Currently the initial value of order in dissolve_free_huge_page is 64 or 32, which leads to the following warning in static checker: mm/hugetlb.c:1203 dissolve_free_huge_pages() warn: potential right shift more than type allows '9,18,64' This is a potential risk of infinite loop, because 1 << order (== 0) is used in for-loop like this: for (pfn =3D start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn +=3D 1 << order) ...

As noted by Paul the compiler is free to store a temporary result in a variable on stack, heap or global unless it is explicitly marked as volatile, see: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4455.html#sample-optimizations This can result in a race between do_wp_page() and shrink_active_list() as follows. In do_wp_page() we can call page_move_anon_rmap(), which sets page->mapping as follows: anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON; page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma; The page in question may be on an LRU list, because nowhere in do_wp_page() we remove it from the list, neither do we take any LRU related locks. Although the page is locked, shrink_active_list() can still call page_referenced() on it concurrently, because the latter does not require an anonymous page to be locked: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- do_wp_page shrink_active_list lock_page page_referenced PageAnon->yes, so skip trylock_page page_move_anon_rmap page->mapping = anon_vma rmap_walk PageAnon->no rmap_walk_file BUG page->mapping += PAGE_MAPPING_ANON This patch fixes this race by explicitly forbidding the compiler to split page->mapping store in page_move_anon_rmap() with the aid of WRITE_ONCE.

memory_failure() is supposed not to handle thp itself, but to split it. But if something were wrong and page_action() were called on thp, me_huge_page() (action routine for hugepages) should be better to take no action, rather than to take wrong action prepared for hugetlb (which triggers BUG_ON().) This change is for potential problems, but makes sense to me because thp is an actively developing feature and this code path can be open in the future. Signed-off-by:

But there is a race condition where a source page looks isolated (i.e. the refcount is 0 and the PageHWPoison is set) but somewhat linked to pcplist. Then another soft offline event calls drain_all_pages() and tries to free such hwpoisoned page, which is forbidden. This odd page state seems to happen due to the race between put_page() in putback_lru_page() and __pagevec_lru_add_fn(). But I don't want to play with tweaking drain code as done in commit 9ab3b598 "mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()", or to change page freeing code for this soft offline's purpose. Instead, let's think about the difference between hard offline and soft offline. There is an interesting difference in how to isolate the in-use page between these, that is, hard offline marks PageHWPoison of the target page at first, and doesn't free it by keeping its refcount 1. OTOH, soft offline tries to free the target page then marks PageHWPoison. This difference might be the source of complexity and result in bugs like the above. So making soft offline isolate with keeping refcount can be a solution for this problem. We can pass to page migration code the "reason" which shows the caller, so let's use this more to avoid calling putback_lru_page() when called from soft offline, which effectively does the isolation for soft offline. With this change, target pages of soft offline never be reused without changing migratetype, so this patch also removes the related code. Signed-off-by: -

memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective. When MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared, memory_failure() takes it in it's own. In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller. For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages. Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page(). To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page() to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison code. memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns without completing page isolation. This is not good because PageHWPoison on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps. So this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp" case and "thp split failed" case, expecting an MCE(SRAR) generated by later access afterward will properly free such thps.

memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split it before doing isolation. Currently thp is split in the middle of hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure() wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting. 1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp, but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized. In such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate(). 2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with SWAP_SUCCESS and the result is the same as case 1. memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier, which also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and thp.

The name SWAP implies that we are dealing with anonymous pages only. In fact, the original patch that introduced the min_unmapped_ratio logic was to fix an issue related to file pages. Rename it to RECLAIM_UNMAP to match what does. Historically, commit a6dc60f8 ("vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap") renamed .may_swap to .may_unmap, leaving RECLAIM_SWAP behind. commit 2e2e4259 ("vmscan,memcg: reintroduce sc->may_swap") reintroduced .may_swap for memory controller.

