      mm: filemap: check if THP has hwpoisoned subpage for PMD page fault · eac96c3e
      由 Yang Shi 提交于 
      When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be
PMD mapped if certain conditions are satisfied.  But kernel is supposed
to send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.

There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular
fault.

Before commit f9ce0be7 ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path.  The THP
could be PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is
accessed and corrupted.  After this commit as long as head page is not
corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped.

In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the
corrupted page is not accessed and the VMA fits.

This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any
of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault
path.

So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail
page.  It indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s).  It is set if any
subpage of THP is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the
refcount is bumped successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or
split.

The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just
marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully.
But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.

      mm, slub: do initial checks in ___slab_alloc() with irqs enabled · 0b303fb4
      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      As another step of shortening irq disabled sections in ___slab_alloc(), delay
disabling irqs until we pass the initial checks if there is a cached percpu
slab and it's suitable for our allocation.

Now we have to recheck c->page after actually disabling irqs as an allocation
in irq handler might have replaced it.

Because we call pfmemalloc_match() as one of the checks, we might hit
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageSlab(page)) in PageSlabPfmemalloc in case we get
interrupted and the page is freed. Thus introduce a pfmemalloc_match_unsafe()
variant that lacks the PageSlab check.

      mm: introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) to synchronize setting PageOffline() · 82840451
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      A driver might set a page logically offline -- PageOffline() -- and turn
the page inaccessible in the hypervisor; after that, access to page
content can be fatal.  One example is virtio-mem; while unplugged memory
-- marked as PageOffline() can currently be read in the hypervisor, this
will no longer be the case in the future; for example, when having a
virtio-mem device backed by huge pages in the hypervisor.

Some special PFN walkers -- i.e., /proc/kcore -- read content of random
pages after checking PageOffline(); however, these PFN walkers can race
with drivers that set PageOffline().

Let's introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) for synchronizing.

page_offline_freeze()/page_offline_thaw() allows for a subsystem to
synchronize with such drivers, achieving that a page cannot be set
PageOffline() while frozen.

page_offline_begin()/page_offline_end() is used by drivers that care about
such races when setting a page PageOffline().

For simplicity, use a rwsem for now; neither drivers nor users are
performance sensitive.

      fs/proc/kcore: don't read offline sections, logically offline pages and hwpoisoned pages · 0daa322b
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      Let's avoid reading:

1) Offline memory sections: the content of offline memory sections is
   stale as the memory is effectively unused by the kernel.  On s390x with
   standby memory, offline memory sections (belonging to offline storage
   increments) are not accessible.  With virtio-mem and the hyper-v
   balloon, we can have unavailable memory chunks that should not be
   accessed inside offline memory sections.  Last but not least, offline
   memory sections might contain hwpoisoned pages which we can no longer
   identify because the memmap is stale.

2) PG_offline pages: logically offline pages that are documented as
   "The content of these pages is effectively stale.  Such pages should
   not be touched (read/write/dump/save) except by their owner.".
   Examples include pages inflated in a balloon or unavailble memory
   ranges inside hotplugged memory sections with virtio-mem or the hyper-v
   balloon.

3) PG_hwpoison pages: Reading pages marked as hwpoisoned can be fatal.
   As documented: "Accessing is not safe since it may cause another
   machine check.  Don't touch!"

Introduce is_page_hwpoison(), adding a comment that it is inherently racy
but best we can really do.

Reading /proc/kcore now performs similar checks as when reading
/proc/vmcore for kdump via makedumpfile: problematic pages are exclude.
It's also similar to hibernation code, however, we don't skip hwpoisoned
pages when processing pages in kernel/power/snapshot.c:saveable_page()
yet.

Note 1: we can race against memory offlining code, especially memory going
offline and getting unplugged: however, we will properly tear down the
identity mapping and handle faults gracefully when accessing this memory
from kcore code.

Note 2: we can race against drivers setting PageOffline() and turning
memory inaccessible in the hypervisor.  We'll handle this in a follow-up
patch.

      mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for in-use pages · 79f5f8fa
      由 Oscar Salvador 提交于 
      This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages.  Until
now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that
the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and
would skip that page.

This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like
compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist.

Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the
buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that
are ready and meant to be used as such.

Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages
we can soft offline.

- Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages)
- Hugetlb
- Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited)

* Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP)

  - If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate
    then by means of invalidate_inode_page().
  - If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance.

Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths.  Instead, we
keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right
handling.

page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page.

Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in
free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages
do not end up in any pcplist/freelist.

