In commit 714965ca82 ("mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be
removed in mergeability test") we relaxed the VMA merge rules for VMAs
possessing a vm_ops->close() hook, permitting this operation in instances
where we wouldn't delete the VMA as part of the merge operation.
This was later corrected in commit fc0c8f9089 ("mm, mmap: fix
vma_merge() case 7 with vma_ops->close") to account for a subtle case that
the previous commit had not taken into account.
In both instances, we first rely on is_mergeable_vma() to determine
whether we might be dealing with a VMA that might be removed, taking
advantage of the fact that a 'previous' VMA will never be deleted, only
VMAs that follow it.
The second patch corrects the instance where a merge of the previous VMA
into a subsequent one did not correctly check whether the subsequent VMA
had a vm_ops->close() handler.
Both changes prevent merge cases that are actually permissible (for
instance a merge of a VMA into a following VMA with a vm_ops->close(), but
with no previous VMA, which would result in the next VMA being extended,
not deleted).
In addition, both changes fail to consider the case where a VMA that would
otherwise be merged with the previous and next VMA might have
vm_ops->close(), on the assumption that for this to be the case, all three
would have to have the same vma->vm_file to be mergeable and thus the same
vm_ops.
And in addition both changes operate at 50,000 feet, trying to guess
whether a VMA will be deleted.
As we have majorly refactored the VMA merge operation and de-duplicated
code to the point where we know precisely where deletions will occur, this
patch removes the aforementioned checks altogether and instead explicitly
checks whether a VMA will be deleted.
In cases where a reduced merge is still possible (where we merge both
previous and next VMA but the next VMA has a vm_ops->close hook, meaning
we could just merge the previous and current VMA), we do so, otherwise the
merge is not permitted.
We take advantage of our userland testing to assert that this functions
correctly - replacing the previous limited vm_ops->close() tests with
tests for every single case where we delete a VMA.
We also update all testing for both new and modified VMAs to set
vma->vm_ops->close() in every single instance where this would not prevent
the merge, to assert that we never do so.

Abstract vma_merge_new_vma() to use vma_merge_struct and rename the
resultant function vma_merge_new_range() to be clear what the purpose of
this function is - a new VMA is desired in the specified range, and we
wish to see if it is possible to 'merge' surrounding VMAs into this range
rather than having to allocate a new VMA.
Note that this function uses vma_extend() exclusively, so adopts its
requirement that the iterator point at or before the gap. We add an
assert to this effect.
This is as opposed to vma_merge_existing_range(), which will be introduced
in a subsequent commit, and provide the same functionality for cases in
which we are modifying an existing VMA.
In mmap_region() and do_brk_flags() we open code scenarios where we prefer
to use vma_expand() rather than invoke a full vma_merge() operation.
Abstract this logic and eliminate all of the open-coding, and also use the
same logic for all cases where we add new VMAs to, rather than ultimately
use vma_merge(), rather use vma_expand().
Doing so removes duplication and simplifies VMA merging in all such cases,
laying the ground for us to eliminate the merging of new VMAs in
vma_merge() altogether.
Also add the ability for the vmg to track state, and able to report
errors, allowing for us to differentiate a failed merge from an inability
to allocate memory in callers.
This makes it far easier to understand what is happening in these cases
avoiding confusion, bugs and allowing for future optimisation.
Also introduce vma_iter_next_rewind() to allow for retrieval of the next,
and (optionally) the prev VMA, rewinding to the start of the previous gap.
Introduce are_anon_vmas_compatible() to abstract individual VMA anon_vma
comparison for the case of merging on both sides where the anon_vma of the
VMA being merged maybe compatible with prev and next, but prev and next's
anon_vma's may not be compatible with each other.
Finally also introduce can_vma_merge_left() / can_vma_merge_right() to
check adjacent VMA compatibility and that they are indeed adjacent.

