      mm: mempolicy: Implement change_prot_numa() in terms of change_protection() · 4b10e7d5
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch converts change_prot_numa() to use change_protection(). As
      pte_numa and friends check the PTE bits directly it is necessary for
      change_protection() to use pmd_mknuma(). Hence the required
      modifications to change_protection() are a little clumsy but the
      end result is that most of the numa page table helpers are just one or
      two instructions.

      mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_MF_LAZY · b24f53a0
      Lee Schermerhorn 提交于
      NOTE: Once again there is a lot of patch stealing and the end result
      	is sufficiently different that I had to drop the signed-offs.
      	Will re-add if the original authors are ok with that.
      
      This patch adds another mbind() flag to request "lazy migration".  The
      flag, MPOL_MF_LAZY, modifies MPOL_MF_MOVE* such that the selected
      pages are marked PROT_NONE. The pages will be migrated in the fault
      path on "first touch", if the policy dictates at that time.
      
      "Lazy Migration" will allow testing of migrate-on-fault via mbind().
      Also allows applications to specify that only subsequently touched
      pages be migrated to obey new policy, instead of all pages in range.
      This can be useful for multi-threaded applications working on a
      large shared data area that is initialized by an initial thread
      resulting in all pages on one [or a few, if overflowed] nodes.
      After PROT_NONE, the pages in regions assigned to the worker threads
      will be automatically migrated local to the threads on 1st touch.

      mm: mempolicy: Check for misplaced page · 771fb4d8
      Lee Schermerhorn 提交于
      This patch provides a new function to test whether a page resides
      on a node that is appropriate for the mempolicy for the vma and
      address where the page is supposed to be mapped.  This involves
      looking up the node where the page belongs.  So, the function
      returns that node so that it may be used to allocated the page
      without consulting the policy again.
      
      A subsequent patch will call this function from the fault path.
      Because of this, I don't want to go ahead and allocate the page, e.g.,
      via alloc_page_vma() only to have to free it if it has the correct
      policy.  So, I just mimic the alloc_page_vma() node computation
      logic--sort of.
      
      Note:  we could use this function to implement a MPOL_MF_STRICT
      behavior when migrating pages to match mbind() mempolicy--e.g.,
      to ensure that pages in an interleaved range are reinterleaved
      rather than left where they are when they reside on any page in
      the interleave nodemask.

      mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_NOOP · d3a71033
      Lee Schermerhorn 提交于
      This patch augments the MPOL_MF_LAZY feature by adding a "NOOP" policy
      to mbind().  When the NOOP policy is used with the 'MOVE and 'LAZY
      flags, mbind() will map the pages PROT_NONE so that they will be
      migrated on the next touch.
      
      This allows an application to prepare for a new phase of operation
      where different regions of shared storage will be assigned to
      worker threads, w/o changing policy.  Note that we could just use
      "default" policy in this case.  However, this also allows an
      application to request that pages be migrated, only if necessary,
      to follow any arbitrary policy that might currently apply to a
      range of pages, without knowing the policy, or without specifying
      multiple mbind()s for ranges with different policies.

      mm, mempolicy: fix printing stack contents in numa_maps · 32f8516a
      David Rientjes 提交于
      When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of
      the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets
      freed from beneath us.
      
      This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the
      stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored.
      
      There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str():
      
       - if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored,
         and
      
       - if the mempolicy has an invalid mode.
      
      The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to
      mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this
      is sufficient for the string to be written.  A future patch should convert
      this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but
      that's not -rc material.
      
      The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a
      reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read().
      The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns
      -EINVAL.
      
      This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that
      mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true.  The exit path
      does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting
      task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead.
      
      Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold
      task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it.  Callers with
      a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the
      reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

      : 3. we pass MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, the page table loops will

      mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma() · 00442ad0
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      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.

      mempolicy: fix a race in shared_policy_replace() · b22d127a
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      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().

      The problem is that the structure is being prematurely freed due to a
      reference count imbalance. 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.

      mm: do_migrate_pages() calls migrate_to_node() even if task is already on a correct node · 4a5b18cc
      Larry Woodman 提交于
      While running an application that moves tasks from one cpuset to another
      I noticed that it takes much longer and moves many more pages than
      expected.
      
      The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does its best to preserve the
      relative node differential from the first node of the cpuset because the
      application may have been written with that in mind.  If memory was
      interleaved on the nodes of the source cpuset by an application
      do_migrate_pages() will try its best to maintain that interleaving on
      the nodes of the destination cpuset.  This means copying the memory from
      all source nodes to the destination nodes even if the source and
      destination nodes overlap.
      
      This is a problem for userspace NUMA placement tools.  The amount of
      time spent doing extra memory moves cancels out some of the NUMA
      performance improvements.  Furthermore, if the number of source and
      destination nodes are to maintain the previous interleaving layout
      anyway.
      
      This patch changes do_migrate_pages() to only preserve the relative
      layout inside the program if the number of NUMA nodes in the source and
      destination mask are the same.  If the number is different, we do a much
      more efficient migration by not touching memory that is in an allowed
      node.
      
      This preserves the old behaviour for programs that want it, while
      allowing a userspace NUMA placement tool to use the new, faster
      migration.  This improves performance in our tests by up to a factor of
      7.
      
      Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7
      to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate from ALL the nodes even if
      they are in the both the source and destination nodesets:
      
         Migrating 7 to 4
         Migrating 6 to 3
         Migrating 5 to 4
         Migrating 4 to 3
         Migrating 1 to 4
         Migrating 3 to 4
         Migrating 0 to 3
         Migrating 2 to 3
      
      With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the
      destination nodesets:
      
         Migrating 7 to 4
         Migrating 6 to 3
         Migrating 5 to 4
         Migrating 2 to 3
         Migrating 1 to 4
         Migrating 0 to 3
      
      Yet if we move from a cpuset containing nodes 2,3,4 to a cpuset
      containing 3,4,5 we still do move everything so that we preserve the
      desired NUMA offsets:
      
         Migrating 4 to 5
         Migrating 3 to 4
         Migrating 2 to 3
      
      As far as performance is concerned this simple patch improves the time
      it takes to move 14, 20 and 26 large tasks from a cpuset containing
      nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 1 & 3 by up to a factor of 7.
      Here are the timings with and without the patch:

      This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
      mbind().
      
      mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
      merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary.  In the event of splits,
      mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
      reference counts whose rules are documented in
      Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .
      
      The problem occurs with shared memory policies.  The vm_op->set_policy
      increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
      vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
      However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
      vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
      leading to a premature free.  This patch removes the damage caused by
      policy_vma().
      
      With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
      minutes without error.  /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
      numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
      completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

      mm: fix NULL ptr dereference in migrate_pages · f2a9ef88
      Sasha Levin 提交于
      Commit 3268c63e ("mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct") has
      added an odd construct where 'mm' is checked for being NULL, and if it is,
      it would get dereferenced anyways by mput()ing it.
      
      This would lead to the following NULL ptr deref and BUG() when calling
      migrate_pages() with a pid that has no mm struct:

      cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 · cc9a6c87
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Commit c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
      changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
      memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
      
      [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
      barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
      investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
      after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
      oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
      allocator hot path.
      
      For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
      implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
      
      This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
      sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
      side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
      main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
      manner that can cause a false failure.
      
      While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
      is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
      allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
      
      In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
      __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
      actual results were

      The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
      improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
      performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
      actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
      
      For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
      the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
      
      To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
      first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
      faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
      cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
      
      Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
      within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
      With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
      functionally equivalent.

      mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct · 3268c63e
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Migration functions perform the rcu_read_unlock too early.  As a result
      the task pointed to may change from under us.  This can result in an oops,
      as reported by Dave Hansen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/302.
      
      The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the
      permissions checks are done.  We also take a refcount so that the task
      reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing
      cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex).
      
      The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no
      change to the refcounts held during page migration.
      
      Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately
      before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from
      handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual
      migration.  Since the determination is only done once and we then no
      longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific
      address space that will not change from under us.

      mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode · 1a5a9906
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
      the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
      allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
      false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
      materializing as trans huge.
      
      It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
      in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
      to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
      seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
      restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
      the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
      pmd_trans_huge().
      
      Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
      mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
      the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
      probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
      madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
      fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
      will be zapped.
      
      Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
      to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
      zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
      pmd_trans_huge()).
      
      The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
      (regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
      compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
      that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
      value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
      zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
      and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
      above).
      
      All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
      path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
      can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
      tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
      don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
      too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
      verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
      pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
      and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
      pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
      
      		if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
      			if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
      				VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
      				split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
      			} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
      				continue;
      			/* fall through */
      		}
      		if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
      
      Because this race condition could be exercised without special
      privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
      
      The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
      I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

            mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
            kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
      
          At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
          following is logged on the console:
      
            mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
      
          The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
          the page's PMD table entry.
      
              143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
              144 {
          ->  145         pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
              146         pmd_clear(pmd);
              147 }
      
          After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
          between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
          and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
          is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
      
             1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
             1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
             1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
          -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
      
          The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
          process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
          been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
          system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

                        spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)
      
          The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
          it in shared mode (down_read).  Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
          the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated.  However, Thread A
          does not synchronize on that lock.

      vm: avoid using find_vma_prev() unnecessarily · 097d5910
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Several users of "find_vma_prev()" were not in fact interested in the
      previous vma if there was no primary vma to be found either.  And in
      those cases, we're much better off just using the regular "find_vma()",
      and then "prev" can be looked up by just checking vma->vm_prev.
      
      The find_vma_prev() semantics are fairly subtle (see Mikulas' recent
      commit 83cd904d: "mm: fix find_vma_prev"), and the whole "return
      prev by reference" means that it generates worse code too.
      
      Thus this "let's avoid using this inconvenient and clearly too subtle
      interface when we don't really have to" patch.

      mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction · a6bc32b8
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
      mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
      maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
      For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
      used.
      
      This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
      particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
      large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
      ->writepages.

      mm/mempolicy.c: refix mbind_range() vma issue · e26a5114
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      commit 8aacc9f5 ("mm/mempolicy.c: fix pgoff in mbind vma merge") is the
      slightly incorrect fix.
      
      Why? Think following case.
      
      1. map 4 pages of a file at offset 0
      
         [0123]
      
      2. map 2 pages just after the first mapping of the same file but with
         page offset 2
      
         [0123][23]
      
      3. mbind() 2 pages from the first mapping at offset 2.
         mbind_range() should treat new vma is,
      
         [0123][23]
           |23|
           mbind vma
      
         but it does
      
         [0123][23]
           |01|
           mbind vma
      
         Oops. then, it makes wrong vma merge and splitting ([01][0123] or similar).
      
      This patch fixes it.

      Caspar Zhang 提交于
      commit 9d8cebd4 ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") didn't really
      fix the mbind vma merge problem due to wrong pgoff value passing to
      vma_merge(), which made vma_merge() always return NULL.
      
      Before the patch applied, we are getting a result like:
      
        addr = 0x7fa58f00c000

      here 7fa58f00c000->7fa58f00f000 we get 3 VMAs which are expected to be

      cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() · 778d3b0f
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      [ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0 but later
        reverted (commit 35926ff5) because it itroduced arch specific
        __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
        archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
        that there are no functional changes.]
      
      Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
      too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
      that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
      at node 0 for newly created tasks.
      
      This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
      of the cpuset.
