In commit ab676b7d ("pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspace"), the /proc/PID/pagemap is restricted to be readable only by CAP_SYS_ADMIN to address some security issue. In commit 1c90308e ("pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged users"), the restriction is relieved to make /proc/PID/pagemap readable, but hide the physical addresses for non-privileged users. But the swap entries are readable for non-privileged users too. This has some security issues. For example, for page under migrating, the swap entry has physical address information. So, in this patch, the swap entries are hided for non-privileged users too.

tmpfs uses the helper d_find_alias() to find a dentry from a decoded inode, but d_find_alias() skips unhashed dentries, so unlinked files cannot be decoded from a file handle. This can be reproduced using xfstests test program open_by_handle: $ open_by handle -c /tmp/testdir $ open_by_handle -dk /tmp/testdir open_by_handle(/tmp/testdir/file000000) returned 116 incorrectly on an unlinked open file! To fix this, if d_find_alias() can't find a hashed alias, call d_find_any_alias() to return an unhashed one.

While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats. 1: https://lwn.net/Articles/625412/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9f8aa70652a98e98d7c4de0fc96a4addcee13efe.1523778026.git.osandov@fb.com Fixes: d92a8cfc ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") Signed-off-by:Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Reviewed-by:

Since tmpfs THP was supported in 4.8, hugetlbfs is not the only filesystem with huge page support anymore. tmpfs can use huge page via THP when mounting by "huge=" mount option. When applications use huge page on hugetlbfs, it just need check the filesystem magic number, but it is not enough for tmpfs. Make stat.st_blksize return huge page size if it is mounted by appropriate "huge=" option to give applications a hint to optimize the behavior with THP. Some applications may not do wisely with THP. For example, QEMU may mmap file on non huge page aligned hint address with MAP_FIXED, which results in no pages are PMD mapped even though THP is used. Some applications may mmap file with non huge page aligned offset. Both behaviors make THP pointless. statfs.f_bsize still returns 4KB for tmpfs since THP could be split, and it also may fallback to 4KB page silently if there is not enough huge page. Furthermore, different f_bsize makes max_blocks and free_blocks calculation harder but without too much benefit. Returning huge page size via stat.st_blksize sounds good enough. Since PUD size huge page for THP has not been supported, now it just returns HPAGE_PMD_SIZE. Hugh said: : Sorry, I have no enthusiasm for this patch; but do I feel strongly : enough to override you and everyone else to NAK it? No, I don't feel : that strongly, maybe st_blksize isn't worth arguing over. : : We did look at struct stat when designing huge tmpfs, to see if there : were any fields that should be adjusted for it; but concluded none. : Yes, it would sometimes be nice to have a quickly accessible indicator : for when tmpfs has been mounted huge (scanning /proc/mounts for options : can be tiresome, agreed); but since tmpfs tries to supply huge (or not) : pages transparently, no difference seemed right. : : So, because st_blksize is a not very useful field of struct stat, with : "size" in the name, we're going to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in there instead : of PAGE_SIZE, if the tmpfs was mounted with one of the huge "huge" : options (force or always, okay; within_size or advise, not so much). : Though HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is no more its "preferred I/O size" or "blocksize : for file system I/O" than PAGE_SIZE was. : : Which we can expect to speed up some applications and disadvantage : others, depending on how they interpret st_blksize: just like if we : changed it in the same way on non-huge tmpfs. (Did I actually try : changing st_blksize early on, and find it broke something? If so, I've : now forgotten what, and a search through commit messages didn't find : it; but I guess we'll find out soon enough.) : : If there were an mstat() syscall, returning a field "preferred : alignment", then we could certainly agree to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in : there; but in stat()'s st_blksize?

mmap_sem will be read locked when calling follow_pmd_mask(). But this cannot prevent PMD from being changed for all cases when PTL is unlocked, for example, from pmd_trans_huge() to pmd_none() via MADV_DONTNEED. So it is possible for the pmd_present() check in follow_pmd_mask() to encounter an invalid PMD. This may cause an incorrect VM_BUG_ON() or an infinite loop. Fix this by reading the PMD entry into a local variable with READ_ONCE() and checking the local variable and pmd_none() in the retry loop. As Kirill pointed out, with PTL unlocked, the *pmd may be changed under us, so reading it directly again and again may incur weird bugs. So although using *pmd directly other than for pmd_present() checking may be safe, it is still better to replace them to read *pmd once and check the local variable multiple times. When PTL unlocked, replace all *pmd with local variable was suggested by Kirill. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180419083514.1365-1-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

If memcg's usage is equal to the memory.low value, avoid reclaiming from this cgroup while there is a surplus of reclaimable memory. This sounds more logical and also matches memory.high and memory.max behavior: both are inclusive. Empty cgroups are not considered protected, so MEMCG_LOW events are not emitted for empty cgroups, if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system.

