These patches include few backported fixes for the 4.4 stable tree. I would appreciate if you could kindly consider including them in the next release.

commit f958d7b528b1b40c44cfda5eabe2d82760d868c3 upsteam.
We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count.
That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON).
Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative territory.

commit 88b1a17dfc3ed7728316478fae0f5ad508f50397 upsteam.
This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only does so if the count was "safe". It returns whether the reference count was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously has to be aware of it).
Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already had a reference to the page. The intent is that you can use this exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the maximum reference count.
The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification that the conditional non-increment actually happened.
NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).

commit a3e328556d41bb61c55f9dfcc62d6a826ea97b85 upstream.
When operating on hugepages with DEBUG_VM enabled, the GUP code checks the compound head for each tail page prior to calling page_cache_add_speculative. This is broken, because on the fast-GUP path (where we don't hold any page table locks) we can be racing with a concurrent invocation of split_huge_page_to_list.
split_huge_page_to_list deals with this race by using page_ref_freeze to freeze the page and force concurrent GUPs to fail whilst the component pages are modified. This modification includes clearing the compound_head field for the tail pages, so checking this prior to a successful call to page_cache_add_speculative can lead to false positives: In fact, page_cache_add_speculative *already* has this check once the page refcount has been successfully updated, so we can simply remove the broken calls to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

From: Punit Agrawal punit.agrawal@arm.com
commit d63206ee32b6e64b0e12d46e5d6004afd9913713 upstream.
When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the page returned by pmd_page() is the head page. Although normally true, this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or PMD levels.
This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the head page within the function.
We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate page, i.e., the de-referenced head.
Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.

From: Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org
commit 8fde12ca79aff9b5ba951fce1a2641901b8d8e64 upstream.
If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while there are still four billion references to it. One of the possible avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO on a page multiple times. This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion references to the page.

commit 15fab63e1e57be9fdb5eec1bbc5916e9825e9acb upstream.
Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page). This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount. All callers converted to handle a failure.

The x86 version of get_user_pages_fast() relies on disabled interrupts to synchronize gup_pte_range() between gup_get_pte(ptep); and get_page() against a parallel munmap. The munmap side nulls the pte, then flushes TLBs, then releases the page. As TLB flush is done synchronously via IPI disabling interrupts blocks the page release, and get_page(), which assumes existing reference on page, is thus safe. However when TLB flush is done by a hypercall, e.g. in a Xen PV guest, there is no blocking thanks to disabled interrupts, and get_page() can succeed on a page that was already freed or even reused.
We have recently seen this happen with our 4.4 and 4.12 based kernels, with userspace (java) that exits a thread, where mm_release() performs a futex_wake() on tsk->clear_child_tid, and another thread in parallel unmaps the page where tsk->clear_child_tid points to. The spurious get_page() succeeds, but futex code immediately releases the page again, while it's already on a freelist. Symptoms include a bad page state warning, general protection faults acessing a poisoned list prev/next pointer in the freelist, or free page pcplists of two cpus joined together in a single list. Oscar has also reproduced this scenario, with a patch inserting delays before the get_page() to make the race window larger.
Fix this by removing the dependency on TLB flush interrupts the same way as the generic get_user_pages_fast() code by using page_cache_add_speculative() and revalidating the PTE contents after pinning the page. Mainline is safe since 4.13 where the x86 gup code was removed in favor of the common code. Accessing the page table itself safely also relies on disabled interrupts and TLB flush IPIs that don't happen with hypercalls, which was acknowledged in commit 9e52fc2b50de ("x86/mm: Enable RCU based page table freeing (CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y)"). That commit with follups should also be backported for full safety, although our reproducer didn't hit a problem without that backport.

Greg, last month I posted this series [1] for v4.4.y (including Vlastimil's change).
There were some discussion for [PATCH v3 8/8] [2] and no further discussion once I specified it's for 4.4.y. Please suggest, if I need to repost this series again.
