Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems. If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse memory section map: for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) { unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn); struct mem_section *ms; sparse_index_init(section, nid); set_section_nid(section, nid); ms = __nr_to_section(section); if (!ms->section_mem_map) ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) | SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT; 'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it. The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1: mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<<0) The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to sparsemem. This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself), but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be. An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or trimmed memory ranges.

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY. N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always "true") This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node. Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the memory controller. By default the option is on for the following two reasons: 1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory controller turns on if the config option is enabled 2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config option is enabled We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource controller specific files.

Revert commit f1a9ee75: Author: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Date: Thu Feb 7 00:14:08 2008 -0800 kswapd should only wait on IO if there is IO The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight. This problem is notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages, causing unnecessary stalls in the VM. Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be written out. This gives kswapd a chance to write out those pages, while the direct reclaim task sleeps.

With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be freed wrongly. For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some range afterwards. With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes. This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx and eidx according the ram range that the node has. And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem directly.

Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a page will be handed to the caller with a correct count. This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when the page count is validated. Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method. I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once I repost it. 1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being noticed. Fix: add the conditional release of the reference. 2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out. Fix: add the necessary check to the release. 3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()' methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy. This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations. Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill) is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq block that it inherited from its caller. As a result those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the process to another numa node occured while the irq block had been dropped. The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block. The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur, one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in check_spinlock_acquired: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417 cache_alloc_refill+0xe6 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0 ...

SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this. The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64 bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly 2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB). Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NChristoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset is checked. This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there. There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset. >From previous discussions on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that should not be restricted by cpusets. So allow shrinking the pool by removing pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages. Consider the following series of events in processes A and B: A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation B) Frees some huge pages A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator. B) Allocates some huge pages A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages() Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but before dropping the lock to free excess pages. For parity, release the reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages(). This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in hugetlb_acct_memory(). If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may have been allocated to back the failed reservation.

While testing force_empty, during an exit_mmap, __mem_cgroup_remove_list called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page oopsed on a NULL pointer in the lru list. I couldn't see what racing tasks on other cpus were doing, but surmise that another must have been in mem_cgroup_charge_common on the same page, between its unlock_page_cgroup and spin_lock_irqsave near done (thanks to that kzalloc which I'd almost changed to a kmalloc). Normally such a race cannot happen, the ref_cnt prevents it, the final uncharge cannot race with the initial charge. But force_empty buggers the ref_cnt, that's what it's all about; and thereafter forced pages are vulnerable to races such as this (just think of a shared page also mapped into an mm of another mem_cgroup than that just emptied). And remain vulnerable until they're freed indefinitely later. This patch just fixes the oops by moving the unlock_page_cgroups down below adding to and removing from the list (only possible given the previous patch); and while we're at it, we might as well make it an invariant that page->page_cgroup is always set while pc is on lru. But this behaviour of force_empty seems highly unsatisfactory to me: why have a ref_cnt if we always have to cope with it being violated (as in the earlier page migration patch). We may prefer force_empty to move pages to an orphan mem_cgroup (could be the root, but better not), from which other cgroups could recover them; we might need to reverse the locking again; but no time now for such concerns.

As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler. It is possible to make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing page_cgroups by itself. The tip is to call get_page() before invoking mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this function. Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges, the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the same as when it hasn't gone to another list. And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock, mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).

Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines, sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last. The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole independently. The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for comments on the constraints. This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we need to come back to it later?

mem_cgroup_uncharge_page does css_put on the mem_cgroup before uncharging from it, and before removing page_cgroup from one of its lru lists: isn't there a danger that struct mem_cgroup memory could be freed and reused before completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be defensive and reverse the ordering there. mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help get in the habit of doing it like this.

Remove clear_page_cgroup: it's an unhelpful helper, see for example how mem_cgroup_uncharge_page had to unlock_page_cgroup just in order to call it (serious races from that? I'm not sure). Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?). Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

More cleanup to memcontrol.c, this time changing some of the code generated. Let the compiler decide what to inline (except for page_cgroup_locked which is only used when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM): the __always_inline on lock_page_cgroup etc. was quite a waste since bit_spin_lock etc. are inlines in a header file; made mem_cgroup_force_empty and mem_cgroup_write_strategy static.
