mm/rmap: fix missing swap_free() in try_to_unmap() after arch_unmap_one() failed
Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 2: reliable GUP pins of anonymous pages", v4. This series is the result of the discussion on the previous approach [2]. More information on the general COW issues can be found there. It is based on latest linus/master (post v5.17, with relevant core-MM changes for v5.18-rc1). This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP pin (FOLL_PIN) was taken on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP pin lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables. This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3] under 3): " 3. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_PIN) page_maybe_dma_pinned() is used to check if a page may be pinned for DMA (using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET). While false positives are tolerable, false negatives are problematic: pages that are pinned for DMA must not be added to the swapcache. If it happens, the (now pinned) page could be faulted back from the swapcache into page tables read-only. Future write-access would detect the pinning and COW the page, losing synchronicity. For the interested reader, this is nicely documented in feb889fb40fa ("mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap cache"). Peter reports [8] that page_maybe_dma_pinned() as used is racy in some cases and can result in a violation of the documented semantics: giving false negatives because of the race. There are cases where we call it without properly taking a per-process sequence lock, turning the usage of page_maybe_dma_pinned() racy. While one case (clear_refs SOFTDIRTY tracking, see below) seems to be easy to handle, there is especially one rmap case (shrink_page_list) that's hard to fix: in the rmap world, we're not limited to a single process. The shrink_page_list() issue is really subtle. If we race with someone pinning a page, we can trigger the same issue as in the FOLL_GET case. See the detail section at the end of this mail on a discussion how bad this can bite us with VFIO or other FOLL_PIN user. It's harder to reproduce, but I managed to modify the O_DIRECT reproducer to use io_uring fixed buffers [15] instead, which ends up using FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM to pin buffer pages and can similarly trigger a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption. Again, the root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has additional references results in a COW and thereby a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption if two parties believe they are referencing the same page. " This series makes GUP pins (R/O and R/W) on anonymous pages fully reliable, especially also taking care of concurrent pinning via GUP-fast, for example, also fully fixing an issue reported regarding NUMA balancing [4] recently. While doing that, it further reduces "unnecessary COWs", especially when we don't fork()/KSM and don't swapout, and fixes the COW security for hugetlb for FOLL_PIN. In summary, we track via a pageflag (PG_anon_exclusive) whether a mapped anonymous page is exclusive. Exclusive anonymous pages that are mapped R/O can directly be mapped R/W by the COW logic in the write fault handler. Exclusive anonymous pages that want to be shared (fork(), KSM) first have to be marked shared -- which will fail if there are GUP pins on the page. GUP is only allowed to take a pin on anonymous pages that are exclusive. The PT lock is the primary mechanism to synchronize modifications of PG_anon_exclusive. We synchronize against GUP-fast either via the src_mm->write_protect_seq (during fork()) or via clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry. Special care has to be taken about swap, migration, and THPs (whereby a PMD-mapping can be converted to a PTE mapping and we have to track information for subpages). Besides these, we let the rmap code handle most magic. For reliable R/O pins of anonymous pages, we need FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE logic as part of our previous approach [2], however, it's now 100% mapcount free and I further simplified it a bit. #1 is a fix #3-#10 are mostly rmap preparations for PG_anon_exclusive handling #11 introduces PG_anon_exclusive #12 uses PG_anon_exclusive and make R/W pins of anonymous pages reliable #13 is a preparation for reliable R/O pins #14 and #15 is reused/modified GUP-triggered unsharing for R/O GUP pins make R/O pins of anonymous pages reliable #16 adds sanity check when (un)pinning anonymous pages [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220131162940.210846-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211217113049.23850-1-david@redhat.com [3] https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com [4] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215616 This patch (of 17): In case arch_unmap_one() fails, we already did a swap_duplicate(). let's undo that properly via swap_free().
