Currently a cma area is barely used by the page allocator because it's used only as a fallback from movable, however kswapd tries hard to make sure that the fallback path isn't used. This results in a system evicting memory and pushing data into swap, while lots of CMA memory is still available. This happens despite the fact that alloc_contig_range is perfectly capable of moving any movable allocations out of the way of an allocation. To effectively use the cma area let's alter the rules: if the zone has more free cma pages than the half of total free pages in the zone, use cma pageblocks first and fallback to movable blocks in the case of failure.

find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() calls find_min_pfn_for_node() with nid parameter set to MAX_NUMNODES. This makes the find_min_pfn_for_node() traverse all memblock memory regions although the first PFN in the system can be easily found with memblock_start_of_DRAM(). Use memblock_start_of_DRAM() in find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() and drop now unused find_min_pfn_for_node(). Signed-off-by:

free_area_init_node() now always uses memblock info and the zone PFN limits so it does not need the backwards compatibility functions to calculate the zone spanned and absent pages. The removal of the compat_ versions of zone_{abscent,spanned}_pages_in_node() in turn, makes zone_size and zhole_size parameters unused. The node_start_pfn is determined by get_pfn_range_for_nid(), so there is no need to pass it to free_area_init_node(). As a result, the only required parameter to free_area_init_node() is the node ID, all the rest are removed along with no longer used compat_zone_{abscent,spanned}_pages_in_node() helpers.

Some architectures (e.g. ARC) have the ZONE_HIGHMEM zone below the ZONE_NORMAL. Allowing free_area_init() parse max_zone_pfn array even it is sorted in descending order allows using free_area_init() on such architectures. Add top -> down traversal of max_zone_pfn array in free_area_init() and use the latter in ARC node/zone initialization.

The memmap_init() function was made to iterate over memblock regions and as the result the early_pfn_in_nid() function became obsolete. Since CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES is only used to pick a stub or a real implementation of early_pfn_in_nid(), it is also not needed anymore. Remove both early_pfn_in_nid() and the CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES. Co-developed-by:

When called during boot the memmap_init_zone() function checks if each PFN is valid and actually belongs to the node being initialized using early_pfn_valid() and early_pfn_in_nid(). Each such check may cost up to O(log(n)) where n is the number of memory banks, so for large amount of memory overall time spent in early_pfn*() becomes substantial. Since the information is anyway present in memblock, we can iterate over memblock memory regions in memmap_init() and only call memmap_init_zone() for PFN ranges that are know to be valid and in the appropriate node.

Currently, architectures that use free_area_init() to initialize memory map and node and zone structures need to calculate zone and hole sizes. We can use free_area_init_nodes() instead and let it detect the zone boundaries while the architectures will only have to supply the possible limits for the zones. Signed-off-by:

CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node mapping in memblock and those that don't. Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and therefore the compile time configuration option is not required. The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes. Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the entire compatibility layer can be dropped. To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

Patch series "mm: rework free_area_init*() funcitons". After the discussion [1] about removal of CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES and CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP options, I took it a bit further and updated the node/zone initialization. Since all architectures have memblock, it is possible to use only the newer version of free_area_init_node() that calculates the zone and node boundaries based on memblock node mapping and architectural limits on possible zone PFNs. The architectures that still determined zone and hole sizes can be switched to the generic code and the old code that took those zone and hole sizes can be simply removed. And, since it all started from the removal of CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES, the memmap_init() is now updated to iterate over memblocks and so it does not need to perform early_pfn_to_nid() query for every PFN. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1585420282-25630-1-git-send-email-Hoan@os.amperecomputing.com This patch (of 21): There are several places in the code that directly dereference memblock_region.nid despite this field being defined only when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=y. Replace these with calls to memblock_get_region_nid() to improve code robustness and to avoid possible breakage when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP will be removed. Signed-off-by:

It seems that the existing documentation is not explicit about the expected usage and potential risks enough. While it is calls out that users have to free memory when using this flag it is not really apparent that users have to careful to not deplete memory reserves and that they should implement some sort of throttling wrt. freeing process. This is partly based on Neil's explanation [1]. Let's also call out that a pre allocated pool allocator should be considered.

