The CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro was designed to have callers do something meaningful/protective on failure. However, using "return false" in the macro too strictly limits the design patterns of callers. Instead, let callers handle the logic test directly, but make sure that the result IS checked by forcing __must_check (which appears to not be able to be used directly on macro expressions).

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal integers 0, 1, 2. Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the checking more expressive: 0 → HIDEPID_OFF 1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS 2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.

Make a kasan test which uses a SLAB_ACCOUNT slab cache. If the test is run within a non default memcg, then it uncovers the bug fixed by "kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects"[1]. If run without fix [1] it shows "Slab cache still has objects", and the kmem_cache structure is leaked. Here's an unpatched kernel test: $ dmesg -c > /dev/null $ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test $ echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks $ modprobe test_kasan 2> /dev/null $ dmesg | grep -B1 still [ 123.456789] kasan test: memcg_accounted_kmem_cache allocate memcg accounted object [ 124.456789] kmem_cache_destroy test_cache: Slab cache still has objects Kernels with fix [1] don't have the "Slab cache still has objects" warning or the underlying leak. The new test runs and passes in the default (root) memcg, though in the root memcg it won't uncover the problem fixed by [1].

Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache destruction. - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg. - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg kmem_cache. - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free() defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine. - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg kmem cache being destroyed. To see the problem: 1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,) 2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache 3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy() will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked. Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non root memcg. Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled. kmem_cache_destroy() => shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache() flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches(). This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is enabled. So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

Commit 31bc3858 ("add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory") provides the capability to have added memory automatically onlined during add, but this appears to be slightly broken. The current implementation uses walk_memory_range() to call online_memory_block, which uses memory_block_change_state() to online the memory. Instead, we should be calling device_online() for the memory block in online_memory_block(). This would online the memory (the memory bus online routine memory_subsys_online() called from device_online calls memory_block_change_state()) and properly update the device struct offline flag. As a result of the current implementation, attempting to remove a memory block after adding it using auto online fails. This is because doing a remove, for instance echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state uses device_offline() which checks the dev->offline flag.

With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails. The problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page. Otherwise, it can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic randomly. swap_writepage bdev_writepage ops->rw_page I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration. When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

We had used page->lru to link the component pages (except the first page) of a zspage, and used INIT_LIST_HEAD(&page->lru) to init it. Therefore, to get the last page's next page, which is NULL, we had to use page flag PG_Private_2 to identify it. But now, we use page->freelist to link all of the pages in zspage and init the page->freelist as NULL for last page, so no need to use PG_Private_2 anymore. This remove redundant SetPagePrivate2 in create_page_chain and ClearPagePrivate2 in reset_page(). Save a few cycles for migration of zsmalloc page :) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1487076509-49270-1-git-send-email-xieyisheng1@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and thus a critical event. Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages. Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.

When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low watermark. On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim(). On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance of Node-A to Node-A. So the preferred node even won't be scanned for page reclaim. __alloc_pages_nodemask() get_page_from_freelist() zone_allows_reclaim() Anton proposed the test code as below: # cat alloc.c : int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { void *p; unsigned long size; unsigned long start, end; start = time(NULL); size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0); printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size); size <<= 30; p = malloc(size); assert(p); memset(p, 0, size); end = time(NULL); printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start); sleep(3600); return 0; } The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes. Both have 128GB memory. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation. # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \ sync; \ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \ # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \ grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619712 kB # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128 # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 MemFree: 186816 kB With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its free memory is running out.

The defect of the patch is that when we recovery a page from non-zero element the operations are low efficient for partial read. This patch extends zero_page to same_page so if there is any user to have monitored zero_pages, he will be surprised if the number is increased but it's not harmful, I believe.

Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2. This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma preserve write feature. migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal with concurrent modification of the page. It does a page copy without following the migration pte sequence. IIUC, this was done to keep the migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme. That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page content. This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that. We are good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte. This patch (of 2): Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b1 " mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault"). Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte. Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour. Fix this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a protnone pte.

