Commit 27421e211a39784694b597dbf35848b88363c248, Manually revert
"mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions", has
introduced its own regression: __mlock_vma_pages_range() may report
an error (for example, -EFAULT from trying to lock down pages from
beyond EOF), but mlock_vma_pages_range() must hide that from its
callers as before.

This essentially reverts commit 8edb08caf68184fb170f4f69c7445929e199eaea.
It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in
order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to
walk the vma lists and take page faults etc. Which is a nice idea, but
the implementation does not work.
Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without
releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely
and then re-take it as a writelock. However, that meant that the caller
possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another
thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range.
The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and
erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy
hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread
could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally
unmapping it).
The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the
end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations
with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them
all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding
just the read lock. And then just drop the read-lock and return to user
space.
The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the
callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped,
and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one
vma region.
So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct.
Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly
some day.

The initial implementation of checking TIF_MEMDIE covers the cases of OOM
killing. If the process has been OOM killed, the TIF_MEMDIE is set and it
return immediately. This patch includes:
1. add the case that the SIGKILL is sent by user processes. The
process can try to get_user_pages() unlimited memory even if a user
process has sent a SIGKILL to it(maybe a monitor find the process
exceed its memory limit and try to kill it). In the old
implementation, the SIGKILL won't be handled until the get_user_pages()
returns.
2. change the return value to be ERESTARTSYS. It makes no sense to
return ENOMEM if the get_user_pages returned by getting a SIGKILL
signal. Considering the general convention for a system call
interrupted by a signal is ERESTARTNOSYS, so the current return value
is consistant to that.
Lee:
An unfortunate side effect of "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" is that
it prevents a SIGKILL'd task from munlock-ing pages that it had mlocked,
resulting in freeing of mlocked pages. Freeing of mlocked pages, in
itself, is not so bad. We just count them now--altho' I had hoped to
remove this stat and add PG_MLOCKED to the free pages flags check.
However, consider pages in shared libraries mapped by more than one task
that a task mlocked--e.g., via mlockall(). If the task that mlocked the
pages exits via SIGKILL, these pages would be left mlocked and
unevictable.
Proposed fix:
Add another GUP flag to ignore sigkill when calling get_user_pages from
munlock()--similar to Kosaki Motohiro's 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS flag for
the same purpose. We are not actually allocating memory in this case,
which "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" intends to avoid. We're just
munlocking pages that are already resident and mapped, and we're reusing
get_user_pages() to access those pages.
?? Maybe we should combine 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS and '_IGNORE_SIGKILL
into a single flag: GUP_FLAGS_MUNLOCK ???

lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test
machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task
have mmap_sem.
Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages
stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue
unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list.
So removing is better.
In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and
sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to
unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing
is better.
Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field
mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real
trouble.

get_user_pages(), return for those conditions. For more info, see:

We need to hold the mmap_sem for write to initiatate mlock()/munlock()
because we may need to merge/split vmas. However, this can lead to very
long lock hold times attempting to fault in a large memory region to mlock
it into memory. This can hold off other faults against the mm
[multithreaded tasks] and other scans of the mm, such as via /proc. To
alleviate this, downgrade the mmap_sem to read mode during the population
of the region for locking. This is especially the case if we need to
reclaim memory to lock down the region. We [probably?] don't need to do
this for unlocking as all of the pages should be resident--they're already
mlocked.
Now, the caller's of the mlock functions [mlock_fixup() and
mlock_vma_pages_range()] expect the mmap_sem to be returned in write mode.
Changing all callers appears to be way too much effort at this point.
So, restore write mode before returning. Note that this opens a window
where the mmap list could change in a multithreaded process. So, at least
for mlock_fixup(), where we could be called in a loop over multiple vmas,
we check that a vma still exists at the start address and that vma still
covers the page range [start,end). If not, we return an error, -EAGAIN,
and let the caller deal with it.
Return -EAGAIN from mlock_vma_pages_range() function and mlock_fixup() if
the vma at 'start' disappears or changes so that the page range
[start,end) is no longer contained in the vma. Again, let the caller deal
with it. Looks like only sys_remap_file_pages() [via mmap_region()]
should actually care.
With this patch, I no longer see processes like ps(1) blocked for seconds
or minutes at a time waiting for a large [multiple gigabyte] region to be
locked down. However, I occassionally see delays while unlocking or
unmapping a large mlocked region. Should we also downgrade the mmap_sem
for the unlock path?

Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd
will not scan them over and over again.
This is achieved through various strategies:
1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that
the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and,
optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of
unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to
page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate
accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch
did.
Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked
flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable
flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I
restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new
count field.
2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c,
with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework
of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into
account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable
LRU list.
3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked()
and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma
will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path;
and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault
path" patch is included.
4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and
ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked.
Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This
effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links
as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked
vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it
does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One
hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.
Original mm/internal.h, mm/rmap.c and mm/mlock.c changes:

======================================================
This testcase results in an mlock() failure with errno 14 that is EFAULT,
but it has nowhere been specified that mlock() will return EFAULT. When I
tested the same on older kernels like 2.6.18, I got the correct result i.e
errno 12 (ENOMEM).
I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in
do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure.
SUSv3 requires the following behavior frmo mlock(2).
[ENOMEM]
Some or all of the address range specified by the addr and
len arguments does not correspond to valid mapped pages
in the address space of the process.
[EAGAIN]
Some or all of the memory identified by the operation could not
be locked when the call was made.
This rule isn't so nice and slighly strange. but many people think
POSIX/SUS compliance is important.

Fix a bug in mm/mlock.c on 32-bit architectures that prevents a user from
locking more than 4GB of shared memory, or allocating more than 4GB of
shared memory in hugepages, when rlim[RLIMIT_MEMLOCK] is set to
RLIM_INFINITY.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h;
- Use <linux/capability.h> where capable() is used
(in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/,
mm/, security/, & sound/;
many more drivers/ to go)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
