v3 cover Fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when unmapping or migrating

Hi,

Now migrating a hugetlb page or unmapping a poisoned hugetlb page, we'll use ptep_clear_flush() and set_pte_at() to nuke the page table entry and remap it, and this is incorrect for CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb page, which will cause potential data consistent issue. This patch set will change to use hugetlb related APIs to fix this issue, please find details in each patch. Thanks.

Note: Mike pointed out the huge_ptep_get() will only return the one specific value, and it would not take into account the dirty or young bits of CONT-PTE/PMDs like the huge_ptep_get_and_clear() [1]. This inconsistent issue is not introduced by this patch set, and will address this issue in another thread [2]. Meanwhile the uffd for hugetlb case [3] pointed by Gerald also need another patch to address.

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
[3] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220503120343.6264e126@thinkpad/

Changes from v2:
- Collect reviewed tags from Muchun and Mike.
- Drop the unnecessary casting in hugetlb.c.
- Fix building errors with adding dummy functions for !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

Changes from v1:
- Add acked tag from Mike.
- Update some commit message.
- Add VM_BUG_ON in try_to_unmap() for hugetlb case.
- Add an explict void casting for huge_ptep_clear_flush() in hugetlb.c.

PATCH v3 1/3 mm: change huge_ptep_clear_flush() to return the original pte

It is incorrect to use ptep_clear_flush() to nuke a hugetlb page table when unmapping or migrating a hugetlb page, and will change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() instead in the following patches.

So this is a preparation patch, which changes the huge_ptep_clear_flush() to return the original pte to help to nuke a hugetlb page table.

PATCH v3 2/3 mm: rmap: Fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when migration

In reply to Baolin Wang

On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb:
2M and 1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page size specified.

When migrating a hugetlb page, we will get the relevant page table entry by huge_pte_offset() only once to nuke it and remap it with a migration pte entry. This is correct for PMD or PUD size hugetlb, since they always contain only one pmd entry or pud entry in the page table.

However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb, since they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with same page table attributes. So we will nuke or remap only one pte or pmd entry for this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page, which is not expected for hugetlb migration. The problem is we can still continue to modify the subpages' data of a hugetlb page during migrating a hugetlb page, which can cause a serious data consistent issue, since we did not nuke the page table entry and set a migration pte for the subpages of a hugetlb page.

To fix this issue, we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() to nuke a hugetlb page table, and remap it with set_huge_pte_at() and set_huge_swap_pte_at() when migrating a hugetlb page, which already considered the CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb.

Well that wasn't a great success. Doing this instead. It's pretty nasty - something nicer would be nicer please.

huge_ptep_clear_flush() is only used in CONFIG_NOMMU=n files, so I simply zapped this change.

Well that wasn't a great success. Doing this instead. It's pretty nasty - something nicer would be nicer please.

Thanks for fixing the building issue. I'll look at this to simplify the dummy function. Myabe just remove the ptep_get().

PATCH v3 3/3 mm: rmap: Fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when unmapping

In reply to Baolin Wang

On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb:
2M and 1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page size specified.

When unmapping a hugetlb page, we will get the relevant page table entry by huge_pte_offset() only once to nuke it. This is correct for PMD or PUD size hugetlb, since they always contain only one pmd entry or pud entry in the page table.

However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb, since they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with same page table attributes, so we will nuke only one pte or pmd entry for this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page.

And now try_to_unmap() is only passed a hugetlb page in the case where the hugetlb page is poisoned. Which means now we will unmap only one pte entry for a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, and we can still access other subpages of a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, which will cause serious issues possibly.

So we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() to nuke the hugetlb page table to fix this issue, which already considered CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb.

We've already used set_huge_swap_pte_at() to set a poisoned swap entry for a poisoned hugetlb page. Meanwhile adding a VM_BUG_ON() to make sure the passed hugetlb page is poisoned in try_to_unmap().

Hi,

Now migrating a hugetlb page or unmapping a poisoned hugetlb page, we'll use ptep_clear_flush() and set_pte_at() to nuke the page table entry and remap it, and this is incorrect for CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb page,

It would be helpful to describe why it's wrong. Something like "should use huge_ptep_clear_flush() and huge_ptep_clear_flush() for this purpose"?

Quoted 3 lines

which will cause potential data consistent issue. This patch set will change to use hugetlb related APIs to fix this issue, please find details in each patch. Thanks.

Is a cc:stable needed here? And are we able to identify a target for a

I think need a cc:stable tag, however I am not sure the target fixes tag, since we should trace back to the introduction of CONT-PTE/PMD hugetlb? 66b3923a1a0f ("arm64: hugetlb: add support for PTE contiguous bit")
