In a call to ib_umem_get(), if address is 0x0 and size is
already page aligned, check added in commit 8494057ab5e4
("IB/uverbs: Prevent integer overflow in ib_umem_get address
arithmetic") will refuse to register a memory region that
could otherwise be valid (provided vm.mmap_min_addr sysctl
and mmap_low_allowed SELinux knobs allow userspace to map
something at address 0x0).
This patch allows back such registration: ib_umem_get()
should probably don't care of the base address provided it
can be pinned with get_user_pages().
There's two possible overflows, in (addr + size) and in
PAGE_ALIGN(addr + size), this patch keep ensuring none
of them happen while allowing to pin memory at address
0x0. Anyway, the case of size equal 0 is no more (partially)
handled as 0-length memory region are disallowed by an
earlier check.

If ib_umem_get() is called with a size equal to 0 and an
non-page aligned address, one page will be pinned and a
0-sized umem will be returned to the caller.
This should not be allowed: it's not expected for a memory
region to have a size equal to 0.
This patch adds a check to explicitly refuse to register
a 0-sized region.

Properly verify that the resulting page aligned end address is larger
than both the start address and the length of the memory area requested.
Both the start and length arguments for ib_umem_get are controlled by
the user. A misbehaving user can provide values which will cause an
integer overflow when calculating the page aligned end address.
This overflow can cause also miscalculation of the number of pages
mapped, and additional logic issues.

* Add an interval tree implementation for ODP umems. Create an
interval tree for each ucontext (including a count of the number of
ODP MRs in this context, semaphore, etc.), and register ODP umems in
the interval tree.
* Add MMU notifiers handling functions, using the interval tree to
notify only the relevant umems and underlying MRs.
* Register to receive MMU notifier events from the MM subsystem upon
ODP MR registration (and unregister accordingly).
* Add a completion object to synchronize the destruction of ODP umems.
* Add mechanism to abort page faults when there's a concurrent invalidation.
The way we synchronize between concurrent invalidations and page
faults is by keeping a counter of currently running invalidations, and
a sequence number that is incremented whenever an invalidation is
caught. The page fault code checks the counter and also verifies that
the sequence number hasn't progressed before it updates the umem's
page tables. This is similar to what the kvm module does.
In order to prevent the case where we register a umem in the middle of
an ongoing notifier, we also keep a per ucontext counter of the total
number of active mmu notifiers. We only enable new umems when all the
running notifiers complete.

of specific pages of the umem (and, currently, pin them).
* Support for page faults only - IB core will keep the reference on

In debugging an application that receives -ENOMEM from ib_reg_mr(), I
found that ib_umem_get() can fail because the pinned_vm count has
wrapped causing it to always be larger than the lock limit even with
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK set to RLIM_INFINITY.
The wrapping of pinned_vm occurs because the process that calls
ib_reg_mr() will have its mm->pinned_vm count incremented. Later a
different process with a different mm_struct than the one that
allocated the ib_umem struct ends up releasing it which results in
decrementing the new processes mm->pinned_vm count past zero and
wrapping.
I'm not entirely sure what circumstances cause a different process to
release the ib_umem than the one that allocated it but the kernel
stack trace of the freeing process from my situation looks like the
following:
Call Trace:

The following patch fixes the issue by storing the pid struct of the
process that calls ib_umem_get() so that ib_umem_release and/or
ib_umem_account() can properly decrement the pinned_vm count of the
correct mm_struct.

Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".
The difference between mlocking and pinning is:
A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
They are kept on a special LRU list.
B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
LRU list.
I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
memory was accounted for twice:
Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
memory.
This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
accounts them seperately.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value
that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the
length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely
min_t(int, npages, PAGE_SIZE / sizeof (struct page *))
will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at
least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in
get_user_pages()"). This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(),
since the code boils down to:
while (npages) {
ret = get_user_pages(...);
npages -= ret;
}
Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of
npages is never truncated.
The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is
checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an
astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this,
and such a process could already cause lots of mischief. But it does
let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit
this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion
function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

If ib_umem_release() is called after ib_uverbs_close() sets context->closing,
then a process can get stuck in a D state, because the code boils down to
if (down_write_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem))
down_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
which is obviously a stupid instant deadlock. Fix the code so that we
only try to take the lock once.
This bug was introduced in commit f7c6a7b5 ("IB/uverbs: Export

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%).

When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release()
needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from
mm->locked_vm. However, ib_umem_release() may be called with
mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released
as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer
this accounting into a workqueue.
However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically
allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing
that allocation. If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no
choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently
elevated locked_vm.
Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of
the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a
later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory
succeeds.

Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.
This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.
