memory_hotplug: cond_resched in __remove_pages

2018-11-03T17:09:38+00:00

We have received a bug report that unbinding a large pmem (>1TB) can
result in a soft lockup:

It has been reported on an older (4.12) kernel but the current upstream
code doesn't cond_resched in the hot remove code at all and the given
range to remove might be really large.  Fix the issue by calling
cond_resched once per memory section.

mm/memory_hotplug: fix online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock

2018-10-31T15:54:17+00:00

There seem to be some problems as result of 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug:
fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlock"), which tried to fix a possible
lock inversion reported and discussed in [1] due to the two locks
	a) device_lock()
	b) mem_hotplug_lock

While add_memory() first takes b), followed by a) during
bus_probe_device(), onlining of memory from user space first took a),
followed by b), exposing a possible deadlock.

In [1], and it was decided to not make use of device_hotplug_lock, but
rather to enforce a locking order.

The problems I spotted related to this:

1. Memory block device attributes: While .state first calls
   mem_hotplug_begin() and the calls device_online() - which takes
   device_lock() - .online does no longer call mem_hotplug_begin(), so
   effectively calls online_pages() without mem_hotplug_lock.

2. device_online() should be called under device_hotplug_lock, however
   onlining memory during add_memory() does not take care of that.

In addition, I think there is also something wrong about the locking in

3. arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c calls offline_pages()
   without locks. This was introduced after 30467e0b3be. And skimming over
   the code, I assume it could need some more care in regards to locking
   (e.g. device_online() called without device_hotplug_lock. This will
   be addressed in the following patches.

Now that we hold the device_hotplug_lock when
- adding memory (e.g. via add_memory()/add_memory_resource())
- removing memory (e.g. via remove_memory())
- device_online()/device_offline()

We can move mem_hotplug_lock usage back into
online_pages()/offline_pages().

Why is mem_hotplug_lock still needed? Essentially to make
get_online_mems()/put_online_mems() be very fast (relying on
device_hotplug_lock would be very slow), and to serialize against
addition of memory that does not create memory block devices (hmm).

[1] http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/ driverdev-devel/
    2015-February/065324.html

This patch is partly based on a patch by Vitaly Kuznetsov.

mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock

2018-10-31T15:54:17+00:00

add_memory() currently does not take the device_hotplug_lock, however
is aleady called under the lock from
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
to synchronize against CPU hot-remove and similar.

In general, we should hold the device_hotplug_lock when adding memory to
synchronize against online/offline request (e.g.  from user space) - which
already resulted in lock inversions due to device_lock() and
mem_hotplug_lock - see 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory
hot-add deadlock").  add_memory()/add_memory_resource() will create memory
block devices, so this really feels like the right thing to do.

Holding the device_hotplug_lock makes sure that a memory block device
can really only be accessed (e.g. via .online/.state) from user space,
once the memory has been fully added to the system.

The lock is not held yet in
	drivers/xen/balloon.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
	drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c
	drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
So, let's either use the locked variants or take the lock.

Don't export add_memory_resource(), as it once was exported to be used by
XEN, which is never built as a module.  If somebody requires it, we also
have to export a locked variant (as device_hotplug_lock is never
exported).

mm/memory_hotplug: make remove_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock

2018-10-31T15:54:17+00:00

Patch series "mm: online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock", v3.

Reading through the code and studying how mem_hotplug_lock is to be used,
I noticed that there are two places where we can end up calling
device_online()/device_offline() - online_pages()/offline_pages() without
the mem_hotplug_lock.  And there are other places where we call
device_online()/device_offline() without the device_hotplug_lock.

While e.g.
	echo "online" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state
is fine, e.g.
	echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/online
Will not take the mem_hotplug_lock. However the device_lock() and
device_hotplug_lock.

E.g.  via memory_probe_store(), we can end up calling
add_memory()->online_pages() without the device_hotplug_lock.  So we can
have concurrent callers in online_pages().  We e.g.  touch in
online_pages() basically unprotected zone->present_pages then.

