Each access with address lower than kasan_shadow_to_mem(KASAN_SHADOW_START) is reported as user-memory-access. This is not always true, the accessed address might not be in user space. Fix this by reporting such accesses as null-ptr-derefs or wild-memory-accesses. There's another reason for this change. For userspace ASan we have a bunch of systems that analyze error types for the purpose of classification and deduplication. Sooner of later we will write them to KASAN as well. Then clearly and explicitly stated error types will bring value. Signed-off-by:

When we end up calling kasan_report in real mode, our shadow mapping for the spinlock variable will show poisoned. This will result in us calling kasan_report_error with lock_report spin lock held. To prevent this disable kasan reporting when we are priting error w.r.t kasan. Signed-off-by:

There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of /proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it back there. Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed). The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text; which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2f ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo benchmark. creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr() tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0". I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree. At first I thought that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none. This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the lesser speedup. And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3 commit 44a30220 ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.

Commit 424cdc14 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a regression introduced by 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units rather than bytes when interpreting the user input. The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings during stable backport review. The page count is converted to bytes but unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds. The same applies to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow. Let's remove this bytes vs. pages internal tracking differences and handle thresholds in page units internally. Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to return the value in page units and revert 424cdc14 because this should be sufficient for the consistent handling. mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is converted to give the proper in bytes result. It is doing that already for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well. The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

My recent patch "mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available" added some bloat to hugetlb.o. This patch aims to get some of the bloat back, especially when NUMA is not in play. It does this with an implicit #ifdef and marking some things static that should have been static in my first patch. It also makes the warnings only VM_WARN_ON()s. They were responsible for a pretty big chunk of the bloat. Doing this gets our NUMA=n text size back to a wee bit _below_ where we started before the original patch. It also shaves a bit of space off the NUMA=y case, but not much. Enforcing the mempolicy definitely takes some text and it's hard to avoid. size(1) output: text data bss dec hex filename 30745 3433 2492 36670 8f3e hugetlb.o.nonuma.baseline 31305 3755 2492 37552 92b0 hugetlb.o.nonuma.patch1 30713 3433 2492 36638 8f1e hugetlb.o.nonuma.patch2 (this patch) 25235 473 41276 66984 105a8 hugetlb.o.numa.baseline 25715 475 41276 67466 1078a hugetlb.o.numa.patch1 25491 473 41276 67240 106a8 hugetlb.o.numa.patch2 (this patch) Signed-off-by:

I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages with 'nr_hugepages'. They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time. This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they specified. The code in question is this: > struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, ... > page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg); > if (!page) { > page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE); dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy. But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool. If the pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the VMA. Almost everybody preallocates huge pages. That's probably why nobody has ever noticed this. Looking back at the git history, I don't think this _ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in 7893d1d5, 8 years ago. The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call in to the buddy allocator. It's fairly straightforward plumbing. This has been lightly tested. Signed-off-by: -

clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty() which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too. No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag, and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another. It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway). Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even bother if the zone is the same. Do the PageDirty movement there under tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible: bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe). But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping(). Signed-off-by:

We have had trouble in the past from the way in which page migration's newpage is initialized in dribs and drabs - see commit 8bdd6380 ("mm: fix direct reclaim writeback regression") which proposed a cleanup. We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer (and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used - except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move(). So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths. Similarly migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping. Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Hitherto page migration has avoided using a migration entry for a swapcache page mapped into userspace, apparently for historical reasons. So any page blessed with swapcache would entail a minor fault when it's next touched, which page migration otherwise tries to avoid. Swapcache in an mlocked area is rare, so won't often matter, but still better fixed. Just rearrange the block in try_to_unmap_one(), to handle TTU_MIGRATION before checking PageAnon, that's all (apart from some reindenting). Well, no, that's not quite all: doesn't this by the way fix a soft_dirty bug, that page migration of a file page was forgetting to transfer the soft_dirty bit? Probably not a serious bug: if I understand correctly, soft_dirty afficionados usually have to handle file pages separately anyway; but we publish the bit in /proc/<pid>/pagemap on file mappings as well as anonymous, so page migration ought not to perturb it.

__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma() and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow. Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one. Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials. I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique, which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration entries. Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of migration entry ptes like everything else? So lose that comment now, and enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.

Clean up page migration a little more by calling remove_migration_ptes() from the same level, on success or on failure, from __unmap_and_move() or from unmap_and_move_huge_page(). Don't reset page->mapping of a PageAnon old page in move_to_new_page(), leave that to when the page is freed. Except for here in page migration, it has been an invariant that a PageAnon (bit set in page->mapping) page stays PageAnon until it is freed, and I think we're safer to keep to that. And with the above rearrangement, it's necessary because zap_pte_range() wants to identify whether a migration entry represents a file or an anon page, to update the appropriate rss stats without waiting on it.

Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been locked. Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate() accordingly. But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so. Cutting out BUG()s is good, right? But, to be honest, this is really to extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses. Use an "else" instead of that "skip_unmap" label. Signed-off-by:

I don't know of any problem from the way it's used in our current tree, but there is one defect in page migration's custom put_new_page feature. An unused newpage is expected to be released with the put_new_page(), but there was one MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS (0) path which released it with putback_lru_page(): which can be very wrong for a custom pool. Fixed more easily by resetting put_new_page once it won't be needed, than by adding a further flag to modify the rc test. Signed-off-by:

After v4.3's commit 0610c25d ("memcg: fix dirty page migration") mem_cgroup_migrate() doesn't have much to offer in page migration: convert migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() to set_page_memcg() instead.

Commit e6c509f8 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()") in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with nothing to do. Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked. I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one(). Delete mlock_migrate_page()? Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test, clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an improvement? mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.

KernelThreadSanitizer (ktsan) has shown that the down_read_trylock() of mmap_sem in try_to_unmap_one() (when going to set PageMlocked on a page found mapped in a VM_LOCKED vma) is ineffective against races with exit_mmap()'s munlock_vma_pages_all(), because mmap_sem is not held when tearing down an mm. But that's okay, those races are benign; and although we've believed for years in that ugly down_read_trylock(), it's unsuitable for the job, and frustrates the good intention of setting PageMlocked when it fails. It just doesn't matter if here we read vm_flags an instant before or after a racing mlock() or munlock() or exit_mmap() sets or clears VM_LOCKED: the syscalls (or exit) work their way up the address space (taking pt locks after updating vm_flags) to establish the final state. We do still need to be careful never to mark a page Mlocked (hence unevictable) by any race that will not be corrected shortly after. The page lock protects from many of the races, but not all (a page is not necessarily locked when it's unmapped). But the pte lock we just dropped is good to cover the rest (and serializes even with munlock_vma_pages_all(), so no special barriers required): now hold on to the pte lock while calling mlock_vma_page(). Is that lock ordering safe? Yes, that's how follow_page_pte() calls it, and how page_remove_rmap() calls the complementary clear_page_mlock(). This fixes the following case (though not a case which anyone has complained of), which mmap_sem did not: truncation's preliminary unmap_mapping_range() is supposed to remove even the anonymous COWs of filecache pages, and that might race with try_to_unmap_one() on a VM_LOCKED vma, so that mlock_vma_page() sets PageMlocked just after zap_pte_range() unmaps the page, causing "Bad page state (mlocked)" when freed. The pte lock protects against this. You could say that it also protects against the more ordinary case, racing with the preliminary unmapping of a filecache page itself: but in our current tree, that's independently protected by i_mmap_rwsem; and that race would be why "Bad page state (mlocked)" was seen before commit 48ec833b ("Revert mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem"). Vlastimil Babka points out another race which this patch protects against. try_to_unmap_one() might reach its mlock_vma_page() TestSetPageMlocked a moment after munlock_vma_pages_all() did its Phase 1 TestClearPageMlocked: leaving PageMlocked and unevictable when it should be evictable. mmap_sem is ineffective because exit_mmap() does not hold it; page lock ineffective because __munlock_pagevec() only takes it afterwards, in Phase 2; pte lock is effective because __munlock_pagevec_fill() takes it to get the page, after VM_LOCKED was cleared from vm_flags, so visible to try_to_unmap_one. Kirill Shutemov points out that if the compiler chooses to implement a "vma->vm_flags &= VM_WHATEVER" or "vma->vm_flags |= VM_WHATEVER" operation with an intermediate store of unrelated bits set, since I'm here foregoing its usual protection by mmap_sem, try_to_unmap_one() might catch sight of a spurious VM_LOCKED in vm_flags, and make the wrong decision. This does not appear to be an immediate problem, but we may want to define vm_flags accessors in future, to guard against such a possibility. While we're here, make a related optimization in try_to_munmap_one(): if it's doing TTU_MUNLOCK, then there's no point at all in descending the page tables and getting the pt lock, unless the vma is VM_LOCKED. Yes, that can change racily, but it can change racily even without the optimization: it's not critical. Far better not to waste time here. Stopped short of separating try_to_munlock_one() from try_to_munmap_one() on this occasion, but that's probably the sensible next step - with a rename, given that try_to_munlock()'s business is to try to set Mlocked. Updated the unevictable-lru Documentation, to remove its reference to mmap semaphore, but found a few more updates needed in just that area. Signed-off-by:

Doing the VM_MERGEABLE check after the page == kpage check won't provide any meaningful benefit. The !vma->anon_vma check of find_mergeable_vma is the only superfluous bit in using find_mergeable_vma because the !PageAnon check of try_to_merge_one_page() implicitly checks for that, but it still looks cleaner to share the same find_mergeable_vma().

The stable_nodes can become stale at any time if the underlying pages gets freed. The stable_node gets collected and removed from the stable rbtree if that is detected during the rbtree lookups. Don't fail the lookup if running into stale stable_nodes, just restart the lookup after collecting the stale stable_nodes. Otherwise the CPU spent in the preparation stage is wasted and the lookup must be repeated at the next loop potentially failing a second time in a second stale stable_node. If we don't prune aggressively we delay the merging of the unstable node candidates and at the same time we delay the freeing of the stale stable_nodes. Keeping stale stable_nodes around wastes memory and it can't provide any benefit. Signed-off-by:
