The old code was always doing: vma->vm_end = next->vm_end vma_rb_erase(next) // in __vma_unlink vma->vm_next = next->vm_next // in __vma_unlink next = vma->vm_next vma_gap_update(next) The new code still does the above for remove_next == 1 and 2, but for remove_next == 3 it has been changed and it does: next->vm_start = vma->vm_start vma_rb_erase(vma) // in __vma_unlink vma_gap_update(next) In the latter case, while unlinking "vma", validate_mm_rb() is told to ignore "vma" that is being removed, but next->vm_start was reduced instead. So for the new case, to avoid the false positive from validate_mm_rb, it should be "next" that is ignored when "vma" is being unlinked. "vma" and "next" in the above comment, considered pre-swap().

The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the pte/pmd manipulations). So it's not safe to wait the caller to update the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks. The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks. The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma. migrate mprotect ------------ ------------- migrating in "next" vma vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and # extends "current" vma # current vma is not with # vm_page_prot updated remove_migration_ptes read vm_page_prot of current "vma" establish pte with wrong permissions vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late! change_protection in the old vma range only, next range is not updated This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction in the background. Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger, in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen. This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN to: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully. It has the added benefits that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range, as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before releasing the rmap_locks).

mm->highest_vm_end doesn't need any update. After finally removing the oddness from vma_merge case 8 that was causing: 1) constant risk of trouble whenever anybody would check vma fields from rmap_walks, like it happened when page migration was introduced and it read the vma->vm_page_prot from a rmap_walk 2) the callers of vma_merge to re-initialize any value different from the current vma, instead of vma_merge() more reliably returning a vma that already matches all fields passed as parameter .. it is also worth to take the opportunity of cleaning up superfluous code in vma_adjust(), that if not removed adds up to the hard readability of the function.

vma->vm_page_prot is read lockless from the rmap_walk, it may be updated concurrently and this prevents the risk of reading intermediate values. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474660305-19222-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

According to Hugh's suggestion, alloc_stable_node() with GFP_KERNEL can in rare cases cause a hung task warning. At present, if alloc_stable_node() allocation fails, two break_cows may want to allocate a couple of pages, and the issue will come up when free memory is under pressure. We fix it by adding __GFP_HIGH to GFP, to grant access to memory reserves, increasing the likelihood of allocation success.

For every pfn aligned to minimum_order, dissolve_free_huge_pages() will call dissolve_free_huge_page() which takes the hugetlb spinlock, even if the page is not huge at all or a hugepage that is in-use. Improve this by doing the PageHuge() and page_count() checks already in dissolve_free_huge_pages() before calling dissolve_free_huge_page(). In dissolve_free_huge_page(), when holding the spinlock, those checks need to be revalidated. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160926172811.94033-4-gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

In dissolve_free_huge_pages(), free hugepages will be dissolved without making sure that there are enough of them left to satisfy hugepage reservations. Fix this by adding a return value to dissolve_free_huge_pages() and checking h->free_huge_pages vs. h->resv_huge_pages. Note that this may lead to the situation where dissolve_free_huge_page() returns an error and all free hugepages that were dissolved before that error are lost, while the memory block still cannot be set offline.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: memory offline issues with hugepages", v4. This addresses several issues with hugepages and memory offline. While the first patch fixes a panic, and is therefore rather important, the last patch is just a performance optimization. The second patch fixes a theoretical issue with reserved hugepages, while still leaving some ugly usability issue, see description. This patch (of 3): dissolve_free_huge_pages() will either run into the VM_BUG_ON() or a list corruption and addressing exception when trying to set a memory block offline that is part (but not the first part) of a "gigantic" hugetlb page with a size > memory block size. When no other smaller hugetlb page sizes are present, the VM_BUG_ON() will trigger directly. In the other case we will run into an addressing exception later, because dissolve_free_huge_page() will not work on the head page of the compound hugetlb page which will result in a NULL hstate from page_hstate(). To fix this, first remove the VM_BUG_ON() because it is wrong, and then use the compound head page in dissolve_free_huge_page(). This means that an unused pre-allocated gigantic page that has any part of itself inside the memory block that is going offline will be dissolved completely. Losing an unused gigantic hugepage is preferable to failing the memory offline, for example in the situation where a (possibly faulty) memory DIMM needs to go offline.

