Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d94246699 ("mm: convert
p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down
his xfsrepair test enormously. In particular, it was using more system
time due to extra TLB flushing.
The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular
page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic. The old
special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and
the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page
protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections.
That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a
subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table
entries also change. And the code to decide how to group the NUMA
entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular
page was likely to be shared read-only or not.
And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission
setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for
private mappings due to COW. So even if the page actually ends up being
written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always
shared RO.
This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to
instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable. The bit
doesn't change with protection changes.
NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue,
Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared
read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions
into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and
also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write
or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the
NUMA fault handling some more.
For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault
does. Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as
PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we
might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA
faulting.
Those are bigger questions, left for later. This just fixes up the
heuristic so that it at least approximates working again. More analysis
and work needed.

Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only
mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more
efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by
passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow
the handler to perform the COW operation itself.
The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only
mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED
and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the
i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock.

DAX is a replacement for the variation of XIP currently supported by the
ext2 filesystem. We have three different things in the tree called 'XIP',
and the new focus is on access to data rather than executables, so a name
change was in order. DAX stands for Direct Access. The X is for
eXciting.
The new focus on data access has resulted in more careful attention to
races that exist in the current XIP code, but are not hit by the use-case
that it was designed for. XIP's architecture worked fine for ext2, but
DAX is architected to work with modern filsystems such as ext4 and XFS.
DAX is not intended for use with btrfs; the value that btrfs adds relies
on manipulating data and writing data to different locations, while DAX's
value is for write-in-place and keeping the kernel from touching the data.
DAX was developed in order to support NV-DIMMs, but it's become clear that
its usefuless extends beyond NV-DIMMs and there are several potential
customers including the tracing machinery. Other people want to place the
kernel log in an area of memory, as long as they have a BIOS that does not
clear DRAM on reboot.
Patch 1 is a bug fix, probably worth including in 3.18.
Patches 2 & 3 are infrastructure for DAX.
Patches 4-8 replace the XIP code with its DAX equivalents, transforming
ext2 to use the DAX code as we go. Note that patch 10 is the
Documentation patch.
Patches 9-15 clean up after the XIP code, removing the infrastructure
that is no longer needed and renaming various XIP things to DAX.
Most of these patches were added after Jan found things he didn't
like in an earlier version of the ext4 patch ... that had been copied
from ext2. So ext2 i being transformed to do things the same way that
ext4 will later. The ability to mount ext2 filesystems with the 'xip'
option is retained, although the 'dax' option is now preferred.
Patch 16 adds some DAX infrastructure to support ext4.
Patch 17 adds DAX support to ext4. It is broadly similar to ext2's DAX
support, but it is more efficient than ext4's due to its support for
unwritten extents.
Patch 18 is another cleanup patch renaming XIP to DAX.
My thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for his reviews of the v11 patchset. Most
of the changes below were based on his feedback.
This patch (of 18):
Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that
the fault didn't race against a truncate. We don't have a page to lock in
the XIP case, so use i_mmap_lock_read() instead. It is locked in the
truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size. So while we
hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has
already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will
subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we
have just inserted.
There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread
has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is
harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before
the thread's access to it is revoked.

pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are
complete. Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going
to result in strangeness so add a check for it. BUG_ON looks like
overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in
corruption so do not even try recovering. It would have been more
comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have
made the API ugly just for a debugging check.

Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of
memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and
memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux
kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE.
The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables
while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0.
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
#define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30)
#define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21)
#define NR_PUD 130000
int main(void)
{
char *addr = NULL;
unsigned long i;
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE);
for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) {
addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
break;
}
*addr = 'x';
munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE);
mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
perror("re-mmap"), exit(1);
}
printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n",
getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10);
return pause();
}
The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the
same way we account PTE.
The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and
free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases:
- HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting
the table to all processes who share it.
- x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork.
- Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity
check on exit(2).
Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is
present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The
counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by
oom-killer.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.
- fs/notify updates
- ocfs2
- some of MM"
That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.
From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.
The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.

Whether there is a vm_ops->page_mkwrite or not, the page dirtying is
pretty much the same. Make sure the page references are the same in both
cases, then merge the two branches.
It's tempting to go even further and page-lock the !page_mkwrite case, to
get it in line with everybody else setting the page table and thus further
simplify the model. But that's not quite compelling enough to justify
dropping the pte lock, then relocking and verifying the entry for
filesystems without ->page_mkwrite, which notably includes tmpfs. Leave
it for now and lock the page late in the !page_mkwrite case.

We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles
and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of
VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure.
Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty
straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches.
Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific
code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse
that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that.
For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would
like to see acks from maintainers.
In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial
kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS

fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard

normal situations.
Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal
that resulted. So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have
actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so
let's not wait for any of those to break.

