2014-08-07mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlockingVlastimil Babka
commit 57e68e9cd65b4b8eb4045a1e0d0746458502554c upstream. 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.

2014-08-07mm, thp: do not allow thp faults to avoid cpuset restrictionsDavid Rientjes
commit b104a35d32025ca740539db2808aa3385d0f30eb upstream. The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems. Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a side-effect. This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

2014-07-31mm: kmemleak: avoid false negatives on vmalloc'ed objectsCatalin Marinas
commit 7f88f88f83ed609650a01b18572e605ea50cd163 upstream. Commit 248ac0e1943a ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to the next vmap_area.va_start. This was creating an artificial reference to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks. This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference to the vmalloc'ed object. The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the object (for simpler calling sites).

commit 0253d634e0803a8376a0d88efee0bf523d8673f9 upstream. Commit 4a705fef9862 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle migration/hwpoisoned entry") changed the order of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() and huge_ptep_get(), which leads to breakage in some workloads like hugepage-backed heap allocation via libhugetlbfs. This patch fixes it.

2014-07-28shmem: fix splicing from a hole while it's punchedHugh Dickins
commit b1a366500bd537b50c3aad26dc7df083ec03a448 upstream. shmem_fault() is the actual culprit in trinity's hole-punch starvation, and the most significant cause of such problems: since a page faulted is one that then appears page_mapped(), needing unmap_mapping_range() and i_mmap_mutex to be unmapped again. But it is not the only way in which a page can be brought into a hole in the radix_tree while that hole is being punched; and Vlastimil's testing implies that if enough other processors are busy filling in the hole, then shmem_undo_range() can be kept from completing indefinitely. shmem_file_splice_read() is the main other user of SGP_CACHE, which can instantiate shmem pagecache pages in the read-only case (without holding i_mutex, so perhaps concurrently with a hole-punch). Probably it's silly not to use SGP_READ already (using the ZERO_PAGE for holes): which ought to be safe, but might bring surprises - not a change to be rushed. shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() is an internal interface used by drivers/gpu/drm GEM (and next by uprobes): it should be okay. And shmem_file_read_iter() uses the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE, when called internally by the kernel (perhaps for a stacking filesystem, which might rely on holes to be reserved): it's unclear whether it could be provoked to keep hole-punch busy or not. We could apply the same umbrella as now used in shmem_fault() to shmem_file_splice_read() and the others; but it looks ugly, and use over a range raises questions - should it actually be per page? can these get starved themselves? The origin of this part of the problem is my v3.1 commit d0823576bf4b ("mm: pincer in truncate_inode_pages_range"), once it was duplicated into shmem.c. It seemed like a nice idea at the time, to ensure (barring RCU lookup fuzziness) that there's an instant when the entire hole is empty; but the indefinitely repeated scans to ensure that make it vulnerable. Revert that "enhancement" to hole-punch from shmem_undo_range(), but retain the unproblematic rescanning when it's truncating; add a couple of comments there. Remove the "indices[0] >= end" test: that is now handled satisfactorily by the inner loop, and mem_cgroup_uncharge_start()/end() are too light to be worth avoiding here. But if we do not always loop indefinitely, we do need to handle the case of swap swizzled back to page before shmem_free_swap() gets it: add a retry for that case, as suggested by Konstantin Khlebnikov; and for the case of page swizzled back to swap, as suggested by Johannes Weiner.

2014-07-28shmem: fix faulting into a hole, not taking i_mutexHugh Dickins
commit 8e205f779d1443a94b5ae81aa359cb535dd3021e upstream. Commit f00cdc6df7d7 ("shmem: fix faulting into a hole while it's punched") was buggy: Sasha sent a lockdep report to remind us that grabbing i_mutex in the fault path is a no-no (write syscall may already hold i_mutex while faulting user buffer). We tried a completely different approach (see following patch) but that proved inadequate: good enough for a rational workload, but not good enough against trinity - which forks off so many mappings of the object that contention on i_mmap_mutex while hole-puncher holds i_mutex builds into serious starvation when concurrent faults force the puncher to fall back to single-page unmap_mapping_range() searches of the i_mmap tree. So return to the original umbrella approach, but keep away from i_mutex this time. We really don't want to bloat every shmem inode with a new mutex or completion, just to protect this unlikely case from trinity. So extend the original with wait_queue_head on stack at the hole-punch end, and wait_queue item on the stack at the fault end. This involves further use of i_lock to guard against the races: lockdep has been happy so far, and I see fs/inode.c:unlock_new_inode() holds i_lock around wake_up_bit(), which is comparable to what we do here. i_lock is more convenient, but we could switch to shmem's info->lock. This issue has been tagged with CVE-2014-4171, which will require commit f00cdc6df7d7 and this and the following patch to be backported: we suggest to 3.1+, though in fact the trinity forkbomb effect might go back as far as 2.6.16, when madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE) came in - or might not, since much has changed, with i_mmap_mutex a spinlock before 3.0. Anyone running trinity on 3.0 and earlier? I don't think we need care.

