* mm: fix wrong comments about anon_vma lockYuanhan Liu2013-02-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We use rwsem since commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem"). And most of comments are converted to the new rwsem lock; while just 2 more missed from: $ git grep 'anon_vma->mutex' Signed-off-by: Yuanhan Liu <yuanhan.liu@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order pageMel Gorman2013-01-113-107/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested. This patch partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

Reverting these commits was reported to solve the problem for Alexander. Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct source of the problem. split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation. Ordinarily it is expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table locks are insufficient. This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.

* mm: bootmem: fix free_all_bootmem_core() with odd bitmap alignmentMax Filippov2013-01-111-6/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently free_all_bootmem_core ignores that node_min_pfn may be not multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Eg commit 6dccdcbe2c3e ("mm: bootmem: fix checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem") shifts vec by lower bits of start instead of lower bits of idx. Also if (IS_ALIGNED(start, BITS_PER_LONG) && vec == ~0UL) assumes that vec bit 0 corresponds to start pfn, which is only true when node_min_pfn is a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Also loop in the else clause can double-free pages (e.g. with node_min_pfn == start == 1, map[0] == ~0 on 32-bit machine page 32 will be double-freed). This bug causes the following message during xtensa kernel boot: bootmem::free_all_bootmem_core nid=0 start=1 end=8000 BUG: Bad page state in process swapper pfn:00001 page:d04bd020 count:0 mapcount:-127 mapping: (null) index:0x2 page flags: 0x0() Call Trace: bad_page+0x8c/0x9c free_pages_prepare+0x5e/0x88 free_hot_cold_page+0xc/0xa0 __free_pages+0x24/0x38 __free_pages_bootmem+0x54/0x56 free_all_bootmem_core$part$11+0xeb/0x138 free_all_bootmem+0x46/0x58 mem_init+0x25/0xa4 start_kernel+0x11e/0x25c should_never_return+0x0/0x3be7 The fix is the following: - always align vec so that its bit 0 corresponds to start - provide BITS_PER_LONG bits in vec, if those bits are available in the map - don't free pages past next start position in the else clause.

* mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculationLaura Abbott2013-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct. Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB: pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97 0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97 0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98 0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98 This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation. For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen. Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from visual glitches to application failures.

* mm: memblock: fix wrong memmove size in memblock_merge_regions()Lin Feng2013-01-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the index of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)). Since the remaining elements of the memblock array are move forward by one element and there is only one additional element caused by this bug. So there won't be any write overflow here but read overflow. It may read one more element out of the array address if the array happens to be full. Commonly it doesn't matter at all but if the array happens to be located at the end a memblock, it may cause a invalid read operation for the physical address doesn't exist. There are 2 *happens to be* here, so I think the probability is quite low, I don't know if any guy is haunted by this bug before. Mostly I think it's user-invisible.

* mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migratingMel Gorman2013-01-111-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does not check page_count before migrating like base page migration and khugepage. He could not see why this was safe and he is right. The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of NUMA balancing. The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it should not be possible for another address space to fault it in parallel. If the address space has one associated task then it's difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same time. If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight. This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or without THP migration. It would be While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous pages. Note that this does not mean that the page_mapcount() check can go away. If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with migration PTEs and restored properly afterwards.

* mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPTMichal Hocko2013-01-051-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit e303297e6c3a ("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.

* mm: fix zone_watermark_ok_safe() accounting of isolated pagesBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz2013-01-052-51/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 702d1a6e0766 ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem. Then later, commit 2139cbe627b8 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter. It made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice making free pages counter incorrect). This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.

* tmpfs mempolicy: fix /proc/mounts corrupting memoryHugh Dickins2013-01-021-38/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af351c "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable memory. The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or global dirtyable memory.

This requires relatively more pressure in balance_pgdat to get the zone above the required watermark. Unfortunately, the congestion_wait() call in there slows it down for a completely wrong reason, expecting that there's a lot of writeback/swapout, even when there's none (much more common). After a few days, when fragmentation progresses, this flawed logic translates to a very high CPU iowait times, even though there's no I/O congestion at all. If THP is enabled, the problem occurs sooner, but I was able to see it even on !THP kernels, just by giving it a bit more time to occur. The proper way to deal with this is to not wait, unless there's congestion. Thanks to Mel Gorman, we already have the function that perfectly fits the job. The patch was tested on a machine which nicely revealed the problem after only 1 day of uptime, and it's been working great.

* | mm/vmscan.c: avoid possible deadlock caused by too_many_isolated()Fengguang Wu2012-12-191-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Neil found that if too_many_isolated() returns true while performing direct reclaim we can end up waiting for other threads to complete their direct reclaim. If those threads are allowed to enter the FS or IO to free memory, but this thread is not, then it is possible that those threads will be waiting on this thread and so we get a circular deadlock. some task enters direct reclaim with GFP_KERNEL => too_many_isolated() false => vmscan and run into dirty pages => pageout() => take some FS lock => fs/block code does GFP_NOIO allocation => enter direct reclaim again => too_many_isolated() true => waiting for others to progress, however the other tasks may be circular waiting for the FS lock.. The fix is to let !__GFP_IO and !__GFP_FS direct reclaims enjoy higher priority than normal ones, by lowering the throttle threshold for the latter. Allowing ~1/8 isolated pages in normal is large enough. For example, for a 1GB LRU list, that's ~128MB isolated pages, or 1k blocked tasks (each isolates 32 4KB pages), or 64 blocked tasks per logical CPU (assuming 16 logical CPUs per NUMA node). So it's not likely some CPU goes idle waiting (when it could make progress) because of this limit: there are much more sleeping reclaim tasks than the number of CPU, so the task may well be blocked by some low level queue/lock anyway. Now !GFP_IOFS reclaims won't be waiting for GFP_IOFS reclaims to progress. They will be blocked only when there are too many concurrent !GFP_IOFS reclaims, however that's very unlikely because the IO-less direct reclaims is able to progress much more faster, and they won't deadlock each other. The threshold is raised high enough for them, so that there can be sufficient parallel progress of !GFP_IOFS reclaims.

In short, slab_mutex will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function. This will create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then calls in to the sysfs directory removal function. In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what __kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove. This is pretty much the last operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by splitting this and moving this call alone to later on. This will fit nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look weird now.

* | memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagationGlauber Costa2012-12-192-4/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation. First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in memcontrol.h. The usages already in the codebase are safe. In mm/slub.c, it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop. In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is indeed safe. A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields. Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and then ->store() in the memcg cache. The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active.

When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific. Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then things work as expected. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active. This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in memcg_params a bit earlier.

* | memcg: skip memcg kmem allocations in specified code regionsGlauber Costa2012-12-191-3/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a mechanism that skip memcg allocations during certain pieces of our core code. It basically works in the same way as preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(): By marking a region under which all allocations will be accounted to the root memcg. We need this to prevent races in early cache creation, when we allocate data using caches that are not necessarily created already.

* | memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cacheGlauber Costa2012-12-191-0/+217
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is allocated. But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as possible in a page belonging to the same cache. This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the beginning of every allocation function. This function is patched out by static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used. It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process. Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes. This is considered acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration. Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be ready. This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.
