vmscan: fix increasing nr_isolated incurred by putback unevictable pages

2015-09-29T17:33:32+00:00

commit c54839a722a02818677bcabe57e957f0ce4f841d upstream.

reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() assumes that shrink_page_list() returns
number of pages removed from the candidate list.  But shrink_page_list()
puts back mlocked pages without passing it to caller and without
counting as nr_reclaimed.  This increases nr_isolated.

To fix this, this patch changes shrink_page_list() to pass unevictable
pages back to caller.  Caller will take care those pages.

Minchan said:

It fixes two issues.

1. With unevictable page, cma_alloc will be successful.

Exactly speaking, cma_alloc of current kernel will fail due to
unevictable pages.

2. fix leaking of NR_ISOLATED counter of vmstat

With it, too_many_isolated works.  Otherwise, it could make hang until
the process get SIGKILL.

memory-hotplug: add hot-added memory ranges to memblock before allocate node_data for a node.

2015-09-21T17:10:59+00:00

commit 7f36e3e56db1ae75d1e157011b3cb2e0957f0a7e upstream.

Commit f9126ab9241f ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new
node") hot-added memory range to memblock, after creating pgdat for new
node.

But there is a problem:

  add_memory()
  |--> hotadd_new_pgdat()
       |--> free_area_init_node()
            |--> get_pfn_range_for_nid()
                 |--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock
  |--> ......
  |--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid)    --------    Here, just too late.

get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0.
As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong
message.

  Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff]
  On node 5 totalpages: 0
  Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on.  Total pages: 32588823
  Policy zone: Normal
  init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff]

The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little
earlier, before hotadd_new_pgdat().

mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust

2015-08-21T21:30:10+00:00

Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():

        if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
                skb->pfmemalloc = true;

It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
to NULL and leave page->index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.

So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.

The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.

The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).

mm: cma: mark cma_bitmap_maxno() inline in header

2015-08-14T22:56:32+00:00

cma_bitmap_maxno() was marked as static and not static inline, which can
cause warnings about this function not being used if this file is included
in a file that does not call that function, and violates the conventions
used elsewhere.  The two options are to move the function implementation
back to mm/cma.c or make it inline here, and it's simple enough for the
latter to make sense.

memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new node

2015-08-14T22:56:32+00:00

When we add a new node, the edge of memory may be wrong.

e.g. system has 4 nodes, and node3 is movable, node3 mem:[24G-32G],

1. hotremove the node3,
2. then hotadd node3 with a part of memory, mem:[26G-30G],
3. call hotadd_new_pgdat()
        free_area_init_node()
                get_pfn_range_for_nid()
4. it will return wrong start_pfn and end_pfn, because we have not
update the memblock.

This patch also fixes a BUG_ON during hot-addition, please see

Huge zero page is allocated if page fault w/o FAULT_FLAG_WRITE flag.
The get_user_pages_fast() which called in madvise_hwpoison() will get
huge zero page if the page is not allocated before.  Huge zero page is a
tranparent huge page, however, it is not an anonymous page.
memory_failure will split the huge zero page and trigger
BUG_ON(is_huge_zero_page(page));

After commit 98ed2b0052e6 ("mm/memory-failure: give up error handling
for non-tail-refcounted thp"), memory_failure will not catch non anon
thp from madvise_hwpoison path and this bug occur.

Fix it by catching non anon thp in memory_failure in order to not split
huge zero page in madvise_hwpoison path.

mm/hwpoison: fix fail isolate hugetlbfs page w/ refcount held

2015-08-14T22:56:32+00:00

Hugetlbfs pages will get a refcount in get_any_page() or
madvise_hwpoison() if soft offlining through madvise.  The refcount which
is held by the soft offline path should be released if we fail to isolate
hugetlbfs pages.

Fix it by reducing the refcount for both isolation success and failure.

After trying to drain pages from pagevec/pageset, we try to get reference
