2012-03-01mm, rt: kmap_atomic schedulingPeter Zijlstra
In fact, with migrate_disable() existing one could play games with kmap_atomic. You could save/restore the kmap_atomic slots on context switch (if there are any in use of course), this should be esp easy now that we have a kmap_atomic stack. Something like the below.. it wants replacing all the preempt_disable() stuff with pagefault_disable() && migrate_disable() of course, but then you can flip kmaps around like below.

2012-03-01slab: Fix __do_drain to use the right array cacheSteven Rostedt
The array cache in __do_drain() was using the cpu_cache_get() function which uses smp_processor_id() to get the proper array. On mainline, this is fine as __do_drain() is called by for_each_cpu() which runs __do_drain() on the CPU it is processing. In RT locks are used instead and __do_drain() is only called from a single CPU. This can cause the accounting to be off and trigger the following bug: slab error in kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `nfs_write_data': Can't free all objects Pid: 2905, comm: rmmod Not tainted 3.0.6-test-rt17+ #78 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810fb623>] kmem_cache_destroy+0xa0/0xdf [<ffffffffa03aaffb>] nfs_destroy_writepagecache+0x49/0x4e [nfs] [<ffffffffa03c0fe0>] exit_nfs_fs+0xe/0x46 [nfs] [<ffffffff8107af09>] sys_delete_module+0x1ba/0x22c [<ffffffff8109429d>] ? audit_syscall_entry+0x11c/0x148 [<ffffffff814b6442>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This can be easily triggered by a simple while loop: # while :; do modprobe nfs; rmmod nfs; done The proper function to use is cpu_cache_get_on_cpu(). It works for both RT and non-RT as the non-RT passes in smp_processor_id() into __do_drain(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Luis Claudio R.

2012-03-01mm: raw_pagefault_disablePeter Zijlstra
Adding migrate_disable() to pagefault_disable() to preserve the per-cpu thing for kmap_atomic might not have been the best of choices. But short of adding preempt_disable/migrate_disable foo all over the kmap code it still seems the best way. It does however yield the below borkage as well as wreck !-rt builds since !-rt does rely on pagefault_disable() not preempting.

2012-02-13mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migrationMel Gorman
commit dc9086004b3d5db75997a645b3fe08d9138b7ad0 upstream. When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone. Migration avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned. Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap. When this happens, migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the following oops BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff810f795c>] free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 PGD 1dda554067 PUD 1e1cb58067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 37 Pid: 17088, comm: memcg_process_s Tainted: G X RIP: free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 Process memcg_process_s (pid: 17088, threadinfo ffff881c2926e000, task ffff881c2926c0c0) Call Trace: free_hot_cold_page+0x17e/0x1f0 __pagevec_free+0x90/0xb0 release_pages+0x22a/0x260 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xf3/0x110 putback_lru_page+0x66/0xe0 unmap_and_move+0x156/0x180 migrate_pages+0x9e/0x1b0 compact_zone+0x1f3/0x2f0 compact_zone_order+0xa2/0xe0 try_to_compact_pages+0xdf/0x110 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0xee/0x1c0 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x370/0x830 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1b1/0x1c0 alloc_pages_vma+0x9b/0x160 do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0x160/0x270 do_page_fault+0x207/0x4c0 page_fault+0x25/0x30 The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but is unrelated to the bug triggering. The real problem was because the PFN layout looks like this Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0x00000010 -> 0x00001000 DMA32 0x00001000 -> 0x00100000 Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x01e80000 Movable zone start PFN for each node early_node_map[14] active PFN ranges 0: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009b 0: 0x00000100 -> 0x0007a1ec 0: 0x0007a354 -> 0x0007a379 0: 0x0007f7ff -> 0x0007f800 0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00680000 1: 0x00680000 -> 0x00e80000 0: 0x00e80000 -> 0x01080000 1: 0x01080000 -> 0x01280000 0: 0x01280000 -> 0x01480000 1: 0x01480000 -> 0x01680000 0: 0x01680000 -> 0x01880000 1: 0x01880000 -> 0x01a80000 0: 0x01a80000 -> 0x01c80000 1: 0x01c80000 -> 0x01e80000 The fix is straight-forward. isolate_migratepages() has to make a similar check to isolate_freepage to ensure that it never isolates pages from a zone it does not hold the LRU lock for.

2012-02-13mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block ↵Mel Gorman
during isolation for migration commit 0bf380bc70ecba68cb4d74dc656cc2fa8c4d801a upstream. When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash.