Based upon 675becce ("mm: vmscan: do not throttle based on pfmemalloc reserves if node has no ZONE_NORMAL") from Mel. We have a system with the following topology: # numactl -H available: 3 nodes (0,2-3) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 node 0 size: 28273 MB node 0 free: 27323 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 16384 MB node 2 free: 0 MB node 3 cpus: 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 node 3 size: 30533 MB node 3 free: 13273 MB node distances: node 0 2 3 0: 10 20 20 2: 20 10 20 3: 20 20 10 Node 2 has no free memory, because: # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB/nr_hugepages 1 This leads to the following zoneinfo: Node 2, zone DMA pages free 0 min 1840 low 2300 high 2760 scanned 0 spanned 262144 present 262144 managed 262144 ... all_unreclaimable: 1 If one then attempts to allocate some normal 16M hugepages via echo 37 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages The echo never returns and kswapd2 consumes CPU cycles. This is because throttle_direct_reclaim ends up calling wait_event(pfmemalloc_wait, pfmemalloc_watermark_ok...). pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() in turn checks all zones on the node if there are any reserves, and if so, then indicates the watermarks are ok, by seeing if there are sufficient free pages. 675becce added a condition already for memoryless nodes. In this case, though, the node has memory, it is just all consumed (and not reclaimable). Effectively, though, the result is the same on this call to pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() and thus seems like a reasonable additional condition. With this change, the afore-mentioned 16M hugepage allocation attempt succeeds and correctly round-robins between Nodes 1 and 3. Signed-off-by:

Reintroduce 8d63d99a ("mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages") after removing bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in put_unrefcounted_compound_page(). THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time. Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and it's harmful because of overhead. We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using __compound_tail_refcounted() check. It excludes most common non-THP compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP users -- drivers. And it's not only about overhead. Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace. But tail page refcounting breaks it. Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on them. It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages. It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages. But unlike THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes page_mapcount() be called for tail pages. In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for such pages. But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or other serious misbehaviour. Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not, we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon() to enable tail page refcounting. Signed-off-by:

My commit 8d63d99a ("mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages") which was merged during 4.1 merge window caused regression: page:ffffea0010a15040 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x8000000000008014(referenced|dirty|tail) page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapcount(page) != 0) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/swap.c:134! The problem can be reproduced by playing *two* audio files at the same time and then stopping one of players. I used two mplayers to trigger this. The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() which triggers the bug is bogus: Sound subsystem uses compound pages for its buffers, but unlike most __GFP_COMP sound maps compound pages to userspace with PTEs. In our case with two players map the buffer twice and therefore elevates page_mapcount() on tail pages by two. When one of players exits it unmaps the VMA and drops page_mapcount() to one and try to release reference on the page with put_page(). My commit changes which path it takes under put_compound_page(). It hits put_unrefcounted_compound_page() where VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is. It sees page_mapcount() == 1. The function wrongly assumes that subpages of compound page cannot be be mapped by itself with PTEs.. The solution is simply drop the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(). Note: there's no need to move the check under put_page_testzero(). Allocator will check the mapcount by itself before putting on free list.

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time. However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the vDSO sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable. This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still hold. The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the powerpc architecture. This patch (of 3): This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks: - per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h) - a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h) The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do. The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the case the architecture is not defining it. In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should be moved here. Signed-off-by:

khugepaged_do_scan() checks in every iteration whether freezing(current) is true, and in such case breaks out of the loop, which causes try_to_freeze() to be called immediately afterwards in khugepaged_wait_work(). If nothing else, this causes unnecessary freezing(current) test, and also makes the way khugepaged enters freezer a bit less obvious than necessary.

