rbtree users must use the documented APIs to manipulate the tree structure.

The recently added code to use rbtrees in sysctl did not follow the proper rbtree interface on insertion - it was calling rb_link_node() which inserts a new node into the binary tree, but missed the call to rb_insert_color() which properly balances the rbtree and establishes all expected rbtree invariants. I found out about this only because faulty commit also used rb_init_node(), which I am removing within this patchset. But I think it's an easy mistake to make, and it makes me wonder if we should change the rbtree API so that insertions would be done with a single rb_insert() call (even if its implementation could still inline the rb_link_node() part and call a private __rb_insert_color function to do the rebalancing).

Empty nodes have no color. We can make use of this property to simplify the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros. Also, we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by commit 88d19cf3 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not being initialized. I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are doing there, though. axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f2 ("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev"). The way I see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense. One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to implement faster sysctl name lookups. This code doesn't make use of RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was required before node insertion.

I recently started looking at the rbtree code (with an eye towards improving the augmented rbtree support, but I haven't gotten there yet). I noticed a lot of possible speed improvements, which I am now proposing in this patch set. Patches 1-4 are preparatory: remove internal functions from rbtree.h so that users won't be tempted to use them instead of the documented APIs, clean up some incorrect usages I've noticed (in particular, with the recently added fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c rbtree usage), reference the documentation so that people have one less excuse to miss it, etc. Patch 5 is a small module I wrote to check the rbtree performance. It creates 100 nodes with random keys and repeatedly inserts and erases them from an rbtree. Additionally, it has code to check for rbtree invariants after each insert or erase operation. Patches 6-12 is where the rbtree optimizations are done, and they touch only that one file, lib/rbtree.c . I am getting good results out of these - in my small benchmark doing rbtree insertion (including search) and erase, I'm seeing a 30% runtime reduction on Sandybridge E5, which is more than I initially thought would be possible. (the results aren't as impressive on my two other test hosts though, AMD barcelona and Intel Westmere, where I am seeing 14% runtime reduction only). The code size - both source (ommiting comments) and compiled - is also shorter after these changes. However, I do admit that the updated code is more arduous to read - one big reason for that is the removal of the tree rotation helpers, which added some overhead but also made it easier to reason about things locally. Overall, I believe this is an acceptable compromise, given that this code doesn't get modified very often, and that I have good tests for it. Upon Peter's suggestion, I added comments showing the rtree configuration before every rotation. I think they help; however it's still best to have a copy of the cormen/leiserson/rivest book when digging into this code. This patch: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions include/linux/rbtree.h included some basic usage instructions, while Documentation/rbtree.txt had some more complete and easier to follow instructions. Replacing the former with a reference to the latter.

Commit d6629859 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv") and ce2d52cc ("ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support") introduced an rbtree of message priorities, and usage of rb_init_node() to initialize the corresponding nodes. As it turns out, rb_init_node() is unnecessary here, as the nodes are fully initialized on insertion by rb_link_node() and the code doesn't access nodes that aren't inserted on the rbtree. Removing the rb_init_node() calls as I removed that function during rbtree API cleanups (the only other use of it was in a place that similarly didn't require it).

This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390. It provides the pagetable pre-allocation functions pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and pgtable_trans_huge_withdraw(). Unlike other archs, s390 has no struct page * as pgtable_t, but rather a pointer to the page table. So instead of saving the pagetable pre- allocation list info inside the struct page, it is being saved within the pagetable itself.

This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390. It provides the functions related to thp splitting, including serialization against gup. Unlike other archs, pmdp_splitting_flush() cannot use a tlb flushing operation to serialize against gup on s390, because that wouldn't be stopped by the disabled IRQs.

The thp page table pre-allocation code currently assumes that pgtable_t is of type "struct page *". This may not be true for all architectures, so this patch removes that assumption by replacing the functions prepare_pmd_huge_pte() and get_pmd_huge_pte() with two new functions that can be defined architecture-specific. It also removes two VM_BUG_ON checks for page_count() and page_mapcount() operating on a pgtable_t. Apart from the VM_BUG_ON removal, there will be no functional change introduced by this patch.

Cleanup patch in preparation for transparent hugepage support on s390. Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can make the "depends" line rather ugly, like "depends on (X86 || (S390 && 64BIT)) && MMU". This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead. x86 already has MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS) rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into userspace. This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages, since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the pool. This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page is freed into the pool.

With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule() as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier structure while it is currently being used. Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm. So all mms share a global srcu.