The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

2012-02-13mm/filemap_xip.c: fix race condition in xip_file_fault()Carsten Otte
commit 99f02ef1f18631eb0a4e0ea0a3d56878dbcb4b90 upstream. Fix a race condition that shows in conjunction with xip_file_fault() when two threads of the same user process fault on the same memory page. In this case, the race winner will install the page table entry and the unlucky loser will cause an oops: xip_file_fault calls vm_insert_pfn (via vm_insert_mixed) which drops out at this check: retval = -EBUSY; if (!pte_none(*pte)) goto out_unlock; The resulting -EBUSY return value will trigger a BUG_ON() in xip_file_fault. This fix simply considers the fault as fixed in this case, because the race winner has successfully installed the pte.

2012-02-13readahead: fix pipeline break caused by block plugShaohua Li
commit 3deaa7190a8da38453c4fabd9dec7f66d17fff67 upstream. Herbert Poetzl reported a performance regression since 2.6.39. The test is a simple dd read, but with big block size. The reason is: T1: ra (A, A+128k), (A+128k, A+256k) T2: lock_page for page A, submit the 256k T3: hit page A+128K, ra (A+256k, A+384). the range isn't submitted because of plug and there isn't any lock_page till we hit page A+256k because all pages from A to A+256k is in memory T4: hit page A+256k, ra (A+384, A+ 512). Because of plug, the range isn't submitted again. T5: lock_page A+256k, so (A+256k, A+512k) will be submitted. The task is waitting for (A+256k, A+512k) finish. There is no request to disk in T3 and T4, so readahead pipeline breaks. We really don't need block plug for generic_file_aio_read() for buffered I/O. The readahead already has plug and has fine grained control when I/O should be submitted. Deleting plug for buffered I/O fixes the regression. One side effect is plug makes the request size 256k, the size is 128k without it. This is because default ra size is 128k and not a reason we need plug here. Vivek said: : We submit some readahead IO to device request queue but because of nested : plug, queue never gets unplugged. When read logic reaches a page which is : not in page cache, it waits for page to be read from the disk : (lock_page_killable()) and that time we flush the plug list. : : So effectively read ahead logic is kind of broken in parts because of : nested plugging. Removing top level plug (generic_file_aio_read()) for : buffered reads, will allow unplugging queue earlier for readahead.

2012-01-25SHM_UNLOCK: fix Unevictable pages stranded after swapHugh Dickins
commit 245132643e1cfcd145bbc86a716c1818371fcb93 upstream. Commit cc39c6a9bbde ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries. The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(), called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(). The first is already commented, and not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking. Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the swap) instead of pagevec_lookup(). But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor shmem.c with LRU locking. So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock. Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU. Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

2012-01-25SHM_UNLOCK: fix long unpreemptible sectionHugh Dickins
commit 85046579bde15e532983438f86b36856e358f417 upstream. scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked. It does this with pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here. A cond_resched() every PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good. However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks. There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it. So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling. Remove the recently added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan. Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock(). Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable. The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED. The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let inode eviction deal with them. Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used), more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.

commit 687875fb7de4a95223af20ee024282fa9099f860 upstream. Fix the following NULL ptr dereference caused by cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/removable Pid: 13979, comm: sed Not tainted 3.0.13-0.5-default #1 IBM BladeCenter LS21 -[7971PAM]-/Server Blade RIP: __count_immobile_pages+0x4/0x100 Process sed (pid: 13979, threadinfo ffff880221c36000, task ffff88022e788480) Call Trace: is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x34/0x40 is_mem_section_removable+0x74/0xf0 show_mem_removable+0x41/0x70 sysfs_read_file+0xfe/0x1c0 vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 sys_read+0x53/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b We are crashing because we are trying to dereference NULL zone which came from pfn=0 (struct page ffffea0000000000). According to the boot log this page is marked reserved: e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved) and early_node_map confirms that: early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges 1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c 1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3 1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000 The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well. This also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved pages and they stay uninitialized. When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section. But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized. We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1 (rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will return 0 and there are no zones on the node. Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its boundaries and mark the section not removable. This might cause some false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for whatever other reasons.

2012-01-25memcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issueKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
commit ab936cbcd02072a34b60d268f94440fd5cf1970b upstream. Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a function replace_page_cache_page(). This function replaces a page in the radix-tree with a new page. WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix up the accounting information. memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc. In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling replace_page_cache(). So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be fixed, too. This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks. In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page). WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid races with LRU handling. Background: replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling. Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak. If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail. This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet. I guess there are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream kernels. The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of account leak. So, no panic, no deadlock. And, even if an active cgroup exist, umount can succseed. So no problem at shutdown.

