[PATCH 01/10] mm/vma: don't leak the commit charge on mmap failure

["David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>]

From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>

When an accountable mapping replaces existing mappings (MAP_FIXED),
__mmap_setup() only charges the difference between the size of the new
mapping and the VM_ACCOUNT pages it replaces. It then zeroes
vms->nr_accounted so that unmapping the old VMAs does not return their
charge, which now backs the new mapping.

If the operation fails after that point, the error path returns
map->charged, i.e. only the difference. By then vms_clean_up_area() has
zapped the page tables and closed the old VMAs, so
vms_abort_munmap_vmas() cannot reattach them. It leaves a gap and
finishes the unmap with vms_complete_munmap_vmas(), which uncharges
vms->nr_accounted == 0 pages. The old VMAs are gone, the new one was
never created, and the charge of the old ones is never returned, not
even when the process exits.

No privilege is needed to hit this, only a file whose mmap hook fails,
for example a socket (sock_no_mmap() returns -ENODEV):

	p = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
		 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
	mmap(p, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED,
	     socket_fd, 0);

Every iteration adds len to Committed_AS for good. With
vm.overcommit_memory=2 this lets any user make all further accountable
allocations in the system fail with -ENOMEM.

Once the new mapping has taken over the charge of the mappings it
replaces, it owns the charge for all of its pages. Record that in
map->charged, so that the error path returns all of it.

A failure in __mmap_setup() itself is not affected: it happens before
the charge is taken over and the old VMAs are reattached with their
charge intact.

Original fix generated by an LLM and sent in private by Josef.