This patch moves the initialization of the size_index table slightly earlier so that the first few kmem_cache_node's can be safely allocated when KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is large. There are currently two ways to generate indices into kmalloc_caches (via kmalloc_index() and via the size_index table in slab_common.c) and on some arches (possibly only MIPS) they potentially disagree with each other until create_kmalloc_caches() has been called. It seems that the intention is that the size_index table is a fast equivalent to kmalloc_index() and that create_kmalloc_caches() patches the table to return the correct value for the cases where kmalloc_index()'s if-statements apply. The failing sequence was: * kmalloc_caches contains NULL elements * kmem_cache_init initialises the element that 'struct kmem_cache_node' will be allocated to. For 32-bit Mips, this is a 56-byte struct and kmalloc_index returns KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW (7). * init_list is called which calls kmalloc_node to allocate a 'struct kmem_cache_node'. * kmalloc_slab selects the kmem_caches element using size_index[size_index_elem(size)]. For MIPS, size is 56, and the expression returns 6. * This element of kmalloc_caches is NULL and allocation fails. * If it had not already failed, it would have called create_kmalloc_caches() at this point which would have changed size_index[size_index_elem(size)] to 7. I don't believe the bug to be LLVM specific but GCC doesn't normally encounter the problem. I haven't been able to identify exactly what GCC is doing better (probably inlining) but it seems that GCC is managing to optimize to the point that it eliminates the problematic allocations. This theory is supported by the fact that GCC can be made to fail in the same way by changing inline, __inline, __inline__, and __always_inline in include/linux/compiler-gcc.h such that they don't actually inline things.

The name is NULL in the create_kmalloc_cache() so the kmem_cache_flags() would not set the slub_debug flags to the s->flags.

Allowing watchdog threads to be parked means that we now have the opportunity of actually seeing persistent parked threads in the output of /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status. The existing code reported such threads as "Running", which is kind-of true if you think of the case where we park them as part of taking cpus offline. But if we allow parking them indefinitely, "Running" is pretty misleading, so we report them as "Sleeping" instead. We could simply report them with a new string, "Parked", but it feels like it's a bit risky for userspace to see unexpected new values; the output is already documented in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt, and it seems like a mistake to change that lightly. The scheduler does report parked tasks with a "P" in debugging output from sched_show_task() or dump_cpu_task(), but that's a different API. Similarly, the trace_ctxwake_* routines report a "P" for parked tasks, but again, different API. This change seemed slightly cleaner than updating the task_state_array to have additional rows. TASK_DEAD should be subsumed by the exit_state bits; TASK_WAKEKILL is just a modifier; and TASK_WAKING can very reasonably be reported as "Running" (as it is now). Only TASK_PARKED shows up with unreasonable output here. Signed-off-by:

Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores. See Documentation/lockup-watchdogs.txt for more information. [jhubbard@nvidia.com: fix a watchdog crash in some configurations] Signed-off-by:

This patch series allows the watchdog to run by default only on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is in effect; this seems to be a good compromise short of turning it off completely (since the nohz_full cores can't tolerate a watchdog). To provide customizability, we add /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_cpumask so that the set of cores running the watchdog can be tuned to different values after bootup. To implement this customizability, we add a new smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() API to the smpboot_thread subsystem that lets us park or unpark "unwanted" threads. And now that threads can be parked for long periods of time, we tweak the /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status code so parked threads aren't reported as running, which is otherwise confusing. This patch (of 3): This change allows some cores to be excluded from running the smp_hotplug_thread tasks. The following commit to update kernel/watchdog.c to use this functionality is the motivating example, and more information on the motivation is provided there. A new smp_hotplug_thread field is introduced, "cpumask", which is cpumask field managed by the smpboot subsystem that indicates whether or not the given smp_hotplug_thread should run on that core; the cpumask is checked when deciding whether to unpark the thread. To limit the cpumask to less than cpu_possible, you must call smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() after registering. Signed-off-by:

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg() macro which consists of sg_next() function calls. Since sparc does select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is necessary to use for_each_sg() in order to loop over each sg element. This also help find problems with drivers that do not properly initialize their sg tables when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled. Signed-off-by:

ocfs2_abort_trigger() use bh->b_assoc_map to get sb. But there's no function to set bh->b_assoc_map in ocfs2, it will trigger NULL pointer dereference while calling this function. We can get sb from bh->b_bdev->bd_super instead of b_assoc_map. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: update comment, per Joseph] Signed-off-by:

In ocfs2 direct read/write, OCFS2_IOCB_SEM lock type is used to protect inode->i_alloc_sem rw semaphore lock in the earlier kernel version. However, in the latest kernel, inode->i_alloc_sem rw semaphore lock is not used at all, so OCFS2_IOCB_SEM lock type needs to be removed. Signed-off-by:
