario.
Also, memmap pages may be allocated either from the memblock allocator
during early boot or from the buddy allocator. When removed via
arch_remove_memory(), accounting of memmap pages must reflect the original
allocation source.
To ensure correctness:
* Account memmap pages after successful allocation in sparse_init_nid()
and section_activate().
* Account memmap pages in section_deactivate() based on allocation
source.

mm/damon/core: prevent unnecessary overflow in damos_set_effective_quota()
On 32-bit systems, the throughput calculation in
damos_set_effective_quota() is prone to unnecessary multiplication
overflow. Using mult_frac() to fix it.
Andrew Paniakin also recently found and privately reported this issue, on
64 bit systems. This can also happen on 64-bit systems, once the charged
size exceeds ~17 TiB. On systems running for long time in production,
this issue can actually happen.
More specifically, when a DAMOS scheme having the time quota run for
longtime, throughput calculation can overflow and set esz too small. As a
result, speed of the scheme get unexpectedly slow.

mm/kasan: avoid lazy MMU mode hazards
Functions __kasan_populate_vmalloc() and __kasan_depopulate_vmalloc() use
apply_to_pte_range(), which enters lazy MMU mode. In that mode updating
PTEs may not be observed until the mode is left.
That may lead to a situation in which otherwise correct reads and writes
to a PTE using ptep_get(), set_pte(), pte_clear() and other access
primitives bring wrong results when the vmalloc shadow memory is being
(de-)populated.
To avoid these hazards leave the lazy MMU mode before and re-enter it
after each PTE manipulation.

[ 1554.438644] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
This series fixes the above issues and is a pre-requisite for the s390
lazy MMU mode implementation.
test_vmalloc was used to stress-test the fixes.
This patch (of 2):
When vmalloc shadow memory is established the modification of the
corresponding page tables is not protected by any locks. Instead, the
locking is done per-PTE. This scheme however has defects.
kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() - while ptep_get() read is atomic the
sequence pte_none(ptep_get()) is not. Doing that outside of the lock
might lead to a concurrent PTE update and what could be seen as a shadow
memory corruption as result.
kasan_depopulate_vmalloc_pte() - by the time a page whose address was
extracted from ptep_get() read and cached in a local variable outside of
the lock is attempted to get free, could actually be freed already.
To avoid these put ptep_get() itself and the code that manipulates the
result of the read under lock. In addition, move freeing of the page out
of the atomic context.

mm/userfaultfd: fix kmap_local LIFO ordering for CONFIG_HIGHPTE
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE on 32-bit ARM, move_pages_pte() maps PTE pages using kmap_local_page(), which requires unmapping in Last-In-First-Out order. The current code maps dst_pte first, then src_pte, but unmaps them in the same order (dst_pte, src_pte), violating the LIFO requirement. This causes the warning in kunmap_local_indexed(): WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 604 at mm/highmem.c:622 kunmap_local_indexed+0x178/0x17c addr \!= __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx) Fix this by reversing the unmap order to respect LIFO ordering.

mm/slub: avoid accessing metadata when pointer is invalid in object_err()
object_err() reports details of an object for further debugging, such as
the freelist pointer, redzone, etc. However, if the pointer is invalid,
attempting to access object metadata can lead to a crash since it does
not point to a valid object.
One known path to the crash is when alloc_consistency_checks()
determines the pointer to the allocated object is invalid because of a
freelist corruption, and calls object_err() to report it. The debug code
should report and handle the corruption gracefully and not crash in the
process.
In case the pointer is NULL or check_valid_pointer() returns false for
the pointer, only print the pointer value and skip accessing metadata.

mm/mremap: fix WARN with uffd that has remap events disabled
Registering userfaultd on a VMA that spans at least one PMD and then
mremap()'ing that VMA can trigger a WARN when recovering from a failed
page table move due to a page table allocation error.
The code ends up doing the right thing (recurse, avoiding moving actual
page tables), but triggering that WARN is unpleasant:

The underlying issue is that we recurse during the original page table
move, but not during the recovery move.
Fix it by checking for both VMAs and performing the check before the
pmd_none() sanity check.
Add a new helper where we perform+document that check for the PMD and PUD
level.
Thanks to Harry for bisecting.

committing doesn't change the `allow' value.
Add the missing `allow' value update, so committing the filter
persistently changes the `allow' value well.

mm/memory-failure: fix infinite UCE for VM_PFNMAP pfn
When memory_failure() is called for a already hwpoisoned pfn, kill_accessing_process() will be called to kill current task. However, if the vma of the accessing vaddr is VM_PFNMAP, walk_page_range() will skip the vma in walk_page_test() and return 0. Before commit |

mm/damon/core: fix commit_ops_filters by using correct nth function
damos_commit_ops_filters() incorrectly uses damos_nth_filter() which
iterates core_filters. As a result, performing a commit unintentionally
corrupts ops_filters.
Add damos_nth_ops_filter() which iterates ops_filters. Use this function
to fix issues caused by wrong iteration.

mm/debug_vm_pgtable: clear page table entries at destroy_args()
The mm/debug_vm_pagetable test allocates manually page table entries for
the tests it runs, using also its manually allocated mm_struct. That in
itself is ok, but when it exits, at destroy_args() it fails to clear those
entries with the *_clear functions.
The problem is that leaves stale entries. If another process allocates an
mm_struct with a pgd at the same address, it may end up running into the
stale entry. This is happening in practice on a debug kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y, for example this is the output with some extra
debugging I added (it prints a warning trace if pgtables_bytes goes
negative, in addition to the warning at check_mm() function):

[ 2.559022] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:000000002267cc9e type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1
[ 2.559037] BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: -6144
Here the modprobe process ended up with an allocated mm_struct from the
mm_struct slab that was used before by the debug_vm_pgtable test. That is
not a problem, since the mm_struct is initialized again etc., however, if
it ends up using the same pgd table, it bumps into the old stale entry
when clearing/freeing the page table entries, so it tries to free an entry
already gone (that one which was allocated by the debug_vm_pgtable test),
which also explains the negative pgtables_bytes since it's accounting for
not allocated entries in the current process.
As far as I looked pgd_{alloc,free} etc. does not clear entries, and
clearing of the entries is explicitly done in the free_pgtables->
free_pgd_range->free_p4d_range->free_pud_range->free_pmd_range->
free_pte_range path. However, the debug_vm_pgtable test does not call
free_pgtables, since it allocates mm_struct and entries manually for its
test and eg. not goes through page faults. So it also should clear
manually the entries before exit at destroy_args().
This problem was noticed on a reboot X number of times test being done on
a powerpc host, with a debug kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE enabled.
Depends on the system, but on a 100 times reboot loop the problem could
manifest once or twice, if a process ends up getting the right mm->pgd
entry with the stale entries used by mm/debug_vm_pagetable. After using
this patch, I couldn't reproduce/experience the problems anymore. I was
able to reproduce the problem as well on latest upstream kernel (6.16).
I also modified destroy_args() to use mmput() instead of mmdrop(), there
is no reason to hold mm_users reference and not release the mm_struct
entirely, and in the output above with my debugging prints I already had
patched it to use mmput, it did not fix the problem, but helped in the
debugging as well.