The optional find_special_page VMA operation is used to lookup the
pages backing a VMA. This is useful in cases where the normal
mechanisms for finding the page don't work. This is only called if
the PTE is special.
One use case is a Xen PV guest mapping foreign pages into userspace.
In a Xen PV guest, the PTEs contain MFNs so get_user_pages() (for
example) must do an MFN to PFN (M2P) lookup before it can get the
page. For foreign pages (those owned by another guest) the M2P lookup
returns the PFN as seen by the foreign guest (which would be
completely the wrong page for the local guest).
This cannot be fixed up improving the M2P lookup since one MFN may be
mapped onto two or more pages so getting the right page is impossible
given just the MFN.

When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb->end
!= 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped.
As of commit f045bbb9fa ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager
tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these
pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call
free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up.
Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb->end = 0) by
tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64.
Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm
case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb->end
== 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set).
This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9fa, using
instead tlb->local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in
tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb->end is initialised to a
non-zero value in the fullmm case.

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition
between the dirtying and truncation of a page:
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers() __delete_from_page_cache()
if (TestSetPageDirty(page))
page->mapping = NULL
if (PageDirty())
dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
if (page->mapping)
account_page_dirtied(page)
__inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
__inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE.
Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock
directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with
the page table lock held. The notable exception to this rule, though,
is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists. However, do_wp_page()
already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit,
in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit
in the presence of dirty ptes. Upgrade that wait to a fully locked
set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above.
Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race
is no longer needed. Remove it.

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets
confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma
that is reported by /proc/maps.
This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard
page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error
from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard
page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done.
And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit
d7824370e2: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard
page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area.
This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also
effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn
measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit.
Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to
allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test,
but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar accesses.
Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data structure
is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a warning is emitted.
The next patches fix up several in-tree users of ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar
types.
This merge does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux next
already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs. non-scalar types.

Let's change the code to access the page table elements with
READ_ONCE that does implicit scalar accesses for the gup code.
mm_find_pmd is tricky, because m68k and sparc(32bit) define pmd_t
as array of longs. This code requires just that the pmd_present
and pmd_trans_huge check are done on the same value, so a barrier
is sufficent.
A similar case is in handle_pte_fault. On ppc44x the word size is
32 bit, but a pte is 64 bit. A barrier is ok as well.

Dave Hansen reports that commit fb7332a9fe ("mmu_gather: move minimal
range calculations into generic code") caused a performance problem:
"tlb_finish_mmu() goes up about 9x in the profiles (~0.4%->3.6%) and
tlb_flush_mmu_free() takes about 3.1% of CPU time with the patch
applied, but does not show up at all on the commit before"
and the reason is that Will moved the test for whether we need to flush
from tlb_flush_mmu() into tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(). But that meant that
tlb_flush_mmu_free() basically lost that check.
Move it back into tlb_flush_mmu() where it belongs, so that it covers
both tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() _and_ tlb_flush_mmu_free().

I've been seeing swapoff hangs in recent testing: it's cycling around
trying unsuccessfully to find an mm for some remaining pages of swap.
I have been exercising swap and page migration more heavily recently,
and now notice a long-standing error in copy_one_pte(): it's trying to
add dst_mm to swapoff's mmlist when it finds a swap entry, but is doing
so even when it's a migration entry or an hwpoison entry.
Which wouldn't matter much, except it adds dst_mm next to src_mm,
assuming src_mm is already on the mmlist: which may not be so. Then if
pages are later swapped out from dst_mm, swapoff won't be able to find
where to replace them.
There's already a !non_swap_entry() test for stats: move that up before
the swap_duplicate() and the addition to mmlist.

On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
, it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
tlb_remove_tlb_entry.
arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.
This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked
by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that
the end of the range has actually been set.

When unmapping a range of pages in zap_pte_range, the page being
unmapped is added to an mmu_gather_batch structure for asynchronous
freeing. If we run out of space in the batch structure before the range
has been completely unmapped, then we break out of the loop, force a
TLB flush and free the pages that we have batched so far. If there are
further pages to unmap, then we resume the loop where we left off.
Unfortunately, we forget to update addr when we break out of the loop,
which causes us to truncate the range being invalidated as the end
address is exclusive. When we re-enter the loop at the same address, the
page has already been freed and the pte_present test will fail, meaning
that we do not reconsider the address for invalidation.
This patch fixes the problem by incrementing addr by the PAGE_SIZE
before breaking out of the loop on batch failure.

