      swap: fix shmem swapping when more than 8 areas · 9b15b817
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs
      swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read
      back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM.
      
      Whoops.  Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry(
      swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap
      offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the
      pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating
      it there.  Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the
      lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was
      truncated.
      
      Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the
      broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().
      
      This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it
      leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0
      on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB
      per swapfile on i386 with PAE.  It's not a change I would have risked
      five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's
      appropriate now.
      
      Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset
      encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap
      offset check.  Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding
      offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

      BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h · 187f1882
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
      other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
      that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
      expecting it to be implicitly present.
      
      We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
      headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
      been causing compile failures/warnings.

      mm: let swap use exceptional entries · a2c16d6c
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
      radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.
      
      Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
      shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
      for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
      find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().
      
      So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
      existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
      find_lock_page(), where it is an added test.  And make it a BUG in
      find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.
      
      A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
      minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
      entries.
      
      The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
      different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
      into a pte_t when stored in page tables.
      
      In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
      30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
      swapfile size of 128GB.  Which is less than the 512GB we previously
      allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
      32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
      there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
      limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset).  Thirty areas of 128GB is
      probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.
      
      Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
      enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

      HWPOISON: Add support for poison swap entries v2 · a7420aa5
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Memory migration uses special swap entry types to trigger special actions on
      page faults. Extend this mechanism to also support poisoned swap entries, to
      trigger poison handling on page faults. This allows follow-on patches to
      prevent processes from faulting in poisoned pages again.

      Does it ever make sense to ask "is this pte a swap entry?" on a machine
      with no MMU?  Presumably this also means it has no ptes too, right?  In
      which case, it's better to comment the whole function out.  Then when
      someone tries to ask the above meaningless question, they get a compile
      error rather than a meaningless answer.

      [PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries · 0697212a
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Implement read/write migration ptes
      
      We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define
      a series of macros in swapops.h.
      
      The VM is modified to handle the migration entries.  migration entries can
      only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked.  This limits
      the number of places one has to fix.  We also check in copy_pte_range and in
      mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes.
      
      We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will
      then wait on the page lock.  This allows us to effectively stop all accesses
      to apge.
      
      Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and
      removed by local functions in migrate.c
      
      From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
        Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just
        hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the
        BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page.
      
        This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current
        correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it
        checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list.
      
        Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork:
        copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after
        remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has
        removed it from the parent vma.  (If the process were later to fault on this
        orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)
      
        This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather
        not.  There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add
        adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is
        enough to serialize.  Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the
        tail instead of the head.
      
        (There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,
        because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is
        allowed for.  And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,
        because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted.  But the swapless
        method has no refcounting of its entries.)
      
      From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
      
        pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.
      
      From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
        Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec
        a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being
        properly write-protected on fork.
      
        The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you
        realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write",
        and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.
      
        Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using
        is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.
      
      From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
        Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type,
        which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made
        MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
