Patch series "selftests/mm: add memory failure selftests", v4.
Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of memory failure.
These tests help ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages,
pagecaches pages works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user
processes, page isolation, and recovery paths.
Currently madvise syscall is used to inject memory failures. And only
anonymous pages and pagecaches are tested. More test scenarios, e.g.
hugetlb, shmem, thp, will be added. Also more memory failure injecting
methods will be supported, e.g. APEI Error INJection, if required.
This patch (of 3):
This patch adds a new kselftest to validate memory failure handling for
anonymous pages. The test performs the following operations:
1. Allocates anonymous pages using mmap().
2. Injects memory failure via madvise syscall.
3. Verifies expected error handling behavior.
4. Unpoison memory.
This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages
works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user processes, page
isolation and recovery paths.

At present the mm selftests are integrated into the kselftest harness by
having it run run_vmtest.sh and letting it pick it's default set of tests
to invoke, rather than by telling the kselftest framework about each test
program individually as is more standard. This has some unfortunate
interactions with the kselftest harness:
- If any of the tests hangs the harness will kill the entire mm
selftests run rather than just the individual test, meaning no
further tests get run.
- The timeout applied by the harness is applied to the whole run rather
than an individual test which frequently leads to the suite not being
completed in production testing.
Deploy a crude but effective mitigation for these issues by telling the
kselftest framework to run each of the test categories that run_vmtests.sh
has separately. Since kselftest really wants to run test programs this is
done by providing a trivial wrapper script for each categorty that invokes
run_vmtest.sh, this is not a thing of great elegence but it is clear and
simple. Since run_vmtests.sh is doing runtime support detection, scenario
enumeration and setup for many of the tests we can't consistently tell the
framework about the individual test programs.
This has the side effect of reordering the tests, hopefully the testing
is not overly sensitive to this.

This self test is asserting internal implementation details and is highly
vulnerable to internal kernel changes as a result.
It is currently failing locally from at least v6.17, and it seems that it
may have been failing for longer in many configurations/hardware as it
skips if e.g. CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME is not specified.
With these skips and the fact that run_vmtests.sh won't run the tests in
certain configurations it is likely we have simply missed this test being
broken in CI for a long while.
I have tried multiple versions of these tests and am unable to find a
working bisect as previous versions of the test fail also.
The tests are essentially mmap()'ing a series of mappings with no hint and
asserting what the get_unmapped_area*() functions will come up with, with
seemingly few checks for what other mappings may already be in place.
It then appears to be mmap()'ing with a hint, and making a series of
similar assertions about the internal implementation details of the
hinting logic.
Commit 0ef3783d75 ("selftests/mm: add support to test 4PB VA on PPC64"),
commit 3bd6137220 ("selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: avoid reading
from VM_IO mappings"), and especially commit a005145b9c ("selftests/mm:
virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE") are good examples of
the whack-a-mole nature of maintaining this test.
The last commit there being particularly pertinent as it was accounting
for an internal implementation detail change that really should have no
bearing on self-tests, that is commit e93d2521b2 ("x86/vdso: Split
virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping").
The purpose of the mm self-tests are to assert attributes about the API
exposed to users, and to ensure that expectations are met.
This test is emphatically not doing this, rather making a series of
assumptions about internal implementation details and asserting them.
It therefore, sadly, seems that the best course is to remove this test
altogether.

Patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure", v3.
These three patches fix the va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure on x86_64.
Patch 1 fixes the hugepage setup issue that nr_hugepages is reset too
early in run_vmtests.sh and break the later va_high_addr_switch testing.
Patch 2 adds hugepage setup in va_high_addr_switch test, so that it can
still work if vm_runtests.sh changes the hugepage setup someday.
Patch 3 fixes the test failure caused by the hint addr align method change
in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().
This patch (of 3):
The nr_hugepgs variable is used to keep the original nr_hugepages at the
hugepage setup step at test beginning. After userfaultfd test, a cleaup
is executed, both /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-*/nr_hugepages and
/proc/sys//vm/nr_hugepages are reset to 'original' value before
userfaultfd test starts.
Issue here is the value used to restore /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is
nr_hugepgs which is the initial value before the vm_runtests.sh runs, not
the value before userfaultfd test starts. 'va_high_addr_swith.sh' tests
runs after that will possibly see no hugepages available for test, and got
EINVAL when mmap(HUGETLB), making the result invalid.
And before pkey tests, nr_hugepgs is changed to be used as a temp variable
to save nr_hugepages before pkey test, and restore it after pkey tests
finish. The original nr_hugepages value is not tracked anymore, so no way
to restore it after all tests finish.
Add a new variable orig_nr_hugepgs to save the original nr_hugepages, and
and restore it to nr_hugepages after all tests finish. And change to use
the nr_hugepgs variable to save the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugeages after
hugepage setup, it's also the value before userfaultfd test starts, and
the correct value to be restored after userfaultfd finishes. The
va_high_addr_switch.sh broken will be resolved.

Patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes", v2.
This patchset ensures that the number of hugepages is correctly set in the
system so that the uffd-stress test does not fail due to the racy nature
of the test. Patch 1 changes the hugepage constraint in the
run_vmtests.sh script, whereas patch 2 changes the constraint in the test
itself.
This patch (of 2):
We observed uffd-stress selftest failure on arm64 and intermittent
failures on x86 too:
running ./uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32
bounces: 17, mode: rnd read, ERROR: UFFDIO_COPY error: -12 (errno=12, @uffd-common.c:617) [FAIL]
not ok 18 uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32 # exit=1
For this particular case, the number of free hugepages from run_vmtests.sh
will be 128, and the test will allocate 64 hugepages in the source
location. The stress() function will start spawning threads which will
operate on the destination location, triggering uffd-operations like
UFFDIO_COPY from src to dst, which means that we will require 64 more
hugepages for the dst location.
Let us observe the locking_thread() function. It will lock the mutex kept
at dst, triggering uffd-copy. Suppose that 127 (64 for src and 63 for
dst) hugepages have been reserved. In case of BOUNCE_RANDOM, it may
happen that two threads trying to lock the mutex at dst, try to do so at
the same hugepage number. If one thread succeeds in reserving the last
hugepage, then the other thread may fail in alloc_hugetlb_folio(),
returning -ENOMEM. I can confirm that this is indeed the case by this
hacky patch:
:--- a/mm/hugetlb.c
; +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c
; @@ -6929,6 +6929,11 @@ int hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte(pte_t *dst_pte,
;
; folio = alloc_hugetlb_folio(dst_vma, dst_addr, false);
; if (IS_ERR(folio)) {
; + pte_t *actual_pte = hugetlb_walk(dst_vma, dst_addr, PMD_SIZE);
; + if (actual_pte) {
; + ret = -EEXIST;
; + goto out;
; + }
; ret = -ENOMEM;
; goto out;
; }
This code path gets triggered indicating that the PMD at which one thread
is trying to map a hugepage, gets filled by a racing thread.
Therefore, instead of using freepgs to compute the amount of memory, use
freepgs - (min(32, nr_cpus) - 1), so that the test still has some extra
hugepages to use. The adjustment is a function of min(32, nr_cpus) - the
value of nr_parallel in the test - because in the worst case, nr_parallel
number of threads will try to map a hugepage on the same PMD, one will win
the allocation race, and the other nr_parallel - 1 threads will fail, so
we need extra nr_parallel - 1 hugepages to satisfy this request. Note
that, in case the adjusted value underflows, there is a check for the
number of free hugepages in the test itself, which will fail:
get_free_hugepages() < bytes / page_size A negative value will be passed
on to bytes which is of type size_t, thus the RHS will become a large
value and the check will fail, so we are safe.

Let's test some basic functionality using /dev/mem. These tests will
implicitly cover some PAT (Page Attribute Handling) handling on x86.
These tests will only run when /dev/mem access to the first two pages in
physical address space is possible and allowed; otherwise, the tests are
skipped.
On current x86-64 with PAT inside a VM, all tests pass:
TAP version 13
1..6
# Starting 6 tests from 1 test cases.
# RUN pfnmap.madvise_disallowed ...
# OK pfnmap.madvise_disallowed

# PASSED: 6 / 6 tests passed.
# Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
However, we are able to trigger:
[ 27.888251] x86/PAT: pfnmap:1790 freeing invalid memtype [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff]
There are probably more things worth testing in the future, such as
MAP_PRIVATE handling. But this set of tests is sufficient to cover most
of the things we will rework regarding PAT handling.

Prior to the recently applied commit that permits this merge,
mprotect()'ing a faulted VMA, adjacent to an unfaulted VMA, such that the
two share characteristics would fail to merge due to what appear to be
unintended consequences of commit 965f55dea0 ("mmap: avoid merging
cloned VMAs").
Now we have fixed this bug, assert that we can indeed merge anonymous VMAs
this way.
Also assert that forked source/target VMAs are equally rejected.
Previously, all empty target anon merges with one VMA faulted and the
other unfaulted would be rejected incorrectly, now we ensure that unforked
merge, but forked do not.
Additionally, add the new test file to the MEMORY MAPPING section in
MAINTAINERS, as these tests are explicitly memory mapping related.