For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */
With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.
As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
commit c9d0bf2414 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Two very simple bugfixes, affecting all supported architectures"
[ Two? There's three commits in here. Oh well, I guess Paolo didn't
count the preparatory symbol export ]
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm:
KVM: correct null pid check in kvm_vcpu_yield_to()
KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in kvm_is_mmio_pfn()
mm: export symbol dependencies of is_zero_pfn()
In order to make the static inline function is_zero_pfn() callable by
modules, export its symbol dependencies 'zero_pfn' and (for s390 and
mips) 'zero_page_mask'.
We need this for KVM, as CONFIG_KVM is a tristate for all supported
architectures except ARM and arm64, and testing a pfn whether it refers
to the zero page is required to correctly distinguish the zero page
from other special RAM ranges that may also have the PG_reserved bit
set, but need to be treated as MMIO memory.

Sasha Levin has shown oopses on ffffea0003480048 and ffffea0003480008 at
mm/memory.c:1132, running Trinity on different 3.16-rc-next kernels:
where zap_pte_range() checks page->mapping to see if PageAnon(page).
Those addresses fit struct pages for pfns d2001 and d2000, and in each
dump a register or a stack slot showed d2001730 or d2000730: pte flags
0x730 are PCD ACCESSED PROTNONE SPECIAL IOMAP; and Sasha's e820 map has
a hole between cfffffff and 100000000, which would need special access.
Commit c46a7c817e ("x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on
the PMD and PTE levels") has broken vm_normal_page(): a PROTNONE SPECIAL
pte no longer passes the pte_special() test, so zap_pte_range() goes on
to try to access a non-existent struct page.
Fix this by refining pte_special() (SPECIAL with PRESENT or PROTNONE) to
complement pte_numa() (SPECIAL with neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE). A
hint that this was a problem was that c46a7c817e added pte_numa() test
to vm_normal_page(), and moved its is_zero_pfn() test from slow to fast
path: This was papering over a pte_special() snag when the zero page was
encountered during zap. This patch reverts vm_normal_page() to how it
was before, relying on pte_special().
It still appears that this patch may be incomplete: aren't there other
places which need to be handling PROTNONE along with PRESENT? For
example, pte_mknuma() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and sets _PAGE_NUMA, but on a
PROT_NONE area, that would make it pte_special(). This is side-stepped
by the fact that NUMA hinting faults skipped PROT_NONE VMAs and there
are no grounds where a NUMA hinting fault on a PROT_NONE VMA would be
interesting.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
complicated and fragile.
Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:
- Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.
- Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means
that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.
- On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().
But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.
For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because
the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits
PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
to the new page during migration.
mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well,
which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care
needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can
already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page
lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a
page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we
uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may
race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to
prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward.
Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
before the final put_page() in page reclaim.
Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup
lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and
reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of
charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed
entirely after this series.

This patch (of 4):
The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.
Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:
mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
pages from the memcg if necessary.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.
This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.
As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

Use ACCESS_ONCE() in handle_pte_fault() when getting the entry or

I have no evidence that its lack is responsible for the mm/filemap.c:202
BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache() found by
trinity, and I am not optimistic that it will fix it. But I have found
no other explanation, and ACCESS_ONCE() here will surely not hurt.
If gcc does re-access the pte before passing it down, then that would be
disastrous for correct page fault handling, and certainly could explain
the page_mapped() BUGs seen (concurrent fault causing page to be mapped
in a second time on top of itself: mapcount 2 for a single pte).

do_fault_around() expects fault_around_bytes rounded down to nearest page
order. Instead of calling rounddown_pow_of_two every time in
fault_around_pages()/fault_around_mask() we could do round down when user
changes fault_around_bytes via debugfs interface.
This also fixes bug when user set fault_around_bytes to 0. Result of
rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is not defined, therefore fault_around_bytes == 0
doesn't work without this patch.

Ingo Korb reported that "repeated mapping of the same file on tmpfs
using remap_file_pages sometimes triggers a BUG at mm/filemap.c:202 when
the process exits".
He bisected the bug to d7c1755179 ("mm: implement ->map_pages for
shmem/tmpfs"), although the bug was actually added by commit
8c6e50b029 ("mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()").
The problem is caused by calling do_fault_around for a _non-linear_
fault. In this case pgoff is shifted and might become negative during
calculation.
Faulting around non-linear page-fault makes no sense and breaks the
logic in do_fault_around because pgoff is shifted.

There is evidencs that the faultaround feature is less relevant on
architectures with page size bigger then 4k. Which makes sense since page
fault overhead per byte of mapped area should be less there.
Let's rework the feature to specify faultaround area in bytes instead of
page order. It's 64 kilobytes for now.
The patch effectively disables faultaround on architectures with page size
>= 64k (like ppc64).
It's possible that some other size of faultaround area is relevant for a
platform. We can expose `fault_around_bytes' variable to arch-specific
code once such platforms will be found.

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting
faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in
situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually
it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE
and NUMA ptes based on context.
Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference
between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected
for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will
be trapped.
Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset.
This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to
uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.

