mm: thp: refix false positive BUG in page_move_anon_rmap()

2016-07-15T05:54:27+00:00

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's
worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again.  It's still wrong for some THP
cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to
addresses before the start of a vma.

That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index();
and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive.  But
why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in
page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for
the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index).

Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment.

And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or
outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest
level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I
think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.

mm: rmap: call page_check_address() with sync enabled to avoid racy check

2016-07-15T05:54:27+00:00

The previous patch addresses the race between split_huge_pmd_address()
and someone changing the pmd.  The fix is only for splitting of normal
thp (i.e.  pmd-mapped thp,) and for splitting of pte-mapped thp there
still is the similar race.

For splitting pte-mapped thp, the pte's conversion is done by
try_to_unmap_one(TTU_MIGRATION).  This function checks
page_check_address() to get the target pte, but it can return NULL under
some race, leading to VM_BUG_ON() in freeze_page().  Fortunately,
page_check_address() already has an argument to decide whether we do a
quick/racy check or not, so let's flip it when called from
freeze_page().

mm: thp: avoid false positive VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap()

2016-05-27T21:49:37+00:00

If page_move_anon_rmap() is refiling a pmd-splitted THP mapped in a tail
page from a pte, the "address" must be THP aligned in order for the
page->index bugcheck to pass in the CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y builds.

mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked

2016-05-20T02:12:14+00:00

v3.16 commit 07a427884348 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).

That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.

Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.

Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.

There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

mm/rmap: replace BUG_ON(anon_vma->degree) with VM_WARN_ON

2016-05-20T02:12:14+00:00

This check effectively catches anon vma hierarchy inconsistence and some
vma corruptions.  It was effective for catching corner cases in anon vma
reusing logic.  For now this code seems stable so check could be hidden
under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and replaced with WARN because it's not so fatal.

Merge branch 'PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-removal'

2016-04-04T17:50:24+00:00

Merge PAGE_CACHE_SIZE removal patches from Kirill Shutemov:
 "PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
  ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
  cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

  This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

  Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
  not.

  The first patch with most changes has been done with coccinelle.  The
  second is manual fixups on top.

  The third patch removes macros definition"

[ I was planning to apply this just before rc2, but then I spaced out,
  so here it is right _after_ rc2 instead.

  As Kirill suggested as a possibility, I could have decided to only
  merge the first two patches, and leave the old interfaces for
  compatibility, but I'd rather get it all done and any out-of-tree
  modules and patches can trivially do the converstion while still also
  working with older kernels, so there is little reason to try to
  maintain the redundant legacy model.    - Linus ]

* PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-removal:
  mm: drop PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} definition
  mm, fs: remove remaining PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} usage
  mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 -  << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 -  >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

mm/rmap: batched invalidations should use existing api

2016-04-01T22:03:37+00:00

The recently introduced batched invalidations mechanism uses its own
mechanism for shootdown.  However, it does wrong accounting of
interrupts (e.g., inc_irq_stat is called for local invalidations),
trace-points (e.g., TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN for local invalidations) and
may break some platforms as it bypasses the invalidation mechanisms of
Xen and SGI UV.

This patch reuses the existing TLB flushing mechnaisms instead.  We use
NULL as mm to indicate a global invalidation is required.

thp: rewrite freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() with generic rmap walkers

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() helpers evolved in rather complex
beasts.  It would be nice to cut complexity of this code.

This patch rewrites freeze_page() using standard try_to_unmap().
unfreeze_page() is rewritten with remove_migration_ptes().

The result is much simpler.

But the new variant is somewhat slower for PTE-mapped THPs.  Current
helpers iterates over VMAs the compound page is mapped to, and then over
ptes within this VMA.  New helpers iterates over small page, then over
VMA the small page mapped to, and only then find relevant pte.

We have short cut for PMD-mapped THP: we directly install migration
entries on PMD split.

I don't think the slowdown is critical, considering how much simpler
result is and that split_huge_page() is quite rare nowadays.  It only
happens due memory pressure or migration.

rmap: extend try_to_unmap() to be usable by split_huge_page()

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

Add support for two ttu_flags:

  - TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD would split PMD if it's there, before trying to
    unmap page;

  - TTU_RMAP_LOCKED indicates that caller holds relevant rmap lock;

Also, change rwc->done to !page_mapcount() instead of !page_mapped().
try_to_unmap() works on pte level, so we are really interested in the
mappedness of this small page rather than of the compound page it's a
part of.
