The variable 'entry' is used before being initialized in hmm_vma_walk_pmd(). No bad effect (beside performance hit) so !non_swap_entry(0) evaluate to true which trigger a fault as if CPU was trying to access migrated memory and migrate memory back from device memory to regular memory. This function (hmm_vma_walk_pmd()) is called when a device driver tries to populate its own page table. For migrated memory it should not happen as the device driver should already have populated its page table correctly during the migration. Only case I can think of is multi-GPU where a second GPU triggers migration back to regular memory. Again this would just result in a performance hit, nothing bad would happen.

The comment is confusing. On the one hand, it refers to 32-bit alignment (struct page alignment on 32-bit platforms), but this would only guarantee that the 2 lowest bits must be zero. On the other hand, it claims that at least 3 bits are available, and 3 bits are actually used. This is not broken, because there is a stronger alignment guarantee, just less obvious. Let's fix the comment to make it clear how many bits are available and why. Although memmap arrays are allocated in various places, the resulting pointer is encoded eventually, so I am adding a BUG_ON() here to enforce at runtime that all expected bits are indeed available. I have also added a BUILD_BUG_ON to check that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is sufficient, because this part of the calculation can be easily checked at build time.

During our recent testing with fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED), we find that if given offset/length is not page-aligned, the last page will not be discarded. The tool we use is vmtouch (https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/), we map a 10KB-sized file into memory and then try to run this tool to evict the whole file mapping, but the last single page always remains staying in the memory: $./vmtouch -e test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Evicted Pages: 3 (12K) Elapsed: 2.1e-05 seconds $./vmtouch test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Resident Pages: 1/3 4K/12K 33.3% Elapsed: 5.5e-05 seconds However when we test with an older kernel, say 3.10, this problem is gone. So we wonder if this is a regression: $./vmtouch -e test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Evicted Pages: 3 (12K) Elapsed: 8.2e-05 seconds $./vmtouch test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Resident Pages: 0/3 0/12K 0% <-- partial page also discarded Elapsed: 5e-05 seconds After digging a little bit into this problem, we find it seems not a regression. Not discarding partial page is likely to be on purpose according to commit 441c228f ("mm: fadvise: document the fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) behaviour for partial pages") written by Mel Gorman. He explained why partial pages should be preserved instead of being discarded when using fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED). However, the interesting part is that the actual code did NOT work as the same as it was described, the partial page was still discarded anyway, due to a calculation mistake of `end_index' passed to invalidate_mapping_pages(). This mistake has not been fixed until recently, that's why we fail to reproduce our problem in old kernels. The fix is done in commit 18aba41c ("mm/fadvise.c: do not discard partial pages with POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED") by Oleg Drokin. Back to the original testing, our problem becomes that there is a special case that, if the page-unaligned `endbyte' is also the end of file, it is not necessary at all to preserve the last partial page, as we all know no one else will use the rest of it. It should be safe enough if we just discard the whole page. So we add an EOF check in this patch. We also find a poosbile real world issue in mainline kernel. Assume such scenario: A userspace backup application want to backup a huge amount of small files (<4k) at once, the developer might (I guess) want to use fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) to save memory. However, FADV_DONTNEED won't really happen since the only page mapped is a partial page, and kernel will preserve it. Our patch also fixes this problem, since we know the endbyte is EOF, so we discard it. Here is a simple reproducer to reproduce and verify each scenario we described above: test_fadvise.c ============================== #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i, fd, ret, len; struct stat buf; void *addr; unsigned char *vec; char *strbuf; ssize_t pagesize = getpagesize(); ssize_t filesize; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR); if (fd < 0) return -1; filesize = strtoul(argv[2], NULL, 10); strbuf = malloc(filesize); memset(strbuf, 42, filesize); write(fd, strbuf, filesize); free(strbuf); fsync(fd); len = (filesize + pagesize - 1) / pagesize; printf("length of pages: %d\n", len); addr = mmap(NULL, filesize, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) return -1; ret = posix_fadvise(fd, 0, filesize, POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED); if (ret < 0) return -1; vec = malloc(len); ret = mincore(addr, filesize, (void *)vec); if (ret < 0) return -1; for (i = 0; i < len; i++) printf("pages[%d]: %x\n", i, vec[i] & 0x1); free(vec); close(fd); return 0; } ============================== Test 1: running on kernel with commit 18aba41c reverted: [root@caspar ~]# uname -r 4.15.0-rc6.revert+ [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise file1 1024 length of pages: 1 pages[0]: 0 # <-- partial page discarded [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise file2 8192 length of pages: 2 pages[0]: 0 pages[1]: 0 [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise file3 10240 length of pages: 3 pages[0]: 0 pages[1]: 0 pages[2]: 0 # <-- partial page discarded Test 2: running on mainline kernel: [root@caspar ~]# uname -r 4.15.0-rc6+ [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise test1 1024 length of pages: 1 pages[0]: 1 # <-- partial and the only page not discarded [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise test2 8192 length of pages: 2 pages[0]: 0 pages[1]: 0 [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise test3 10240 length of pages: 3 pages[0]: 0 pages[1]: 0 pages[2]: 1 # <-- partial page not discarded Test 3: running on kernel with this patch: [root@caspar ~]# uname -r 4.15.0-rc6.patched+ [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise test1 1024 length of pages: 1 pages[0]: 0 # <-- partial page and EOF, discarded [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise test2 8192 length of pages: 2 pages[0]: 0 pages[1]: 0 [root@caspar ~]# ./test_fadvise test3 10240 length of pages: 3 pages[0]: 0 pages[1]: 0 pages[2]: 0 # <-- partial page and EOF, discarded [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak code comment] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5222da9ee20e1695eaabb69f631f200d6e6b8876.1515132470.git.jinli.zjl@alibaba-inc.comSigned-off-by:

