Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path. This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to (max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and "deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in hot pages. The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty. A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are available from the same generation. The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers (N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This approach has the following advantages: 1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the eviction path. 2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first tier, since N=0.) 3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O workloads.

Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec. The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing. Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0. There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim". Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2]. To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels: one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because: 1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit. 2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit. 3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering threads. There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed [3][4]. The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e., LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy. A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, e.g., x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it as part of linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that clear the accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search space. Note that: 1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros. 2. Due to the little interest in other varieties, this capability was only tested on Intel and AMD CPUs. Thanks to the following developers for their efforts [2][3].

Patch series "Multi-Gen LRU Framework", v14. What's new ========== 1. OpenWrt, in addition to Android, Arch Linux Zen, Armbian, ChromeOS, Liquorix, post-factum and XanMod, is now shipping MGLRU on 5.15. 2. Fixed long-tailed direct reclaim latency seen on high-memory (TBs) machines. The old direct reclaim backoff, which tries to enforce a minimum fairness among all eligible memcgs, over-swapped by about (total_mem>>DEF_PRIORITY)-nr_to_reclaim. The new backoff, which pulls the plug on swapping once the target is met, trades some fairness for curtailed latency: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220918080010.2920238-10-yuzhao@google.com/ 3. Fixed minior build warnings and conflicts. More comments and nits. TLDR ==== The current page reclaim is too expensive in terms of CPU usage and it often makes poor choices about what to evict. This patchset offers an alternative solution that is performant, versatile and straightforward.

Benchmark results ================= Independent lab results ----------------------- Based on the popularity of searches [01] and the memory usage in Google's public cloud, the most popular open-source memory-hungry applications, in alphabetical order, are: Apache Cassandra Memcached Apache Hadoop MongoDB Apache Spark PostgreSQL MariaDB (MySQL) Redis An independent lab evaluated MGLRU with the most widely used benchmark suites for the above applications. They posted 960 data points along with kernel metrics and perf profiles collected over more than 500 hours of total benchmark time. Their final reports show that, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), the above applications all performed significantly better for at least part of their benchmark matrices. On 5.14: 1. Apache Spark [02] took 95% CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20, 14.93]% less wall time to sort three billion random integers, respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory. There were no statistically significant changes in wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 2. MariaDB [03] achieved 95% CIs [5.24, 10.71]% and [20.22, 25.97]% more transactions per minute (TPM), respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory.

On 5.15: 5. Apache Cassandra [06] achieved 95% CIs [1.06, 4.10]%, [1.94, 5.43]% and [4.11, 7.50]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian (distribution) access, when swap was off; 95% CIs [0.50, 2.60]%, [6.51, 8.77]% and [3.29, 6.75]% more OPS, respectively, for exponential access, random access and Zipfian access, when swap was on. 6. Apache Hadoop [07] took 95% CIs [5.31, 9.69]% and [2.02, 7.86]% less average wall time to finish twelve parallel TeraSort jobs, respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically significant changes in average wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 7. PostgreSQL [08] achieved 95% CI [1.75, 6.42]% more transactions per minute (TPM) under the high-concurrency condition, when swap was off; 95% CIs [12.82, 18.69]% and [22.70, 46.86]% more TPM, respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically significant changes in TPM for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 8. Redis [09] achieved 95% CIs [0.58, 5.94]%, [6.55, 14.58]% and [11.47, 19.36]% more total operations per second (OPS), respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian (distribution) access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [1.27, 3.54]%, [10.11, 14.81]% and [8.75, 13.64]% more total OPS, respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian access, when THP=never.

