Current xen-selfballoon driver is too aggressive which may cause OOM be triggered more often. Eg. this bug reported by James: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/21/158 There are two mainly reasons: 1) The original goal_page didn't consider some pages used by kernel space, like slab pages and pages used by device drivers. 2) The balloon driver may not give back memory to guest OS fast enough when the workload suddenly aquries a lot of physical memory. In both cases, the guest OS will suffer from memory pressure and OOM may be triggered. The fix is make xen-selfballoon driver not that aggressive by adding extra 10% of total ram pages to goal_page. It's more valuable to keep the guest system reliable and response faster than balloon out these 10% pages to XEN.

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Suggested-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken: asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg, unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags, struct compat_timespec __user *timeout) { int datagrams; struct timespec ktspec; if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) return -EINVAL; if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME) return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen, flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT, (struct timespec *) timeout); ... The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to __sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first. The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c ("compat: Use COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support along with this code). Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables. Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle: "The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv". The patch series describes this core as follows. "The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port, and optional floating point unit." The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families. It adds support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

David Rientjes authored
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f4 ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a defined point in the past. mprotect() doesn't change the content of memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit. This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are dumped. On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are dumped. So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly. This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify() is called only for present pages. Fixes commit 0f8975ec ("mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking").

Commit abca7c49 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except when using a real double-cmpxchg. Doing so can lose updates to ->_count. That is an absolute rule: You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg. Commit abca7c49 fixed this for the folks who have the slub cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case alone. It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two cases: 1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on the distro kernels that I looked at. 2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64 cpus, evidently) There are at least 3 ways we could fix this: 1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and __cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new and target 'struct page'. 2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'. 3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}. I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code. This patch is an attempt at (3). This was the most straightforward and foolproof way that I could think to do this. This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly #if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \ defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE) in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that 'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

As a result of commit 5606e387 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as "prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file. This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is MPOL_PREFERRED for node N. If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local node allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and changes rw_semaphore with mutex. So, we could do old: read-read: OK read-write: NO write-write: NO Now: read-read: OK read-write: OK write-write: NO The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't support SPIN_ON_OWNER. It's side effect but anyway good thing for us. Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Commit a0c516cb ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity") introduced free request pending code to avoid scheduling by mutex under spinlock and it was a mess which made code lenghty and increased overhead. Now, we don't need zram->lock any more to free slot so this patch reverts it and then, tb_lock should protect it.

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility. Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock. This patch adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock) which is hurdle about zram scalability. Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock from read-path and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path. With bonus, we could drop pending slot free mess in next patch.

Some of fields in zram->stats are protected by zram->lock which is rather coarse-grained so let's use atomic operation without explict locking. This patch is ready for removing dependency of zram->lock in read path which is very coarse-grained rw_semaphore. Of course, this patch adds new atomic operation so it might make slow but my 12CPU test couldn't spot any regression.

Sergey reported we don't need to handle pending free request every I/O so that this patch removes it in read path while we remain it in write path. Let's consider below example. Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates "A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block. :( That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before zram-write.

Dan and Sergey reported that there is a racy between reset and flushing of pending work so that it could make oops by freeing zram->meta in reset while zram_slot_free can access zram->meta if new request is adding during the race window. This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents new request so that it closes the race.
