      ksm: fix bad user data when swapping · 4e31635c
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with
an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping.

Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps
it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to
KSM swapping in 2.6.33.

Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but
only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then -
if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we
don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused.  Fine, the dirty bit
will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother
to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon.

If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of
swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed;
then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again.

We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a
page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in
KSM's write_protect_page().  Several days of testing on three machines
confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

      ksm: fix page_address_in_vma anon_vma oops · 4829b906
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443 "rmap:
resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect
that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of
just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma.

In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that
occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will
itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from
an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL.

It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they
were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in
the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their
process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can).

For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and
add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway).  A similar check
in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap()
already excluded KSM pages.

      percpu: fix pcpu_last_unit_cpu · 46b30ea9
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and
last units assigned.  This in turn is used to determine the span of a
chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to
the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys().

When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may
contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk.  The logic to
determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused
unit at the end of a chunk.  It failed to ignore the unused unit and
assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu.

This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by
malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible
CPUs by CAI Qian.

      mm: further fix swapin race condition · 31c4a3d3
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Commit 4969c119 ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to
be incomplete.  There's a race, not very much less likely than the
original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that
the swapcache page's swap has not changed.

Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably
could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on
swapoff+swapon.

A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and
comes through the lock_page(page1).

B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does
page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but
for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon.

A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the
swap page1 (another reference to swap1).  Unlocks the page1 (but B
doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte.

C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap
page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed.

kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some
pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B,
and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C.  But does not
immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference),
leaving it in swap cache for now.

B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes.
Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been
given the swap1 which page1 used to have.  So B proceeds to insert page1
into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite
different from what A wrote there.

B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.

      mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock · f1819427
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      After several hours, kbuild tests hang with anon_vma_prepare() spinning on
a newly allocated anon_vma's lock - on a box with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
(which makes this very much more likely, but it could happen without).

The ever-subtle page_lock_anon_vma() now needs a further twist: since
anon_vma_prepare() and anon_vma_fork() are liable to change the ->root
of a reused anon_vma structure at any moment, page_lock_anon_vma()
needs to check page_mapped() again before succeeding, otherwise
page_unlock_anon_vma() might address a different root->lock.