2014-07-28shmem: fix faulting into a hole while it's punchedHugh Dickins
commit f00cdc6df7d7cfcabb5b740911e6788cb0802bdb upstream. Trinity finds that mmap access to a hole while it's punched from shmem can prevent the madvise(MADV_REMOVE) or fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) from completing, until the reader chooses to stop; with the puncher's hold on i_mutex locking out all other writers until it can complete. It appears that the tmpfs fault path is too light in comparison with its hole-punching path, lacking an i_data_sem to obstruct it; but we don't want to slow down the common case. Extend shmem_fallocate()'s existing range notification mechanism, so shmem_fault() can refrain from faulting pages into the hole while it's punched, waiting instead on i_mutex (when safe to sleep; or repeatedly faulting when not).

And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug. This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems rebinding on fork(): "When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes ->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the cgroup's tasklist."

MF_ACTION_REQUIRED commit 74614de17db6fb472370c426d4f934d8d616edf2 upstream. When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that they might never actually see. task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with "prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill. But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer. The error is in the execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS immediatley. Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

Currently we fail to do that if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process. collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test: if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) { will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active thread at this time). We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the process that collect_procs() said owned the page. If so, we send the SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).

2014-06-11mm: highmem: don't treat PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) as a highmem addressWill Deacon
commit 498c2280212327858e521e9d21345d4cc2637f54 upstream. kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address of an arbitrary mapping. This works by checking whether the address falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the linear mapping if appropriate. Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page. This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

2014-06-11mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak by race between poison and unpoisonNaoya Horiguchi
commit 3e030ecc0fc7de10fd0da10c1c19939872a31717 upstream. When a memory error happens on an in-use page or (free and in-use) hugepage, the victim page is isolated with its refcount set to one. When you try to unpoison it later, unpoison_memory() calls put_page() for it twice in order to bring the page back to free page pool (buddy or free hugepage list). However, if another memory error occurs on the page which we are unpoisoning, memory_failure() returns without releasing the refcount which was incremented in the same call at first, which results in memory leak and unconsistent num_poisoned_pages statistics. This patch fixes it.

2014-06-07mm: make fixup_user_fault() check the vma access rights tooLinus Torvalds
commit 1b17844b29ae042576bea588164f2f1e9590a8bc upstream. 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.

2014-05-06mm: hugetlb: fix softlockup when a large number of hugepages are freed.Mizuma, Masayoshi
commit 55f67141a8927b2be3e51840da37b8a2320143ed upstream. 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. Amount of decreasing Required time Decreasing rate hugepages (msec) (pages/msec) ------------------------------------------------------------ 10,000 pages == 20GB 70 - 74 135-142 30,000 pages == 60GB 208 - 229 131-144 It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the default threshold 20sec, in this decreasing rate.

commit 08dff7b7d629807dbb1f398c68dd9cd58dd657a1 upstream. When online_pages() is called to add new memory to an empty zone, it rebuilds all zone lists by calling build_all_zonelists(). But there's a bug which prevents the new zone to be added to other nodes' zone lists. online_pages() { build_all_zonelists() ..... node_set_state(zone_to_nid(zone), N_HIGH_MEMORY) } Here the node of the zone is put into N_HIGH_MEMORY state after calling build_all_zonelists(), but build_all_zonelists() only adds zones from nodes in N_HIGH_MEMORY state to the fallback zone lists. build_all_zonelists() ->__build_all_zonelists() ->build_zonelists() ->find_next_best_node() ->for_each_node_state(n, N_HIGH_MEMORY) So memory in the new zone will never be used by other nodes, and it may cause strange behavor when system is under memory pressure. So put node into N_HIGH_MEMORY state before calling build_all_zonelists().

