* zsmalloc: use first_page rather than pageMinchan Kim2016-05-211-30/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | Clean up function parameter "struct page". Many functions of zsmalloc expect that page paramter is "first_page" so use "first_page" rather than "page" for code readability.

* x86/kasan: instrument user memory access APIAndrey Ryabinin2016-05-213-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language. Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler instruments only C code. Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory. Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the kernel.

* mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementationAlexander Potapenko2016-05-2110-15/+387
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE. The object is poisoned and put into quarantine instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated. When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator. From now on the allocator may reuse it for another allocation. Before that happens, it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it retains the allocation/deallocation stacks). When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped. Therefore a use of this object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning. Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place. Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues. When a cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are moved into the global quarantine queue. Whenever a kmalloc call allows memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical memory). As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is increased. Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect incorrect accesses to it. Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later. This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. A number of improvements have been suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

* MM: increase safety margin provided by PF_LESS_THROTTLENeilBrown2016-05-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When nfsd is exporting a filesystem over NFS which is then NFS-mounted on the local machine there is a risk of deadlock. This happens when there are lots of dirty pages in the NFS filesystem and they cause NFSD to be throttled, either in throttle_vm_writeout() or in balance_dirty_pages(). To avoid this problem the PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag is set for NFSD threads and it provides a 25% increase to the limits that affect NFSD. Any process writing to an NFS filesystem will be throttled well before the number of dirty NFS pages reaches the limit imposed on NFSD, so NFSD will not deadlock on pages that it needs to write out. At least it shouldn't. All processes are allowed a small excess margin to avoid performing too many calculations: ratelimit_pages. ratelimit_pages is set so that if a thread on every CPU uses the entire margin, the total will only go 3% over the limit, and this is much less than the 25% bonus that PF_LESS_THROTTLE provides, so this margin shouldn't be a problem. But it is. The "total memory" that these 3% and 25% are calculated against are not really total memory but are "global_dirtyable_memory()" which doesn't include anonymous memory, just free memory and page-cache memory. The "ratelimit_pages" number is based on whatever the global_dirtyable_memory was on the last CPU hot-plug, which might not be what you expect, but is probably close to the total freeable memory. The throttle threshold uses the global_dirtable_memory at the moment when the throttling happens, which could be much less than at the last CPU hotplug. So if lots of anonymous memory has been allocated, thus pushing out lots of page-cache pages, then NFSD might end up being throttled due to dirty NFS pages because the "25%" bonus it gets is calculated against a rather small amount of dirtyable memory, while the "3%" margin that other processes are allowed to dirty without penalty is calculated against a much larger number. To remove this possibility of deadlock we need to make sure that the margin granted to PF_LESS_THROTTLE exceeds that rate-limit margin. Simply adding ratelimit_pages isn't enough as that should be multiplied by the number of cpus. So add "global_wb_domain.dirty_limit / 32" as that more accurately reflects the current total over-shoot margin. This ensures that the number of dirty NFS pages never gets so high that nfsd will be throttled waiting for them to be written.

* mm: disable fault around on emulated access bit architectureMinchan Kim2016-05-211-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fault_around aims to reduce minor faults of file-backed pages via speculative ahead pte mapping and relying on readahead logic. However, on non-HW access bit architecture the benefit is highly limited because they should emulate the young bit with minor faults for reclaim's page aging algorithm. IOW, we cannot reduce minor faults on those architectures. I did quick a test on my ARM machine. 512M file mmap sequential every word read on eSATA drive 4 times. stddev is stable. = fault_around 4096 = elapsed time(usec): 6747645 = fault_around 65536 = elapsed time(usec): 6709263 0.5% gain. Even when I tested it with eMMC there is no gain because I guess with slow storage the major fault is the dominant factor. Also, fault_around has the side effect of shrinking slab more aggressively and causes higher vmpressure, so if such speculation fails, it can evict slab more which can result in page I/O (e.g., inode cache). In the end, it would make void any benefit of fault_around. So let's make the default "disabled" on those architectures.