Architectures like ppc64, use privilege access bit to mark pte non accessible. This implies that kernel can do a copy_to_user to an address marked for numa fault. This also implies that there can be a parallel hardware update for the pte. set_pte_at cannot be used in such scenarios. Hence switch the pte update to use ptep_get_and_clear and set_pte_at combination.

Running my likely/unlikely profiler, I discovered that the test in shmem_write_begin() that tests for info->seals as unlikely, is always incorrect. This is because shmem_get_inode() sets info->seals to have F_SEAL_SEAL set by default, and it is unlikely to be cleared when shmem_write_begin() is called. Thus, the if statement is very likely. But as the if statement block only cares about F_SEAL_WRITE and F_SEAL_GROW, change the test to only test those two bits.

Hillf Danton pointed out that since commit 1d82de61 ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") that PGDAT_WRITEBACK is no longer cleared. It was not noticed as triggering it requires pages under writeback to cycle twice through the LRU and before kswapd gets stalled. Historically, such issues tended to occur on small machines writing heavily to slow storage such as a USB stick. Once kswapd stalls, direct reclaim stalls may be higher but due to the fact that memory pressure is required, it would not be very noticable. Michal Hocko suggested removing the flag entirely but the conservative fix is to restore the intended PGDAT_WRITEBACK behaviour and clear the flag when a suitable zone is balanced.

The fault wrappers drm_vm_fault(), drm_vm_shm_fault(), drm_vm_dma_fault() and drm_vm_sg_fault() used to provide extra logic beyond what was in the "drm_do_*" versions of these functions, but as of commit ca0b07d9 ("drm: convert drm from nopage to fault") they are just unnecessary wrappers that do nothing. Remove them, and rename the the drm_do_* fault handlers to remove the "do_" since they no longer have corresponding wrappers.

__vmalloc_area_node() allocates pages to cover the requested vmalloc size. This can be a lot of memory. If the current task is killed by the OOM killer, and thus has an unlimited access to memory reserves, it can consume all the memory theoretically. Fix this by checking for fatal_signal_pending and back off early. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170201092706.9966-4-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

There are many reasons of CMA allocation failure such as EBUSY, ENOMEM, EINTR. But we did not know error reason so far. This patch prints the error value. Additionally if CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, this patch shows bitmap status to know available pages. Actually CMA internally tries on all available regions because some regions can be failed because of EBUSY. Bitmap status is useful to know in detail on both ENONEM and EBUSY; ENOMEM: not tried at all because of no available region it could be too small total region or could be fragmentation issue EBUSY: tried some region but all failed This is an ENOMEM example with this patch. [2: Binder:714_1: 744] cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 256 pages, ret: -12 If CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, avabile pages also will be shown as concatenated size@position format. So 4@572 means that there are 4 available pages at 572 position starting from 0 position. [2: Binder:714_1: 744] cma: number of available pages: 4@572+7@585+7@601+8@632+38@730+166@1114+127@1921=> 357 free of 2048 total pages Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485909785-3952-1-git-send-email-jaewon31.kim@samsung.comSigned-off-by:Jaewon Kim <jaewon31.kim@samsung.com> Acked-by:

If madvise(2) advice will result in the underlying vma being split and the number of areas mapped by the process will exceed /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count as a result, return ENOMEM instead of EAGAIN. EAGAIN is returned by madvise(2) when a kernel resource, such as slab, is temporarily unavailable. It indicates that userspace should retry the advice in the near future. This is important for advice such as MADV_DONTNEED which is often used by malloc implementations to free memory back to the system: we really do want to free memory back when madvise(2) returns EAGAIN because slab allocations (for vmas, anon_vmas, or mempolicies) cannot be allocated. Encountering /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count is not a temporary failure, however, so return ENOMEM to indicate this is a more serious issue. A followup patch to the man page will specify this behavior.
