Servers happened below panic: Kernel version:5.4.56 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000002c48 RIP: 0010:__next_zones_zonelist+0x1d/0x40 Call Trace: __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x277/0x310 alloc_page_interleave+0x13/0x70 handle_mm_fault+0xf99/0x1390 __do_page_fault+0x288/0x500 do_page_fault+0x30/0x110 page_fault+0x3e/0x50 The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid). So access to zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic. In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol->v.nodes, after this other threads may chang pol->v.nodes before next_node(). This race condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES. So put pol->nodes in a local variable. The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask: CPU0: CPU1: alloc_pages_vma() interleave_nid(pol,) offset_il_node(pol,) first_node(pol->v.nodes) cpuset_change_task_nodemask //nodes==0xc mpol_rebind_task mpol_rebind_policy mpol_rebind_nodemask(pol,nodes) //nodes==0x3 next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210906034658.48721-1-yanghui.def@bytedance.comSigned-off-by: yanghui <yanghui.def@bytedance.com> Reviewed-by: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In a memory pressure situation, I'm seeing the lockdep WARNING below. Actually, this is similar to a known false positive which is already addressed by commit 6dcde60e ("xfs: more lockdep whackamole with kmem_alloc*"). This warning still persists because it's not from kmalloc() itself but from an allocation for kmemleak object. While kmalloc() itself suppress the warning with __GFP_NOLOCKDEP, gfp_kmemleak_mask() is dropping the flag for the kmemleak's allocation. Allow __GFP_NOLOCKDEP to be passed to kmemleak's allocation, so that the warning for it is also suppressed. ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.14.0-rc7-BTRFS-ZNS+ #37 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/288 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88825ab45df0 (&xfs_nondir_ilock_class){++++}-{3:3}, at: xfs_ilock+0x8a/0x250 but task is already holding lock: ffffffff848cc1e0 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x5/0x30 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}: fs_reclaim_acquire+0x112/0x160 kmem_cache_alloc+0x48/0x400 create_object.isra.0+0x42/0xb10 kmemleak_alloc+0x48/0x80 __kmalloc+0x228/0x440 kmem_alloc+0xd3/0x2b0 kmem_alloc_large+0x5a/0x1c0 xfs_attr_copy_value+0x112/0x190 xfs_attr_shortform_getvalue+0x1fc/0x300 xfs_attr_get_ilocked+0x125/0x170 xfs_attr_get+0x329/0x450 xfs_get_acl+0x18d/0x430 get_acl.part.0+0xb6/0x1e0 posix_acl_xattr_get+0x13a/0x230 vfs_getxattr+0x21d/0x270 getxattr+0x126/0x310 __x64_sys_fgetxattr+0x1a6/0x2a0 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae -> #0 (&xfs_nondir_ilock_class){++++}-{3:3}: __lock_acquire+0x2c0f/0x5a00 lock_acquire+0x1a1/0x4b0 down_read_nested+0x50/0x90 xfs_ilock+0x8a/0x250 xfs_can_free_eofblocks+0x34f/0x570 xfs_inactive+0x411/0x520 xfs_fs_destroy_inode+0x2c8/0x710 destroy_inode+0xc5/0x1a0 evict+0x444/0x620 dispose_list+0xfe/0x1c0 prune_icache_sb+0xdc/0x160 super_cache_scan+0x31e/0x510 do_shrink_slab+0x337/0x8e0 shrink_slab+0x362/0x5c0 shrink_node+0x7a7/0x1a40 balance_pgdat+0x64e/0xfe0 kswapd+0x590/0xa80 kthread+0x38c/0x460 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(fs_reclaim); lock(&xfs_nondir_ilock_class); lock(fs_reclaim); lock(&xfs_nondir_ilock_class); *** DEADLOCK *** 3 locks held by kswapd0/288: #0: ffffffff848cc1e0 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x5/0x30 #1: ffffffff848a08d8 (shrinker_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: shrink_slab+0x269/0x5c0 #2: ffff8881a7a820e8 (&type->s_umount_key#60){++++}-{3:3}, at: super_cache_scan+0x5a/0x510 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210907055659.3182992-1-naohiro.aota@wdc.comSigned-off-by: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@wdc.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: "Darrick J .

