2010-12-06PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swapRafael J. Wysocki1-7/+12
There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often. This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask. This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

2010-12-02vmalloc: eagerly clear ptes on vunmapJeremy Fitzhardinge1-11/+17
On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running: # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith # find /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen. Often it results in oops messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly and made Xen print some rude messages: (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp 3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7) (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp 1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb) (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04 Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it. This is because vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages while still having these RW aliases. Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages. Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB itself as needed to maintain its invariants. When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes immediately. There's no point in deferring this because there's no amortization benefit. The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the cost of the IPIs. This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf877b60 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped pages") . XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

Commit d33b9f45 ("mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in walk_page_range()") introduces a check if a vma is a hugetlbfs one and later in 5dc37642 ("mm hugetlb: add hugepage support to pagemap") it is moved under #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE but a needless find_vma call is left behind and its result is not used anywhere else in the function.

2010-11-25cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurableMichal Hocko1-2/+19
Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature. This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting may be very usuful for some workloads. This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected then the feature is turned on by default. It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic (defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with noswapaccount). The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-11-12radix-tree: fix RCU bugNick Piggin1-16/+10
Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug: In the following case, we get can get a deadlock: 0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0. 1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock. 2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item. 3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for deletion after the readers finish. 3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in the rcu-delayed indirect node. 4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref count 5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop. The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

2010-11-12mm/vfs: revalidate page->mapping in do_generic_file_read()Dave Hansen1-0/+3
70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we ran into a NULL dereference in here: int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc, unsigned long from) { ----> struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host; It looks like page->mapping was the culprit. (xmon trace is below). After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling block_is_partially_uptodate(). However, it doesn't revalidate the page->mapping after the page is locked. So, there's a small window between the find_get_page() and ->is_partially_uptodate() where the page could get truncated and page->mapping cleared. We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly can be truncated. I think the correct thing is to check page->mapping after the trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated. This patch has been running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not seen this bug pop up again. xmon info: 1f:mon> e cpu 0x1f: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c0000002ae36f770] pc: c0000000001e7a6c: .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xc/0x100 lr: c000000000142944: .generic_file_aio_read+0x1e4/0x770 sp: c0000002ae36f9f0 msr: 8000000000009032 dar: 0 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc000000378f99e30 paca = 0xc000000000f66300 pid = 21946, comm = bash 1f:mon> r R00 = 0025c0500000006d R16 = 0000000000000000 R01 = c0000002ae36f9f0 R17 = c000000362cd3af0 R02 = c000000000e8cd80 R18 = ffffffffffffffff R03 = c0000000031d0f88 R19 = 0000000000000001 R04 = c0000002ae36fa68 R20 = c0000003bb97b8a0 R05 = 0000000000000000 R21 = c0000002ae36fa68 R06 = 0000000000000000 R22 = 0000000000000000 R07 = 0000000000000001 R23 = c0000002ae36fbb0 R08 = 0000000000000002 R24 = 0000000000000000 R09 = 0000000000000000 R25 = c000000362cd3a80 R10 = 0000000000000000 R26 = 0000000000000002 R11 = c0000000001e7b60 R27 = 0000000000000000 R12 = 0000000042000484 R28 = 0000000000000001 R13 = c000000000f66300 R29 = c0000003bb97b9b8 R14 = 0000000000000001 R30 = c000000000e28a08 R15 = 000000000000ffff R31 = c0000000031d0f88 pc = c0000000001e7a6c .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xc/0x100 lr = c000000000142944 .generic_file_aio_read+0x1e4/0x770 msr = 8000000000009032 cr = 22000488 ctr = c0000000001e7a60 xer = 0000000020000000 trap = 300 dar = 0000000000000000 dsisr = 40000000 1f:mon> t [link register ] c000000000142944 .generic_file_aio_read+0x1e4/0x770 [c0000002ae36f9f0] c000000000142a14 .generic_file_aio_read+0x2b4/0x770 (unreliable) [c0000002ae36fb40] c0000000001b03e4 .do_sync_read+0xd4/0x160 [c0000002ae36fce0] c0000000001b153c .vfs_read+0xec/0x1f0 [c0000002ae36fd80] c0000000001b1768 .SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 [c0000002ae36fe30] c00000000000852c syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 --- Exception: c00 (System Call) at 00000080a840bc54 SP (fffca15df30) is in userspace 1f:mon> di c0000000001e7a6c c0000000001e7a6c e9290000 ld r9,0(r9) c0000000001e7a70 418200c0 beq c0000000001e7b30 # .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xd0/0x100 c0000000001e7a74 e9440008 ld r10,8(r4) c0000000001e7a78 78a80020 clrldi r8,r5,32 c0000000001e7a7c 3c000001 lis r0,1 c0000000001e7a80 812900a8 lwz r9,168(r9) c0000000001e7a84 39600001 li r11,1 c0000000001e7a88 7c080050 subf r0,r8,r0 c0000000001e7a8c 7f805040 cmplw cr7,r0,r10 c0000000001e7a90 7d6b4830 slw r11,r11,r9 c0000000001e7a94 796b0020 clrldi r11,r11,32 c0000000001e7a98 419d00a8 bgt cr7,c0000000001e7b40 # .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xe0/0x100 c0000000001e7a9c 7fa55840 cmpld cr7,r5,r11 c0000000001e7aa0 7d004214 add r8,r0,r8 c0000000001e7aa4 79080020 clrldi r8,r8,32 c0000000001e7aa8 419c0078 blt cr7,c0000000001e7b20 # .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xc0/0x100 Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: <arunabal@in.ibm.com> Cc: <sbest@us.ibm.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-27memcg: use for_each_mem_cgroupKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-87/+83
In memory cgroup management, we sometimes have to walk through subhierarchy of cgroup to gather informaiton, or lock something, etc. Now, to do that, mem_cgroup_walk_tree() function is provided. It calls given callback function per cgroup found. But the bad thing is that it has to pass a fixed style function and argument, "void*" and it adds much type casting to memcontrol.c. To make the code clean, this patch replaces walk_tree() with for_each_mem_cgroup_tree(iter, root) An iterator style call. The good point is that iterator call doesn't have to assume what kind of function is called under it. A bad point is that it may cause reference-count leak if a caller use "break" from the loop by mistake. I think the benefit is larger. The modified code seems straigtforward and easy to read because we don't have misterious callbacks and pointer cast.