Commit c32b3cbe ("oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless") inserted a WARN_ON() into pagefault_out_of_memory() in order to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer. Now, patch "oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs. pm suspend properly" introduced a timeout for oom_killer_disable(). Even if we raced with disabling the OOM killer and the system is OOM livelocked, the OOM killer will be enabled eventually (in 20 seconds by default) and the OOM livelock will be solved. Therefore, we no longer need to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473442120-7246-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jpSigned-off-by:

Fragmentation index and the vm.extfrag_threshold sysctl is meant as a heuristic to prevent excessive compaction for costly orders (i.e. THP). It's unlikely to make any difference for non-costly orders, especially with the default threshold. But we cannot afford any uncertainty for the non-costly orders where the only alternative to successful reclaim/compaction is OOM. After the recent patches we are guaranteed maximum effort without heuristics from compaction before deciding OOM, and fragindex is the last remaining heuristic. Therefore skip fragindex altogether for non-costly orders. Suggested-by:

Vlastimil Babka authored
The compaction_zonelist_suitable() function tries to determine if compaction will be able to proceed after sufficient reclaim, i.e. whether there are enough reclaimable pages to provide enough order-0 freepages for compaction. This addition of reclaimable pages to the free pages works well for the order-0 watermark check, but in the fragmentation index check we only consider truly free pages. Thus we can get fragindex value close to 0 which indicates failure do to lack of memory, and wrongly decide that compaction won't be suitable even after reclaim. Instead of trying to somehow adjust fragindex for reclaimable pages, let's just skip it from compaction_zonelist_suitable().

Several people have reported premature OOMs for order-2 allocations (stack) due to OOM rework in 4.7. In the scenario (parallel kernel build and dd writing to two drives) many pageblocks get marked as Unmovable and compaction free scanner struggles to isolate free pages. Joonsoo Kim pointed out that the free scanner skips pageblocks that are not movable to prevent filling them and forcing non-movable allocations to fallback to other pageblocks. Such heuristic makes sense to help prevent long-term fragmentation, but premature OOMs are relatively more urgent problem. As a compromise, this patch disables the heuristic only for the ultimate compaction priority. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160906135258.18335-5-vbabka@suse.czReported-by:

The new ultimate compaction priority disables some heuristics, which may result in excessive cost. This is fine for non-costly orders where we want to try hard before resulting for OOM, but might be disruptive for costly orders which do not trigger OOM and should generally have some fallback. Thus, we disable the full priority for costly orders. Suggested-by:

During reclaim/compaction loop, compaction priority can be increased by the should_compact_retry() function, but the current code is not optimal. Priority is only increased when compaction_failed() is true, which means that compaction has scanned the whole zone. This may not happen even after multiple attempts with a lower priority due to parallel activity, so we might needlessly struggle on the lower priorities and possibly run out of compaction retry attempts in the process. After this patch we are guaranteed at least one attempt at the highest compaction priority even if we exhaust all retries at the lower priorities.

Patch series "reintroduce compaction feedback for OOM decisions". After several people reported OOM's for order-2 allocations in 4.7 due to Michal Hocko's OOM rework, he reverted the part that considered compaction feedback [1] in the decisions to retry reclaim/compaction. This was to provide a fix quickly for 4.8 rc and 4.7 stable series, while mmotm had an almost complete solution that instead improved compaction reliability. This series completes the mmotm solution and reintroduces the compaction feedback into OOM decisions. The first two patches restore the state of mmotm before the temporary solution was merged, the last patch should be the missing piece for reliability. The third patch restricts the hardened compaction to non-costly orders, since costly orders don't result in OOMs in the first place. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181 ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches. This reverts commit 6b4e3181.

