2013-08-20vm: add no-mmu vm_iomap_memory() stubLinus Torvalds
commit 3c0b9de6d37a481673e81001c57ca0e410c72346 upstream. I think we could just move the full vm_iomap_memory() function into util.h or similar, but I didn't get any reply from anybody actually using nommu even to this trivial patch, so I'm not going to touch it any more than required. Here's the fairly minimal stub to make the nommu case at least potentially work. It doesn't seem like anybody cares, though.

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.

2013-06-20swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to deadlock while waiting on ↵Rafael Aquini
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: 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.

2013-04-25vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper functionLinus Torvalds
commit b4cbb197c7e7a68dbad0d491242e3ca67420c13e upstream. Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

2013-04-25hugetlbfs: add swap entry check in follow_hugetlb_page()Naoya Horiguchi
commit 9cc3a5bd40067b9a0fbd49199d0780463fc2140f upstream. With applying the previous patch "hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)" to reenable hugepage coredump, if a memory error happens on a hugepage and the affected processes try to access the error hugepage, we hit VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) <= 0) in get_page(). The reason for this bug is that coredump-related code doesn't recognise "hugepage hwpoison entry" with which a pmd entry is replaced when a memory error occurs on a hugepage. In other words, physical address information is stored in different bit layout between hugepage hwpoison entry and pmd entry, so follow_hugetlb_page() which is called in get_dump_page() returns a wrong page from a given address. The expected behavior is like this: absent is_swap_pte FOLL_DUMP Expected behavior ------------------------------------------------------------------- true false false hugetlb_fault false true false hugetlb_fault false false false return page true false true skip page (to avoid allocation) false true true hugetlb_fault false false true return page With this patch, we can call hugetlb_fault() and take proper actions (we wait for migration entries, fail with VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE for hwpoisoned entries,) and as the result we can dump all hugepages except for hwpoisoned ones.

accouting commit d00285884c0892bb1310df96bce6056e9ce9b9d9 upstream. hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the current implementation considers only the default hugetlb page size (which is either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter). If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size, which is possible since commit a137e1cc6d6e ("hugetlbfs: per mount huge page sizes") then the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory() (resp. shown by meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an impression of more available/allowed memory. This can lead to an unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT resp. SIGSEGV when memory is accounted.

2013-02-28mm/fadvise.c: drain all pagevecs if POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED fails to discard all ↵Mel Gorman
pages commit 67d46b296a1ba1477c0df8ff3bc5e0167a0b0732 upstream. Rob van der Heij reported the following (paraphrased) on private mail. The scenario is that I want to avoid backups to fill up the page cache and purge stuff that is more likely to be used again (this is with s390x Linux on z/VM, so I don't give it as much memory that we don't care anymore). So I have something with LD_PRELOAD that intercepts the close() call (from tar, in this case) and issues a posix_fadvise() just before closing the file. This mostly works, except for small files (less than 14 pages) that remains in page cache after the face. Unfortunately Rob has not had a chance to test this exact patch but the test program below should be reproducing the problem he described. The issue is the per-cpu pagevecs for LRU additions. If the pages are added by one CPU but fadvise() is called on another then the pages remain resident as the invalidate_mapping_pages() only drains the local pagevecs via its call to pagevec_release(). The user-visible effect is that a program that uses fadvise() properly is not obeyed. A possible fix for this is to put the necessary smarts into invalidate_mapping_pages() to globally drain the LRU pagevecs if a pagevec page could not be discarded. The downside with this is that an inode cache shrink would send a global IPI and memory pressure potentially causing global IPI storms is very undesirable. Instead, this patch adds a check during fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to check if invalidate_mapping_pages() discarded all the requested pages. If a subset of pages are discarded it drains the LRU pagevecs and tries again. If the second attempt fails, it assumes it is due to the pages being mapped, locked or dirty and does not care. With this patch, an application using fadvise() correctly will be obeyed but there is a downside that a malicious application can force the kernel to send global IPIs and increase overhead. If accepted, I would like this to be considered as a -stable candidate. It's not an urgent issue but it's a system call that is not working as advertised which is weak. The following test program demonstrates the problem. It should never report that pages are still resident but will without this patch. It assumes that CPU 0 and 1 exist. int main() { int fd; int pagesize = getpagesize(); ssize_t written = 0, expected; char *buf; unsigned char *vec; int resident, i; cpu_set_t set; /* Prepare a buffer for writing */ expected = FILESIZE_PAGES * pagesize; buf = malloc(expected + 1); if (buf == NULL) { printf("ENOMEM\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } buf[expected] = 0; memset(buf, 'a', expected); /* Prepare the mincore vec */ vec = malloc(FILESIZE_PAGES); if (vec == NULL) { printf("ENOMEM\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* Bind ourselves to CPU 0 */ CPU_ZERO(&set); CPU_SET(0, &set); if (sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1) { perror("sched_setaffinity"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* open file, unlink and write buffer */ fd = open("fadvise-test-file", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR); if (fd == -1) { perror("open"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } unlink("fadvise-test-file"); while (written < expected) { ssize_t this_write; this_write = write(fd, buf + written, expected - written); if (this_write == -1) { perror("write"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } written += this_write; } free(buf); /* * Force ourselves to another CPU.