2014-03-11mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancingJohannes Weiner
commit 60cefed485a02bd99b6299dad70666fe49245da7 upstream. Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the compaction requirement. Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then use it uniformly to check for balanced zones. This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

2014-02-20mm: setup pageblock_order before it's used by sparsememXishi Qiu
commit ca57df79d4f64e1a4886606af4289d40636189c5 upstream. On architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE set, such as Itanium, pageblock_order is a variable with default value of 0. It's set to the right value by set_pageblock_order() in function free_area_init_core(). But pageblock_order may be used by sparse_init() before free_area_init_core() is called along path: sparse_init() ->sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() ->usemap_size() ->SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS ->((1UL << (PFN_SECTION_SHIFT - pageblock_order)) * NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS) The uninitialized pageblock_size will cause memory wasting because usemap_size() returns a much bigger value then it's really needed. For example, on an Itanium platform, sparse_init() pageblock_order=0 usemap_size=24576 free_area_init_core() before pageblock_order=0, usemap_size=24576 free_area_init_core() after pageblock_order=12, usemap_size=8 That means 24K memory has been wasted for each section, so fix it by calling set_pageblock_order() from sparse_init().

The bug was introduced by commit 49e2258586b423684f03c278149ab46d8f8b6700 ("slub: per cpu cache for partial pages"). We should use page->pages instead of page->pobjects when calculating the number of cpu partial slabs. This also fixes the mapping of slabs and nodes. As there's no variable storing the number of total/active objects in cpu partial slabs, and we don't have user interfaces requiring those statistics, I just add WARN_ON for those cases.

commit 27c73ae759774e63313c1fbfeb17ba076cea64c5 upstream. Commit 7cb2ef56e6a8 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the tail_page->private field. Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in both cases. The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to avoid memory corruption. A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is relevant for the compound_lock path too). By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound pages, this also fixes the below problem: echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:59a01 page:ffffea000139b038 count:0 mapcount:10 mapping: (null) index:0x0 page flags: 0x1c00000000008000(tail) Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 2018 Comm: bash Not tainted 3.12.0+ #25 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x55/0x76 bad_page+0xd5/0x130 free_pages_prepare+0x213/0x280 __free_pages+0x36/0x80 update_and_free_page+0xc1/0xd0 free_pool_huge_page+0xc2/0xe0 set_max_huge_pages.part.58+0x14c/0x220 nr_hugepages_store_common.isra.60+0xd0/0xf0 nr_hugepages_store+0x13/0x20 kobj_attr_store+0xf/0x20 sysfs_write_file+0x189/0x1e0 vfs_write+0xc5/0x1f0 SyS_write+0x55/0xb0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Tested-by: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz@oracle.com> Cc: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <jweiner@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Guillaume Morin <guillaume@morinfr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-11-13mm: fix aio performance regression for database caused by THPKhalid Aziz
commit 7cb2ef56e6a8b7b368b2e883a0a47d02fed66911 upstream. I am working with a tool that simulates oracle database I/O workload. This tool (orion to be specific - <http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/iodesign.htm#autoId24>) allocates hugetlbfs pages using shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB flag. It then does aio into these pages from flash disks using various common block sizes used by database. I am looking at performance with two of the most common block sizes - 1M and 64K. aio performance with these two block sizes plunged after Transparent HugePages was introduced in the kernel. Here are performance numbers: pre-THP 2.6.39 3.11-rc5 1M read 8384 MB/s 5629 MB/s 6501 MB/s 64K read 7867 MB/s 4576 MB/s 4251 MB/s I have narrowed the performance impact down to the overheads introduced by THP in __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() routines. perf top shows >40% of cycles being spent in these two routines. Every time direct I/O to hugetlbfs pages starts, kernel calls get_page() to grab a reference to the pages and calls put_page() when I/O completes to put the reference away. THP introduced significant amount of locking overhead to get_page() and put_page() when dealing with compound pages because hugepages can be split underneath get_page() and put_page(). It added this overhead irrespective of whether it is dealing with hugetlbfs pages or transparent hugepages. This resulted in 20%-45% drop in aio performance when using hugetlbfs pages. Since hugetlbfs pages can not be split, there is no reason to go through all the locking overhead for these pages from what I can see. I added code to __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() to bypass all the locking code when working with hugetlbfs pages. This improved performance significantly. Performance numbers with this patch: pre-THP 3.11-rc5 3.11-rc5 + Patch 1M read 8384 MB/s 6501 MB/s 8371 MB/s 64K read 7867 MB/s 4251 MB/s 6510 MB/s Performance with 64K read is still lower than what it was before THP, but still a 53% improvement. It does mean there is more work to be done but I will take a 53% improvement for now. Please take a look at the following patch and let me know if it looks reasonable.

