mm: khugepaged: recalculate min_free_kbytes after memory hotplug as expected by khugepaged

2020-10-11T17:31:11+00:00

When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently after
hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost.

This change restores min_free_kbytes as expected for THP consumers.

mm/page_alloc: handle a missing case for memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs

2020-10-03T18:28:12+00:00

memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs can be used to skip page allocation
on CMA area, but, there is a missing case and the page on CMA area could
be allocated even if APIs are used.  This patch handles this case to fix
the potential issue.

For now, these APIs are used to prevent long-term pinning on the CMA
page.  When the long-term pinning is requested on the CMA page, it is
migrated to the non-CMA page before pinning.  This non-CMA page is
allocated by using memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs.  If APIs doesn't
work as intended, the CMA page is allocated and it is pinned for a long
time.  This long-term pin for the CMA page causes cma_alloc() failure
and it could result in wrong behaviour on the device driver who uses the
cma_alloc().

Missing case is an allocation from the pcplist.  MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcplist
could have the pages on CMA area so we need to skip it if ALLOC_CMA
isn't specified.

mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context

2020-09-26T17:33:57+00:00

Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3.

Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:

 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in
sysfs:

  $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21
  total 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 power
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones

The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both
the node1 and node2's directory.

This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run.  However when
later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged,
the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a
BUG_ON() is raised:

    system_call_exception+0x160/0x270
    system_call_common+0xf0/0x27c

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered,
the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block
is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.

There are two issues here:

 (a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these
     multiple links

 (b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
     panic.

To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the
system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot
plug operation or not.  This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this
series.

Issue (b) will be addressed separately.

This patch (of 2):

The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is
due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.

Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as
meminit_context.

There is no functional change introduced by this patch

mm, page_alloc: fix core hung in free_pcppages_bulk()

2020-08-21T16:52:53+00:00

The following race is observed with the repeated online, offline and a
delay between two successive online of memory blocks of movable zone.

P1						P2

Online the first memory block in
the movable zone. The pcp struct
values are initialized to default
values,i.e., pcp->high = 0 &
pcp->batch = 1.

					Allocate the pages from the
					movable zone.

Try to Online the second memory
block in the movable zone thus it
entered the online_pages() but yet
to call zone_pcp_update().
					This process is entered into
					the exit path thus it tries
					to release the order-0 pages
					to pcp lists through
					free_unref_page_commit().
					As pcp->high = 0, pcp->count = 1
					proceed to call the function
					free_pcppages_bulk().
Update the pcp values thus the
new pcp values are like, say,
pcp->high = 378, pcp->batch = 63.
					Read the pcp's batch value using
					READ_ONCE() and pass the same to
					free_pcppages_bulk(), pcp values
					passed here are, batch = 63,
					count = 1.

					Since num of pages in the pcp
					lists are less than ->batch,
					then it will stuck in
					while(list_empty(list)) loop
					with interrupts disabled thus
					a core hung.

Avoid this by ensuring free_pcppages_bulk() is called with proper count of
pcp list pages.

The mentioned race is some what easily reproducible without [1] because
pcp's are not updated for the first memory block online and thus there is
a enough race window for P2 between alloc+free and pcp struct values
update through onlining of second memory block.

With [1], the race still exists but it is very narrow as we update the pcp
struct values for the first memory block online itself.

This is not limited to the movable zone, it could also happen in cases
with the normal zone (e.g., hotplug to a node that only has DMA memory, or
no other memory yet).

mm: include CMA pages in lowmem_reserve at boot

2020-08-21T16:52:53+00:00

The lowmem_reserve arrays provide a means of applying pressure against
allocations from lower zones that were targeted at higher zones.  Its
values are a function of the number of pages managed by higher zones and
are assigned by a call to the setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() function.

The function is initially called at boot time by the function
init_per_zone_wmark_min() and may be called later by accesses of the
/proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio sysctl file.

The function init_per_zone_wmark_min() was moved up from a module_init to
a core_initcall to resolve a sequencing issue with khugepaged.
Unfortunately this created a sequencing issue with CMA page accounting.

The CMA pages are added to the managed page count of a zone when
cma_init_reserved_areas() is called at boot also as a core_initcall.  This
makes it uncertain whether the CMA pages will be added to the managed page
counts of their zones before or after the call to
init_per_zone_wmark_min() as it becomes dependent on link order.  With the
current link order the pages are added to the managed count after the
lowmem_reserve arrays are initialized at boot.

This means the lowmem_reserve values at boot may be lower than the values
used later if /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio is accessed even if the
ratio values are unchanged.

In many cases the difference is not significant, but for example
an ARM platform with 1GB of memory and the following memory layout

  cma: Reserved 256 MiB at 0x0000000030000000
  Zone ranges:
    DMA      [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000002fffffff]
    Normal   empty
    HighMem  [mem 0x0000000030000000-0x000000003fffffff]

would result in 0 lowmem_reserve for the DMA zone.  This would allow
userspace to deplete the DMA zone easily.

Funnily enough

  $ cat /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio

would fix up the situation because as a side effect it forces
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve.

This commit breaks the link order dependency by invoking
init_per_zone_wmark_min() as a postcore_initcall so that the CMA pages
have the chance to be properly accounted in their zone(s) and allowing
the lowmem_reserve arrays to receive consistent values.

mm: store compound_nr as well as compound_order

2020-08-15T02:56:56+00:00

Patch series "THP prep patches".

These are some generic cleanups and improvements, which I would like
merged into mmotm soon.  The first one should be a performance improvement
for all users of compound pages, and the others are aimed at getting code
to compile away when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled (ie small
systems).  Also better documented / less confusing than the current prefix
mixture of compound, hpage and thp.

This patch (of 7):

This removes a few instructions from functions which need to know how many
pages are in a compound page.  The storage used is either page->mapping on
64-bit or page->index on 32-bit.  Both of these are fine to overlay on
tail pages.

mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs

2020-08-07T18:33:29+00:00

Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area
in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However,
there are two problems of this implementation.

First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath,
original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in
order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be
allocated through the allocation fastpath even if
memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just
one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual
problem.
Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect
to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target.

To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude
CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the
alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits
for excluding CMA area in allocation.

mm/page_alloc.c: skip setting nodemask when we are in interrupt

2020-08-07T18:33:29+00:00

When we are in the interrupt context, it is irrelevant to the current task
context.  If we use current task's mems_allowed, we can be fair to alloc
pages in the fast path and fall back to slow path memory allocation when
the current node(which is the current task mems_allowed) does not have
enough memory to allocate.  In this case, it slows down the memory
allocation speed of interrupt context.  So we can skip setting the
nodemask to allow any node to allocate memory, so that fast path
allocation can success.