Commit f56ce412 ("mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to proportional memory.low reclaim") introduced a divide by zero corner case when oomd is being used in combination with cgroup memory.low protection. When oomd decides to kill a cgroup, it will force the cgroup memory to be reclaimed after killing the tasks, by writing to the memory.max file for that cgroup, forcing the remaining page cache and reclaimable slab to be reclaimed down to zero. Previously, on cgroups with some memory.low protection that would result in the memory being reclaimed down to the memory.low limit, or likely not at all, having the page cache reclaimed asynchronously later. With f56ce412 the oomd write to memory.max tries to reclaim all the way down to zero, which may race with another reclaimer, to the point of ending up with the divide by zero below. This patch implements the obvious fix.

After fork, the child process will get incorrect (2x) hugetlb_usage. If a process uses 5 2MB hugetlb pages in an anonymous mapping, HugetlbPages: 10240 kB and then forks, the child will show, HugetlbPages: 20480 kB The reason for double the amount is because hugetlb_usage will be copied from the parent and then increased when we copy page tables from parent to child. Child will have 2x actual usage. Fix this by adding hugetlb_count_init in mm_init.

Previously, we noticed the one rpma example was failed[1] since commit 36f30e48 ("IB/core: Improve ODP to use hmm_range_fault()"), where it will use ODP feature to do RDMA WRITE between fsdax files. After digging into the code, we found hmm_vma_handle_pte() will still return EFAULT even though all the its requesting flags has been fulfilled. That's because a DAX page will be marked as (_PAGE_SPECIAL | PAGE_DEVMAP) by pte_mkdevmap().

The compat implementations for mbind, get_mempolicy, set_mempolicy and migrate_pages are just there to handle the subtly different layout of bitmaps on 32-bit hosts. The compat implementation however lacks some of the checks that are present in the native one, in particular for checking that the extra bits are all zero when user space has a larger mask size than the kernel. Worse, those extra bits do not get cleared when copying in or out of the kernel, which can lead to incorrect data as well. Unify the implementation to handle the compat bitmap layout directly in the get_nodes() and copy_nodes_to_user() helpers. Splitting out the get_bitmap() helper from get_nodes() also helps readability of the native case. On x86, two additional problems are addressed by this: compat tasks can pass a bitmap at the end of a mapping, causing a fault when reading across the page boundary for a 64-bit word. x32 tasks might also run into problems with get_mempolicy corrupting data when an odd number of 32-bit words gets passed. On parisc the migrate_pages() system call apparently had the wrong calling convention, as big-endian architectures expect the words inside of a bitmap to be swapped. This is not a problem though since parisc has no NUMA support.

kimage_alloc_init() expects a __user pointer, so compat_sys_kexec_load() uses compat_alloc_user_space() to convert the layout and put it back onto the user space caller stack. Moving the user space access into the syscall handler directly actually makes the code simpler, as the conversion for compat mode can now be done on kernel memory.

Going through compat_alloc_user_space() to convert indirect system call arguments tends to add complexity compared to handling the native and compat logic in the same code.

Disable preemption on -RT for the vmstat code. On vanila the code runs in IRQ-off regions while on -RT it may not when stats are updated under a local_lock. "preempt_disable" ensures that the same resources is not updated in parallel due to preemption. This patch differs from the preempt-rt version where __count_vm_event and __count_vm_events are also protected. The counters are explicitly "allowed to be to be racy" so there is no need to protect them from preemption. Only the accurate page stats that are updated by a read-modify-write need protection. This patch also differs in that a preempt_[en|dis]able_rt helper is not used. As vmstat is the only user of the helper, it was suggested that it be open-coded in vmstat.c instead of risking the helper being used in unnecessary contexts.