commit 5f00110f7273f9ff04ac69a5f85bb535a4fd0987 upstream. The tmpfs remount logic preserves filesystem mempolicy if the mpol=M option is not specified in the remount request. A new policy can be specified if mpol=M is given. Before this patch remounting an mpol bound tmpfs without specifying mpol= mount option in the remount request would set the filesystem's mempolicy object to a freed mempolicy object. To reproduce the problem boot a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC kernel and run: # mkdir /tmp/x # mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M,mpol=interleave nodev /tmp/x # grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=102400k,mpol=interleave:0-3 0 0 # mount -o remount,size=200M nodev /tmp/x # grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=204800k,mpol=??? 0 0 # note ? garbage in mpol=... output above # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/x/f count=1 # panic here Panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [< (null)>] (null) [...] Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Call Trace: mpol_shared_policy_init+0xa5/0x160 shmem_get_inode+0x209/0x270 shmem_mknod+0x3e/0xf0 shmem_create+0x18/0x20 vfs_create+0xb5/0x130 do_last+0x9a1/0xea0 path_openat+0xb3/0x4d0 do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0 do_sys_open+0xfe/0x1e0 compat_sys_open+0x1b/0x20 cstar_dispatch+0x7/0x1f Non-debug kernels will not crash immediately because referencing the dangling mpol will not cause a fault. Instead the filesystem will reference a freed mempolicy object, which will cause unpredictable behavior. The problem boils down to a dropped mpol reference below if shmem_parse_options() does not allocate a new mpol: config = *sbinfo shmem_parse_options(data, &config, true) mpol_put(sbinfo->mpol) sbinfo->mpol = config.mpol /* BUG: saves unreferenced mpol */ This patch avoids the crash by not releasing the mempolicy if shmem_parse_options() doesn't create a new mpol. How far back does this issue go? I see it in both 2.6.36 and 3.3. I did not look back further.

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).

Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not protected by the by the mmu_notifier_mm->hlist_lock which can result in callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister() and __mmu_notifier_release(). -stable suggestions: The stable trees prior to 3.7.y need commits 21a92735f660 and 70400303ce0c cherry-picked in that order prior to cherry-picking this commit.

schedule commit 21a92735f660eaecf69a6f2e777f18463760ec32 upstream. With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule() as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier structure while it is currently being used. Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm. So all mms share a global srcu. Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current mmu_notifier clients.

2013-02-28mm: fix pageblock bitmap allocationLinus Torvalds
commit 7c45512df987c5619db041b5c9b80d281e26d3db upstream. Commit c060f943d092 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943d092 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment.

2013-01-17thp, memcg: split hugepage for memcg oom on cowDavid Rientjes
commit 1f1d06c34f7675026326cd9f39ff91e4555cf355 upstream. On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill. Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

2013-01-17mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculationLaura Abbott
commit c060f943d0929f3e429c5d9522290584f6281d6e upstream. The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct. Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB: pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97 0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97 0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98 0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98 This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation. For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen. Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from visual glitches to application failures.

2013-01-11mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPTMichal Hocko
commit 53a59fc67f97374758e63a9c785891ec62324c81 upstream. Since commit e303297e6c3a ("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done. This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup. The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on softlockup which is not that unusual. The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum number of batches in a single mmu_gather. 10k of collected pages should be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point. This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls cond_resched per PMD. The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details). BUG: soft lockup - CPU#56 stuck for 22s!

2013-01-11tmpfs mempolicy: fix /proc/mounts corrupting memoryHugh Dickins
commit f2a07f40dbc603c15f8b06e6ec7f768af67b424f upstream. Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af351c "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested.