2013-10-22mm: do not grow the stack vma just because of an overrun on preceding vmaLinus Torvalds
commit 09884964335e85e897876d17783c2ad33cf8a2e0 upstream. The stack vma is designed to grow automatically (marked with VM_GROWSUP or VM_GROWSDOWN depending on architecture) when an access is made beyond the existing boundary. However, particularly if you have not limited your stack at all ("ulimit -s unlimited"), this can cause the stack to grow even if the access was really just one past *another* segment. And that's wrong, especially since we first grow the segment, but then immediately later enforce the stack guard page on the last page of the segment. So _despite_ first growing the stack segment as a result of the access, the kernel will then make the access cause a SIGSEGV anyway! So do the same logic as the guard page check does, and consider an access to within one page of the next segment to be a bad access, rather than growing the stack to abut the next segment.

2013-10-22mm/mmap: check for RLIMIT_AS before unmappingCyril Hrubis
commit e8420a8ece80b3fe810415ecf061d54ca7fab266 upstream. Fix a corner case for MAP_FIXED when requested mapping length is larger than rlimit for virtual memory. In such case any overlapping mappings are unmapped before we check for the limit and return ENOMEM. The check is moved before the loop that unmaps overlapping parts of existing mappings. When we are about to hit the limit (currently mapped pages + len > limit) we scan for overlapping pages and check again accounting for them. This fixes situation when userspace program expects that the previous mappings are preserved after the mmap() syscall has returned with error. (POSIX clearly states that successfull mapping shall replace any previous mappings.) This corner case was found and can be tested with LTP testcase: testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mmap/24-2.c In this case the mmap, which is clearly over current limit, unmaps dynamic libraries and the testcase segfaults right after returning into userspace. I've also looked at the second instance of the unmapping loop in the do_brk(). The do_brk() is called from brk() syscall and from vm_brk(). The brk() syscall checks for overlapping mappings and bails out when there are any (so it can't be triggered from the brk syscall). The vm_brk() is called only from binmft handlers so it shouldn't be triggered unless binmft handler created overlapping mappings.

2013-10-13mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contextsDavid Rientjes
commit 4b59e6c4730978679b414a8da61514a2518da512 upstream. On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.

2013-10-05mm, memcg: give exiting processes access to memory reservesDavid Rientjes
commit 465adcf1ea7b2e49b2e0899366624f5532b64012 A memcg may livelock when oom if the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first process with PF_EXITING set in the memcg's task iteration. The oom killer, both global and memcg, will defer if it finds an eligible process that is in the process of exiting and it is not being ptraced. The idea is to allow it to exit without using memory reserves before needlessly killing another process. This normally works fine except in the memcg case with a large number of threads attached to the oom memcg. In this case, the memcg oom killer only gets called for the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock; all others end up blocked on the memcg's oom waitqueue. Thus, if the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first PF_EXITING process in the memcg's task iteration, the oom killer is constantly deferred without anything making progress. The fix is to give PF_EXITING processes access to memory reserves so that we've marked them as oom killed without any iteration. This allows __mem_cgroup_try_charge() to succeed so that the process may exit. This makes the memcg oom killer exemption for TIF_MEMDIE tasks, now immediately granted for processes with pending SIGKILLs and those in the exit path, to be equivalent to what is done for the global oom killer.