There is a bug in set_pte_at_notify() which always sets the pte to the new page before releasing the old page in the secondary MMU. At this time, the process will access on the new page, but the secondary MMU still access on the old page, the memory is inconsistent between them The below scenario shows the bug more clearly: at the beginning: *p = 0, and p is write-protected by KSM or shared with parent process CPU 0 CPU 1 write 1 to p to trigger COW, set_pte_at_notify will be called: *pte = new_page + W; /* The W bit of pte is set */ *p = 1; /* pte is valid, so no #PF */ return back to secondary MMU, then the secondary MMU read p, but get: *p == 0; /* * !!!!!! * the host has already set p to 1, but the secondary * MMU still get the old value 0 */ call mmu_notifier_change_pte to release old page in secondary MMU We can fix it by release old page first, then set the pte to the new page. Note, the new page will be firstly used in secondary MMU before it is mapped into the page table of the process, but this is safe because it is protected by the page table lock, there is no race to change the pte [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add comment from Andrea] Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit cc9a6c87 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3") introduced a potential memory corruption. shmem_alloc_page() uses a pseudo vma and it has one significant unique combination, vma->vm_ops=NULL and vma->policy->flags & MPOL_F_SHARED. get_vma_policy() does NOT increase a policy ref when vma->vm_ops=NULL and mpol_cond_put() DOES decrease a policy ref when a policy has MPOL_F_SHARED. Therefore, when a cpuset update race occurs, alloc_pages_vma() falls in 'goto retry_cpuset' path, decrements the reference count and frees the policy prematurely.

When shared_policy_replace() fails to allocate new->policy is not freed correctly by mpol_set_shared_policy(). The problem is that shared mempolicy code directly call kmem_cache_free() in multiple places where it is easy to make a mistake. This patch creates an sp_free wrapper function and uses it. The bug was introduced pre-git age (IOW, before 2.6.12-rc2).

shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

In the following case mbind(addr, len) should replace the memory policies of both vma1 and vma2 and thus they will become to share the same mempolicy and the new mempolicy will have the MPOL_F_SHARED flag. +-------------------+-------------------+ | vma1 | vma2(shmem) | +-------------------+-------------------+ | | addr addr+len alloc_pages_vma() uses get_vma_policy() and mpol_cond_put() pair for maintaining the mempolicy reference count. The current rule is that get_vma_policy() only increments refcount for shmem VMA and mpol_conf_put() only decrements refcount if the policy has MPOL_F_SHARED. In above case, vma1 is not shmem vma and vma->policy has MPOL_F_SHARED! The reference count will be decreased even though was not increased whenever alloc_page_vma() is called. This has been broken since commit [52cd3b07: mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting] in 2008. There is another serious bug with the sharing of memory policies. Currently, mempolicy rebind logic (it is called from cpuset rebinding) ignores a refcount of mempolicy and override it forcibly. Thus, any mempolicy sharing may cause mempolicy corruption. The bug was introduced by commit [68860ec1: cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy rebinding]. Ideally, the shared policy handling would be rewritten to either properly handle COW of the policy structures or at least reference count MPOL_F_SHARED based exclusively on information within the policy. However, this patch takes the easier approach of disabling any policy sharing between VMAs. Each new range allocated with sp_alloc will allocate a new policy, set the reference count to 1 and drop the reference count of the old policy. This increases the memory footprint but is not expected to be a major problem as mbind() is unlikely to be used for fine-grained ranges. It is also inefficient because it means we allocate a new policy even in cases where mbind_range() could use the new_policy passed to it. However, it is more straight-forward and the change should be invisible to the user.

Commit 05f144a0 ("mm: mempolicy: Let vma_merge and vma_split handle vma->vm_policy linkages") removed vma->vm_policy updates code but it is the purpose of mbind_range(). Now, mbind_range() is virtually a no-op and while it does not allow memory corruption it is not the right fix. This patch is a revert.

While compaction is migrating pages to free up large contiguous blocks for allocation it races with other allocation requests that may steal these blocks or break them up. This patch alters direct compaction to capture a suitable free page as soon as it becomes available to reduce this race. It uses similar logic to split_free_page() to ensure that watermarks are still obeyed.

If allocation fails after compaction then compaction may be deferred for a number of allocation attempts. If there are subsequent failures, compact_defer_shift is increased to defer for longer periods. This patch uses that information to scale the number of pages reclaimed with compact_defer_shift until allocations succeed again. The rationale is that reclaiming the normal number of pages still allowed compaction to fail and its success depends on the number of pages. If it's failing, reclaim more pages until it succeeds again. Note that this is not implying that VM reclaim is not reclaiming enough pages or that its logic is broken. try_to_free_pages() always asks for SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages to be reclaimed regardless of order and that is what it does. Direct reclaim stops normally with this check. if (sc->nr_reclaimed >= sc->nr_to_reclaim) goto out; should_continue_reclaim delays when that check is made until a minimum number of pages for reclaim/compaction are reclaimed. It is possible that this patch could instead set nr_to_reclaim in try_to_free_pages() and drive it from there but that's behaves differently and not necessarily for the better. If driven from do_try_to_free_pages(), it is also possible that priorities will rise. When they reach DEF_PRIORITY-2, it will also start stalling and setting pages for immediate reclaim which is more disruptive than not desirable in this case. That is a more wide-reaching change that could cause another regression related to THP requests causing interactive jitter.