This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not 0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree descending and increased cache footprint. This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%, when the type of the swap device is 1.

mem_cgroup_count_precharge() and mem_cgroup_move_charge() both call walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, neither provide a pte_hole callback, which causes the current implementation to skip non-vma regions. This is all fine but follow up changes would like to make walk_page_range more generic so it is better to be explicit about which range to traverse so let's use highest_vm_end to explicitly traverse only user mmaped memory.

The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter value. CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be reduced accordingly. To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced: MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch the global counter in two cases: 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page; 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero. Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it was ever used. And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired, I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero. Case used for test on Haswell EP: usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

Trying to walk all of virtual memory requires architecture specific knowledge. On x86_64, addresses must be sign extended from bit 48, whereas on arm64 the top VA_BITS of address space have their own set of page tables. clear_refs_write() calls walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, it provides a test_walk() callback that only expects to be walking over VMAs. Currently walk_pmd_range() will skip memory regions that don't have a VMA, reporting them as a hole. As this call only expects to walk user address space, make it walk 0 to 'highest_vm_end'.

In current kernel code, we only call node_set_state(cpu_to_node(cpu), N_CPU) when a cpu is hot plugged. But we do not set the node state for N_CPU when the cpus are brought online during boot. So this could lead to failure when we check to see if a node contains cpu with node_state(node_id, N_CPU). One use case is in the node_reclaime function: /* * Only run node reclaim on the local node or on nodes that do * not * have associated processors. This will favor the local * processor * over remote processors and spread off node memory allocations * as wide as possible. */ if (node_state(pgdat->node_id, N_CPU) && pgdat->node_id != numa_node_id()) return NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN; I instrumented the kernel to call this function after boot and it always returns 0 on a x86 desktop machine until I apply the attached patch. int num_cpu_node(void) { int i, nr_cpu_nodes = 0; for_each_node(i) { if (node_state(i, N_CPU)) ++ nr_cpu_nodes; } return nr_cpu_nodes; } Fix this by checking each node for online CPU when we initialize vmstat that's responsible for maintaining node state.

To support DAX pmd mappings with unmodified applications, filesystems need to align an mmap address by the pmd size. Call thp_get_unmapped_area() from f_op->get_unmapped_area. Note, there is no change in behavior for a non-DAX file. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472497881-9323-3-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.comSigned-off-by:

When CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD is set, DAX supports mmap() using pmd page size. This feature relies on both mmap virtual address and FS block (i.e. physical address) to be aligned by the pmd page size. Users can use mkfs options to specify FS to align block allocations. However, aligning mmap address requires code changes to existing applications for providing a pmd-aligned address to mmap(). For instance, fio with "ioengine=mmap" performs I/Os with mmap() [1]. It calls mmap() with a NULL address, which needs to be changed to provide a pmd-aligned address for testing with DAX pmd mappings. Changing all applications that call mmap() with NULL is undesirable. Add thp_get_unmapped_area(), which can be called by filesystem's get_unmapped_area to align an mmap address by the pmd size for a DAX file. It calls the default handler, mm->get_unmapped_area(), to find a range and then aligns it for a DAX file. The patch is based on Matthew Wilcox's change that allows adding support of the pud page size easily.

When one vma was with flag VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT (by invoking mlock2(,MLOCK_ONFAULT)), it can again be populated with mlock() with VM_LOCKED flag only. There is a hole in mlock_fixup() which increase mm->locked_vm twice even the two operations are on the same vma and both with VM_LOCKED flags. The issue can be reproduced by following code: mlock2(p, 1024 * 64, MLOCK_ONFAULT); //VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT mlock(p, 1024 * 64); //VM_LOCKED Then check the increase VmLck field in /proc/pid/status(to 128k). When vma is set with different vm_flags, and the new vm_flags is with VM_LOCKED, it is not necessarily be a "new locked" vma. This patch corrects this bug by prevent mm->locked_vm from increment when old vm_flags is already VM_LOCKED.
