2014-12-03slab: fix nodeid bounds check for non-contiguous node IDsPaul Mackerras1-1/+1
The bounds check for nodeid in ____cache_alloc_node gives false positives on machines where the node IDs are not contiguous, leading to a panic at boot time. For example, on a POWER8 machine the node IDs are typically 0, 1, 16 and 17. This means that num_online_nodes() returns 4, so when ____cache_alloc_node is called with nodeid = 16 the VM_BUG_ON triggers, like this: kernel BUG at /home/paulus/kernel/kvm/mm/slab.c:3079! Call Trace: .____cache_alloc_node+0x5c/0x270 (unreliable) .kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0xdc/0x360 .init_list+0x3c/0x128 .kmem_cache_init+0x1dc/0x258 .start_kernel+0x2a0/0x568 start_here_common+0x20/0xa8 To fix this, we instead compare the nodeid with MAX_NUMNODES, and additionally make sure it isn't negative (since nodeid is an int). The check is there mainly to protect the array dereference in the get_node() call in the next line, and the array being dereferenced is of size MAX_NUMNODES. If the nodeid is in range but invalid (for example if the node is off-line), the BUG_ON in the next line will catch that.

2014-12-03mm: fix anon_vma_clone() error treatmentDaniel Forrest2-5/+11
Andrew Morton noticed that the error return from anon_vma_clone() was being dropped and replaced with -ENOMEM (which is not itself a bug because the only error return value from anon_vma_clone() is -ENOMEM). I did an audit of callers of anon_vma_clone() and discovered an actual bug where the error return was being lost. In __split_vma(), between Linux 3.11 and 3.12 the code was changed so the err variable is used before the call to anon_vma_clone() and the default initial value of -ENOMEM is overwritten. So a failure of anon_vma_clone() will return success since err at this point is now zero. Below is a patch which fixes this bug and also propagates the error return value from anon_vma_clone() in all cases.

2014-12-03mm: fix swapoff hang after page migration and forkHugh Dickins1-13/+13
I've been seeing swapoff hangs in recent testing: it's cycling around trying unsuccessfully to find an mm for some remaining pages of swap. I have been exercising swap and page migration more heavily recently, and now notice a long-standing error in copy_one_pte(): it's trying to add dst_mm to swapoff's mmlist when it finds a swap entry, but is doing so even when it's a migration entry or an hwpoison entry. Which wouldn't matter much, except it adds dst_mm next to src_mm, assuming src_mm is already on the mmlist: which may not be so. Then if pages are later swapped out from dst_mm, swapoff won't be able to find where to replace them. There's already a !non_swap_entry() test for stats: move that up before the swap_duplicate() and the addition to mmlist.

2014-12-03mm: frontswap: invalidate expired data on a dup-store failureWeijie Yang1-1/+3
If a frontswap dup-store failed, it should invalidate the expired page in the backend, or it could trigger some data corruption issue. Such as: 1. use zswap as the frontswap backend with writeback feature 2. store a swap page(version_1) to entry A, success 3. dup-store a newer page(version_2) to the same entry A, fail 4. use __swap_writepage() write version_2 page to swapfile, success 5. zswap do shrink, writeback version_1 page to swapfile 6. version_2 page is overwrited by version_1, data corrupt. This patch fixes this issue by invalidating expired data immediately when meet a dup-store failure.

2014-11-18x86, mpx: Cleanup unused bound tablesDave Hansen1-0/+2
The previous patch allocates bounds tables on-demand. As noted in an earlier description, these can add up to *HUGE* amounts of memory. This has caused OOMs in practice when running tests. This patch adds support for freeing bounds tables when they are no longer in use. There are two types of mappings in play when unmapping tables: 1. The mapping with the actual data, which userspace is munmap()ing or brk()ing away, etc... 2. The mapping for the bounds table *backing* the data (is tagged with VM_MPX, see the patch "add MPX specific mmap interface"). If userspace use the prctl() indroduced earlier in this patchset to enable the management of bounds tables in kernel, when it unmaps the first type of mapping with the actual data, the kernel needs to free the mapping for the bounds table backing the data. This patch hooks in at the very end of do_unmap() to do so. We look at the addresses being unmapped and find the bounds directory entries and tables which cover those addresses. If an entire table is unused, we clear associated directory entry and free the table. Once we unmap the bounds table, we would have a bounds directory entry pointing at empty address space. That address space might now be allocated for some other (random) use, and the MPX hardware might now try to walk it as if it were a bounds table. That would be bad. So any unmapping of an enture bounds table has to be accompanied by a corresponding write to the bounds directory entry to invalidate it. That write to the bounds directory can fault, which causes the following problem: Since we are doing the freeing from munmap() (and other paths like it), we hold mmap_sem for write. If we fault, the page fault handler will attempt to acquire mmap_sem for read and we will deadlock. To avoid the deadlock, we pagefault_disable() when touching the bounds directory entry and use a get_user_pages() to resolve the fault. The unmapping of bounds tables happends under vm_munmap(). We also (indirectly) call vm_munmap() to _do_ the unmapping of the bounds tables. We avoid unbounded recursion by disallowing freeing of bounds tables *for* bounds tables. This would not occur normally, so should not have any practical impact. Being strict about it here helps ensure that we do not have an exploitable stack overflow.