After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment
the poisoned pages counter.

If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can
always do what we do for free pages:

  - wait until the page hits buddy's freelists
  - take it off, and flag it

The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an
allocation, so by the time we  want to take the page off the buddy, the
page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it.
But the user could always retry it.

* Hugetlb pages

  - We isolate-and-migrate them

After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page,
and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed.
Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though.

While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an
allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional
and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other
places).
So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail
normally if the page we allocated in the meantime.

We can always build on top of this.

As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer
need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned
pages to end up in pcplists.

      mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for free pages · 06be6ff3
      由 Oscar Salvador 提交于 
      When trying to soft-offline a free page, we need to first take it off the
buddy allocator.  Once we know is out of reach, we can safely flag it as
poisoned.

take_page_off_buddy will be used to take a page meant to be poisoned off
the buddy allocator.  take_page_off_buddy calls break_down_buddy_pages,
which splits a higher-order page in case our page belongs to one.

Once the page is under our control, we call page_handle_poison to set it
as poisoned and grab a refcount on it.

      mm: Allow to offline unmovable PageOffline() pages via MEM_GOING_OFFLINE · aa218795
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      virtio-mem wants to allow to offline memory blocks of which some parts
were unplugged (allocated via alloc_contig_range()), especially, to later
offline and remove completely unplugged memory blocks. The important part
is that PageOffline() has to remain set until the section is offline, so
these pages will never get accessed (e.g., when dumping). The pages should
not be handed back to the buddy (which would require clearing PageOffline()
and result in issues if offlining fails and the pages are suddenly in the
buddy).

Let's allow to do that by allowing to isolate any PageOffline() page
when offlining. This way, we can reach the memory hotplug notifier
MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, where the driver can signal that he is fine with
offlining this page by dropping its reference count. PageOffline() pages
with a reference count of 0 can then be skipped when offlining the
pages (like if they were free, however they are not in the buddy).

Anybody who uses PageOffline() pages and does not agree to offline them
(e.g., Hyper-V balloon, XEN balloon, VMWare balloon for 2MB pages) will not
decrement the reference count and make offlining fail when trying to
migrate such an unmovable page. So there should be no observable change.
Same applies to balloon compaction users (movable PageOffline() pages), the
pages will simply be migrated.

Note 1: If offlining fails, a driver has to increment the reference
	count again in MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE.

Note 2: A driver that makes use of this has to be aware that re-onlining
	the memory block has to be handled by hooking into onlining code
	(online_page_callback_t), resetting the page PageOffline() and
	not giving them to the buddy.

      mm: introduce Reported pages · 36e66c55
      由 Alexander Duyck 提交于 
      In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned.  To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.

To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function.  As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.

The process for reporting pages is fairly simple.  Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future.  That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.

When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages.  To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.

It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist.  Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.

The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone.  Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing.  If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.

And some benchmarks do worse than with anonymous THPs.

By digging into the code we figured out that commit 127393fb ("mm:
thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled") checks if
there is a single PTE mapping on the page for anonymous THP when setting
up EPT map.  But the _mapcount < 0 check doesn't work for page cache THP
since every subpage of page cache THP would get _mapcount inc'ed once it
is PMD mapped, so PageTransCompoundMap() always returns false for page
cache THP.  This would prevent KVM from setting up PMD mapped EPT entry.

So we need handle page cache THP correctly.  However, when page cache
THP's PMD gets split, kernel just remove the map instead of setting up
PTE map like what anonymous THP does.  Before KVM calls get_user_pages()
the subpages may get PTE mapped even though it is still a THP since the
page cache THP may be mapped by other processes at the mean time.

Checking its _mapcount and whether the THP has PTE mapped or not.
Although this may report some false negative cases (PTE mapped by other
processes), it looks not trivial to make this accurate.

With this fix /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage would show reasonable
pages are PMD mapped by EPT as the below:

  7fbeaee00000-7fbfaee00000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 275464 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.SKUvat (deleted)

And the benchmarks are as same as anonymous THPs.

      mm: better document PG_reserved · 6e2e07cd
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      The usage of PG_reserved and how PG_reserved pages are to be treated is
buried deep down in different parts of the kernel.  Let's shine some
light onto these details by documenting current users and expected
behavior.

Especially, clarify on the "Some of them might not even exist" case.
These are physical memory gaps that will never be dumped as they are not
marked as IORESOURCE_SYSRAM.  PG_reserved does in general not hinder
anybody from dumping or swapping.  In some cases, these pages will not
be stored in the hibernation image.