2012-12-17tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leakMel Gorman
commit 18a2f371f5edf41810f6469cb9be39931ef9deb9 upstream. This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a5e, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

commit 387870f2d6d679746020fa8e25ef786ff338dc98 upstream. dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag, regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly, on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or later trigger the following error: "ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small! Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!". Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always served from the special, very limited memory pool. This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided by the dmapool caller.

2012-11-05mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390Jan Kara
commit ef5d437f71afdf4afdbab99213add99f4b1318fd upstream. On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page, page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty(). Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from xfs_count_page_state(). Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then page unmapped. Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is dirty. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned up variant of the patch. The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines where the original problem was triggered.

2012-10-13mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()Mel Gorman
commit 00442ad04a5eac08a98255697c510e708f6082e2 upstream. Commit cc9a6c877661 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3") introduced a potential memory corruption. shmem_alloc_page() uses a pseudo vma and it has one significant unique combination, vma->vm_ops=NULL and vma->policy->flags & MPOL_F_SHARED. get_vma_policy() does NOT increase a policy ref when vma->vm_ops=NULL and mpol_cond_put() DOES decrease a policy ref when a policy has MPOL_F_SHARED. Therefore, when a cpuset update race occurs, alloc_pages_vma() falls in 'goto retry_cpuset' path, decrements the reference count and frees the policy prematurely.

2012-10-13mempolicy: fix a race in shared_policy_replace()Mel Gorman
commit b22d127a39ddd10d93deee3d96e643657ad53a49 upstream. shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

In the following case mbind(addr, len) should replace the memory policies of both vma1 and vma2 and thus they will become to share the same mempolicy and the new mempolicy will have the MPOL_F_SHARED flag. +-------------------+-------------------+ | vma1 | vma2(shmem) | +-------------------+-------------------+ | | addr addr+len alloc_pages_vma() uses get_vma_policy() and mpol_cond_put() pair for maintaining the mempolicy reference count. The current rule is that get_vma_policy() only increments refcount for shmem VMA and mpol_conf_put() only decrements refcount if the policy has MPOL_F_SHARED. In above case, vma1 is not shmem vma and vma->policy has MPOL_F_SHARED! The reference count will be decreased even though was not increased whenever alloc_page_vma() is called. This has been broken since commit [52cd3b07: mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting] in 2008. There is another serious bug with the sharing of memory policies. Currently, mempolicy rebind logic (it is called from cpuset rebinding) ignores a refcount of mempolicy and override it forcibly. Thus, any mempolicy sharing may cause mempolicy corruption. The bug was introduced by commit [68860ec1: cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy rebinding]. Ideally, the shared policy handling would be rewritten to either properly handle COW of the policy structures or at least reference count MPOL_F_SHARED based exclusively on information within the policy. However, this patch takes the easier approach of disabling any policy sharing between VMAs. Each new range allocated with sp_alloc will allocate a new policy, set the reference count to 1 and drop the reference count of the old policy. This increases the memory footprint but is not expected to be a major problem as mbind() is unlikely to be used for fine-grained ranges. It is also inefficient because it means we allocate a new policy even in cases where mbind_range() could use the new_policy passed to it. However, it is more straight-forward and the change should be invisible to the user.

commit ec4d9f626d5908b6052c2973f37992f1db52e967 upstream. In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock: invalidate_inode_pages2 invalidate_complete_page2 spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock) clear_page_mlock isolate_lru_page spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock) isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally: invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock. Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree. I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again) under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

