[PATCH v3 0/7] smaps / mm/gup: fix gup_can_follow_protnone fallout

[David Hildenbrand]

This is agains mm/mm-unstable, but everything except patch #6 and #7
should apply on current master. Especially patch #1 and #2 should go
upstream first, so we can let the other stuff mature a bit longer.


Handle the fallout of 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by
gup_can_follow_protnone()") where I accidentially missed that
follow_page() and smaps implicitly kept the FOLL_NUMA flag clear by not
setting it if FOLL_FORCE is absent, to not trigger faults on
PROT_NONE-mapped PTEs.

Patch #1 fixes the known issues by reintroducing FOLL_NUMA as
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT and decoupling it from FOLL_FORCE.

Patch #2 is a cleanup that I think actually fixes some corner cases, so
I added a Fixes: tag.

Patch #3 makes KVM explicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT in the single
case where it is required, and documents the situation.

Patch #4 then stops implicitly setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. But note that
for FOLL_WRITE we always implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults.

Patch #5 cleans up a comments.

Patch #6 improves the KVM functional tests such that patch #7 can
actually check for one of the known issues: KSM no longer working on
PROT_NONE mappings on x86-64 with CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

v2 -> V3:
* "mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT"
 -> Squash one comment removal
 -> Adjust the KSM comment
* smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd()
 -> Move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h

[PATCH v3 1/7] mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT

[David Hildenbrand]

Unfortunately commit 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by
gup_can_follow_protnone()") missed that follow_page() and
follow_trans_huge_pmd() never implicitly set FOLL_NUMA because they really
don't want to fail on PROT_NONE-mapped pages -- either due to NUMA hinting
or due to inaccessible (PROT_NONE) VMAs.

As spelled out in commit 0b9d705297b2 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page
faults from gup/gup_fast"): "Other follow_page callers like KSM should not
use FOLL_NUMA, or they would fail to get the pages if they use follow_page
instead of get_user_pages."

liubo reported [1] that smaps_rollup results are imprecise, because they
miss accounting of pages that are mapped PROT_NONE. Further, it's easy
to reproduce that KSM no longer works on inaccessible VMAs on x86-64,
because pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() also indictaes "true" in
inaccessible VMAs, and follow_page() refuses to return such pages right
now.

As KVM really depends on these NUMA hinting faults, removing the
pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() handling in GUP code completely is not really
an option.

To fix the issues at hand, let's revive FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT
to restore the original behavior for now and add better comments.

Set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT independent of FOLL_FORCE in
is_valid_gup_args(), to add that flag for all external GUP users.

Note that there are three GUP-internal __get_user_pages() users that don't
end up calling is_valid_gup_args() and consequently won't get
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT set.

1) get_dump_page(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting
   faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE and wouldn't have honored NUMA
   hinting faults already.
2) populate_vma_page_range(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting
   faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE on accessible VMAs, so it wouldn't have
   honored NUMA hinting faults already.
3) faultin_vma_page_range(): we similarly don't want to handle NUMA
   hinting faults.

To make the combination of FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT work in
inaccessible VMAs properly, we have to perform VMA accessibility checks in
gup_can_follow_protnone().

As GUP-fast should reject such pages either way in
pte_access_permitted()/pmd_access_permitted() -- for example on x86-64 and
arm64 that both implement pte_protnone() -- let's just always fallback
to ordinary GUP when stumbling over pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone().

As Linus notes [2], honoring NUMA faults might only make sense for
selected GUP users.

So we should really see if we can instead let relevant GUP callers specify
it manually, and not trigger NUMA hinting faults from GUP as default.
Prepare for that by making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT an external GUP flag
and adding appropriate documenation.

While at it, remove a stale comment from follow_trans_huge_pmd(): That
comment for pmd_protnone() was added in commit 2b4847e73004 ("mm: numa:
serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration"), which noted:

	THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration
	entries at a PMD level.  This allows races with get_user_pages

Nowadays, we do have PMD migration entries, so the comment no longer
applies. Let's drop it.

[PATCH v3 2/7] smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd()

[David Hildenbrand]

We shouldn't be using a GUP-internal helper if it can be avoided.

Similar to smaps_pte_entry() that uses vm_normal_page(), let's use
vm_normal_page_pmd() that similarly refuses to return the huge zeropage.

In contrast to follow_trans_huge_pmd(), vm_normal_page_pmd():

(1) Will always return the head page, not a tail page of a THP.

 If we'd ever call smaps_account with a tail page while setting "compound
 = true", we could be in trouble, because smaps_account() would look at
 the memmap of unrelated pages.

 If we're unlucky, that memmap does not exist at all. Before we removed
 PG_doublemap, we could have triggered something similar as in
 commit 24d7275ce279 ("fs/proc: task_mmu.c: don't read mapcount for
 migration entry").

 This can theoretically happen ever since commit ff9f47f6f00c ("mm: proc:
 smaps_rollup: do not stall write attempts on mmap_lock"):

  (a) We're in show_smaps_rollup() and processed a VMA
  (b) We release the mmap lock in show_smaps_rollup() because it is
      contended
  (c) We merged that VMA with another VMA
  (d) We collapsed a THP in that merged VMA at that position

 If the end address of the original VMA falls into the middle of a THP
 area, we would call smap_gather_stats() with a start address that falls
 into a PMD-mapped THP. It's probably very rare to trigger when not
 really forced.

(2) Will succeed on a is_pci_p2pdma_page(), like vm_normal_page()

 Treat such PMDs here just like smaps_pte_entry() would treat such PTEs.
 If such pages would be anonymous, we most certainly would want to
 account them.

