mm/hwpoison: fix page refcount of unknown non LRU page

2015-09-13T16:07:59+00:00

commit 4f32be677b124a49459e2603321c7a5605ceb9f8 upstream.

After trying to drain pages from pagevec/pageset, we try to get reference
count of the page again, however, the reference count of the page is not
reduced if the page is still not on LRU list.

Fix it by adding the put_page() to drop the page reference which is from
__get_any_page().

mm/memory-failure: call shake_page() when error hits thp tail page

2015-05-17T16:51:32+00:00

commit 09789e5de18e4e442870b2d700831f5cb802eb05 upstream.

Currently memory_failure() calls shake_page() to sweep pages out from
pcplists only when the victim page is 4kB LRU page or thp head page.
But we should do this for a thp tail page too.

Consider that a memory error hits a thp tail page whose head page is on
a pcplist when memory_failure() runs.  Then, the current kernel skips
shake_pages() part, so hwpoison_user_mappings() returns without calling
split_huge_page() nor try_to_unmap() because PageLRU of the thp head is
still cleared due to the skip of shake_page().

As a result, me_huge_page() runs for the thp, which is broken behavior.

One effect is a leak of the thp.  And another is to fail to isolate the
memory error, so later access to the error address causes another MCE,
which kills the processes which used the thp.

This patch fixes this problem by calling shake_page() for thp tail case.

mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED

2014-07-01T03:09:42+00:00

commit 74614de17db6fb472370c426d4f934d8d616edf2 upstream.

When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported
an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not
want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS
handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that
they might never actually see.

task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks
whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with
"prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for
all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill.

But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer.  The error is in the
execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS
immediatley.

Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to
task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread

2014-07-01T03:09:42+00:00

commit a70ffcac741d31a406c1d2b832ae43d658e7e1cf upstream.

When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because
of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread.  Currently we fail to do that
if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process.
collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test:

	if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) {

will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active
thread at this time).

We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the
process that collect_procs() said owned the page.  If so, we send the
SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).

mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak by race between poison and unpoison

2014-06-11T19:03:22+00:00

commit 3e030ecc0fc7de10fd0da10c1c19939872a31717 upstream.

When a memory error happens on an in-use page or (free and in-use)
hugepage, the victim page is isolated with its refcount set to one.

When you try to unpoison it later, unpoison_memory() calls put_page()
for it twice in order to bring the page back to free page pool (buddy or
free hugepage list).  However, if another memory error occurs on the
page which we are unpoisoning, memory_failure() returns without
releasing the refcount which was incremented in the same call at first,
which results in memory leak and unconsistent num_poisoned_pages
statistics.  This patch fixes it.

hwpoison, hugetlb: lock_page/unlock_page does not match for handling a free hugepage

2014-06-07T20:25:31+00:00

commit b985194c8c0a130ed155b71662e39f7eaea4876f upstream.

For handling a free hugepage in memory failure, the race will happen if
another thread hwpoisoned this hugepage concurrently.  So we need to
check PageHWPoison instead of !PageHWPoison.

If hwpoison_filter(p) returns true or a race happens, then we need to
unlock_page(hpage).

mm: close PageTail race

2014-04-03T19:01:05+00:00

commit 668f9abbd4334e6c29fa8acd71635c4f9101caa7 upstream.

Commit bf6bddf1924e ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for
ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction
which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page).

This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the
aforementioned page_count(page).  Indeed, anything that does
compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with
prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page
pointer.

This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that
deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head()
implementation.  This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that
if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither
NULL nor dangling.  The patch then adds a store memory barrier to
prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set.

This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are
expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the
memory barriers are unfortunately required.

Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier
during init since no race is possible.

mm/memory-failure.c: move refcount only in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED

2014-02-22T20:41:26+00:00

commit 8d547ff4ac5927245e0833ac18528f939da0ee0e upstream.

mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail
page.  This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in
madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e47d5e
("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page
after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page.

When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where
memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems
to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes
little sense.

This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid
testing.

mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak in successful soft offlining

2014-02-20T19:06:12+00:00

commit f15bdfa802bfa5eb6b4b5a241b97ec9fa1204a35 upstream.

After a successful page migration by soft offlining, the source page is
not properly freed and it's never reusable even if we unpoison it
afterward.

This is caused by the race between freeing page and setting PG_hwpoison.
In successful soft offlining, the source page is put (and the refcount
becomes 0) by putback_lru_page() in unmap_and_move(), where it's linked
to pagevec and actual freeing back to buddy is delayed.  So if
PG_hwpoison is set for the page before freeing, the freeing does not
functions as expected (in such case freeing aborts in
free_pages_prepare() check.)

This patch tries to make sure to free the source page before setting
PG_hwpoison on it.  To avoid reallocating, the page keeps
MIGRATE_ISOLATE until after setting PG_hwpoison.

This patch also removes obsolete comments about "keeping elevated
refcount" because what they say is not true.  Unlike memory_failure(),
soft_offline_page() uses no special page isolation code, and the
soft-offlined pages have no elevated.

mm/memory-failure.c: shift page lock from head page to tail page after thp split

2014-02-13T21:48:00+00:00

commit 54b9dd14d09f24927285359a227aa363ce46089e upstream.

After thp split in hwpoison_user_mappings(), we hold page lock on the
raw error page only between try_to_unmap, hence we are in danger of race
condition.

I found in the RHEL7 MCE-relay testing that we have "bad page" error
when a memory error happens on a thp tail page used by qemu-kvm:

  Triggering MCE exception on CPU 10

The reason of this bug is that a page fault happens before unlocking the
head page at the end of memory_failure().  This strange page fault is
trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does
this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the
way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked
page (which was the former head page.)

To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to
tail page just after thp split.  SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects
only error affected VMs, not a whole system.
