2012-03-15memcg: free mem_cgroup by RCU to fix oopsHugh Dickins
After fixing the GPF in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(), three times one machine running a similar load (moving and removing memcgs while swapping) has oopsed in mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages(), when retrieving memcg zone numbers for get_scan_count() for shrink_mem_cgroup_zone(): this is where a struct mem_cgroup is first accessed after being chosen by mem_cgroup_iter(). Just what protects a struct mem_cgroup from being freed, in between mem_cgroup_iter()'s css_get_next() and its css_tryget()? css_tryget() fails once css->refcnt is zero with CSS_REMOVED set in flags, yes: but what if that memory is freed and reused for something else, which sets "refcnt" non-zero? Hmm, and scope for an indefinite freeze if refcnt is left at zero but flags are cleared. It's tempting to move the css_tryget() into css_get_next(), to make it really "get" the css, but I don't think that actually solves anything: the same difficulty in moving from css_id found to stable css remains. But we already have rcu_read_lock() around the two, so it's easily fixed if __mem_cgroup_free() just uses kfree_rcu() to free mem_cgroup. However, a big struct mem_cgroup is allocated with vzalloc() instead of kzalloc(), and we're not allowed to vfree() at interrupt time: there doesn't appear to be a general vfree_rcu() to help with this, so roll our own using schedule_work(). The compiler decently removes vfree_work() and vfree_rcu() when the config doesn't need them.

2012-03-09memcg: revert fix to mapcount check for this releaseHugh Dickins
Respectfully revert commit e6ca7b89dc76 "memcg: fix mapcount check in move charge code for anonymous page" for the 3.3 release, so that it behaves exactly like releases 2.6.35 through 3.2 in this respect. Horiguchi-san's commit is correct in itself, 1 makes much more sense than 2 in that check; but it does not go far enough - swapcount should be considered too - if we really want such a check at all. We appear to have reached agreement now, and expect that 3.4 will remove the mapcount check, but had better not make 3.3 different.

2012-03-06vm: avoid using find_vma_prev() unnecessarilyLinus Torvalds
Several users of "find_vma_prev()" were not in fact interested in the previous vma if there was no primary vma to be found either. And in those cases, we're much better off just using the regular "find_vma()", and then "prev" can be looked up by just checking vma->vm_prev. The find_vma_prev() semantics are fairly subtle (see Mikulas' recent commit 83cd904d271b: "mm: fix find_vma_prev"), and the whole "return prev by reference" means that it generates worse code too. Thus this "let's avoid using this inconvenient and clearly too subtle interface when we don't really have to" patch.

2012-03-06mm: fix find_vma_prevMikulas Patocka
Commit 6bd4837de96e ("mm: simplify find_vma_prev()") broke memory management on PA-RISC. After application of the patch, programs that allocate big arrays on the stack crash with segfault, for example, this will crash if compiled without optimization: int main() { char array[200000]; array[199999] = 0; return 0; } The reason is that PA-RISC has up-growing stack and the stack is usually the last memory area. In the above example, a page fault happens above the stack. Previously, if we passed too high address to find_vma_prev, it returned NULL and stored the last VMA in *pprev. After "simplify find_vma_prev" change, it stores NULL in *pprev. Consequently, the stack area is not found and it is not expanded, as it used to be before the change. This patch restores the old behavior and makes it return the last VMA in *pprev if the requested address is higher than address of any other VMA.

2012-03-05mm: thp: fix BUG on mm->nr_ptesAndrea Arcangeli
Dave Jones reports a few Fedora users hitting the BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes...) in exit_mmap() recently. Quoting Hugh's discovery and explanation of the SMP race condition: "mm->nr_ptes had unusual locking: down_read mmap_sem plus page_table_lock when incrementing, down_write mmap_sem (or mm_users 0) when decrementing; whereas THP is careful to increment and decrement it under page_table_lock. Now most of those paths in THP also hold mmap_sem for read or write (with appropriate checks on mm_users), but two do not: when split_huge_page() is called by hwpoison_user_mappings(), and when called by add_to_swap(). It's conceivable that the latter case is responsible for the exit_mmap() BUG_ON mm->nr_ptes that has been reported on Fedora." The simplest way to fix it without having to alter the locking is to make split_huge_page() a noop in nr_ptes terms, so by counting the preallocated pagetables that exists for every mapped hugepage. It was an arbitrary choice not to count them and either way is not wrong or right, because they are not used but they're still allocated.

2012-03-05memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exitHugh Dickins
When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit). Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing. A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against removal. In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg, and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to 0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing. Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps some isolated for other reasons. So, force_empty may find no task, no charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed. There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru and freed. We don't see the issue when adding, because the mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(). I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set. 38c5d72f3ebe ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault. But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged. A risky change? just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem. And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2b9b9 ("memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary"). Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

2012-03-05memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nestingHugh Dickins
We have forgotten the rules of lock nesting: the irq-safe ones must be taken inside the non-irq-safe ones, otherwise we are open to deadlock: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock); lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock); To check a different locking issue, I happened to add a spin_lock to memcg's bit_spin_lock in lock_page_cgroup(), and lockdep very quickly complained about __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare() (on CPU1 above). So delete __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare(), passing a bool lrucare to __mem_cgroup_commit_charge() instead, taking zone->lru_lock under lock_page_cgroup() in the lrucare case. The original was using spin_lock_irqsave, but we'd be in more trouble if it were ever called at interrupt time: unconditional _irq is enough. And ClearPageLRU before del from lru, SetPageLRU before add to lru: no strong reason, but that is the ordering used consistently elsewhere.

2012-03-05flush_tlb_range() needs ->page_table_lock when ->mmap_sem is not heldAl Viro
All other callers already hold either ->mmap_sem (exclusive) or ->page_table_lock. And we need it because some page table flushing instanced do work explicitly with ge tables. See e.g. arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_hash32.c, flush_tlb_range() and flush_range() in there. The same goes for uml, with a lot more extensive playing with page tables. Almost all callers are actually fine - flush_tlb_range() may have no need to bother playing with page tables, but it can do so safely; again, this caller is the sole exception - everything else either has exclusive ->mmap_sem on the mm in question, or mm->page_table_lock is held.

2012-03-01memblock: Fix size aligning of memblock_alloc_base_nid()Tejun Heo
memblock allocator aligns @size to @align to reduce the amount of fragmentation. Commit: 7bd0b0f0da ("memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using reverse free area iterator") Broke it by incorrectly relocating @size aligning to memblock_find_in_range_node(). As the aligned size is not propagated back to memblock_alloc_base_nid(), the actually reserved size isn't aligned. While this increases memory use for memblock reserved array, this shouldn't cause any critical failure; however, it seems that the size aligning was hiding a use-beyond-allocation bug in sparc64 and losing the aligning causes boot failure. The underlying problem is currently being debugged but this is a proper fix in itself, it's already pretty late in -rc cycle for boot failures and reverting the change for debugging isn't difficult.

2012-02-24mm: memcg: Correct unregistring of events attached to the same eventfdAnton Vorontsov
There is an issue when memcg unregisters events that were attached to the same eventfd: - On the first call mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() removes all events attached to a given eventfd, and if there were no events left, thresholds->primary would become NULL; - Since there were several events registered, cgroups core will call mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() again, but now kernel will oops, as the function doesn't expect that threshold->primary may be NULL. That's a good question whether mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() should actually remove all events in one go, but nowadays it can't do any better as cftype->unregister_event callback doesn't pass any private event-associated cookie.