The memcmp KASAN self-test fails on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE. When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands. However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they have performed the fortify check. Using __builtins may bypass KASAN checks if the compiler decides to inline it's own implementation as sequence of instructions, rather than emit a function call that goes out to a KASAN-instrumented implementation. Why is only memcmp affected? ============================ Of the string and string-like functions that kasan_test tests, only memcmp is replaced by an inline sequence of instructions in my testing on x86 with gcc version 9.2.1 20191008 (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2). I believe this is due to compiler heuristics. For example, if I annotate kmalloc calls with the alloc_size annotation (and disable some fortify compile-time checking!), the compiler will replace every memset except the one in kmalloc_uaf_memset with inline instructions. (I have some WIP patches to add this annotation.) Does this affect other functions in string.h? ============================================= Yes. Anything that uses __builtin_* rather than __real_* could be affected. This looks like: - strncpy - strcat - strlen - strlcpy maybe, under some circumstances? - strncat under some circumstances - memset - memcpy - memmove - memcmp (as noted) - memchr - strcpy Whether a function call is emitted always depends on the compiler. Most bugs should get caught by FORTIFY_SOURCE, but the missed memcmp test shows that this is not always the case. Isn't FORTIFY_SOURCE disabled with KASAN? ========================================- The string headers on all arches supporting KASAN disable fortify with kasan, but only when address sanitisation is _also_ disabled. For example from x86: #if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__) /* * For files that are not instrumented (e.g. mm/slub.c) we * should use not instrumented version of mem* functions. */ #define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len) #define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len) #define memset(s, c, n) __memset(s, c, n) #ifndef __NO_FORTIFY #define __NO_FORTIFY /* FORTIFY_SOURCE uses __builtin_memcpy, etc. */ #endif #endif This comes from commit 6974f0c4 ("include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions"), and doesn't work when KASAN is enabled and the file is supposed to be sanitised - as with test_kasan.c I'm pretty sure this is not wrong, but not as expansive it should be: * we shouldn't use __builtin_memcpy etc in files where we don't have instrumentation - it could devolve into a function call to memcpy, which will be instrumented. Rather, we should use __memcpy which by convention is not instrumented. * we also shouldn't be using __builtin_memcpy when we have a KASAN instrumented file, because it could be replaced with inline asm that will not be instrumented. What is correct behaviour? ========================== Firstly, there is some overlap between fortification and KASAN: both provide some level of _runtime_ checking. Only fortify provides compile-time checking. KASAN and fortify can pick up different things at runtime: - Some fortify functions, notably the string functions, could easily be modified to consider sub-object sizes (e.g. members within a struct), and I have some WIP patches to do this. KASAN cannot detect these because it cannot insert poision between members of a struct. - KASAN can detect many over-reads/over-writes when the sizes of both operands are unknown, which fortify cannot. So there are a couple of options: 1) Flip the test: disable fortify in santised files and enable it in unsanitised files. This at least stops us missing KASAN checking, but we lose the fortify checking. 2) Make the fortify code always call out to real versions. Do this only for KASAN, for fear of losing the inlining opportunities we get from __builtin_*. (We can't use kasan_check_{read,write}: because the fortify functions are _extern inline_, you can't include _static_ inline functions without a compiler warning. kasan_check_{read,write} are static inline so we can't use them even when they would otherwise be suitable.) Take approach 2 and call out to real versions when KASAN is enabled. Use __underlying_foo to distinguish from __real_foo: __real_foo always refers to the kernel's implementation of foo, __underlying_foo could be either the kernel implementation or the __builtin_foo implementation. This is sometimes enough to make the memcmp test succeed with FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled. It is at least enough to get the function call into the module. One more fix is needed to make it reliable: see the next patch. Fixes: 6974f0c4 ("include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions") Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Fix some incompatibilites between KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE", v4. 3 KASAN self-tests fail on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE: memchr, memcmp and strlen. When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands. However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they have performed the fortify check. The compiler can detect that the results of these functions are not used, and knows that they have no other side effects, and so can eliminate them as dead code. Why are only memchr, memcmp and strlen affected? ================================================ Of string and string-like functions, kasan_test tests: * strchr -> not affected, no fortified version * strrchr -> likewise * strcmp -> likewise * strncmp -> likewise * strnlen -> not affected, the fortify source implementation calls the underlying strnlen implementation which is instrumented, not a builtin * strlen -> affected, the fortify souce implementation calls a __builtin version which the compiler can determine is dead. * memchr -> likewise * memcmp -> likewise * memset -> not affected, the compiler knows that memset writes to its first argument and therefore is not dead. Why does this not affect the functions normally? ================================================ In string.h, these functions are not marked as __pure, so the compiler cannot know that they do not have side effects. If relevant functions are marked as __pure in string.h, we see the following warnings and the functions are elided: lib/test_kasan.c: In function `kasan_memchr': lib/test_kasan.c:606:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] memchr(ptr, '1', size + 1); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lib/test_kasan.c: In function `kasan_memcmp': lib/test_kasan.c:622:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] memcmp(ptr, arr, size+1); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lib/test_kasan.c: In function `kasan_strings': lib/test_kasan.c:645:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] strchr(ptr, '1'); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... This annotation would make sense to add and could be added at any point, so the behaviour of test_kasan.c should change. The fix ======= Make all the functions that are pure write their results to a global, which makes them live. The strlen and memchr tests now pass. The memcmp test still fails to trigger, which is addressed in the next patch.

