      mm: compaction: ensure that the compaction free scanner does not move to the next zone · 7454f4ba
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner.  When
the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete.  The
location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive
scanning.

When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration
scanner to be close to the end of the zone.  Then the following situation
can occurs

  o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone
  o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the
    migration scanner is already there
  o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as
    cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages
    moving the free scanner into the next zone
  o migration scanner moves into the next zone

When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the
accounting happens against the wrong zone.  One zones counter remains
positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global
count is accurate.  This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP
allows the negative counters to be visible.  The fact that it is the bug
should theoritically be possible there.

      compaction: checks correct fragmentation index · a582a738
      由 Shaohua Li 提交于 
      fragmentation_index() returns -1000 when the allocation might succeed
This doesn't match the comment and code in compaction_suitable(). I
thought compaction_suitable should return COMPACT_PARTIAL in -1000
case, because in this case allocation could succeed depending on
watermarks.

The impact of this is that compaction starts and compact_finished() is
called which rechecks the watermarks and the free lists.  It should have
the same result in that compaction should not start but is more expensive.

      mm/memory-failure.c: fix page isolated count mismatch · 5db8a73a
      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters
NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE].  Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to
increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU.  Once the
pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the
isolated count is decremented.

Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing
the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative.  On SMP builds, this goes
unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu
drift.  On UP builds, the counter is treated by too_many_isolated() as a
large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or
compaction.  This patch accounts for pages isolated by memory failure
correctly.

      memcg: avoid percpu cached charge draining at softlimit · fbc29a25
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      Based on Michal Hocko's comment.

We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim
because background reclaim doesn't care about charges.  It tries to free
some memory and charges will not give any.

Cached charges might influence only selection of the biggest soft limit
offender but as the call is done only after the selection has been already
done it makes no change.

      memcg: fix percpu cached charge draining frequency · 26fe6168
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache.  This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases.  Typical cases are

   1. when someone hit limit.

   2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.

But "1" has problem.

Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache.  Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.

This patch does
        A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
        B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
        C) don't call local cpu callback.

(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.

When I run "cat 1Gfile > /dev/null" under 300M limit memcg,

      memcg: fix wrong check of noswap with softlimit · 7ae534d0
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).

If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense.  Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

      memcg: fix init_page_cgroup nid with sparsemem · 37573e8c
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      Commit 21a3c964 ("memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local
nodes") makes page_cgroup allocation as NUMA aware.  But that caused a
problem https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36192.

The problem was getting a NID from invalid struct pages, which was not
initialized because it was out-of-node, out of [node_start_pfn,
node_end_pfn)

Now, with sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn.  But
this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access memmap which
is not initialized.

This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove a code
to get nid from page->flags.  (Then, we'll use valid NID always.)

      mm: fix negative commitlimit when gigantic hugepages are allocated · b0320c7b
      由 Rafael Aquini 提交于 
      When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box.  Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.

The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'.  However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()

What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:

        allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages())
                * sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages;

A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.

Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.

Impact of this bug:

When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.  In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.

Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

      mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug zonelist · 959ecc48
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new
zone.  It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages
are onlined.  So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier
will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list.  Moreover,
if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback.

This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available.

Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu
      and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems.

      But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup
      will access not initialized zonelist of node.
      Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.

      mm: compaction: fix special case -1 order checks · 3957c776
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      Commit 56de7263 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails") introduced a check for cc->order == -1 in
compact_finished.  We should continue compacting in that case because
the request came from userspace and there is no particular order to
compact for.  Similar check has been added by 82478fb7 (mm: compaction:
prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction) for
compaction_suitable.

The check is, however, done after zone_watermark_ok which uses order as a
right hand argument for shifts.  Not only watermark check is pointless if
we can break out without it but it also uses 1 << -1 which is not well
defined (at least from C standard).  Let's move the -1 check above
zone_watermark_ok.

Running a ktest.pl git bisect, found the culprit: commit e303297e
("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather")

But although this was the commit triggering the bug, it was not the one
originally responsible for the bug.  That was commit d16dfc55 ("mm:
mmu_gather rework").

The code in zap_pte_range() has something that looks like the following:

	pte =  pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, addr, &ptl);
	do {
		[...]
	} while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);
	pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1, ptl);

The pte starts off pointing at the first element in the page table
directory that was returned by the pte_offset_map_lock().  When it's done
with the page, pte will be pointing to anything between the next entry and
the first entry of the next page inclusive.  By doing a pte - 1, this puts
the pte back onto the original page, which is all that pte_unmap_unlock()
needs.

In most archs (64 bit), this is not an issue as the pte is ignored in the
pte_unmap_unlock().  But on 32 bit archs, where things may be kmapped, it
is essential that the pte passed to pte_unmap_unlock() resides on the same
page that was given by pte_offest_map_lock().

The problem came in d16dfc55 ("mm: mmu_gather rework") where it introduced
a "break;" from the while loop.  This alone did not seem to easily trigger
the bug.  But the modifications made by e303297e caused that "break;" to
be hit on the first iteration, before the pte++.

