mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults

2016-05-19T01:35:09+00:00

commit 6d0a07edd17cfc12fdc1f36de8072fa17cc3666f upstream.

This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

: The "corruption" occurs when the packet crosse two pages that are not physically

: It looks like the user VA at the point of the compare error no longer points to

: This patch totally resolves the issue!

mm/huge_memory: replace VM_NO_THP VM_BUG_ON with actual VMA check

2016-05-04T21:49:10+00:00

commit 3486b85a29c1741db99d0c522211c82d2b7a56d0 upstream.

Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way
it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special
mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap.

This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where
they are not expected.

thp: call pmdp_invalidate() with correct virtual address

2016-02-24T18:46:30+00:00

Sebastian Ott and Gerald Schaefer reported random crashes on s390.
It was bisected to my THP refcounting patchset.

The problem is that pmdp_invalidated() called with wrong virtual
address. It got offset up by HPAGE_PMD_SIZE by loop over ptes.

The solution is to introduce new variable to be used in loop and don't
touch 'haddr'.

thp, dax: do not try to withdraw pgtable from non-anon VMA

2016-02-19T00:23:24+00:00

DAX doesn't deposit pgtables when it maps huge pages: nothing to
withdraw. It can lead to crash.

powerpc/mm: Fix Multi hit ERAT cause by recent THP update

2016-02-15T10:10:04+00:00

With ppc64 we use the deposited pgtable_t to store the hash pte slot
information. We should not withdraw the deposited pgtable_t without
marking the pmd none. This ensure that low level hash fault handling
will skip this huge pte and we will handle them at upper levels.

Recent change to pmd splitting changed the above in order to handle the
race between pmd split and exit_mmap. The race is explained below.

Consider following race:

		CPU0				CPU1
shrink_page_list()
  add_to_swap()
    split_huge_page_to_list()
      __split_huge_pmd_locked()
        pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify()
	// pmd_none() == true
					exit_mmap()
					  unmap_vmas()
					    zap_pmd_range()
					      // no action on pmd since pmd_none() == true
	pmd_populate()

As result the THP will not be freed. The leak is detected by check_mm():

	BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880058d2e580 idx:1 val:512

The above required us to not mark pmd none during a pmd split.

The fix for ppc is to clear the huge pte of _PAGE_USER, so that low
level fault handling code skip this pte. At higher level we do take ptl
lock. That should serialze us against the pmd split. Once the lock is
acquired we do check the pmd again using pmd_same. That should always
return false for us and hence we should retry the access. We do the
pmd_same check in all case after taking plt with
THP (do_huge_pmd_wp_page, do_huge_pmd_numa_page and
huge_pmd_set_accessed)

Also make sure we wait for irq disable section in other cpus to finish
before flipping a huge pte entry with a regular pmd entry. Code paths
like find_linux_pte_or_hugepte depend on irq disable to get
a stable pte_t pointer. A parallel thp split need to make sure we
don't convert a pmd pte to a regular pmd entry without waiting for the
irq disable section to finish.

mm: fix memory leak in copy_huge_pmd()

2016-02-03T16:28:43+00:00

We allocate a pgtable but do not attach it to anything if the PMD is in
a DAX VMA, causing it to leak.

We certainly try to not free pgtables associated with the huge zero page
if the zero page is in a DAX VMA, so I think this is the right solution.
This needs to be properly audited.

thp: limit number of object to scan on deferred_split_scan()

2016-02-03T16:28:43+00:00

If we have a lot of pages in queue to be split, deferred_split_scan()
can spend unreasonable amount of time under spinlock with disabled
interrupts.

Let's cap number of pages to split on scan by sc->nr_to_scan.

thp: change deferred_split_count() to return number of THP in queue

2016-02-03T16:28:43+00:00

I've got meaning of shrinker::count_objects() wrong: it should return
number of potentially freeable objects, which is not necessary correlate
with freeable memory.

Returning 256 per THP in queue is not reasonable:
shrinker::scan_objects() never called with nr_to_scan > 128 in my setup.

Let's return 1 per THP and correct scan_object accordingly.
