      xfs: XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE() should be false if no rt device present · b31ff3cd
      Richard Wareing 提交于
      If using a kernel with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and we set the RHINHERIT flag on
      a directory in a filesystem that does not have a realtime device and
      create a new file in that directory, it gets marked as a real time file.
      When data is written and a fsync is issued, the filesystem attempts to
      flush a non-existent rt device during the fsync process.
      
      This results in a crash dereferencing a null buftarg pointer in
      xfs_blkdev_issue_flush():
      
        BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
        IP: xfs_blkdev_issue_flush+0xd/0x20
        .....
        Call Trace:
          xfs_file_fsync+0x188/0x1c0
          vfs_fsync_range+0x3b/0xa0

      Setting RT inode flags does not require special privileges so any
      unprivileged user can cause this oops to occur.  To reproduce, confirm
      kernel is compiled with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and run:
      
        # mkfs.xfs -f /dev/pmem0
        # mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt/test
        # mkdir /mnt/test/foo
        # xfs_io -c 'chattr +t' /mnt/test/foo
        # xfs_io -f -c 'pwrite 0 5m' -c fsync /mnt/test/foo/bar
      
      Or just run xfstests with MKFS_OPTIONS="-d rtinherit=1" and wait.
      
      Kernels built with CONFIG_XFS_RT=n are not exposed to this bug.

      dax: use common 4k zero page for dax mmap reads · 91d25ba8
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code
      allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page
      pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree.
      
      This has three major drawbacks:
      
      1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via
         a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This
         means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of
         zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall
         memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps:
      
      	7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12   /root/dax/data
      	Size:            1048576 kB
      	Rss:             1048576 kB
      	Pss:             1048576 kB
      	Shared_Clean:          0 kB
      	Shared_Dirty:          0 kB
      	Private_Clean:   1048576 kB
      	Private_Dirty:         0 kB
      	Referenced:      1048576 kB
      	Anonymous:             0 kB
      	LazyFree:              0 kB
      	AnonHugePages:         0 kB
      	ShmemPmdMapped:        0 kB
      	Shared_Hugetlb:        0 kB
      	Private_Hugetlb:       0 kB
      	Swap:                  0 kB
      	SwapPss:               0 kB
      	KernelPageSize:        4 kB
      	MMUPageSize:           4 kB
      	Locked:                0 kB
      
      2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault
         has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we
         have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here
         are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on
         a random test box:
      
          Old method, using zeroed page cache pages:	3.4 us
          New method, using the common 4k zero page:	0.8 us
      
         This was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by
         this simple fio script:
      
           [global]
           size=1G
           filename=/root/dax/data
           fallocate=none
           [io]
           rw=read
           ioengine=mmap
      
      3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and
         for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more
         complex.
      
      Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a
      common 4k zero page instead.  As with the PMD code we will now insert a
      DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page
      pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX
      code.
      
      Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the
      DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in
      the page.  If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that
      most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has
      happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early
      and fail loudly.
      
      This solution also removes the extra memory consumption.  Here is that
      same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new
      code:
      
      	7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12   /root/dax/data
      	Size:            1048576 kB
      	Rss:                   0 kB
      	Pss:                   0 kB
      	Shared_Clean:          0 kB
      	Shared_Dirty:          0 kB
      	Private_Clean:         0 kB
      	Private_Dirty:         0 kB
      	Referenced:            0 kB
      	Anonymous:             0 kB
      	LazyFree:              0 kB
      	AnonHugePages:         0 kB
      	ShmemPmdMapped:        0 kB
      	Shared_Hugetlb:        0 kB
      	Private_Hugetlb:       0 kB
      	Swap:                  0 kB
      	SwapPss:               0 kB
      	KernelPageSize:        4 kB
      	MMUPageSize:           4 kB
      	Locked:                0 kB
      
      Overall system memory consumption is similarly improved.
      
      Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault
      flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty
      and writeable.  The following description from the patch adding the
      vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more:
      
         "To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our
          PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry
          can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather
          than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() =>
          finish_mkwrite_fault() call.
      
          Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we
          can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():
      
                  case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
                  case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage
      
          This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page()
          returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does
          for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case
          we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches
          our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.
          We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection
          faults.
      
          This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of
          insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If
          'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously
          done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path"
