bdi: Fix another oops in wb_workfn()

2018-06-22T18:08:07+00:00

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at wb_workfn() [1] due to
wb->bdi->dev being NULL. And Dmitry confirmed that wb->state was
WB_shutting_down after wb->bdi->dev became NULL. This indicates that
unregister_bdi() failed to call wb_shutdown() on one of wb objects.

The problem is in cgwb_bdi_unregister() which does cgwb_kill() and thus
drops bdi's reference to wb structures before going through the list of
wbs again and calling wb_shutdown() on each of them. This way the loop
iterating through all wbs can easily miss a wb if that wb has already
passed through cgwb_remove_from_bdi_list() called from wb_shutdown()
from cgwb_release_workfn() and as a result fully shutdown bdi although
wb_workfn() for this wb structure is still running. In fact there are
also other ways cgwb_bdi_unregister() can race with
cgwb_release_workfn() leading e.g. to use-after-free issues:

CPU1                            CPU2
                                cgwb_bdi_unregister()
                                  cgwb_kill(*slot);

cgwb_release()
  queue_work(cgwb_release_wq, &wb->release_work);
cgwb_release_workfn()
                                  wb = list_first_entry(&bdi->wb_list, ...)
                                  spin_unlock_irq(&cgwb_lock);
  wb_shutdown(wb);
  ...
  kfree_rcu(wb, rcu);
                                  wb_shutdown(wb); -> oops use-after-free

We solve these issues by synchronizing writeback structure shutdown from
cgwb_bdi_unregister() with cgwb_release_workfn() using a new mutex. That
way we also no longer need synchronization using WB_shutting_down as the
mutex provides it for CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK case and without
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK wb_shutdown() can be called only once from
bdi_unregister().

revert "mm/memblock: add missing include "

2018-06-18T22:43:44+00:00

The patch fixed a W=1 warning but broke the ia64 build:

    CC      mm/memblock.o
  mm/memblock.c:1340: error: redefinition of `memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw'
  ./include/linux/bootmem.h:335: error: previous definition of `memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw' was here

Because inlcude/linux/bootmem.h says

	#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK) && defined(CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM)

whereas mm/Makefile says

	obj-$(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK) += memblock.o

So revert 26f09e9b3a06 ("mm/memblock: add missing include
") while a full fix can be worked on.

mm: fix oom_kill event handling

2018-06-14T22:55:25+00:00

Commit e27be240df53 ("mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate
when waking pollers") converted most of memcg event counters to
per-memcg atomics, which made them less confusing for a user.  The
"oom_kill" counter remained untouched, so now it behaves differently
than other counters (including "oom").  This adds nothing but confusion.

Let's fix this by adding the MEMCG_OOM_KILL event, and follow the
MEMCG_OOM approach.

This also removes a hack from count_memcg_event_mm(), introduced earlier
specially for the OOM_KILL counter.

mremap: remove LATENCY_LIMIT from mremap to reduce the number of TLB shootdowns

2018-06-14T22:55:24+00:00

Commit 5d1904204c99 ("mremap: fix race between mremap() and page
cleanning") fixed races between mremap and other operations for both
file-backed and anonymous mappings.  The file-backed was the most
critical as it allowed the possibility that data could be changed on a
physical page after page_mkclean returned which could trigger data loss
or data integrity issues.

A customer reported that the cost of the TLBs for anonymous regressions
was excessive and resulting in a 30-50% drop in performance overall
since this commit on a microbenchmark.  Unfortunately I neither have
access to the test-case nor can I describe what it does other than
saying that mremap operations dominate heavily.

This patch removes the LATENCY_LIMIT to handle TLB flushes on a PMD
boundary instead of every 64 pages to reduce the number of TLB
shootdowns by a factor of 8 in the ideal case.  LATENCY_LIMIT was almost
certainly used originally to limit the PTL hold times but the latency
savings are likely offset by the cost of IPIs in many cases.  This patch
is not reported to completely restore performance but gets it within an
acceptable percentage.  The given metric here is simply described as
"higher is better".

Baseline that was known good
002:  Metric:       91.05
004:  Metric:      109.45
008:  Metric:       73.08
016:  Metric:       58.14
032:  Metric:       61.09
064:  Metric:       57.76
128:  Metric:       55.43

Current
001:  Metric:       54.98
002:  Metric:       56.56
004:  Metric:       41.22
008:  Metric:       35.96
016:  Metric:       36.45
032:  Metric:       35.71
064:  Metric:       35.73
128:  Metric:       34.96

With patch
001:  Metric:       61.43
002:  Metric:       81.64
004:  Metric:       67.92
008:  Metric:       51.67
016:  Metric:       50.47
032:  Metric:       52.29
064:  Metric:       50.01
128:  Metric:       49.04

So for low threads, it's not restored but for larger number of threads,
it's closer to the "known good" baseline.

Using a different mremap-intensive workload that is not representative
of the real workload there is little difference observed outside of
noise in the headline metrics However, the TLB shootdowns are reduced by
11% on average and at the peak, TLB shootdowns were reduced by 21%.
Interrupts were sampled every second while the workload ran to get those
figures.  It's known that the figures will vary as the
non-representative load is non-deterministic.

An alternative patch was posted that should have significantly reduced
the TLB flushes but unfortunately it does not perform as well as this
version on the customer test case.  If revisited, the two patches can
stack on top of each other.

mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate

2018-06-14T22:55:23+00:00

The memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation (SLUB only) is
asynchronous.  If a root kmem cache is destroyed whose memcg cache is in
the process of creation or deactivation, the kernel may crash.

Example of one such crash:
	general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
	CPU: 1 PID: 1721 Comm: kworker/14:1 Not tainted 4.17.0-smp
	...
	Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	RIP: 0010:has_cpu_slab
	...
	Call Trace:
	? on_each_cpu_cond
	__kmem_cache_shrink
	kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu
	kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	process_one_work
	worker_thread
	kthread
	ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

To fix this race, on root kmem cache destruction, mark the cache as
dying and flush the workqueue used for memcg kmem cache creation and
deactivation.  SLUB's memcg kmem cache deactivation also includes RCU
callback and thus make sure all previous registered RCU callbacks have
completed as well.

The problem happens because parent_mem_cgroup() returns a NULL pointer,
which is dereferenced later without a check.

As cgroup v1 has no memory guarantee support, let's make
mem_cgroup_protected() immediately return MEMCG_PROT_NONE, if the given
cgroup has no parent (non-hierarchical mode is used).
