2014-11-14mm: page_alloc: fix zone allocation fairness on UPJohannes Weiner1-4/+3
commit abe5f972912d086c080be4bde67750630b6fb38b upstream. The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order allocations or spills to remote nodes. On SMP that's fine, because underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0. But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long, which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible until its watermarks are hit. Commit 3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it didn't go all the way with it. Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.

commit f55fefd1a5a339b1bd08c120b93312d6eb64a9fb upstream. The WARN_ON checking whether i_mutex is held in pagecache_isize_extended() was wrong because some filesystems (e.g. XFS) use different locks for serialization of truncates / writes.

2014-11-14mm: memcontrol: do not iterate uninitialized memcgsJohannes Weiner1-4/+31
commit 2f7dd7a4100ad4affcb141605bef178ab98ccb18 upstream. The cgroup iterators yield css objects that have not yet gone through css_online(), but they are not complete memcgs at this point and so the memcg iterators should not return them. Commit d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") set out to implement exactly this, but it uses CSS_ONLINE, a cgroup-internal flag that does not meet the ordering requirements for memcg, and so the iterator may skip over initialized groups, or return partially initialized memcgs. The cgroup core can not reasonably provide a clear answer on whether the object around the css has been fully initialized, as that depends on controller-specific locking and lifetime rules. Thus, introduce a memcg-specific flag that is set after the memcg has been initialized in css_online(), and read before mem_cgroup_iter() callers access the memcg members.

2014-11-14cgroup/kmemleak: add kmemleak_free() for cgroup deallocations.Wang Nan1-0/+1
commit 401507d67d5c2854f5a88b3f93f64fc6f267bca5 upstream. Commit ff7ee93f4715 ("cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations") introduces kmemleak_alloc() for alloc_page_cgroup(), but corresponding kmemleak_free() is missing, which makes kmemleak be wrongly disabled after memory offlining. Log is pasted at the end of this commit message. This patch add kmemleak_free() into free_page_cgroup(). During page offlining, this patch removes corresponding entries in kmemleak rbtree. After that, the freed memory can be allocated again by other subsystems without killing kmemleak. bash # for x in 1 2 3 4; do echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory$x/state ; sleep 1; done ; dmesg | grep leak Offlined Pages 32768 kmemleak: Cannot insert 0xffff880016969000 into the object search tree (overlaps existing) CPU: 0 PID: 412 Comm: sleep Not tainted 3.17.0-rc5+ #86 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x46/0x58 create_object+0x266/0x2c0 kmemleak_alloc+0x26/0x50 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd3/0x160 __sigqueue_alloc+0x49/0xd0 __send_signal+0xcb/0x410 send_signal+0x45/0x90 __group_send_sig_info+0x13/0x20 do_notify_parent+0x1bb/0x260 do_exit+0x767/0xa40 do_group_exit+0x44/0xa0 SyS_exit_group+0x17/0x20 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b kmemleak: Kernel memory leak detector disabled kmemleak: Object 0xffff880016900000 (size 524288): kmemleak: comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294667296 kmemleak: min_count = 0 kmemleak: count = 0 kmemleak: flags = 0x1 kmemleak: checksum = 0 kmemleak: backtrace: log_early+0x63/0x77 kmemleak_alloc+0x4b/0x50 init_section_page_cgroup+0x7f/0xf5 page_cgroup_init+0xc5/0xd0 start_kernel+0x333/0x408 x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c x86_64_start_kernel+0xf5/0xfc Fixes: ff7ee93f4715 (cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2014-11-14mm: free compound page with correct orderYu Zhao1-2/+2
commit 5ddacbe92b806cd5b4f8f154e8e46ac267fff55c upstream. Compound page should be freed by put_page() or free_pages() with correct order. Not doing so will cause tail pages leaked. The compound order can be obtained by compound_order() or use HPAGE_PMD_ORDER in our case. Some people would argue the latter is faster but I prefer the former which is more general.