2014-11-17mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic codeWill Deacon1-22/+8
On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages , it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to tlb_remove_tlb_entry. arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range. This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that the end of the range has actually been set.

2014-11-14mem-hotplug: reset node managed pages when hot-adding a new pgdatTang Chen3-7/+19
In free_area_init_core(), zone->managed_pages is set to an approximate value for lowmem, and will be adjusted when the bootmem allocator frees pages into the buddy system. But free_area_init_core() is also called by hotadd_new_pgdat() when hot-adding memory. As a result, zone->managed_pages of the newly added node's pgdat is set to an approximate value in the very beginning. Even if the memory on that node has node been onlined, /sys/device/system/node/nodeXXX/meminfo has wrong value: hot-add node2 (memory not onlined) cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo Node 2 MemTotal: 33554432 kB Node 2 MemFree: 0 kB Node 2 MemUsed: 33554432 kB Node 2 Active: 0 kB This patch fixes this problem by reset node managed pages to 0 after hot-adding a new node. 1.

2014-11-14mm/debug-pagealloc: correct freepage accounting and order resettingJoonsoo Kim1-3/+5
One thing I did in this patch is fixing freepage accounting. If we clear guard page and link it onto isolate buddy list, we should not increase freepage count. This patch adds conditional branch to skip counting in this case. Without this patch, this overcounting happens frequently if guard order is set and CMA is used. Another thing fixed in this patch is the target to reset order. In __free_one_page(), we check the buddy page whether it is a guard page or not. And, if so, we should clear guard attribute on the buddy page and reset order of it to 0. But, current code resets original page's order rather than buddy one's. Maybe, this doesn't have any problem, because whole merged page's order will be re-assigned soon. But, it is better to correct code.

2014-11-14mm, compaction: prevent infinite loop in compact_zoneVlastimil Babka1-2/+6
Several people have reported occasionally seeing processes stuck in compact_zone(), even triggering soft lockups, in 3.18-rc2+. Testing a revert of commit e14c720efdd7 ("mm, compaction: remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner") fixed the issue, although the stuck processes do not appear to involve the free scanner. Finally, by code inspection, the bug was found in isolate_migratepages() which uses a slightly different condition to detect if the migration and free scanners have met, than compact_finished(). That has not been a problem until commit e14c720efdd7 allowed the free scanner position between individual invocations to be in the middle of a pageblock. In a relatively rare case, the migration scanner position can end up at the beginning of a pageblock, with the free scanner position in the middle of the same pageblock. If it's the migration scanner's turn, isolate_migratepages() exits immediately (without updating the position), while compact_finished() decides to continue compaction, resulting in a potentially infinite loop. The system can recover only if another process creates enough high-order pages to make the watermark checks in compact_finished() pass. This patch fixes the immediate problem by bumping the migration scanner's position to meet the free scanner in isolate_migratepages(), when both are within the same pageblock. This causes compact_finished() to terminate properly. A more robust check in compact_finished() is planned as a cleanup for better future maintainability.

2014-11-14mm: alloc_contig_range: demote pages busy message from warn to infoMichal Nazarewicz1-3/+2
Having test_pages_isolated failure message as a warning confuses users into thinking that it is more serious than it really is. In reality, if called via CMA, allocation will be retried so a single test_pages_isolated failure does not prevent allocation from succeeding.

Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the slab in SLAB.

