mm/mlock.c: change count_mm_mlocked_page_nr return type

2019-06-14T03:34:56+00:00

On a 64-bit machine the value of "vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start" may be
negative when using 32 bit ints and the "count >> PAGE_SHIFT"'s result
will be wrong.  So change the local variable and return value to
unsigned long to fix the problem.

mm/mlock.c: mlockall error for flag MCL_ONFAULT

2019-06-14T03:34:56+00:00

If mlockall() is called with only MCL_ONFAULT as flag, it removes any
previously applied lockings and does nothing else.

This behavior is counter-intuitive and doesn't match the Linux man page.

  For mlockall():

  EINVAL Unknown flags were specified or MCL_ONFAULT was specified
  without either MCL_FUTURE or MCL_CURRENT.

Consequently, return the error EINVAL, if only MCL_ONFAULT is passed.
That way, applications will at least detect that they are calling
mlockall() incorrectly.

mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directly

2019-03-06T05:07:21+00:00

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
	zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock

Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.  Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax

2018-08-17T23:20:27+00:00

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/

VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map.  The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations.  In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.

Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for
get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP.  This
also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags
in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a
file.

DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(),
and copy_page_range().

This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test.  It has also been
tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by
memmap and no additional issues have been observed.

mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs

2018-02-21T23:35:42+00:00

When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which
are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in
swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec
(lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page.
On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock
syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be
able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec
of a different CPU.  Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU
because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain.

The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats
will remain skewed for a long time.

This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on
the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking
their evictability.  This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other
CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file
pages will go to unevictable LRU.  Also this makes the race with munlock
easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock.

However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does
PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention.
TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock().

	#0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn	#1: clear_page_mlock

	SetPageLRU()			if (!TestClearPageMlocked())
					  return
	smp_mb() // <--required
					// inside does PageLRU
	if (!PageMlocked())		if (isolate_lru_page())
	  move to evictable LRU		  putback_lru_page()
	else
	  move to unevictable LRU

In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics
and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be
reordered before it.

In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be
reordered before SetPageLRU().  If that happens, '#0' can put a page in
unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that
page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set
PageLRU bit of that page.  That page will be stranded on the unevictable
LRU.

There is one (good) side effect though.  Without this patch, the pages
allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs
even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment.  This patch will correctly
put such pages to unevictable LRU.

mm: mlock: remove lru_add_drain_all()

2017-11-16T02:21:07+00:00

lru_add_drain_all() is not required by mlock() and it will drain
everything that has been cached at the time mlock is called.  And that
is not really related to the memory which will be faulted in (and
cached) and mlocked by the syscall itself.

If anything lru_add_drain_all() should be called _after_ pages have been
mlocked and faulted in but even that is not strictly needed because
those pages would get to the appropriate LRUs lazily during the reclaim
path.  Moreover follow_page_pte (gup) will drain the local pcp LRU
cache.

On larger machines the overhead of lru_add_drain_all() in mlock() can be
significant when mlocking data already in memory.  We have observed high
latency in mlock() due to lru_add_drain_all() when the users were
mlocking in memory tmpfs files.

mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecs

2017-11-16T02:21:06+00:00

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot.  As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