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario (DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls. There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file systems' use of those pages.

There were two nearly identical sets of code for gup_fast() style of walking the page tables with interrupts disabled. This has lead to the usual maintenance problems that arise from having duplicated code. There is already a core internal routine in gup.c for gup_fast(), so just enhance it very slightly: allow skipping the fall-back to "slow" (regular) get_user_pages(), via the new FOLL_FAST_ONLY flag. Then, just call internal_get_user_pages_fast() from __get_user_pages_fast(), and adjust the API to match pre-existing API behavior. There is a change in behavior from this refactoring: the nested form of interrupt disabling is used in all gup_fast() variants now. That's because there is only one place that interrupt disabling for page walking is done, and so the safer form is required. This should, if anything, eliminate possible (rare) bugs, because the non-nested form of enabling interrupts was fragile at best.

Patch series "mm/gup, drm/i915: refactor gup_fast, convert to pin_user_pages()", v2. In order to convert the drm/i915 driver from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages(), a FOLL_PIN equivalent of __get_user_pages_fast() was required. That led to refactoring __get_user_pages_fast(), with the following goals: 1) As above: provide a pin_user_pages*() routine for drm/i915 to call, in place of __get_user_pages_fast(), 2) Get rid of the gup.c duplicate code for walking page tables with interrupts disabled. This duplicate code is a minor maintenance problem anyway. 3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead of a bool writeable arg. Also, if this series looks good, we can ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to match the new pin_user_pages_only(). This patch (of 4): This is in order to avoid a forward declaration of internal_get_user_pages_fast(), in the next patch. This is code movement only--all generated code should be identical.

Currently reading memory.numa_stat traverses the underlying memcg tree multiple times to accumulate the stats to present the hierarchical view of the memcg tree. However the kernel already maintains the hierarchical view of the stats and use it in memory.stat. Just use the same mechanism in memory.numa_stat as well. I ran a simple benchmark which reads root_mem_cgroup's memory.numa_stat file in the presense of 10000 memcgs. The results are: Without the patch: $ time cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat > /dev/null real 0m0.700s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.697s With the patch: $ time cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat > /dev/null real 0m0.001s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.000s [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid forcing out-of-line code generation] Signed-off-by:

syzkaller reports for memory leak when kobject_init_and_add() returns an error in the function sysfs_slab_add() [1] When this happened, the function kobject_put() is not called for the corresponding kobject, which potentially leads to memory leak. This patch fixes the issue by calling kobject_put() even if kobject_init_and_add() fails. [1] BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff8880a6d4be88 (size 8): comm "syz-executor.3", pid 946, jiffies 4295772514 (age 18.396s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 70 69 64 5f 33 00 ff ff pid_3... backtrace: kstrdup+0x35/0x70 mm/util.c:60 kstrdup_const+0x3d/0x50 mm/util.c:82 kvasprintf_const+0x112/0x170 lib/kasprintf.c:48 kobject_set_name_vargs+0x55/0x130 lib/kobject.c:289 kobject_add_varg lib/kobject.c:384 [inline] kobject_init_and_add+0xd8/0x170 lib/kobject.c:473 sysfs_slab_add+0x1d8/0x290 mm/slub.c:5811 __kmem_cache_create+0x50a/0x570 mm/slub.c:4384 create_cache+0x113/0x1e0 mm/slab_common.c:407 kmem_cache_create_usercopy+0x1a1/0x260 mm/slab_common.c:505 kmem_cache_create+0xd/0x10 mm/slab_common.c:564 create_pid_cachep kernel/pid_namespace.c:54 [inline] create_pid_namespace kernel/pid_namespace.c:96 [inline] copy_pid_ns+0x77c/0x8f0 kernel/pid_namespace.c:148 create_new_namespaces+0x26b/0xa30 kernel/nsproxy.c:95 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa7/0x1e0 kernel/nsproxy.c:229 ksys_unshare+0x3d2/0x770 kernel/fork.c:2969 __do_sys_unshare kernel/fork.c:3037 [inline] __se_sys_unshare kernel/fork.c:3035 [inline] __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 kernel/fork.c:3035 do_syscall_64+0xa1/0x530 arch/x86/entry/common.c:295 Fixes: 80da026a ("mm/slub: fix slab double-free in case of duplicate sysfs filename") Reported-by:Hulk Robot <hulkci@huawei.com> Signed-off-by:
