mm: Convert all PageMovable users to movable_operations

2022-08-02T16:34:03+00:00

These drivers are rather uncomfortably hammered into the
address_space_operations hole.  They aren't filesystems and don't behave
like filesystems.  They just need their own movable_operations structure,
which we can point to directly from page->mapping.

mm/balloon_compaction: make balloon page compaction callbacks static

2022-03-28T20:52:57+00:00

Since commit b1123ea6d3b3 ("mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page
feature"), these functions are called via balloon_aops callbacks. They're
not called directly outside this file. So make them static and clean up
the relevant code.

mm/balloon_compaction: suppress allocation warnings

2019-09-04T11:42:01+00:00

There is no reason to print warnings when balloon page allocation fails,
as they are expected and can be handled gracefully.  Since VMware
balloon now uses balloon-compaction infrastructure, and suppressed these
warnings before, it is also beneficial to suppress these warnings to
keep the same behavior that the balloon had before.

mm/balloon_compaction: avoid duplicate page removal

2019-07-22T15:19:26+00:00

A #GP is reported in the guest when requesting balloon inflation via
virtio-balloon. The reason is that the virtio-balloon driver has
removed the page from its internal page list (via balloon_page_pop),
but balloon_page_enqueue_one also calls "list_del"  to do the removal.
This is necessary when it's used from balloon_page_enqueue_list, but
not from balloon_page_enqueue.

Move list_del to balloon_page_enqueue, and update comments accordingly.

mm/balloon_compaction: List interfaces

2019-05-24T18:19:17+00:00

Introduce interfaces for ballooning enqueueing and dequeueing of a list
of pages. These interfaces reduce the overhead of storing and restoring
IRQs by batching the operations. In addition they do not panic if the
list of pages is empty.

virtio_balloon: fix deadlock on OOM

2017-11-14T21:57:38+00:00

fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock
can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from
virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock.

To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside the lock.

Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa:

In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&vb->balloon_lock) is called in order to
serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(),
alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is
called with vb->balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE]
implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY
is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody
else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via
virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via
out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock
mutex. Since vb->balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup.

  Thread1                                       Thread2
    fill_balloon()
      takes a balloon_lock
      balloon_page_enqueue()
        alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE)
          direct reclaim (__GFP_FS context)       takes a fs lock
            waits for that fs lock                  alloc_page(GFP_NOFS)
                                                      __alloc_pages_may_oom()
                                                        takes the oom_lock
                                                        out_of_memory()
