mm: generalise COW SMC TLB flushing race comment

2020-12-29T23:36:49Z

I'm not sure if I'm completely missing something here, but AFAIKS the reference to the mysterious "COW SMC race" confuses the issue. The original changelog and mailing list thread didn't help me either. This SMC race is where the problem was detected, but isn't the general problem bigger and more obvious: that the new PTE could be picked up at any time by any TLB while entries for the old PTE exist in other TLBs before the TLB flush takes effect? The case where the iTLB and dTLB of a CPU are pointing at different pages is an interesting one but follows from the general problem. The other (minor) thing with the comment I think it makes it a bit clearer to say what the old code was doing (i.e., it avoids the race as opposed to what?).

mm: simplify follow_pte{,pmd}

2020-12-16T06:46:19Z

Merge __follow_pte_pmd, follow_pte_pmd and follow_pte into a single follow_pte function and just pass two additional NULL arguments for the two previous follow_pte callers.

mm: unexport follow_pte_pmd

2020-12-16T06:46:19Z

Patch series "simplify follow_pte a bit". This small series drops the not needed follow_pte_pmd exports, and simplifies the follow_pte family of functions a bit. This patch (of 2): follow_pte_pmd() is only used by the DAX code, which can't be modular.

mm: cleanup: remove unused tsk arg from __access_remote_vm

2020-12-15T20:13:40Z

Despite a comment that said that page fault accounting would be charged to whatever task_struct* was passed into __access_remote_vm(), the tsk argument was actually unused. Making page fault accounting actually use this task struct is quite a project, so there is no point in keeping the tsk argument. Delete both the comment, and the argument.

mm/gup: prevent gup_fast from racing with COW during fork

2020-12-15T20:13:39Z

Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected during COW for fork. This means that pages returned from pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin is active. However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write protecting it: CPU 0 CPU 1 get_user_pages_fast() internal_get_user_pages_fast() copy_page_range() pte_alloc_map_lock() copy_present_page() atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0 page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false atomic_set(has_pinned, 1); gup_pgd_range() gup_pte_range() pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep) pte_access_permitted(pte) try_grab_compound_head() pte = pte_wrprotect(pte) set_pte_at(); pte_unmap_unlock() // GUP now returns with a write protected page The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid early COW write protect games during fork()") Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check the read side around gup_pgd_range(). If there is a collision then get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP. Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src mm_struct.

mm: allow a NULL fn callback in apply_to_page_range

2020-10-18T16:27:10Z

Besides calling the callback on each page, apply_to_page_range also has the effect of pre-faulting all PTEs for the range. To support callers that only need the pre-faulting, make the callback optional. Based on a patch from Minchan Kim .

mm: remove src/dst mm parameter in copy_page_range()

2020-10-14T01:38:32Z

Both of the mm pointers are not needed after commit 7a4830c380f3 ("mm/fork: Pass new vma pointer into copy_page_range()"). Jason Gunthorpe also reported that the ordering of copy_page_range() is odd. Since working at it, reorder the parameters to be logical, by (1) always put the dst_* fields to be before src_* fields, and (2) keep the same type of parameters together.
