[PATCH v2 00/10] Use generic_file_read_iter() in hugetlbfs

[PATCH v2 00/10] Use generic_file_read_iter() in hugetlbfs

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

This set of patches are separated out from Jane's earlier series.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260617172534.1740152-1-jane.chu@oracle.com/

There's enough potentially controversial things in here that I think
it's worth considering them by themselves.  First, handling hwpoison
in filemap_read().  I want this for shmem as well as for hugetlbfs (a
later patchset, maybe).  Second, handling misses in the pagecache as
holes rather than opportunities to populate the pagecache.

v1 here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260707181713.208282-1-willy@infradead.org/
Sashiko had a lot of valuable feedback on that, and that's all addressed
here except for the things that I don't think are relevant.

[PATCH v2 01/10] mm: Rename folio_contain_hwpoison_page() to folio_has_hwpoison_page()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

This is a better name for this predicate.  Also make the argument const
to allow other callers to be made const.

I find it nice in review if it says No functional change intended.

[PATCH v2 02/10] hugetlb: Mark some function arguments as const

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

These functions do not modify their folio argument, so we can mark them
as being const which will allow for some minor optimisations and let us
mark other function arguments as being const in the future.

[PATCH v2 03/10] filemap: Remove checks in mapping_set_folio_order_range()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

These checks make it impossible to use mapping_set_folio_order_range()
in hugetlb.  They add very little value and can simply be removed.

This one is a bit interesting, This has been useful to me in the past when I
was trying to [1] use mapping_max_folio_order() for force_thp_readahead order.
On arm64 with 64K base PAGE_SIZE HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 (512MB), while
existing MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER was smaller and the cap is what prevents generic
page-cache code from advertising that unsupported 512MB order due to
MAX_XAS_ORDER.

[PATCH v2 04/10] hugetlb: Set mapping folio order

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

hugetlbfs currently uses an fs-specific way to determine the size of
the folios in its page cache.  Thanks to the support of block sizes
larger than page sizes, we now support this as part of the page cache.
It's somewhat more efficient as we have this information directly in the
mapping rather than going from inode->i_sb->s_fs_info.  We can convert
the rest of the hugetlb code to use this at our leisure; this is needed
now so that we can use filemap_get_pages() unmodified.

We are setting mapping_set_folio_order_range(), but mapping_min_folio_order()
and mapping_max_folio_order() will still return 0 if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
is disabled but hugetlb is enabled. I am guessing this will be tackled in
one of the following patches in the series.

[PATCH v2 05/10] memory-failure: Remove raw_hwp_list_head()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

There's no need to hide the llist_head; we can just declare it
directly in struct folio and do away with raw_hwp_list_head().

[PATCH v2 06/10] memory-failure: Prevent UAF in raw_hwp_page list

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Most accesses to the raw_hwp_page list are protected by mf_mutex.
However, the call to folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() in mm/hugetlb.c
does not.  This is probably OK today as this is in the freeing path and
I think all current calls to is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage() hold a
reference to the folio.  However, the next patch will call this function
without holding a reference on the folio, which will expose this race.

Rename the current folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() to
__folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() and wrap it with a new
folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() for the benefit of external callers.

This wrapper can now sleep, but its external caller is the hugetlb free
path.  __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() is reached from
update_and_free_hugetlb_folio(), which has a comment saying
"Defer freeing to avoid using GFP_ATOMIC"

Yeah, Sashiko also pointed this out.

I think I'm going to have to change how we track hwpoison in hugetlb
in order to make this work.  Let me think out loud here:

is_page_hwpoison() can be called without a reference on the folio
containing the page.  The answer can be wrong in this case, but any
UAF must be benign.

Grabbing the mf_mutex inside hugetlb_page_hwpoison() is insufficient
because we can't protect against folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() (the
approach attempted in this patch).

We could add a spinlock for protecting freeing & checking of the list.
That's probably simplest.

It'd be better to protect the list with RCU.  But then we'd need to
put an RCU head inside raw_hwp_page, doubling its size from 2 pointers
to 4.

We could completely change how we do this; instead of having an llist,
we could have an array of 32-bit page indices.  Reallocate it when we
run out, doubling its size each time, and put an rcu head in that.
That'd give us 32-bytes the first time, space for 4 indices, then double
to 64 (space for 12 indices), double again to 128 (28 indices), etc.

We could also RCU-free the folio if it's hwpoisoned.  We'd need to
clear the hugetlb flag before asking RCU to cover up this problem
to ensure that any reader that saw the hugetlb flag set started its
grace period before.

Probably all too much trouble.  I think I'll add a global spinlock.

[PATCH v2 07/10] mm: Handle hugetlb correctly in is_page_hwpoison()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Checking to see whether a page inside a hugetlb folio is hardware
poisoned is more complicated than I realised.  The correct logic was
in is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage().  Make is_page_hwpoison() the
official entry point for "is this page hwpoison", no matter what kind
of folio it belongs to.  Rename is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage() to
hugetlb_page_hwpoison(), and remove the attempt to handle non-hugetlb
folios from it.

[PATCH v2 08/10] filemap: Add hwpoison handling to filemap_read()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

From: Jane Chu <jane.chu@oracle.com>

Add hwpoison handling to filemap_read() such that .read_iter() could
make best effort copying data out of clean pages without risking
MCE in case page cache contains HWpoison.

[PATCH v2 09/10] filemap: Add support for authoritative mappings

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

An authoritative mapping knows about all the folios in the mapping.
If read() finds a missing folio, there's no reason to allocate one and
try to read it because we know it's a zero region of the file.  We can
just call iov_iter_zero() instead.

size and missing folios correctly, so we no longer need a separate

Well, Sashiko pointed out a few different things this time.  Will noodle
on them and produce a v3:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260709184740.1286561-1-willy%40infradead.org

The only one I think is invalid is:

: Does returning 0 here with an empty batch cause an infinite loop in
: filemap_splice_read()?

No, it doesn't, because we don't call splice_read for hugetlbfs.

The rest all seem like legitimate concerns.  If anyone spots anything
else, let me know.  And really what I want from humans is higher level
feedback like "This is the wrong way to handle hwpoison, it should be
done inside copy_page_to_iter()".
