      dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean · f729c8c9
      由 Ross Zwisler 提交于 
      Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect
the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation.  This can result
in data loss in the following sequence:

1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the
   pmd_t dirty and writeable
2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We
   currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected.
3) more mmap writes to the PMD.  These don't cause any page faults since
   the pmd_t is dirty and writeable.  The radix tree entry remains clean.
4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree
   entry was clean.
5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could
   still have been in the processor cache, and is lost.

Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in
dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync
operation 2).  This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate
page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in
flushes in the fsync that happens in step 4).

      thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counter · 6fcb52a5
      由 Aaron Lu 提交于 
      The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault.  If
THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
used.  The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
value.

CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
of processes doing anonymous read faults.  This patch proposes a way to
reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
reduced accordingly.

To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE.  With this flag, the process only need to touch
the global counter in two cases:

 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.

Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
as its last use goes away.  With this patch, the page will not be
eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
was ever used.

And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
zero page either.  Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
is no difference after applying this patch.  But if that is not desired,
I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.

Case used for test on Haswell EP:

  usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G

Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

      dax: remote unused fault wrappers · 6b524995
      由 Ross Zwisler 提交于 
      Remove the unused wrappers dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault().  After this
removal, rename __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() to dax_fault() and
dax_pmd_fault() respectively, and update all callers.

The dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() wrappers were initially intended to
capture some filesystem independent functionality around page faults
(calling sb_start_pagefault() & sb_end_pagefault(), updating file mtime
and ctime).

However, the following commits:

   5726b27b ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults")
   ea3d7209 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching")

added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common
operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called.
This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to
be used in the future.

XFS has had locking analogous to what was recently added to ext2 and
ext4 since DAX support was initially introduced by:

   6b698ede ("xfs: add DAX file operations support")

      dax: fix offset overflow in dax_io · 02395435
      由 Eric Sandeen 提交于 
      This isn't functionally apparent for some reason, but
when we test io at extreme offsets at the end of the loff_t
rang, such as in fstests xfs/071, the calculation of
"max" in dax_io() can be wrong due to pos + size overflowing.

For example,

# xfs_io -c "pwrite 9223372036854771712 512" /mnt/test/file

enters dax_io with:

start 0x7ffffffffffff000
end   0x7ffffffffffff200

and the rounded up "size" variable is 0x1000.  This yields:

pos + size 0x8000000000000000 (overflows loff_t)
       end 0x7ffffffffffff200

Due to the overflow, the min() function picks the wrong
value for the "max" variable, and when we send (max - pos)
into i.e. copy_from_iter_pmem() it is also the wrong value.

This somehow(tm) gets magically absorbed without incident,
probably because iter->count is correct.  But it seems best
to fix it up properly by comparing the two values as
unsigned.
