Since we have no commit b93b016
("page cache: use xa_lock"), xarray.h isn't included to the
include/linux/fs.h.

For now, let's just add it to the files that needed for simpler fix.

commit 1a3e1f40962c445b997151a542314f3c6097f8c3 upstream.

NOTE: This is a partial backport since we only need the refcnt between
memcg and stock to fix the problem stated below, and in this way
multiple versions use the same code and align with each other.

There was a kernel panic happened on an in-house environment running
3.10, and the same problem was reproduced on 4.19:

It is found that in case of stock->nr_pages == 0, the memcg on
stock->cached could be freed due to its refcnt decreased to 0, which
made stock->cached become a dangling pointer. It could cause a UAF
problem in drain_all_stock() in the following concurrent scenario. Note
that drain_all_stock() doesn't disable irq but only preemption.

CPU1                             CPU2
==============================================================================
stock->cached = memcgA (freed)
                                 drain_all_stock(memcgB)
                                  rcu_read_lock()
                                  memcg = CPU1's stock->cached (memcgA)
                                  (interrupted)
refill_stock(memcgC)
 drain_stock(memcgA)
 stock->cached = memcgC
 stock->nr_pages += xxx (> 0)
                                  stock->nr_pages > 0
                                  mem_cgroup_is_descendant(memcgA, memcgB) [UAF]
                                  rcu_read_unlock()

This problem is, unintentionally, fixed at 5.9, where commit
1a3e1f40962c ("mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from page
accounting") adds memcg refcnt for stock. Therefore affected LTS
versions include 4.19 and 5.4.

For 4.19, memcg's css offline process doesn't call drain_all_stock(). so
it's easier for the released memcg to be left on the stock. For 5.4,
although mem_cgroup_css_offline() does call drain_all_stock(), but the
flushing could be skipped when stock->nr_pages happens to be 0, and
besides the async draining could be delayed and take place after the UAF
problem has happened.

Fix this problem by adding (and decreasing) memcg's refcnt when memcg is
put onto (and removed from) stock, just like how commit 1a3e1f40962c
("mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from page accounting")
does. After all, "being on the stock" is a kind of reference with
regards to memcg. As such, it's guaranteed that a css on stock would not
be freed.

It's good to mention that refill_stock() is executed in an irq-disabled
context, so the drain_stock() patched with css_put() would not actually
free memcgA until the end of refill_stock(), since css_put() is an RCU
free and it's still in grace period. For CPU2, the access to CPU1's
stock->cached is protected by rcu_read_lock(), so in this case it gets
either NULL from stock->cached or a memcgA that is still good.

vhost_worker will call tun call backs to receive packets. If too many
illegal packets arrives, tun_do_read will keep dumping packet contents.
When console is enabled, it will costs much more cpu time to dump
packet and soft lockup will be detected.

net_ratelimit mechanism can be used to limit the dumping rate.

…le_direct_reclaim()

commit 6aaced5abd32e2a57cd94fd64f824514d0361da8 upstream.

The task sometimes continues looping in throttle_direct_reclaim() because
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) keeps returning false.

At this point, the pgdat contains the following two zones:

        NODE: 4  ZONE: 0  ADDR: ffff00817fffe540  NAME: "DMA32"

                   NR_ZSPAGES: 0
            NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES: 0

In allow_direct_reclaim(), while processing ZONE_DMA32, the sum of
inactive/active file-backed pages calculated in zone_reclaimable_pages()
based on the result of zone_page_state_snapshot() is zero.

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/
active anonymous pages is skipped.

        crash> p nr_swap_pages
        nr_swap_pages = $1937 = {
          counter = 0
        }

As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to
the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having
free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark.

The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented.

        crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures
        $1935 = 0x0

This is because the node deemed balanced.  The node balancing logic in
balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively.  If one or more zones
(e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the
entire node is deemed balanced.  This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early
before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall
memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain
under significant pressure.

The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages
(NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are
available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages).  This change prevents
zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being
mistakenly deemed unreclaimable.  By doing so, the patch ensures proper
node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL,
and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false.

The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused
by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain
zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL.  This issue arises from
zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file-
backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient
free pages to be skipped.

The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored
during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones.  Consequently,
pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback
mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an
infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim().

This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages
(NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist.  This ensures zones
with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and
reclaim behavior.

As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to
the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having
free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark.

The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented.

        crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures
        $1935 = 0x0

This is because the node deemed balanced.  The node balancing logic in
balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively.  If one or more zones
(e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the
entire node is deemed balanced.  This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early
before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall
memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain
under significant pressure.

The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages
(NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are
available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages).  This change prevents
zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being
mistakenly deemed unreclaimable.  By doing so, the patch ensures proper
node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL,
and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false.

The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused
by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain
zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL.  This issue arises from
zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file-
backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient
free pages to be skipped.

The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored
during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones.  Consequently,
pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback
mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an
infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim().

This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages
(NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist.  This ensures zones
with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and
reclaim behavior.

…le_direct_reclaim()

commit 6aaced5abd32e2a57cd94fd64f824514d0361da8 upstream.

The task sometimes continues looping in throttle_direct_reclaim() because
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) keeps returning false.

At this point, the pgdat contains the following two zones:

        NODE: 4  ZONE: 0  ADDR: ffff00817fffe540  NAME: "DMA32"

            NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES: 0

In allow_direct_reclaim(), while processing ZONE_DMA32, the sum of
inactive/active file-backed pages calculated in zone_reclaimable_pages()
based on the result of zone_page_state_snapshot() is zero.

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/
active anonymous pages is skipped.

        crash> p nr_swap_pages
        nr_swap_pages = $1937 = {
          counter = 0
        }

As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to
the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having
free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark.

The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented.

        crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures
        $1935 = 0x0

This is because the node deemed balanced.  The node balancing logic in
balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively.  If one or more zones

entire node is deemed balanced.  This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early

 - single up_read() call vs. 4
 - so much easier on eyes

Technically it seems like @bad_area label moved up, but even in old
regime, it was a special case of delivering SIGSEGV unconditionally
which we now do as well, although with checks.

Also note that @fault needs to be initialized since we can land in
@bad_area (which reads it) without setting it up with return value of
handle_mm_fault() - failing to do so did bite us although as a side
effect of different patch: see [1]

A recent clang 16 update has introduced segfault when compiling kernel
using the `-polly-invariant-load-hoisting` flag and breaks compilation
when kernel is compiled with full LTO.
This is due to the flag being ignorant about the errors during SCoP
verification and does not take the errors into account as per a recent
issue opened at [LLVM], causing polly to do segfault and the compiler
to print the following backtrace:

PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script.

From the very nature of `-polly-detect-keep-going`, it can be concluded
that this is a potentially unsafe flag and instead of using it conditionally
for CLANG < 16, just remove it all together for all. This should allow polly
to run SCoP verifications as intended.
