2010-05-11memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU lockingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-4/+0
Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without rcu_read_lock. Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected data, it should be under rcu_read_lock(). This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected area. (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of "child". So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

2010-05-11memcg: fix css_id() RCU locking for realKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-14/+5
Commit ad4ba375373937817404fd92239ef4cadbded23b ("memcg: css_id() must be called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check message. But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane and it was just for hidining lockdep messages. This is a patch for do proper things. Checking again, all places, accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional.... all callers of css_id() has reference count on it. So, it's not necessary to be under rcu_read_lock(). Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id(). We know css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0. (css->id never changes and freed after css->refcnt going to be 0.) This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

2010-05-11rmap: remove anon_vma check in page_address_in_vma()Naoya Horiguchi1-5/+4
Currently page_address_in_vma() compares vma->anon_vma and page_anon_vma(page) for parameter check, but in 2.6.34 a vma can have multiple anon_vmas with anon_vma_chain, so current check does not work. (For anonymous page shared by multiple processes, some verified (page,vma) pairs return -EFAULT wrongly.) We can go to checking all anon_vmas in the "same_vma" chain, but it needs to meet lock requirement. Instead, we can remove anon_vma check safely because page_address_in_vma() assumes that page and vma are already checked to belong to the identical process.

2010-05-11hugetlbfs: kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of OOM-killerMel Gorman1-1/+1
Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with reserves. For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap() returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus. An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap() will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault time. This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages. Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer. This is unhelpful. Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long). It could be considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user. This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the OOM killer. This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well. I feel there is a failure case in there, but I didn't create one. It would need a fairly specific target in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size. The hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be closed.

2010-05-01percpu: implement kernel memory based chunk allocationTejun Heo2-0/+108
Implement an alternate percpu chunk management based on kernel memeory for nommu SMP architectures. Instead of mapping into vmalloc area, chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using alloc_pages(). As such, percpu allocator on nommu will have the following restrictions. * It can't fill chunks on-demand page-by-page. It has to allocate each chunk fully upfront. * It can't support sparse chunk for NUMA configurations. SMP w/o mmu is crazy enough. Let's hope no one does NUMA w/o mmu. :-P * If chunk size isn't power-of-two multiple of PAGE_SIZE, the unaligned amount will be wasted on each chunk. So, archs which use this better align chunk size. For instructions on how to use this, read the comment on top of mm/percpu-km.c.

Separate out and move chunk management (creation/desctruction and [de]population) code into percpu-vm.c which is included by percpu.c and compiled together. The interface for chunk management is defined as follows. * pcpu_populate_chunk - populate the specified range of a chunk * pcpu_depopulate_chunk - depopulate the specified range of a chunk * pcpu_create_chunk - create a new chunk * pcpu_destroy_chunk - destroy a chunk, always preceded by full depop * pcpu_addr_to_page - translate address to physical address * pcpu_verify_alloc_info - check alloc_info is acceptable during init Other than wrapping vmalloc_to_page() inside pcpu_addr_to_page() and dummy pcpu_verify_alloc_info() implementation, this patch only moves code around. This separation is to allow alternate chunk management implementation.

2010-04-24hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pagesMel Gorman1-1/+4
If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a page->mapping that will never exist. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details about the problem. This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is not on the LRU. This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

2010-04-19rmap: add exclusively owned pages to the newest anon_vmaRik van Riel1-11/+16
The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively owned by the current process. Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with forking servers. This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively owned by the current process. Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively owned by the current process, and can be added to the top anon_vma. Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and add it to the oldest anon_vma. A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.

