WHen registering a new binfmt_misc handler, it is possible to overflow the offset to get a negative value, which might crash the system, or possibly leak kernel data.

percpu_ida() decouples disabling interrupts from the locking operations. This breaks some assumptions if the locking operations are replaced like they are under -RT. The same locking can be achieved by avoiding local_irq_save() and using spin_lock_irqsave() instead. percpu_ida_alloc() gains one more preemption point because after unlocking the fastpath and before the pool lock is acquired, the interrupts are briefly enabled.

Improve the scalability of the IDA by using the per-IDA xa_lock rather than the global simple_ida_lock. IDAs are not typically used in performance-sensitive locations, but since we have this lock anyway, we can use it. It is also a step towards converting the IDA from the radix tree to the XArray.

* Test lookup in /proc/self/fd. "map_files" lookup story showed that lookup is not that simple. * Test that all those symlinks open the same file. Check with (st_dev, st_info). * Test that kernel threads do not have anything in their /proc/*/fd/ directory. Now this is where things get interesting. First, kernel threads aren't pinned by /proc/self or equivalent, thus some "atomicity" is required. Second, ->comm can contain whitespace and ')'. No, they are not escaped. Third, the only reliable way to check if process is kernel thread appears to be field #9 in /proc/*/stat. This field is struct task_struct::flags in decimal! Check is done by testing PF_KTHREAD flags like we do in kernel. PF_KTREAD value is a part of userspace ABI !!! Other methods for determining kernel threadness are not reliable: * RSS can be 0 if everything is swapped, even while reading from /proc/self. * ->total_vm CAN BE ZERO if process is finishing munmap(NULL, whole address space); * /proc/*/maps and similar files can be empty because unmapping everything works. Read returning 0 can't distinguish between kernel thread and such suicide process. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180505000414.GA15090@avx2Signed-off-by:

The LKP robot found a 27% will-it-scale/page_fault3 performance regression regarding commit e27be240("mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers"). What the test does is: 1 mkstemp() a 128M file on a tmpfs; 2 start $nr_cpu processes, each to loop the following: 2.1 mmap() this file in shared write mode; 2.2 write 0 to this file in a PAGE_SIZE step till the end of the file; 2.3 unmap() this file and repeat this process. 3 After 5 minutes, check how many loops they managed to complete, the higher the better. The commit itself looks innocent enough as it merely changed some event counting mechanism and this test didn't trigger those events at all. Perf shows increased cycles spent on accessing root_mem_cgroup->stat_cpu in count_memcg_event_mm()(called by handle_mm_fault()) and in __mod_memcg_state() called by page_add_file_rmap(). So it's likely due to the changed layout of 'struct mem_cgroup' that either make stat_cpu falling into a constantly modifying cacheline or some hot fields stop being in the same cacheline. I verified this by moving memory_events[] back to where it was: : --- a/include/linux/memcontrol.h : +++ b/include/linux/memcontrol.h : @@ -205,7 +205,6 @@ struct mem_cgroup { : int oom_kill_disable; : : /* memory.events */ : - atomic_long_t memory_events[MEMCG_NR_MEMORY_EVENTS]; : struct cgroup_file events_file; : : /* protect arrays of thresholds */ : @@ -238,6 +237,7 @@ struct mem_cgroup { : struct mem_cgroup_stat_cpu __percpu *stat_cpu; : atomic_long_t stat[MEMCG_NR_STAT]; : atomic_long_t events[NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS]; : + atomic_long_t memory_events[MEMCG_NR_MEMORY_EVENTS]; : : unsigned long socket_pressure; And performance restored. Later investigation found that as long as the following 3 fields moving_account, move_lock_task and stat_cpu are in the same cacheline, performance will be good. To avoid future performance surprise by other commits changing the layout of 'struct mem_cgroup', this patch makes sure the 3 fields stay in the same cacheline. One concern of this approach is, moving_account and move_lock_task could be modified when a process changes memory cgroup while stat_cpu is a always read field, it might hurt to place them in the same cacheline. I assume it is rare for a process to change memory cgroup so this should be OK.

kvmalloc warned about incompatible gfp_mask to catch abusers (mostly GFP_NOFS) with an intention that this will motivate authors of the code to fix those. Linus argues that this just motivates people to do even more hacks like if (gfp == GFP_KERNEL) kvmalloc else kmalloc I haven't seen this happening much (Linus pointed to bucket_lock special cases an atomic allocation but my git foo hasn't found much more) but it is true that we can grow those in future. Therefore Linus suggested to simply not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags and rather stick with the kmalloc path.

When bit is equal to 0x4, it means OPT_ZONE_DMA32 should be got from GFP_ZONE_TABLE. OPT_ZONE_DMA32 shall be equal to ZONE_DMA32 or ZONE_NORMAL according to the status of CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32. Similarly, when bit is equal to 0xc, that means OPT_ZONE_DMA32 should be got with an allocation policy GFP_MOVABLE. So ZONE_DMA32 or ZONE_NORMAL is the possible result value.

In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU. This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race. Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit 511e3a05 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE works as promised. We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different when commit 183f6371 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their own restricted zonelists. We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's anything currently broken. SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't yet have 511e3a05 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older ones I'll have to check. So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a separate patch.

If a process monitored with userfaultfd changes it's memory mappings or forks() at the same time as uffd monitor fills the process memory with UFFDIO_COPY, the actual creation of page table entries and copying of the data in mcopy_atomic may happen either before of after the memory mapping modifications and there is no way for the uffd monitor to maintain consistent view of the process memory layout. For instance, let's consider fork() running in parallel with userfaultfd_copy(): process | uffd monitor ---------------------------------+------------------------------ fork() | userfaultfd_copy() ... | ... dup_mmap() | down_read(mmap_sem) down_write(mmap_sem) | /* create PTEs, copy data */ dup_uffd() | up_read(mmap_sem) copy_page_range() | up_write(mmap_sem) | dup_uffd_complete() | /* notify monitor */ | If the userfaultfd_copy() takes the mmap_sem first, the new page(s) will be present by the time copy_page_range() is called and they will appear in the child's memory mappings. However, if the fork() is the first to take the mmap_sem, the new pages won't be mapped in the child's address space. If the pages are not present and child tries to access them, the monitor will get page fault notification and everything is fine. However, if the pages *are present*, the child can access them without uffd noticing. And if we copy them into child it'll see the wrong data. Since we are talking about background copy, we'd need to decide whether the pages should be copied or not regardless #PF notifications. Since userfaultfd monitor has no way to determine what was the order, let's disallow userfaultfd_copy in parallel with the non-cooperative events. In such case we return -EAGAIN and the uffd monitor can understand that userfaultfd_copy() clashed with a non-cooperative event and take an appropriate action.

Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower than the actual swap usage fails, which causes configuration problems as there's no way of lowering the configuration below the current usage short of turning off swap entirely. This makes swap.max difficult to use and allows delegatees to lock the delegator out of reducing swap allocation. This patch updates swap_max_write() so that the limit can be lowered below the current usage. It doesn't implement active reclaiming of swap entries for the following reasons. * mem_cgroup_swap_full() already tells the swap machinary to aggressively reclaim swap entries if the usage is above 50% of limit, so simply lowering the limit automatically triggers gradual reclaim. * Forcing back swapped out pages is likely to heavily impact the workload and mess up the working set. Given that swap usually is a lot less valuable and less scarce, letting the existing usage dissipate over time through the above gradual reclaim and as they're falted back in is likely the better behavior.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. See commit 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.
