rmap_walk_anon() was triggering errors in memory compaction that look like use-after-free errors. The problem is that between the page being isolated from the LRU and rcu_read_lock() being taken, the mapcount of the page dropped to 0 and the anon_vma gets freed. This can happen during memory compaction if pages being migrated belong to a process that exits before migration completes. Hence, the use-after-free race looks like 1. Page isolated for migration 2. Process exits 3. page_mapcount(page) drops to zero so anon_vma was no longer reliable 4. unmap_and_move() takes the rcu_lock but the anon_vma is already garbage 4. call try_to_unmap, looks up tha anon_vma and "locks" it but the lock is garbage. This patch checks the mapcount after the rcu lock is taken. If the mapcount is zero, the anon_vma is assumed to be freed and no further action is taken.

For clarity of review, KSM and page migration have separate refcounts on the anon_vma. While clear, this is a waste of memory.

This patchset is a memory compaction mechanism that reduces external fragmentation memory by moving GFP_MOVABLE pages to a fewer number of pageblocks. The term "compaction" was chosen as there are is a number of mechanisms that are not mutually exclusive that can be used to defragment memory. For example, lumpy reclaim is a form of defragmentation as was slub "defragmentation" (really a form of targeted reclaim). Hence, this is called "compaction" to distinguish it from other forms of defragmentation. In this implementation, a full compaction run involves two scanners operating within a zone - a migration and a free scanner. The migration scanner starts at the beginning of a zone and finds all movable pages within one pageblock_nr_pages-sized area and isolates them on a migratepages list. The free scanner begins at the end of the zone and searches on a per-area basis for enough free pages to migrate all the pages on the migratepages list. As each area is respectively migrated or exhausted of free pages, the scanners are advanced one area. A compaction run completes within a zone when the two scanners meet. This method is a bit primitive but is easy to understand and greater sophistication would require maintenance of counters on a per-pageblock basis. This would have a big impact on allocator fast-paths to improve compaction which is a poor trade-off. It also does not try relocate virtually contiguous pages to be physically contiguous. However, assuming transparent hugepages were in use, a hypothetical khugepaged might reuse compaction code to isolate free pages, split them and relocate userspace pages for promotion. Memory compaction can be triggered in one of three ways. It may be triggered explicitly by writing any value to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory and compacting all of memory. It can be triggered on a per-node basis by writing any value to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/compact where N is the node ID to be compacted. When a process fails to allocate a high-order page, it may compact memory in an attempt to satisfy the allocation instead of entering direct reclaim. Explicit compaction does not finish until the two scanners meet and direct compaction ends if a suitable page becomes available that would meet watermarks. The series is in 14 patches. The first three are not "core" to the series but are important pre-requisites. Patch 1 reference counts anon_vma for rmap_walk_anon(). Without this patch, it's possible to use anon_vma after free if the caller is not holding a VMA or mmap_sem for the pages in question. While there should be no existing user that causes this problem, it's a requirement for memory compaction to be stable. The patch is at the start of the series for bisection reasons. Patch 2 merges the KSM and migrate counts. It could be merged with patch 1 but would be slightly harder to review. Patch 3 skips over unmapped anon pages during migration as there are no guarantees about the anon_vma existing. There is a window between when a page was isolated and migration started during which anon_vma could disappear. Patch 4 notes that PageSwapCache pages can still be migrated even if they are unmapped. Patch 5 allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA Patch 6 exports a "unusable free space index" via debugfs. It's a measure of external fragmentation that takes the size of the allocation request into account. It can also be calculated from userspace so can be dropped if requested Patch 7 exports a "fragmentation index" which only has meaning when an allocation request fails. It determines if an allocation failure would be due to a lack of memory or external fragmentation. Patch 8 moves the definition for LRU isolation modes for use by compaction Patch 9 is the compaction mechanism although it's unreachable at this point Patch 10 adds a means of compacting all of memory with a proc trgger Patch 11 adds a means of compacting a specific node with a sysfs trigger Patch 12 adds "direct compaction" before "direct reclaim" if it is determined there is a good chance of success. Patch 13 adds a sysctl that allows tuning of the threshold at which the kernel will compact or direct reclaim Patch 14 temporarily disables compaction if an allocation failure occurs after compaction. Testing of compaction was in three stages. For the test, debugging, preempt, the sleep watchdog and lockdep were all enabled but nothing nasty popped out. min_free_kbytes was tuned as recommended by hugeadm to help fragmentation avoidance and high-order allocations. It was tested on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Ths first test represents one of the easiest cases that can be faced for lumpy reclaim or memory compaction. 1. Machine freshly booted and configured for hugepage usage with a) hugeadm --create-global-mounts b) hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:8G c) hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes d) hugeadm --set-recommended-shmmax The min_free_kbytes here is important. Anti-fragmentation works best when pageblocks don't mix. hugeadm knows how to calculate a value that will significantly reduce the worst of external-fragmentation-related events as reported by the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint. 2. Load up memory a) Start updatedb b) Create in parallel a X files of pagesize*128 in size. Wait until files are created. By parallel, I mean that 4096 instances of dd were launched, one after the other using &. The crude objective being to mix filesystem metadata allocations with the buffer cache. c) Delete every second file so that pageblocks are likely to have holes d) kill updatedb if it's still running At this point, the system is quiet, memory is full but it's full with clean filesystem metadata and clean buffer cache that is unmapped. This is readily migrated or discarded so you'd expect lumpy reclaim to have no significant advantage over compaction but this is at the POC stage. 3. In increments, attempt to allocate 5% of memory as hugepages. Measure how long it took, how successful it was, how many direct reclaims took place and how how many compactions. Note the compaction figures might not fully add up as compactions can take place for orders other than the hugepage size X86 vanilla compaction Final page count 913 916 (attempted 1002) pages reclaimed 68296 9791 X86-64 vanilla compaction Final page count: 901 902 (attempted 1002) Total pages reclaimed: 112599 53234 PPC64 vanilla compaction Final page count: 93 94 (attempted 110) Total pages reclaimed: 103216 61838 There was not a dramatic improvement in success rates but it wouldn't be expected in this case either. What was important is that fewer pages were reclaimed in all cases reducing the amount of IO required to satisfy a huge page allocation. The second tests were all performance related - kernbench, netperf, iozone and sysbench. None showed anything too remarkable. The last test was a high-order allocation stress test. Many kernel compiles are started to fill memory with a pressured mix of unmovable and movable allocations. During this, an attempt is made to allocate 90% of memory as huge pages - one at a time with small delays between attempts to avoid flooding the IO queue. vanilla compaction Percentage of request allocated X86 98 99 Percentage of request allocated X86-64 95 98 Percentage of request allocated PPC64 55 70 This patch: rmap_walk_anon() does not use page_lock_anon_vma() for looking up and locking an anon_vma and it does not appear to have sufficient locking to ensure the anon_vma does not disappear from under it. This patch copies an approach used by KSM to take a reference on the anon_vma while pages are being migrated. This should prevent rmap_walk() running into nasty surprises later because anon_vma has been freed.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages uncacheable. This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available for modification via update_mmu_cache(). Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

