vfree: add debug might_sleep()

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

Add might_sleep() call to vfree() to catch potential sleep-in-atomic bugs
earlier.

mm/vmalloc.c: improve vfree() kerneldoc

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

vfree() might sleep if called not in interrupt context.  Explain that in
the comment.

mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for architectures

2018-08-17T23:20:29+00:00

Some architectures just don't have PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC.  The mm/nommu.c and
mm/vmalloc.c code have been using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback for years.
Move this fallback to asm-generic.

mm: use octal not symbolic permissions

2018-06-14T22:55:25+00:00

mm/*.c files use symbolic and octal styles for permissions.

Using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/2/1945

Prefer the direct use of octal for permissions.

Done using
$ scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace mm/*.c
and some typing.

Before:	 $ git grep -P -w "0[0-7]{3,3}" mm | wc -l
44
After:	 $ git grep -P -w "0[0-7]{3,3}" mm | wc -l
86

Miscellanea:

o Whitespace neatening around these conversions.

mm: vmalloc: pass proper vm_start into debugobjects

2018-06-08T00:34:35+00:00

Client can call vunmap with some intermediate 'addr' which may not be
the start of the VM area.  Entire unmap code works with vm->vm_start
which is proper but debug object API is called with 'addr'.  This could
be a problem within debug objects.

Pass proper start address into debug object API.

mm: vmalloc: avoid racy handling of debugobjects in vunmap

2018-06-08T00:34:35+00:00

Currently, __vunmap flow is,
 1) Release the VM area
 2) Free the debug objects corresponding to that vm area.

This leave some race window open.
 1) Release the VM area
 1.5) Some other client gets the same vm area
 1.6) This client allocates new debug objects on the same
      vm area
 2) Free the debug objects corresponding to this vm area.

Here, we actually free 'other' client's debug objects.

Fix this by freeing the debug objects first and then releasing the VM
area.

mm: vmalloc: clean up vunmap to avoid pgtable ops twice

2018-06-08T00:34:35+00:00

vunmap does page table clear operations twice in the case when
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT is enabled.

So, clean up the code as that is unintended.

As a perf gain, we save few us.  Below ftrace data was obtained while
doing 1 MB of vmalloc/vfree on ARM64 based SoC *without* this patch
applied.  After this patch, we can save ~3 us (on 1 extra
vunmap_page_range).

  CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
  |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
 6)               |  __vunmap() {
 6)               |    vmap_debug_free_range() {
 6)   3.281 us    |      vunmap_page_range();
 6) + 45.468 us   |    }
 6)   2.760 us    |    vunmap_page_range();
 6) ! 505.105 us  |  }

Variant of proc_create_data that directly take a struct seq_operations

vmalloc: fix __GFP_HIGHMEM usage for vmalloc_32 on 32b systems

2018-02-21T23:35:43+00:00

Kai Heng Feng has noticed that BUG_ON(PageHighMem(pg)) triggers in
drivers/media/common/saa7146/saa7146_core.c since 19809c2da28a ("mm,
vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly").

saa7146_vmalloc_build_pgtable uses vmalloc_32 and it is reasonable to
expect that the resulting page is not in highmem.  The above commit
aimed to add __GFP_HIGHMEM only for those requests which do not specify
any zone modifier gfp flag.  vmalloc_32 relies on GFP_VMALLOC32 which
should do the right thing.  Except it has been missed that GFP_VMALLOC32
is an alias for GFP_KERNEL on 32b architectures.  Thanks to Matthew to
notice this.

Fix the problem by unconditionally setting GFP_DMA32 in GFP_VMALLOC32
for !64b arches (as a bailout).  This should do the right thing and use
ZONE_NORMAL which should be always below 4G on 32b systems.

Debugged by Matthew Wilcox.
