Subject: [RFC PATCH v2] mm/vmalloc: fix vbq->free list breakage

From: "Hailong.Liu" <hailong.liu@...o.com>

The function xa_for_each() in _vm_unmap_aliases() loops through all
vbs. However, since commit 062eacf57ad9 ("mm: vmalloc: remove a global
vmap_blocks xarray") the vb from xarray may not be on the corresponding
CPU vmap_block_queue. Consequently, purge_fragmented_block() might
use the wrong vbq->lock to protect the free list, leading to vbq->free
breakage.

Incorrect lock protection can exhaust all vmalloc space as follows:
CPU0                                            CPU1
+--------------------------------------------+

                                                new_vmap_block()
xa_for_each(&vbq->vmap_blocks, idx, vb)
--> vb in CPU1:vbq->freelist

list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list)                    list_add_tail_rcu(&vb->free_list, &vbq->free)
    __list_del(vb->prev, vb->next)

+--------------------------------------------+
Here’s a list breakdown. All vbs, which were to be added to
‘prev’, cannot be used by list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb, &vbq->free,
free_list) in vb_alloc(). Thus, vmalloc space is exhausted.

This issue affects both erofs and f2fs, the stacktrace is as follows:

To fix this, replace xa_for_each() with list_for_each_entry_rcu()
which reverts commit fc1e0d980037 ("mm/vmalloc: prevent stale TLBs
in fully utilized blocks")

BTW Reverting other people’s submissions is a foolish act. But we need a mapping
from vmap_block to vmap_block_queue, I saw zhaoyang already send a patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/patch/20240531005007.1600287-1-zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com/
use cpuid. pls free to use my commit message here to help others
clarify the issue.

fc1e0d980037 ("mm/vmalloc: prevent stale TLBs in fully utilized blocks")
IMO, if caller could call vb_free, it would be not used address again.
so I don't know whether we need to flush TLB here. and loop through from free
list looks more resonable to me.
