mm, hugetlb, soft_offline: use new_page_nodemask for soft offline migration

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

new_page is yet another duplication of the migration callback which has
to handle hugetlb migration specially.  We can safely use the generic
new_page_nodemask for the same purpose.

Please note that gigantic hugetlb pages do not need any special handling
because alloc_huge_page_nodemask will make sure to check pages in all
per node pools.  The reason this was done previously was that
alloc_huge_page_node treated NO_NUMA_NODE and a specific node
differently and so alloc_huge_page_node(nid) would check on this
specific node.

mm: hwpoison: dissolve in-use hugepage in unrecoverable memory error

2017-07-10T23:32:30+00:00

Currently me_huge_page() relies on dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() to
keep the error hugepage away from the system, which is OK but not good
enough because the hugepage still has a refcount and unpoison doesn't
work on the error hugepage (PageHWPoison flags are cleared but pages are
still leaked.) And there's "wasting health subpages" issue too.  This
patch reworks on me_huge_page() to solve these issues.

For hugetlb file, recently we have truncating code so let's use it in
hugetlbfs specific ->error_remove_page().

For anonymous hugepage, it's helpful to dissolve the error page after
freeing it into free hugepage list.  Migration entry and PageHWPoison in
the head page prevent the access to it.

TODO: dissolve_free_huge_page() can fail but we don't considered it yet.
It's not critical (and at least no worse that now) because in such case
the error hugepage just stays in free hugepage list without being
dissolved.  By virtue of PageHWPoison in head page, it's never allocated
to processes.

mm: hwpoison: introduce memory_failure_hugetlb()

2017-07-10T23:32:30+00:00

memory_failure() is a big function and hard to maintain.  Handling
hugetlb- and non-hugetlb- case in a single function is not good, so this
patch separates PageHuge() branch into a new function, which saves many
PageHuge() check.

mm: hugetlb: soft-offline: dissolve source hugepage after successful migration

2017-07-10T23:32:30+00:00

Currently hugepage migrated by soft-offline (i.e.  due to correctable
memory errors) is contained as a hugepage, which means many non-error
pages in it are unreusable, i.e.  wasted.

This patch solves this issue by dissolving source hugepages into buddy.
As done in previous patch, PageHWPoison is set only on a head page of
the error hugepage.  Then in dissoliving we move the PageHWPoison flag
to the raw error page so that all healthy subpages return back to buddy.

mm: hwpoison: change PageHWPoison behavior on hugetlb pages

2017-07-10T23:32:30+00:00

We'd like to narrow down the error region in memory error on hugetlb
pages.  However, currently we set PageHWPoison flags on all subpages in
the error hugepage and add # of subpages to num_hwpoison_pages, which
doesn't fit our purpose.

So this patch changes the behavior and we only set PageHWPoison on the
head page then increase num_hwpoison_pages only by 1.  This is a
preparation for narrow-down part which comes in later patches.

mm: hugetlb: prevent reuse of hwpoisoned free hugepages

2017-07-10T23:32:30+00:00

Patch series "mm: hwpoison: fixlet for hugetlb migration".

This patchset updates the hwpoison/hugetlb code to address 2 reported
issues.

One is madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) failure reported by Intel's lkp robot (see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170417055948.GM31394@yexl-desktop.) First
half was already fixed in mainline, and another half about hugetlb cases
are solved in this series.

Another issue is "narrow-down error affected region into a single 4kB
page instead of a whole hugetlb page" issue, which was tried by Anshuman
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170420110627.12307-1-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com)
and I updated it to apply it more widely.

This patch (of 9):

We no longer use MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent reuse of hwpoison hugepages
as we did before.  So current dequeue_huge_page_node() doesn't work as
intended because it still uses is_migrate_isolate_page() for this check.
This patch fixes it with PageHWPoison flag.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
 "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
  that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
  may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
  series.

  The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
  errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
  will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
  writes have made it to the backing store.

  For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
  in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
  writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
  side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
  model really sucks for userland.

  Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
  error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
  (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
  several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
  writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
  another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
  setups that coordination may even not be possible.

  But wait...it gets worse!

  The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
  call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
  and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
  callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
  userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
  back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
  because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
  (incorrectly) return 0.

  This pile aims to do three things:

   1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
      reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
      regardless of what internal callers are doing

   2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
      the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
      but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
      anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.

   3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
      error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
      lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
      filesystems should do in this situation.

  To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
  builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
  all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
  infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.

  Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
  There is a lot of work remaining here:

   1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
      initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
      simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
      filesystem trees.

   2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
      detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
      draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
      prime time yet.

  This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
  interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:
