linux-toradex.git/mm, branch v4.4.13 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules mm: use phys_addr_t for reserve_bootmem_region() arguments 2016-06-08T01:14:35+00:00 Stefan Bader stefan.bader@canonical.com 2016-05-20T23:58:38+00:00 18875bf7728d25dec9bce7966c2fe4fefd5d00bc commit 4b50bcc7eda4d3cc9e3f2a0aa60e590fedf728c5 upstream. Since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions. However start and end address are passed as unsigned long. This is only 32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for ranges at 4GB and above. This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory (dom0_mem=1024M for example). This would define a reserved bootmem region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range). But since the addresses were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

zsmalloc: fix zs_can_compact() integer overflow 2016-05-19T00:06:44+00:00 Sergey Senozhatsky sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com 2016-05-09T23:28:49+00:00 1d77f0a51cb6517d72146c6cb81a997b060b68b2 commit 44f43e99fe70833058482d183e99fdfd11220996 upstream. zs_can_compact() has two race conditions in its core calculation: unsigned long obj_wasted = zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_ALLOCATED) - zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_USED); 1) classes are not locked, so the numbers of allocated and used objects can change by the concurrent ops happening on other CPUs 2) shrinker invokes it from preemptible context Depending on the circumstances, thus, OBJ_ALLOCATED can become less than OBJ_USED, which can result in either very high or negative `total_scan' value calculated later in do_shrink_slab(). do_shrink_slab() has some logic to prevent those cases: vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-64 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 However, due to the way `total_scan' is calculated, not every shrinker->count_objects() overflow can be spotted and handled.

commit 44f43e99fe70833058482d183e99fdfd11220996 upstream.

zs_can_compact() has two race conditions in its core calculation:

unsigned long obj_wasted = zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_ALLOCATED) -
				zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_USED);

1) classes are not locked, so the numbers of allocated and used
   objects can change by the concurrent ops happening on other CPUs
2) shrinker invokes it from preemptible context

Depending on the circumstances, thus, OBJ_ALLOCATED can become
less than OBJ_USED, which can result in either very high or
negative `total_scan' value calculated later in do_shrink_slab().

do_shrink_slab() has some logic to prevent those cases:

 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-64
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62

However, due to the way `total_scan' is calculated, not every
shrinker->count_objects() overflow can be spotted and handled.
To demonstrate the latter, I added some debugging code to do_shrink_slab()
(x86_64) and the results were:

 vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
 vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 92679974445502
 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 92679974445502
[..]
 vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
 vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 22634041808232578
 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 22634041808232578

Even though shrinker->count_objects() has returned an overflowed value,
the resulting `total_scan' is positive, and, what is more worrisome, it
is insanely huge. This value is getting used later on in
shrinker->scan_objects() loop:

        while (total_scan >= batch_size ||
               total_scan >= freeable) {
                unsigned long ret;
                unsigned long nr_to_scan = min(batch_size, total_scan);

                shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = nr_to_scan;
                ret = shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl);
                if (ret == SHRINK_STOP)
                        break;
                freed += ret;

                count_vm_events(SLABS_SCANNED, nr_to_scan);
                total_scan -= nr_to_scan;

                cond_resched();
        }

`total_scan >= batch_size' is true for a very-very long time and
'total_scan >= freeable' is also true for quite some time, because
`freeable < 0' and `total_scan' is large enough, for example,
22634041808232578. The only break condition, in the given scheme of
things, is shrinker->scan_objects() == SHRINK_STOP test, which is a
bit too weak to rely on, especially in heavy zsmalloc-usage scenarios.

To fix the issue, take a pool stat snapshot and use it instead of
racy zs_stat_get() calls.

writeback: Fix performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh() 2016-05-11T09:21:18+00:00 Howard Cochran hcochran@kernelspring.com 2016-03-10T06:12:39+00:00 4bc9468f1680e799e3036a6e816ed9ecfc7d98a3 commit 74d369443325063a5f0260e63971decb950fd8fa upstream. Commit 947e9762a8dd ("writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use wb_domain aware operations") unintentionally changed this function's meaning from "are there more dirty pages than the background writeback threshold" to "are there more dirty pages than the writeback threshold". The background writeback threshold is typically half of the writeback threshold, so this had the effect of raising the number of dirty pages required to cause a writeback worker to perform background writeout. This can cause a very severe performance regression when a BDI uses BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT because balance_dirty_pages() and the writeback worker can now disagree on whether writeback should be initiated. For example, in a system having 1GB of RAM, a single spinning disk, and a "pass-through" FUSE filesystem mounted over the disk, application code mmapped a 128MB file on the disk and was randomly dirtying pages in that mapping. Because FUSE uses strictlimit and has a default max_ratio of only 1%, in balance_dirty_pages, thresh is ~200, bg_thresh is ~100, and the dirty_freerun_ceiling is the average of those, ~150. So, it pauses the dirtying processes when we have 151 dirty pages and wakes up a background writeback worker. But the worker tests the wrong threshold (200 instead of 100), so it does not initiate writeback and just returns. Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the few dirty pages that we have finally expire and we write them back for that reason. Then the whole process repeats, resulting in near-zero throughput through the FUSE BDI. The fix is to call the parameterized variant of wb_calc_thresh, so that the worker will do writeback if the bg_thresh is exceeded which was the behavior before the referenced commit.

commit 74d369443325063a5f0260e63971decb950fd8fa upstream.