If that happens, __handle_mm_fault() should just return and let

The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the
actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that
the TLB entries pointed at.
This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced
batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush
while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing
of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped.
This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between
set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty
shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the
dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock,
page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page
tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.

fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access
fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable
form or return an error. It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the
page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that
does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be
mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed.
So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand.
[ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but
we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers -
notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when
they are mapped with PROT_NONE. Maybe we should re-visit that design
decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ]

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.
First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.
->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".
Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.
TODO:
- implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
- modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.
=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.
Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):
Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.
On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.
We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

get_user_pages(write=1, force=1) has always had odd behaviour on write-
protected shared mappings: although it demands FMODE_WRITE-access to the
underlying object (do_mmap_pgoff sets neither VM_SHARED nor VM_MAYWRITE
without that), it ends up with do_wp_page substituting private anonymous
Copied-On-Write pages for the shared file pages in the area.
That was long ago intentional, as a safety measure to prevent ptrace
setting a breakpoint (or POKETEXT or POKEDATA) from inadvertently
corrupting the underlying executable. Yet exec and dynamic loaders open
the file read-only, and use MAP_PRIVATE rather than MAP_SHARED.
The traditional odd behaviour still causes surprises and bugs in mm, and
is probably not what any caller wants - even the comment on the flag
says "You do not want this" (although it's undoubtedly necessary for
overriding userspace protections in some contexts, and good when !write).
Let's stop doing that. But it would be dangerous to remove the long-
standing safety at this stage, so just make get_user_pages(write,force)
fail with EFAULT when applied to a write-protected shared area.
Infiniband may in future want to force write through to underlying
object: we can add another FOLL_flag later to enable that if required.
Odd though the old behaviour was, there is no doubt that we may turn out
to break userspace with this change, and have to revert it quickly.
Issue a WARN_ON_ONCE to help debug the changed case (easily triggered by
userspace, so only once to prevent spamming the logs); and delay a few
associated cleanups until this change is proved.
get_user_pages callers who might see trouble from this change:
ptrace poking, or writing to /proc/<pid>/mem
drivers/infiniband/
drivers/media/v4l2-core/
drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_gem.c
drivers/staging/tidspbridge/core/tiomap3430.c
if they ever apply get_user_pages to write-protected shared mappings
of an object which was opened for writing.
I went to apply the same change to mm/nommu.c, but retreated. NOMMU has
no place for COW, and its VM_flags conventions are not the same: I'd be
more likely to screw up NOMMU than make an improvement there.

- to handle write page fault to private mappings;
- to handle write page fault to shared mappings;

Masayoshi Mizuma reported a bug with the hang of an application under
the memcg limit. It happens on write-protection fault to huge zero page
If we successfully allocate a huge page to replace zero page but hit the
memcg limit we need to split the zero page with split_huge_page_pmd()
and fallback to small pages.
The other part of the problem is that VM_FAULT_OOM has special meaning
in do_huge_pmd_wp_page() context. __handle_mm_fault() expects the page
to be split if it sees VM_FAULT_OOM and it will will retry page fault
handling. This causes an infinite loop if the page was not split.
do_huge_pmd_wp_zero_page_fallback() can return VM_FAULT_OOM if it failed
to allocate one small page, so fallback to small pages will not help.
The solution for this part is to replace VM_FAULT_OOM with
VM_FAULT_FALLBACK is fallback required.

Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page. Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.
I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.
This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page.
But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad,
or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL.
This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why
they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of
places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it
then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set.
This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad,
*specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page
flag combination which was the problem.

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes. For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each. An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.
Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.
To make sure that it really works this time, some numbers from my test
machine (just booted, no load):
Before:
# grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
kmalloc-96 31987 32190 128 30 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1073 1073 92
After:
# grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
page->ptl 27516 28143 72 53 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 531 531 9
kmalloc-96 3853 5280 128 30 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 176 176 0
Note that the patch is useful not only for debug case, but also for
PREEMPT_RT, where spinlock_t is always bloated.

Record actively mapped pages and provide an api for asserting a given
page is dma inactive before execution proceeds. Placing
debug_dma_assert_idle() in cow_user_page() flagged the violation of the
dma-api in the NET_DMA implementation (see commit 7787380336 "net_dma:
mark broken").
The implementation includes the capability to count, in a limited way,
repeat mappings of the same page that occur without an intervening
unmap. This 'overlap' counter is limited to the few bits of tag space
in a radix tree. This mechanism is added to mitigate false negative
cases where, for example, a page is dma mapped twice and
debug_dma_assert_idle() is called after the page is un-mapped once.

There are three callers of task_numa_fault():
- do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
accounts against the node we migrated towards.
This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.
So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.
They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.

Commit 3812c8c8f3 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a
memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache
readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate
them all.
First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed
allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of
the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for
added bonus.
Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the
fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault
finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is
attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so
that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

Adjust numa_scan_period in task_numa_placement, depending on how much
useful work the numa code can do. The more local faults there are in a
given scan window the longer the period (and hence the slower the scan rate)
during the next window. If there are excessive shared faults then the scan
period will decrease with the amount of scaling depending on whether the
ratio of shared/private faults. If the preferred node changes then the
scan rate is reset to recheck if the task is properly placed.