The previous patch enables page migration of ksm pages, but that soon gets into trouble: not surprising, since we're using the ksm page lock to lock operations on its stable_node, but page migration switches the page whose lock is to be used for that. Another layer of locking would fix it, but do we need that yet? Do we actually need page migration of ksm pages? Yes, memory hotremove needs to offline sections of memory: and since we stopped allocating ksm pages with GFP_HIGHUSER, they will tend to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE candidates for migration. But KSM is currently unconscious of NUMA issues, happily merging pages from different NUMA nodes: at present the rule must be, not to use MADV_MERGEABLE where you care about NUMA. So no, NUMA page migration of ksm pages does not make sense yet. So, to complete support for ksm swapping we need to make hotremove safe. ksm_memory_callback() take ksm_thread_mutex when MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and release it when MEM_OFFLINE or MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. But if mapped pages are freed before migration reaches them, stable_nodes may be left still pointing to struct pages which have been removed from the system: the stable_node needs to identify a page by pfn rather than page pointer, then it can safely prune them when MEM_OFFLINE. And make NUMA migration skip PageKsm pages where it skips PageReserved. But it's only when we reach unmap_and_move() that the page lock is taken and we can be sure that raised pagecount has prevented a PageAnon from being upgraded: so add offlining arg to migrate_pages(), to migrate ksm page when offlining (has sufficient locking) but reject it otherwise.

A side-effect of making ksm pages swappable is that they have to be placed on the LRUs: which then exposes them to isolate_lru_page() and hence to page migration. Add rmap_walk() for remove_migration_ptes() to use: rmap_walk_anon() and rmap_walk_file() in rmap.c, but rmap_walk_ksm() in ksm.c. Perhaps some consolidation with existing code is possible, but don't attempt that yet (try_to_unmap needs to handle nonlinears, but migration pte removal does not). rmap_walk() is sadly less general than it appears: rmap_walk_anon(), like remove_anon_migration_ptes() which it replaces, avoids calling page_lock_anon_vma(), because that includes a page_mapped() test which fails when all migration ptes are in place. That was valid when NUMA page migration was introduced (holding mmap_sem provided the missing guarantee that anon_vma's slab had not already been destroyed), but I believe not valid in the memory hotremove case added since. For now do the same as before, and consider the best way to fix that unlikely race later on. When fixed, we can probably use rmap_walk() on hwpoisoned ksm pages too: for now, they remain among hwpoison's various exceptions (its PageKsm test comes before the page is locked, but its page_lock_anon_vma fails safely if an anon gets upgraded).