This patch aims to address an issue in current memory.low semantics, which makes it hard to use it in a hierarchy, where some leaf memory cgroups are more valuable than others. For example, there are memcgs A, A/B, A/C, A/D and A/E: A A/memory.low = 2G, A/memory.current = 6G //\\ BC DE B/memory.low = 3G B/memory.current = 2G C/memory.low = 1G C/memory.current = 2G D/memory.low = 0 D/memory.current = 2G E/memory.low = 10G E/memory.current = 0 If we apply memory pressure, B, C and D are reclaimed at the same pace while A's usage exceeds 2G. This is obviously wrong, as B's usage is fully below B's memory.low, and C has 1G of protection as well. Also, A is pushed to the size, which is less than A's 2G memory.low, which is also wrong. A simple bash script (provided below) can be used to reproduce the problem. Current results are: A: 1430097920 A/B: 711929856 A/C: 717426688 A/D: 741376 A/E: 0 To address the issue a concept of effective memory.low is introduced. Effective memory.low is always equal or less than original memory.low. In a case, when there is no memory.low overcommittment (and also for top-level cgroups), these two values are equal. Otherwise it's a part of parent's effective memory.low, calculated as a cgroup's memory.low usage divided by sum of sibling's memory.low usages (under memory.low usage I mean the size of actually protected memory: memory.current if memory.current < memory.low, 0 otherwise). It's necessary to track the actual usage, because otherwise an empty cgroup with memory.low set (A/E in my example) will affect actual memory distribution, which makes no sense. To avoid traversing the cgroup tree twice, page_counters code is reused. Calculating effective memory.low can be done in the reclaim path, as we conveniently traversing the cgroup tree from top to bottom and check memory.low on each level. So, it's a perfect place to calculate effective memory low and save it to use it for children cgroups. This also eliminates a need to traverse the cgroup tree from bottom to top each time to check if parent's guarantee is not exceeded. Setting/resetting effective memory.low is intentionally racy, but it's fine and shouldn't lead to any significant differences in actual memory distribution. With this patch applied results are matching the expectations: A: 2147930112 A/B: 1428721664 A/C: 718393344 A/D: 815104 A/E: 0 Test script: #!/bin/bash CGPATH="/sys/fs/cgroup" truncate /file1 --size 2G truncate /file2 --size 2G truncate /file3 --size 2G truncate /file4 --size 50G mkdir "${CGPATH}/A" echo "+memory" > "${CGPATH}/A/cgroup.subtree_control" mkdir "${CGPATH}/A/B" "${CGPATH}/A/C" "${CGPATH}/A/D" "${CGPATH}/A/E" echo 2G > "${CGPATH}/A/memory.low" echo 3G > "${CGPATH}/A/B/memory.low" echo 1G > "${CGPATH}/A/C/memory.low" echo 0 > "${CGPATH}/A/D/memory.low" echo 10G > "${CGPATH}/A/E/memory.low" echo $$ > "${CGPATH}/A/B/cgroup.procs" && vmtouch -qt /file1 echo $$ > "${CGPATH}/A/C/cgroup.procs" && vmtouch -qt /file2 echo $$ > "${CGPATH}/A/D/cgroup.procs" && vmtouch -qt /file3 echo $$ > "${CGPATH}/cgroup.procs" && vmtouch -qt /file4 echo "A: " `cat "${CGPATH}/A/memory.current"` echo "A/B: " `cat "${CGPATH}/A/B/memory.current"` echo "A/C: " `cat "${CGPATH}/A/C/memory.current"` echo "A/D: " `cat "${CGPATH}/A/D/memory.current"` echo "A/E: " `cat "${CGPATH}/A/E/memory.current"` rmdir "${CGPATH}/A/B" "${CGPATH}/A/C" "${CGPATH}/A/D" "${CGPATH}/A/E" rmdir "${CGPATH}/A" rm /file1 /file2 /file3 /file4 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180405185921.4942-2-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by: -

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.

