<content type='text'>
When we do coredump for user process signal, this may be an SIGBUS signal
with BUS_MCEERR_AR or BUS_MCEERR_AO code, which means this signal is
resulted from ECC memory fail like SRAR or SRAO, we expect the memory
recovery work is finished correctly, then the get_dump_page() will not
return the error page as its process pte is set invalid by
memory_failure().

But memory_failure() may fail, and the process's related pte may not be
correctly set invalid, for current code, we will return the poison page,
get it dumped, and then lead to system panic as its in kernel code.

So check the poison status in get_dump_page(), and if TRUE, return NULL.

There maybe other scenario that is also better to check the posion status
and not to panic, so make a wrapper for this check, Thanks to David's
suggestion(&lt;david@redhat.com&gt;).

<title>mm/hugetlb: grab head page refcount once for group of subpages</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements", v2.

While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last
patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page()
which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages().

The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies up
storing the subpages/vmas.  Both together bring the cost of slow variant
of gup() cost from ~87.6k usecs to ~5.8k usecs.

libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks with hugetlbfs
vmas.

This patch (of 2):

follow_hugetlb_page() once it locks the pmd/pud, checks all its N subpages
in a huge page and grabs a reference for each one.  Similar to gup-fast,
have follow_hugetlb_page() grab the head page refcount only after counting
all its subpages that are part of the just faulted huge page.

Consequently we reduce the number of atomics necessary to pin said huge
page, which improves non-fast gup() considerably:

  - 16G with 1G huge page size
  gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w

PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: ~87.6k us -&gt; ~12.8k us

Kernel-doc markups should use this format:
        identifier - description

Fix some issues on mm files:

1) The definition for get_user_pages_locked() doesn't follow it.  Also,
   it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one,
   after the parameters.  Fix it.

2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below
   the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it.  So, move
   get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place.

3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected
   kernel-doc format.

While here, fix a few minor English syntax issues, as suggested
by Matthew:

<title>mm/gup: combine put_compound_head() and unpin_user_page()</title>

These functions accomplish the same thing but have different
implementations.

unpin_user_page() has a bug where it calls mod_node_page_state() after
calling put_page() which creates a risk that the page could have been
hot-uplugged from the system.

Fix this by using put_compound_head() as the only implementation.

__unpin_devmap_managed_user_page() and related can be deleted as well in
favour of the simpler, but slower, version in put_compound_head() that has
an extra atomic page_ref_sub, but always calls put_page() which internally
contains the special devmap code.

Move put_compound_head() to be directly after try_grab_compound_head() so
people can find it in future.

<title>mm/gup: remove the vma allocation from gup_longterm_locked()</title>

Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by
post-processing the VMA list.

These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before
processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is
encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM.

Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many
call sites.

Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged
when DAX is compiled out.

Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already
makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and
memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.

when DAX is compiled out.

Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already
makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and
memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.

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

<content type='text'>
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.

Patch series "Add a seqcount between gup_fast and copy_page_range()", v4.

As discussed and suggested by Linus use a seqcount to close the small race
between gup_fast and copy_page_range().

Ahmed confirms that raw_write_seqcount_begin() is the correct API to use
in this case and it doesn't trigger any lockdeps.

I was able to test it using two threads, one forking and the other using
ibv_reg_mr() to trigger GUP fast.  Modifying copy_page_range() to sleep
made the window large enough to reliably hit to test the logic.

This patch (of 2):

The next patch in this series makes the lockless flow a little more
complex, so move the entire block into a new function and remove a level
of indention.  Tidy a bit of cruft:

 - addr is always the same as start, so use start

 - Use the modern check_add_overflow() for computing end = start + len

 - nr_pinned/pages &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT needs the LHS to be unsigned long to
   avoid shift overflow, make the variables unsigned long to avoid coding
   casts in both places. nr_pinned was missing its cast

 - The handling of ret and nr_pinned can be streamlined a bit

No functional change.

<title>mm/gup: use unpin_user_pages() in __gup_longterm_locked()</title>

When FOLL_PIN is passed to __get_user_pages() the page list must be put
back using unpin_user_pages() otherwise the page pin reference persists
in a corrupted state.

There are two places in the unwind of __gup_longterm_locked() that put
the pages back without checking.  Normally on error this function would
return the partial page list making this the caller's responsibility,
but in these two cases the caller is not allowed to see these pages at
all.