(3) Will skip over pmd_devmap(), like vm_normal_page() for pte_devmap()

 As noted in vm_normal_page(), that is only for handling legacy ZONE_DEVICE
 pages. So just like smaps_pte_entry(), we'll now also ignore such PMD
 entries.

 Especially, follow_pmd_mask() never ends up calling
 follow_trans_huge_pmd() on pmd_devmap(). Instead it calls
 follow_devmap_pmd() -- which will fail if neither FOLL_GET nor FOLL_PIN
 is set.

 So skipping pmd_devmap() pages seems to be the right thing to do.

(4) Will properly handle VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP, like vm_normal_page()

 We won't be returning a memmap that should be ignored by core-mm, or
 worse, a memmap that does not even exist. Note that while
 walk_page_range() will skip VM_PFNMAP mappings, walk_page_vma() won't.

 Most probably this case doesn't currently really happen on the PMD level,
 otherwise we'd already be able to trigger kernel crashes when reading
 smaps / smaps_rollup.

So most probably only (1) is relevant in practice as of now, but could only
cause trouble in extreme corner cases.

Let's move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h to discourage future
reuse in wrong context.

[PATCH v3 3/7] kvm: explicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT in hva_to_pfn_slow()

[David Hildenbrand]

KVM is *the* case we know that really wants to honor NUMA hinting falls.
As we want to stop setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT implicitly, set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT whenever we might obtain pages on behalf of a VCPU
to map them into a secondary MMU, and add a comment why.

Do that unconditionally in hva_to_pfn_slow() when calling
get_user_pages_unlocked().

kvmppc_book3s_instantiate_page(), hva_to_pfn_fast() and
gfn_to_page_many_atomic() are similarly used to map pages into a
secondary MMU. However, FOLL_WRITE and get_user_page_fast_only() always
implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults -- as documented for
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT -- so we can limit this change to a single location
for now.

Don't set it in check_user_page_hwpoison(), where we really only want to
check if the mapped page is HW-poisoned.

We won't set it for other KVM users of get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages()
* arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c: not used to map pages into a
  secondary MMU.
* arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c: only used on shared TLB pages with userspace
* arch/s390/kvm/*: s390x only supports a single NUMA node either way
* arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c: not used to map pages into a secondary MMU.

This is a preparation for making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT no longer
implicitly be set by get_user_pages() and friends.

gup/gup_fast") from 2012 documented as the primary reason why we would want
to handle NUMA hinting faults from GUP:

  KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
  faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
  handle_mm_fault.

That is still the case today, and relevant KVM code has been converted to
manually set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. So let's stop setting
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT for all GUP users and cross fingers that not that
many other ones that really require such handling for autonuma remain.

Possible interaction with MMU notifiers:

 Assume a driver obtains a page using get_user_pages() to map it into
 a secondary MMU, and uses the MMU notifier framework to get notified on
 changes.

 Assume get_user_pages() succeeded on a PROT_NONE-mapped page (because
 FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT is not set) in an accessible VMA and the page is
 mapped into a secondary MMU. Once user space would turn that mapping
 inaccessible using mprotect(PROT_NONE), the actual PTE in the page table
 might not change. If the MMU notifier would be smart and optimize for that
 case "why notify if the PTE didn't change", that could be problematic.

 At least change_pmd_range() with MMU_NOTIFY_PROTECTION_VMA for now does an
 unconditional mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
 mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and should be fine.

 Note that even if a PTE in an accessible VMA is pte_protnone(), the
 underlying page might be accessed by a secondary MMU that does not set
 FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT, and test_young() MMU notifiers would return "true".

[PATCH v3 5/7] pgtable: improve pte_protnone() comment

[David Hildenbrand]

Especially the "For PROT_NONE VMAs, the PTEs are not marked
_PAGE_PROTNONE" part is wrong: doing an mprotect(PROT_NONE) will end up
marking all PTEs on x86_64 as _PAGE_PROTNONE, making pte_protnone()
indicate "yes".

So let's improve the comment, so it's easier to grasp which semantics
pte_protnone() actually has.

[PATCH v3 6/7] selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: test in mmap_and_merge_range() if anything got merged

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's extend mmap_and_merge_range() to test if anything in the current
process was merged. range_maps_duplicates() is too unreliable for that
use case, so instead look at KSM stats.

Trigger a complete unmerge first, to cleanup the stable tree and
stabilize accounting of merged pages.

Note that we're using /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages instead of
/proc/self/ksm_stat, because that one is available in more existing
kernels.

If /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages can't be opened, we can't perform any
checks and simply skip them.

We have to special-case the shared zeropage for now. But the only user
-- test_unmerge_zero_pages() -- performs its own merge checks.

Better do the fds check all in main(), e.g. not all callers below considers
negative values, so -1 can pass "if (get_my_merging_pages())" etc.

The two existing callers should be handling it correctly:

if (get_my_merging_pages() > 0)
	-> fail

if (val && !get_my_merging_pages()
	-> fail

Both will pass on negative values, unless I am missing something.

I tried to keep the test working also on older kernels where 
ksm_merging_pages does not exist yet (it's ~1 year old).


Anyhow, if you think it's better to make the test fail on these setups, 
I can change it.

[PATCH v3 7/7] selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: Add PROT_NONE test

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's test whether merging and unmerging in PROT_NONE areas works as
expected.

Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger
an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging.

Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write
(using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE.

Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible
(PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.
