Test the mmap() flag, and the mlockall() flag. These tests ensure that pages are not faulted in until they are accessed, that the pages are unevictable once faulted in, and that VMA splitting and merging works with the new VM flag. The second test ensures that mlock limits are respected. Note that the limit test needs to be run a normal user. Also add tests to use the new mlock2 family of system calls.

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via the new mlock system calls. We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall. MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED. MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags. When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT in either mlockall() invocation. munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall() unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags field.

The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used this can incur a high penalty for locking. For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc). This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in. Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set. Signed-off-by:

mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated. For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they are not faulted in by the mlock call. This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way, or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall(). There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every time such a buffer is created. The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed. This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing. For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep the accounting checks out of the page fault path. To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a 5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across the 20 runs in milliseconds. mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range: Setup avg: 8228.666 Processing avg: 8274.257 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access: Setup avg: 0.113 Processing avg: 90993.552 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page: With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get: Setup avg: 0.058 Processing avg: 69488.073 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages: Setup avg: 0.068 Processing avg: 38204.116 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages: Setup avg: 0.044 Processing avg: 29671.180 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range: Setup avg: 0.189 Processing avg: 17904.899 The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far beyond the end of the mapping. These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once, otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster. The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I have tested (stream and kernbench). The following are the average values across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose results were discarded.

A later patch in this set will extend mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags. Signed-off-by: -

Currently we already taint the kernel in some cases. E.g. if we hit some bug in slub memory we call object_err() which will taint the kernel with TAINT_BAD_PAGE flag. But for other kind of bugs kernel left untainted. Always taint with TAINT_BAD_PAGE if kasan found some bug. This is useful for automated testing. Signed-off-by:

It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN, because: a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves detecting out-of-bounds accesses. b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves detecting out-of-bounds accesses. c) User tracking provides additional information about object. This information helps to understand bugs. Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline, which is not very handy. Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good reason to not do this. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: little fixes, per David] Signed-off-by: -

Each access with address lower than kasan_shadow_to_mem(KASAN_SHADOW_START) is reported as user-memory-access. This is not always true, the accessed address might not be in user space. Fix this by reporting such accesses as null-ptr-derefs or wild-memory-accesses. There's another reason for this change. For userspace ASan we have a bunch of systems that analyze error types for the purpose of classification and deduplication. Sooner of later we will write them to KASAN as well. Then clearly and explicitly stated error types will bring value. Signed-off-by:

There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of /proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it back there. Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed). The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text; which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2f ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo benchmark. creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr() tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0". I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree. At first I thought that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none. This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the lesser speedup. And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3 commit 44a30220 ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.

Commit 424cdc14 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a regression introduced by 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units rather than bytes when interpreting the user input. The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings during stable backport review. The page count is converted to bytes but unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds. The same applies to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow. Let's remove this bytes vs. pages internal tracking differences and handle thresholds in page units internally. Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to return the value in page units and revert 424cdc14 because this should be sufficient for the consistent handling. mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is converted to give the proper in bytes result. It is doing that already for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well. The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

My recent patch "mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available" added some bloat to hugetlb.o. This patch aims to get some of the bloat back, especially when NUMA is not in play. It does this with an implicit #ifdef and marking some things static that should have been static in my first patch. It also makes the warnings only VM_WARN_ON()s. They were responsible for a pretty big chunk of the bloat. Doing this gets our NUMA=n text size back to a wee bit _below_ where we started before the original patch. It also shaves a bit of space off the NUMA=y case, but not much. Enforcing the mempolicy definitely takes some text and it's hard to avoid. size(1) output: text data bss dec hex filename 30745 3433 2492 36670 8f3e hugetlb.o.nonuma.baseline 31305 3755 2492 37552 92b0 hugetlb.o.nonuma.patch1 30713 3433 2492 36638 8f1e hugetlb.o.nonuma.patch2 (this patch) 25235 473 41276 66984 105a8 hugetlb.o.numa.baseline 25715 475 41276 67466 1078a hugetlb.o.numa.patch1 25491 473 41276 67240 106a8 hugetlb.o.numa.patch2 (this patch) Signed-off-by:

I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages with 'nr_hugepages'. They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time. This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they specified. The code in question is this: > struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, ... > page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg); > if (!page) { > page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE); dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy. But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool. If the pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the VMA. Almost everybody preallocates huge pages. That's probably why nobody has ever noticed this. Looking back at the git history, I don't think this _ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in 7893d1d5, 8 years ago. The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call in to the buddy allocator. It's fairly straightforward plumbing. This has been lightly tested. Signed-off-by: -

There are no users of the node_hstates array outside of the mm/hugetlb.c. So let's make it static. Signed-off-by:

As far as I can tell, strncpy_from_unsafe never returns -EFAULT. ret is the result of a __copy_from_user_inatomic(), which is 0 for success and positive (in this case necessarily 1) for access error - it is never negative. So we were always returning the length of the, possibly truncated, destination string. Signed-off-by:

clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty() which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too. No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag, and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another. It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway). Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even bother if the zone is the same. Do the PageDirty movement there under tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible: bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe). But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping(). Signed-off-by:

We have had trouble in the past from the way in which page migration's newpage is initialized in dribs and drabs - see commit 8bdd6380 ("mm: fix direct reclaim writeback regression") which proposed a cleanup. We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer (and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used - except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move(). So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths. Similarly migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping. Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Hitherto page migration has avoided using a migration entry for a swapcache page mapped into userspace, apparently for historical reasons. So any page blessed with swapcache would entail a minor fault when it's next touched, which page migration otherwise tries to avoid. Swapcache in an mlocked area is rare, so won't often matter, but still better fixed. Just rearrange the block in try_to_unmap_one(), to handle TTU_MIGRATION before checking PageAnon, that's all (apart from some reindenting). Well, no, that's not quite all: doesn't this by the way fix a soft_dirty bug, that page migration of a file page was forgetting to transfer the soft_dirty bit? Probably not a serious bug: if I understand correctly, soft_dirty afficionados usually have to handle file pages separately anyway; but we publish the bit in /proc/<pid>/pagemap on file mappings as well as anonymous, so page migration ought not to perturb it.

__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma() and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow. Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one. Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials. I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique, which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration entries. Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of migration entry ptes like everything else? So lose that comment now, and enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.