Due to the way the pid is truncated, and tasks are moved between
CPUs by the scheduler, it is possible for the current task_numa_fault
to group together tasks that do not actually share memory together.
This patch adds a few easy sanity checks to task_numa_fault, joining
tasks together if they share the same tsk->mm, or if the fault was on
a page with an elevated mapcount, in a shared VMA.

With the THP migration races closed it is still possible to occasionally
see corruption. The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch.
When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being
faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not
happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but
there are a number of reasons not to
1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get
migrated
2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to
the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only
mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems
due to PID truncation when matching PIDs.
3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa
requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration
and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL
for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy.
PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy
with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the
additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache
boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary.
Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share"
pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement.
This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into
numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when
accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is
stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable
to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for
being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling
decisions based on the grouping information.

[ Fixed build failure on 32-bit systems. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.
To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.
To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.
First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.
The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false
shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated
page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the
nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data.
This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support
for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so
that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note
that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked
VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages
is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between
caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.

The zero page is not replicated between nodes and is often shared between
processes. The data is read-only and likely to be cached in local CPUs
if heavily accessed meaning that the remote memory access cost is less
of a concern. This patch prevents trapping faults on the zero pages. For
tasks using the zero page this will reduce the number of PTE updates,
TLB flushes and hinting faults.

There are three callers of task_numa_fault():
- do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
accounts against the node we migrated towards.
This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.
So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.
They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.

The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock. When a
task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right
there in the charge code until it succeeds. Comparably, any other task
that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right
then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved. The problem
is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that
the selected OOM victim may need to exit.
For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was
about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the
i_mutex. The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate()
and trying to acquire the i_mutex:
OOM invoking task:
mem_cgroup_handle_oom+0x241/0x3b0
mem_cgroup_cache_charge+0xbe/0xe0
add_to_page_cache_locked+0x4c/0x140
add_to_page_cache_lru+0x22/0x50
grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x8b/0xe0
ext3_write_begin+0x88/0x270
generic_file_buffered_write+0x116/0x290
__generic_file_aio_write+0x27c/0x480
generic_file_aio_write+0x76/0xf0 # takes ->i_mutex
do_sync_write+0xea/0x130
vfs_write+0xf3/0x1f0
sys_write+0x51/0x90
system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d
OOM kill victim:
do_truncate+0x58/0xa0 # takes i_mutex
do_last+0x250/0xa30
path_openat+0xd7/0x440
do_filp_open+0x49/0xa0
do_sys_open+0x106/0x240
sys_open+0x20/0x30
system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d
The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM
killed task is not releasing any resources.
A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is
disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations.
In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on
the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase
the group's limit. But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock
itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks. For example one of the
sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for
writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim,
may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same
mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks.
This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and
makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held:
1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the
fault instead of looping on the charge attempt. This way, the OOM
victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold.
2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it
(either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to
sleep in the charge context. Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in
the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with
-ENOMEM. pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the
memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then
either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just
restart the fault. The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any
lock a sleeping task may hold.

Ben Tebulin reported:
"Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran
out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"
and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").
That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.
The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96c ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.
The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.
Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.
This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.
Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.
To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.
One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
Make this explicit for all architectures.
2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.
3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.
These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
machine and the host:
before:
incoming: 7122.77 Mb/s
outgoing: 8480.37 Mb/s
after:

outgoing: 9455.42 Mb/s [ +11.5% ]

changes, because it's a mixed MM and scheduler topic"

Since the introduction of preemptible mmu_gather TLB fast mode has been
broken. TLB fast mode relies on there being absolutely no concurrency;
it frees pages first and invalidates TLBs later.
However now we can get concurrency and stuff goes *bang*.
This patch removes all tlb_fast_mode() code; it was found the better
option vs trying to patch the hole by entangling tlb invalidation with
the scheduler.

