mm: fix the NULL mapping case in __isolate_lru_page()

2018-06-06T14:46:23+00:00

commit 145e1a71e090575c74969e3daa8136d1e5b99fc8 upstream.

George Boole would have noticed a slight error in 4.16 commit
69d763fc6d3a ("mm: pin address_space before dereferencing it while
isolating an LRU page").  Fix it, to match both the comment above it,
and the original behaviour.

Although anonymous pages are not marked PageDirty at first, we have an
old habit of calling SetPageDirty when a page is removed from swap
cache: so there's a category of ex-swap pages that are easily
migratable, but were inadvertently excluded from compaction's async
migration in 4.16.

mm: fix races between address_space dereference and free in page_evicatable

2018-05-30T05:49:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit e92bb4dd9673945179b1fc738c9817dd91bfb629 ]

When page_mapping() is called and the mapping is dereferenced in
page_evicatable() through shrink_active_list(), it is possible for the
inode to be truncated and the embedded address space to be freed at the
same time.  This may lead to the following race.

CPU1                                                CPU2

truncate(inode)                                     shrink_active_list()
  ...                                                 page_evictable(page)
  truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
    delete_from_page_cache(page)
      spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
        __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
          page_cache_tree_delete(..)
            ...                                         mapping = page_mapping(page);
            page->mapping = NULL;
            ...
      spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
      page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
        put_page(page)
          if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space

                                                        mapping_unevictable(mapping)
							  test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE, &mapping->flags);
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.

Similar race exists between swap cache freeing and page_evicatable()
too.

The address_space in inode and swap cache will be freed after a RCU
grace period.  So the races are fixed via enclosing the page_mapping()
and address_space usage in rcu_read_lock/unlock().  Some comments are
added in code to make it clear what is protected by the RCU read lock.

mm/ksm: fix interaction with THP

2018-05-30T05:49:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 77da2ba0648a4fd52e5ff97b8b2b8dd312aec4b0 ]

This patch fixes a corner case for KSM.  When two pages belong or
belonged to the same transparent hugepage, and they should be merged,
KSM fails to split the page, and therefore no merging happens.

This bug can be reproduced by:
* making sure ksm is running (in case disabling ksmtuned)
* enabling transparent hugepages
* allocating a THP-aligned 1-THP-sized buffer
  e.g. on amd64: posix_memalign(&p, 1<<21, 1<<21)
* filling it with the same values
  e.g. memset(p, 42, 1<<21)
* performing madvise to make it mergeable
  e.g. madvise(p, 1<<21, MADV_MERGEABLE)
* waiting for KSM to perform a few scans

The expected outcome is that the all the pages get merged (1 shared and
the rest sharing); the actual outcome is that no pages get merged (1
unshared and the rest volatile)

The reason of this behaviour is that we increase the reference count
once for both pages we want to merge, but if they belong to the same
hugepage (or compound page), the reference counter used in both cases is
the one of the head of the compound page.  This means that
split_huge_page will find a value of the reference counter too high and
will fail.

This patch solves this problem by testing if the two pages to merge
belong to the same hugepage when attempting to merge them.  If so, the
hugepage is split safely.  This means that the hugepage is not split if
not necessary.

swap: divide-by-zero when zero length swap file on ssd

2018-05-30T05:49:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit a06ad633a37c64a0cd4c229fc605cee8725d376e ]

Calling swapon() on a zero length swap file on SSD can lead to a
divide-by-zero.

Although creating such files isn't possible with mkswap and they woud be
considered invalid, it would be better for the swapon code to be more
robust and handle this condition gracefully (return -EINVAL).
Especially since the fix is small and straightforward.

To help with wear leveling on SSD, the swapon syscall calculates a
random position in the swap file using modulo p->highest_bit, which is
set to maxpages - 1 in read_swap_header.

If the swap file is zero length, read_swap_header sets maxpages=1 and
last_page=0, resulting in p->highest_bit=0 and we divide-by-zero when we
modulo p->highest_bit in swapon syscall.

This can be prevented by having read_swap_header return zero if
last_page is zero.

mm/kmemleak.c: wait for scan completion before disabling free

2018-05-30T05:49:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 914b6dfff790544d9b77dfd1723adb3745ec9700 ]

A crash is observed when kmemleak_scan accesses the object->pointer,
likely due to the following race.