2014-11-14OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspendMichal Hocko2-0/+25
commit 5695be142e203167e3cb515ef86a88424f3524eb upstream. PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time freeze_processes finishes. Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is, however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case. Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal. Changes since v1 - push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more readable as per Rafael Fixes: f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2014-11-14vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped dataJan Kara1-0/+57
commit 90a8020278c1598fafd071736a0846b38510309c upstream. ->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than silently discarding data later when writepage is called. However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic: ftruncate(fd, 0); pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0); map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); map[0] = 'a'; ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */ mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0); map[4095] = 'a'; ----> no page_mkwrite() called At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at ->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we don't have block allocated for it. This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have ->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

2014-10-09mm: don't pointlessly use BUG_ON() for sanity checkLinus Torvalds1-3/+5
commit 50f5aa8a9b248fa4262cf379863ec9a531b49737 upstream. BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be terminated with extreme prejudice. The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal error. Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON() just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage. To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better coverage. BUG_ON() must *die*. Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it, because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you hit some "this cannot happen" situation.

2014-10-09mm: per-thread vma cachingDavidlohr Bueso4-35/+158
commit 615d6e8756c87149f2d4c1b93d471bca002bd849 upstream. This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably.

commit d26914d11751b23ca2e8747725f2cae10c2f2c1b upstream. Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative fast-paths. Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface. This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous incarnation.

2014-10-09mm/compaction: check pageblock suitability once per pageblockJoonsoo Kim1-15/+19
commit c122b2087ab94192f2b937e47b563a9c4e688ece upstream. isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to call it on every page. Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't do well when suitable. 1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was already estabilished as suitable. 2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated. This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock that was just checked. Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more simple.

2014-10-09mm/compaction: change the timing to check to drop the spinlockJoonsoo Kim1-1/+1
commit be1aa03b973c7dcdc576f3503f7a60429825c35d upstream. It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating migratepage. 1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages. 2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop the spinlock. 3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock. I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at this time, locked variable would be false.

commit 01ead5340bcf5f3a1cd2452c75516d0ef4d908d7 upstream. suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock. suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order.

commit 7d348b9ea64db0a315d777ce7d4b06697f946503 upstream. Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page. Currently, if we find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it to order-0 pages and use them as migration target. It is contrary to purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for migration target. Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify the code. There is no functional changes from this clean-up.

2014-10-09mm, compaction: avoid isolating pinned pagesDavid Rientjes1-0/+9
commit 119d6d59dcc0980dcd581fdadb6b2033b512a473 upstream. Page migration will fail for memory that is pinned in memory with, for example, get_user_pages(). In this case, it is unnecessary to take zone->lru_lock or isolating the page and passing it to page migration which will ultimately fail. This is a racy check, the page can still change from under us, but in that case we'll just fail later when attempting to move the page. This avoids very expensive memory compaction when faulting transparent hugepages after pinning a lot of memory with a Mellanox driver. On a 128GB machine and pinning ~120GB of memory, before this patch we see the enormous disparity in the number of page migration failures because of the pinning (from /proc/vmstat): compact_pages_moved 8450 compact_pagemigrate_failed 15614415 0.05% of pages isolated are successfully migrated and explicitly triggering memory compaction takes 102 seconds. After the patch: compact_pages_moved 9197 compact_pagemigrate_failed 7 99.9% of pages isolated are now successfully migrated in this configuration and memory compaction takes less than one second.

2014-10-09swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_headDan Streetman2-57/+94
commit 18ab4d4ced0817421e6db6940374cc39d28d65da upstream. Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

2014-10-09swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_headDan Streetman2-108/+76
commit adfab836f4908deb049a5128082719e689eed964 upstream. The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

2014-10-09mm: exclude memoryless nodes from zone_reclaimMichal Hocko1-2/+3
commit 70ef57e6c22c3323dce179b7d0d433c479266612 upstream. We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim should not have been set in the first place: node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 7168 MB node 2 free: 6019 MB node distances: node 0 2 0: 10 40 2: 40 10 So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling. Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and suitable reclaim_nodes.

