2014-07-31mm: hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range()Naoya Horiguchi
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. The test program for the problem is shown below: $ cat heap.c #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #define HPS 0x200000 int main() { int i; char *p = malloc(HPS); memset(p, '1', HPS); for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { if (!fork()) { memset(p, '2', HPS); p = malloc(HPS); memset(p, '3', HPS); free(p); return 0; } } sleep(1); free(p); return 0; } $ export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes ; export HUGETLB_NO_PREFAULT= ; hugectl --heap ./heap Fixes 4a705fef9862 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle migration/hwpoisoned entry"), so is applicable to -stable kernels which include it.

2014-07-31slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab namesMikulas Patocka
commit 694617474e33b8603fc76e090ed7d09376514b1a upstream. The patch 3e374919b314f20e2a04f641ebc1093d758f66a4 is supposed to fix the problem where kmem_cache_create incorrectly reports duplicate cache name and fails. The problem is described in the header of that patch. However, the patch doesn't really fix the problem because of these reasons: * the logic to test for debugging is reversed. It was intended to perform the check only if slub debugging is enabled (which implies that caches with the same parameters are not merged). Therefore, there should be #if !defined(CONFIG_SLUB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON) The current code has the condition reversed and performs the test if debugging is disabled. * slub debugging may be enabled or disabled based on kernel command line, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is just the default settings. Therefore the test based on definition of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is unreliable. This patch fixes the problem by removing the test "!defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)". Therefore, duplicate names are never checked if the SLUB allocator is used. Note to stable kernel maintainers: when backporint this patch, please backport also the patch 3e374919b314f20e2a04f641ebc1093d758f66a4.

2014-07-28Don't trigger congestion wait on dirty-but-not-writeout pagesLinus Torvalds
commit b738d764652dc5aab1c8939f637112981fce9e0e upstream. shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not under active writeback. That makes no real sense, and apparently causes major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11. The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well. Also, the logic behind delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback. We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if (a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate reclaim (b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is actually congested. This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported regression.

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).

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."

2014-07-17parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack sizeHelge Deller
commit 042d27acb64924a0e8a43e972485913a32407beb upstream. This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards (currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable via a config option. The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used as heap then. This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

2014-07-09slab: fix oops when reading /proc/slab_allocatorsJoonsoo Kim
commit 03787301420376ae41fbaf4267f4a6253d152ac5 upstream. Commit b1cb0982bdd6 ("change the management method of free objects of the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector ('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following decription. 1. traverse all objects on all the slabs. 2. determine whether it is active or not. 3. if active, print who allocate this object. but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one. This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point, page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs. Following is oops message reported from Dave. It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators (Just cat it, and you should see the oops below) Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: [snip...] CPU: 1 PID: 9386 Comm: trinity-c33 Not tainted 3.14.0-rc5+ #131 task: ffff8801aa46e890 ti: ffff880076924000 task.ti: ffff880076924000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] [<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 RSP: 0018:ffff880076925de0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 000000005ce85ce7 RDX: ffffea00079be100 RSI: 0000000000001000 RDI: ffff880107458000 RBP: ffff880076925e18 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000000f R12: ffff8801e6f84000 R13: ffffea00079be100 R14: ffff880107458000 R15: ffff88022bb8d2c0 FS: 00007fb769e45740(0000) GS:ffff88024d040000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff8801e6f84ff8 CR3: 00000000a22db000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 DR0: 0000000002695000 DR1: 0000000002695000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000070602 Call Trace: leaks_show+0xce/0x240 seq_read+0x28e/0x490 proc_reg_read+0x3d/0x80 vfs_read+0x9b/0x160 SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 tracesys+0xd4/0xd9 Code: f5 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 63 c8 44 3b 0c 8a 0f 84 e3 00 00 00 83 c0 01 44 39 c0 72 eb 41 f6 47 1a 01 0f 84 e9 00 00 00 89 f0 <4d> 8b 4c 04 f8 4d 85 c9 0f 84 88 00 00 00 49 8b 7e 08 4d 8d 46 RIP handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.