  TASK A             TASK B                     TASK C
  kmemleak_write
   (with "scan" and
   NOT "scan=on")
  kmemleak_scan()
                     create_object
                     kmem_cache_alloc fails
                     kmemleak_disable
                     kmemleak_do_cleanup
                     kmemleak_free_enabled = 0
                                                kfree
                                                kmemleak_free bails out
                                                 (kmemleak_free_enabled is 0)
                                                slub frees object->pointer
  update_checksum
  crash - object->pointer
   freed (DEBUG_PAGEALLOC)

kmemleak_do_cleanup waits for the scan thread to complete, but not for
direct call to kmemleak_scan via kmemleak_write.  So add a wait for
kmemleak_scan completion before disabling kmemleak_free, and while at it
fix the comment on stop_scan_thread.

mm/mempolicy.c: avoid use uninitialized preferred_node

[ Upstream commit 8970a63e965b43288c4f5f40efbc2bbf80de7f16 ]

Alexander reported a use of uninitialized memory in __mpol_equal(),
which is caused by incorrect use of preferred_node.

When mempolicy in mode MPOL_PREFERRED with flags MPOL_F_LOCAL, it uses
numa_node_id() instead of preferred_node, however, __mpol_equal() uses
preferred_node without checking whether it is MPOL_F_LOCAL or not.

mm: pin address_space before dereferencing it while isolating an LRU page

2018-05-30T05:48:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 69d763fc6d3aee787a3e8c8c35092b4f4960fa5d ]

Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects
address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and
__isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows

CPU1                                            CPU2

truncate(inode)                                 __isolate_lru_page()
  ...
  truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
    delete_from_page_cache(page)
      spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
        __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
          page_cache_tree_delete(..)
            ...                                   mapping = page_mapping(page);
            page->mapping = NULL;
            ...
      spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
      page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
        put_page(page)
          if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space

                                                  if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage)
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.

The race is theoretically possible but unlikely.  Before the
delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is
likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only
caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page.  Even if the race
occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window
with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual
machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical
window.

This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the
page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not
acquired.  There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a
side-effect to prevent mapping being freed.  However, I do not like the
solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and
it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

mm/mempolicy: add nodes_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages

2018-05-30T05:48:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0486a38bcc4749808edbc848f1bcf232042770fc ]

As in manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when
none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed by
the process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified nodes
contain memory.  However, when test by following case:

	new_nodes = 0;
	old_nodes = 0xf;
	ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);

The ret will be 0 and no errno is set.  As the new_nodes is empty, we
should expect EINVAL as documented.

To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes AND
current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND
node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

mm/mempolicy: fix the check of nodemask from user

2018-05-30T05:48:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 56521e7a02b7b84a5e72691a1fb15570e6055545 ]

As Xiaojun reported the ltp of migrate_pages01 will fail on arm64 system
which has 4 nodes[0...3], all have memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=2:

  migrate_pages01    0  TINFO  :  test_invalid_nodes
  migrate_pages01   14  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1
  migrate_pages01   15  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:55: call succeeded unexpectedly

In this case the test_invalid_nodes of migrate_pages01 will call:
SYSC_migrate_pages as:

  migrate_pages(0, , {0x0000000000000001}, 64, , {0x0000000000000010}, 64) = 0

The new nodes specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the
maximum supported node ID, however, the errno is not set to EINVAL as
expected.

As man pages of set_mempolicy[1], mbind[2], and migrate_pages[3]
mentioned, when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater
than the maximum supported node ID, the errno should set to EINVAL.
However, get_nodes only check whether the part of bits
[BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES), maxnode) is zero or not, and
remain [MAX_NUMNODES, BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)
unchecked.

This patch is to check the bits of [MAX_NUMNODES, maxnode) in get_nodes
to let migrate_pages set the errno to EINVAL when nodemask specifies one
or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID,
which follows the manpage's guide.

kasan: fix memory hotplug during boot

commit 3f1959721558a976aaf9c2024d5bc884e6411bf7 upstream.

Using module_init() is wrong.  E.g.  ACPI adds and onlines memory before
our memory notifier gets registered.

This makes sure that ACPI memory detected during boot up will not result
in a kernel crash.

Easily reproducible with QEMU, just specify a DIMM when starting up.