2010-04-12anonvma: when setting up page->mapping, we need to pick the _oldest_ anonvmaLinus Torvalds1-2/+13
Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page (through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too. The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just the mapping that happened to page it in first. Here's the scenario: - page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track. - Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine. - Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache) - Process B pages it in, which goes like this: do_swap_page -> page = lookup_swap_cache(entry); ... set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte); page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); And think about what happens here! In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first" mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do if (first) __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address); and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for process B! What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away. End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but anon_vma B does not exist any more. This can go on forever. Forget about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like that. The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared by all users of that possible mapping. Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets us to the safest model. This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma. But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

2010-04-12Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for anon_vma_prepare()Linus Torvalds1-24/+62
This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma associated with it. This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single entry in this case). And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always identical. This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.

2010-04-09slub: Fix kmem_ptr_validate() for non-kernel pointersPekka Enberg1-0/+3
As suggested by Linus, fix up kmem_ptr_validate() to handle non-kernel pointers more graciously. The patch changes kmem_ptr_validate() to use the newly introduced kern_ptr_validate() helper to check that a pointer is a valid kernel pointer before we attempt to convert it into a 'struct page'.

2010-04-07memcg: fix race in file_mapped accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-9/+9
Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with move_account (happens at rmdir()). increment page->mapcount (rmap.c) mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account() lock_page_cgroup() check page_mapped() if page_mapped(page)>1 { FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg } ..... overwrite pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() Then, old memcg (-1 file mapped) new memcg (+2 file mapped) This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous with lock_page_cgroup().

2010-04-07pagemap: fix pfn calculation for hugepageNaoya Horiguchi1-10/+37
When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.) This is because pte was evaluated only once for one vma although it should be updated for each hugepage. This patch fixes it. $ page-types -p 3277 -Nl -b huge voffset offset len flags 7f21e8a00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________ 7f21e8a01 11e401 1ff ________________TG________________ ^^^ 7f21e8c00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________ 7f21e8c01 11e401 1ff ________________TG________________ ^^^ One hugepage contains 1 head page and 511 tail pages in x86_64 and each two lines represent each hugepage. Voffset and offset mean virtual address and physical address in the page unit, respectively. The different hugepages should not have the same offset value. With this patch applied: $ page-types -p 3386 -Nl -b huge voffset offset len flags 7fec7a600 112c00 1 ___UD__________H_G________________ 7fec7a601 112c01 1ff ________________TG________________ ^^^ 7fec7a800 113200 1 ___UD__________H_G________________ 7fec7a801 113201 1ff ________________TG________________ ^^^ OK More info: - This patch modifies walk_page_range()'s hugepage walker. But the change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage callback. - Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that doesn't match the natural expectation from its name. - With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the callback can become much simpler.

2010-04-07mm: revert "vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup"KOSAKI Motohiro1-14/+9
Shaohua Li reported his tmpfs streaming I/O test can lead to make oom. The test uses a 6G tmpfs in a system with 3G memory. In the tmpfs, there are 6 copies of kernel source and the test does kbuild for each copy. His investigation shows the test has a lot of rotated anon pages and quite few file pages, so get_scan_ratio calculates percent[0] (i.e. scanning percent for anon) to be zero. Actually the percent[0] shoule be a big value, but our calculation round it to zero. Although before commit 84b18490 ("vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup") , we have the same problem too. But the old logic can rescue percent[0]==0 case only when priority==0. It had hided the real issue. I didn't think merely streaming io can makes percent[0]==0 && priority==0 situation. but I was wrong. So, definitely we have to fix such tmpfs streaming io issue. but anyway I revert the regression commit at first. This reverts commit 84b18490d1f1bc7ed5095c929f78bc002eb70f26.

2010-03-30percpu: don't implicitly include slab.h from percpu.hTejun Heo2-1/+35
percpu.h has always been including slab.h to get k[mz]alloc/free() for UP inline implementation. percpu.h being used by very low level headers including module.h and sched.h, this meant that a lot files unintentionally got slab.h inclusion. Lee Schermerhorn was trying to make topology.h use percpu.h and got bitten by this implicit inclusion. The right thing to do is break this ultimately unnecessary dependency. The previous patch added explicit inclusion of either gfp.h or slab.h to the source files using them. This patch updates percpu.h such that slab.h is no longer included from percpu.h.
