2019-09-04mm/balloon_compaction: suppress allocation warningsNadav Amit1-1/+2
There is no reason to print warnings when balloon page allocation fails, as they are expected and can be handled gracefully. Since VMware balloon now uses balloon-compaction infrastructure, and suppressed these warnings before, it is also beneficial to suppress these warnings to keep the same behavior that the balloon had before.

2019-08-30mm, memcg: do not set reclaim_state on soft limit reclaimMichal Hocko1-2/+3
Adric Blake has noticed[1] the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 175 at mm/vmscan.c:245 set_task_reclaim_state+0x1e/0x40 [...] Call Trace: mem_cgroup_shrink_node+0x9b/0x1d0 mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim+0x10c/0x3a0 balance_pgdat+0x276/0x540 kswapd+0x200/0x3f0 ? wait_woken+0x80/0x80 kthread+0xfd/0x130 ? balance_pgdat+0x540/0x540 ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 ---[ end trace 727343df67b2398a ]--- which tells us that soft limit reclaim is about to overwrite the reclaim_state configured up in the call chain (kswapd in this case but the direct reclaim is equally possible).

2019-08-30mm, memcg: partially revert "mm/memcontrol.c: keep local VM counters in sync with the hierarchical ones"Roman Gushchin1-5/+3
Commit 766a4c19d880 ("mm/memcontrol.c: keep local VM counters in sync with the hierarchical ones") effectively decreased the precision of per-memcg vmstats_local and per-memcg-per-node lruvec percpu counters. That's good for displaying in memory.stat, but brings a serious regression into the reclaim process. One issue I've discovered and debugged is the following: lruvec_lru_size() can return 0 instead of the actual number of pages in the lru list, preventing the kernel to reclaim last remaining pages. Result is yet another dying memory cgroups flooding. The opposite is also happening: scanning an empty lru list is the waste of cpu time. Also, inactive_list_is_low() can return incorrect values, preventing the active lru from being scanned and freed. It can fail both because the size of active and inactive lists are inaccurate, and because the number of workingset refaults isn't precise. In other words, the result is pretty random. I'm not sure, if using the approximate number of slab pages in count_shadow_number() is acceptable, but issues described above are enough to partially revert the patch. Let's keep per-memcg vmstat_local batched (they are only used for displaying stats to the userspace), but keep lruvec stats precise. This change fixes the dead memcg flooding on my setup.

2019-08-30mm: memcontrol: flush percpu slab vmstats on kmem offliningRoman Gushchin1-8/+27
I've noticed that the "slab" value in memory.stat is sometimes 0, even if some children memory cgroups have a non-zero "slab" value. The following investigation showed that this is the result of the kmem_cache reparenting in combination with the per-cpu batching of slab vmstats. At the offlining some vmstat value may leave in the percpu cache, not being propagated upwards by the cgroup hierarchy. It means that stats on ancestor levels are lower than actual. Later when slab pages are released, the precise number of pages is substracted on the parent level, making the value negative. We don't show negative values, 0 is printed instead. To fix this issue, let's flush percpu slab memcg and lruvec stats on memcg offlining. This guarantees that numbers on all ancestor levels are accurate and match the actual number of outstanding slab pages.

2019-08-24mm/kasan: fix false positive invalid-free reports with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=yAndrey Ryabinin1-2/+8
The code like this: ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); page = virt_to_page(ptr); offset = offset_in_page(ptr); kfree(page_address(page) + offset); may produce false-positive invalid-free reports on the kernel with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y. In the example above we lose the original tag assigned to 'ptr', so kfree() gets the pointer with 0xFF tag. In kfree() we check that 0xFF tag is different from the tag in shadow hence print false report. Instead of just comparing tags, do the following: 1) Check that shadow doesn't contain KASAN_TAG_INVALID. Otherwise it's double-free and it doesn't matter what tag the pointer have. 2) If pointer tag is different from 0xFF, make sure that tag in the shadow is the same as in the pointer.

2019-08-24mm/zsmalloc.c: fix race condition in zs_destroy_poolHenry Burns1-2/+59
In zs_destroy_pool() we call flush_work(&pool->free_work). However, we have no guarantee that migration isn't happening in the background at that time. Since migration can't directly free pages, it relies on free_work being scheduled to free the pages. But there's nothing preventing an in-progress migrate from queuing the work *after* zs_unregister_migration() has called flush_work(). Which would mean pages still pointing at the inode when we free it. Since we know at destroy time all objects should be free, no new migrations can come in (since zs_page_isolate() fails for fully-free zspages). This means it is sufficient to track a "# isolated zspages" count by class, and have the destroy logic ensure all such pages have drained before proceeding. Keeping that state under the class spinlock keeps the logic straightforward. In this case a memory leak could lead to an eventual crash if compaction hits the leaked page. This crash would only occur if people are changing their zswap backend at runtime (which eventually starts destruction).

