Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is
split to >0 order
folio split clears PG_has_hwpoisoned, but the flag should be preserved in
after-split folios containing pages with PG_hwpoisoned flag if the folio
is split to >0 order folios. Scan all pages in a to-be-split folio to
determine which after-split folios need the flag.
An alternatives is to change PG_has_hwpoisoned to PG_maybe_hwpoisoned to
avoid the scan and set it on all after-split folios, but resulting false
positive has undesirable negative impact. To remove false positive,
caller of folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() and folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page()
needs to do the scan. That might be causing a hassle for current and
future callers and more costly than doing the scan in the split code.
More details are discussed in [1].
This issue can be exposed via:
1. splitting a has_hwpoisoned folio to >0 order from debugfs interface;
2. truncating part of a has_hwpoisoned folio in
truncate_inode_partial_folio().
And later accesses to a hwpoisoned page could be possible due to the
missing has_hwpoisoned folio flag. This will lead to MCE errors.

Subject: [PATCH] net: netpoll: fix incorrect refcount handling causing
incorrect cleanup
commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") incorrectly
ignored the refcount and prematurely set dev->npinfo to NULL during
netpoll cleanup, leading to improper behavior and memory leaks.
Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup:
1) A netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is
allocated, and refcnt = 1
- Keep in mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In
this case, there is just one.
2) Another netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and
npinfo->refcnt += 1.
- Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2;
- There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev.
3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up:
- The first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring
refcnt.
- It basically calls `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);`
- Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup
- No ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called
4) Now the second target tries to clean up
- The second cleanup fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL.
* In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never called, and
the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll
instance)
- This leaks npinfo and skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by
kmemleak.
Revert commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") and adds
clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen
once the refcount reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll
behavior.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: do not change split_huge_page*() target order
silently
Page cache folios from a file system that support large block size (LBS)
can have minimal folio order greater than 0, thus a high order folio might
not be able to be split down to order-0. Commit e220917fa507 ("mm: split
a folio in minimum folio order chunks") bumps the target order of
split_huge_page*() to the minimum allowed order when splitting a LBS
folio. This causes confusion for some split_huge_page*() callers like
memory failure handling code, since they expect after-split folios all
have order-0 when split succeeds but in reality get min_order_for_split()
order folios and give warnings.
Fix it by failing a split if the folio cannot be split to the target
order. Rename try_folio_split() to try_folio_split_to_order() to reflect
the added new_order parameter. Remove its unused list parameter.
[The test poisons LBS folios, which cannot be split to order-0 folios, and
also tries to poison all memory. The non split LBS folios take more
memory than the test anticipated, leading to OOM. The patch fixed the
kernel warning and the test needs some change to avoid OOM.]

Subject: [PATCH] mm/secretmem: fix use-after-free race in fault handler
When a page fault occurs in a secret memory file created with
`memfd_secret(2)`, the kernel will allocate a new folio for it, mark the
underlying page as not-present in the direct map, and add it to the file
mapping.
If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end
up allocating a folio and removing the page from the direct map, but only
one would succeed in adding the folio to the file mapping. The task that
failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the folio again
and (b) putting the page back into the direct map. However, by doing
these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the
allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping.
If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the
kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a
supervisor not-present page fault.
Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the folio is freed.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/secretmem: fix use-after-free race in fault handler
When a page fault occurs in a secret memory file created with
`memfd_secret(2)`, the kernel will allocate a new folio for it, mark the
underlying page as not-present in the direct map, and add it to the file
mapping.
If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end
up allocating a folio and removing the page from the direct map, but only
one would succeed in adding the folio to the file mapping. The task that
failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the folio again
and (b) putting the page back into the direct map. However, by doing
these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the
allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping.
If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the
kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a
supervisor not-present page fault.
Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the folio is freed.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Inject #UD if guest tries to execute SEAMCALL or
TDCALL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add VMX exit handlers for SEAMCALL and TDCALL to inject a #UD if a non-TD
guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL. Neither SEAMCALL nor TDCALL
is gated by any software enablement other than VMXON, and so will generate
a VM-Exit instead of e.g. a native #UD when executed from the guest kernel.
Note! No unprivileged DoS of the L1 kernel is possible as TDCALL and
SEAMCALL #GP at CPL > 0, and the CPL check is performed prior to the VMX
non-root (VM-Exit) check, i.e. userspace can't crash the VM. And for a
nested guest, KVM forwards unknown exits to L1, i.e. an L2 kernel can
crash itself, but not L1.
Note #2! The Intel® Trust Domain CPU Architectural Extensions spec's
pseudocode shows the CPL > 0 check for SEAMCALL coming _after_ the VM-Exit,
but that appears to be a documentation bug (likely because the CPL > 0
check was incorrectly bundled with other lower-priority #GP checks).
Testing on SPR and EMR shows that the CPL > 0 check is performed before
the VMX non-root check, i.e. SEAMCALL #GPs when executed in usermode.
Note #3! The aforementioned Trust Domain spec uses confusing pseudocode
that says that SEAMCALL will #UD if executed "inSEAM", but "inSEAM"
specifically means in SEAM Root Mode, i.e. in the TDX-Module. The long-
form description explicitly states that SEAMCALL generates an exit when
executed in "SEAM VMX non-root operation". But that's a moot point as the
TDX-Module injects #UD if the guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL, as
documented in the "Unconditionally Blocked Instructions" section of the
TDX-Module base specification.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/truncate: unmap large folio on split failure
Accesses within VMA, but beyond i_size rounded up to PAGE_SIZE are
supposed to generate SIGBUS.
This behavior might not be respected on truncation.
During truncation, the kernel splits a large folio in order to reclaim
memory. As a side effect, it unmaps the folio and destroys PMD mappings
of the folio. The folio will be refaulted as PTEs and SIGBUS semantics
are preserved.
However, if the split fails, PMD mappings are preserved and the user will
not receive SIGBUS on any accesses within the PMD.
Unmap the folio on split failure. It will lead to refault as PTEs and
preserve SIGBUS semantics.
Make an exception for shmem/tmpfs that for long time intentionally mapped
with PMDs across i_size.
