mm: get rid of vmacache_flush_all() entirely

2018-09-19T20:47:17+00:00

commit 7a9cdebdcc17e426fb5287e4a82db1dfe86339b2 upstream.

Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only
potentially expensive, it's buggy too.  It also happens to be entirely
unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by
simply making the sequence number be 64-bit.  That doesn't even grow the
data structures in question, because the other adjacent fields are
already 64-bit.

So simplify the whole thing by just making the sequence number overflow
case go away entirely, which gets rid of all the complications and makes
the code faster too.  Win-win.

[ Oleg Nesterov points out that the VMACACHE_FULL_FLUSHES statistics
  also just goes away entirely with this ]

mm: remove seemingly spurious reclaimability check from laptop_mode gating

2018-09-19T20:47:12+00:00

commit 047d72c30eedcb953222810f1e7dcaae663aa452 upstream.

Commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") allowed laptop_mode=1 to start writing not just when the
priority drops to DEF_PRIORITY - 2 but also when the node is
unreclaimable.

That appears to be a spurious change in this patch as I doubt the series
was tested with laptop_mode, and neither is that particular change
mentioned in the changelog.  Remove it, it's still recent.

mm, vmscan: clear PGDAT_WRITEBACK when zone is balanced

2018-09-19T20:47:12+00:00

commit c2f83143f1c67d186520b72b6cefbf0aa07a34ee upstream.

Hillf Danton pointed out that since commit 1d82de618dd ("mm, vmscan:
make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") that PGDAT_WRITEBACK is no
longer cleared.

It was not noticed as triggering it requires pages under writeback to
cycle twice through the LRU and before kswapd gets stalled.
Historically, such issues tended to occur on small machines writing
heavily to slow storage such as a USB stick.

Once kswapd stalls, direct reclaim stalls may be higher but due to the
fact that memory pressure is required, it would not be very noticable.

Michal Hocko suggested removing the flag entirely but the conservative
fix is to restore the intended PGDAT_WRITEBACK behaviour and clear the
flag when a suitable zone is balanced.

Fixes: Commit 2aa6d036b716 ("mm: numa: avoid waiting on freed migrated pages")

2018-09-15T07:43:01+00:00

Commit 2aa6d036b716 ("mm: numa: avoid waiting on freed migrated pages")
was an incomplete backport of the upstream commit.  It is necessary to
always reset page_nid before attempting any early exit.

The original commit conflicted due to lack of commit 82b0f8c39a38
("mm: join struct fault_env and vm_fault") in 4.9 so it wasn't a clean
application, and the change must have just gotten lost in the noise.

mm/fadvise.c: fix signed overflow UBSAN complaint

2018-09-15T07:42:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit a718e28f538441a3b6612da9ff226973376cdf0f ]

Signed integer overflow is undefined according to the C standard.  The
overflow in ksys_fadvise64_64() is deliberate, but since it is signed
overflow, UBSAN complains:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/fadvise.c:76:10
	signed integer overflow:
	4 + 9223372036854775805 cannot be represented in type 'long long int'

Use unsigned types to do math.  Unsigned overflow is defined so UBSAN
will not complain about it.  This patch doesn't change generated code.

mm/tlb: Remove tlb_remove_table() non-concurrent condition

2018-09-09T18:01:23+00:00

commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.

Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).

If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().

memcg: remove memcg_cgroup::id from IDR on mem_cgroup_css_alloc() failure

2018-09-05T07:20:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7e97de0b033bcac4fa9a35cef72e0c06e6a22c67 ]

In case of memcg_online_kmem() failure, memcg_cgroup::id remains hashed
in mem_cgroup_idr even after memcg memory is freed.  This leads to leak
of ID in mem_cgroup_idr.

This patch adds removal into mem_cgroup_css_alloc(), which fixes the
problem.  For better readability, it adds a generic helper which is used
in mem_cgroup_alloc() and mem_cgroup_id_put_many() as well.

zswap: re-check zswap_is_full() after do zswap_shrink()

2018-09-05T07:20:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 16e536ef47f567289a5699abee9ff7bb304bc12d ]

/sys/../zswap/stored_pages keeps rising in a zswap test with
"zswap.max_pool_percent=0" parameter.  But it should not compress or
store pages any more since there is no space in the compressed pool.

Reproduce steps:
  1. Boot kernel with "zswap.enabled=1"
  2. Set the max_pool_percent to 0
      # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
  3. Do memory stress test to see if some pages have been compressed
      # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes $mem_available"M" --timeout 60s
  4. Watching the 'stored_pages' number increasing or not

The root cause is:

  When zswap_max_pool_percent is set to 0 via kernel parameter,
  zswap_is_full() will always return true due to zswap_shrink().  But if
  the shinking is able to reclain a page successfully the code then
  proceeds to compressing/storing another page, so the value of
  stored_pages will keep changing.

To solve the issue, this patch adds a zswap_is_full() check again after
  zswap_shrink() to make sure it's now under the max_pool_percent, and to
  not compress/store if we reached the limit.

kasan: fix shadow_size calculation error in kasan_module_alloc

2018-08-24T11:12:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1e8e18f694a52d703665012ca486826f64bac29d ]

There is a special case that the size is "(N << KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)
Pages plus X", the value of X is [1, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE-1].  The
operation "size >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT" will drop X, and the
roundup operation can not retrieve the missed one page.  For example:
size=0x28006, PAGE_SIZE=0x1000, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT=3, we will get
shadow_size=0x5000, but actually we need 6 pages.

  shadow_size = round_up(size >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT, PAGE_SIZE);

This can lead to a kernel crash when kasan is enabled and the value of
mod->core_layout.size or mod->init_layout.size is like above.  Because
the shadow memory of X has not been allocated and mapped.

move_module:
  ptr = module_alloc(mod->core_layout.size);
  ...
  memset(ptr, 0, mod->core_layout.size);		//crashed