While developing, I have lots of apps opened such as multiple LSP-servers for different langs, chats, two browsers, etc... Usually, my system gets quickly to a point of SWAP-storms, where I have to kill LSP-servers, restart browsers to free memory, etc, otherwise the system lags heavily and is barely usable. 1.5 day ago I migrated from 5.11.15 kernel to 5.12 + the LRU patchset, and I started up by opening lots of apps to create memory pressure, and worked for a day like this. Till now I had not a single SWAP-storm, and mind you I got 3.4G in SWAP. I was never getting to the point of 3G in SWAP before without a single SWAP-storm. Vaibhav from IBM reported [12]: In a synthetic MongoDB Benchmark, seeing an average of ~19% throughput improvement on POWER10(Radix MMU + 64K Page Size) with MGLRU patches on top of 5.16 kernel for MongoDB + YCSB across three different request distributions, namely, Exponential, Uniform and Zipfan. Shuang from U of Rochester reported [13]: With the MGLRU, fio achieved 95% CIs [38.95, 40.26]%, [4.12, 6.64]% and [9.26, 10.36]% higher throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian (distribution) access and Gaussian (distribution) access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 1; 95% CIs [42.32, 49.15]%, [9.44, 9.89]% and [20.99, 22.86]% higher throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian access and Gaussian access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 2. Daniel from Michigan Tech reported [14]: With Memcached allocating ~100GB of byte-addressable Optante, performance improvement in terms of throughput (measured as queries per second) was about 10% for a series of workloads. Large-scale deployments ----------------------- We've rolled out MGLRU to tens of millions of ChromeOS users and about a million Android users. Google's fleetwide profiling [15] shows an overall 40% decrease in kswapd CPU usage, in addition to improvements in other UX metrics, e.g., an 85% decrease in the number of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile and an 18% decrease in app launch time at the 50th percentile. The downstream kernels that have been using MGLRU include: 1. Android [16] 2. Arch Linux Zen [17] 3. Armbian [18] 4. ChromeOS [19] 5. Liquorix [20] 6. OpenWrt [21] 7. post-factum [22] 8.

The independent lab results and the real-world applications indicate substantial improvements; there are no known regressions. 2. Thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim work out of the box; there are no equivalent solutions. 3. There is a lot of new code; no smaller changes have been demonstrated similar effects. Our options, accordingly, are: 1. Given the amount of evidence, the reported improvements will likely materialize for a wide range of workloads. 2. Gauging the interest from the past discussions, the new features will likely be put to use for both personal computers and data centers. 3. Based on Google's track record, the new code will likely be well maintained in the long term. It'd be more difficult if not impossible to achieve similar effects with other approaches. This patch (of 14): Some architectures automatically set the accessed bit in PTEs, e.g., x86 and arm64 v8.2. On architectures that do not have this capability, clearing the accessed bit in a PTE usually triggers a page fault following the TLB miss of this PTE (to emulate the accessed bit). Being aware of this capability can help make better decisions, e.g., whether to spread the work out over a period of time to reduce bursty page faults when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs. Note that theoretically this capability can be unreliable, e.g., hotplugged CPUs might be different from builtin ones. Therefore it should not be used in architecture-independent code that involves correctness, e.g., to determine whether TLB flushes are required (in combination with the accessed bit).

Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache. Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1]. Likes PSI, we count submission time as thrashing delay because when the device is congested, or the submitting cgroup IO-throttled, submission can be a significant part of overall IO time. Without this patch, swap thrashing through frontswap or some block device supporting rw_page operation isn't measured correctly.

For page cache thrashing accounting, there is no suitable place to do it in fs level likes swap_readpage(). So we have to do it in folio_wait_bit_common(). Then for anonymous pages thrashing accounting, we have to do it in both swap_readpage() and folio_wait_bit_common(). This likes PSI, so we should let thrashing accounting supports re-entrance detection. This patch is to prepare complete thrashing accounting, and is based on patch "filemap: make the accounting of thrashing more consistent".

If THP is failed to migrate due to -ENOSYS or -ENOMEM case, the THP will be split, and the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP will be tried to migrate again, so we should not account the retry counter in the second loop, since we already accounted 'nr_thp_failed' in the first loop. Moreover we also do not need retry 10 times for -EAGAIN case for the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP in the second loop, since we already regarded the THP as migration failure, and save some migration time (for the worst case, will try 512 * 10 times) according to previous discussion [1].

If THP or hugetlbfs page migration isn't supported, unmap_and_move() or unmap_and_move_huge_page() will return -ENOSYS. For THP, splitting will be tried, but if splitting doesn't succeed, the THP will be left in "from" list wrongly. If some other pages are retried, the THP migration failure will counted again. This is fixed via moving the failure THP from "from" to "ret_pages". Another issue of the original code is that the unsupported failure processing isn't consistent between THP and hugetlbfs page. Make them consistent in this patch to make the code easier to be understood too.

In unmap_and_move(), if the new THP cannot be allocated, -ENOMEM will be returned, and migrate_pages() will try to split the THP unless "reason" is MR_NUMA_MISPLACED (that is, nosplit == true). But when nosplit == true, the THP migration failure will not be counted. This is incorrect, so in this patch, the THP migration failure will be counted for -ENOMEM regardless of nosplit is true or false. The nr_failed counting isn't fixed because it's not used.

