DAX is not so special: we need i_mmap_lock to protect mapping->i_mmap. __dax_pmd_fault() uses unmap_mapping_range() shoot out zero page from all mappings. We need to drop i_mmap_lock there to avoid lock deadlock. Re-aquiring the lock should be fine since we check i_size after the point. Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

If two threads write-fault on the same hole at the same time, the winner of the race will return to userspace and complete their store, only to have the loser overwrite their store with zeroes. Fix this for now by taking the i_mmap_sem for write instead of read, and do so outside the call to get_block(). Now the loser of the race will see the block has already been zeroed, and will not zero it again. This severely limits our scalability. I have ideas for improving it, but those can wait for a later patch.

special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken. It seems it was always wrong, but this didn't matter until vdso/vvar started to use more than one page. And after this change vma_is_anonymous() becomes really trivial, it simply checks vm_ops == NULL. However, I do think the helper makes sense. There are a lot of ->vm_ops != NULL checks, the helper makes the caller's code more understandable (self-documented) and this is more grep-friendly. This patch (of 3): Preparation. Add the new simple helper, vma_is_anonymous(vma), and change handle_pte_fault() to use it. It will have more users. The name is not accurate, say a hpet_mmap()'ed vma is not anonymous. Perhaps it should be named vma_has_fault() instead. But it matches the logic in mmap.c/memory.c (see next changes). "True" just means that a page fault will use do_anonymous_page().

This is where the page faults must be modified to call handle_userfault() if userfaultfd_missing() is true (so if the vma->vm_flags had VM_UFFD_MISSING set). handle_userfault() then takes care of blocking the page fault and delivering it to userland. The fault flags must also be passed as parameter so the "read|write" kind of fault can be passed to userland.

Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with do_anonymous_page(). Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not shared. For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops, page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS. Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

Historically memcg overhead was high even if memcg was unused. This has improved a lot but it still showed up in a profile summary as being a problem. /usr/src/linux-4.0-vanilla/mm/memcontrol.c 6.6441 395842 mem_cgroup_try_charge 2.950% 175781 __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.431% 85239 mem_cgroup_page_lruvec 0.456% 27156 mem_cgroup_commit_charge 0.392% 23342 uncharge_list 0.323% 19256 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size 0.278% 16538 memcg_check_events 0.216% 12858 mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.188% 11172 try_charge 0.150% 8928 commit_charge 0.141% 8388 get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.121% 7184 That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge. The annotation shows that the bulk of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot but is very expensive. The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate is called just before the check which is a write barrier. It is required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace. memcg charging does not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so this patch attempts the charging before the barrier. Aside from the accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is avoided if the page cannot be charged. When applied the relevant profile summary is as follows. /usr/src/linux-4.0-chargefirst-v2r1/mm/memcontrol.c 3.7907 223277 __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.143% 67312 mem_cgroup_page_lruvec 0.465% 27403 mem_cgroup_commit_charge 0.381% 22452 uncharge_list 0.332% 19543 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size 0.284% 16704 get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.271% 15952 mem_cgroup_try_charge 0.237% 13982 memcg_check_events 0.222% 13058 mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.185% 10920 commit_charge 0.140% 8235 try_charge 0.131% 7716 That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement. The difference in headline performance of the page fault microbench is marginal as memcg is such a small component of it. pft faults 4.0.0 4.0.0 vanilla chargefirst Hmean faults/cpu-1 1443258.1051 ( 0.00%) 1509075.7561 ( 4.56%) Hmean faults/cpu-3 1340385.9270 ( 0.00%) 1339160.7113 ( -0.09%) Hmean faults/cpu-5 875599.0222 ( 0.00%) 874174.1255 ( -0.16%) Hmean faults/cpu-7 601146.6726 ( 0.00%) 601370.9977 ( 0.04%) Hmean faults/cpu-8 510728.2754 ( 0.00%) 510598.8214 ( -0.03%) Hmean faults/sec-1 1432084.7845 ( 0.00%) 1497935.5274 ( 4.60%) Hmean faults/sec-3 3943818.1437 ( 0.00%) 3941920.1520 ( -0.05%) Hmean faults/sec-5 3877573.5867 ( 0.00%) 3869385.7553 ( -0.21%) Hmean faults/sec-7 3991832.0418 ( 0.00%) 3992181.4189 ( 0.01%) Hmean faults/sec-8 3987189.8167 ( 0.00%) 3986452.2204 ( -0.02%) It's only visible at single threaded.