2014-11-14mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblockJoonsoo Kim3-29/+78
Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock. A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged.

2014-11-14mm/page_alloc: add freepage on isolate pageblock to correct buddy listJoonsoo Kim1-5/+8
In free_pcppages_bulk(), we use cached migratetype of freepage to determine type of buddy list where freepage will be added. This information is stored when freepage is added to pcp list, so if isolation of pageblock of this freepage begins after storing, this cached information could be stale. In other words, it has original migratetype rather than MIGRATE_ISOLATE. There are two problems caused by this stale information. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage will be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is incorrect freepage accounting. Freepages on isolate pageblock should not be counted for number of freepage. Following is the code snippet in free_pcppages_bulk(). /* MIGRATE_MOVABLE list may include MIGRATE_RESERVEs */ __free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, 0, mt); trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain(page, 0, mt); if (likely(!is_migrate_isolate_page(page))) { __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, 1); if (is_migrate_cma(mt)) __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES, 1); } As you can see above snippet, current code already handle second problem, incorrect freepage accounting, by re-fetching pageblock migratetype through is_migrate_isolate_page(page). But, because this re-fetched information isn't used for __free_one_page(), first problem would not be solved. This patch try to solve this situation to re-fetch pageblock migratetype before __free_one_page() and to use it for __free_one_page(). In addition to move up position of this re-fetch, this patch use optimization technique, re-fetching migratetype only if there is isolate pageblock. Pageblock isolation is rare event, so we can avoid re-fetching in common case with this optimization. This patch also correct migratetype of the tracepoint output.

2014-11-14mm/page_alloc: fix incorrect isolation behavior by rechecking migratetypeJoonsoo Kim2-2/+11
Before describing bugs itself, I first explain definition of freepage. 1. pages on buddy list are counted as freepage. 2. pages on isolate migratetype buddy list are *not* counted as freepage. 3. pages on cma buddy list are counted as CMA freepage, too. Now, I describe problems and related patch. Patch 1: There is race conditions on getting pageblock migratetype that it results in misplacement of freepages on buddy list, incorrect freepage count and un-availability of freepage. Patch 2: Freepages on pcp list could have stale cached information to determine migratetype of buddy list to go. This causes misplacement of freepages on buddy list and incorrect freepage count. Patch 4: Merging between freepages on different migratetype of pageblocks will cause freepages accouting problem. This patch fixes it. Without patchset [3], above problem doesn't happens on my CMA allocation test, because CMA reserved pages aren't used at all. So there is no chance for above race. With patchset [3], I did simple CMA allocation test and get below result: - Virtual machine, 4 cpus, 1024 MB memory, 256 MB CMA reservation - run kernel build (make -j16) on background - 30 times CMA allocation(8MB * 30 = 240MB) attempts in 5 sec interval - Result: more than 5000 freepage count are missed With patchset [3] and this patchset, I found that no freepage count are missed so that I conclude that problems are solved. On my simple memory offlining test, these problems also occur on that environment, too. This patch (of 4): There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator, __free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page(). Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch will solve the problem in second type of freepath. In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page without holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases of this race. 1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal migratetype CPU1 CPU2 get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE grab the zone lock unisolate pageblock release the zone lock grab the zone lock call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepage go into isolate buddy list, although pageblock is already unisolated This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are counted as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy list is inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration of freepage accouting so it could be incorrect. 2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated. It is similar with above case. This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting. This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation and it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much as possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock in struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock. With this, we can avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do it only if there is isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. This solve above mentioned problems. Changes from v3: Add one more check in free_one_page() that checks whether migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE or not. Without this, abovementioned case 1 could happens.

2014-11-14mm/compaction: skip the range until proper target pageblock is metJoonsoo Kim1-0/+10
Commit 7d49d8868336 ("mm, compaction: reduce zone checking frequency in the migration scanner") has a side-effect that changes the iteration range calculation. Before the change, block_end_pfn is calculated using start_pfn, but now it blindly adds pageblock_nr_pages to the previous value. This causes the problem that isolation_start_pfn is larger than block_end_pfn when we isolate the page with more than pageblock order. In this case, isolation would fail due to an invalid range parameter. To prevent this, this patch implements skipping the range until a proper target pageblock is met. Without this patch, CMA with more than pageblock order always fails but with this patch it will succeed.