Before commit b5bade97 ("mm: migrate: fix the return value of migrate_pages()"), the tail pages of THP will be put in the "from" list directly. So one of the loop cursors (page2) needs to be reset, as is done in try_split_thp() via list_safe_reset_next(). But after the commit, the tail pages of THP will be put in a dedicated list (thp_split_pages). That is, the "from" list will not be changed during splitting. So, it's unnecessary to call list_safe_reset_next() anymore. This is a code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected.

Introduce a variable swap_migration_ad_supported to cache whether the arch supports swap migration A/D bits. Here one thing to mention is that SWP_MIG_TOTAL_BITS will internally reference the other macro MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, which is a function call on x86 (constant on all the rest of archs). It's safe to reference it in swapfile_init() because when reaching here we're already during initcalls level 4 so we must have initialized 5-level pgtable for x86_64 (right after early_identify_cpu() finishes). - start_kernel - setup_arch - early_cpu_init - get_cpu_cap --> fetch from CPUID (including X86_FEATURE_LA57) - early_identify_cpu --> clear X86_FEATURE_LA57 (if early lvl5 not enabled (USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5)) - arch_call_rest_init - rest_init - kernel_init - kernel_init_freeable - do_basic_setup - do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4) This should slightly speed up the migration swap entry handlings.

We used to have swapfile_maximum_size() fetching a maximum value of swapfile size per-arch. As the caller of max_swapfile_size() grows, this patch introduce a variable "swapfile_maximum_size" and cache the value of old max_swapfile_size(), so that we don't need to calculate the value every time. Caching the value in swapfile_init() is safe because when reaching the phase we should have initialized all the relevant information. Here the major arch to take care of is x86, which defines the max swapfile size based on L1TF mitigation. Here both X86_BUG_L1TF or l1tf_mitigation should have been setup properly when reaching swapfile_init(). As a reference, the code path looks like this for x86: - start_kernel - setup_arch - early_cpu_init - early_identify_cpu --> setup X86_BUG_L1TF - parse_early_param - l1tf_cmdline --> set l1tf_mitigation - check_bugs - l1tf_select_mitigation --> set l1tf_mitigation - arch_call_rest_init - rest_init - kernel_init - kernel_init_freeable - do_basic_setup - do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4) The swapfile size only depends on swp pte format on non-x86 archs, so caching it is safe too. Since at it, rename max_swapfile_size() to arch_max_swapfile_size() because arch can define its own function, so it's more straightforward to have "arch_" as its prefix. At the meantime, export swapfile_maximum_size to replace the old usages of max_swapfile_size().

When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table using either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean. That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure. Not to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some overhead on some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to set the bit. The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is first written after page migration happened. Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the information after the page is migrated. To achieve it, define a new set of bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old pte. Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover the A/D bits even if the page changed. One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect how many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we know the swp offset is big enough to store both the PFN value and the A/D bits. Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220811161331.37055-6-peterx@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Carry over the dirty bit from pmd to pte when a huge pmd splits. It shouldn't be a correctness issue since when pmd_dirty() we'll have the page marked dirty anyway, however having dirty bit carried over helps the next initial writes of split ptes on some archs like x86.