This changes might_fault() so that it does not
trigger a false positive diagnostic for e.g. the following
sequence:
spin_lock_irqsave()
pagefault_disable()
copy_to_user()
pagefault_enable()
spin_unlock_irqrestore()
In particular vhost wants to do this, to call
socket ops from under a lock.
There are 3 cases to consider:
- CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING - might_fault is non-inline
so it's easy to move the in_atomic test to fix
up the false positive warning.
- CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP - might_fault
is currently inline, but we are calling a
non-inline __might_sleep anyway,
so let's use the non-line version of might_fault
that does the right thing.
- !CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP && !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
__might_sleep is a nop so might_fault is a nop.
Make this explicit.

might_fault() is called from functions like copy_to_user()
which most callers expect to be very fast, like a couple of
instructions.
So functions like memcpy_toiovec() call them many times in a loop.
But might_fault() calls might_sleep() and with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
this results in a function call.
Let's not do this - just call __might_sleep() that produces
a diagnostic for sleep within atomic, but drop
might_preempt().
Here's a test sending traffic between the VM and the host,
host is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY:
before:
incoming: 7122.77 Mb/s
outgoing: 8480.37 Mb/s
after:
incoming: 8619.24 Mb/s
outgoing: 9455.42 Mb/s
As a side effect, this fixes an issue pointed
out by Ingo: might_fault might schedule differently
depending on PROVE_LOCKING. Now there's no
preemption point in both cases, so it's consistent.

Currently the memory barrier in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page doesn't
work. Because lru_cache_add_lru uses pagevec so it could miss spinlock
easily so above rule was broken so user might see inconsistent data.
I was not first person who pointed out the problem. Mel and Peter
pointed out a few months ago and Peter pointed out further that even
spin_lock/unlock can't make sure of it:
http://marc.info/?t=134333512700004
In particular:
*A = a;
LOCK
UNLOCK
*B = b;
may occur as:
LOCK, STORE *B, STORE *A, UNLOCK
At last, Hugh pointed out that even we don't need memory barrier in
there because __SetPageUpdate already have done it from Nick's commit
0ed361dec3 ("mm: fix PageUptodate data race") explicitly.
So this patch fixes comment on THP and adds same comment for
do_anonymous_page, too because everybody except Hugh was missing that.

Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory
buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be
very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases
to use.
Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies
things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a
denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around,
and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means
that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level.
It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things
like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really
need to.
So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range
into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more
natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver.
Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for
things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually
relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of
the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

This patch attempts to fix:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461
The symptom is a crash and messages like this:
chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f5 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.
On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).
The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).
This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.
BTW, I disassembled and checked that:
if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)
generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

I dislike the way in which "swapcache" gets used in do_swap_page():
there is always a page from swapcache there (even if maybe uncached by
the time we lock it), but tests are made according to "swapcache".
Rework that with "page != swapcache", as has been done in unuse_pte().

In "ksm: remove old stable nodes more thoroughly" I said that I'd never
seen its WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page)). True at the time of writing,
but it soon appeared once I tried fuller tests on the whole series.
It turned out to be due to the KSM page migration itself: unmerge_and_
remove_all_rmap_items() failed to locate and replace all the KSM pages,
because of that hiatus in page migration when old pte has been replaced
by migration entry, but not yet by new pte. follow_page() finds no page
at that instant, but a KSM page reappears shortly after, without a
fault.
Add FOLL_MIGRATION flag, so follow_page() can do migration_entry_wait()
for KSM's break_cow(). I'd have preferred to avoid another flag, and do
it every time, in case someone else makes the same easy mistake; but did
not find another transgressor (the common get_user_pages() is of course
safe), and cannot be sure that every follow_page() caller is prepared to
sleep - ia64's xencomm_vtop()? Now, THP's wait_split_huge_page() can
already sleep there, since anon_vma locking was changed to mutex, but
maybe that's somehow excluded.

This change adds a follow_page_mask function which is equivalent to
follow_page, but with an extra page_mask argument.
follow_page_mask sets *page_mask to HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1 when it encounters
a THP page, and to 0 in other cases.
__get_user_pages() makes use of this in order to accelerate populating
THP ranges - that is, when both the pages and vmas arrays are NULL, we
don't need to iterate HPAGE_PMD_NR times to cover a single THP page (and
we also avoid taking mm->page_table_lock that many times).

Switching merge_across_nodes after running KSM is liable to oops on stale
nodes still left over from the previous stable tree. It's not something
that people will often want to do, but it would be lame to demand a reboot
when they're trying to determine which merge_across_nodes setting is best.
How can this happen? We only permit switching merge_across_nodes when
pages_shared is 0, and usually set run 2 to force that beforehand, which
ought to unmerge everything: yet oopses still occur when you then run 1.
Three causes:
1. The old stable tree (built according to the inverse
merge_across_nodes) has not been fully torn down. A stable node
lingers until get_ksm_page() notices that the page it references no
longer references it: but the page is not necessarily freed as soon as
expected, particularly when swapcache.
Fix this with a pass through the old stable tree, applying
get_ksm_page() to each of the remaining nodes (most found stale and
removed immediately), with forced removal of any left over. Unless the
page is still mapped: I've not seen that case, it shouldn't occur, but
better to WARN_ON_ONCE and EBUSY than BUG.
2. __ksm_enter() has a nice little optimization, to insert the new mm
just behind ksmd's cursor, so there's a full pass for it to stabilize
(or be removed) before ksmd addresses it. Nice when ksmd is running,
but not so nice when we're trying to unmerge all mms: we were missing
those mms forked and inserted behind the unmerge cursor. Easily fixed
by inserting at the end when KSM_RUN_UNMERGE.
3. It is possible for a KSM page to be faulted back from swapcache
into an mm, just after unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() scanned past
it. Fix this by copying on fault when KSM_RUN_UNMERGE: but that is
private to ksm.c, so dissolve the distinction between
ksm_might_need_to_copy() and ksm_does_need_to_copy(), doing it all in
the one call into ksm.c.
A long outstanding, unrelated bugfix sneaks in with that third fix:
ksm_does_need_to_copy() would copy from a !PageUptodate page (implying I/O
error when read in from swap) to a page which it then marks Uptodate. Fix
this case by not copying, letting do_swap_page() discover the error.