2013-09-26memcg: fix multiple large threshold notificationsGreg Thelen
commit 2bff24a3707093c435ab3241c47dcdb5f16e432b upstream. A memory cgroup with (1) multiple threshold notifications and (2) at least one threshold >=2G was not reliable. Specifically the notifications would either not fire or would not fire in the proper order. The __mem_cgroup_threshold() signaling logic depends on keeping 64 bit thresholds in sorted order. mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sorts them with compare_thresholds(), which returns the difference of two 64 bit thresholds as an int. If the difference is positive but has bit[31] set, then sort() treats the difference as negative and breaks sort order. This fix compares the two arbitrary 64 bit thresholds returning the classic -1, 0, 1 result. The test below sets two notifications (at 0x1000 and 0x81001000): cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory mkdir x for x in 4096 2164264960; do cgroup_event_listener x/memory.usage_in_bytes $x | sed "s/^/$x listener:/" & done echo $$ > x/cgroup.procs anon_leaker 500M v3.11-rc7 fails to signal the 4096 event listener: Leaking... Done leaking pages. Patched v3.11-rc7 properly notifies: Leaking... 4096 listener:2013:8:31:14:13:36 Done leaking pages. The fixed bug is old.

2013-08-20futex: Take hugepages into account when generating futex_keyZhang Yi
commit 13d60f4b6ab5b702dc8d2ee20999f98a93728aec upstream. The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex. Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses page->index. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0 and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs mapping. The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as their keys solely depend on the user space address. 2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2 3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1. 4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2. 5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2 still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1. To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping. Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still use page->index. Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific details to the futex code.

2013-06-20mm: migration: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()Naoya Horiguchi
commit 30dad30922ccc733cfdbfe232090cf674dc374dc upstream. When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally experience long delay or soft lockup. This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

discard I/O completion commit cbab0e4eec299e9059199ebe6daf48730be46d2b upstream. read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought into the swapcache yet. This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary, thus avoiding the subtle race window.

2013-06-07mm/pagewalk.c: walk_page_range should avoid VM_PFNMAP areasCliff Wickman
commit a9ff785e4437c83d2179161e012f5bdfbd6381f0 upstream. A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program. /proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas. Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd()) assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures. There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore VM_PFNMAP areas. The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we want to test any vma in the range. VM_PFNMAP areas are used by: - graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c - global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c - sgi special memory char/mspec.c - and probably several out-of-tree modules [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unused hugetlb_vma() stub] Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

2013-06-07mm: mmu_notifier: re-fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMUXiao Guangrong
commit d34883d4e35c0a994e91dd847a82b4c9e0c31d83 upstream. Commit 751efd8610d3 ("mmu_notifier_unregister NULL Pointer deref and multiple ->release()") breaks the fix 3ad3d901bbcf ("mm: mmu_notifier: fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMU"). Since hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() is changed now, we can not revert that patch directly, so this patch reverts the commit and simply fix the bug spotted by that patch This bug spotted by commit 751efd8610d3 is: There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and __mmu_notifier_release(). Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result of a filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B). A B t1 srcu_read_lock() t2 if (!hlist_unhashed()) t3 srcu_read_unlock() t4 srcu_read_lock() t5 hlist_del_init_rcu() t6 synchronize_srcu() t7 srcu_read_unlock() t8 hlist_del_rcu() <--- NULL pointer deref. This can be fixed by using hlist_del_init_rcu instead of hlist_del_rcu. The another issue spotted in the commit is "multiple ->release() callouts", we needn't care it too much because it is really rare (e.g, can not happen on kvm since mmu-notify is unregistered after exit_mmap()) and the later call of multiple ->release should be fast since all the pages have already been released by the first call. Anyway, this issue should be fixed in a separate patch. -stable suggestions: Any version that has commit 751efd8610d3 need to be backported. I find the oldest version has this commit is 3.0-stable.

2013-06-07mm compaction: fix of improper cache flush in migration codeLeonid Yegoshin
commit c2cc499c5bcf9040a738f49e8051b42078205748 upstream. Page 'new' during MIGRATION can't be flushed with flush_cache_page(). Using flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn) is justified only if the page is already placed in process page table, and that is done right after flush_cache_page(). But without it the arch function has no knowledge of process PTE and does nothing. Besides that, flush_cache_page() flushes an application cache page, but the kernel has a different page virtual address and dirtied it. Replace it with flush_dcache_page(new) which is the proper usage. The old page is flushed in try_to_unmap_one() before migration. This bug takes place in Sead3 board with M14Kc MIPS CPU without cache aliasing (but Harvard arch - separate I and D cache) in tight memory environment (128MB) each 1-3days on SOAK test. It fails in cc1 during kernel build (SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGSEG) if CONFIG_COMPACTION is switched ON.