2019-08-24mm/zsmalloc.c: migration can leave pages in ZS_EMPTY indefinitelyHenry Burns1-4/+15
In zs_page_migrate() we call putback_zspage() after we have finished migrating all pages in this zspage. However, the return value is ignored. If a zs_free() races in between zs_page_isolate() and zs_page_migrate(), freeing the last object in the zspage, putback_zspage() will leave the page in ZS_EMPTY for potentially an unbounded amount of time. To fix this, we need to do the same thing as zs_page_putback() does: schedule free_work to occur. To avoid duplicated code, move the sequence to a new putback_zspage_deferred() function which both zs_page_migrate() and zs_page_putback() call.

2019-08-24mm: memcontrol: flush percpu vmevents before releasing memcgRoman Gushchin1-1/+21
Similar to vmstats, percpu caching of local vmevents leads to an accumulation of errors on non-leaf levels. This happens because some leftovers may remain in percpu caches, so that they are never propagated up by the cgroup tree and just disappear into nonexistence with on releasing of the memory cgroup. To fix this issue let's accumulate and propagate percpu vmevents values before releasing the memory cgroup similar to what we're doing with vmstats. Since on cpu hotplug we do flush percpu vmstats anyway, we can iterate only over online cpus.

2019-08-24mm: memcontrol: flush percpu vmstats before releasing memcgRoman Gushchin1-0/+40
Percpu caching of local vmstats with the conditional propagation by the cgroup tree leads to an accumulation of errors on non-leaf levels. Let's imagine two nested memory cgroups A and A/B. Say, a process belonging to A/B allocates 100 pagecache pages on the CPU 0. The percpu cache will spill 3 times, so that 32*3=96 pages will be accounted to A/B and A atomic vmstat counters, 4 pages will remain in the percpu cache. Imagine A/B is nearby memory.max, so that every following allocation triggers a direct reclaim on the local CPU. Say, each such attempt will free 16 pages on a new cpu. That means every percpu cache will have -16 pages, except the first one, which will have 4 - 16 = -12. A/B and A atomic counters will not be touched at all. Now a user removes A/B. All percpu caches are freed and corresponding vmstat numbers are forgotten. A has 96 pages more than expected. As memory cgroups are created and destroyed, errors do accumulate. Even 1-2 pages differences can accumulate into large numbers. To fix this issue let's accumulate and propagate percpu vmstat values before releasing the memory cgroup. At this point these numbers are stable and cannot be changed. Since on cpu hotplug we do flush percpu vmstats anyway, we can iterate only over online cpus.

2019-08-24mm, page_alloc: move_freepages should not examine struct page of reserved memoryDavid Rientjes1-15/+4
After commit 907ec5fca3dc ("mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages"), struct page of reserved memory is zeroed. This causes page->flags to be 0 and fixes issues related to reading /proc/kpageflags, for example, of reserved memory. The VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages_block(), however, assumes that page_zone() is meaningful even for reserved memory. That assumption is no longer true after the aforementioned commit. There's no reason why move_freepages_block() should be testing the legitimacy of page_zone() for reserved memory; its scope is limited only to pages on the zone's freelist. Note that pfn_valid() can be true for reserved memory: there is a backing struct page. The check for page_to_nid(page) is also buggy but reserved memory normally only appears on node 0 so the zeroing doesn't affect this. Move the debug checks to after verifying PageBuddy is true. This isolates the scope of the checks to only be for buddy pages which are on the zone's freelist which move_freepages_block() is operating on. In this case, an incorrect node or zone is a bug worthy of being warned about (and the examination of struct page is acceptable bcause this memory is not reserved). Why does move_freepages_block() gets called on reserved memory? It's simply math after finding a valid free page from the per-zone free area to use as fallback. We find the beginning and end of the pageblock of the valid page and that can bring us into memory that was reserved per the e820. pfn_valid() is still true (it's backed by a struct page), but since it's zero'd we shouldn't make any inferences here about comparing its node or zone. The current node check just happens to succeed most of the time by luck because reserved memory typically appears on node 0. The fix here is to validate that we actually have buddy pages before testing if there's any type of zone or node strangeness going on. We noticed it almost immediately after bringing 907ec5fca3dc in on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It depends on finding specific free pages in the per-zone free area where the math in move_freepages() will bring the start or end pfn into reserved memory and wanting to claim that entire pageblock as a new migratetype. So the path will be rare, require CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, and require fallback to a different migratetype. Some struct pages were already zeroed from reserve pages before 907ec5fca3c so it theoretically could trigger before this commit. I think it's rare enough under a config option that most people don't run that others may not have noticed. I wouldn't argue against a stable tag and the backport should be easy enough, but probably wouldn't single out a commit that this is fixing. Mel said: : The overhead of the debugging check is higher with this patch although : it'll only affect debug builds and the path is not particularly hot. : If this was a concern, I think it would be reasonable to simply remove : the debugging check as the zone boundaries are checked in : move_freepages_block and we never expect a zone/node to be smaller than : a pageblock and stuck in the middle of another zone.