Pull SLUB updates from Vlastimil Babka: "SLUB: reduce irq disabled scope and make it RT compatible This series was initially inspired by Mel's pcplist local_lock rewrite, and also interest to better understand SLUB's locking and the new primitives and RT variants and implications. It makes SLUB compatible with PREEMPT_RT and generally more preemption-friendly, apparently without significant regressions, as the fast paths are not affected. The main changes to SLUB by this series: - irq disabling is now only done for minimum amount of time needed to protect the strict kmem_cache_cpu fields, and as part of spin lock, local lock and bit lock operations to make them irq-safe - SLUB is fully PREEMPT_RT compatible The series should now be sufficiently tested in both RT and !RT configs, mainly thanks to Mike. The RFC/v1 version also got basic performance screening by Mel that didn't show major regressions. Mike's testing with hackbench of v2 on !RT reported negligible differences [6]: virgin(ish) tip 5.13.0.g60ab3ed-tip 7,320.67 msec task-clock # 7.792 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.31% ) 221,215 context-switches # 0.030 M/sec ( +- 3.97% ) 16,234 cpu-migrations # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 4.07% ) 13,233 page-faults # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 0.91% ) 27,592,205,252 cycles # 3.769 GHz ( +- 0.32% ) 8,309,495,040 instructions # 0.30 insn per cycle ( +- 0.37% ) 1,555,210,607 branches # 212.441 M/sec ( +- 0.42% ) 5,484,209 branch-misses # 0.35% of all branches ( +- 2.13% ) 0.93949 +- 0.00423 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.45% ) 0.94608 +- 0.00384 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.41% ) (repeat) 0.94422 +- 0.00410 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.43% ) 5.13.0.g60ab3ed-tip +slub-local-lock-v2r3 7,343.57 msec task-clock # 7.776 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.44% ) 223,044 context-switches # 0.030 M/sec ( +- 3.02% ) 16,057 cpu-migrations # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 4.03% ) 13,164 page-faults # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 0.97% ) 27,684,906,017 cycles # 3.770 GHz ( +- 0.45% ) 8,323,273,871 instructions # 0.30 insn per cycle ( +- 0.28% ) 1,556,106,680 branches # 211.901 M/sec ( +- 0.31% ) 5,463,468 branch-misses # 0.35% of all branches ( +- 1.33% ) 0.94440 +- 0.00352 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.37% ) 0.94830 +- 0.00228 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.24% ) (repeat) 0.93813 +- 0.00440 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.47% ) (repeat) RT configs showed some throughput regressions, but that's expected tradeoff for the preemption improvements through the RT mutex. It didn't prevent the v2 to be incorporated to the 5.13 RT tree [7], leading to testing exposure and bugfixes. Before the series, SLUB is lockless in both allocation and free fast paths, but elsewhere, it's disabling irqs for considerable periods of time - especially in allocation slowpath and the bulk allocation, where IRQs are re-enabled only when a new page from the page allocator is needed, and the context allows blocking. The irq disabled sections can then include deactivate_slab() which walks a full freelist and frees the slab back to page allocator or unfreeze_partials() going through a list of percpu partial slabs. The RT tree currently has some patches mitigating these, but we can do much better in mainline too. Patches 1-6 are straightforward improvements or cleanups that could exist outside of this series too, but are prerequsities. Patches 7-9 are also preparatory code changes without functional changes, but not so useful without the rest of the series. Patch 10 simplifies the fast paths on systems with preemption, based on (hopefully correct) observation that the current loops to verify tid are unnecessary. Patches 11-20 focus on reducing irq disabled scope in the allocation slowpath: - patch 11 moves disabling of irqs into ___slab_alloc() from its callers, which are the allocation slowpath, and bulk allocation. Instead these callers only disable preemption to stabilize the cpu. - The following patches then gradually reduce the scope of disabled irqs in ___slab_alloc() and the functions called from there. As of patch 14, the re-enabling of irqs based on gfp flags before calling the page allocator is removed from allocate_slab(). As of patch 17, it's possible to reach the page allocator (in case of existing slabs depleted) without disabling and re-enabling irqs a single time. Pathces 21-26 reduce the scope of disabled irqs in functions related to unfreezing percpu partial slab. Patch 27 is preparatory. Patch 28 is adopted from the RT tree and converts the flushing of percpu slabs on all cpus from using IPI to workqueue, so that the processing isn't happening with irqs disabled in the IPI handler. The flushing is not performance critical so it should be acceptable. Patch 29 also comes from RT tree and makes object_map_lock RT compatible. Patch 30 make slab_lock irq-safe on RT where we cannot rely on having irq disabled from the list_lock spin lock usage. Patch 31 changes kmem_cache_cpu->partial handling in put_cpu_partial() from cmpxchg loop to a short irq disabled section, which is used by all other code modifying the field. This addresses a theoretical race scenario pointed out by Jann, and makes the critical section safe wrt with RT local_lock semantics after the conversion in patch 35. Patch 32 changes preempt disable to migrate disable, so that the nested list_lock spinlock is safe to take on RT. Because migrate_disable() is a function call even on !RT, a small set of private wrappers is introduced to keep using the cheaper preempt_disable() on !PREEMPT_RT configurations. As of this patch, SLUB should be already compatible with RT's lock semantics. Finally, patch 33 changes irq disabled sections that protect kmem_cache_cpu fields in the slow paths, with a local lock. However on PREEMPT_RT it means the lockless fast paths can now preempt slow paths which don't expect that, so the local lock has to be taken also in the fast paths and they are no longer lockless. RT folks seem to not mind this tradeoff. The patch also updates the locking documentation in the file's comment" Mike Galbraith and Mel Gorman verified that their earlier testing observations still hold for the final series: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/89ba4f783114520c167cc915ba949ad2c04d6790.camel@gmx.de/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210907082010.GB3959@techsingularity.net/ * tag 'mm-slub-5.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/linux: (33 commits) mm, slub: convert kmem_cpu_slab protection to local_lock mm, slub: use migrate_disable() on PREEMPT_RT mm, slub: protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs instead of cmpxchg mm, slub: make slab_lock() disable irqs with PREEMPT_RT mm: slub: make object_map_lock a raw_spinlock_t mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations __free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context mm, slab: split out the cpu offline variant of flush_slab() mm, slub: don't disable irqs in slub_cpu_dead() mm, slub: only disable irq with spin_lock in __unfreeze_partials() mm, slub: separate detaching of partial list in unfreeze_partials() from unfreezing mm, slub: detach whole partial list at once in unfreeze_partials() mm, slub: discard slabs in unfreeze_partials() without irqs disabled mm, slub: move irq control into unfreeze_partials() mm, slub: call deactivate_slab() without disabling irqs mm, slub: make locking in deactivate_slab() irq-safe mm, slub: move reset of c->page and freelist out of deactivate_slab() mm, slub: stop disabling irqs around get_partial() mm, slub: check new pages with restored irqs mm, slub: validate slab from partial list or page allocator before making it cpu slab mm, slub: restore irqs around calling new_slab() ...