Commit 947e9762a8dd ("writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use
wb_domain aware operations") unintentionally changed this function's
meaning from "are there more dirty pages than the background writeback
threshold" to "are there more dirty pages than the writeback threshold".
The background writeback threshold is typically half of the writeback
threshold, so this had the effect of raising the number of dirty pages
required to cause a writeback worker to perform background writeout.

This can cause a very severe performance regression when a BDI uses
BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT because balance_dirty_pages() and the writeback worker
can now disagree on whether writeback should be initiated.

For example, in a system having 1GB of RAM, a single spinning disk, and a
"pass-through" FUSE filesystem mounted over the disk, application code
mmapped a 128MB file on the disk and was randomly dirtying pages in that
mapping.

Because FUSE uses strictlimit and has a default max_ratio of only 1%, in
balance_dirty_pages, thresh is ~200, bg_thresh is ~100, and the
dirty_freerun_ceiling is the average of those, ~150. So, it pauses the
dirtying processes when we have 151 dirty pages and wakes up a background
writeback worker. But the worker tests the wrong threshold (200 instead of
100), so it does not initiate writeback and just returns.

Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the
worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the few
dirty pages that we have finally expire and we write them back for that
reason. Then the whole process repeats, resulting in near-zero throughput
through the FUSE BDI.

The fix is to call the parameterized variant of wb_calc_thresh, so that the
worker will do writeback if the bg_thresh is exceeded which was the
behavior before the referenced commit.

mm: update min_free_kbytes from khugepaged after core initialization 2016-05-11T09:21:17+00:00 Jason Baron jbaron@akamai.com 2016-05-05T23:22:12+00:00 24b8a175a66946ccb4ca227df52f517e1d8f5ef6 commit bc22af74f271ef76b2e6f72f3941f91f0da3f5f8 upstream. Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low. However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call. Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into the starting of the khugepaged thread. The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous initialization ordering is restored. I didn't restore the late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering. On an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365 when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

mm, cma: prevent nr_isolated_* counters from going negative 2016-05-11T09:21:14+00:00 Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com 2016-05-05T23:22:15+00:00 d27e2ddc40b632db8f84c4d3236e8191d0eabc69 commit 14af4a5e9b26ad251f81c174e8a43f3e179434a5 upstream. /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh warns nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file go increasingly negative under compaction: which would add delay when should be none, or no delay when should delay.

mm/hwpoison: fix wrong num_poisoned_pages accounting 2016-05-04T21:48:49+00:00 Minchan Kim minchan@kernel.org 2016-04-28T23:18:44+00:00 36abe7272a248a7e47a4cec8d8ec9c76ef387bac commit d7e69488bd04de165667f6bc741c1c0ec6042ab9 upstream. Currently, migration code increses num_poisoned_pages on *failed* migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial of memory-failure. It will make the stat wrong. As well, it marks the page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial failed. It would mean we cannot recover the corrupted page using memory-failure facility. This patches fixes it.

commit d7e69488bd04de165667f6bc741c1c0ec6042ab9 upstream.

Currently, migration code increses num_poisoned_pages on *failed*
migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial of
memory-failure.  It will make the stat wrong.  As well, it marks the
page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial failed.  It would mean
we cannot recover the corrupted page using memory-failure facility.

This patches fixes it.

mm: vmscan: reclaim highmem zone if buffer_heads is over limit 2016-05-04T21:48:49+00:00 Minchan Kim minchan@kernel.org 2016-04-28T23:18:38+00:00 87c855f150be9317b9b6ad82c1611ed8d577d986 commit 7bf52fb891b64b8d61caf0b82060adb9db761aec upstream. We have been reclaimed highmem zone if buffer_heads is over limit but commit 6b4f7799c6a5 ("mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone()") changed the behavior so it doesn't reclaim highmem zone although buffer_heads is over the limit.

numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP 2016-05-04T21:48:49+00:00 Gerald Schaefer gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com 2016-04-28T23:18:35+00:00 e513b90a9aef91e6399decb8e9592f2d75f7ebad commit 28093f9f34cedeaea0f481c58446d9dac6dd620f upstream. In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture. On s390 this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte. On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance, but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is available. In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be skipped. On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel. This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd" variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

commit 28093f9f34cedeaea0f481c58446d9dac6dd620f upstream.

In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture.  On s390
this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.

On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
available.  In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
skipped.  On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.

This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

mm/huge_memory: replace VM_NO_THP VM_BUG_ON with actual VMA check 2016-05-04T21:48:49+00:00 Konstantin Khlebnikov koct9i@gmail.com 2016-04-28T23:18:32+00:00 be591a683e3b4cc58466e08cd6b5e4a71c02b19a commit 3486b85a29c1741db99d0c522211c82d2b7a56d0 upstream. Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap. This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where they are not expected.