To reproduce it I was doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM. $ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall $ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits. Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a hard reset or a sysrq-b. The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases, it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important. Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following situation Process A Process B --------- --------- hugetlb_fault shmdt LockWrite(mmap_sem) do_munmap unmap_region unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma unmap_hugepage_range Lock(i_mmap_mutex) Lock(mm->page_table_lock) huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1) Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) huge_pte_alloc ... Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ... vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ... Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ... share spte ... Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ... Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ... hugetlb_no_page <--- (2) free_pgtables unlink_file_vma hugetlb_free_pgd_range remove_vma_list In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above, the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips up on it in free_pgtables. This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function __unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and does not support madvise(DONTNEED). This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged. Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug. ==== CUT HERE ==== static size_t huge_page_size = (2UL << 20); static size_t nr_huge_page_A = 512; static size_t nr_huge_page_B = 5632; unsigned int get_random(unsigned int max) { struct timeval tv; gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); srandom(tv.tv_usec); return random() % max; } static void play(void *addr, size_t size) { unsigned char *start = addr, *end = start + size, *a; start += get_random(size/2); /* we could itterate on huge pages but let's give it more time. */ for (a = start; a < end; a += 4096) *a = 0; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_t key = IPC_PRIVATE; size_t sizeA = nr_huge_page_A * huge_page_size; size_t sizeB = nr_huge_page_B * huge_page_size; int shmidA, shmidB; void *addrA = NULL, *addrB = NULL; int nr_children = 300, n = 0; if ((shmidA = shmget(key, sizeA, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrA = shmat(shmidA, addrA, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } if ((shmidB = shmget(key, sizeB, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrB = shmat(shmidB, addrB, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } fork_child: switch(fork()) { case 0: switch (n%3) { case 0: play(addrA, sizeA); break; case 1: play(addrB, sizeB); break; case 2: break; } break; case -1: perror("fork:"); break; default: if (++n < nr_children) goto fork_child; play(addrA, sizeA); break; } shmdt(addrA); shmdt(addrB); do { wait(NULL); } while (--n > 0); shmctl(shmidA, IPC_RMID, NULL); shmctl(shmidB, IPC_RMID, NULL); return 0; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: name the declaration's args, fix CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=n build] Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-08-15mm: mmu_notifier: fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMUXiao Guangrong
commit 3ad3d901bbcfb15a5e4690e55350db0899095a68 upstream. mmu_notifier_release() is called when the process is exiting. It will delete all the mmu notifiers. But at this time the page belonging to the process is still present in page tables and is present on the LRU list, so this race will happen: CPU 0 CPU 1 mmu_notifier_release: try_to_unmap: hlist_del_init_rcu(&mn->hlist); ptep_clear_flush_notify: mmu nofifler not found free page !!!!!! /* * At the point, the page has been * freed, but it is still mapped in * the secondary MMU. */ mn->ops->release(mn, mm); Then the box is not stable and sometimes we can get this bug: [ 738.075923] BUG: Bad page state in process migrate-perf pfn:03bec [ 738.075931] page:ffffea00000efb00 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x8076 [ 738.075936] page flags: 0x20000000000014(referenced|dirty) The same issue is present in mmu_notifier_unregister().

2012-08-01vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handlingKonstantin Khlebnikov
commit 635697c663f38106063d5659f0cf2e45afcd4bb5 upstream. Stable note: The commit [acf92b48: vmscan: shrinker->nr updates race and go wrong] aimed to reduce excessive reclaim of slab objects but had bug in how it treated shrinker functions that returned -1. 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.

2012-08-01cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3Mel Gorman
commit cc9a6c8776615f9c194ccf0b63a0aa5628235545 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. [get|put]_mems_allowed() is extremely expensive and severely impacted page allocator performance. This is part of a series of patches that reduce page allocator overhead. Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

2012-08-01mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg LRU listsJohannes Weiner
commit b95a2f2d486d0d768a92879c023a03757b9c7e58 upstream - WARNING: this is a substitute patch. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. This is a partial backport of an upstream commit addressing a completely different issue that accidentally contained an important fix. The workload this patch helps was memcached when IO is started in the background. memcached should stay resident but without this patch it gets swapped. Sometimes this manifests as a drop in throughput but mostly it was observed through /proc/vmstat. Commit [246e87a9: memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets] was meant to fix a problem whereby small scan targets on memcg were ignored causing priority to raise too sharply. It forced scanning to take place if the target was small, memcg or kswapd. From the time it was introduced it caused excessive reclaim by kswapd with workloads being pushed to swap that previously would have stayed resident. This was accidentally fixed in commit [b95a2f2d: mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg LRU lists] by making it harder for kswapd to force scan small targets but that patchset is not suitable for backporting. This was later changed again by commit [90126375: mm/vmscan: push lruvec pointer into get_scan_count()] into a format that looks like it would be a straight-forward backport but there is a subtle difference due to the use of lruvecs. The impact of the accidental fix is to make it harder for kswapd to force scan small targets by taking zone->all_unreclaimable into account. This patch is the closest equivalent available based on what is backported. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This is being addressed over time. Even though the subject refers to lumpy reclaim, it impacts compaction as well.

Logic added in commit 8cab4754d24a0 ("vmscan: make mapped executable pages the first class citizen") was noticeably weakened in commit 645747462435d84 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once"). Currently these pages can become "first class citizens" only after second usage. After this patch page_check_references() will activate they after first usage, and executable code gets yet better chance to stay in memory.
