From d507e2ebd2c7be9138e5cf5c0cb1931c90c42ab1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:23:31 -0700 Subject: mm: fix global NR_SLAB_.*CLAIMABLE counter reads As Tetsuo points out: "Commit 385386cff4c6 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly 0kB" In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during suspend-to-disk. This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the aggregate zone data. Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.

It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various races. Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others. The more fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes the page-tables. This other core may assume a PTE change does not require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that TLB flushes are still pending. This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior). A proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED. Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and replacing the KSM page. Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect architectures with weak memory model. This patch (of 7): Setting and clearing mm->tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in task_numa_work(). If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes. This can lead to the same race between migration and change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of tlb_flush_pending. The result of this race was data corruption, which means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data corruption. An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.