page->_last_nid fits into page->flags on 64-bit. The unlikely 32-bit
NUMA configuration with NUMA Balancing will still need an extra page
field. As Peter notes "Completely dropping 32bit support for
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING would simplify things, but it would also remove
the warning if we grow enough 64bit only page-flags to push the last-cpu

In find_extend_vma(), we don't need mlock_vma_pages_range() to verify
the vma type - we know we're working with a stack. So, we can call
directly into __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and remove the last
make_pages_present() call site.
Note that we don't use mm_populate() here, so we can't release the
mmap_sem while allocating new stack pages. This is deemed acceptable,
because the stack vmas grow by a bounded number of pages at a time, and
these are anon pages so we don't have to read from disk to populate
them.

When ex-KSM pages are faulted from swap cache, the fault handler is not
capable of re-establishing anon_vma-spanning KSM pages. In this case, a
copy of the page is created instead, just like during a COW break.
These freshly made copies are known to be exclusive to the faulting VMA
and there is no reason to go look for this page in parent and sibling
processes during rmap operations.
Use page_add_new_anon_rmap() for these copies. This also puts them on
the proper LRU lists and marks them SwapBacked, so we can get rid of
doing this ad-hoc in the KSM copy code.

Since commit e303297e6c ("mm: extended batches for generic
mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either
tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done.
This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with
non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY)
on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft
lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no
scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the
freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup.
The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on
softlockup which is not that unusual.
The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum
number of batches in a single mmu_gather. 10k of collected pages should
be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if
they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point.
This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it
relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls
cond_resched per PMD.
The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge
process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details).

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung
(effectively setting the ACCESSED flag). For transparent huge pages,
pmd_mkyoung will only be called for a write fault.
This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not
result in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd.

The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of
system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement. Ideally a proper policy
would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the
PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information
to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not.
This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a
NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is
now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset
the scanner in case of phase changes.
This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will
converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able
to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have
no need for automatic balancing.

To say that the PMD handling code was incorrectly transferred from autonuma
is an understatement. The intention was to handle a PMDs worth of pages
in the same fault and effectively batch the taking of the PTL and page
migration. The copied version instead has the impact of clearing a number
of pte_numa PTE entries and whether any page migration takes place depends
on racing. This just happens to work in some cases.
This patch handles pte_numa faults in batch when a pmd_numa fault is
handled. The pages are migrated if they are currently misplaced.
Essentially this is making an assumption that NUMA locality is
on a PMD boundary but that could be addressed by only setting
pmd_numa if all the pages within that PMD are on the same node
if necessary.

It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a
meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part
of a basic costing model.
u = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000
Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u
Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive
Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates +
Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults +
Ci * numa_pages_migrated +
Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated
Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages
were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A
vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is
pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill.
The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count
the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like
benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma
but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the
expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0.
convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
where this is measured for the last N number of
numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
converged the value is 1.
This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is
doing it.

NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven
placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy
to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by.
This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the
context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the
node the CPU is running on. In itself this does nothing useful but any
placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement
from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

Note: This patch started as "mm/mpol: Create special PROT_NONE

heavily from "autonuma: numa hinting page faults entry points" for
the actual fault handlers without the migration parts. The end
result is barely recognisable as either patch so all Signed-off
and Reviewed-bys are dropped. If Peter, Ingo and Andrea are ok with
this version, I will re-add the signed-offs-by to reflect the history.
In order to facilitate a lazy -- fault driven -- migration of pages, create
a special transient PAGE_NUMA variant, we can then use the 'spurious'
protection faults to drive our migrations from.
The meaning of PAGE_NUMA depends on the architecture but on x86 it is
effectively PROT_NONE. Actual PROT_NONE mappings will not generate these
NUMA faults for the reason that the page fault code checks the permission on
the VMA (and will throw a segmentation fault on actual PROT_NONE mappings),
before it ever calls handle_mm_fault.

Introduce FOLL_NUMA to tell follow_page to check

so because it always invokes handle_mm_fault and retries the
follow_page later.
KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
handle_mm_fault.
Other follow_page callers like KSM should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they

get_user_pages.