With a kernel configured with ARM64_64K_PAGES && !TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, the following is triggered at early boot: SMP: Total of 8 processors activated. devtmpfs: initialized Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 pgd = fffffe0000050000 [00000008] *pgd=00000043fba00003, *pmd=00000043fba00003, *pte=00e0000078010407 Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.15.0-rc864k+ #44 task: fffffe03bc040000 ti: fffffe03bc080000 task.ti: fffffe03bc080000 PC is at __list_add+0x10/0xd4 LR is at free_one_page+0x270/0x638 ...

This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[]. Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger than a MAX_ORDER page. In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the “pageblock_order > MAX_ORDER” condition will be optimised out since both sides of the operator are constants. In cases where pageblock size is variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.

If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

commit 4a705fef986231a3e7a6b1a6d3c37025f021f49f upstream. There's a race between fork() and hugepage migration, as a result we try to "dereference" a swap entry as a normal pte, causing kernel panic. The cause of the problem is that copy_hugetlb_page_range() can't handle "swap entry" family (migration entry and hwpoisoned entry) so let's fix it.

2014-06-30ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered modeNamjae Jeon
commit 1c8349a17137b93f0a83f276c764a6df1b9a116e upstream. When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages. Later we check for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit. This process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration. journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed. This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in collapse_range. (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests) To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

2014-06-30mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle ↵Naoya Horiguchi
SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) commit 3ba08129e38437561df44c36b7ea9081185d5333 upstream. Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the deferred manner by default. And if a recovery aware application wants to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag. However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to handler such signals. So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler. We have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main thread. If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl() to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread. Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines. No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases. Tony said: : The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might : well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then : that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if : that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

2014-06-30mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for ↵Tony Luck
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.

commit a70ffcac741d31a406c1d2b832ae43d658e7e1cf upstream. When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread. 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).

2014-06-30mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmapsMel Gorman
commit e58469bafd0524e848c3733bc3918d854595e20f upstream. The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no other changes made in parallel. In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%. In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are possible between: a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype() reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them. b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype(). Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to {start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages() and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the free_list array. That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare, and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks. Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is used more, or when new migratetypes are added. After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

2014-06-30mm: vmscan: do not throttle based on pfmemalloc reserves if node has no ↵Mel Gorman
ZONE_NORMAL commit 675becce15f320337499bc1a9356260409a5ba29 upstream. throttle_direct_reclaim() is meant to trigger during swap-over-network during which the min watermark is treated as a pfmemalloc reserve. It throttes on the first node in the zonelist but this is flawed. The user-visible impact is that a process running on CPU whose local memory node has no ZONE_NORMAL will stall for prolonged periods of time, possibly indefintely. This is due to throttle_direct_reclaim thinking the pfmemalloc reserves are depleted when in fact they don't exist on that node. On a NUMA machine running a 32-bit kernel (I know) allocation requests from CPUs on node 1 would detect no pfmemalloc reserves and the process gets throttled. This patch adjusts throttling of direct reclaim to throttle based on the first node in the zonelist that has a usable ZONE_NORMAL or lower zone.

2014-06-30hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64Naoya Horiguchi
commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream. Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other archs get interested in enabling this feature. Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage migration is supported in vma_migratable().

commit d4c54919ed86302094c0ca7d48a8cbd4ee753e92 upstream. The age table walker doesn't check non-present hugetlb entry in common path, so hugetlb_entry() callbacks must check it. The reason for this behavior is that some callers want to handle it in its own way. [ I think that reason is bogus, btw - it should just do what the regular code does, which is to call the "pte_hole()" function for such hugetlb entries - Linus] However, some callers don't check it now, which causes unpredictable result, for example when we have a race between migrating hugepage and reading /proc/pid/numa_maps. This patch fixes it by adding !pte_present checks on buggy callbacks. This bug exists for years and got visible by introducing hugepage migration.

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.

2014-06-07revert "mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low"Johannes Weiner
commit 623762517e2370be3b3f95f4fe08d6c063a49b06 upstream. This reverts commit 0bf1457f0cfc ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and trap every allocating task in direct reclaim. The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at. The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim. This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure is obviously worse than the disease. Revert it.

