In NMI context, printk() messages are stored into per-CPU buffers to avoid a possible deadlock. They are normally flushed to the main ring buffer via an IRQ work. But the work is never called when the system calls panic() in the very same NMI handler. This patch tries to flush NMI buffers before the crash dump is generated. In this case it does not risk a double release and bails out when the logbuf_lock is already taken. The aim is to get the messages into the main ring buffer when possible. It makes them better accessible in the vmcore. Then the patch tries to flush the buffers second time when other CPUs are down. It might be more aggressive and reset logbuf_lock. The aim is to get the messages available for the consequent kmsg_dump() and console_flush_on_panic() calls. The patch causes vprintk_emit() to be called even in NMI context again. But it is done via printk_deferred() so that the console handling is skipped. Consoles use internal locks and we could not prevent a deadlock easily. They are explicitly called later when the crash dump is not generated, see console_flush_on_panic(). Signed-off-by:

Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit into the 4kB temporary buffer that is used in NMI context. The warnings are gone when I double the temporary buffer size. This patch doubles the buffer size and makes it configurable. Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific implementation that was added by the commit a9edc880 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). Nobody noticed it because it did not print any warnings. Signed-off-by:

We could not resize the temporary buffer in NMI context. Let's warn if a message is lost. This is rather theoretical. printk() should not be used in NMI. The only sensible use is when we want to print backtrace from all CPUs. The current buffer should be enough for this purpose. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: whitespace fixlet] Signed-off-by:

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI context. The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the commit a9edc880 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at minimum). Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context: WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE handlers. These are not easy to avoid. This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful for all messages and architectures that support NMI. The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the main ring buffer in a safe context. __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer. Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other flushers. We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use. It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe. The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag. The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI handling there first. Let's do it separately. The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327 [arnd@arndb.de: printk-nmi: use %zu format string for size_t] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: min_t->min - all types are size_t here] Signed-off-by:

In include/linux/syscalls.h, the four functions sys_kill, sys_tgkill, sys_tkill and sys_rt_sigqueueinfo are declared with "int pid" and "int tgid". However, in kernel/signal.c, the corresponding definitions use the more appropriate "pid_t" (which is a typedef'd int). This patch changes "int" to "pid_t" in the declarations of sys_kill, sys_tgkill, sys_tkill and sys_rt_sigqueueinfo in <linux/syscalls.h> in order to harmonize the function declarations with their respective definitions.

The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file system to be owned by ROOT. The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/comm. If PR_DUMPABLE is false this implementation is locked out. This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm" that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group regardless of the ownership of the inode. For all other threads the function falls back to the generic inode permission check. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix spello in comment] Signed-off-by:

It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it, which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely, especially if the main program might be multithreaded. Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains the file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks which have task->fs. This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier. The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports. Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

debug_stat sysfs is read-only and represents various debugging data that zram developers may need. This file is not meant to be used by anyone else: its content is not documented and will change any time w/o any notice. Therefore, the output of debug_stat file contains a version string. To avoid any confusion, we will increase the version number every time we modify the output. At the moment this file exports only one value -- the number of re-compressions, IOW, the number of times compression fast path has failed. This stat is temporary any will be useful in case if any per-cpu compression streams regressions will be reported.

Remove the internal part of max_comp_streams interface, since we switched to per-cpu streams. We will keep RW max_comp_streams attr around, because: a) we may (silently) switch back to idle compression streams list and don't want to disturb user space b) max_comp_streams attr must wait for the next 'lay off cycle'; we give user space 2 years to adjust before we remove/downgrade the attr, and there are already several attrs scheduled for removal in 4.11, so it's too late for max_comp_streams. This slightly change a user visible behaviour: - First, reading from max_comp_stream file now will always return the number of online CPUs. - Second, writing to max_comp_stream will not take any effect.

Change the return type of zs_pool_stat_create() to void, and remove the logic to abort pool creation if the stat debugfs dir/file could not be created. The debugfs stat file is for debugging/information only, and doesn't affect operation of zsmalloc; there is no reason to abort creating the pool if the stat file can't be created. This was seen with zswap, which used the same name for all pool creations, which caused zsmalloc to fail to create a second pool for zswap if CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT was enabled. Signed-off-by:

Add a work_struct to struct zswap_pool, and change __zswap_pool_empty to use the workqueue instead of using call_rcu(). When zswap destroys a pool no longer in use, it uses call_rcu() to perform the destruction/freeing. Since that executes in softirq context, it must not sleep. However, actually destroying the pool involves freeing the per-cpu compressors (which requires locking the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex) and freeing the zpool, for which the implementation may sleep (e.g. zsmalloc calls kmem_cache_destroy, which locks the slab_mutex). So if either mutex is currently taken, or any other part of the compressor or zpool implementation sleeps, it will result in a BUG(). It's not easy to reproduce this when changing zswap's params normally. In testing with a loaded system, this does not fail: $ cd /sys/module/zswap/parameters $ echo lz4 > compressor ; echo zsmalloc > zpool nor does this: $ while true ; do > echo lzo > compressor ; echo zbud > zpool > sleep 1 > echo lz4 > compressor ; echo zsmalloc > zpool > sleep 1 > done although it's still possible either of those might fail, depending on whether anything else besides zswap has locked the mutexes. However, changing a parameter with no delay immediately causes the schedule while atomic BUG: $ while true ; do > echo lzo > compressor ; echo lz4 > compressor > done This is essentially the same as Yu Zhao's proposed patch to zsmalloc, but moved to zswap, to cover compressor and zpool freeing.

Remove idle streams list and keep compression streams in per-cpu data. This removes two contented spin_lock()/spin_unlock() calls from write path and also prevent write OP from being preempted while holding the compression stream, which can cause slow downs. For instance, let's assume that we have N cpus and N-2 max_comp_streams.TASK1 owns the last idle stream, TASK2-TASK3 come in with the write requests: TASK1 TASK2 TASK3 zram_bvec_write() spin_lock find stream spin_unlock compress <<preempted>> zram_bvec_write() spin_lock find stream spin_unlock no_stream schedule zram_bvec_write() spin_lock find_stream spin_unlock no_stream schedule spin_lock release stream spin_unlock wake up TASK2 not only TASK2 and TASK3 will not get the stream, TASK1 will be preempted in the middle of its operation; while we would prefer it to finish compression and release the stream.

Pass GFP flags to zs_malloc() instead of using a fixed mask supplied to zs_create_pool(), so we can be more flexible, but, more importantly, we need this to switch zram to per-cpu compression streams -- zram will try to allocate handle with preemption disabled in a fast path and switch to a slow path (using different gfp mask) if the fast one has failed. Apart from that, this also align zs_malloc() interface with zspool/zbud.

There are many BUG_ON in zsmalloc.c which is not recommened so change them as alternatives. Normal rule is as follows: 1. avoid BUG_ON if possible. Instead, use VM_BUG_ON or VM_BUG_ON_PAGE 2. use VM_BUG_ON_PAGE if we need to see struct page's fields 3. use those assertion in primitive functions so higher functions can rely on the assertion in the primitive function. 4. Don't use assertion if following instruction can trigger Oops Signed-off-by:

Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language. Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler instruments only C code. Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory. Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the kernel.

Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE. The object is poisoned and put into quarantine instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated. When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator. From now on the allocator may reuse it for another allocation. Before that happens, it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it retains the allocation/deallocation stacks). When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped. Therefore a use of this object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning. Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place. Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues. When a cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are moved into the global quarantine queue. Whenever a kmalloc call allows memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical memory). As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is increased. Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect incorrect accesses to it. Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later. This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. A number of improvements have been suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

If page migration fails due to -ENOMEM, nr_failed should still be incremented for proper statistics. This was encountered recently when all page migration vmstats showed 0, and inferred that migrate_pages() was never called, although in reality the first page migration failed because compaction_alloc() failed to find a migration target. This patch increments nr_failed so the vmstat is properly accounted on ENOMEM. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.10.1605191510230.32658@chino.kir.corp.google.comSigned-off-by:

While testing the kcompactd in my platform 3G MEM only DMA ZONE. I found the kcompactd never wakeup. It seems the zoneindex has already minus 1 before. So the traverse here should be <=. It fixes a regression where kswapd could previously compact, but kcompactd not. Not a crash fix though.

If a large value is written to scan_sleep_millisecs, for example, that period must lapse before khugepaged will wake up for periodic collapsing. If this value is tuned to 1 day, for example, and then re-tuned to its default 10s, khugepaged will still wait for a day before scanning again. This patch causes khugepaged to wakeup immediately when the value is changed and then sleep until that value is rewritten or the new value lapses.

