Hugh Dickins diagnosed this as a migration bug caused by code introduced
to use i_mmap_rwsem for pmd sharing synchronization. Specifically, the
routine unmap_and_move_huge_page() is always passing the TTU_RMAP_LOCKED
flag to try_to_unmap() while holding i_mmap_rwsem. This is wrong for
anon pages as the anon_vma_lock should be held in this case. Further
analysis suggested that i_mmap_rwsem was not required to he held at all
when calling try_to_unmap for anon pages as an anon page could never be
part of a shared pmd mapping.
Discussion also revealed that the hack in hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write
to drop page lock and acquire i_mmap_rwsem is wrong. There is no way to
keep mapping valid while dropping page lock.
This patch does the following:
- Do not take i_mmap_rwsem and set TTU_RMAP_LOCKED for anon pages when
calling try_to_unmap.
- Remove the hacky code in hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write. The routine
will now simply do a 'trylock' while still holding the page lock. If
the trylock fails, it will return NULL. This could impact the
callers:
- migration calling code will receive -EAGAIN and retry up to the
hard coded limit (10).
- memory error code will treat the page as BUSY. This will force
killing (SIGKILL) instead of SIGBUS any mapping tasks.
Do note that this change in behavior only happens when there is a
race. None of the standard kernel testing suites actually hit this
race, but it is possible.

Aristeu Rozanski reported that a customer test case started to report
-EBUSY after the hwpoison rework patchset.
There is a race window between spotting a free page and taking it off its
buddy freelist, so it might be that by the time we try to take it off, the
page has been already allocated.
This patch tries to handle such race window by trying to handle the new
type of page again if the page was allocated under us.

Soft offlining could fail with EIO due to the race condition with hugepage
migration. This issuse became visible due to the change by previous patch
that makes soft offline handler take page refcount by its own. We have no
way to directly pin zero refcount page, and the page considered as a zero
refcount page could be allocated just after the first check.
This patch adds the second check to find the race and gives us chance to
handle it more reliably.

memory_failure() is supposed to call action_result() when it handles a
memory error event, but there's one missing case. So let's add it.
I find that include/ras/ras_event.h has some other MF_MSG_* undefined, so
this patch also adds them.

Currently, there is an inconsistency when calling soft-offline from
different paths on a page that is already poisoned.
1) madvise:
madvise_inject_error skips any poisoned page and continues
the loop.
If that was the only page to madvise, it returns 0.
2) /sys/devices/system/memory/:
When calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page(),
we return -EBUSY in case the page is already poisoned.
This is inconsistent with a) the above example and b)
memory_failure, where we return 0 if the page was poisoned.
Fix this by dropping the PageHWPoison() check in madvise_inject_error, and
let soft_offline_page return 0 if it finds the page already poisoned.
Please, note that this represents a user-api change, since now the return
error when calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page() will be
different.

This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages. Until
now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that
the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and
would skip that page.
This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like
compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist.
Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the
buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that
are ready and meant to be used as such.
Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages
we can soft offline.
- Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages)
- Hugetlb
- Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited)
* Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP)
- If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate
then by means of invalidate_inode_page().
- If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance.
Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths. Instead, we
keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right
handling.
page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page.
Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in
free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages
do not end up in any pcplist/freelist.
After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment
the poisoned pages counter.
If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can
always do what we do for free pages:
- wait until the page hits buddy's freelists
- take it off, and flag it
The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an
allocation, so by the time we want to take the page off the buddy, the
page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it.
But the user could always retry it.
* Hugetlb pages
- We isolate-and-migrate them
After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page,
and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed.
Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though.
While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an
allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional
and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other
places).
So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail
normally if the page we allocated in the meantime.
We can always build on top of this.
As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer
need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned
pages to end up in pcplists.

When trying to soft-offline a free page, we need to first take it off the
buddy allocator. Once we know is out of reach, we can safely flag it as
poisoned.
take_page_off_buddy will be used to take a page meant to be poisoned off
the buddy allocator. take_page_off_buddy calls break_down_buddy_pages,
which splits a higher-order page in case our page belongs to one.
Once the page is under our control, we call page_handle_poison to set it
as poisoned and grab a refcount on it.

Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offline rework", v7.
This patchset fixes a couple of issues that the patchset Naoya sent [1]
contained due to rebasing problems and a misunterdansting.
Main focus of this series is to stabilize soft offline. Historically soft
offlined pages have suffered from racy conditions because PageHWPoison is
used to a little too aggressively, which (directly or indirectly) invades
other mm code which cares little about hwpoison. This results in
unexpected behavior or kernel panic, which is very far from soft offline's
"do not disturb userspace or other kernel component" policy. An example
of this can be found here [2].
Along with several cleanups, this code refactors and changes the way soft
offline work. Main point of this change set is to contain target page
"via buddy allocator" or in migrating path. For ther former we first free
the target page as we do for normal pages, and once it has reached buddy
and it has been taken off the freelists, we flag it as HWpoison. For the
latter we never get to release the page in unmap_and_move, so the page is
under our control and we can handle it in hwpoison code.
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11704083/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190826104144.GA7849@linux/T/#u
This patch (of 14):
Drop the PageHuge check, which is dead code since memory_failure() forks
into memory_failure_hugetlb() for hugetlb pages.
memory_failure() and memory_failure_hugetlb() shares some functions like
hwpoison_user_mappings() and identify_page_state(), so they should
properly handle 4kB page, thp, and hugetlb.

