vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()

2016-10-22T10:40:25+00:00

commit c2a9737f45e27d8263ff9643f994bda9bac0b944 upstream.

We triggered a deadloop in truncate_inode_pages_range() on 32 bits
architecture with the test case bellow:

	...
	fd = open();
	write(fd, buf, 4096);
	preadv64(fd, &iovec, 1, 0xffffffff000);
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
	...

Then ftruncate() will not return forever.

The filesystem used in this case is ubifs, but it can be triggered on
many other filesystems.

When preadv64() is called with offset=0xffffffff000, a page with
index=0xffffffff will be added to the radix tree of ->mapping.  Then
this page can be found in ->mapping with pagevec_lookup().  After that,
truncate_inode_pages_range(), which is called in ftruncate(), will fall
into an infinite loop:

 - find a page with index=0xffffffff, since index>=end, this page won't
   be truncated

 - index++, and index become 0

 - the page with index=0xffffffff will be found again

The data type of index is unsigned long, so index won't overflow to 0 on
64 bits architecture in this case, and the dead loop won't happen.

Since truncate_inode_pages_range() is executed with holding lock of
inode->i_rwsem, any operation related with this lock will be blocked,
and a hung task will happen, e.g.:

  INFO: task truncate_test:3364 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  ...
     call_rwsem_down_write_failed+0x17/0x30
     generic_file_write_iter+0x32/0x1c0
     ubifs_write_iter+0xcc/0x170
     __vfs_write+0xc4/0x120
     vfs_write+0xb2/0x1b0
     SyS_write+0x46/0xa0

The page with index=0xffffffff added to ->mapping is useless.  Fix this
by checking the read position before allocating pages.

mm/hugetlb: fix memory offline with hugepage size > memory block size

2016-10-22T10:40:24+00:00

commit 2247bb335ab9c40058484cac36ea74ee652f3b7b upstream.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: memory offline issues with hugepages", v4.

This addresses several issues with hugepages and memory offline.  While
the first patch fixes a panic, and is therefore rather important, the
last patch is just a performance optimization.

The second patch fixes a theoretical issue with reserved hugepages,
while still leaving some ugly usability issue, see description.

This patch (of 3):

dissolve_free_huge_pages() will either run into the VM_BUG_ON() or a
list corruption and addressing exception when trying to set a memory
block offline that is part (but not the first part) of a "gigantic"
hugetlb page with a size > memory block size.

When no other smaller hugetlb page sizes are present, the VM_BUG_ON()
will trigger directly.  In the other case we will run into an addressing
exception later, because dissolve_free_huge_page() will not work on the
head page of the compound hugetlb page which will result in a NULL
hstate from page_hstate().

To fix this, first remove the VM_BUG_ON() because it is wrong, and then
use the compound head page in dissolve_free_huge_page().  This means
that an unused pre-allocated gigantic page that has any part of itself
inside the memory block that is going offline will be dissolved
completely.  Losing an unused gigantic hugepage is preferable to failing
the memory offline, for example in the situation where a (possibly
faulty) memory DIMM needs to go offline.

This is a long-standing bug in the way shadow entries are accounted in
the radix tree nodes. The shrinker needs to know when radix tree nodes
contain only shadow entries, no pages, so node->count is split in half
to count shadows in the upper bits and pages in the lower bits.

Unfortunately, the radix tree implementation doesn't know of this and
assumes all entries are in node->count. When there is a shadow entry
directly in root->rnode and the tree is later extended, the radix tree
implementation will copy that entry into the new node and and bump its
node->count, i.e. increases the page count bits. Once the shadow gets
removed and we subtract from the upper counter, node->count underflows
and triggers the warning. Afterwards, without node->count reaching 0
again, the radix tree node is leaked.

Limit shadow entries to when we have actual radix tree nodes and can
count them properly. That means we lose the ability to detect refaults
from files that had only the first page faulted in at eviction time.

mm: filemap: fix mapping->nrpages double accounting in fuse

2016-10-22T10:40:23+00:00

commit 3ddf40e8c31964b744ff10abb48c8e36a83ec6e7 upstream.

Commit 22f2ac51b6d6 ("mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker
caused by replace_page_cache_page()") switched replace_page_cache() from
raw radix tree operations to page_cache_tree_insert() but didn't take
into account that the latter function, unlike the raw radix tree op,
handles mapping->nrpages.  As a result, that counter is bumped for each
page replacement rather than balanced out even.

The mapping->nrpages counter is used to skip needless radix tree walks
when invalidating, truncating, syncing inodes without pages, as well as
statistics for userspace.  Since the error is positive, we'll do more
page cache tree walks than necessary; we won't miss a necessary one.
And we'll report more buffer pages to userspace than there are.  The
error is limited to fuse inodes.

mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()

2016-10-20T08:03:30+00:00

commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
(badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better).  The
s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9.  Earlier kernels will
have to look at the page state itself.

Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.

To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

mem-hotplug: use nodes that contain memory as mask in new_node_page()

9bb627be47a5 ("mem-hotplug: don't clear the only node in new_node_page()")
prevents allocating from an empty nodemask, but as David points out, it is
still wrong.  As node_online_map may include memoryless nodes, only
allocating from these nodes is meaningless.

This patch uses node_states[N_MEMORY] mask to prevent the above case.

mm,ksm: fix endless looping in allocating memory when ksm enable

2016-09-28T23:19:01+00:00

I hit the following hung task when runing a OOM LTP test case with 4.1
kernel.

Call trace:
[] __switch_to+0x74/0x8c
[] __schedule+0x23c/0x7bc
[] schedule+0x3c/0x94
[] rwsem_down_write_failed+0x214/0x350

[] do_signal+0x1d8/0x450
[] do_notify_resume+0x70/0x78

The oom victim cannot terminate because it needs to take mmap_sem for
write while the lock is held by ksmd for read which loops in the page
allocator

ksm_do_scan
	scan_get_next_rmap_item
		down_read
		get_next_rmap_item
			alloc_rmap_item   #ksmd will loop permanently.

There is no way forward because the oom victim cannot release any memory
in 4.1 based kernel.  Since 4.6 we have the oom reaper which would solve
this problem because it would release the memory asynchronously.
Nevertheless we can relax alloc_rmap_item requirements and use
__GFP_NORETRY because the allocation failure is acceptable as ksm_do_scan
would just retry later after the lock got dropped.

Such a patch would be also easy to backport to older stable kernels which
do not have oom_reaper.

While we are at it add GFP_NOWARN so the admin doesn't have to be alarmed
by the allocation failure.

mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing

2016-09-25T22:43:42+00:00

The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.

However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
__get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
region.

A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
simple repro code.

There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
added at commit c0e7cad to avoid accidentally provoking strange
behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.

This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
flag set and is therefore not always a bug.