* mm: make faultaround produce old ptesKirill A. Shutemov2016-05-213-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, faultaround code produces young pte. This can screw up vmscan behaviour[1], as it makes vmscan think that these pages are hot and not push them out on first round. During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of them are young. Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay resident. Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed under memory pressure. This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines without hardware accessed bit as it will not help us with reducing the number of minor page faults. We may want to disable faultaround on such machines altogether, but that's subject for separate patchset. Minchan: "I tested 512M mmap sequential word read test on non-HW access bit system (i.e., ARM) and confirmed it doesn't increase minor fault any more. old: 4096 fault_around minor fault: 131291 elapsed time: 6747645 usec new: 65536 fault_around minor fault: 131291 elapsed time: 6709263 usec 0.56% benefit" [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1460992636-711-1-git-send-email-vinmenon@codeaurora.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463488366-47723-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

* mm: use phys_addr_t for reserve_bootmem_region() argumentsStefan Bader2016-05-212-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions. However start and end address are passed as unsigned long. This is only 32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for ranges at 4GB and above. This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory (dom0_mem=1024M for example). This would define a reserved bootmem region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range). But since the addresses were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

* userfaultfd: don't pin the user memory in userfaultfd_file_create()Oleg Nesterov2016-05-212-14/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | userfaultfd_file_create() increments mm->mm_users; this means that the memory won't be unmapped/freed if mm owner exits/execs, and UFFDIO_COPY after that can populate the orphaned mm more. Change userfaultfd_file_create() and userfaultfd_ctx_put() to use mm->mm_count to pin mm_struct. This means that atomic_inc_not_zero(mm->mm_users) is needed when we are going to actually play with this memory. Except handle_userfault() path doesn't need this, the caller must already have a reference. The patch adds the new trivial helper, mmget_not_zero(), it can have more users.

* z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pagesVitaly Wool2016-05-214-1/+830
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpu_stat_off variable is unecessary since we can check if a workqueue request is pending otherwise. Removal of cpu_stat_off makes it pretty easy for the vmstat shepherd to ensure that the proper things happen. Removing the state also removes all races related to it. Should a workqueue not be scheduled as needed for vmstat_update then the shepherd will notice and schedule it as needed. Should a workqueue be unecessarily scheduled then the vmstat updater will disable it.

This is caused by unconditionally allocating "struct wb_writeback_work" objects using GFP_ATOMIC from PF_MEMALLOC context. __alloc_pages_nodemask() { __alloc_pages_slowpath() { __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() { __perform_reclaim() { current->flags |= PF_MEMALLOC; try_to_free_pages() { do_try_to_free_pages() { wakeup_flusher_threads() { wb_start_writeback() { kzalloc(sizeof(*work), GFP_ATOMIC) { /* ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via PF_MEMALLOC */ } } } } } current->flags &= ~PF_MEMALLOC; } } } } Since I/O is stalling, allocating writeback requests forever shall deplete memory reserves. Fortunately, since wb_start_writeback() can fall back to wb_wakeup() when allocating "struct wb_writeback_work" failed, we don't need to allow wb_start_writeback() to use memory reserves.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The page_counter rounds limits down to page size values. This makes sense, except in the case of hugetlb_cgroup where it's not possible to charge partial hugepages. If the hugetlb_cgroup margin is less than the hugepage size being charged, it will fail as expected. Round the hugetlb_cgroup limit down to hugepage size, since it is the effective limit of the cgroup. For consistency, round down PAGE_COUNTER_MAX as well when a hugetlb_cgroup is created: this prevents error reports when a user cannot restore the value to the kernel default.

* tmpfs/ramfs: fix VM_MAYSHARE mappings for NOMMURich Felker2016-05-211-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nommu do_mmap expects f_op->get_unmapped_area to either succeed or return -ENOSYS for VM_MAYSHARE (e.g. private read-only) mappings. Returning addr in the non-MAP_SHARED case was completely wrong, and only happened to work because addr was 0. However, it prevented VM_MAYSHARE mappings from sharing backing with the fs cache, and forced such mappings (including shareable program text) to be copied whenever the number of mappings transitioned from 0 to 1, impacting performance and memory usage. Subsequent mappings beyond the first still correctly shared memory with the first. Instead, treat VM_MAYSHARE identically to VM_SHARED at the file ops level; do_mmap already handles the semantic differences between them.