Commit 662bbcb2 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access code (that uses might_fault()). The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the following scenario: pagefault_disable() rc = copy_to_user(...) pagefault_enable() Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not sleep and return an error code if a page is not available. However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed, CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario: spin_lock(&lock); rc = copy_to_user(...) spin_unlock(&lock) If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable() will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would correctly never sleep on user access. However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP (with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler could sleep. We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks. Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off. As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish whether user acces functions might sleep. Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.

A lot of filesystems use generic_file_mmap() and filemap_fault(), f_op->mmap and vm_ops->fault aren't enough to identify filesystem.

In some cases, do_wp_page had to copy the page suffering a write fault to a new location. If the function logic decided that to do this, it was done by jumping with a "goto" operation to the relevant code block. This made the code really hard to understand. It is also against the kernel coding style guidelines. This patch extracts the page copy and page table update logic to a separate function.

When do_wp_page is ending, in several cases it needs to unlock the pages and ptls it was accessing. Currently, this logic was "called" by using a goto jump. This makes following the control flow of the function harder. Readability was further hampered by the unlock case containing large amount of logic needed only in one of the 3 cases. Using goto for cleanup is generally allowed. However, moving the trivial unlocking flows to the relevant call sites allow deeper refactoring in the next patch.

Currently do_wp_page contains 265 code lines. It also contains 9 goto statements, of which 5 are targeting labels which are not cleanup related. This makes the function extremely difficult to understand. The following patches are an attempt at breaking the function to its basic components, and making it easier to understand. The patches are straight forward function extractions from do_wp_page. As we extract functions, we remove unneeded parameters and simplify the code as much as possible. However, the functionality is supposed to remain completely unchanged. The patches also attempt to document the functionality of each extracted function. In patch 2, we split the unlock logic to the contain logic relevant to specific needs of each use case, instead of having huge number of conditional decisions in a single unlock flow. This patch (of 4): When do_wp_page is ending, in several cases it needs to reuse the existing page. This is achieved by making the page table writable, and possibly updating the page-cache state. Currently, this logic was "called" by using a goto jump. This makes following the control flow of the function harder. It is also against the coding style guidelines for using goto. As the code can easily be refactored into a specialized function, refactor it out and simplify the code flow in do_wp_page.

Normally, the scan rate is tuned on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and slows the PTE scanner.

Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set the writable bit again. This patch preserves the writable bit when trapping NUMA hinting faults. The impact is obvious from the number of minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system CPU usage; autonumabench 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve Time System-NUMA01 107.13 ( 0.00%) 103.13 ( 3.73%) Time System-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 131.87 ( 0.00%) 83.30 ( 36.83%) Time System-NUMA02 8.95 ( 0.00%) 10.72 (-19.78%) Time System-NUMA02_SMT 4.57 ( 0.00%) 3.99 ( 12.69%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01 515.78 ( 0.00%) 517.26 ( -0.29%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 384.10 ( 0.00%) 384.31 ( -0.05%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02 48.86 ( 0.00%) 48.78 ( 0.16%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02_SMT 47.98 ( 0.00%) 48.12 ( -0.29%) 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve User 44383.95 43971.89 System 252.61 201.24 Elapsed 998.68 1000.94 Minor Faults 2597249 1981230 Major Faults 365 364 There is a similar drop in system CPU usage using Dave Chinner's xfsrepair workload 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve Amean real-xfsrepair 454.14 ( 0.00%) 442.36 ( 2.60%) Amean syst-xfsrepair 277.20 ( 0.00%) 204.68 ( 26.16%) The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse.

It's not generally safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was discarded.

These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226. Much of the problem was reduced by commit 53da3bc2 ("mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic") and commit ba68bc01 ("mm: thp: Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd"). It was known that the performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe. This series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety.

Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious on the PTE updates.

This patch (of 3): Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as related tasks. This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update and when the application writes the page. If the page is file-backed, then background flushes and sync also affect placement. This is unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d942466 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down his xfsrepair test enormously. In particular, it was using more system time due to extra TLB flushing. The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic. The old special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections. That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table entries also change. And the code to decide how to group the NUMA entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular page was likely to be shared read-only or not. And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for private mappings due to COW. So even if the page actually ends up being written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always shared RO. This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable. The bit doesn't change with protection changes. NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue, Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the NUMA fault handling some more. For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault does. Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA faulting. Those are bigger questions, left for later. This just fixes up the heuristic so that it at least approximates working again. More analysis and work needed.

Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow the handler to perform the COW operation itself. The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock. Signed-off-by: NMatthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Acked-by: NKirill A.

