2014-04-29mm: don't pointlessly use BUG_ON() for sanity checkLinus Torvalds1-3/+5
BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be terminated with extreme prejudice. The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal error. Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON() just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage. To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better coverage. BUG_ON() must *die*. Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it, because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you hit some "this cannot happen" situation.

2014-04-26mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing partsLinus Torvalds1-19/+34
The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that the TLB entries pointed at. This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped. This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock, page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.

2014-04-23mm: make fixup_user_fault() check the vma access rights tooLinus Torvalds1-0/+5
fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable form or return an error. It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed. So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand. [ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers - notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when they are mapped with PROT_NONE. Maybe we should re-visit that design decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ] Found by Dave Jones running his trinity tool.

2014-04-19thp: close race between split and zap huge pagesKirill A. Shutemov1-3/+10
Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2]. I believe both of them have the same root cause. Let's look to them one by one. The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!". It's BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page(). From my testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here. I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and page_check_address_pmd(). page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is under zap: CPU0 CPU1 zap_huge_pmd() pmdp_get_and_clear() __split_huge_page() anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() __split_huge_page_splitting() page_check_address_pmd() mm_find_pmd() /* * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD, * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page(). */ pmd_present(pmd) == 0 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!! page_remove_rmap(page) atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount) The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!". It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd(). This happens in similar way: CPU0 CPU1 zap_huge_pmd() pmdp_get_and_clear() page_remove_rmap(page) atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount) __split_huge_page() anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() __split_huge_page_splitting() page_check_address_pmd() mm_find_pmd() pmd_present(pmd) == 0 /* The same comment as above */ /* * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in * zap_huge_pmd(). */ BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) /* * We split the compound page here into small pages without * serialization against zap_huge_pmd() */ __split_huge_page_refcount() VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!! So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd() without taking page table lock. The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac42. Sorry for that. :( Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the check under page table lock. Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires if sync != 0. I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore first).

2014-04-11mm: slab/slub: use page->list consistently instead of page->lruDave Hansen2-7/+7
'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'. Conveniently, they are unioned together. This means that code can use them interchangably, which gets horribly confusing like with this nugget from slab.c: > list_del(&page->lru); > if (page->active == cachep->num) > list_add(&page->list, &n->slabs_full); This patch makes the slab and slub code use page->lru universally instead of mixing ->list and ->lru. So, the new rule is: page->lru is what the you use if you want to keep your page on a list. Don't like the fact that it's not called ->list? Too bad.

2014-04-09mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is lowJohannes Weiner1-15/+1
Page reclaim force-scans / swaps anonymous pages when file cache drops below the high watermark of a zone in order to prevent what little cache remains from thrashing. However, on bigger machines the high watermark value can be quite large and when the workload is dominated by a static anonymous/shmem set, the file set might just be a small window of used-once cache. In such situations, the VM starts swapping heavily when instead it should be recycling the no longer used cache. This is a longer-standing problem, but it's more likely to trigger after commit 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") because file pages can no longer accumulate in a single zone and are dispersed into smaller fractions among the available zones. To resolve this, do not force scan anon when file pages are low but instead rely on the scan/rotation ratios to make the right prediction.

2014-04-08slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg cachesVladimir Davydov1-1/+25
Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same manner as for global caches. Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg cache in case its parent is merged with another cache. For instance, if A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the following sysfs setup: X A -> X B -> X where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()). Now if memcgs M and N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get: X X:M X:N A -> X B -> X A:M -> X:M A:N -> X:N Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is confusing. It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the corresponding root cache's sysfs directory. This would allow us to keep sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described above. This patch does the trick. It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

2014-04-08memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliasesVladimir Davydov2-32/+56
Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0), kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this one: kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x49/0x5b kmem_cache_destroy+0xdf/0xf0 kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children+0x97/0xc0 kmem_cache_destroy+0xf/0xf0 xfs_mru_cache_uninit+0x21/0x30 [xfs] exit_xfs_fs+0x2e/0xc44 [xfs] SyS_delete_module+0x198/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a memcg cache - the kernel will panic. This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps a reference to its parent.

2014-04-08memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy itVladimir Davydov2-7/+8
Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after __kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to destroy the cache. As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already freed data). To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

2014-04-08memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creationVladimir Davydov2-51/+43
This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows: - Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called from kmem_cache_create_memcg(). This allows us to get rid of the mutex protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex. - Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function serves as a proxy to kmem_cache_create_memcg(). After separating the cache name creation path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from the new cache, i.e. has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc. If there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply increment the refcount of the cache found and return it. Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but also for memcg caches. However, there is no point in that, because, as every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing "slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg caches should be merged already, i.e. it must be the same root cache, and therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it already exists. The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be merged by setting their refcount to -1. There are currently only two of them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately after creation). Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I guess we should avoid to merge their children too. So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

2014-04-08mm/zswap: support multiple swap devicesMinchan Kim1-31/+33
Cai Liu reporeted that now zbud pool pages counting has a problem when multiple swap is used because it just counts only one swap intead of all of swap so zswap cannot control writeback properly. The result is unnecessary writeback or no writeback when we should really writeback. IOW, it made zswap crazy. Another problem in zswap is: For example, let's assume we use two swap A and B with different priority and A already has charged 19% long time ago and let's assume that A swap is full now so VM start to use B so that B has charged 1% recently. It menas zswap charged (19% + 1%) is full by default. Then, if VM want to swap out more pages into B, zbud_reclaim_page would be evict one of pages in B's pool and it would be repeated continuously. It's totally LRU reverse problem and swap thrashing in B would happen. This patch makes zswap consider mutliple swap by creating *a* zbud pool which will be shared by multiple swap so all of zswap pages in multiple swap keep order by LRU so it can prevent above two problems.

2014-04-08mm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOLJohn Hubbard1-1/+1
A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call get_page() and a few other routines. This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL. Longer explanation: Prior to commit 309381feaee5 ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL) drivers on Fedora. Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG. Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(), via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page(). As one of the authors of NVIDIA's new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c, because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use by non-GPL, driver code. So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be too controversial. We did check with Fedora first, and they responded (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change. Their reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

2014-04-08mm: hugetlb: fix softlockup when a large number of hugepages are freed.Mizuma, Masayoshi1-0/+1
When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup happens. It is because there is no chance of context switch during this process. On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is some chance of context switch. Hence softlockup doesn't happen during this process. So it's necessary to add the context switch in the freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup. When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message appeared twice or more. $ echo 6000000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages $ cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 6000000 $ grep ^Huge /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 6000000 HugePages_Free: 6000000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages BUG: soft lockup - CPU#16 stuck for 67s!

However I confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly proportional to the amount of required time. I measured required times on a smaller machine. It showed 130-145 hugepages decreased in a millisecond.

2014-04-08mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlockingVlastimil Babka2-2/+14
A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design.

2014-04-08mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapdJohannes Weiner2-44/+46
On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes. This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068cba48 ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now, the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

2014-04-08mm/vmalloc.c: enhance vm_map_ram() commentGioh Kim1-0/+6
vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that addresss space. So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily. We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram(). Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests. So I thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily. On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation for searching hole. It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast mapping. And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit machine. Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life. If we inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can choose one according to the page lifetime. Let's add some notice messages to user.
