Revert "mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout"

2021-01-26T18:39:46+00:00

This reverts commit d3921cb8be29ce5668c64e23ffdaeec5f8c69399.

Chris Wilson reports that it causes boot problems:

 "We have half a dozen or so different machines in CI that are silently
  failing to boot, that we believe is bisected to this patch"

and the CI team confirmed that a revert fixed the issues.

The cause is unknown for now, so let's revert it.

kasan, mm: fix resetting page_alloc tags for HW_TAGS

2021-01-24T18:34:52+00:00

A previous commit added resetting KASAN page tags to
kernel_init_free_pages() to avoid false-positives due to accesses to
metadata with the hardware tag-based mode.

That commit did reset page tags before the metadata access, but didn't
restore them after.  As the result, KASAN fails to detect bad accesses
to page_alloc allocations on some configurations.

Fix this by recovering the tag after the metadata access.

mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout

2021-01-24T17:20:52+00:00

There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical
memory.  This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple
of SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes
reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.

Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem()
function that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if
there is a struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields if this page
are set to default values and the page is marked as Reserved.

init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page
belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.

On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA,
for instance in a configuration below:

	# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem
	7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type
	7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM

unset zone link in struct page will trigger

	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);

because there are pages in both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_DMA (unset zone link
in struct page) in the same pageblock.

Update init_unavailable_mem() to use zone constraints defined by an
architecture to properly setup the zone link and use node ID of the
adjacent range in memblock.memory to set the node link.

mm: memmap defer init doesn't work as expected

2020-12-29T23:36:49+00:00

VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their
platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init:
iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it.

Before the commit:

  [0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
  [0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
  [0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448

With commit

  [0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
  [0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
  [2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448

The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected.

Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone,
to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of
the last zone in that numa node.  However, since commit 73a6e474cb376,
function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions
inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each
region.

E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two
memory regions in node 2.  The current code will mistakenly initialize the
whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to
iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem
0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff].  In fact, we only expect to see that there's
only one memory section's memmap initialized.  That's why more time is
costed at the time.

[    0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff]
[    0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff]
[    0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff]
[    0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff]
[    0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff]
[    0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]

Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass
down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge
whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata

2020-12-22T20:55:08+00:00

Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie
out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is
freed.  Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive
reports with hardware tag-based KASAN.

Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via
KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current()
annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports.

With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as
it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE
is disabled after the first one.

Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

kasan, mm: untag page address in free_reserved_area

2020-12-22T20:55:07+00:00

free_reserved_area() memsets the pages belonging to a given memory area.
As that memory hasn't been allocated via page_alloc, the KASAN tags that
those pages have are 0x00.  As the result the memset might result in a tag
mismatch.

Untag the address to avoid spurious faults.

mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock

2020-12-15T22:48:04+00:00

This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node.  So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition.  They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.

After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.

In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.

Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on
his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box.