Mel Gorman authored
Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and __isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows CPU1 CPU2 truncate(inode) __isolate_lru_page() ... truncate_inode_page(mapping, page); delete_from_page_cache(page) spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL) page_cache_tree_delete(..) ... mapping = page_mapping(page); page->mapping = NULL; ... spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); page_cache_free_page(mapping, page) put_page(page) if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false - inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage) - we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free. The race is theoretically possible but unlikely. Before the delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page. Even if the race occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical window. This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not acquired. There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a side-effect to prevent mapping being freed. However, I do not like the solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

Nothing actually calls userfaultfd_file_create() besides the userfaultfd() system call itself. So simplify things by folding it into the system call and using anon_inode_getfd() instead of anon_inode_getfile(). Do the same in resolve_userfault_fork() as well.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3. Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now instead for convenience and security reasons. This patch (of 9): The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only. And no danger in removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this. The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct { union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout, but is easier to read.

Patch series "Restructure struct page", v2. This series does not attempt any grand restructuring. Instead, it cures the worst of the indentitis, fixes the documentation and reduces the ifdeffery. The only layout change is compound_dtor and compound_order are each reduced to one byte. This patch (of 8): Instead of an ifdef block at the end of the struct, which needed its own comment, define _struct_page_alignment up at the top where it fits nicely with the existing comment.

Commit 4d4bbd85 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers registered. The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not be possible without reaping. That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a "flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that these callbacks do not block. The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom victim.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the below khugepaged hung issue: INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. khugepaged D 0 270 2 0x00000000 ffff883f3deae4c0 0000000000000000 ffff883f610596c0 ffff883f7d359440 ffff883f63818000 ffffc90019adfc78 ffffffff817079a5 d67e5aa8c1860a64 0000000000000246 ffff883f7d359440 ffffc90019adfc88 ffff883f610596c0 Call Trace: schedule+0x36/0x80 rwsem_down_read_failed+0xf0/0x150 call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x18/0x30 down_read+0x20/0x40 khugepaged+0x476/0x11d0 kthread+0xe6/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the current round full_scan. And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a little bit.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd. This should take care of powerpc requirement. Only side effect is that we mark the pmd invalid early. This can result in us blocking access to the page a bit longer if we race against a thp split.

Use the modifed pmdp_invalidate() that returns the previous value of pmd to transfer dirty and accessed bits. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171213105756.69879-12-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but before set_pmd_at(). The patch change pmdp_invalidate() to make the entry non-present atomically and return previous value of the entry. This value can be used to check if CPU set dirty/accessed bits under us. The race window is very small and I haven't seen any reports that can be attributed to the bug. For this reason, I don't think backporting to stable trees needed.

We need an atomic way to setup pmd page table entry, avoiding races with CPU setting dirty/accessed bits. This is required to implement pmdp_invalidate() that doesn't lose these bits. On PAE we can avoid expensive cmpxchg8b for cases when new page table entry is not present. If it's present, fallback to cpmxchg loop.
