Hugh Dickins and Minchan Kim observed a long time issue which discussed here, but actully the mentioned fix in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150504031722.GA2768@blaptop/ was missed. The store reordering may cause problem in the scenario: CPU 0 CPU1 do_anonymous_page page_add_new_anon_rmap() page->mapping = anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() spin_lock(lruvec->lock) SetPageLRU() spin_unlock(lruvec->lock) /* idletacking judged it as LRU * page so pass the page in * page_idle_clear_pte_refs */ page_idle_clear_pte_refs rmap_walk if PageAnon(page) Johannes give detailed examples how the store reordering could cause trouble: "The concern is the SetPageLRU may get reorder before 'page->mapping' setting, That would make CPU 1 will observe at page->mapping after observing PageLRU set on the page. 1. anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON That's the in-order scenario and is fine. 2. NULL That's possible if the page->mapping store gets reordered to occur after SetPageLRU. That's fine too because we check for it. 3. anon_vma without the PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit That would be a problem and could lead to all kinds of undesirable behavior including crashes and data corruption. Is it possible? AFAICT the compiler is allowed to tear the store to page->mapping and I don't see anything that would prevent it. That said, I also don't see how the reader testing PageLRU under the lru_lock would prevent that in the first place. AFAICT we need that WRITE_ONCE() around the page->mapping assignment."

lru_lock and page cache xa_lock have no obvious reason to be taken one way round or the other: until now, lru_lock has been taken before page cache xa_lock, when splitting a THP; but nothing else takes them together. Reverse that ordering: let's narrow the lru locking - but leave local_irq_disable to block interrupts throughout, like before. Hugh Dickins point: split_huge_page_to_list() was already silly, to be using the _irqsave variant: it's just been taking sleeping locks, so would already be broken if entered with interrupts enabled. So we can save passing flags argument down to __split_huge_page(). Why change the lock ordering here? That was hard to decide. One reason: when this series reaches per-memcg lru locking, it relies on the THP's memcg to be stable when taking the lru_lock: that is now done after the THP's refcount has been frozen, which ensures page memcg cannot change. Another reason: previously, lock_page_memcg()'s move_lock was presumed to nest inside lru_lock; but now lru_lock must nest inside (page cache lock inside) move_lock, so it becomes possible to use lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page memcg before taking its lru_lock. That is not the mechanism used in this series, but it is an option we want to keep open.

Simplify lru_add_page_tail(), there are actually only two cases possible: split_huge_page_to_list(), with list supplied and head isolated from lru by its caller; or split_huge_page(), with NULL list and head on lru - because when head is racily isolated from lru, the isolator's reference will stop the split from getting any further than its page_ref_freeze(). So decide between the two cases by "list", but add VM_WARN_ON()s to verify that they match our lru expectations.

Patch series "per memcg lru lock", v21. This patchset includes 3 parts: 1) some code cleanup and minimum optimization as preparation 2) use TestCleanPageLRU as page isolation's precondition 3) replace per node lru_lock with per memcg per node lru_lock Current lru_lock is one for each of node, pgdat->lru_lock, that guard for lru lists, but now we had moved the lru lists into memcg for long time. Still using per node lru_lock is clearly unscalable, pages on each of memcgs have to compete each others for a whole lru_lock. This patchset try to use per lruvec/memcg lru_lock to repleace per node lru lock to guard lru lists, make it scalable for memcgs and get performance gain. Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's ok. but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking. Just taking lruvec lock first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration. To fix this problem, we could take out the page's lru bit clear and use it as pin down action to block the memcg changes. That's the reason for new atomic func TestClearPageLRU. So now isolating a page need both actions: TestClearPageLRU and hold the lru_lock. The typical usage of this is isolate_migratepages_block() in compaction.c we have to take lru bit before lru lock, that serialized the page isolation in memcg page charge/migration which will change page's lruvec and new lru_lock in it. The above solution suggested by Johannes Weiner, and based on his new memcg charge path, then have this patchset. (Hugh Dickins tested and contributed much code from compaction fix to general code polish, thanks a lot!). Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box on v18, which has no much different with this v20. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915165807.kpp7uhiw7l3loofu@ca-dmjordan1.us.oracle.com/ Thanks to Hugh Dickins and Konstantin Khlebnikov, they both brought this idea 8 years ago, and others who gave comments as well: Daniel Jordan, Mel Gorman, Shakeel Butt, Matthew Wilcox, Alexander Duyck etc. Thanks for Testing support from Intel 0day and Rong Chen, Fengguang Wu, and Yun Wang. Hugh Dickins also shared his kbuild-swap case. This patch (of 19): lru_add_page_tail() is only used in huge_memory.c, defining it in other file with a CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE macro restrict just looks weird. Let's move it THP. And make it static as Hugh Dickins suggested.

Kernel-doc markups should use this format: identifier - description Fix some issues on mm files: 1) The definition for get_user_pages_locked() doesn't follow it. Also, it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one, after the parameters. Fix it. 2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it. So, move get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place. 3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected kernel-doc format.

From the beginning, the zram block device always enabled CRYPTO_LZO, since lzo-rle is hardcoded as the fallback compression algorithm. As a consequence, on systems where another compression algorithm is chosen (e.g. CRYPTO_ZSTD), the lzo kernel module becomes unused, while still having to be built/loaded. This patch removes the hardcoded lzo-rle dependency and allows the user to select the default compression algorithm for zram at build time. The previous behaviour is kept, as the default algorithm is still lzo-rle. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201207121245.50529-1-rsalvaterra@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Right now, all new ZIP drivers are adapted to crypto_acomp APIs rather than legacy crypto_comp APIs. Tradiontal ZIP drivers like lz4,lzo etc have been also wrapped into acomp via scomp backend. But zswap.c is still using the old APIs. That means zswap won't be able to work on any new ZIP drivers in kernel. This patch moves to use cryto_acomp APIs to fix the disconnected bridge between new ZIP drivers and zswap. It is probably the first real user to use acomp but perhaps not a good example to demonstrate how multiple acomp requests can be executed in parallel in one acomp instance. frontswap is doing page load and store page by page synchronously. swap_writepage() depends on the completion of frontswap_store() to decide if it should call __swap_writepage() to swap to disk. However this patch creates multiple acomp instances, so multiple threads running on multiple different cpus can actually do (de)compression parallelly, leveraging the power of multiple ZIP hardware queues. This is also consistent with frontswap's page management model. The old zswap code uses atomic context and avoids the race conditions while shared resources like zswap_dstmem are accessed. Here since acomp can sleep, per-cpu mutex is used to replace preemption-disable. While it is possible to make mm/page_io.c and mm/frontswap.c support async (de)compression in some way, the entire design requires careful thinking and performance evaluation. For the first step, the base with fixed connection between ZIP drivers and zswap should be built. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201107065332.26992-1-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.comSigned-off-by:

On certain platforms (powerpcle is the one on which I ran into this), "%Ld" and "%Lu" are unsuitable for printing __s64 and __u64, respectively, resulting in build warnings. Cast to {u,}int64_t, and use the PRI{d,u}64 macros defined in inttypes.h to print them. This ought to be portable to all platforms. Splitting this off into a separate macro lets us remove some lines, and get rid of some (I would argue) stylistically odd cases where we joined printf() and exit() into a single statement with a ,. Finally, this also fixes a "missing braces around initializer" warning when we initialize prms in wp_range().

With this change, when the knob is set to 0, it allows unprivileged users to call userfaultfd, like when it is set to 1, but with the restriction that page faults from only user-mode can be handled. In this mode, an unprivileged user (without SYS_CAP_PTRACE capability) must pass UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY to userfaultd or the API will fail with EPERM. This enables administrators to reduce the likelihood that an attacker with access to userfaultfd can delay faulting kernel code to widen timing windows for other exploits. The default value of this knob is changed to 0. This is required for correct functioning of pipe mutex. However, this will fail postcopy live migration, which will be unnoticeable to the VM guests. To avoid this, set 'vm.userfault = 1' in /sys/sysctl.conf. The main reason this change is desirable as in the short term is that the Android userland will behave as with the sysctl set to zero. So without this commit, any Linux binary using userfaultfd to manage its memory would behave differently if run within the Android userland. For more details, refer to Andrea's reply [1].

Patch series "Control over userfaultfd kernel-fault handling", v6. This patch series is split from [1]. The other series enables SELinux support for userfaultfd file descriptors so that its creation and movement can be controlled. It has been demonstrated on various occasions that suspending kernel code execution for an arbitrary amount of time at any access to userspace memory (copy_from_user()/copy_to_user()/...) can be exploited to change the intended behavior of the kernel. For instance, handling page faults in kernel-mode using userfaultfd has been exploited in [2, 3]. Likewise, FUSE, which is similar to userfaultfd in this respect, has been exploited in [4, 5] for similar outcome. This small patch series adds a new flag to userfaultfd(2) that allows callers to give up the ability to handle kernel-mode faults with the resulting UFFD file object. It then adds a 'user-mode only' option to the unprivileged_userfaultfd sysctl knob to require unprivileged callers to use this new flag. The purpose of this new interface is to decrease the chance of an unprivileged userfaultfd user taking advantage of userfaultfd to enhance security vulnerabilities by lengthening the race window in kernel code.