We've got a bunch of special swap entries that stores PFN inside the swap offset fields. To fetch the PFN, normally the user just calls swp_offset() assuming that'll be the PFN. Add a helper swp_offset_pfn() to fetch the PFN instead, fetching only the max possible length of a PFN on the host, meanwhile doing proper check with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to make sure the swap offsets can actually store the PFNs properly always using the BUILD_BUG_ON() in is_pfn_swap_entry(). One reason to do so is we never tried to sanitize whether swap offset can really fit for storing PFN. At the meantime, this patch also prepares us with the future possibility to store more information inside the swp offset field, so assuming "swp_offset(entry)" to be the PFN will not stand any more very soon. Replace many of the swp_offset() callers to use swp_offset_pfn() where proper. Note that many of the existing users are not candidates for the replacement, e.g.: (1) When the swap entry is not a pfn swap entry at all, or, (2) when we wanna keep the whole swp_offset but only change the swp type. For the latter, it can happen when fork() triggered on a write-migration swap entry pte, we may want to only change the migration type from write->read but keep the rest, so it's not "fetching PFN" but "changing swap type only". They're left aside so that when there're more information within the swp offset they'll be carried over naturally in those cases. Since at it, dropping hwpoison_entry_to_pfn() because that's exactly what the new swp_offset_pfn() is about. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220811161331.37055-4-peterx@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm: Remember a/d bits for migration entries", v4. Problem ======= When migrating a page, right now we always mark the migrated page as old & clean. However that could lead to at least two problems: (1) We lost the real hot/cold information while we could have persisted. That information shouldn't change even if the backing page is changed after the migration, (2) There can be always extra overhead on the immediate next access to any migrated page, because hardware MMU needs cycles to set the young bit again for reads, and dirty bits for write, as long as the hardware MMU supports these bits. Many of the recent upstream works showed that (2) is not something trivial and actually very measurable. In my test case, reading 1G chunk of memory - jumping in page size intervals - could take 99ms just because of the extra setting on the young bit on a generic x86_64 system, comparing to 4ms if young set. This issue is originally reported by Andrea Arcangeli. Solution ======== To solve this problem, this patchset tries to remember the young/dirty bits in the migration entries and carry them over when recovering the ptes. We have the chance to do so because in many systems the swap offset is not really fully used. Migration entries use swp offset to store PFN only, while the PFN is normally not as large as swp offset and normally smaller. It means we do have some free bits in swp offset that we can use to store things like A/D bits, and that's how this series tried to approach this problem. max_swapfile_size() is used here to detect per-arch offset length in swp entries. We'll automatically remember the A/D bits when we find that we have enough swp offset field to keep both the PFN and the extra bits. Since max_swapfile_size() can be slow, the last two patches cache the results for it and also swap_migration_ad_supported as a whole. Known Issues / TODOs ==================== We still haven't taught madvise() to recognize the new A/D bits in migration entries, namely MADV_COLD/MADV_FREE. E.g. when MADV_COLD upon a migration entry. It's not clear yet on whether we should clear the A bit, or we should just drop the entry directly. We didn't teach idle page tracking on the new migration entries, because it'll need larger rework on the tree on rmap pgtable walk. However it should make it already better because before this patchset page will be old page after migration, so the series will fix potential false negative of idle page tracking when pages were migrated before observing. The other thing is migration A/D bits will not start to working for private device swap entries. The code is there for completeness but since private device swap entries do not yet have fields to store A/D bits, even if we'll persistent A/D across present pte switching to migration entry, we'll lose it again when the migration entry converted to private device swap entry. Tests ===== After the patchset applied, the immediate read access test [1] of above 1G chunk after migration can shrink from 99ms to 4ms. The test is done by moving 1G pages from node 0->1->0 then read it in page size jumps. The test is with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz. Similar effect can also be measured when writting the memory the 1st time after migration. After applying the patchset, both initial immediate read/write after page migrated will perform similarly like before migration happened. Patch Layout ============ Patch 1-2: Cleanups from either previous versions or on swapops.h macros.

If vma->vm_mm != t->mm, there's no need to call page_mapped_in_vma() as add_to_kill() won't be called in this case. Move up the mm check to avoid possible unneeded calling to page_mapped_in_vma(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220830123604.25763-5-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

It's more recommended to use __PageMovable() to detect non-lru movable pages. We can avoid bumping page refcnt via isolate_movable_page() for the isolated lru pages. Also if pages become PageLRU just after they're checked but before trying to isolate them, isolate_lru_page() will be called to do the right work.

Patch series "A few cleanup patches for memory-failure". his series contains a few cleanup patches to use __PageMovable() to detect non-lru movable pages, use num_poisoned_pages_sub() to reduce multiple atomic ops overheads and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 6): Use ClearPageHWPoison() instead of TestClearPageHWPoison() to clear page hwpoison flags to avoid unneeded full memory barrier overhead.

Collapsed the first 2M area and dropped mmap_lock Acquire mmap_lock mmap io_uring file at 0x20563000 Release mmap_lock Reacquire mmap_lock revalidate vma pass since 0x20200000 + 0x200000 > 0x20563000 scan the next 2M (0x20200000 - 0x20400000), but due to whatever reason it didn't release mmap_lock scan the 3rd 2M area (start from 0x20400000) get into the vma created by io_uring The hend should be updated after MADV_COLLAPSE reacquire mmap_lock since the vma may be shrunk. We don't have to worry about shink from the other direction since it could be caught by hugepage_vma_revalidate(). Either no valid vma is found or the vma doesn't fit anymore.