Looks like there is a longer history to that (see Patch #2 for details),
and fixing it to work the way it was intended is not really possible.  We
would e.g.  have to take the mem_hotplug_lock in device/base/core.c, which
sounds wrong.

Summary: We had a lock inversion on mem_hotplug_lock and device_lock().
More details can be found in patch 3 and patch 6.

I propose the general rules (documentation added in patch 6):

1. add_memory/add_memory_resource() must only be called with
   device_hotplug_lock.
2. remove_memory() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is
   already documented and holds for all callers.
3. device_online()/device_offline() must only be called with
   device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and true for now in core
   code. Other callers (related to memory hotplug) have to be fixed up.
4. mem_hotplug_lock is taken inside of add_memory/remove_memory/
   online_pages/offline_pages.

To me, this looks way cleaner than what we have right now (and easier to
verify).  And looking at the documentation of remove_memory, using
lock_device_hotplug also for add_memory() feels natural.

This patch (of 6):

remove_memory() is exported right now but requires the
device_hotplug_lock, which is not exported.  So let's provide a variant
that takes the lock and only export that one.

The lock is already held in
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c

Apart from that, there are not other users in the tree.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: clean up node_states_check_changes_offline()

2018-10-26T23:26:33+00:00

This patch, as the previous one, gets rid of the wrong if statements.
While at it, I realized that the comments are sometimes very confusing,
to say the least, and wrong.
For example:

___
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

/*
 * check whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] will be changed
 * If we try to offline the last present @nr_pages from the node,
 * we can determind we will need to clear the node from
 * node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY].
 */

for (; zt <= zone_last; zt++)
        present_pages += pgdat->node_zones[zt].present_pages;
if (nr_pages >= present_pages)
        arg->status_change_nid = zone_to_nid(zone);
else
        arg->status_change_nid = -1;
___

In case the node gets empry, it must be removed from N_MEMORY.  We already
check N_HIGH_MEMORY a bit above within the CONFIG_HIGHMEM ifdef code.  Not
to say that status_change_nid is for N_MEMORY, and not for N_HIGH_MEMORY.

So I re-wrote some of the comments to what I think is better.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: simplify node_states_check_changes_online

2018-10-26T23:26:33+00:00

While looking at node_states_check_changes_online, I stumbled upon some
confusing things.

Right after entering the function, we find this:

if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
        zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

This is wrong.
N_MEMORY cannot really be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
My guess is that this wanted to be something like:

if (N_NORMAL_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)

to check if we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.

Later on, in the CONFIG_HIGHMEM block, we have:

if (N_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
        zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

Again, this is wrong, and will never be evaluated to true.

Besides removing these wrong if statements, I simplified the function a
bit.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: spare unnecessary calls to node_set_state

2018-10-26T23:26:33+00:00

In node_states_check_changes_online, we check if the node will have to be
set for any of the N_*_MEMORY states after the pages have been onlined.

Later on, we perform the activation in node_states_set_node.  Currently,
in node_states_set_node we set the node to N_MEMORY unconditionally.

This means that we call node_set_state for N_MEMORY every time pages go
online, but we only need to do it if the node has not yet been set for
N_MEMORY.

Fix this by checking status_change_nid.

mm/hugetlb: filter out hugetlb pages if HUGEPAGE migration is not supported.

2018-09-04T23:45:02+00:00

When scanning for movable pages, filter out Hugetlb pages if hugepage
migration is not supported.  Without this we hit infinte loop in
__offline_pages() where we do

	pfn = scan_movable_pages(start_pfn, end_pfn);
	if (pfn) { /* We have movable pages */
		ret = do_migrate_range(pfn, end_pfn);
		goto repeat;
	}

Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in
has_unmovable_pages which is the primary backoff mechanism for page
offlining and for consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages
because it doesn't make any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable
huge page.

This issue was revealed by, but not caused by 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early").