Add a new UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY flag for userfaultfd(2) that makes the resulting userfaultfd object refuse to handle faults from kernel mode, treating these faults as if SIGBUS were always raised, causing the kernel code to fail with EFAULT. A future patch adds a knob allowing administrators to give some processes the ability to create userfaultfd file objects only if they pass UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY, reducing the likelihood that these processes will exploit userfaultfd's ability to delay kernel page faults to open timing windows for future exploits.

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was introduced by commit 1414c7f4 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the contents on free without checking it back on alloc. These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc). Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201113104033.22907-6-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY skips the check on page alloc whether the poison pattern was corrupted, suggesting a use-after-free. The motivation to introduce it in commit 8823b1db ("mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option") was to simply sanitize freed pages, optimally together with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO. These days we have an init_on_free=1 boot option, which makes this use case of page poisoning redundant. For sanitizing, writing zeroes is sufficient, there is pretty much no benefit from writing the 0xAA poison pattern to freed pages, without checking it back on alloc. Thus, remove this option and suggest init_on_free instead in the main config's help. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201113104033.22907-5-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Page poisoning used to be incompatible with hibernation, as the state of poisoned pages was lost after resume, thus enabling CONFIG_HIBERNATION forces CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY. For the same reason, the poisoning with zeroes variant CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO used to disable hibernation. The latter restriction was removed by commit 1ad1410f ("PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO") and similarly for init_on_free by commit 18451f9f ("PM: hibernate: fix crashes with init_on_free=1") by making sure free pages are cleared after resume. We can use the same mechanism to instead poison free pages with PAGE_POISON after resume. This covers both zero and 0xAA patterns. Thus we can remove the Kconfig restriction that disables page poison sanity checking when hibernation is enabled. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201113104033.22907-4-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Commit 11c9c7ed ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled. Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined. The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers. Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter. Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single static key instead of having two static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().

Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3. I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends: - interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on the order of parameters (Patch 1) - the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2) - sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 4) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 5) This patch (of 5): Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1 produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However, as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent. We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early params have been processed. Introduce a new init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related debug_pagealloc processing there as well. As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results in a simpler and more effective code.

It is required to print 'count' of pages, along with the pages, passed to cma_release to debug the cases of mismatched count value passed between cma_alloc() and cma_release() from a code path. As an example, consider the below scenario: 1) CMA pool size is 4MB and 2) User doing the erroneous step of allocating 2 pages but freeing 1 page in a loop from this CMA pool. The step 2 causes cma_alloc() to return NULL at one point of time because of -ENOMEM condition. And the current pr_debug logs is not giving the info about these types of allocation patterns because of count value not being printed in cma_release(). We are printing the count value in the trace logs, just extend the same to pr_debug logs too.

The cma_mutex which protects alloc_contig_range() was first appeared in commit 7ee793a6 ("cma: Remove potential deadlock situation"), at that time, there is no guarantee the behavior of concurrency inside alloc_contig_range(). After commit 2c7452a0 ("mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated") > However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic > huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If > this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing. > This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as > MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation. The concurrency inside alloc_contig_range() was clarified. Now we can find that hugepage and virtio call alloc_contig_range() without any lock, thus cma_mutex is "redundant" in cma_alloc() now.

In the current implementation unmap_and_move() would return -ENOMEM if THP migration is unsupported, then the THP will be split. If split is failed just exit without trying to migrate other pages. It doesn't make too much sense since there may be enough free memory to migrate other pages and there may be a lot base pages on the list. Return -ENOSYS to make consistent with hugetlb. And if THP split is failed just skip and try other pages on the list. Just skip the whole list and exit when free memory is really low.

The NUMA balancing skip shared exec base page. Since CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was introduced, there are probably shared exec THP, so skip such THPs for NUMA balancing as well. And Willy's regular filesystem THP support patches could create shared exec THP wven without that config. In addition, the page_is_file_lru() is used to tell if the page is file cache or not, but it filters out shmem page. It sounds like a typical usecase by putting executables in shmem to achieve performance gain via using shmem-THP, so it sounds worth skipping migration for such case too.