sysvipc_find_ipc() was left with a costly way to check if the offset position fed to it is bigger than the total number of IPC IDs in use. So much so that the time it takes to iterate over /proc/sysvipc/* files grows exponentially for a custom benchmark that creates "N" SYSV shm segments and then times the read of /proc/sysvipc/shm (milliseconds): 12 msecs to read 1024 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 18 msecs to read 2048 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 65 msecs to read 4096 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 325 msecs to read 8192 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 1303 msecs to read 16384 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 5182 msecs to read 32768 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm The root problem lies with the loop that computes the total amount of ids in use to check if the "pos" feeded to sysvipc_find_ipc() grew bigger than "ids->in_use". That is a quite inneficient way to get to the maximum index in the id lookup table, specially when that value is already provided by struct ipc_ids.max_idx. This patch follows up on the optimization introduced via commit 15df03c8 ("sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again") and gets rid of the aforementioned costly loop replacing it by a simpler checkpoint based on ipc_get_maxidx() returned value, which allows for a smooth linear increase in time complexity for the same custom benchmark: 2 msecs to read 1024 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 2 msecs to read 2048 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 4 msecs to read 4096 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 9 msecs to read 8192 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 19 msecs to read 16384 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 39 msecs to read 32768 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210809203554.1562989-1-aquini@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Acked-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Cc: Waiman Long <llong@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
