v3 cover remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs

(pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range.

These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm->mmap_lock is never released during the GUP operation (i.e. the internal flag FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified).

In addition, these VMAs have also to only be accessed under the mmap_lock, and become invalidated the moment it is released.

The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of those that do, all but one retrieve a single VMA to perform checks upon.

It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the operation with a vma_lookup(). In these cases we duplicate the (fast) lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock.

The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to assert that all the VMAs possess the same vm->vm_file (possibly NULL) and they are either anonymous or hugetlb pages.

To continue to provide this functionality, we introduce the FOLL_SAME_PAGE flag which asserts that the vma->vm_file remains the same throughout, erroring out if this is not the case.

We can then replace the io_uring case by passing FOLL_SAME_FILE and looking up the first VMA manually and performing the required checks on this alone. The combination of the two amount to the same checks being performed (and avoids an allocation).

Eliminating this parameter eliminates an entire class of errors - the vmas array used to become a set of dangling pointers if access after release of mmap_lock was attempted, this is simply no longer possible.

In addition the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is for
- applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning pinned pages.

This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths.

I have run the gup_test and a simple io_uring program which exercises the use of FOLL_SAME_PAGE with no issues.

Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring!

v3:
- Always explicitly handle !vma cases, feeding back an error to the user if appropriate, indicating the operation did not completely succeed if not and always with a warning since these conditions should be impossible.

v2:
- Only lookup the VMA if the pin succeeded (other than __access_remote_vm() which has different semantics)
- Be pedantically careful about ensuring that under no circumstances can we fail to unpin a page

PATCH v3 1/7 mm/gup: remove unused vmas parameter from get_user_pages()

No invocation of get_user_pages() uses the vmas parameter, so remove it.

The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling pointers.

Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions implied by the input flags.

This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter altogether.

PATCH v3 3/7 mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote()

In reply to Lorenzo Stoakes

The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the VMA directly. In particular:-

- __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply remove it.

- __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the code.

This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas parameter altogether.

Re: [PATCH v3 3/7] mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote()

Quoted 11 lines · Lorenzo Stoakes

The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the VMA directly. In particular:-

- __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply remove it.

- __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the code.

PATCH v3 4/7 mm/gup: introduce the FOLL_SAME_FILE GUP flag

This flag causes GUP to assert that all VMAs within the input range possess the same vma->vm_file. If not, the operation fails.

This is part of a patch series which eliminates the vmas parameter from the GUP API, implementing the one remaining assertion within the entire kernel that requires access to the VMAs associated with a GUP range.

FOLL_SAME_FILE is never set here, just pass NULL instead of vma->vm_file.

As we're not allowing to drop the mmap lock, why can't io_uring simply go over all VMAs once, after pinning succeeded, and make sure that the files match (or even before pinning)?

In most cases, we're dealing with a single VMA only, it's not like the common case is that io_uring pins accross 100s of VMAs.

So I really wonder if the GUP complexity is justified by something. (removing the VMAs is certainly a welcome surprise -- as it doesn't make any sense when used with FOLL_UNLOCKABLE).

This is one that needs some input from Jens I think (added to cc, for some reason I didn't include him on this one but I did on the one updating uring to use it).

I agree it'd be better not to introduce this flag if we can avoid it, intent was to avoid having to add complexity to the uring code when we're already iterating through VMAs in the GUP code, but as you say it's highly likely most cases will consist of a single VMA anyway.

If Jens is OK with us iterating here I'm more than happy to respin without adding the flag!

Quoted 2 lines

(removing the VMAs is certainly a welcome surprise -- as it doesn't make any sense when used with FOLL_UNLOCKABLE).

This is a product of reading the GUP code when writing the GUP bit for the book and wishing it were more sane :) I suspect I'll have some more patches in this area aimed at marrying the disparate APIs where sensible to do so.

PATCH v3 5/7 io_uring: rsrc: use FOLL_SAME_FILE on pin_user_pages()

In reply to Lorenzo Stoakes

Commit edd478269640 ("io_uring/rsrc: disallow multi-source reg buffers") prevents io_pin_pages() from pinning pages spanning multiple VMAs with permitted characteristics (anon/huge), requiring that all VMAs share the same vm_file.

The newly introduced FOLL_SAME_FILE flag permits this to be expressed as a GUP flag rather than having to retrieve VMAs to perform the check.

We then only need to perform a VMA lookup for the first VMA to assert the anon/hugepage requirement as we know the rest of the VMAs will possess the same characteristics.

Doing this eliminates the one instance of vmas being used by pin_user_pages().

PATCH v3 6/7 mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from pin_user_pages()

In reply to Lorenzo Stoakes

After the introduction of FOLL_SAME_FILE we no longer require vmas for any invocation of pin_user_pages(), so eliminate this parameter from the function and all callers.

This clears the way to removing the vmas parameter from GUP altogether.

Re: [PATCH v3 6/7] mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from pin_user_pages()

Quoted 8 lines · Lorenzo Stoakes

After the introduction of FOLL_SAME_FILE we no longer require vmas for any invocation of pin_user_pages(), so eliminate this parameter from the function and all callers.

This clears the way to removing the vmas parameter from GUP altogether.

Ideally, we'd avoid FOLL_SAME_FILE as well

PATCH v3 7/7 mm/gup: remove vmas array from internal GUP functions

In reply to Lorenzo Stoakes

Now we have eliminated all callers to GUP APIs which use the vmas parameter, eliminate it altogether.

This eliminates a class of bugs where vmas might have been kept around longer than the mmap_lock and thus we need not be concerned about locks being dropped during this operation leaving behind dangling pointers.

This simplifies the GUP API and makes it considerably clearer as to its purpose - follow flags are applied and if pinning, an array of pages is returned.
