mm: replace vma_lock_anon_vma with anon_vma_lock_read/write

2016-02-15T20:42:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 12352d3cae2cebe18805a91fab34b534d7444231 ]

Sequence vma_lock_anon_vma() - vma_unlock_anon_vma() isn't safe if
anon_vma appeared between lock and unlock.  We have to check anon_vma
first or call anon_vma_prepare() to be sure that it's here.  There are
only few users of these legacy helpers.  Let's get rid of them.

This patch fixes anon_vma lock imbalance in validate_mm().  Write lock
isn't required here, read lock is enough.

And reorders expand_downwards/expand_upwards: security_mmap_addr() and
wrapping-around check don't have to be under anon vma lock.

memcg: only free spare array when readers are done

2016-02-10T03:57:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6611d8d76132f86faa501de9451a89bf23fb2371 ]

A spare array holding mem cgroup threshold events is kept around to make
sure we can always safely deregister an event and have an array to store
the new set of events in.

In the scenario where we're going from 1 to 0 registered events, the
pointer to the primary array containing 1 event is copied to the spare
slot, and then the spare slot is freed because no events are left.
However, it is freed before calling synchronize_rcu(), which means
readers may still be accessing threshold->primary after it is freed.

Fixed by only freeing after synchronize_rcu().

mm: soft-offline: check return value in second __get_any_page() call

The root cause resides in get_any_page() which retries to get a refcount
of the page to be soft-offlined.  This function calls
put_hwpoison_page(), expecting that the target page is putback to LRU
list.  But it can be also freed to buddy.  So the second check need to
care about such case.

virtio_balloon: fix race between migration and ballooning

[ Upstream commit 21ea9fb69e7c4b1b1559c3e410943d3ff248ffcb ]

In balloon_page_dequeue, pages_lock should cover the loop
(ie, list_for_each_entry_safe). Otherwise, the cursor page could
be isolated by compaction and then list_del by isolation could
poison the page->lru.{prev,next} so the loop finally could
access wrong address like this. This patch fixes the bug.

mm: make sendfile(2) killable

2015-11-15T17:51:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 296291cdd1629c308114504b850dc343eabc2782 ]

Currently a simple program below issues a sendfile(2) system call which
takes about 62 days to complete in my test KVM instance.

        int fd;
        off_t off = 0;

        fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC | O_CREAT, 0644);
        ftruncate(fd, 2);
        lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
        sendfile(fd, fd, &off, 0xfffffff);

Now you should not ask kernel to do a stupid stuff like copying 256MB in
2-byte chunks and call fsync(2) after each chunk but if you do, sysadmin
should have a way to stop you.

We actually do have a check for fatal_signal_pending() in
generic_perform_write() which triggers in this path however because we
always succeed in writing something before the check is done, we return
value > 0 from generic_perform_write() and thus the information about
signal gets lost.

Fix the problem by doing the signal check before writing anything.  That
way generic_perform_write() returns -EINTR, the error gets propagated up
and the sendfile loop terminates early.

mm/slab: fix unexpected index mapping result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE+1)

2015-10-28T02:14:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 03a2d2a3eafe4015412cf4e9675ca0e2d9204074 ]

Commit description is copied from the original post of this bug:

  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/135349

Kernels after v3.9 use kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) to get the next
larger cache size than the size index INDEX_NODE mapping.  In kernels
3.9 and earlier we used malloc_sizes[INDEX_L3 + 1].cs_size.

However, sometimes we can't get the right output we expected via
kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1), causing a BUG().

The mapping table in the latest kernel is like:
    index = {0,   1,  2 ,  3,  4,   5,   6,   n}
     size = {0,   96, 192, 8, 16,  32,  64,   2^n}
The mapping table before 3.10 is like this:
    index = {0 , 1 , 2,   3,  4 ,  5 ,  6,   n}
    size  = {32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 2^(n+3)}

The problem on my mips64 machine is as follows:

(1) When configured DEBUG_SLAB && DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
    && DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node) will be "150",
    and the macro INDEX_NODE turns out to be "2": #define INDEX_NODE
    kmalloc_index(sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node))

(2) Then the result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) is 8.

(3) Then "if(size >= kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1)" will lead to "size
    = PAGE_SIZE".

(4) Then "if ((size >= (PAGE_SIZE >> 3))" test will be satisfied and
    "flags |= CFLGS_OFF_SLAB" will be covered.

(5) if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB)" test will be satisfied and will go to
    "cachep->slabp_cache = kmalloc_slab(slab_size, 0u)", and the result
    here may be NULL while kernel bootup.