* mm: enable RLIMIT_DATA by default with workaround for valgrindKonstantin Khlebnikov2016-05-211-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 84638335900f ("mm: rework virtual memory accounting") RLIMIT_DATA limits both brk() and private mmap() but this's disabled by default because of incompatibility with older versions of valgrind. Valgrind always set limit to zero and fails if RLIMIT_DATA is enabled. Fortunately it changes only rlim_cur and keeps rlim_max for reverting limit back when needed. This patch checks current usage also against rlim_max if rlim_cur is zero. This is safe because task anyway can increase rlim_cur up to rlim_max. Size of brk is still checked against rlim_cur, so this part is completely compatible - zero rlim_cur forbids brk() but allows private mmap().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HWPoison was specific to some particular x86 platforms. And it is often seen as high level machine check handler. And therefore, 'MCE' is used for the format prefix of printk(). However, 'PowerNV' has also used HWPoison for handling memory errors[1], so 'MCE' is no longer suitable to memory_failure.c. Additionally, 'MCE' and 'Memory failure' have different context. The former belongs to exception context and the latter belongs to process context. Furthermore, HWPoison can also be used for off-lining those sub-health pages that do not trigger any machine check exception. This patch aims to replace 'MCE' with a more appropriate prefix.

* mm,oom: speed up select_bad_process() loopTetsuo Handa2016-05-212-11/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 3a5dda7a17cf ("oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics"), select_bad_process() is using for_each_process_thread(). Since oom_unkillable_task() scans all threads in the caller's thread group and oom_task_origin() scans signal_struct of the caller's thread group, we don't need to call oom_unkillable_task() and oom_task_origin() on each thread. Also, since !mm test will be done later at oom_badness(), we don't need to do !mm test on each thread. Therefore, we only need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. Although the original code was correct it was quite inefficient because each thread group was scanned num_threads times which can be a lot especially with processes with many threads. Even though the OOM is extremely cold path it is always good to be as effective as possible when we are inside rcu_read_lock() - aka unpreemptible context. If we track number of TIF_MEMDIE threads inside signal_struct, we don't need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. This will allow select_bad_process() to use for_each_process(). This patch adds a counter to signal_struct for tracking how many TIF_MEMDIE threads are in a given thread group, and check it at oom_scan_process_thread() so that select_bad_process() can use for_each_process() rather than for_each_process_thread().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | task_will_free_mem is a misnomer for a more complex PF_EXITING test for early break out from the oom killer because it is believed that such a task would release its memory shortly and so we do not have to select an oom victim and perform a disruptive action. Currently we make sure that the given task is not participating in the core dumping because it might get blocked for a long time - see commit d003f371b270 ("oom: don't assume that a coredumping thread will exit soon"). The check can still do better though. We shouldn't consider the task unless the whole thread group is going down. This is rather unlikely but not impossible. A single exiting thread would surely leave all the address space behind. If we are really unlucky it might get stuck on the exit path and keep its TIF_MEMDIE and so block the oom killer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting for another party (e.g. exit_aio waits for an IO). If that happens the oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process next oom victim. We should strive for making this context as reliable and independent on other subsystems as much as possible. Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async (WQ) context. This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't bind too much memory anymore. The only exception is when mmap_sem trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often. The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

* mm, oom_reaper: hide oom reaped tasks from OOM killer more carefullyMichal Hocko2016-05-212-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 36324a990cf5 ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address space") not only clears TIF_MEMDIE for oom reaped task but also set OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN for the target task to hide it from the oom killer. This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for (unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes (as they do not share signal struct). If the mm had only small amount of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation. Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set. Set the flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task. This will force the select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as no such task is sacrificed for its parent.

* mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more for !CONFIG_COMPACTIONMichal Hocko2016-05-211-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Joonsoo has reported that he is able to trigger OOM for !costly high order requests (heavy fork() workload close the OOM) with the new oom detection rework. This is because we rely only on should_reclaim_retry when the compaction is disabled and it only checks watermarks for the requested order and so we might trigger OOM when there is a lot of free memory. It is not very clear what are the usual workloads when the compaction is disabled. Relying on high order allocations heavily without any mechanism to create those orders except for unbound amount of reclaim is certainly not a good idea. To prevent from potential regressions let's help this configuration some. We have to sacrifice the determinsm though because there simply is none here possible. should_compact_retry implementation for !CONFIG_COMPACTION, which was empty so far, will do watermark check for order-0 on all eligible zones. This will cause retrying until either the reclaim cannot make any further progress or all the zones are depleted even for order-0 pages. This means that the number of retries is basically unbounded for !costly orders but that was the case before the rework as well so this shouldn't regress.