2014-10-09mm: numa: Do not mark PTEs pte_numa when splitting huge pagesMel Gorman1-2/+5
commit abc40bd2eeb77eb7c2effcaf63154aad929a1d5f upstream. This patch reverts 1ba6e0b50b ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA. VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE |-----------------| ^ split here In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range() but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly, if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind. Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

commit f8303c2582b889351e261ff18c4d8eb197a77db2 upstream. In __split_huge_page_map(), the check for page_mapcount(page) is invariant within the for loop. Because of the fact that the macro is implemented using atomic_read(), the redundant check cannot be optimized away by the compiler leading to unnecessary read to the page structure. This patch moves the invariant bug check out of the loop so that it will be done only once. On a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, the execution time of a microbenchmark that broke up 1000 transparent huge pages using munmap() had an execution time of 38,245us and 38,548us with and without the patch respectively.

Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a few relevant places. This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this environment.

commit d3cb8bf6081b8b7a2dabb1264fe968fd870fa595 upstream. A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration completes.

2014-10-05memblock, memhotplug: fix wrong type in memblock_find_in_range_node().Tang Chen1-2/+1
commit 0cfb8f0c3e21e36d4a6e472e4c419d58ba848698 upstream. In memblock_find_in_range_node(), we defined ret as int. But it should be phys_addr_t because it is used to store the return value from __memblock_find_range_bottom_up(). The bug has not been triggered because when allocating low memory near the kernel end, the "int ret" won't turn out to be negative. When we started to allocate memory on other nodes, and the "int ret" could be minus. Then the kernel will panic. A simple way to reproduce this: comment out the following code in numa_init(), memblock_set_bottom_up(false); and the kernel won't boot.

2014-08-07mm, thp: do not allow thp faults to avoid cpuset restrictionsDavid Rientjes1-8/+8
commit b104a35d32025ca740539db2808aa3385d0f30eb upstream. The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems. Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a side-effect. This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

2014-07-31slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab namesMikulas Patocka1-1/+1
commit 694617474e33b8603fc76e090ed7d09376514b1a upstream. The patch 3e374919b314f20e2a04f641ebc1093d758f66a4 is supposed to fix the problem where kmem_cache_create incorrectly reports duplicate cache name and fails. The problem is described in the header of that patch. However, the patch doesn't really fix the problem because of these reasons: * the logic to test for debugging is reversed. It was intended to perform the check only if slub debugging is enabled (which implies that caches with the same parameters are not merged). Therefore, there should be #if !defined(CONFIG_SLUB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON) The current code has the condition reversed and performs the test if debugging is disabled. * slub debugging may be enabled or disabled based on kernel command line, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is just the default settings. Therefore the test based on definition of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is unreliable. This patch fixes the problem by removing the test "!defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)". Therefore, duplicate names are never checked if the SLUB allocator is used. Note to stable kernel maintainers: when backporint this patch, please backport also the patch 3e374919b314f20e2a04f641ebc1093d758f66a4.

2014-07-28Don't trigger congestion wait on dirty-but-not-writeout pagesLinus Torvalds1-6/+5
commit b738d764652dc5aab1c8939f637112981fce9e0e upstream. shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not under active writeback. That makes no real sense, and apparently causes major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11. The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well. Also, the logic behind delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback. We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if (a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate reclaim (b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is actually congested. This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported regression.

2014-07-28shmem: fix splicing from a hole while it's punchedHugh Dickins1-9/+15
commit b1a366500bd537b50c3aad26dc7df083ec03a448 upstream. shmem_fault() is the actual culprit in trinity's hole-punch starvation, and the most significant cause of such problems: since a page faulted is one that then appears page_mapped(), needing unmap_mapping_range() and i_mmap_mutex to be unmapped again. But it is not the only way in which a page can be brought into a hole in the radix_tree while that hole is being punched; and Vlastimil's testing implies that if enough other processors are busy filling in the hole, then shmem_undo_range() can be kept from completing indefinitely. shmem_file_splice_read() is the main other user of SGP_CACHE, which can instantiate shmem pagecache pages in the read-only case (without holding i_mutex, so perhaps concurrently with a hole-punch). Probably it's silly not to use SGP_READ already (using the ZERO_PAGE for holes): which ought to be safe, but might bring surprises - not a change to be rushed. shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() is an internal interface used by drivers/gpu/drm GEM (and next by uprobes): it should be okay. And shmem_file_read_iter() uses the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE, when called internally by the kernel (perhaps for a stacking filesystem, which might rely on holes to be reserved): it's unclear whether it could be provoked to keep hole-punch busy or not. We could apply the same umbrella as now used in shmem_fault() to shmem_file_splice_read() and the others; but it looks ugly, and use over a range raises questions - should it actually be per page? can these get starved themselves? The origin of this part of the problem is my v3.1 commit d0823576bf4b ("mm: pincer in truncate_inode_pages_range"), once it was duplicated into shmem.c. It seemed like a nice idea at the time, to ensure (barring RCU lookup fuzziness) that there's an instant when the entire hole is empty; but the indefinitely repeated scans to ensure that make it vulnerable. Revert that "enhancement" to hole-punch from shmem_undo_range(), but retain the unproblematic rescanning when it's truncating; add a couple of comments there. Remove the "indices[0] >= end" test: that is now handled satisfactorily by the inner loop, and mem_cgroup_uncharge_start()/end() are too light to be worth avoiding here. But if we do not always loop indefinitely, we do need to handle the case of swap swizzled back to page before shmem_free_swap() gets it: add a retry for that case, as suggested by Konstantin Khlebnikov; and for the case of page swizzled back to swap, as suggested by Johannes Weiner.

2014-07-28shmem: fix faulting into a hole, not taking i_mutexHugh Dickins1-26/+52
commit 8e205f779d1443a94b5ae81aa359cb535dd3021e upstream. Commit f00cdc6df7d7 ("shmem: fix faulting into a hole while it's punched") was buggy: Sasha sent a lockdep report to remind us that grabbing i_mutex in the fault path is a no-no (write syscall may already hold i_mutex while faulting user buffer). We tried a completely different approach (see following patch) but that proved inadequate: good enough for a rational workload, but not good enough against trinity - which forks off so many mappings of the object that contention on i_mmap_mutex while hole-puncher holds i_mutex builds into serious starvation when concurrent faults force the puncher to fall back to single-page unmap_mapping_range() searches of the i_mmap tree. So return to the original umbrella approach, but keep away from i_mutex this time. We really don't want to bloat every shmem inode with a new mutex or completion, just to protect this unlikely case from trinity. So extend the original with wait_queue_head on stack at the hole-punch end, and wait_queue item on the stack at the fault end. This involves further use of i_lock to guard against the races: lockdep has been happy so far, and I see fs/inode.c:unlock_new_inode() holds i_lock around wake_up_bit(), which is comparable to what we do here. i_lock is more convenient, but we could switch to shmem's info->lock. This issue has been tagged with CVE-2014-4171, which will require commit f00cdc6df7d7 and this and the following patch to be backported: we suggest to 3.1+, though in fact the trinity forkbomb effect might go back as far as 2.6.16, when madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE) came in - or might not, since much has changed, with i_mmap_mutex a spinlock before 3.0. Anyone running trinity on 3.0 and earlier? I don't think we need care.

2014-07-28shmem: fix faulting into a hole while it's punchedHugh Dickins1-4/+52
commit f00cdc6df7d7cfcabb5b740911e6788cb0802bdb upstream. Trinity finds that mmap access to a hole while it's punched from shmem can prevent the madvise(MADV_REMOVE) or fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) from completing, until the reader chooses to stop; with the puncher's hold on i_mutex locking out all other writers until it can complete. It appears that the tmpfs fault path is too light in comparison with its hole-punching path, lacking an i_data_sem to obstruct it; but we don't want to slow down the common case. Extend shmem_fallocate()'s existing range notification mechanism, so shmem_fault() can refrain from faulting pages into the hole while it's punched, waiting instead on i_mutex (when safe to sleep; or repeatedly faulting when not).

This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems rebinding on fork(): "When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes ->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the cgroup's tasklist."

2014-07-17parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack sizeHelge Deller1-0/+15
commit 042d27acb64924a0e8a43e972485913a32407beb upstream. This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards (currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable via a config option. The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used as heap then. This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.