2019-08-13hugetlbfs: fix hugetlb page migration/fault race causing SIGBUSMike Kravetz1-0/+19
Li Wang discovered that LTP/move_page12 V2 sometimes triggers SIGBUS in the kernel-v5.2.3 testing. This is caused by a race between hugetlb page migration and page fault. If a hugetlb page can not be allocated to satisfy a page fault, the task is sent SIGBUS. This is normal hugetlbfs behavior. A hugetlb fault mutex exists to prevent two tasks from trying to instantiate the same page. This protects against the situation where there is only one hugetlb page, and both tasks would try to allocate. Without the mutex, one would fail and SIGBUS even though the other fault would be successful. There is a similar race between hugetlb page migration and fault. Migration code will allocate a page for the target of the migration. It will then unmap the original page from all page tables. It does this unmap by first clearing the pte and then writing a migration entry. The page table lock is held for the duration of this clear and write operation. However, the beginnings of the hugetlb page fault code optimistically checks the pte without taking the page table lock. If clear (as it can be during the migration unmap operation), a hugetlb page allocation is attempted to satisfy the fault. Note that the page which will eventually satisfy this fault was already allocated by the migration code. However, the allocation within the fault path could fail which would result in the task incorrectly being sent SIGBUS. Ideally, we could take the hugetlb fault mutex in the migration code when modifying the page tables. However, locks must be taken in the order of hugetlb fault mutex, page lock, page table lock. This would require significant rework of the migration code. Instead, the issue is addressed in the hugetlb fault code. After failing to allocate a huge page, take the page table lock and check for huge_pte_none before returning an error. This is the same check that must be made further in the code even if page allocation is successful.