If running from a directory that can't be read by unprivileged users,
executing on-fault-test via the nobody user will fail.
The kselftest build does give the file the correct permissions, but after
being installed it might be in a directory without global execute
permissions.
Since the script can't safely fix that, just skip if it happens. Note
that the stderr of the `ls` command is unfiltered meaning the user sees a
"permission denied" error that can help inform them why the test was
skipped.

Currently the mm selftests refuse to run if huge pages are not available
in the current system but this is an optional feature and not all the
tests actually require them. Change the test during startup to be
non-fatal and skip or omit tests which actually rely on having huge pages,
allowing the other tests to be run.
The gup_test does support using madvise() to configure huge pages but it
ignores the error code so we just let it run.

We noticed that uffd-stress test was always failing to run when invoked
for the hugetlb profiles on x86_64 systems with a processor count of 64 or
bigger:
...
# ------------------------------------
# running ./uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32
# ------------------------------------
# ERROR: invalid MiB (errno=9, @uffd-stress.c:459)
...
# [FAIL]
not ok 3 uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32 # exit=1
...
The problem boils down to how run_vmtests.sh (mis)calculates the size of
the region it feeds to uffd-stress. The latter expects to see an amount
of MiB while the former is just giving out the number of free hugepages
halved down. This measurement discrepancy ends up violating uffd-stress'
assertion on number of hugetlb pages allocated per CPU, causing it to bail
out with the error above.
This commit fixes that issue by adjusting run_vmtests.sh's
half_ufd_size_MB calculation so it properly renders the region size in
MiB, as expected, while maintaining all of its original constraints in
place.

Commit 1b151e2435 ("block: Remove special-casing of compound pages")
caused a change in behaviour when releasing the pages if the buffer does
not start at the beginning of the page. This was because the calculation
of the number of pages to release was incorrect. This was fixed by commit
38b43539d6 ("block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers in
__bio_release_pages()").
We pin the user buffer during direct I/O writes. If this buffer is a
hugepage, bio_release_page() will unpin it and decrement all references
and pin counts at ->bi_end_io. However, if any references to the hugepage
remain post-I/O, the hugepage will not be freed upon unmap, leading to a
memory leak.
This patch verifies that a hugepage, used as a user buffer for DIO
operations, is correctly freed upon unmapping, regardless of whether the
offsets are aligned or unaligned w.r.t page boundary.

The save/restore of nr_hugepages was added to the test itself by using the
atexit() functionality. But it is broken as parent exits after creating
child. Hence calling the atexit() function early. That's not it. The
child exits after creating its child and so on.
The parent cannot wait to get the termination status for its children as
it'll keep on holding the resources until the new pkey allocation fails.
It is impossible to wait for exits of all the grand and great grand
children. Hence the restoring of nr_hugepages value from parent is wrong.
Let's save/restore the nr_hugepages settings in the launch script
instead of doing it in the test.

Patch series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests", v2.
This series addresses issues related to hugepage requirements in the MM
selftests, ensuring tests are skipped rather than failing when the
necessary hugepage count is not met.
This adjustment allows for a more graceful handling for systems with
insufficient hugepages, preventing unnecessary test failures and improving
the overall robustness of the test suite.
This patch (of 3):
On systems that have large core counts and large page sizes, but limited
memory, the userfaultfd test hugepage requirement is too large.
Exiting early due to missing one test's requirements is a rather
aggressive strategy, and prevents a lot of other tests from running.
Remove the early exit to prevent this.

When running with CATEGORY= (thp | hugetlb) we see a large numbers of
tests failing. These failures are due to not being able to allocate a
hugepage and normally occur on memory contrainted systems or when using
large page sizes.
drop_cache and compact_memory before the tests for a higher chance at a
successful hugepage allocation.