With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS. Previously, memfd was only supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c. In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined. If HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality will not be available for hugetlbfs. This does not cause BUGs, just a lack of potentially desired functionality. Code is restructured in the following way: - include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h. - mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously contained in shmem.c. - memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c. - A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS or HUGETLBFS is defined. No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180415182119.4517-4-mike.kravetz@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means those pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm. Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching, they tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out. zRAM can store such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless to keep in memory. Better idea is app developers free them directly rather than remaining them on heap. This patch tell us last access time of each block of zram via "cat /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state". The output is as follows, 300 75.033841 .wh 301 63.806904 s.. 302 63.806919 ..h First column is zram's block index and 3rh one represents symbol (s: same page w: written page to backing store h: huge page) of the block state. Second column represents usec time unit of the block was last accessed. So above example means the 300th block is accessed at 75.033851 second and it was huge so it was written to the backing store. Admin can leverage this information to catch cold|incompressible pages of process with *pagemap* once part of heaps are swapped out. I used the feature a few years ago to find memory hoggers in userspace to notify them what memory they have wasted without touch for a long time. With it, they could reduce unnecessary memory space. However, at that time, I hacked up zram for the feature but now I need the feature again so I decided it would be better to upstream rather than keeping it alone. I hope I submit the userspace tool to use the feature soon.

zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means those pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm. Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching, they tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out. zRAM can store such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless to keep in memory. Better idea is app developers free them directly rather than remaining them on heap. This patch records last access time of each block of zram so that With upcoming zram memory tracking, it could help userspace developers to reduce memory footprint.

Mark incompressible pages so that we could investigate who is the owner of the incompressible pages once the page is swapped out via using upcoming zram memory tracker feature. With it, we could prevent such pages to be swapped out by using mlock. Otherwise we might remove them. This patch exposes new stat for huge pages via mm_stat.

Patch series "zram memory tracking", v5. zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means those pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm. Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching, they tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out. zRAM can store such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless to keep in memory. As well, it's pointless to store incompressible pages to zram so better idea is app developers manages them directly like free or mlock rather than remaining them on heap. This patch provides a debugfs /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state to represent each block's state so admin can investigate what memory is cold|incompressible|same page with using pagemap once the pages are swapped out. The output is as follows: 300 75.033841 .wh 301 63.806904 s.. 302 63.806919 ..h First column is zram's block index and 3rh one represents symbol (s: same page w: written page to backing store h: huge page) of the block state. Second column represents usec time unit of the block was last accessed. So above example means the 300th block is accessed at 75.033851 second and it was huge so it was written to the backing store. This patch (of 4): ZRAM_ACCESS is used for locking a slot of zram so correct the name. It is also not a common flag to indicate status of the block so move the declare position on top of the flag. Lastly, let's move the function to the top of source code to be able to use it easily without forward declaration.

Add swap max and fail events so that userland can monitor and respond to running out of swap. I'm not too sure about the fail event. Right now, it's a bit confusing which stats / events are recursive and which aren't and also which ones reflect events which originate from a given cgroup and which targets the cgroup. No idea what the right long term solution is and it could just be that growing them organically is actually the only right thing to do.

Patch series "mm, memcontrol: Implement memory.swap.events", v2. This patchset implements memory.swap.events which contains max and fail events so that userland can monitor and respond to swap running out. This patch (of 2): get_swap_page() is always followed by mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap(). This patch moves mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap() into get_swap_page() and makes get_swap_page() call the function even after swap allocation failure. This simplifies the callers and consolidates memcg related logic and will ease adding swap related memcg events.

mmap_sem is on the hot path of kernel, and it very contended, but it is abused too. It is used to protect arg_start|end and evn_start|end when reading /proc/$PID/cmdline and /proc/$PID/environ, but it doesn't make sense since those proc files just expect to read 4 values atomically and not related to VM, they could be set to arbitrary values by C/R. And, the mmap_sem contention may cause unexpected issue like below: INFO: task ps:14018 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 4.9.79-009.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ps D 0 14018 1 0x00000004 Call Trace: schedule+0x36/0x80 rwsem_down_read_failed+0xf0/0x150 call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x18/0x30 down_read+0x20/0x40 proc_pid_cmdline_read+0xd9/0x4e0 __vfs_read+0x37/0x150 vfs_read+0x96/0x130 SyS_read+0x55/0xc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xc5 Both Alexey Dobriyan and Michal Hocko suggested to use dedicated lock for them to mitigate the abuse of mmap_sem. So, introduce a new spinlock in mm_struct to protect the concurrent access to arg_start|end, env_start|end and others, as well as replace write map_sem to read to protect the race condition between prctl and sys_brk which might break check_data_rlimit(), and makes prctl more friendly to other VM operations. This patch just eliminates the abuse of mmap_sem, but it can't resolve the above hung task warning completely since the later access_remote_vm() call needs acquire mmap_sem. The mmap_sem scalability issue will be solved in the future.