The pte not being incremented will now cause pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1) to
be pointing to the previous page.  This will cause the wrong page to be
unmapped, and also trigger the warning above.

The simple solution is to just save the pointer given by
pte_offset_map_lock() and use it in the unlock.

      vmscan: implement swap token priority aging · d7911ef3
      由 KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于 
      While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.

Why?

Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner.  Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.

And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased.  That's obviously undesirable.

This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging.  It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)

      vmscan,memcg: memcg aware swap token · a433658c
      由 KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于 
      Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup.  It's slightly risky.  If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive.  That's bad.

This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token().  and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

      Johannes noticed the vmstat update is already taken care of by
khugepaged_alloc_hugepage() internally.  The only places that are required
to update the vmstat are the callers of alloc_hugepage (callers of
khugepaged_alloc_hugepage aren't).

      more conservative S_NOSEC handling · 9e1f1de0
      由 Al Viro 提交于 
      Caching "we have already removed suid/caps" was overenthusiastic as merged.
On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client,
silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing
the S_NOSEC flag.

AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is
	* new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set.
	* local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately,
mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than
local block ones clear it)
	* if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC,
it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when
inode attribute changes are picked from other clients.

It's not an earth-shattering hole (anybody that can set suid on another client
will almost certainly be able to write to the file before doing that anyway),
but it's a bug that needs fixing.

      slub: always align cpu_slab to honor cmpxchg_double requirement · d4d84fef
      由 Chris Metcalf 提交于 
      On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.

In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

      mm: fix page_lock_anon_vma leaving mutex locked · eee0f252
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      On one machine I've been getting hangs, a page fault's anon_vma_prepare()
waiting in anon_vma_lock(), other processes waiting for that page's lock.

This is a replay of last year's f1819427 "mm: fix hang on
anon_vma->root->lock".

The new page_lock_anon_vma() places too much faith in its refcount: when
it has acquired the mutex_trylock(), it's possible that a racing task in
anon_vma_alloc() has just reallocated the struct anon_vma, set refcount
to 1, and is about to reset its anon_vma->root.

Fix this by saving anon_vma->root, and relying on the usual page_mapped()
check instead of a refcount check: if page is still mapped, the anon_vma
is still ours; if page is not still mapped, we're no longer interested.

      mm: fix kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1017! · 5dbe0af4
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      I've hit the "address >= vma->vm_end" check in do_page_add_anon_rmap()
just once.  The stack showed khugepaged allocation trying to compact
pages: the call to page_add_anon_rmap() coming from remove_migration_pte().

That path holds anon_vma lock, but does not hold mmap_sem: it can
therefore race with a split_vma(), and in commit 5f70b962 "mmap:
avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock" we just took away the anon_vma lock
protection when adjusting vma->vm_end.

I don't think that particular BUG_ON ever caught anything interesting,
so better replace it by a comment, than reinstate the anon_vma locking.

      tmpfs: fix race between truncate and writepage · 826267cf
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      While running fsx on tmpfs with a memhog then swapoff, swapoff was hanging
(interruptibly), repeatedly failing to locate the owner of a 0xff entry in
the swap_map.

Although shmem_writepage() does abandon when it sees incoming page index
is beyond eof, there was still a window in which shmem_truncate_range()
could come in between writepage's dropping lock and updating swap_map,
find the half-completed swap_map entry, and in trying to free it,
leave it in a state that swap_shmem_alloc() could not correct.

Arguably a bug in __swap_duplicate()'s and swap_entry_free()'s handling
of the different cases, but easiest to fix by moving swap_shmem_alloc()
under cover of the lock.

More interesting than the bug: it's been there since 2.6.33, why could
I not see it with earlier kernels?  The mmotm of two weeks ago seems to
have some magic for generating races, this is just one of three I found.

With yesterday's git I first saw this in mainline, bisected in search of
that magic, but the easy reproducibility evaporated.  Oh well, fix the bug.

      Cache xattr security drop check for write v2 · 69b45732
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Some recent benchmarking on btrfs showed that a major scaling bottleneck
on large systems on btrfs is currently the xattr lookup on every write.

Why xattr lookup on every write I hear you ask?

write wants to drop suid and security related xattrs that could set o
capabilities for executables.  To do that it currently looks up
security.capability on EVERY write (even for non executables) to decide
whether to drop it or not.

In btrfs this causes an additional tree walk, hitting some per file system
locks and quite bad scalability. In a simple read workload on a 8S
system I saw over 90% CPU time in spinlocks related to that.

Chris Mason tells me this is also a problem in ext4, where it hits
the global mbcache lock.

This patch adds a simple per inode to avoid this problem.  We only
do the lookup once per file and then if there is no xattr cache
the decision. All xattr changes clear the flag.

I also used the same flag to avoid the suid check, although
that one is pretty cheap.

A file system can also set this flag when it creates the inode,
if it has a cheap way to do so.  This is done for some common file systems
in followon patches.

With this patch a major part of the lock contention disappears
for btrfs. Some testing on smaller systems didn't show significant
performance changes, but at least it helps the larger systems
and is generally more efficient.

v2: Rename is_sgid. add file system helper.