The check_object_size() helper under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is designed to skip any checks where the length is known at compile time as a reasonable heuristic to avoid "likely known-good" cases. However, it can only do this when the copy_*_user() helpers are, themselves, inline too. Using find_vmap_area() requires taking a spinlock. The check_object_size() helper can call find_vmap_area() when the destination is in vmap memory. If show_regs() is called in interrupt context, it will attempt a call to copy_from_user_nmi(), which may call check_object_size() and then find_vmap_area(). If something in normal context happens to be in the middle of calling find_vmap_area() (with the spinlock held), the interrupt handler will hang forever. The copy_from_user_nmi() call is actually being called with a fixed-size length, so check_object_size() should never have been called in the first place. Given the narrow constraints, just replace the __copy_from_user_inatomic() call with an open-coded version that calls only into the sanitizers and not check_object_size(), followed by a call to raw_copy_from_user().

set_migratetype_isolate() does not allow isolating MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks unless it is used for CMA allocation. isolate_single_pageblock() did not have the same behavior when it is used together with set_migratetype_isolate() in start_isolate_page_range(). This allows alloc_contig_range() with migratetype other than MIGRATE_CMA, like MIGRATE_MOVABLE (used by alloc_contig_pages()), to isolate first and last pageblock but fail the rest. The failure leads to changing migratetype of the first and last pageblock to MIGRATE_MOVABLE from MIGRATE_CMA, corrupting the CMA region. This can happen during gigantic page allocations. Like Doug said here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/a3363a52-883b-dcd1-b77f-f2bb378d6f2d@gmail.com/T/#u, for gigantic page allocations, the user would notice no difference, since the allocation on CMA region will fail as well as it did before. But it might hurt the performance of device drivers that use CMA, since CMA region size decreases. Fix it by passing migratetype into isolate_single_pageblock(), so that set_migratetype_isolate() used by isolate_single_pageblock() will prevent the isolation happening.

The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to queue work into workqueue and schedule it on the current CPU. Then the work is processed in memory_failure_work_func() by kworker and calls memory_failure(). When a page is already poisoned, commit a3f5d80e ("mm,hwpoison: send SIGBUS with error virutal address") make memory_failure() call kill_accessing_process() that: - holds mmap locking of current->mm - does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address - and sends SIGBUS to the current process with error info. However, the mm of kworker is not valid, resulting in a null-pointer dereference. So check mm when killing the accessing process.

With gigantic pages it may not be true that struct page structures are contiguous across the entire gigantic page. The nth_page macro is used here in place of direct pointer arithmetic to correct for this. Mike said: : This error could cause addressing exceptions. However, this is only : possible in configurations where CONFIG_SPARSEMEM && : !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Such a configuration option is rare and : unknown to be the default anywhere.

A number of drivers call page_frag_alloc() with a fragment's size > PAGE_SIZE. In low memory conditions, __page_frag_cache_refill() may fail the order 3 cache allocation and fall back to order 0; In this case, the cache will be smaller than the fragment, causing memory corruptions. Prevent this from happening by checking if the newly allocated cache is large enough for the fragment; if not, the allocation will fail and page_frag_alloc() will return NULL.

Running this test program on ARMv4 a few times (sometimes just once) reproduces the bug. int main() { unsigned i; char paragon[SIZE]; void* ptr; memset(paragon, 0xAA, SIZE); ptr = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) return 1; printf("ptr = %p\n", ptr); for (i=0;i<10000;i++){ memset(ptr, 0xAA, SIZE); if (memcmp(ptr, paragon, SIZE)) { printf("Unexpected bytes on iteration %u!!!\n", i); break; } } munmap(ptr, SIZE); } In the "ptr" buffer there appear runs of zero bytes which are aligned by 16 and their lengths are multiple of 16. Linux v5.11 does not have the bug, "git bisect" finds the first bad commit: f9ce0be7 ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths") Before the commit update_mmu_cache() was called during a call to filemap_map_pages() as well as finish_fault(). After the commit finish_fault() lacks it. Bring back update_mmu_cache() to finish_fault() to fix the bug. Also call update_mmu_tlb() only when returning VM_FAULT_NOPAGE to more closely reproduce the code of alloc_set_pte() function that existed before the commit. On many platforms update_mmu_cache() is nop: x86, see arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable ARMv6+, see arch/arm/include/asm/tlbflush.h So, it seems, few users ran into this bug.