(6) Finally,"BUG_ON(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cachep->slabp_cache));" causes the
    BUG info as the following shows (may be only mips64 has this problem):

This patch fixes the problem of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) and removes
the BUG by adding 'size >= 256' check to guarantee that all necessary
small sized slabs are initialized regardless sequence of slab size in
mapping table.

mm: hugetlbfs: skip shared VMAs when unmapping private pages to satisfy a fault

2015-10-28T02:13:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2f84a8990ebbe235c59716896e017c6b2ca1200f ]

SunDong reported the following on

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103841

	I think I find a linux bug, I have the test cases is constructed. I
	can stable recurring problems in fedora22(4.0.4) kernel version,
	arch for x86_64.  I construct transparent huge page, when the parent
	and child process with MAP_SHARE, MAP_PRIVATE way to access the same
	huge page area, it has the opportunity to lead to huge page copy on
	write failure, and then it will munmap the child corresponding mmap
	area, but then the child mmap area with VM_MAYSHARE attributes, child
	process munmap this area can trigger VM_BUG_ON in set_vma_resv_flags
	functions (vma - > vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE).

There were a number of problems with the report (e.g.  it's hugetlbfs that
triggers this, not transparent huge pages) but it was fundamentally
correct in that a VM_BUG_ON in set_vma_resv_flags() can be triggered that
looks like this

	 vma ffff8804651fd0d0 start 00007fc474e00000 end 00007fc475e00000
	 next ffff8804651fd018 prev ffff8804651fd188 mm ffff88046b1b1800
	 prot 8000000000000027 anon_vma           (null) vm_ops ffffffff8182a7a0
	 pgoff 0 file ffff88106bdb9800 private_data           (null)
	 flags: 0x84400fb(read|write|shared|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|mayshare|dontexpand|hugetlb)

	 set_vma_resv_flags+0x2d/0x30

The VM_BUG_ON is correct because private and shared mappings have
different reservation accounting but the warning clearly shows that the
VMA is shared.

When a private COW fails to allocate a new page then only the process
that created the VMA gets the page -- all the children unmap the page.
If the children access that data in the future then they get killed.

The problem is that the same file is mapped shared and private.  During
the COW, the allocation fails, the VMAs are traversed to unmap the other
private pages but a shared VMA is found and the bug is triggered.  This
patch identifies such VMAs and skips them.

vmscan: fix increasing nr_isolated incurred by putback unevictable pages

2015-10-07T14:18:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit c54839a722a02818677bcabe57e957f0ce4f841d ]

reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() assumes that shrink_page_list() returns
number of pages removed from the candidate list.  But shrink_page_list()
puts back mlocked pages without passing it to caller and without
counting as nr_reclaimed.  This increases nr_isolated.

To fix this, this patch changes shrink_page_list() to pass unevictable
pages back to caller.  Caller will take care those pages.

Minchan said:

It fixes two issues.

1. With unevictable page, cma_alloc will be successful.

Exactly speaking, cma_alloc of current kernel will fail due to
unevictable pages.

2. fix leaking of NR_ISOLATED counter of vmstat

With it, too_many_isolated works.  Otherwise, it could make hang until
the process get SIGKILL.

mm/hwpoison: fix fail isolate hugetlbfs page w/ refcount held

Hugetlbfs pages will get a refcount in get_any_page() or
madvise_hwpoison() if soft offlining through madvise.  The refcount which
is held by the soft offline path should be released if we fail to isolate

Fix it by reducing the refcount for both isolation success and failure.

mm: hugetlb: introduce page_huge_active

2015-09-15T17:47:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit bcc54222309c70ebcb6c69c156fba4a13dee0a3b ]

We are not safe from calling isolate_huge_page() on a hugepage
concurrently, which can make the victim hugepage in invalid state and
results in BUG_ON().

The root problem of this is that we don't have any information on struct
page (so easily accessible) about hugepages' activeness.  Note that
hugepages' activeness means just being linked to
hstate->hugepage_activelist, which is not the same as normal pages'
activeness represented by PageActive flag.

Normal pages are isolated by isolate_lru_page() which prechecks PageLRU
before isolation, so let's do similarly for hugetlb with a new
paeg_huge_active().

set/clear_page_huge_active() should be called within hugetlb_lock.  But
hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() don't do this, being justified because
in these functions set_page_huge_active() is called right after the
hugepage is allocated and no other thread tries to isolate it.
