mm: memcontrol: fix memcg id ref counter on swap charge move

2016-08-16T07:30:51+00:00

commit 615d66c37c755c49ce022c9e5ac0875d27d2603d upstream.

Since commit 73f576c04b94 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure
after many small jobs") swap entries do not pin memcg->css.refcnt
directly.  Instead, they pin memcg->id.ref.  So we should adjust the
reference counters accordingly when moving swap charges between cgroups.

mm: memcontrol: fix swap counter leak on swapout from offline cgroup

2016-08-16T07:30:51+00:00

commit 1f47b61fb4077936465dcde872a4e5cc4fe708da upstream.

An offline memory cgroup might have anonymous memory or shmem left
charged to it and no swap.  Since only swap entries pin the id of an
offline cgroup, such a cgroup will have no id and so an attempt to
swapout its anon/shmem will not store memory cgroup info in the swap
cgroup map.  As a result, memcg->swap or memcg->memsw will never get
uncharged from it and any of its ascendants.

Fix this by always charging swapout to the first ancestor cgroup that
hasn't released its id yet.

mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs

2016-08-16T07:30:51+00:00

commit 73f576c04b9410ed19660f74f97521bee6e1c546 upstream.

The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears.  At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild.  Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs.  Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.

Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.

Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later.  They pose no hurdle.

Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages.  And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.

This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that.  This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.

This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:

  set -e
  mkdir -p pages
  for x in `seq 128000`; do
    [ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
    mkdir /cgroup/foo
    echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
    echo trex >pages/$x
    echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
    rmdir /cgroup/foo
  done

When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:

  [root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
  [...]
  65000
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device

After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

mm, meminit: ensure node is online before checking whether pages are uninitialised

2016-08-10T09:49:25+00:00

commit ef70b6f41cda6270165a6f27b2548ed31cfa3cb2 upstream.

early_page_uninitialised looks up an arbitrary PFN.  While a machine
without node 0 will boot with "mm, page_alloc: Always return a valid
node from early_pfn_to_nid", it works because it assumes that nodes are
always in PFN order.  This is not guaranteed so this patch adds
robustness by always checking if the node being checked is online.

mm, meminit: always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid

commit e4568d3803852d00effd41dcdd489e726b998879 upstream.

early_pfn_to_nid can return node 0 if a PFN is invalid on machines that
has no node 0.  A machine with only node 1 was observed to crash with
the following message:

   BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000000002a3c8

The problem is that early_page_uninitialised uses the early_pfn_to_nid
helper which returns node 0 for invalid PFNs.  No caller of
early_pfn_to_nid cares except early_page_uninitialised.  This patch has
early_pfn_to_nid always return a valid node.

mm, compaction: prevent VM_BUG_ON when terminating freeing scanner

2016-08-10T09:49:25+00:00

commit a46cbf3bc53b6a93fb84a5ffb288c354fa807954 upstream.

It's possible to isolate some freepages in a pageblock and then fail
split_free_page() due to the low watermark check.  In this case, we hit
VM_BUG_ON() because the freeing scanner terminated early without a
contended lock or enough freepages.

This should never have been a VM_BUG_ON() since it's not a fatal
condition.  It should have been a VM_WARN_ON() at best, or even handled
gracefully.

Regardless, we need to terminate anytime the full pageblock scan was not
done.  The logic belongs in isolate_freepages_block(), so handle its
state gracefully by terminating the pageblock loop and making a note to
restart at the same pageblock next time since it was not possible to
complete the scan this time.

mm, compaction: abort free scanner if split fails

2016-08-10T09:49:25+00:00

commit a4f04f2c6955aff5e2c08dcb40aca247ff4d7370 upstream.

If the memory compaction free scanner cannot successfully split a free
page (only possible due to per-zone low watermark), terminate the free
scanner rather than continuing to scan memory needlessly.  If the
watermark is insufficient for a free page of order <= cc->order, then
terminate the scanner since all future splits will also likely fail.

This prevents the compaction freeing scanner from scanning all memory on
very large zones (very noticeable for zones > 128GB, for instance) when
all splits will likely fail while holding zone->lock.

compaction_alloc() iterating a 128GB zone has been benchmarked to take
over 400ms on some systems whereas any free page isolated and ready to
be split ends up failing in split_free_page() because of the low
watermark check and thus the iteration continues.

The next time compaction occurs, the freeing scanner will likely start
at the end of the zone again since no success was made previously and we
get the same lengthy iteration until the zone is brought above the low
watermark.  All thp page faults can take >400ms in such a state without
this fix.

mm, sl[au]b: add __GFP_ATOMIC to the GFP reclaim mask

2016-08-10T09:49:25+00:00

commit e838a45f9392a5bd2be1cd3ab0b16ae85857461c upstream.

Commit d0164adc89f6 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable
to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified
__GFP_WAIT to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers
and those that were unwilling to sleep.  Later the definition was
removed entirely.

The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking
and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added.  Without it,
atomic users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and
cannot access the page allocator atomic reserves.  This patch addresses
the problem.

The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic
allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.

tmpfs: fix regression hang in fallocate undo

2016-07-27T16:47:40+00:00

commit 7f556567036cb7f89aabe2f0954b08566b4efb53 upstream.

The well-spotted fallocate undo fix is good in most cases, but not when
fallocate failed on the very first page.  index 0 then passes lend -1
to shmem_undo_range(), and that has two bad effects: (a) that it will
undo every fallocation throughout the file, unrestricted by the current
range; but more importantly (b) it can cause the undo to hang, because
lend -1 is treated as truncation, which makes it keep on retrying until
every page has gone, but those already fully instantiated will never go
away.  Big thank you to xfstests generic/269 which demonstrates this.

tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page

commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe upstream.

When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages.  This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte.  Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.