2019-08-13mm, vmscan: do not special-case slab reclaim when watermarks are boostedMel Gorman1-11/+2
Dave Chinner reported a problem pointing a finger at commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs"). The report is extensive: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190807091858.2857-1-david@fromorbit.com/ and it's worth recording the most relevant parts (colorful language and typos included). When running a simple, steady state 4kB file creation test to simulate extracting tarballs larger than memory full of small files into the filesystem, I noticed that once memory fills up the cache balance goes to hell. The workload is creating one dirty cached inode for every dirty page, both of which should require a single IO each to clean and reclaim, and creation of inodes is throttled by the rate at which dirty writeback runs at (via balance dirty pages). Hence the ingest rate of new cached inodes and page cache pages is identical and steady. As a result, memory reclaim should quickly find a steady balance between page cache and inode caches. The moment memory fills, the page cache is reclaimed at a much faster rate than the inode cache, and evidence suggests that the inode cache shrinker is not being called when large batches of pages are being reclaimed. In roughly the same time period that it takes to fill memory with 50% pages and 50% slab caches, memory reclaim reduces the page cache down to just dirty pages and slab caches fill the entirety of memory. The LRU is largely full of dirty pages, and we're getting spikes of random writeback from memory reclaim so it's all going to shit. Behaviour never recovers, the page cache remains pinned at just dirty pages, and nothing I could tune would make any difference. vfs_cache_pressure makes no difference - I would set it so high it should trim the entire inode caches in a single pass, yet it didn't do anything. It was clear from tracing and live telemetry that the shrinkers were pretty much not running except when there was absolutely no memory free at all, and then they did the minimum necessary to free memory to make progress. So I went looking at the code, trying to find places where pages got reclaimed and the shrinkers weren't called. There's only one - kswapd doing boosted reclaim as per commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs"). The watermark boosting introduced by the commit is triggered in response to an allocation "fragmentation event". The boosting was not intended to target THP specifically and triggers even if THP is disabled. However, with Dave's perfectly reasonable workload, fragmentation events can be very common given the ratio of slab to page cache allocations so boosting remains active for long periods of time. As high-order allocations might use compaction and compaction cannot move slab pages the decision was made in the commit to special-case kswapd when watermarks are boosted -- kswapd avoids reclaiming slab as reclaiming slab does not directly help compaction. As Dave notes, this decision means that slab can be artificially protected for long periods of time and messes up the balance with slab and page caches. Removing the special casing can still indirectly help avoid fragmentation by avoiding fragmentation-causing events due to slab allocation as pages from a slab pageblock will have some slab objects freed. Furthermore, with the special casing, reclaim behaviour is unpredictable as kswapd sometimes examines slab and sometimes does not in a manner that is tricky to tune or analyse. This patch removes the special casing. The downside is that this is not a universal performance win. Some benchmarks that depend on the residency of data when rereading metadata may see a regression when slab reclaim is restored to its original behaviour. Similarly, some benchmarks that only read-once or write-once may perform better when page reclaim is too aggressive. The primary upside is that slab shrinker is less surprising (arguably more sane but that's a matter of opinion), behaves consistently regardless of the fragmentation state of the system and properly obeys VM sysctls. A fsmark benchmark configuration was constructed similar to what Dave reported and is codified by the mmtest configuration config-io-fsmark-small-file-stream. It was evaluated on a 1-socket machine to avoid dealing with NUMA-related issues and the timing of reclaim. The storage was an SSD Samsung Evo and a fresh trimmed XFS filesystem was used for the test data. This is not an exact replication of Dave's setup. The configuration scales its parameters depending on the memory size of the SUT to behave similarly across machines. The parameters mean the first sample reported by fs_mark is using 50% of RAM which will barely be throttled and look like a big outlier. Dave used fake NUMA to have multiple kswapd instances which I didn't replicate. Finally, the number of iterations differ from Dave's test as the target disk was not large enough. While not identical, it should be representative. fsmark 5.3.0-rc3 5.3.0-rc3 vanilla shrinker-v1r1 Min 1-files/sec 4444.80 ( 0.00%) 4765.60 ( 7.22%) 1st-qrtle 1-files/sec 5005.10 ( 0.00%) 5091.70 ( 1.73%) 2nd-qrtle 1-files/sec 4917.80 ( 0.00%) 4855.60 ( -1.26%) 3rd-qrtle 1-files/sec 4667.40 ( 0.00%) 4831.20 ( 3.51%) Max-1 1-files/sec 11421.50 ( 0.00%) 9999.30 ( -12.45%) Max-5 1-files/sec 11421.50 ( 0.00%) 9999.30 ( -12.45%) Max-10 1-files/sec 11421.50 ( 0.00%) 9999.30 ( -12.45%) Max-90 1-files/sec 4649.60 ( 0.00%) 4780.70 ( 2.82%) Max-95 1-files/sec 4491.00 ( 0.00%) 4768.20 ( 6.17%) Max-99 1-files/sec 4491.00 ( 0.00%) 4768.20 ( 6.17%) Max 1-files/sec 11421.50 ( 0.00%) 9999.30 ( -12.45%) Hmean 1-files/sec 5004.75 ( 0.00%) 5075.96 ( 1.42%) Stddev 1-files/sec 1778.70 ( 0.00%) 1369.66 ( 23.00%) CoeffVar 1-files/sec 33.70 ( 0.00%) 26.05 ( 22.71%) BHmean-99 1-files/sec 5053.72 ( 0.00%) 5101.52 ( 0.95%) BHmean-95 1-files/sec 5053.72 ( 0.00%) 5101.52 ( 0.95%) BHmean-90 1-files/sec 5107.05 ( 0.00%) 5131.41 ( 0.48%) BHmean-75 1-files/sec 5208.45 ( 0.00%) 5206.68 ( -0.03%) BHmean-50 1-files/sec 5405.53 ( 0.00%) 5381.62 ( -0.44%) BHmean-25 1-files/sec 6179.75 ( 0.00%) 6095.14 ( -1.37%) 5.3.0-rc3 5.3.0-rc3 vanillashrinker-v1r1 Duration User 501.82 497.29 Duration System 4401.44 4424.08 Duration Elapsed 8124.76 8358.05 This is showing a slight skew for the max result representing a large outlier for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile are similar indicating that the bulk of the results show little difference. Note that an earlier version of the fsmark configuration showed a regression but that included more samples taken while memory was still filling. Note that the elapsed time is higher. Part of this is that the configuration included time to delete all the test files when the test completes -- the test automation handles the possibility of testing fsmark with multiple thread counts. Without the patch, many of these objects would be memory resident which is part of what the patch is addressing. There are other important observations that justify the patch. 1. With the vanilla kernel, the number of dirty pages in the system is very low for much of the test. With this patch, dirty pages is generally kept at 10% which matches vm.dirty_background_ratio which is normal expected historical behaviour. 2. With the vanilla kernel, the ratio of Slab/Pagecache is close to 0.95 for much of the test i.e. Slab is being left alone and dominating memory consumption. With the patch applied, the ratio varies between 0.35 and 0.45 with the bulk of the measured ratios roughly half way between those values. This is a different balance to what Dave reported but it was at least consistent. 3. Slabs are scanned throughout the entire test with the patch applied. The vanille kernel has periods with no scan activity and then relatively massive spikes. 4. Without the patch, kswapd scan rates are very variable. With the patch, the scan rates remain quite steady. 4. Overall vmstats are closer to normal expectations 5.3.0-rc3 5.3.0-rc3 vanilla shrinker-v1r1 Ops Direct pages scanned 99388.00 328410.00 Ops Kswapd pages scanned 45382917.00 33451026.00 Ops Kswapd pages reclaimed 30869570.00 25239655.00 Ops Direct pages reclaimed 74131.00 5830.00 Ops Kswapd efficiency % 68.02 75.45 Ops Kswapd velocity 5585.75 4002.25 Ops Page reclaim immediate 1179721.00 430927.00 Ops Slabs scanned 62367361.00 73581394.00 Ops Direct inode steals 2103.00 1002.00 Ops Kswapd inode steals 570180.00 5183206.00 o Vanilla kernel is hitting direct reclaim more frequently, not very much in absolute terms but the fact the patch reduces it is interesting o "Page reclaim immediate" in the vanilla kernel indicates dirty pages are being encountered at the tail of the LRU. This is generally bad and means in this case that the LRU is not long enough for dirty pages to be cleaned by the background flush in time. This is much reduced by the patch. o With the patch, kswapd is reclaiming 10 times more slab pages than with the vanilla kernel. This is indicative of the watermark boosting over-protecting slab A more complete set of tests were run that were part of the basis for introducing boosting and while there are some differences, they are well within tolerances. Bottom line, the special casing kswapd to avoid slab behaviour is unpredictable and can lead to abnormal results for normal workloads. This patch restores the expected behaviour that slab and page cache is balanced consistently for a workload with a steady allocation ratio of slab/pagecache pages. It also means that if there are workloads that favour the preservation of slab over pagecache that it can be tuned via vm.vfs_cache_pressure where as the vanilla kernel effectively ignores the parameter when boosting is active.