There are some similar functions for migration target allocation. Since
there is no fundamental difference, it's better to keep just one rather
than keeping all variants. This patch implements base migration target
allocation function. In the following patches, variants will be converted
to use this function.
Changes should be mechanical, but, unfortunately, there are some
differences. First, some callers' nodemask is assgined to NULL since NULL
nodemask will be considered as all available nodes, that is,
&node_states[N_MEMORY]. Second, for hugetlb page allocation, gfp_mask is
redefined as regular hugetlb allocation gfp_mask plus __GFP_THISNODE if
user provided gfp_mask has it. This is because future caller of this
function requires to set this node constaint. Lastly, if provided nodeid
is NUMA_NO_NODE, nodeid is set up to the node where migration source
lives. It helps to remove simple wrappers for setting up the nodeid.

Action Required memory error should happen only when a processor is
about to access to a corrupted memory, so it's synchronous and only
affects current process/thread.
Recently commit 872e9a205c84 ("mm, memory_failure: don't send
BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error") fixed the issue that Action
Required memory could unnecessarily send SIGBUS to the processes which
share the error memory. But we still have another issue that we could
send SIGBUS to a wrong thread.
This is because collect_procs() and task_early_kill() fails to add the
current process to "to-kill" list. So this patch is suggesting to fix
it. With this fix, SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) is never sent to non-current
process/thread.

vm.memory_failure_early_kill
Patch series "hwpoison: fixes signaling on memory error"
This is a small patchset to solve issues in memory error handler to send
SIGBUS to proper process/thread as expected in configuration. Please
see descriptions in individual patches for more details.
This patch (of 2):
Early-kill policy is controlled from two types of settings, one is
per-process setting prctl(PR_MCE_KILL) and the other is system-wide
setting vm.memory_failure_early_kill. Users expect per-process setting
to override system-wide setting as many other settings do, but
early-kill setting doesn't work as such.
For example, if a system configures vm.memory_failure_early_kill to 1
(enabled), a process receives SIGBUS even if it's configured to
explicitly disable PF_MCE_KILL by prctl(). That's not desirable for
applications with their own policies.
This patch is suggesting to change the priority of these two types of
settings, by checking sysctl_memory_failure_early_kill only when a given
process has the default kill policy.
Note that this patch is solving a thread choice issue too.
Originally, collect_procs() always chooses the main thread when
vm.memory_failure_early_kill is 1, even if the process has a dedicated
thread for memory error handling. SIGBUS should be sent to the
dedicated thread if early-kill is enabled via
vm.memory_failure_early_kill as we are doing for PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY
processes.

Some processes dont't want to be killed early, but in "Action Required"
case, those also may be killed by BUS_MCEERR_AO when sharing memory with
other which is accessing the fail memory. And sending SIGBUS with
BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error is strange, so ignore the
non-current processes here.

The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to schedule
work on the current CPU so that memory_failure() can sleep.
For synchronous memory errors the arch code needs to know any signals
that memory_failure() will trigger are pending before it returns to
user-space, possibly when exiting from the IRQ.
Add a helper to kick the memory failure queue, to ensure the scheduled
work has happened. This has to be called from process context, so may
have been migrated from the original cpu. Pass the cpu the work was
queued on.
Change memory_failure_work_func() to permit being called on the 'wrong'
cpu.

page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function

Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more synchronization", v2.
While discussing the issue with huge_pte_offset [1], I remembered that
there were more outstanding hugetlb races. These issues are:
1) For shared pmds, huge PTE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
reserve counts and state.
A previous attempt was made to use i_mmap_rwsem in this manner as
described at [2]. However, those patches were reverted starting with [3]
due to locking issues.
To effectively use i_mmap_rwsem to address the above issues it needs to be
held (in read mode) during page fault processing. However, during fault
processing we need to lock the page we will be adding. Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem. Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.
To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages. This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places. However, I don't
really like this idea. Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.
The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races. After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ... etc,
as needed. This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations. At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races. Any other
suggestions would be welcome.

This patch (of 2):
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table. Consider the following:
A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.
Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.
To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers
of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with
the ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.
One problem with this scheme is that it requires taking i_mmap_rwsem
before taking the page lock during page faults. This is not the order
specified in the rest of mm code. Handling of hugetlbfs pages is mostly
isolated today. Therefore, we use this alternative locking order for
PageHuge() pages.
mapping->i_mmap_rwsem
hugetlb_fault_mutex (hugetlbfs specific page fault mutex)
page->flags PG_locked (lock_page)
To help with lock ordering issues, hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() is
introduced to write lock the i_mmap_rwsem associated with a page.
In most cases it is easy to get address_space via vma->vm_file->f_mapping.
However, in the case of migration or memory errors for anon pages we do
not have an associated vma. A new routine _get_hugetlb_page_mapping()
will use anon_vma to get address_space in these cases.

add_to_kill() expects the first 'tk' to be pre-allocated, it makes
subsequent allocations on need basis, this makes the code a bit

more than once
Mmap /dev/dax more than once, then read the poison location using
address from one of the mappings. The other mappings due to not having
the page mapped in will cause SIGKILLs delivered to the process.
SIGKILL succeeds over SIGBUS, so user process loses the opportunity to
handle the UE.
Although one may add MAP_POPULATE to mmap(2) to work around the issue,
MAP_POPULATE makes mapping 128GB of pmem several magnitudes slower, so
isn't always an option.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends

for hugepages with overcommitting enabled. That was caused by the
suboptimal code in current soft-offline code. See the following part:
ret = migrate_pages(&pagelist, new_page, NULL, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL,
MIGRATE_SYNC, MR_MEMORY |
