mm: hwpoison: use do_send_sig_info() instead of force_sig()

2019-02-01T23:46:23+00:00

Currently memory_failure() is racy against process's exiting, which
results in kernel crash by null pointer dereference.

The root cause is that memory_failure() uses force_sig() to forcibly
kill asynchronous (meaning not in the current context) processes.  As
discussed in thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/8/236 years ago for OOM
fixes, this is not a right thing to do.  OOM solves this issue by using
do_send_sig_info() as done in commit d2d393099de2 ("signal:
oom_kill_task: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()"), so this
patch is suggesting to do the same for hwpoison.  do_send_sig_info()
properly accesses to siglock with lock_task_sighand(), so is free from
the reported race.

I confirmed that the reported bug reproduces with inserting some delay
in kill_procs(), and it never reproduces with this patch.

Note that memory_failure() can send another type of signal using
force_sig_mceerr(), and the reported race shouldn't happen on it because
force_sig_mceerr() is called only for synchronous processes (i.e.
BUS_MCEERR_AR happens only when some process accesses to the corrupted
memory.)

hugetlbfs: revert "use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization"

2019-01-09T01:15:11+00:00

This reverts b43a9990055958e70347c56f90ea2ae32c67334c

The reverted commit caused issues with migration and poisoning of anon
huge pages.  The LTP move_pages12 test will cause an "unable to handle
kernel NULL pointer" BUG would occur with stack similar to:

  RIP: 0010:down_write+0x1b/0x40
  Call Trace:

    do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The purpose of the reverted patch was to fix some long existing races
with huge pmd sharing.  It used i_mmap_rwsem for this purpose with the
idea that this could also be used to address truncate/page fault races
with another patch.  Further analysis has determined that i_mmap_rwsem
can not be used to address all these hugetlbfs synchronization issues.
Therefore, revert this patch while working an another approach to the
underlying issues.

hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization

2018-12-28T20:11:51+00:00

While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table.  Consider the following:

A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep.  Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.

Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file.  As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped.  If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called.  For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd.  If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse.  This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.

To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:

- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
  huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
  huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling.  In addition, callers
  of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with the
  ptep.

- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is
  called.

dax: Fix unlock mismatch with updated API

2018-12-05T05:32:00+00:00

Internal to dax_unlock_mapping_entry(), dax_unlock_entry() is used to
store a replacement entry in the Xarray at the given xas-index with the
DAX_LOCKED bit clear. When called, dax_unlock_entry() expects the unlocked
value of the entry relative to the current Xarray state to be specified.

In most contexts dax_unlock_entry() is operating in the same scope as
the matched dax_lock_entry(). However, in the dax_unlock_mapping_entry()
case the implementation needs to recall the original entry. In the case
where the original entry is a 'pmd' entry it is possible that the pfn
performed to do the lookup is misaligned to the value retrieved in the
Xarray.

Change the api to return the unlock cookie from dax_lock_page() and pass
it to dax_unlock_page(). This fixes a bug where dax_unlock_page() was
assuming that the page was PMD-aligned if the entry was a PMD entry with
signatures like:

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.19_dax-memory-failure' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2018-08-26T01:43:59+00:00

Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
 "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
  backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
  possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
  mappings.

  In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:

   1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
      that would typically be handled by the page lock.

   2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
      "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
      the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.

   3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
      accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
      otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.

  A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
  for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
  system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
  Specifically the current behavior is:

     mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
     {1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
     mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged

mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation

2018-08-24T01:48:43+00:00

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline.  This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."

Two main changes of this patch are:

- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
  in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
  freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
  after put_page() returns,

- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
  freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
  that is decided to be allocated soon.

mm: fix race on soft-offlining free huge pages

2018-08-24T01:48:43+00:00

Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation".

Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages
of soft offlining.  Discussion and analysis showed that we need make
sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under
zone->lock for soft offline.  1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2
hanldes free buddy page's case.

This patch (of 2):

There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which
causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure.

The process killing is caused by the following flow:

  CPU 0               CPU 1              CPU 2

  soft offline
    get_any_page
    // find the hugetlb is free
                      mmap a hugetlb file
                      page fault
                        ...
                          hugetlb_fault
                            hugetlb_no_page
                              alloc_huge_page
                              // succeed
      soft_offline_free_page
      // set hwpoison flag
                                         mmap the hugetlb file
                                         page fault
                                           ...
                                             hugetlb_fault
                                               hugetlb_no_page
                                                 find_lock_page
                                                   return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
                                           mm_fault_error
                                             do_sigbus
                                             // kill the process

The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow:

  CPU 0                          CPU 1

                                 mmap a hugetlb file
                                 // reserve all free page but don't fault-in
  soft offline
    get_any_page
    // find the hugetlb is free
      soft_offline_free_page
      // set hwpoison flag
        dissolve_free_huge_page
        // fail because all free hugepages are reserved
                                 page fault
                                   ...
                                     hugetlb_fault
                                       hugetlb_no_page
                                         alloc_huge_page
                                           ...
                                             dequeue_huge_page_node_exact
                                             // ignore hwpoisoned hugepage
                                             // and finally fail due to no-mem

The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based
on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid
accessing the corrupted data.  This makes sense for memory_failure() or
hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about
corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost.  This patch
changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after
containment of the error page completes successfully.

In contrast to typical memory, dev_pagemap pages may be dax mapped. With
dax there is no possibility to map in another page dynamically since dax
establishes 1:1 physical address to file offset associations. Also
dev_pagemap pages associated with NVDIMM / persistent memory devices can
internal remap/repair addresses with poison. While memory_failure()
assumes that it can discard typical poisoned pages and keep them
unmapped indefinitely, dev_pagemap pages may be returned to service
after the error is cleared.

Teach memory_failure() to detect and handle MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST
dev_pagemap pages that have poison consumed by userspace. Mark the
memory as UC instead of unmapping it completely to allow ongoing access
via the device driver (nd_pmem). Later, nd_pmem will grow support for
marking the page back to WB when the error is cleared.