2019-08-13Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"Andrea Arcangeli2-17/+27
This reverts commit 2f0799a0ffc033b ("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"). commit 2f0799a0ffc033b was rightfully applied to avoid the risk of a severe regression that was reported by the kernel test robot at the end of the merge window. Now we understood the regression was a false positive and was caused by a significant increase in fairness during a swap trashing benchmark. So it's safe to re-apply the fix and continue improving the code from there. The benchmark that reported the regression is very useful, but it provides a meaningful result only when there is no significant alteration in fairness during the workload. The removal of __GFP_THISNODE increased fairness. __GFP_THISNODE cannot be used in the generic page faults path for new memory allocations under the MPOL_DEFAULT mempolicy, or the allocation behavior significantly deviates from what the MPOL_DEFAULT semantics are supposed to be for THP and 4k allocations alike. Setting THP defrag to "always" or using MADV_HUGEPAGE (with THP defrag set to "madvise") has never meant to provide an implicit MPOL_BIND on the "current" node the task is running on, causing swap storms and providing a much more aggressive behavior than even zone_reclaim_node = 3. Any workload who could have benefited from __GFP_THISNODE has now to enable zone_reclaim_mode=1||2||3. __GFP_THISNODE implicitly provided the zone_reclaim_mode behavior, but it only did so if THP was enabled: if THP was disabled, there would have been no chance to get any 4k page from the current node if the current node was full of pagecache, which further shows how this __GFP_THISNODE was misplaced in MADV_HUGEPAGE. MADV_HUGEPAGE has never been intended to provide any zone_reclaim_mode semantics, in fact the two are orthogonal, zone_reclaim_mode = 1|2|3 must work exactly the same with MADV_HUGEPAGE set or not. The performance characteristic of memory depends on the hardware details. The numbers below are obtained on Naples/EPYC architecture and the N/A projection extends them to show what we should aim for in the future as a good THP NUMA locality default. The benchmark used exercises random memory seeks (note: the cost of the page faults is not part of the measurement). D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 THP | D1 4k | D2 THP | D2 4k | D3 THP | D3 4k | ... 0% | +43% | +45% | +106% | +131% | +224% | N/A | N/A D0 means distance zero (i.e. local memory), D1 means distance one (i.e. intra socket memory), D2 means distance two (i.e. inter socket memory), etc... For the guest physical memory allocated by qemu and for guest mode kernel the performance characteristic of RAM is more complex and an ideal default could be: D0 THP | D1 THP | D0 4k | D2 THP | D1 4k | D3 THP | D2 4k | D3 4k | ... 0% | +58% | +101% | N/A | +222% | N/A | N/A | N/A NOTE: the N/A are projections and haven't been measured yet, the measurement in this case is done on a 1950x with only two NUMA nodes. The THP case here means THP was used both in the host and in the guest. After applying this commit the THP NUMA locality order that we'll get out of MADV_HUGEPAGE is this: D0 THP | D1 THP | D2 THP | D3 THP | ... | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ... Before this commit it was: D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ... Even if we ignore the breakage of large workloads that can't fit in a single node that the __GFP_THISNODE implicit "current node" mbind caused, the THP NUMA locality order provided by __GFP_THISNODE was still not the one we shall aim for in the long term (i.e. the first one at the top). After this commit is applied, we can introduce a new allocator multi order API and to replace those two alloc_pages_vmas calls in the page fault path, with a single multi order call: unsigned int order = (1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER) | (1 << 0); page = alloc_pages_multi_order(..., &order); if (!page) goto out; if (!(order & (1 << 0))) { VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER); /* THP fault */ } else { VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << 0); /* 4k fallback */ } The page allocator logic has to be altered so that when it fails on any zone with order 9, it has to try again with a order 0 before falling back to the next zone in the zonelist. After that we need to do more measurements and evaluate if adding an opt-in feature for guest mode is worth it, to swap "DN 4k | DN+1 THP" with "DN+1 THP | DN 4k" at every NUMA distance crossing.