2012-02-08mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migrationMel Gorman
When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone. Migration avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned. Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap. When this happens, migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the following oops BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff810f795c>] free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 PGD 1dda554067 PUD 1e1cb58067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 37 Pid: 17088, comm: memcg_process_s Tainted: G X RIP: free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 Process memcg_process_s (pid: 17088, threadinfo ffff881c2926e000, task ffff881c2926c0c0) Call Trace: free_hot_cold_page+0x17e/0x1f0 __pagevec_free+0x90/0xb0 release_pages+0x22a/0x260 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xf3/0x110 putback_lru_page+0x66/0xe0 unmap_and_move+0x156/0x180 migrate_pages+0x9e/0x1b0 compact_zone+0x1f3/0x2f0 compact_zone_order+0xa2/0xe0 try_to_compact_pages+0xdf/0x110 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0xee/0x1c0 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x370/0x830 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1b1/0x1c0 alloc_pages_vma+0x9b/0x160 do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0x160/0x270 do_page_fault+0x207/0x4c0 page_fault+0x25/0x30 The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but is unrelated to the bug triggering.

2012-02-03mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block ↵Mel Gorman
during isolation for migration When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash. This was originally reported against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

2012-02-03readahead: fix pipeline break caused by block plugShaohua Li
Herbert Poetzl reported a performance regression since 2.6.39. The test is a simple dd read, but with big block size. The reason is: T1: ra (A, A+128k), (A+128k, A+256k) T2: lock_page for page A, submit the 256k T3: hit page A+128K, ra (A+256k, A+384). the range isn't submitted because of plug and there isn't any lock_page till we hit page A+256k because all pages from A to A+256k is in memory T4: hit page A+256k, ra (A+384, A+ 512). Because of plug, the range isn't submitted again. T5: lock_page A+256k, so (A+256k, A+512k) will be submitted. The task is waitting for (A+256k, A+512k) finish. There is no request to disk in T3 and T4, so readahead pipeline breaks. We really don't need block plug for generic_file_aio_read() for buffered I/O. The readahead already has plug and has fine grained control when I/O should be submitted. Deleting plug for buffered I/O fixes the regression. One side effect is plug makes the request size 256k, the size is 128k without it. This is because default ra size is 128k and not a reason we need plug here. Vivek said: : We submit some readahead IO to device request queue but because of nested : plug, queue never gets unplugged. When read logic reaches a page which is : not in page cache, it waits for page to be read from the disk : (lock_page_killable()) and that time we flush the plug list. : : So effectively read ahead logic is kind of broken in parts because of : nested plugging. Removing top level plug (generic_file_aio_read()) for : buffered reads, will allow unplugging queue earlier for readahead.

2012-02-03mm/filemap_xip.c: fix race condition in xip_file_fault()Carsten Otte
Fix a race condition that shows in conjunction with xip_file_fault() when two threads of the same user process fault on the same memory page. In this case, the race winner will install the page table entry and the unlucky loser will cause an oops: xip_file_fault calls vm_insert_pfn (via vm_insert_mixed) which drops out at this check: retval = -EBUSY; if (!pte_none(*pte)) goto out_unlock; The resulting -EBUSY return value will trigger a BUG_ON() in xip_file_fault. This fix simply considers the fault as fixed in this case, because the race winner has successfully installed the pte.

2012-01-23mm: fix rss count leakage during migrationKonstantin Khlebnikov
Memory migration fills a pte with a migration entry and it doesn't update the rss counters. Then it replaces the migration entry with the new page (or the old one if migration failed). But between these two passes this pte can be unmaped, or a task can fork a child and it will get a copy of this migration entry. Nobody accounts for this in the rss counters. This patch properly adjust rss counters for migration entries in zap_pte_range() and copy_one_pte(). Thus we avoid extra atomic operations on the migration fast-path.

