mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problem

2017-08-10T22:54:07+00:00

Nadav reported parallel MADV_DONTNEED on same range has a stale TLB
problem and Mel fixed it[1] and found same problem on MADV_FREE[2].

Quote from Mel Gorman:
 "The race in question is CPU 0 running madv_free and updating some PTEs
  while CPU 1 is also running madv_free and looking at the same PTEs.
  CPU 1 may have writable TLB entries for a page but fail the pte_dirty
  check (because CPU 0 has updated it already) and potentially fail to
  flush.

  Hence, when madv_free on CPU 1 returns, there are still potentially
  writable TLB entries and the underlying PTE is still present so that a
  subsequent write does not necessarily propagate the dirty bit to the
  underlying PTE any more. Reclaim at some unknown time at the future
  may then see that the PTE is still clean and discard the page even
  though a write has happened in the meantime. I think this is possible
  but I could have missed some protection in madv_free that prevents it
  happening."

This patch aims for solving both problems all at once and is ready for
other problem with KSM, MADV_FREE and soft-dirty story[3].

TLB batch API(tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu] uses [inc|dec]_tlb_flush_pending
and mmu_tlb_flush_pending so that when tlb_finish_mmu is called, we can
catch there are parallel threads going on.  In that case, forcefully,
flush TLB to prevent for user to access memory via stale TLB entry
although it fail to gather page table entry.

I confirmed this patch works with [4] test program Nadav gave so this
patch supersedes "mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range
v2" in current mmotm.

NOTE:

This patch modifies arch-specific TLB gathering interface(x86, ia64,
s390, sh, um).  It seems most of architecture are straightforward but
s390 need to be careful because tlb_flush_mmu works only if
mm->context.flush_mm is set to non-zero which happens only a pte entry
really is cleared by ptep_get_and_clear and friends.  However, this
problem never changes the pte entries but need to flush to prevent
memory access from stale tlb.

mm: refactor TLB gathering API

2017-08-10T22:54:07+00:00

This patch is a preparatory patch for solving race problems caused by
TLB batch.  For that, we will increase/decrease TLB flush pending count
of mm_struct whenever tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu is called.

Before making it simple, this patch separates architecture specific part
and rename it to arch_tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu and generic part just
calls it.

It shouldn't change any behavior.

asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype

2017-07-10T23:32:34+00:00

This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of
"include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch
5), and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro
to deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6).  Patches 1 to 4
are prerequisites.

Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of
this patch series.  Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2.

Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of
warnings when  was included by .  That is
no longer relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was
acked by a Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz.

Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on
"include/linux/bug.h" before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch
5.

Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h"
into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including
 in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures
due to circular dependencies.

Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid
some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has
array type.

1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype
2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment
3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)"
4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'"
5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into 
6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()

This patch (of 6):

The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its
parameters.  This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not
already declared.  Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid
the warnings.

   - Some rework of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() such that the above
     TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() could reuse the same code.

   - Recording of tgid (Thread Group ID). This is similar to how task
     COMMs are recorded (cached at sched_switch), where it is in a table
     and used on output of the trace and trace_pipe files.

   - Have ":mod:" be cached when written into set_ftrace_filter.
     Then the functions of the module will be traced at module load.

   - Some random clean ups and small fixes"

mm/hugetlb: allow architectures to override huge_pte_clear()

2017-07-06T23:24:34+00:00

When unmapping a hugepage range, huge_pte_clear() is used to clear the
page table entries that are marked as not present.  huge_pte_clear()
internally just ends up calling pte_clear() which does not correctly
deal with hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries.

Add a size argument to address this issue and allow architectures to
override huge_pte_clear() by wrapping it in a #ifndef block.

Update s390 implementation with the size parameter as well.

Note that the change only affects huge_pte_clear() - the other generic
hugetlb functions don't need any change.