2019-08-13Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""Andrea Arcangeli3-43/+18
Patch series "reapply: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings". The fixes for what was originally reported as "pathological THP behavior" we rightfully reverted to be sure not to introduced regressions at end of a merge window after a severe regression report from the kernel bot. We can safely re-apply them now that we had time to analyze the problem. The mm process worked fine, because the good fixes were eventually committed upstream without excessive delay. The regression reported by the kernel bot however forced us to revert the good fixes to be sure not to introduce regressions and to give us the time to analyze the issue further. The silver lining is that this extra time allowed to think more at this issue and also plan for a future direction to improve things further in terms of THP NUMA locality. This patch (of 2): This reverts commit 356ff8a9a78fb35d ("Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"). So it reapplies 89c83fb539f954 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"). Consolidation of the THP allocation flags at the same place was meant to be a clean up to easier handle otherwise scattered code which is imposing a maintenance burden. There were no real problems observed with the gfp mask consolidation but the reversion was rushed through without a larger consensus regardless. This patch brings the consolidation back because this should make the long term maintainability easier as well as it should allow future changes to be less error prone.

2019-08-13mm: workingset: fix vmstat counters for shadow nodesRoman Gushchin2-6/+24
Memcg counters for shadow nodes are broken because the memcg pointer is obtained in a wrong way. The following approach is used: virt_to_page(xa_node)->mem_cgroup Since commit 4d96ba353075 ("mm: memcg/slab: stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages") page->mem_cgroup pointer isn't set for slab pages, so memcg_from_slab_page() should be used instead. Also I doubt that it ever worked correctly: virt_to_head_page() should be used instead of virt_to_page(). Otherwise objects residing on tail pages are not accounted, because only the head page contains a valid mem_cgroup pointer. That was a case since the introduction of these counters by the commit 68d48e6a2df5 ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter for shadow nodes").

2019-08-13mm/usercopy: use memory range to be accessed for wraparound checkIsaac J. Manjarres1-1/+1
Currently, when checking to see if accessing n bytes starting at address "ptr" will cause a wraparound in the memory addresses, the check in check_bogus_address() adds an extra byte, which is incorrect, as the range of addresses that will be accessed is [ptr, ptr + (n - 1)]. This can lead to incorrectly detecting a wraparound in the memory address, when trying to read 4 KB from memory that is mapped to the the last possible page in the virtual address space, when in fact, accessing that range of memory would not cause a wraparound to occur. Use the memory range that will actually be accessed when considering if accessing a certain amount of bytes will cause the memory address to wrap around.