2014-11-13Fix thinko in iov_iter_single_seg_countPaul Mackerras1-2/+2
The branches of the if (i->type & ITER_BVEC) statement in iov_iter_single_seg_count() are the wrong way around; if ITER_BVEC is clear then we use i->bvec, when we should be using i->iov. This fixes it. In my case, the symptom that this caused was that a KVM guest doing filesystem operations on a virtual disk would result in one of qemu's threads on the host going into an infinite loop in generic_perform_write(). The loop would hit the copied == 0 case and call iov_iter_single_seg_count() to reduce the number of bytes to try to process, but because of the error, iov_iter_single_seg_count() would just return i->count and the loop made no progress and continued forever.

The bulkstat fixes are large but necessary. I wouldn't normally push such a rework for a -rcX update, but right now xfsdump can silently create incomplete dumps on 3.17 and it's possible that even xfsrestore won't notice that the dumps were incomplete. Hence we need to get this update into 3.17-stable kernels ASAP. In more detail, the refactoring work I committed in 3.17 has exposed a major hole in our QA coverage. With both xfsdump (the major user of bulkstat) and xfsrestore silently ignoring missing files in the dump/restore process, incomplete dumps were going unnoticed if they were being triggered. Many of the dump/restore filesets were so small that they didn't evenhave a chance of triggering the loop iteration bugs we introduced in 3.17, so we didn't exercise the code sufficiently, either. We have already taken steps to improve QA coverage in xfstests to avoid this happening again, and I've done a lot of manual verification of dump/restore on very large data sets (tens of millions of inodes) of the past week to verify this patch set results in bulkstat behaving the same way as it does on 3.16. Unfortunately, the fixes are not exactly simple - in tracking down the problem historic API warts were discovered (e.g xfsdump has been working around a 20 year old bug in the bulkstat API for the past 10 years) and so that complicated the process of diagnosing and fixing the problems. i.e. we had to fix bugs in the code as well as discover and re-introduce the userspace visible API bugs that we unwittingly "fixed" in 3.17 that xfsdump relied on to work correctly.

The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there was long standing bug with this behavior: - create the cache named "foo" - create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo") - delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar" uses it) - create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo" is already used That bug was fixed in commit 694617474e33 ("slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when the SLUB subsystem is used. Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in 12220dea07f1 ("mm/slab: support slab merge")). Therefore we need stop checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem.

2014-10-30mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accountingJohannes Weiner3-68/+79
Commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed page migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked, unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly: test_clear_page_writeback() migration wait_on_page_writeback() TestClearPageWriteback() mem_cgroup_migrate() clear PCG_USED mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) decrease memcg pages under writeback release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path, which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later. Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge the page as long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the memcg past uncharge. As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead. There is no actual difference: old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% ) new: 33.199231369 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.03% ) The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced: # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol old: 0.12% 0.11% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap new: 0.12% 0.08% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.17.x] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Call Trace: dump_stack+0x46/0x58 warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0xa0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 free_area_init_node+0x3fe/0x426 hotadd_new_pgdat+0x90/0x110 add_memory+0xd4/0x200 acpi_memory_device_add+0x1aa/0x289 acpi_bus_attach+0xfd/0x204 acpi_bus_attach+0x178/0x204 acpi_bus_scan+0x6a/0x90 acpi_device_hotplug+0xe8/0x418 acpi_hotplug_work_fn+0x1f/0x2b process_one_work+0x14e/0x3f0 worker_thread+0x11b/0x510 kthread+0xe1/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 The detaled explanation is as follows: When hot removing memory, pgdat is set to 0 in try_offline_node(). But if the pgdat is allocated by bootmem allocator, the clearing step is skipped. And when hot adding the same memory, the uninitialized pgdat is reused. But free_area_init_node() checks wether pgdat is set to zero. As a result, free_area_init_node() hits WARN_ON(). This patch clears pgdat which is allocated by bootmem allocator in try_offline_node().

2014-10-30mm, thp: fix collapsing of hugepages on madviseDavid Rientjes2-9/+10
If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never collapse this memory into thp memory. This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(), clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags until the final action of madvise_behavior(). This causes the khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set. Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot handler. There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem. It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case behavior into madvise_behavior(). I think it's best to just let it always set vma->vm_flags itself. Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reported-by: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.