2014-06-07mm/compaction: make isolate_freepages start at pageblock boundaryVlastimil Babka
commit 49e068f0b73dd042c186ffa9b420a9943e90389a upstream. The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages() starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn. In a for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first pfn for the next for loop iteration. This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages. Currently this can happen when a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary. This also permits replacing the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple pageblock_nr_pages increment.

2014-06-07mm, thp: close race between mremap() and split_huge_page()Kirill A. Shutemov
commit dd18dbc2d42af75fffa60c77e0f02220bc329829 upstream. It's critical for split_huge_page() (and migration) to catch and freeze all PMDs on rmap walk. It gets tricky if there's concurrent fork() or mremap() since usually we copy/move page table entries on dup_mm() or move_page_tables() without rmap lock taken. To get it work we rely on rmap walk order to not miss any entry. We expect to see destination VMA after source one to work correctly. But after switching rmap implementation to interval tree it's not always possible to preserve expected walk order. It works fine for dup_mm() since new VMA has the same vma_start_pgoff() / vma_last_pgoff() and explicitly insert dst VMA after src one with vma_interval_tree_insert_after(). But on move_vma() destination VMA can be merged into adjacent one and as result shifted left in interval tree. Fortunately, we can detect the situation and prevent race with rmap walk by moving page table entries under rmap lock. See commit 38a76013ad80. Problem is that we miss the lock when we move transhuge PMD. Most likely this bug caused the crash[1].

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.

2014-05-31thp: close race between split and zap huge pagesKirill A. Shutemov
commit b5a8cad376eebbd8598642697e92a27983aee802 upstream. Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2]. I believe both of them have the same root cause. Let's look to them one by one. The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!". It's BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page(). From my testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here. I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and page_check_address_pmd(). page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is under zap: CPU0 CPU1 zap_huge_pmd() pmdp_get_and_clear() __split_huge_page() anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() __split_huge_page_splitting() page_check_address_pmd() mm_find_pmd() /* * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD, * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page(). */ pmd_present(pmd) == 0 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!! page_remove_rmap(page) atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount) The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!". It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd(). This happens in similar way: CPU0 CPU1 zap_huge_pmd() pmdp_get_and_clear() page_remove_rmap(page) atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount) __split_huge_page() anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() __split_huge_page_splitting() page_check_address_pmd() mm_find_pmd() pmd_present(pmd) == 0 /* The same comment as above */ /* * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in * zap_huge_pmd(). */ BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) /* * We split the compound page here into small pages without * serialization against zap_huge_pmd() */ __split_huge_page_refcount() VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!! So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd() without taking page table lock. The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac42. Sorry for that. :( Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the check under page table lock. Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires if sync != 0. I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore first).

2014-05-06mm: 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.

2014-05-06mm: 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.

2014-05-06mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapdJohannes Weiner
commit 3a025760fc158b3726eac89ee95d7f29599e9dfa upstream. On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes. This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068cba48 ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now, the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

After commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() -> set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL. This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from balance_dirty_pages() or other places. Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

2014-04-26backing_dev: fix hung task on syncDerek Basehore
commit 6ca738d60c563d5c6cf6253ee4b8e76fa77b2b9e upstream. bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to schedule work to writeback dirty inodes. The problem with this is that it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the work from sync_inodes_sb(). This can happen since mod_delayed_work() can now steal work from a work_queue. This fixes the problem by using queue_delayed_work() instead. This is a regression caused by commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue"). The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default. In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung task. Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long. We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to schedule writeback sometime in future. This function doesn't change the timer if it is already armed. For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not empty. The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the rescue worker.

The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree (good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages() range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range). remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race. The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this; but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

2014-03-19mm: fix bad rss-counter if remap_file_pages raced migrationHugh Dickins
Fix some "Bad rss-counter state" reports on exit, arising from the interaction between page migration and remap_file_pages(): zap_pte() must count a migration entry when zapping it. And yes, it is possible (though very unusual) to find an anon page or swap entry in a VM_SHARED nonlinear mapping: coming from that horrid get_user_pages(write, force) case which COWs even in a shared mapping.