2019-08-13mm/vmalloc.c: fix percpu free VM area search criteriaKuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan1-1/+11
Recent changes to the vmalloc code by commit 68ad4a330433 ("mm/vmalloc.c: keep track of free blocks for vmap allocation") can cause spurious percpu allocation failures. These, in turn, can result in panic()s in the slub code. One such possible panic was reported by Dave Hansen in following link https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/19/939. Another related panic observed is, RIP: 0033:0x7f46f7441b9b Call Trace: dump_stack+0x61/0x80 pcpu_alloc.cold.30+0x22/0x4f mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x110/0x650 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0x133/0x330 cgroup_mkdir+0x41b/0x500 kernfs_iop_mkdir+0x5a/0x90 vfs_mkdir+0x102/0x1b0 do_mkdirat+0x7d/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 VMALLOC memory manager divides the entire VMALLOC space (VMALLOC_START to VMALLOC_END) into multiple VM areas (struct vm_areas), and it mainly uses two lists (vmap_area_list & free_vmap_area_list) to track the used and free VM areas in VMALLOC space. And pcpu_get_vm_areas(offsets[], sizes[], nr_vms, align) function is used for allocating congruent VM areas for percpu memory allocator. In order to not conflict with VMALLOC users, pcpu_get_vm_areas allocates VM areas near the end of the VMALLOC space. So the search for free vm_area for the given requirement starts near VMALLOC_END and moves upwards towards VMALLOC_START. Prior to commit 68ad4a330433, the search for free vm_area in pcpu_get_vm_areas() involves following two main steps. Step 1: Find a aligned "base" adress near VMALLOC_END. va = free vm area near VMALLOC_END Step 2: Loop through number of requested vm_areas and check, Step 2.1: if (base < VMALLOC_START) 1. fail with error Step 2.2: // end is offsets[area] + sizes[area] if (base + end > va->vm_end) 1. Move the base downwards and repeat Step 2 Step 2.3: if (base + start < va->vm_start) 1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned base address and repeat Step 2 But Commit 68ad4a330433 removed Step 2.2 and modified Step 2.3 as below: Step 2.3: if (base + start < va->vm_start || base + end > va->vm_end) 1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned base address and repeat Step 2 Above change is the root cause of spurious percpu memory allocation failures. For example, consider a case where a relatively large vm_area (~ 30 TB) was ignored in free vm_area search because it did not pass the base + end < vm->vm_end boundary check. Ignoring such large free vm_area's would lead to not finding free vm_area within boundary of VMALLOC_start to VMALLOC_END which in turn leads to allocation failures. So modify the search algorithm to include Step 2.2.

When calling mbind(), it would scan the vma to queue the pages for migration to the new node. It would split any huge page since 4.9 doesn't support THP migration, however, the packet tx ring compound pages are not THP and even not movable. So, the above bug is triggered. However, the later kernel is not hit by this issue due to commit d44d363f6578 ("mm: don't assume anonymous pages have SwapBacked flag"), which just removes the PageSwapBacked check for a different reason. But, there is a deeper issue. According to the semantic of mbind(), it should return -EIO if MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL was specified and MPOL_MF_STRICT was also specified, but the kernel was unable to move all existing pages in the range. The tx ring of the packet socket is definitely not movable, however, mbind() returns success for this case. Although the most socket file associates with non-movable pages, but XDP may have movable pages from gup. So, it sounds not fine to just check the underlying file type of vma in vma_migratable(). Change migrate_page_add() to check if the page is movable or not, if it is unmovable, just return -EIO. But do not abort pte walk immediately, since there may be pages off LRU temporarily. We should migrate other pages if MPOL_MF_MOVE* is specified. Set has_unmovable flag if some paged could not be not moved, then return -EIO for mbind() eventually. With this change the above test would return -EIO as expected.

2019-08-13mm: mempolicy: make the behavior consistent when MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT were specifiedYang Shi1-20/+48
When both MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT was specified, mbind() should try best to migrate misplaced pages, if some of the pages could not be migrated, then return -EIO. There are three different sub-cases: 1. vma is not migratable 2. vma is migratable, but there are unmovable pages 3. vma is migratable, pages are movable, but migrate_pages() fails If #1 happens, kernel would just abort immediately, then return -EIO, after a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified"). If #3 happens, kernel would set policy and migrate pages with best-effort, but won't rollback the migrated pages and reset the policy back. Before that commit, they behaves in the same way. It'd better to keep their behavior consistent. But, rolling back the migrated pages and resetting the policy back sounds not feasible, so just make #1 behave as same as #3. Userspace will know that not everything was successfully migrated (via -EIO), and can take whatever steps it deems necessary - attempt rollback, determine which exact page(s) are violating the policy, etc. Make queue_pages_range() return 1 to indicate there are unmovable pages or vma is not migratable. The #2 is not handled correctly in the current kernel, the following patch will fix it.