Both can_vma_merge_before() and can_vma_merge_after() are invoked after
checking for compatible VMA NUMA policy, we can simply move this to
is_mergeable_vma() and abstract this altogether.
In mmap_region() we set vmg->policy to NULL, so the policy comparisons
checked in can_vma_merge_before() and can_vma_merge_after() are exactly
equivalent to !vma_policy(vmg.next) and !vma_policy(vmg.prev).
Equally, in do_brk_flags(), vmg->policy is NULL, so the
can_vma_merge_after() is checking !vma_policy(vma), as we set vmg.prev to
vma.
In vma_merge(), we compare prev and next policies with vmg->policy before
checking can_vma_merge_after() and can_vma_merge_before() respectively,
which this patch causes to be checked in precisely the same way.
This therefore maintains precisely the same logic as before, only now
abstracted into is_mergeable_vma().

Rather than passing around huge numbers of parameters to numerous helper
functions, abstract them into a single struct that we thread through the
operation, the vma_merge_struct ('vmg').
Adjust vma_merge() and vma_modify() to accept this parameter, as well as
predicate functions can_vma_merge_before(), can_vma_merge_after(), and the
vma_modify_...() helper functions.
Also introduce VMG_STATE() and VMG_VMA_STATE() helper macros to allow for
easy vmg declaration.
We additionally remove the requirement that vma_merge() is passed a VMA
object representing the candidate new VMA. Previously it used this to
obtain the mm_struct, file and anon_vma properties of the proposed range
(a rather confusing state of affairs), which are now provided by the vmg
directly.
We also remove the pgoff calculation previously performed vma_modify(),
and instead calculate this in VMG_VMA_STATE() via the vma_pgoff_offset()
helper.

Instead of zeroing the vma tree and then overwriting the area, let the
area be overwritten and then clean up the gathered vmas using
vms_complete_munmap_vmas().
To ensure locking is downgraded correctly, the mm is set regardless of
MAP_FIXED or not (NULL vma).
If a driver is mapping over an existing vma, then clear the ptes before
the call_mmap() invocation. This is done using the vms_clean_up_area()
helper. If there is a close vm_ops, that must also be called to ensure
any cleanup is done before mapping over the area. This also means that
calling open has been added to the abort of an unmap operation, for now.
Since vm_ops->open() and vm_ops->close() are not always undo each other
(state cleanup may exist in ->close() that is lost forever), the code
cannot be left in this way, but that change has been isolated to another
commit to make this point very obvious for traceability.
Temporarily keep track of the number of pages that will be removed and
reduce the charged amount.
This also drops the validate_mm() call in the vma_expand() function. It
is necessary to drop the validate as it would fail since the mm map_count
would be incorrect during a vma expansion, prior to the cleanup from
vms_complete_munmap_vmas().
Clean up the error handing of the vms_gather_munmap_vmas() by calling the
verification within the function.

Patch series "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure", v8.
It is now possible to walk the vma tree using the rcu read locks and is
beneficial to do so to reduce lock contention. Doing so while a MAP_FIXED
mapping is executing means that a reader may see a gap in the vma tree
that should never logically exist - and does not when using the mmap lock
in read mode. The temporal gap exists because mmap_region() calls
munmap() prior to installing the new mapping.
This patch set stops rcu readers from seeing the temporal gap by splitting
up the munmap() function into two parts. The first part prepares the vma
tree for modifications by doing the necessary splits and tracks the vmas
marked for removal in a side tree. The second part completes the
munmapping of the vmas after the vma tree has been overwritten (either by
a MAP_FIXED replacement vma or by a NULL in the munmap() case).
Please note that rcu walkers will still be able to see a temporary state
of split vmas that may be in the process of being removed, but the
temporal gap will not be exposed. vma_start_write() are called on both
parts of the split vma, so this state is detectable.
If existing vmas have a vm_ops->close(), then they will be called prior to
mapping the new vmas (and ptes are cleared out). Without calling
->close(), hugetlbfs tests fail (hugemmap06 specifically) due to resources
still being marked as 'busy'. Unfortunately, calling the corresponding
->open() may not restore the state of the vmas, so it is safer to keep the
existing failure scenario where a gap is inserted and never replaced. The
failure scenario is in its own patch (0015) for traceability.
This patch (of 21):
The vma iterator may be left pointing to the newly created vma. This
happens when inserting the new vma at the end of the old vma (!new_below).
The incorrect position in the vma iterator is not exposed currently since
the vma iterator is repositioned in the munmap path and is not reused in
any of the other paths.
This has limited impact in the current code, but is required for future
changes.
