This patch adds new security hook, task_movememory, to be called when memory owened by a task is to be moved (e.g. when migrating pages to a this hook is identical to the setscheduler implementation, but a separate hook introduced to allow this check to be specialized in the future if necessary. Since the last posting, the hook has been renamed following feedback from Christoph Lameter. Signed-off-by:

Add a security hook call to enable security modules to control the ability to attach a task to a cpuset. While limited control over this operation is possible via permission checks on the pseudo fs interface, those checks are not sufficient to control access to the target task, which is looked up in this function. The existing task_setscheduler hook is re-used for this operation since this falls under the same class of operations. Signed-off-by:

Implement an LSM hook for setting a task's IO priority, similar to the hook for setting a tasks's nice value. A previous version of this LSM hook was included in an older version of multiadm by Jan Engelhardt, although I don't recall it being submitted upstream. Also included is the corresponding SELinux hook, which re-uses the setsched permission in the proccess class. Signed-off-by:

The definition of the third parameter is a pointer to an array of virtual addresses which give us some trouble. The existing code calculated the wrong address in the array since I used void to avoid having to specify a type. I now use the correct type "compat_uptr_t __user *" in the definition of the function in kernel/compat.c. However, I used __u32 in syscalls.h. Would have to include compat.h there in order to provide the same definition which would generate an ugly include situation. On both ia64 and x86_64 compat_uptr_t is u32. So this works although parameter declarations differ. Signed-off-by:

sys_move_pages() support for 32bit (i386 plus x86_64 compat layer) Add support for move_pages() on i386 and also add the compat functions necessary to run 32 bit binaries on x86_64. Add compat_sys_move_pages to the x86_64 32bit binary layer. Note that it is not up to date so I added the missing pieces. Not sure if this is done the right way.

move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired node. move_pages() returns status information for each page. long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move, addresses_of_pages[], nodes[] or NULL, status[], flags); The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the pages to be moved. The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages. The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if move_pages() completed successfullly. Possible page states in status[]: 0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node. -ENOENT Page is not present -EACCES Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified. -EPERM The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and cannot be moved. -EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later. -EFAULT Invalid address (no VMA or zero page). -ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node. -EIO Unable to write back page. The page must be written back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the filesystem does not provide a migration function that would allow the moving of dirty pages. -EINVAL A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide a migration function and has no ability to write back pages. The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move: MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process. MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes. Requires sufficient capabilities. Possible return codes from move_pages() -ENOENT No pages found that would require moving. All pages are either already on the target node, not present, had an invalid address or could not be moved because they were mapped by multiple processes. -EINVAL Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt to migrate pages in a kernel thread. -EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges. or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user. -EACCES One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset. -ENODEV One of the target nodes is not online. -ESRCH Process does not exist. -E2BIG Too many pages to move. -ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array. -EFAULT Parameters could not be accessed. A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3 From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Detailed results for sys_move_pages() Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be placed. This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to each page. Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky. Signed-off-by:

Instead of passing a list of new pages, pass a function to allocate a new page. This allows the correct placement of MPOL_INTERLEAVE pages during page migration. It also further simplifies the callers of migrate pages. migrate_pages() becomes similar to migrate_pages_to() so drop migrate_pages_to(). The batching of new page allocations becomes unnecessary.

Currently migrate_pages() is mess with lots of goto. Extract two functions from migrate_pages() and get rid of the gotos. Plus we can just unconditionally set the locked bit on the new page since we are the only one holding a reference. Locking is to stop others from accessing the page once we establish references to the new page. Remove the list_del from move_to_lru in order to have finer control over list processing.

This patch fixes printk() under zone->lock in show_free_areas(). It can be unsafe to call printk() under this lock, since caller can try to allocate/free some memory and selfdeadlock on this lock. I found allocations/freeing mem both in netconsole and serial console. This issue was faced in reallity when meminfo was periodically printed for debug purposes and netconsole was used.