When running tests on a CI system (e.g. LAVA) it is useful to output test
results in TAP (Test Anything Protocol) format so that the CI can parse
the fine-grained results to show regressions. Many of the mm selftest
binaries already output using the TAP format. And the kselftests runner
(run_kselftest.sh) also uses the format. CI systems such as LAVA can
already handle nested TAP reports. However, with the mm selftests we have
3 levels of nesting (run_kselftest.sh -> run_vmtests.sh -> individual test
binaries) and the middle level did not previously support TAP, which
breaks the parser.
Let's fix that by teaching run_vmtests.sh to output using the TAP format.
Ideally this would be opt-in via a command line argument to avoid the
possibility of breaking anyone's existing scripts that might scrape the
output. However, it is not possible to pass arguments to tests invoked
via run_kselftest.sh. So I've implemented an opt-out option (-n), which
will revert to the existing output format.
Future changes to this file should be aware of 2 new conventions:
- output that is part of the TAP reporting is piped through tap_output
- general output is piped through tap_prefix

Create a selftest that exercises the race between page faults and
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in the same huge page. Do it by running two
threads that touches the huge page and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) at the same
time.
In case of a SIGBUS coming at pagefault, the test should fail, since we
hit the bug.
The test doesn't have a signal handler, and if it fails, it fails like
the following
----------------------------------
running ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv
----------------------------------
./run_vmtests.sh: line 186: 595563 Bus error (core dumped) "$@"
[FAIL]
This selftest goes together with the fix of the bug[1] itself.

It is very unclear to me how one is supposed to run all the mm selftests
consistently and get clear results.
Most of the test programs are launched by both run_vmtests.sh and
run_kselftest.sh:
hugepage-mmap
hugepage-shm
map_hugetlb
hugepage-mremap
hugepage-vmemmap
hugetlb-madvise
map_fixed_noreplace
gup_test
gup_longterm
uffd-unit-tests
uffd-stress
compaction_test
on-fault-limit
map_populate
mlock-random-test
mlock2-tests
mrelease_test
mremap_test
thuge-gen
virtual_address_range
va_high_addr_switch
mremap_dontunmap
hmm-tests
madv_populate
memfd_secret
ksm_tests
ksm_functional_tests
soft-dirty
cow
However, of this set, when launched by run_vmtests.sh, some of the
programs are invoked multiple times with different arguments. When
invoked by run_kselftest.sh, they are invoked without arguments (and as
a consequence, some fail immediately).
Some test programs are only launched by run_vmtests.sh:
test_vmalloc.sh
And some test programs and only launched by run_kselftest.sh:
khugepaged
migration
mkdirty
transhuge-stress
split_huge_page_test
mdwe_test
write_to_hugetlbfs
Furthermore, run_vmtests.sh is invoked by run_kselftest.sh, so in this
case all the test programs invoked by both scripts are run twice!
Needless to say, this is a bit of a mess. In the absence of fully
understanding the history here, it looks to me like the best solution is
to launch ALL test programs from run_vmtests.sh, and ONLY invoke
run_vmtests.sh from run_kselftest.sh. This way, we get full control over
the parameters, each program is only invoked the intended number of
times, and regardless of which script is used, the same tests get run in
the same way.
The only drawback is that if using run_kselftest.sh, it's top-level tap
result reporting reports only a single test and it fails if any of the
contained tests fail. I don't see this as a big deal though since we
still see all the nested reporting from multiple layers. The other issue
with this is that all of run_vmtests.sh must execute within a single
kselftest timeout period, so let's increase that to something more
suitable.
In the Makefile, TEST_GEN_PROGS will compile and install the tests and
will add them to the list of tests that run_kselftest.sh will run.
TEST_GEN_FILES will compile and install the tests but will not add them
to the test list. So let's move all the programs from TEST_GEN_PROGS to
TEST_GEN_FILES so that they are built but not executed by
run_kselftest.sh. Note that run_vmtests.sh is added to TEST_PROGS, which
means it ends up in the test list. (the lack of "_GEN" means it won't be
compiled, but simply copied).

arm64 does not support the soft-dirty PTE bit. However, the `soft-dirty`
test suite is currently run unconditionally and therefore generates
spurious test failures on arm64. There are also some tests in
`madv_populate` which assume it is supported.
For `soft-dirty` lets disable the whole suite for arm64; it is no longer
built and run_vmtests.sh will skip it if its not present.
For `madv_populate`, we need a runtime mechanism so that the remaining
tests continue to be run. Unfortunately, the only way to determine if the
soft-dirty dirty bit is supported is to write to a page, then see if the
bit is set in /proc/self/pagemap. But the tests that we want to
conditionally execute are testing precicesly this. So if we introduced
this feature check, we could accedentally turn a real failure (on a system
that claims to support soft-dirty) into a skip. So instead, do the check
based on architecture; for arm64, we report that soft-dirty is not
supported.