2010-10-27memcg: avoid lock in updating file_mapped (Was fix race in file_mapped accouting flag managementKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-14/+85
At accounting file events per memory cgroup, we need to find memory cgroup via page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. Now, we use lock_page_cgroup() for guarantee pc->mem_cgroup is not overwritten while we make use of it. But, considering the context which page-cgroup for files are accessed, we can use alternative light-weight mutual execusion in the most case. At handling file-caches, the only race we have to take care of is "moving" account, IOW, overwriting page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. (See comment in the patch) Unlike charge/uncharge, "move" happens not so frequently. It happens only when rmdir() and task-moving (with a special settings.) This patch adds a race-checker for file-cache-status accounting v.s. account moving. The new per-cpu-per-memcg counter MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE is added. The routine for account move 1. Increment it before start moving 2. Call synchronize_rcu() 3. Decrement it after the end of moving. By this, file-status-counting routine can check it needs to call lock_page_cgroup(). In most case, I doesn't need to call it. Following is a perf data of a process which mmap()/munmap 32MB of file cache in a minute. Before patch: 28.25% mmap mmap [.] main 22.64% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 9.96% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped 3.67% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 3.50% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_vmas 2.99% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 2.76% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page After patch: 30.00% mmap mmap [.] main 23.78% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 5.52% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped 3.81% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_vmas 3.26% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 3.18% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 3.03% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 2.40% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] handle_mm_fault 2.40% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_page_fault This patch reduces memcg's cost to some extent.

2010-10-27memcg: fix race in file_mapped accouting flag managementKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+2
Presently memory cgroup accounts file-mapped by counter and flag. counter is working in the same way with zone_stat but FileMapped flag only exists in memcg (for helping move_account). This flag can be updated wrongly in a case. Assume CPU0 and CPU1 and a thread mapping a page on CPU0, another thread unmapping it on CPU1. CPU0 CPU1 rmv rmap (mapcount 1->0) add rmap (mapcount 0->1) lock_page_cgroup() memcg counter+1 (some delay) set MAPPED FLAG. unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() memcg counter-1 clear MAPPED flag In the above sequence counter is properly updated but FLAG is not. This means that representing a state by a flag which is maintained by counter needs some special care. To handle this, when clearing a flag, this patch check mapcount directly and clear the flag only when mapcount == 0. (if mapcount >0, someone will make it to zero later and flag will be cleared.) Reverse case, dec-after-inc cannot be a problem because page_table_lock() works well for it. (IOW, to make above sequence, 2 processes should touch the same page at once with map/unmap.)

2010-10-26mm: fix is_mem_section_removable() page_order BUG_ON checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+1
page_order() is called by memory hotplug's user interface to check the section is removable or not. (is_mem_section_removable()) It calls page_order() withoug holding zone->lock. So, even if the caller does if (PageBuddy(page)) ret = page_order(page) ... The caller may hit BUG_ON(). For fixing this, there are 2 choices. 1. add zone->lock. 2. remove BUG_ON(). is_mem_section_removable() is used for some "advice" and doesn't need to be 100% accurate. This is_removable() can be called via user program.. We don't want to take this important lock for long by user's request. So, this patch removes BUG_ON().