With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map
as pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map()
is called once it is known the PMD is safe.
pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.
Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which
is visible in page_test from aim9.
This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table
lock. The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.
This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again. Currently:
#define MAP_SIZE (4 << 30) /* 4GB */
void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
Inactive(anon): 6304 kB
Unevictable: 4213924 kB
munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
Inactive(anon): 4186252 kB
Unevictable: 19652 kB
mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
Inactive(anon): 4198556 kB
Unevictable: 21684 kB
Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment. If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().
The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list. With this patch:
mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
Inactive(anon): 4056 kB
Unevictable: 4213940 kB
munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
Inactive(anon): 4198268 kB

In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we
need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock. In addition to its direct
calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte
call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte.
This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.
Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients
implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of
outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock. This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.
To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:
unsigned long mmun_start; /* For mmu_notifiers */
unsigned long mmun_end; /* For mmu_notifiers */
...
mmun_start = ...
mmun_end = ...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.
This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.
Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?
Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
virtual addresses directly to HW. Until now, this was achieved by
pinning the memory during the registration calls. The goal of on demand
paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
other part of their processes address spaces. Instead of requiring the
entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
and only fit the current working set in physical memory.
Why should anyone care? What problems are users currently experiencing?
This can make programming with RDMA much simpler. Today, developers
that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it. On demand
paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
which pages needs to be fetched at a given time. In the future, we
might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
all.
Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes? If so, which and how, etc?
As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.
Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
hardware with the secondary page tables change. A TLB flush of an IO
device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.
Avi said:
kvm may be a buyer. kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.
(there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
is doing up there).

We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as

truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char *map;
int fd;
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
unlink("chigurh");
ftruncate(fd, 4096);
map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
map[0] = 11;
mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
ftruncate(fd, 0);
close(fd);
munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
munmap(map, 4096);
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
return 0;
}
The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap(). Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache? mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the
memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().
remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size
(which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
existing memory attribute for the pfn range.
Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().
This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
the 'vma'.

Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.

If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page
table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and
others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to
get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and
output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a
BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.
This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time
and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37. It was probably was introduced
in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page]. The messages
look like this;

The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce. To reproduce it I was
doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.
$ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done
On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a
hard reset or a sysrq-b.
The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For
the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases,
it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.
Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
situation
Process A Process B
--------- ---------
hugetlb_fault shmdt
LockWrite(mmap_sem)
do_munmap
unmap_region
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
unmap_hugepage_range
Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
huge_pte_alloc ...
Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ...
Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
share spte ...
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
hugetlb_no_page <--- (2)
free_pgtables
unlink_file_vma
hugetlb_free_pgd_range
remove_vma_list
In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own
does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above,
the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets
up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips
up on it in free_pgtables.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
__unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA
ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like
it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
does not support madvise(DONTNEED).
This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.
Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.

This patch enabled the tlb flush range support in generic mmu layer.
Most of arch has self tlb flush range support, like ARM/IA64 etc.
X86 arch has no this support in hardware yet. But another instruction
'invlpg' can implement this function in some degree. So, enable this
feather in generic layer for x86 now. and maybe useful for other archs
in further.
Generic mmu_gather struct is protected by micro
HAVE_GENERIC_MMU_GATHER. Other archs that has flush range supported
own self mmu_gather struct. So, now this change is safe for them.
In future we may unify this struct and related functions on multiple
archs.
Thanks for Peter Zijlstra time and time reminder for multiple
architecture code safe!

On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.
It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.
Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.
The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
"The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews
from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
calls without modifying user-space binaries.
First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.
If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
within libc (binaries can be specified as well):
$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
To probe libc's malloc():
$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
look very boring):
$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are
kept in an rbtree.
If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.
Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
dynamic callback list of event consumers.
The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).
The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
to it.
Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
by setting perf_paranoid to -1.
You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."
Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

The VM accounting makes no sense at this level, and half of the callers
didn't ever actually use the end result. The only time we want to
unaccount the memory is when we actually remove the vma, so do the
accounting at that point instead.
This simplifies the interfaces (no need to pass down that silly page
counter to functions that really don't care), and also makes it much
more obvious what is actually going on: we do vm_[un]acct_memory() when
adding or removing the vma, not on random page walking.

None of the callers want to pass in 'zap_details', and it doesn't even
make sense for the case of actually unmapping vma's. So remove the
argument, and clean up the interface.

Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to
maintain the uprobes count.
In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma().
However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would
have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts
accounted (in zap_pte_range()).
If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if
the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe
count.
This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap()
and hence it does not find the breakpoint.
This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to
unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the
complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap().
This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f8e
("mm: add rss counters consistency check").

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

...
spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)
The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
it in shared mode (down_read). Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A
does not synchronize on that lock.