DAX is a replacement for the variation of XIP currently supported by the ext2 filesystem. We have three different things in the tree called 'XIP', and the new focus is on access to data rather than executables, so a name change was in order. DAX stands for Direct Access. The X is for eXciting. The new focus on data access has resulted in more careful attention to races that exist in the current XIP code, but are not hit by the use-case that it was designed for. XIP's architecture worked fine for ext2, but DAX is architected to work with modern filsystems such as ext4 and XFS. DAX is not intended for use with btrfs; the value that btrfs adds relies on manipulating data and writing data to different locations, while DAX's value is for write-in-place and keeping the kernel from touching the data. DAX was developed in order to support NV-DIMMs, but it's become clear that its usefuless extends beyond NV-DIMMs and there are several potential customers including the tracing machinery. Other people want to place the kernel log in an area of memory, as long as they have a BIOS that does not clear DRAM on reboot. Patch 1 is a bug fix, probably worth including in 3.18. Patches 2 & 3 are infrastructure for DAX. Patches 4-8 replace the XIP code with its DAX equivalents, transforming ext2 to use the DAX code as we go. Note that patch 10 is the Documentation patch. Patches 9-15 clean up after the XIP code, removing the infrastructure that is no longer needed and renaming various XIP things to DAX. Most of these patches were added after Jan found things he didn't like in an earlier version of the ext4 patch ... that had been copied from ext2. So ext2 i being transformed to do things the same way that ext4 will later. The ability to mount ext2 filesystems with the 'xip' option is retained, although the 'dax' option is now preferred. Patch 16 adds some DAX infrastructure to support ext4. Patch 17 adds DAX support to ext4. It is broadly similar to ext2's DAX support, but it is more efficient than ext4's due to its support for unwritten extents. Patch 18 is another cleanup patch renaming XIP to DAX. My thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for his reviews of the v11 patchset. Most of the changes below were based on his feedback. This patch (of 18): Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that the fault didn't race against a truncate. We don't have a page to lock in the XIP case, so use i_mmap_lock_read() instead. It is locked in the truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size. So while we hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we have just inserted. There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before the thread's access to it is revoked.

pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are complete. Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going to result in strangeness so add a check for it. BUG_ON looks like overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in corruption so do not even try recovering. It would have been more comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have made the API ugly just for a debugging check.

Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

Whether there is a vm_ops->page_mkwrite or not, the page dirtying is pretty much the same. Make sure the page references are the same in both cases, then merge the two branches. It's tempting to go even further and page-lock the !page_mkwrite case, to get it in line with everybody else setting the page table and thus further simplify the model. But that's not quite compelling enough to justify dropping the pte lock, then relocking and verifying the entry for filesystems without ->page_mkwrite, which notably includes tmpfs. Leave it for now and lock the page late in the !page_mkwrite case. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: NKirill A.

We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure. Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches. Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that. For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would like to see acks from maintainers. In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses. Tested-by: NFelipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> This patch (of 38): We don't create non-linear mappings anymore.

The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS rather than a SIGSEGV, but nobody actually noticed until commit fee7e49d ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page") because that error case was never actually triggered in any normal situations. Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal that resulted. So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so let's not wait for any of those to break.

The optional find_special_page VMA operation is used to lookup the pages backing a VMA. This is useful in cases where the normal mechanisms for finding the page don't work. This is only called if the PTE is special. One use case is a Xen PV guest mapping foreign pages into userspace. In a Xen PV guest, the PTEs contain MFNs so get_user_pages() (for example) must do an MFN to PFN (M2P) lookup before it can get the page. For foreign pages (those owned by another guest) the M2P lookup returns the PFN as seen by the foreign guest (which would be completely the wrong page for the local guest). This cannot be fixed up improving the M2P lookup since one MFN may be mapped onto two or more pages so getting the right page is impossible given just the MFN.

When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb->end != 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped. As of commit f045bbb9 ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up. Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb->end = 0) by tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64. Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb->end == 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set). This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9, using instead tlb->local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb->end is initialised to a non-zero value in the fullmm case.

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition between the dirtying and truncation of a page: __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() __delete_from_page_cache() if (TestSetPageDirty(page)) page->mapping = NULL if (PageDirty()) dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); if (page->mapping) account_page_dirtied(page) __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); __inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE. Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with the page table lock held. The notable exception to this rule, though, is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists. However, do_wp_page() already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit, in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit in the presence of dirty ptes. Upgrade that wait to a fully locked set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above. Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race is no longer needed. Remove it. Reported-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: NKirill A.

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma that is reported by /proc/maps. This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done. And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit d7824370: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area. This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit. Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test, but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.