2011-12-20oom: fix integer overflow of points in oom_badnessFrantisek Hrbata
An integer overflow will happen on 64bit archs if task's sum of rss, swapents and nr_ptes exceeds (2^31)/1000 value. This was introduced by commit f755a04 oom: use pte pages in OOM score where the oom score computation was divided into several steps and it's no longer computed as one expression in unsigned long(rss, swapents, nr_pte are unsigned long), where the result value assigned to points(int) is in range(1..1000). So there could be an int overflow while computing 176 points *= 1000; and points may have negative value. Meaning the oom score for a mem hog task will be one. 196 if (points <= 0) 197 return 1; For example: [ 3366] 0 3366 35390480 24303939 5 0 0 oom01 Out of memory: Kill process 3366 (oom01) score 1 or sacrifice child Here the oom1 process consumes more than 24303939(rss)*4096~=92GB physical memory, but it's oom score is one. In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one. The points variable should be of type long instead of int to prevent the int overflow.

The trouble is that the crash_notes per-cpu variable is not page-aligned: crash_notes = 0xc08e8ed4 PER-CPU OFFSET VALUES: CPU 0: 3711f000 CPU 1: 37129000 CPU 2: 37133000 CPU 3: 3713d000 So, the per-cpu addresses are: crash_notes on CPU 0: f7a07ed4 => phys 36b57ed4 crash_notes on CPU 1: f7a11ed4 => phys 36b4ded4 crash_notes on CPU 2: f7a1bed4 => phys 36b43ed4 crash_notes on CPU 3: f7a25ed4 => phys 36b39ed4 However, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/crash_notes says: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/crash_notes: 36b57000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/crash_notes: 36b4d000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/crash_notes: 36b43000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/crash_notes: 36b39000 As you can see, all values are rounded down to a page boundary. Consequently, this is where kexec sets up the NOTE segments, and thus where the secondary kernel is looking for them. However, when the first kernel crashes, it saves the notes to the unaligned addresses, where they are not found. Fix it by adding offset_in_page() to the translated page address. -tj: Combined Eugene's and Petr's commit messages.

2011-12-09mm: vmalloc: check for page allocation failure before vmlist insertionMel Gorman
Commit f5252e00 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after it is fully initialised. Unfortunately, it did not check that __vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area. In the event of allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in get_vmalloc_info(). This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within __vmalloc_node_range. It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node() before it called vfree in its failure path. Credit goes to Luciano Chavez for doing all the real work of identifying exactly where the problem was.

2011-12-09thp: set compound tail page _count to zeroYouquan Song
Commit 70b50f94f1644 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all page_tail->_count zero at all times. But the current kernel does not set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized. So when an IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a tail page's _count does not equal zero. kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:386! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Call Trace: gup_pud_range+0xb8/0x19d get_user_pages_fast+0xcb/0x192 ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0xf hva_to_pfn+0x119/0x2f2 gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x2c/0x2e kvm_iommu_map_pages+0xfd/0x1c1 kvm_iommu_map_memslots+0x7c/0xbd kvm_iommu_map_guest+0xaa/0xbf kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device+0x2ef/0xa47 kvm_vm_ioctl+0x36c/0x3a2 do_vfs_ioctl+0x49e/0x4e4 sys_ioctl+0x5a/0x7c system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b RIP gup_huge_pud+0xf2/0x159 Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-12-09thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latencyAndrea Arcangeli
khugepaged can sometimes cause suspend to fail, requiring that the user retry the suspend operation. Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() instead of schedule_timeout_interruptible() to avoid missing freezer wakeups. A try_to_freeze() would have been needed in the khugepaged_alloc_hugepage tight loop too in case of the allocation failing repeatedly, and wait_event_freezable_timeout will provide it too. khugepaged would still freeze just fine by trying again the next minute but it's better if it freezes immediately.

2011-12-09vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handlingKonstantin Khlebnikov
A shrinker function can return -1, means that it cannot do anything without a risk of deadlock. For example prune_super() does this if it cannot grab a superblock refrence, even if nr_to_scan=0. Currently we interpret this -1 as a ULONG_MAX size shrinker and evaluate `total_scan' according to this. So the next time around this shrinker can cause really big pressure. Let's skip such shrinkers instead. Also make total_scan signed, otherwise the check (total_scan < 0) below never works.
