      thp: close race between split and zap huge pages · b5a8cad3
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored 
      Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2].  I believe both of them
have the same root cause.  Let's look to them one by one.

The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!".  It's
BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page().  From my
testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here.

I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and
page_check_address_pmd().  page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is
under zap:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  /*
	   * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no
	   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD,
	   * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page().
	   */
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0

  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!!

						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)

The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!".
It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd().

This happens in similar way:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0	/* The same comment as above */
  /*
   * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in
   * zap_huge_pmd().
   */
  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page))

  /*
   * We split the compound page here into small pages without
   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd()
   */
  __split_huge_page_refcount()
						VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!!

So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd()
without taking page table lock.

The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791. Sorry for
that. :(

Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the
check under page table lock.

Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires
if sync != 0.

I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and
don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to
trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore
first).

      mm: use paravirt friendly ops for NUMA hinting ptes · 29c77870
      Mel Gorman authored 
      David Vrabel identified a regression when using automatic NUMA balancing
under Xen whereby page table entries were getting corrupted due to the
use of native PTE operations.  Quoting him

	Xen PV guest page tables require that their entries use machine
	addresses if the preset bit (_PAGE_PRESENT) is set, and (for
	successful migration) non-present PTEs must use pseudo-physical
	addresses.  This is because on migration MFNs in present PTEs are
	translated to PFNs (canonicalised) so they may be translated back
	to the new MFN in the destination domain (uncanonicalised).

	pte_mknonnuma(), pmd_mknonnuma(), pte_mknuma() and pmd_mknuma()
	set and clear the _PAGE_PRESENT bit using pte_set_flags(),
	pte_clear_flags(), etc.

	In a Xen PV guest, these functions must translate MFNs to PFNs
	when clearing _PAGE_PRESENT and translate PFNs to MFNs when setting
	_PAGE_PRESENT.

His suggested fix converted p[te|md]_[set|clear]_flags to using
paravirt-friendly ops but this is overkill.  He suggested an alternative
of using p[te|md]_modify in the NUMA page table operations but this is
does more work than necessary and would require looking up a VMA for
protections.

This patch modifies the NUMA page table operations to use paravirt
friendly operations to set/clear the flags of interest.  Unfortunately
this will take a performance hit when updating the PTEs on
CONFIG_PARAVIRT but I do not see a way around it that does not break
Xen.