2012-01-23SHM_UNLOCK: fix Unevictable pages stranded after swapHugh Dickins
Commit cc39c6a9bbde ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries. The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(), called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(). The first is already commented, and not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking. Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the swap) instead of pagevec_lookup(). But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor shmem.c with LRU locking. So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock. Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU. Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

2012-01-23SHM_UNLOCK: fix long unpreemptible sectionHugh Dickins
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked. It does this with pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here. A cond_resched() every PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good. However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks. There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it. So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling. Remove the recently added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan. Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock(). Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable. The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED. The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let inode eviction deal with them. Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used), more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.

2012-01-23mm: memcg: update the correct soft limit tree during migrationJohannes Weiner
end_migration() passes the old page instead of the new page to commit the charge. This page descriptor is not used for committing itself, though, since we also pass the (correct) page_cgroup descriptor. But it's used to find the soft limit tree through the page's zone, so the soft limit tree of the old page's zone is updated instead of that of the new page's, which might get slightly out of date until the next charge reaches the ratelimit point. This glitch has been present since 5564e88 ("memcg: condense page_cgroup-to-page lookup points"). This fixes a bug that I introduced in 2.6.38. It's benign enough (to my knowledge) that we probably don't want this for stable.

According to the boot log this page is marked reserved: e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved) and early_node_map confirms that: early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges 1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c 1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3 1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000 The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well. This also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved pages and they stay uninitialized. When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section. But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized. We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1 (rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will return 0 and there are no zones on the node. Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its boundaries and mark the section not removable. This might cause some false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for whatever other reasons.

2012-01-20kmemleak: Disable early logging when kmemleak is off by defaultCatalin Marinas
Commit b6693005 (kmemleak: When the early log buffer is exceeded, report the actual number) deferred the disabling of the early logging to kmemleak_init(). However, when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=y, the early logging was no longer disabled causing __init kmemleak functions to be called even after the kernel freed the init memory. This patch disables the early logging during kmemleak_init() if kmemleak is left disabled.

Kmemleak should only track valid scan areas with a non-zero size. Otherwise, such area may reside just at the end of an object and kmemleak would report "Adding scan area to unknown object".

2012-01-17net: move sock_update_memcg outside of CONFIG_INETGlauber Costa
Although only used currently for tcp sockets, this function is now used in common sock code (for sock_clone()) Commit 475f1b52645a29936b9df1d8fcd45f7e56bd4a9f moved the declaration of sock_update_clone() to inside sock.c, but this only fixes the problem when CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM is also not defined. This patch here is verified to fix both problems, although reverting the previous one is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> CC: David S.

2012-01-16memblock: Fix alloc failure due to dumb underflow protection in ↵Tejun Heo
memblock_find_in_range_node() 7bd0b0f0da ("memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using reverse free area iterator") implemented a simple top-down allocator using a reverse memblock iterator. To avoid underflow in the allocator loop, it simply raised the lower boundary to the requested size under the assumption that requested size would be far smaller than available memblocks. This causes early page table allocation failure under certain configurations in Xen. Fix it by checking for underflow directly instead of bumping up lower bound.

2012-01-12mm/vmalloc.c: eliminate extra loop in pcpu_get_vm_areas error pathKautuk Consul
If either of the vas or vms arrays are not properly kzalloced, then the code jumps to the err_free label. The err_free label runs a loop to check and free each of the array members of the vas and vms arrays which is not required for this situation as none of the array members have been allocated till this point. Eliminate the extra loop we have to go through by introducing a new label err_free2 and then jumping to it.

2012-01-12mm: rearrange putback_inactive_pagesHugh Dickins
There is sometimes confusion between the global putback_lru_pages() in migrate.c and the static putback_lru_pages() in vmscan.c: rename the latter putback_inactive_pages(): it helps shrink_inactive_list() rather as move_active_pages_to_lru() helps shrink_active_list(). Remove unused scan_control arg from putback_inactive_pages() and from update_isolated_counts(). Move clear_active_flags() inside update_isolated_counts(). Move NR_ISOLATED accounting up into shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer. Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and spin_unlock_irq() after return from it, so that it better matches update_isolated_counts() and move_active_pages_to_lru().