2014-03-10mm/compaction: break out of loop on !PageBuddy in isolate_freepages_blockLaura Abbott
We received several reports of bad page state when freeing CMA pages previously allocated with alloc_contig_range: BUG: Bad page state in process Binder_A pfn:63202 page:d21130b0 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x7dfbf page flags: 0x40080068(uptodate|lru|active|swapbacked) Based on the page state, it looks like the page was still in use. The page flags do not make sense for the use case though. Further debugging showed that despite alloc_contig_range returning success, at least one page in the range still remained in the buddy allocator. There is an issue with isolate_freepages_block. In strict mode (which CMA uses), if any pages in the range cannot be isolated, isolate_freepages_block should return failure 0. The current check keeps track of the total number of isolated pages and compares against the size of the range: if (strict && nr_strict_required > total_isolated) total_isolated = 0; After taking the zone lock, if one of the pages in the range is not in the buddy allocator, we continue through the loop and do not increment total_isolated. If in the last iteration of the loop we isolate more than one page (e.g. last page needed is a higher order page), the check for total_isolated may pass and we fail to detect that a page was skipped. The fix is to bail out if the loop immediately if we are in strict mode. There's no benfit to continuing anyway since we need all pages to be isolated. Additionally, drop the error checking based on nr_strict_required and just check the pfn ranges. This matches with what isolate_freepages_range does.

2014-03-10mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarifyJohannes Weiner
GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

2014-03-04mm: page_alloc: exempt GFP_THISNODE allocations from zone fairnessJohannes Weiner
Jan Stancek reports manual page migration encountering allocation failures after some pages when there is still plenty of memory free, and bisected the problem down to commit 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other hand. After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and the allocations fail. Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all. The latter seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

This can be reproduced with default config since 3.11 kernels. A reproducer can be found in the kernel's selftest directory for networking by running ./psock_tpacket. The problem is that an order=2 compound page (allocated by alloc_one_pg_vec_page() is part of the munlocked VM_MIXEDMAP vma (mapped by packet_mmap()) and mistaken for a THP page and assumed to be order=9. The checks for THP in munlock came with commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages"), i.e. since 3.9, but did not trigger a bug. It just makes munlock_vma_pages_range() skip such compound pages until the next 512-pages-aligned page, when it encounters a head page. This is however not a problem for vma's where mlocking has no effect anyway, but it can distort the accounting. Since commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") this can trigger a VM_BUG_ON in PageTransHuge() check. This patch fixes the issue by adding VM_MIXEDMAP flag to VM_SPECIAL, a list of flags that make vma's non-mlockable and non-mergeable. The reasoning is that VM_MIXEDMAP vma's are similar to VM_PFNMAP, which is already on the VM_SPECIAL list, and both are intended for non-LRU pages where mlocking makes no sense anyway.

2014-03-04memcg: reparent charges of children before processing parentFilipe Brandenburger
Sometimes the cleanup after memcg hierarchy testing gets stuck in mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(), unable to bring non-kmem usage down to 0. There may turn out to be several causes, but a major cause is this: the workitem to offline parent can get run before workitem to offline child; parent's mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() circles around waiting for the child's pages to be reparented to its lrus, but it's holding cgroup_mutex which prevents the child from reaching its mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(). Further testing showed that an ordered workqueue for cgroup_destroy_wq is not always good enough: percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm's call_rcu_sched stage on the way can mess up the order before reaching the workqueue. Instead, when offlining a memcg, call mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() on all its children (and grandchildren, in the correct order) to have their charges reparented first.

2014-03-04memcg: fix endless loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next()Hugh Dickins
Commit 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter") got the interaction with the commit a few before it d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") slightly wrong, and we didn't notice at the time. It's elusive, and harder to get than the original, but for a couple of days before rc1, I several times saw a endless loop similar to that supposedly being fixed. This time it was a tighter loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next(): because we can get here when our root has already been offlined, and the ordering of conditions was such that we then just cycled around forever.
