[PATCH 4.12 47/99] dax: fix deadlock due to misaligned PMD faults

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>

commit fffa281b48a91ad6dac1a18c5907ece58fa3879b upstream.

In DAX there are two separate places where the 2MiB range of a PMD is
defined.

The first is in the page tables, where a PMD mapping inserted for a
given address spans from (vmf->address & PMD_MASK) to ((vmf->address &
PMD_MASK) + PMD_SIZE - 1).  That is, from the 2MiB boundary below the
address to the 2MiB boundary above the address.

So, for example, a fault at address 3MiB (0x30 0000) falls within the
PMD that ranges from 2MiB (0x20 0000) to 4MiB (0x40 0000).

The second PMD range is in the mapping->page_tree, where a given file
offset is covered by a radix tree entry that spans from one 2MiB aligned
file offset to another 2MiB aligned file offset.

So, for example, the file offset for 3MiB (pgoff 768) falls within the
PMD range for the order 9 radix tree entry that ranges from 2MiB (pgoff
512) to 4MiB (pgoff 1024).

This system works so long as the addresses and file offsets for a given
mapping both have the same offsets relative to the start of each PMD.

Consider the case where the starting address for a given file isn't 2MiB
aligned - say our faulting address is 3 MiB (0x30 0000), but that
corresponds to the beginning of our file (pgoff 0).  Now all the PMDs in
the mapping are misaligned so that the 2MiB range defined in the page
tables never matches up with the 2MiB range defined in the radix tree.

The current code notices this case for DAX faults to storage with the
following test in dax_pmd_insert_mapping():

	if (pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn) & PG_PMD_COLOUR)
		goto unlock_fallback;

This test makes sure that the pfn we get from the driver is 2MiB
aligned, and relies on the assumption that the 2MiB alignment of the pfn
we get back from the driver matches the 2MiB alignment of the faulting
address.

However, faults to holes were not checked and we could hit the problem
described above.

This was reported in response to the NVML nvml/src/test/pmempool_sync
TEST5:

	$ cd nvml/src/test/pmempool_sync
	$ make TEST5

You can grab NVML here:

The dmesg warning you see when you hit this error is:

  WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 2900 at fs/dax.c:641 dax_insert_mapping_entry+0x2df/0x310

Where we notice in dax_insert_mapping_entry() that the radix tree entry
we are about to replace doesn't match the locked entry that we had
previously inserted into the tree.  This happens because the initial
insertion was done in grab_mapping_entry() using a pgoff calculated from
the faulting address (vmf->address), and the replacement in
dax_pmd_load_hole() => dax_insert_mapping_entry() is done using
vmf->pgoff.

In our failure case those two page offsets (one calculated from
vmf->address, one using vmf->pgoff) point to different order 9 radix
tree entries.

This failure case can result in a deadlock because the radix tree unlock
also happens on the pgoff calculated from vmf->address.  This means that
the locked radix tree entry that we swapped in to the tree in
dax_insert_mapping_entry() using vmf->pgoff is never unlocked, so all
future faults to that 2MiB range will block forever.

Fix this by validating that the faulting address's PMD offset matches
the PMD offset from the start of the file.  This check is done at the
very beginning of the fault and covers faults that would have mapped to
storage as well as faults to holes.  I left the COLOUR check in
dax_pmd_insert_mapping() in place in case we ever hit the insanity
condition where the alignment of the pfn we get from the driver doesn't
match the alignment of the userspace address.
