[PATCH 0/2] mm/gup: Fix hugepd for longterm R/O pin on Power

[PATCH 0/2] mm/gup: Fix hugepd for longterm R/O pin on Power

[Peter Xu]

This series should apply to both mm-stable and mm-unstable, I am not sure
whether it's even applicable to apply on mm-stable directly, but perhaps
not urgently needed either.  Anyway, it'll apply to either tree.  It also
means cc stable is not needed even if I had the Fixes attached.

Patch 1 fixes that bug in mm-stable, patch 2 enhances the gup_longterm to
be able to discover such issue.

In general, the previous hugetlb rework [1] on gup-slow introduced an issue
with R/O longterm pin.  Nobody yet found it in either a real report or test
case, probably because our test case doesn't yet cover it (not before patch
2), and it's also a pretty rare path: it only happens with Power longterm
R/O pins on a page cache that is installed as a hugepd read-only.

Please read each of the patch for details.

I retested "./run_vmtests.sh -t gup_test -a" on a Power8 system with a
Power8 VM, with 16MB hugepd hugepd entries installed.  Note that I tested
exactly the same matrix before, but patch 2 will change gup_longterm test,
so it's actually slightly different test carried out, and the new test
(gup_longterm.c, when apply patch 2 only) will hang mm-stable on Andrew's
tree with that 16MB huge page.

Thanks,

[PATCH 1/2] mm/gup: Fix hugepd handling in hugetlb rework

[Peter Xu]

Commit a12083d721d7 added hugepd handling for gup-slow, reusing gup-fast
functions.  follow_hugepd() correctly took the vma pointer in, however
didn't pass it over into the lower functions, which was overlooked.

The issue is gup_fast_hugepte() uses the vma pointer to make the correct
decision on whether an unshare is needed for a FOLL_PIN|FOLL_LONGTERM.  Now
without vma ponter it will constantly return "true" (needs an unshare) for
a page cache, even though in the SHARED case it will be wrong to unshare.

The other problem is, even if an unshare is needed, it now returns 0 rather
than -EMLINK, which will not trigger a follow up FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE fault.
That will need to be fixed too when the unshare is wanted.

gup_longterm test didn't expose this issue in the past because it didn't
yet test R/O unshare in this case, another separate patch will enable that
in future tests.

Fix it by passing vma correctly to the bottom, rename gup_fast_hugepte()
back to gup_hugepte() as it is shared between the fast/slow paths, and also
allow -EMLINK to be returned properly by gup_hugepte() even though gup-fast
will take it the same as zero.

Note: The target commit to be fixed should just been moved into mm-stable,

[PATCH 2/2] mm/selftests: Don't prefault in gup_longterm tests

[Peter Xu]

Prefault, especially with RW, makes the GUP test too easy, and may not yet
reach the core of the test.

For example, R/O longterm pins will just hit, pte_write()==true for
whatever cases, the unsharing logic won't be ever tested.

This patch remove the prefault.  This tortures more code paths at least to
cover the unshare care for R/O longterm pins, in which case the first R/O
GUP attempt will fault in the page R/O first, then the 2nd will go through
the unshare path, checking whether an unshare is needed.

This will mean that GUP-fast never succeeds, which removes quite some testing
coverage for most other tests here.

Note that the main motivation of this test was to test gup_fast_folio_allowed(),
where we had issues with GUP-fast during development.

Would the following also get the job done?

Ah I didn't notice that, as I thought that whitelists memfd ones.

Yes this could work too.

The test patch here doesn't need to rush. David, how about you prepare a
better and verified patch and post it separately, making sure to cover all
the things we used to cover plus the unshare?  IIUC it used to be not
touched because of pte_write() always returns true with a write prefault.

Then we let patch 1 go through first, and drop this one?

Thanks,
