      KVM: MMU: Fix mmu_shrink() so that it can free mmu pages as intended · 35f2d16b
      Takuya Yoshikawa 提交于
      Although the possible race described in
      
        commit 85b70591
        KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu
      
      was correct, the real cause of that issue was a more trivial bug of
      mmu_shrink() introduced by
      
        commit 19526396
        KVM: MMU: do not iterate over all VMs in mmu_shrink()
      
      Here is the bug:
      
      	if (kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages > 0) {
      		if (!nr_to_scan--)
      			break;
      		continue;
      	}
      
      We skip VMs whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero and try to shrink others:
      in other words we try to shrink empty ones by mistake.
      
      This patch reverses the logic so that mmu_shrink() can free pages from
      the first VM whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero.  Note that we also add
      comments explaining the role of nr_to_scan which is not practically
      important now, hoping this will be improved in the future.

      x86/alternatives: Fix p6 nops on non-modular kernels · cb09cad4
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      Probably a leftover from the early days of self-patching, p6nops
      are marked __initconst_or_module, which causes them to be
      discarded in a non-modular kernel.  If something later triggers
      patching, it will overwrite kernel code with garbage.

      x86/fixup_irq: Use cpu_online_mask instead of cpu_all_mask · 2530cd4f
      Liu, Chuansheng 提交于
      When one CPU is going down and this CPU is the last one in irq
      affinity, current code is setting cpu_all_mask as the new
      affinity for that irq.
      
      But for some systems (such as in Medfield Android mobile) the
      firmware sends the interrupt to each CPU in the irq affinity
      mask, averaged, and cpu_all_mask includes all potential CPUs,
      i.e. offline ones as well.
      
      So replace cpu_all_mask with cpu_online_mask.

      mm: hugetlbfs: correctly populate shared pmd · eb48c071
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
      accounted for in _mapcount.  Normally the rules for this are
      straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
      table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
      remains the same.
      
      If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
      Larry Woodman:

      During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
      shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte.  The logic is if
      the PMD page is the same, they must be shared.  This assumes that the
      sharing is between the parent and child.  However, if the sharing is
      with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
      diagram:
      
        parent
          |
          ------------>pmd
                       src_pte----------> data page
                                              ^
        other--------->pmd--------------------|
                        ^
        child-----------|
                       dst_pte
      
      For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
      have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other.  This is
      possible due to the following style of race.
      
        PROC A                                          PROC B
        copy_hugetlb_page_range                         copy_hugetlb_page_range
          src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset
          !src_pte so no sharing                          !src_pte so no sharing
      
        (time passes)
      
        hugetlb_fault                                   hugetlb_fault
          huge_pte_alloc                                  huge_pte_alloc
            huge_pmd_share                                 huge_pmd_share
              LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
              find nothing, no sharing
              UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                            LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                            find nothing, no sharing
                                                            UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
            pmd_alloc                                       pmd_alloc
            LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
            fault
            UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                        LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                        fault
                                                        UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
      
      These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
      sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed.  When either
      process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
      As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
      (harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
      shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.
      
      This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
      which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
      section as pmd.  This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
      huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
      success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
      and pmd populated together.
      
      Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.