2019-08-13mm/hmm: fix bad subpage pointer in try_to_unmap_oneRalph Campbell1-0/+8
When migrating an anonymous private page to a ZONE_DEVICE private page, the source page->mapping and page->index fields are copied to the destination ZONE_DEVICE struct page and the page_mapcount() is increased. This is so rmap_walk() can be used to unmap and migrate the page back to system memory. However, try_to_unmap_one() computes the subpage pointer from a swap pte which computes an invalid page pointer and a kernel panic results such as: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffea1fffffffc8 Currently, only single pages can be migrated to device private memory so no subpage computation is needed and it can be set to "page".

2019-08-13mm/hmm: fix ZONE_DEVICE anon page mapping reuseRalph Campbell1-0/+24
When a ZONE_DEVICE private page is freed, the page->mapping field can be set. If this page is reused as an anonymous page, the previous value can prevent the page from being inserted into the CPU's anon rmap table. For example, when migrating a pte_none() page to device memory: migrate_vma(ops, vma, start, end, src, dst, private) migrate_vma_collect() src[] = MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE migrate_vma_prepare() /* no page to lock or isolate so OK */ migrate_vma_unmap() /* no page to unmap so OK */ ops->alloc_and_copy() /* driver allocates ZONE_DEVICE page for dst[] */ migrate_vma_pages() migrate_vma_insert_page() page_add_new_anon_rmap() __page_set_anon_rmap() /* This check sees the page's stale mapping field */ if (PageAnon(page)) return /* page->mapping is not updated */ The result is that the migration appears to succeed but a subsequent CPU fault will be unable to migrate the page back to system memory or worse. Clear the page->mapping field when freeing the ZONE_DEVICE page so stale pointer data doesn't affect future page use.

2019-08-03mm: compaction: avoid 100% CPU usage during compaction when a task is killedMel Gorman1-4/+7

The problem is that when a task that is compacting receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending. It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on the basis that the timing is altered. A very small window has to be hit for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX). This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30% zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits). Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short window. With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed normally instead of consuming CPU. This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit cf66f0700c8f ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention"). Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.

2019-08-03mm: migrate: fix reference check race between __find_get_block() and migrationJan Kara1-1/+3
buffer_migrate_page_norefs() can race with bh users in the following way: CPU1 CPU2 buffer_migrate_page_norefs() buffer_migrate_lock_buffers() checks bh refs spin_unlock(&mapping->private_lock) __find_get_block() spin_lock(&mapping->private_lock) grab bh ref spin_unlock(&mapping->private_lock) move page do bh work This can result in various issues like lost updates to buffers (i.e. metadata corruption) or use after free issues for the old page. This patch closes the race by holding mapping->private_lock while the mapping is being moved to a new page. Ordinarily, a reference can be taken outside of the private_lock using the per-cpu BH LRU but the references are checked and the LRU invalidated if necessary. The private_lock is held once the references are known so the buffer lookup slow path will spin on the private_lock. Between the page lock and private_lock, it should be impossible for other references to be acquired and updates to happen during the migration. A user had reported data corruption issues on a distribution kernel with a similar page migration implementation as mainline. The data corruption could not be reproduced with this patch applied. A small number of migration-intensive tests were run and no performance problems were noted.

Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with "cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even though memcg is actually NULL. The drop_caches is also broken. It is because commit aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before !mem_cgroup_is_root(). And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter. Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.

2019-07-22mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()Joerg Roedel1-0/+9
On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables are not shared between processes. This can cause mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap area to persist in some page-tables after the region is unmapped and released. When the region is re-used the processes with the old mappings do not fault in the new mappings but still access the old ones. This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data corruption, kernel oopses and panics and even spontaneous reboots. Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the vmalloc/ioremap area to all page-tables in the system before the regions can be re-used.

For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section: # cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory 100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM 200000000-303ffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy) 304000000-43fffffff : System RAM 440000000-23ffffffff : Persistent Memory 2400000000-43bfffffff : Persistent Memory 2400000000-43bfffffff : namespace2.0 WARNING: CPU: 38 PID: 928 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:850 add_pages+0x5c/0x60 [..] RIP: 0010:add_pages+0x5c/0x60 [..] Call Trace: devm_memremap_pages+0x460/0x6e0 pmem_attach_disk+0x29e/0x680 [nd_pmem] ? nd_dax_probe+0xfc/0x120 [libnvdimm] nvdimm_bus_probe+0x66/0x160 [libnvdimm] It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section. The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long while. A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1], address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation. Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM' before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.
