mm, hotplug: fix page online with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC compiled but not enabled

2020-03-06T13:06:09+00:00

Commit cd02cf1aceea ("mm/hotplug: fix an imbalance with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC")
fixed memory hotplug with debug_pagealloc enabled, where onlining a page
goes through page freeing, which removes the direct mapping.  Some arches
don't like when the page is not mapped in the first place, so
generic_online_page() maps it first.  This is somewhat wasteful, but
better than special casing page freeing fast paths.

The commit however missed that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured doesn't mean
it's actually enabled.  One has to test debug_pagealloc_enabled() since
031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime
configurable"), or alternatively debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() since
8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early"),
but this is not done.

As a result, a s390 kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured but not enabled
will crash:

Fix this by checking debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() before calling
kernel_map_pages(). Backports for kernel before 5.5 should use
debug_pagealloc_enabled() instead. Also add comments.

mm: avoid data corruption on CoW fault into PFN-mapped VMA

2020-03-06T13:06:09+00:00

Jeff Moyer has reported that one of xfstests triggers a warning when run
on DAX-enabled filesystem:

	WARNING: CPU: 76 PID: 51024 at mm/memory.c:2317 wp_page_copy+0xc40/0xd50
	...
	wp_page_copy+0x98c/0xd50 (unreliable)

	__do_page_fault+0x240/0xd70
	do_page_fault+0x38/0xd0
	handle_page_fault+0x10/0x30

The warning happens on failed __copy_from_user_inatomic() which tries to
copy data into a CoW page.

This happens because of race between MADV_DONTNEED and CoW page fault:

	CPU0					CPU1
 handle_mm_fault()
   do_wp_page()
     wp_page_copy()
       do_wp_page()
					madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
					  zap_page_range()
					    zap_pte_range()
					      ptep_get_and_clear_full()
					      
	 __copy_from_user_inatomic()
	 sees empty PTE and fails
	 WARN_ON_ONCE(1)
	 clear_page()

The solution is to re-try __copy_from_user_inatomic() under PTL after
checking that PTE is matches the orig_pte.

The second copy attempt can still fail, like due to non-readable PTE, but
there's nothing reasonable we can do about, except clearing the CoW page.

mm: fix possible PMD dirty bit lost in set_pmd_migration_entry()

2020-03-06T13:06:09+00:00

In set_pmd_migration_entry(), pmdp_invalidate() is used to change PMD
atomically.  But the PMD is read before that with an ordinary memory
reading.  If the THP (transparent huge page) is written between the PMD
reading and pmdp_invalidate(), the PMD dirty bit may be lost, and cause
data corruption.  The race window is quite small, but still possible in
theory, so need to be fixed.

The race is fixed via using the return value of pmdp_invalidate() to get
the original content of PMD, which is a read/modify/write atomic
operation.  So no THP writing can occur in between.

The race has been introduced when the THP migration support is added in
the commit 616b8371539a ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path").
But this fix depends on the commit d52605d7cb30 ("mm: do not lose dirty
and accessed bits in pmdp_invalidate()").  So it's easy to be backported
after v4.16.  But the race window is really small, so it may be fine not
to backport the fix at all.

mm, numa: fix bad pmd by atomically check for pmd_trans_huge when marking page tables prot_numa

: The bug is due a race in change_pmd_range between a pmd_trans_huge and

: testing (usually triggers between 20 minutes and 24 hours) without
: detecting bad PMDs or corruption.  A basic test of an autonuma-intensive
: workload showed no significant change in behaviour.

Although Mel withdrew the patch on the face of LKML comment
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/10/922 the race window aforementioned is
still open, and we have reports of Linpack test reporting bad residuals
after the bad PMD warning is observed.  In addition to that, bad
rss-counter and non-zero pgtables assertions are triggered on mm teardown
for the task hitting the bad PMD.

 host kernel: BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 4096

The issue is observed on a v4.18-based distribution kernel, but the race
window is expected to be applicable to mainline kernels, as well.

 "It's all straightforward apart from the changes to mmap()/mremap() in
  relation to their handling of address arguments from userspace with
  non-zero tag bits in the upper byte.

  The change to brk() is necessary to fix a nasty user-visible
  regression in malloc(), but we tightened up mmap() and mremap() at the
  same time because they also allow the user to create virtual aliases
  by accident. It's much less likely than brk() to matter in practice,
  but enforcing the principle of "don't permit the creation of mappings
  using tagged addresses" leads to a straightforward ABI without having
  to worry about the "but what if a crazy program did foo?" aspect of
  things.

  Summary:

mm/vmscan.c: don't round up scan size for online memory cgroup

2020-02-21T19:22:15+00:00

Commit 68600f623d69 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off
error") makes the scan size round up to @denominator regardless of the
memory cgroup's state, online or offline.  This affects the overall
reclaiming behavior: the corresponding LRU list is eligible for
reclaiming only when its size logically right shifted by @sc->priority
is bigger than zero in the former formula.

For example, the inactive anonymous LRU list should have at least 0x4000
pages to be eligible for reclaiming when we have 60/12 for
swappiness/priority and without taking scan/rotation ratio into account.

After the roundup is applied, the inactive anonymous LRU list becomes
eligible for reclaiming when its size is bigger than or equal to 0x1000
in the same condition.

    (0x4000 >> 12) * 60 / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1
    ((0x1000 >> 12) * 60) + 200) / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1

aarch64 has 512MB huge page size when the base page size is 64KB.  The
memory cgroup that has a huge page is always eligible for reclaiming in
that case.

The reclaiming is likely to stop after the huge page is reclaimed,
meaing the further iteration on @sc->priority and the silbing and child
memory cgroups will be skipped.  The overall behaviour has been changed.
This fixes the issue by applying the roundup to offlined memory cgroups
only, to give more preference to reclaim memory from offlined memory
cgroup.  It sounds reasonable as those memory is unlikedly to be used by
anyone.

The issue was found by starting up 8 VMs on a Ampere Mustang machine,
which has 8 CPUs and 16 GB memory.  Each VM is given with 2 vCPUs and
2GB memory.  It took 264 seconds for all VMs to be completely up and
784MB swap is consumed after that.  With this patch applied, it took 236
seconds and 60MB swap to do same thing.  So there is 10% performance
improvement for my case.  Note that KSM is disable while THP is enabled
in the testing.
