      The reason is that start_shepherd_timer schedules the shepherd work item
      which uses vmstat_wq (vmstat_shepherd) before setup_vmstat allocates
      that workqueue so if the further initialization takes more than HZ we
      might end up scheduling on a NULL vmstat_wq.  This is really unlikely
      but not impossible.

      mremap() with MREMAP_FIXED on a VM_PFNMAP range causes the following

      MREMAP_FIXED moves a pfnmap from old vma to new vma.  untrack_pfn() is
      called with the old vma after its pfnmap page table has been removed,
      which causes follow_phys() to fail.  The new vma has a new pfnmap to
      the same pfn & cache type with VM_PAT set.  Therefore, we only need to
      clear VM_PAT from the old vma in this case.
      
      Add untrack_pfn_moved(), which clears VM_PAT from a given old vma.
      move_vma() is changed to call this function with the old vma when
      VM_PFNMAP is set.  move_vma() then calls do_munmap(), and untrack_pfn()
      is a no-op since VM_PAT is cleared.

      mm/vmstat: fix overflow in mod_zone_page_state() · 6cdb18ad
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument.  delta contains
      the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
      zone's vm_stat field.
      
      If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows.  E.g.  for a
      zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line
      
          mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages);
      
      in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
      result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
      contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
      value.
      
      Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.
      
      This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
      system with only one node.  ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
      rest.  The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
      completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.
      
      This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel.  One possible
      explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
      Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
      actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
      right now.  However the overflow problem does exist anyway.
      
      Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
      work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

      mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in test_pages_in_a_zone() · 5f0f2887
      Andrew Banman 提交于
      test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing
      sections in the given pfn range.  pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when
      CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing
      sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops.
      
      Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check
      for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code.
      
      This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing
      sections.  Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch
      '[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with
      missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to
      other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.

      mm: memcontrol: fix possible memcg leak due to interrupted reclaim · 6df38689
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
      once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
      full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
      mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
      and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup.  If the
      target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
      the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
      voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
      reference held by the iterator.
      
      The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
      sequence in a loop:
      
          mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
          echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
          echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
          memhog 150M
          echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
          rmdir test
      
      The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
      reference to the current position.  In order not to hit use-after-free
      bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
      of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
      cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it.  This callback
      is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
      access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
      go away under us.
