delayacct: support swapin delay accounting for swapping without blkio

2022-01-20T06:52:55+00:00

Currently delayacct accounts swapin delay only for swapping that cause
blkio.  If we use zram for swapping, tools/accounting/getdelays can't
get any SWAP delay.

It's useful to get zram swapin delay information, for example to adjust
compress algorithm or /proc/sys/vm/swappiness.

Reference to PSI, it accounts any kind of swapping by doing its work in
swap_readpage(), no matter whether swapping causes blkio.  Let delayacct
do the similar work.

mm: change page type prior to adding page table entry

2022-01-15T14:30:28+00:00

Patch series "page table check", v3.

Ensure that some memory corruptions are prevented by checking at the
time of insertion of entries into user page tables that there is no
illegal sharing.

We have recently found a problem [1] that existed in kernel since 4.14.
The problem was caused by broken page ref count and led to memory
leaking from one process into another.  The problem was accidentally
detected by studying a dump of one process and noticing that one page
contains memory that should not belong to this process.

There are some other page->_refcount related problems that were recently
fixed: [2], [3] which potentially could also lead to illegal sharing.

In addition to hardening refcount [4] itself, this work is an attempt to
prevent this class of memory corruption issues.

It uses a simple state machine that is independent from regular MM logic
to check for illegal sharing at time pages are inserted and removed from
page tables.

[4] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211221150140.988298-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com

This patch (of 4):

There are a few places where we first update the entry in the user page
table, and later change the struct page to indicate that this is
anonymous or file page.

In most places, however, we first configure the page metadata and then
insert entries into the page table.  Page table check, will use the
information from struct page to verify the type of entry is inserted.

Change the order in all places to first update struct page, and later to
update page table.

This means that we first do calls that may change the type of page (anon
or file):

	page_move_anon_rmap
	page_add_anon_rmap
	do_page_add_anon_rmap
	page_add_new_anon_rmap
	page_add_file_rmap
	hugepage_add_anon_rmap
	hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap

And after that do calls that add entries to the page table:

	set_huge_pte_at
	set_pte_at

mm: move tlb_flush_pending inline helpers to mm_inline.h

2022-01-15T14:30:27+00:00

linux/mm_types.h should only define structure definitions, to make it
cheap to include elsewhere.  The atomic_t helper function definitions
are particularly large, so it's better to move the helpers using those
into the existing linux/mm_inline.h and only include that where needed.

As a follow-up, we may want to go through all the indirect includes in
mm_types.h and reduce them as much as possible.

mm: remove redundant smp_wmb()

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

The smp_wmb() which is in the __pte_alloc() is used to ensure all ptes
setup is visible before the pte is made visible to other CPUs by being
put into page tables.  We only need this when the pte is actually
populated, so move it to pmd_install().  __pte_alloc_kernel(),
__p4d_alloc(), __pud_alloc() and __pmd_alloc() are similar to this case.

We can also defer smp_wmb() to the place where the pmd entry is really
populated by preallocated pte.  There are two kinds of user of
preallocated pte, one is filemap & finish_fault(), another is THP.  The
former does not need another smp_wmb() because the smp_wmb() has been
done by pmd_install().  Fortunately, the latter also does not need
another smp_wmb() because there is already a smp_wmb() before populating
the new pte when the THP uses a preallocated pte to split a huge pmd.