When nfsd is exporting a filesystem over NFS which is then NFS-mounted on the local machine there is a risk of deadlock. This happens when there are lots of dirty pages in the NFS filesystem and they cause NFSD to be throttled, either in throttle_vm_writeout() or in balance_dirty_pages(). To avoid this problem the PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag is set for NFSD threads and it provides a 25% increase to the limits that affect NFSD. Any process writing to an NFS filesystem will be throttled well before the number of dirty NFS pages reaches the limit imposed on NFSD, so NFSD will not deadlock on pages that it needs to write out. At least it shouldn't. All processes are allowed a small excess margin to avoid performing too many calculations: ratelimit_pages. ratelimit_pages is set so that if a thread on every CPU uses the entire margin, the total will only go 3% over the limit, and this is much less than the 25% bonus that PF_LESS_THROTTLE provides, so this margin shouldn't be a problem. But it is. The "total memory" that these 3% and 25% are calculated against are not really total memory but are "global_dirtyable_memory()" which doesn't include anonymous memory, just free memory and page-cache memory. The "ratelimit_pages" number is based on whatever the global_dirtyable_memory was on the last CPU hot-plug, which might not be what you expect, but is probably close to the total freeable memory. The throttle threshold uses the global_dirtable_memory at the moment when the throttling happens, which could be much less than at the last CPU hotplug. So if lots of anonymous memory has been allocated, thus pushing out lots of page-cache pages, then NFSD might end up being throttled due to dirty NFS pages because the "25%" bonus it gets is calculated against a rather small amount of dirtyable memory, while the "3%" margin that other processes are allowed to dirty without penalty is calculated against a much larger number. To remove this possibility of deadlock we need to make sure that the margin granted to PF_LESS_THROTTLE exceeds that rate-limit margin. Simply adding ratelimit_pages isn't enough as that should be multiplied by the number of cpus. So add "global_wb_domain.dirty_limit / 32" as that more accurately reflects the current total over-shoot margin. This ensures that the number of dirty NFS pages never gets so high that nfsd will be throttled waiting for them to be written.

Currently we check page->flags twice for "HWPoisoned" case of check_new_page_bad(), which can cause a race with unpoisoning. This race unnecessarily taints kernel with "BUG: Bad page state". check_new_page_bad() is the only caller of bad_page() which is interested in __PG_HWPOISON, so let's move the hwpoison related code in bad_page() to it.

fault_around aims to reduce minor faults of file-backed pages via speculative ahead pte mapping and relying on readahead logic. However, on non-HW access bit architecture the benefit is highly limited because they should emulate the young bit with minor faults for reclaim's page aging algorithm. IOW, we cannot reduce minor faults on those architectures. I did quick a test on my ARM machine. 512M file mmap sequential every word read on eSATA drive 4 times. stddev is stable. = fault_around 4096 = elapsed time(usec): 6747645 = fault_around 65536 = elapsed time(usec): 6709263 0.5% gain. Even when I tested it with eMMC there is no gain because I guess with slow storage the major fault is the dominant factor. Also, fault_around has the side effect of shrinking slab more aggressively and causes higher vmpressure, so if such speculation fails, it can evict slab more which can result in page I/O (e.g., inode cache). In the end, it would make void any benefit of fault_around. So let's make the default "disabled" on those architectures. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160518014229.GB21538@bboxSigned-off-by:

Currently, faultaround code produces young pte. This can screw up vmscan behaviour[1], as it makes vmscan think that these pages are hot and not push them out on first round. During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of them are young. Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay resident. Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed under memory pressure. This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines without hardware accessed bit as it will not help us with reducing the number of minor page faults. We may want to disable faultaround on such machines altogether, but that's subject for separate patchset. Minchan: "I tested 512M mmap sequential word read test on non-HW access bit system (i.e., ARM) and confirmed it doesn't increase minor fault any more. old: 4096 fault_around minor fault: 131291 elapsed time: 6747645 usec new: 65536 fault_around minor fault: 131291 elapsed time: 6709263 usec 0.56% benefit" [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1460992636-711-1-git-send-email-vinmenon@codeaurora.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463488366-47723-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

Since commit 92923ca3 ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions. However start and end address are passed as unsigned long. This is only 32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for ranges at 4GB and above. This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory (dom0_mem=1024M for example). This would define a reserved bootmem region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range). But since the addresses were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

userfaultfd_file_create() increments mm->mm_users; this means that the memory won't be unmapped/freed if mm owner exits/execs, and UFFDIO_COPY after that can populate the orphaned mm more. Change userfaultfd_file_create() and userfaultfd_ctx_put() to use mm->mm_count to pin mm_struct. This means that atomic_inc_not_zero(mm->mm_users) is needed when we are going to actually play with this memory. Except handle_userfault() path doesn't need this, the caller must already have a reference. The patch adds the new trivial helper, mmget_not_zero(), it can have more users.