At present we define PageAnon(page) by the low PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit set in page->mapping, with the higher bits a pointer to the anon_vma; and have defined PageKsm(page) as that with NULL anon_vma. But KSM swapping will need to store a pointer there: so in preparation for that, now define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS as the low two bits, including PAGE_MAPPING_KSM (always set along with PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, until some other use for the bit emerges). Declare page_rmapping(page) to return the pointer part of page->mapping, and page_anon_vma(page) to return the anon_vma pointer when that's what it is. Use these in a few appropriate places: notably, unuse_vma() has been testing page->mapping, but is better to be testing page_anon_vma() (cases may be added in which flag bits are set without any pointer).

Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache. Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory shortage problem. We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem pages: shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages. This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

In test, some pages in swap-cache can't be migrated, as they aren't rmap. unmap_and_move() ignores swap-cache page which is just read in and hasn't rmap (see the comments in the code), but swap_aops provides .migratepage. Better to migrate such pages instead of ignore them.

try_to_unmap currently has multiple modi (migration, munlock, normal unmap) which are selected by magic flag variables. The logic is not very straight forward, because each of these flag change multiple behaviours (e.g. migration turns off aging, not only sets up migration ptes etc.) Also the different flags interact in magic ways. A later patch in this series adds another mode to try_to_unmap, so this becomes quickly unmanageable. Replace the different flags with a action code (migration, munlock, munmap) and some additional flags as modifiers (ignore mlock, ignore aging). This makes the logic more straight forward and allows easier extension to new behaviours. Change all the caller to declare what they want to do. This patch is supposed to be a nop in behaviour. If anyone can prove it is not that would be a bug. Cc: Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com Cc: npiggin@suse.de Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

migrate_prep() is fairly expensive (72us on 16-core barcelona 1.9GHz). Commit 3140a227 improved move_pages() throughput by breaking it into chunks, but it also made migrate_prep() be called once per chunk (every 128pages or so) instead of once per move_pages(). This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did before 2.6.29. It is also a followup to commit 0aedadf9 ("mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_sem"). This improves migration throughput on the above machine from 600MB/s to 750MB/s.

Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.

Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

Now, management of "charge" under page migration is done under following manner. (Assume migrate page contents from oldpage to newpage) before - "newpage" is charged before migration. at success. - "oldpage" is uncharged at somewhere(unmap, radix-tree-replace) at failure - "newpage" is uncharged. - "oldpage" is charged if necessary (*1) But (*1) is not reliable....because of GFP_ATOMIC. This patch tries to change behavior as following by charge/commit/cancel ops. before - charge PAGE_SIZE (no target page) success - commit charge against "newpage". failure - commit charge against "oldpage". (PCG_USED bit works effectively to avoid double-counting) - if "oldpage" is obsolete, cancel charge of PAGE_SIZE.

There is a small race in do_swap_page(). When the page swapped-in is charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0. But, at the same time some process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is uncharged. CPUA CPUB mapcount == 1. (1) charge if mapcount==0 zap_pte_range() (2) mapcount 1 => 0. (3) uncharge(). (success) (4) set page's rmap() mapcount 0=>1 Then, this swap page's account is leaked. For fixing this, I added a new interface. - charge account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary. - commit register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary. - cancel uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure. CPUA (1) charge (always) (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0) (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte(). This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting. Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time. And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges. - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge() called against newly allocated anon pages. - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup() called only from remove_migration_ptes(). we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior) This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration clearer. Good for clarifying "what we do" Then, we have 4 following charge points. - newpage - swap-in - add-to-cache. - migration.

Rework do_pages_move() to work by page-sized chunks of struct page_to_node that are passed to do_move_page_to_node_array(). We now only have to allocate a single page instead a possibly very large vmalloc area to store all page_to_node entries. As a result, new_page_node() will now have a very small lookup, hidding much of the overall sys_move_pages() overhead.

Since commit 2f007e74, do_pages_stat() gets the page address from user-space and puts the corresponding status back while holding the mmap_sem for read. There is no need to hold mmap_sem there while some page-faults may occur. This patch adds a temporary address and status buffer so as to only hold mmap_sem while working on these kernel buffers. This is implemented by extracting do_pages_stat_array() out of do_pages_stat().

Move the migrate_prep outside the mmap_sem for the following system calls 1. sys_move_pages 2. sys_migrate_pages 3. sys_mbind() It really does not matter when we flush the lru. The system is free to add pages onto the lru even during migration which will make the page migration either skip the page (mbind, migrate_pages) or return a busy state (move_pages). Fixes this lockdep warning (and potential deadlock): Some VM place has mmap_sem -> kevent_wq via lru_add_drain_all() net/core/dev.c::dev_ioctl() has rtnl_lock -> mmap_sem (*) the ioctl has copy_from_user() and it can do page fault. linkwatch_event has kevent_wq -> rtnl_lock Signed-off-by: NChristoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reported-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
