Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
- Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
series 'Fixes and cleanups to compaction'
- Joel Fernandes has a patchset ('Optimize mremap during mutual
alignment within PMD') which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
implementation which Linus suggested
- More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i
the following patch series:
mm/damon: misc fixups for documents, comments and its tracepoint
mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions
mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate
mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals
mm/damon/core-test: Fix memory leaks in core-test
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval
- In the series 'Do not try to access unaccepted memory' Adrian
Hunter provides some fixups for the recently-added 'unaccepted
memory' feature. To increase the feature's checking coverage. 'Plug
a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
unaccepted memory'
- In the series 'cleanups for lockless slab shrink' Qi Zheng has done
some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
shrinking code
- Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
shrinking lockless in the series 'use refcount+RCU method to
implement lockless slab shrink'
- David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap
code in the series 'Anon rmap cleanups'
- Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work
in the migration code. Series 'mm: migrate: more folio conversion
and unification'
- Matthew Wilcox has fixed an issue in the buffer_head code which was
causing long stalls under some heavy memory/IO loads. Some cleanups
were added on the way. Series 'Add and use bdev_getblk()'
- In the series 'Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page
manipulation' Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
manipulation of hugetlb page frames
- In the series 'mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
struct pages if freed by HVO' has improved our handling of gigantic
pages in the hugetlb vmmemmep optimizaton code. This provides
significant boot time improvements when significant amounts of
gigantic pages are in use
- Matthew Wilcox has sent the series 'Small hugetlb cleanups' - code
rationalization and folio conversions in the hugetlb code
- Yin Fengwei has improved mlock()'s handling of large folios in the

prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
propagate the denial to child processes. The series is named 'MDWE
without inheritance'

functions to use a folio' which does what it says
- In the series 'mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl' Stefan
Roesch makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment
across exec()
- Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'
- In the series 'Smart scanning mode for KSM' Stefan Roesch has
optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
information from previous scans

the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
values'
- In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info
about PTEs' Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/<pid>/pagemap

maintenance', a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to
this code
- Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over
file-backed page faults in the series 'Handle more faults under the
VMA lock'. Some rationalizations of the fault path became possible
as a result

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
It seems `cmd->policy_name` is intended to be NUL-terminated based on a
now changed line of code from Commit (c6b4fcbad044e6ff "dm: add cache
target"):
| if (strcmp(cmd->policy_name, policy_name)) { // ...
However, now a length-bounded strncmp is used:
| if (strncmp(cmd->policy_name, policy_name, sizeof(cmd->policy_name)))
... which means NUL-terminated may not strictly be required. However, I
believe the intent of the code is clear and we should maintain
NUL-termination of policy_names.
Moreover, __begin_transaction_flags() zero-allocates `cmd` before
calling read_superblock_fields():
| cmd = kzalloc(sizeof(*cmd), GFP_KERNEL);
Also, `disk_super->policy_name` is zero-initialized
| memset(disk_super->policy_name, 0, sizeof(disk_super->policy_name));
... therefore any NUL-padding is redundant.
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.

Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes".
This patch (of 7):
This reverts commit cf2e309ebca7bb0916771839f9b580b06c778530.
Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.
After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So
revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.

Commit fd2fa9541 ("dm cache metadata: save in-core policy_hint_size to
on-disk superblock") enabled previously written policy hints to be
used after a cache is reactivated. But in doing so the cache
metadata's hint array was left exposed to out of bounds access because
on resize the metadata's on-disk hint array wasn't ever extended.
Fix this by ignoring that there are no on-disk hints associated with the
newly added cache blocks. An expanded on-disk hint array is later
rewritten upon the next clean shutdown of the cache.

Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt:
The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us
to keep updating it on the fly. So we treat it as a hint. In normal
operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended. If the
system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.
This got broken in commit f177940a8091 ("dm cache metadata: switch to
using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed
the code that consulted cmd->clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk
flag) when loading cache blocks. This results in data corruption on an
unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device. After the
crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the
cache at any time. This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads
to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable:
### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in
### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied.

policy_hint_size starts as 0 during __write_initial_superblock(). It
isn't until the policy is loaded that policy_hint_size is set in-core
(cmd->policy_hint_size). But it never got recorded in the on-disk
superblock because __commit_transaction() didn't deal with transfering
the in-core cmd->policy_hint_size to the on-disk superblock.
The in-core cmd->policy_hint_size gets initialized by metadata_open()'s
__begin_transaction_flags() which re-reads all superblock fields.
Because the superblock's policy_hint_size was never properly stored, when
the cache was created, hints_array_available() would always return false
when re-activating a previously created cache. This means
__load_mappings() always considered the hints invalid and never made use
of the hints (these hints served to optimize).
Another detremental side-effect of this oversight is the cache_check
utility would fail with: "invalid hint width: 0"

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable dm_cache_metadata.ref_count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding
whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2
interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more
nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate
benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
adaptive to changing workloads.
- Add a new DM integrity target that emulates a block device that has
additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity
information.
- Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target
that builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target.
- Add MD interface for switching the raid4/5/6 journal mode and update
the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back
support.
- Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash
crypto API (this helps work better with architectures that have
access to off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU
utilization).
- Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from
Bart and Christoph.
- A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each
discard IFF discard passdown is enabled.
- A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the
new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin
changes to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable.
- A couple DM core cleanups.

The READ_LOCK macro was incorrectly returning -EINVAL if
dm_bm_is_read_only() was true -- it will always be true once the cache
metadata transitions to read-only by dm_cache_metadata_set_read_only().
Wrap READ_LOCK and WRITE_LOCK multi-statement macros in do {} while(0).
Also, all accesses of the 'cmd' argument passed to these related macros
are now encapsulated in parenthesis.
A follow-up patch can be developed to eliminate the use of macros in
favor of pure C code. Avoiding that now given that this needs to apply
to stable@.

If the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag is not set when a cache is loaded then all cache
blocks are marked as dirty and a full writeback occurs.
__commit_transaction() is responsible for setting/clearing
CLEAN_SHUTDOWN (based the flags_mutator that is passed in).
Fix this issue, of the cache's on-disk flags being wrong, by making sure
__commit_transaction() does not reset the flags after the mutator has
altered the flags in preparation for them being serialized to disk.
before:
sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags));
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags);
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags);
after:
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags);
sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags));
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags);

If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode. If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.
Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate. Activation requires write access to metadata. Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.
Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".
Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

If a DM table is reloaded with an inactive table when the device is not
suspended (normal procedure for LVM2), then there will be two dm-bufio
objects that can diverge. This can lead to a situation where the
inactive table uses bufio to read metadata at the same time the active
table writes metadata -- resulting in the inactive table having stale
metadata buffers once it is promoted to the active table slot.
Fix this by using reference counting and a global list of cache metadata
objects to ensure there is only one metadata object per metadata device.

Commit 7d48935e cleaned up the persistent-data's space-map-metadata
limits by elevating them to dm-space-map-metadata.h. Update
dm-cache-metadata to use these same limits.
The calculation for DM_CACHE_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the
sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size
is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy
hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this
lock order:
policy->lock
cache_metadata->root_lock
When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata
lock is held:
cache_metadata->root_lock
policy->lock
Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by
ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are
written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held
(as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to
the old save_hint() method).
Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove
locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the
LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths,
suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time.
But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred
elsewhere.

The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is
transactional. If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing
new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last
transaction.
Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by:
a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction.
b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the
disk.
This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space
map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b).
When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written
in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush.
With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the
superblock until after the metadata flush has completed.
Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume
all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed
in.
As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and
flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush(). Now
the unlocking must be done separately.
This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time
using dm-flakey.

Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data
corruption by erroneously avoiding migrations in issue_copy() because
the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it
should not.
Completely remove all code that enabled a distinction between the
cache block size and discard block size.