* mm, oom, compaction: prevent from should_compact_retry looping for ever for ↵Michal Hocko2016-05-214-13/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | costly orders "mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the number of reclaimed pages for costly orders. While this is desirable the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the retry logic. The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones are below low watermark + 1<<order gap. If we are getting really close to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a high order request (e.g. hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able to release enough pages to get us over low watermark. The reclaim is still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop. I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system. The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we approach the oom event horizont. The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min watermark is not clear to me. This check was there essentially since 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails"). It is clearly an implementation detail though and we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be able to cope with such eventuality. The only place in should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for compaction_withdrawn() case. Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed. In this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark check. The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation order. The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining memory for a single allocation request just unblock __compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further progress. The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further progress. !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g. order-2 pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

Compaction feedback is mostly ignored and we just try to make sure that the compaction did at least something before giving up. The first condition was added by a41f24ea9fd6 ("page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations) and it assumed that lumpy reclaim could have created a page of the sufficient order. Lumpy reclaim, has been removed quite some time ago so the assumption doesn't hold anymore. Remove the check for the number of reclaimed pages and rely on the compaction feedback solely. should_reclaim_retry now only makes sure that we keep retrying reclaim for high order pages only if they are hidden by watermaks so order-0 reclaim makes really sense. should_compact_retry now keeps retrying even for the costly allocations. The number of retries is reduced wrt. !costly requests because they are less important and harder to grant and so their pressure shouldn't cause contention for other requests or cause an over reclaim. We also do not reset no_progress_loops for costly request to make sure we do not keep reclaiming too agressively. This has been tested by running a process which fragments memory: - compact memory - mmap large portion of the memory (1920M on 2GRAM machine with 2G of swapspace) - MADV_DONTNEED single page in PAGE_SIZE*((1UL<<MAX_ORDER)-1) steps until certain amount of memory is freed (250M in my test) and reduce the step to (step / 2) + 1 after reaching the end of the mapping - then run a script which populates the page cache 2G (MemTotal) from /dev/zero to a new file And then tries to allocate nr_hugepages=$(awk '/MemAvailable/{printf "%d\n", $2/(2*1024)}' /proc/meminfo) huge pages. root@test1:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory;echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory; ./fragment-mem-and-run /root/alloc_hugepages.sh 1920M 250M Node 0, zone DMA 31 28 31 10 2 0 2 1 2 3 1 Node 0, zone DMA32 437 319 171 50 28 25 20 16 16 14 437 * This is the /proc/buddyinfo after the compaction Done fragmenting. size=2013265920 freed=262144000 Node 0, zone DMA 165 48 3 1 2 0 2 2 2 2 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 35109 14575 185 51 41 12 6 0 0 0 0 * /proc/buddyinfo after memory got fragmented Executing "/root/alloc_hugepages.sh" Eating some pagecache 508623+0 records in 508623+0 records out 2083319808 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 11.7292 s, 178 MB/s Node 0, zone DMA 3 5 3 1 2 0 2 2 2 2 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 111 344 153 20 24 10 3 0 0 0 0 * /proc/buddyinfo after page cache got eaten Trying to allocate 129 129 * 129 hugepages requested and all of them granted.

Without the patch numbers looked much worse: Trying to allocate 128 12 -- Trying to allocate 129 14 -- Trying to allocate 129 7 -- Trying to allocate 129 16 -- Trying to allocate 129 30 -- Trying to allocate 129 38 -- Trying to allocate 129 19 -- Trying to allocate 129 37 -- Trying to allocate 129 28 -- Trying to allocate 129 37 Just for completness the base kernel without oom detection rework looks as follows: Trying to allocate 127 30 -- Trying to allocate 129 12 -- Trying to allocate 129 52 -- Trying to allocate 128 32 -- Trying to allocate 129 12 -- Trying to allocate 129 10 -- Trying to allocate 129 32 -- Trying to allocate 128 14 -- Trying to allocate 128 16 -- Trying to allocate 129 8 As we can see the success rate is much more volatile and smaller without this patch. So the patch not only makes the retry logic for costly requests more sensible the success rate is even higher.