The SLAB bootstrap code assumes that the first two kmalloc caches created (the INDEX_AC and INDEX_L3 kmalloc caches) wont be off-slab. But due to AC and L3 structure size increase in lockdep, one of them ended up being off-slab, and subsequently crashing with: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: [<ffffffff80267478>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x26/0x7d The fix is to introduce a bootstrap flag and to use it to prevent off-slab caches being created so early during bootup. (The calculation for off-slab caches is quite complex so i didnt want to complicate things with introducing yet another INDEX_ calculation, the flag approach is simpler and smaller.) Signed-off-by:

Add a new VMA operation to notify a filesystem or other driver about the MMU generating a fault because userspace attempted to write to a page mapped through a read-only PTE. This facility permits the filesystem or driver to: (*) Implement storage allocation/reservation on attempted write, and so to deal with problems such as ENOSPC more gracefully (perhaps by generating SIGBUS). (*) Delay making the page writable until the contents have been written to a backing cache. This is useful for NFS/AFS when using FS-Cache/CacheFS. It permits the filesystem to have some guarantee about the state of the cache. (*) Account and limit number of dirty pages. This is one piece of the puzzle needed to make shared writable mapping work safely in FUSE. Needed by cachefs (Or is it cachefiles? Or fscache? <head spins>). At least four other groups have stated an interest in it or a desire to use the functionality it provides: FUSE, OCFS2, NTFS and JFFS2. Also, things like EXT3 really ought to use it to deal with the case of shared-writable mmap encountering ENOSPC before we permit the page to be dirtied. From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> get_user_pages(.write=1, .force=1) can generate COW hits on read-only shared mappings, this patch traps those as mkpage_write candidates and fails to handle them the old way.

Passing an invalid pointer to kfree() and kmem_cache_free() is likely to cause bad memory corruption or even take down the whole system because the bad pointer is likely reused immediately due to the per-CPU caches. Until now, we don't do any verification for this if CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is disabled. As suggested by Linus, add PageSlab check to page_to_cache() and page_to_slab() to verify pointers passed to kfree(). Also, move the stronger check from cache_free_debugcheck() to kmem_cache_free() to ensure the passed pointer actually belongs to the cache we're about to free the object. For page_to_cache() and page_to_slab(), the assertions should have virtually no extra cost (two instructions, no data cache pressure) and for kmem_cache_free() the overhead should be minimal.

This implements the use of migration entries to preserve ptes of file backed pages during migration. Processes can therefore be migrated back and forth without loosing their connection to pagecache pages. Note that we implement the migration entries only for linear mappings. Nonlinear mappings still require the unmapping of the ptes for migration. And another writepage() ugliness shows up. writepage() can drop the page lock. Therefore we have to remove migration ptes before calling writepages() in order to avoid having migration entries point to unlocked pages. Signed-off-by:

If we install a migration entry then the rss not really decreases since the page is just moved somewhere else. We can save ourselves the work of decrementing and later incrementing which will just eventually cause cacheline bouncing. Signed-off-by:

Use the migration entries for page migration This modifies the migration code to use the new migration entries. It now becomes possible to migrate anonymous pages without having to add a swap entry. We add a couple of new functions to replace migration entries with the proper ptes. We cannot take the tree_lock for migrating anonymous pages anymore. However, we know that we hold the only remaining reference to the page when the page count reaches 1. Signed-off-by:

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.

Change handling of address spaces. Pass a pointer to the address space in which the page is migrated to all migration function. This avoids repeatedly having to retrieve the address space pointer from the page and checking it for validity. The old page mapping will change once migration has gone to a certain step, so it is less confusing to have the pointer always available.

Extract try_to_unmap and rename remove_references -> move_mapping try_to_unmap() may significantly change the page state by for example setting the dirty bit. It is therefore best to unmap in migrate_pages() before calling any migration functions. migrate_page_remove_references() will then only move the new page in place of the old page in the mapping. Rename the function to migrate_page_move_mapping(). This allows us to get rid of the special unmapping for the fallback path. Signed-off-by:

Drop nr_refs parameter from migrate_page_remove_references() The nr_refs parameter is not really useful since the number of remaining references is always 1 for anonymous pages without a mapping 2 for pages with a mapping 3 for pages with a mapping and PagePrivate set.

When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0) to mean "this is not a write-a-range request". To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control. So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always. And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end. This patch does, - Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h -1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did, range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1" u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)" or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end. - All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic. - Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange. If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates ->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is scanned.

The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it should also be a BUG. Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree): radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1); to fail silently, but when preceded by: radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item); it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert.
