get_allocated_memblock_reserved_regions_info() should work if it is compiled in. Extended the ifdef around get_allocated_memblock_memory_regions_info() to include get_allocated_memblock_reserved_regions_info() as well. Similar changes in nobootmem.c/free_low_memory_core_early() where the two functions are called. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by:

If a shrinker is not NUMA-aware, shrink_slab() should call it exactly once with nid=0, but currently it is not true: if node 0 is not set in the nodemask or if it is not online, we will not call such shrinkers at all. As a result some slabs will be left untouched under some circumstances. Let us fix it. Signed-off-by:

When reclaiming kmem, we currently don't scan slabs that have less than batch_size objects (see shrink_slab_node()): while (total_scan >= batch_size) { shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = batch_size; shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl); total_scan -= batch_size; } If there are only a few shrinkers available, such a behavior won't cause any problems, because the batch_size is usually small, but if we have a lot of slab shrinkers, which is perfectly possible since FS shrinkers are now per-superblock, we can end up with hundreds of megabytes of practically unreclaimable kmem objects. For instance, mounting a thousand of ext2 FS images with a hundred of files in each and iterating over all the files using du(1) will result in about 200 Mb of FS caches that cannot be dropped even with the aid of the vm.drop_caches sysctl! This problem was initially pointed out by Glauber Costa [*]. Glauber proposed to fix it by making the shrink_slab() always take at least one pass, to put it simply, turning the scan loop above to a do{}while() loop. However, this proposal was rejected, because it could result in more aggressive and frequent slab shrinking even under low memory pressure when total_scan is naturally very small. This patch is a slightly modified version of Glauber's approach. Similarly to Glauber's patch, it makes shrink_slab() scan less than batch_size objects, but only if the total number of objects we want to scan (total_scan) is greater than the total number of objects available (max_pass). Since total_scan is biased as half max_pass if the current delta change is small: if (delta < max_pass / 4) total_scan = min(total_scan, max_pass / 2); this is only possible if we are scanning at high prio. That said, this patch shouldn't change the vmscan behaviour if the memory pressure is low, but if we are tight on memory, we will do our best by trying to reclaim all available objects, which sounds reasonable.

Commit 11c731e8 ("mm/mempolicy: fix !vma in new_vma_page()") has removed BUG_ON(!vma) from new_vma_page which is partially correct because page_address_in_vma will return EFAULT for non-linear mappings and at least shared shmem might be mapped this way. The patch also tried to prevent NULL ptr for hugetlb pages which is not correct AFAICS because hugetlb pages cannot be mapped as VM_NONLINEAR and other conditions in page_address_in_vma seem to be legit and catch real bugs. This patch restores BUG_ON for PageHuge to catch potential issues when the to-be-migrated page is not setup properly. Signed-off-by:

After thp split in hwpoison_user_mappings(), we hold page lock on the raw error page only between try_to_unmap, hence we are in danger of race condition.

This strange page fault is trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked page (which was the former head page.) To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to tail page just after thp split. SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects only error affected VMs, not a whole system.

Currently we take both the memcg_create_mutex and the set_limit_mutex when we enable kmem accounting for a memory cgroup, which makes kmem activation events serialize with both memcg creations and other memcg limit updates (memory.limit, memory.memsw.limit). However, there is no point in such strict synchronization rules there. First, the set_limit_mutex was introduced to keep the memory.limit and memory.memsw.limit values in sync. Since memory.kmem.limit can be set independently of them, it is better to introduce a separate mutex to synchronize against concurrent kmem limit updates. Second, we take the memcg_create_mutex in order to make sure all children of this memcg will be kmem-active as well. For achieving that, it is enough to hold this mutex only while checking if memcg_has_children() though. This guarantees that if a child is added after we checked that the memcg has no children, the newly added cgroup will see its parent kmem-active (of course if the latter succeeded), and call kmem activation for itself. This patch simplifies the locking rules of memcg_update_kmem_limit() according to these considerations. [vdavydov@parallels.com: fix unintialized var warning] Signed-off-by:

Currently we have two state bits in mem_cgroup::kmem_account_flags regarding kmem accounting activation, ACTIVATED and ACTIVE. We start kmem accounting only if both flags are set (memcg_can_account_kmem()), plus throughout the code there are several places where we check only the ACTIVE flag, but we never check the ACTIVATED flag alone. These flags are both set from memcg_update_kmem_limit() under the set_limit_mutex, the ACTIVE flag always being set after ACTIVATED, and they never get cleared. That said checking if both flags are set is equivalent to checking only for the ACTIVE flag, and since there is no ACTIVATED flag checks, we can safely remove the ACTIVATED flag, and nothing will change. Let's try to understand what was the reason for introducing these flags. The purpose of the ACTIVE flag is clear - it states that kmem should be accounting to the cgroup. The only requirement for it is that it should be set after we have fully initialized kmem accounting bits for the cgroup and patched all static branches relating to kmem accounting. Since we always check if static branch is enabled before actually considering if we should account (otherwise we wouldn't benefit from static branching), this guarantees us that we won't skip a commit or uncharge after a charge due to an unpatched static branch. Now let's move on to the ACTIVATED bit. As I proved in the beginning of this message, it is absolutely useless, and removing it will change nothing. So what was the reason introducing it? The ACTIVATED flag was introduced by commit a8964b9b ("memcg: use static branches when code not in use") in order to guarantee that static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key) would be called only once for each memory cgroup when its kmem accounting was activated. The point was that at that time the memcg_update_kmem_limit() function's work-flow looked like this: bool must_inc_static_branch = false; cgroup_lock(); mutex_lock(&set_limit_mutex); if (!memcg->kmem_account_flags && val != RESOURCE_MAX) { /* The kmem limit is set for the first time */ ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val); memcg_kmem_set_activated(memcg); must_inc_static_branch = true; } else ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val); mutex_unlock(&set_limit_mutex); cgroup_unlock(); if (must_inc_static_branch) { /* We can't do this under cgroup_lock */ static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key); memcg_kmem_set_active(memcg); } So that without the ACTIVATED flag we could race with other threads trying to set the limit and increment the static branching ref-counter more than once. Today we call the whole memcg_update_kmem_limit() function under the set_limit_mutex and this race is impossible. As now we understand why the ACTIVATED bit was introduced and why we don't need it now, and know that removing it will change nothing anyway, let's get rid of it. Signed-off-by:

We relocate root cache's memcg_params whenever we need to grow the memcg_caches array to accommodate all kmem-active memory cgroups. Currently on relocation we free the old version immediately, which can lead to use-after-free, because the memcg_caches array is accessed lock-free (see cache_from_memcg_idx()). This patch fixes this by making memcg_params RCU-protected for root caches. Signed-off-by:

There is no point in flooding logs with warnings or especially crashing the system if we fail to create a cache for a memcg. In this case we will be accounting the memcg allocation to the root cgroup until we succeed to create its own cache, but it isn't that critical. Signed-off-by:

We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array. If we find no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The cache creation proceeds asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed. However, due to a race in the code, it is not always true. The point is that the memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()). If memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache. Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache. One of them successfully creates it. Another one should fail then, but if memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as follows, it won't: memcg_create_kmem_cache() memcg_update_cache_size() (called w/o mutexes held) (called with slab_mutex, set_limit_mutex held) ------------------------- ------------------------- mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex) s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...) new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx) // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i] =cur_params->memcg_caches[i] // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex // so we will hang around until // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in // memcg_register_cache! new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...) mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex) Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it return NULL if so. A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see kmem_cache_destroy()). Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer. Therefore memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the slab_mutex. Signed-off-by: -

All caches of the same memory cgroup are linked in the memcg_slab_caches list via kmem_cache::memcg_params::list. This list is traversed, for example, when we read memory.kmem.slabinfo. Since the list actually consists of memcg_cache_params objects, we have to convert an element of the list to a kmem_cache object using memcg_params_to_cache(), which obtains the pointer to the cache from the memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the corresponding root cache. That said the pointer to a kmem_cache in its parent's memcg_params must be initialized before adding the cache to the list, and cleared only after it has been unlinked. Currently it is vice-versa, which can result in a NULL ptr dereference while traversing the memcg_slab_caches list. This patch restores the correct order. Signed-off-by:

Each root kmem_cache has pointers to per-memcg caches stored in its memcg_params::memcg_caches array. Whenever we want to allocate a slab for a memcg, we access this array to get per-memcg cache to allocate from (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The access must be lock-free for performance reasons, so we should use barriers to assert the kmem_cache is up-to-date. First, we should place a write barrier immediately before setting the pointer to it in the memcg_caches array in order to make sure nobody will see a partially initialized object. Second, we should issue a read barrier before dereferencing the pointer to conform to the write barrier. However, currently the barrier usage looks rather strange. We have a write barrier *after* setting the pointer and a read barrier *before* reading the pointer, which is incorrect. This patch fixes this. Signed-off-by:

Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg kmem cache initialization/destruction. Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a kmem cache and then "registers" the new cache in the memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the parent cache. During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following memcg-related functions: - memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly created cache; - memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches list. On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches, removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees memcg_params. Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit. This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and destruction paths look symmetrical.

Currently kmem_cache_create_memcg() backoffs on failure inside conditionals, without using gotos. This results in the rollback code duplication, which makes the function look cumbersome even though on error we should only free the allocated cache. Since in the next patch I am going to add yet another rollback function call on error path there, let's employ labels instead of conditionals for undoing any changes on failure to keep things clean.

stable_page_flags() checks !PageHuge && PageTransCompound && PageLRU to know that a specified page is thp or not. But sometimes it's not enough and we fail to detect thp when the thp is on pagevec. This happens only for a few seconds after LRU list operations, but it makes it difficult to control our applications depending on this flag. So this patch adds another check PageAnon to detect thps on pagevec. It might not give the future extensibility for thp pagecache, but it's OK at least for now. Signed-off-by:

The vmalloc was introduced by 33327948 ("memcgroup: use vmalloc for mem_cgroup allocation"), because at that time MAX_NUMNODES was used for defining the per-node array in the mem_cgroup structure so that the structure could be huge even if the system had the only NUMA node. The situation was significantly improved by commit 45cf7ebd ("memcg: reduce the size of struct memcg 244-fold"), which made the size of the mem_cgroup structure calculated dynamically depending on the real number of NUMA nodes installed on the system (nr_node_ids), so now there is no point in using vmalloc here: the structure is allocated rarely and on most systems its size is about 1K.

Since commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. There is some attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a non-fatal, yet wrong outcome. First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked from the head page to the tail pages. Clearing PageMlocked by munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag. As the head page still appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed, munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da6, those pages would be cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK would still become undercounted (related the next point). Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount() - undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before ff6a6da6) - overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from additional tail pages This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because: - __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation - munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new __munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page. But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad, or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL. This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.

Documentation/vm/locking is a blast from the past. In the entire git history, it has had precisely Three modifications. Two of those look to be pure renames, and the third was from 2005. The doc contains such gems as: > The page_table_lock is grabbed while holding the > kernel_lock spinning monitor. > Page stealers hold kernel_lock to protect against a bunch of > races. Or this which talks about mmap_sem: > 4. The exception to this rule is expand_stack, which just > takes the read lock and the page_table_lock, this is ok > because it doesn't really modify fields anybody relies on. expand_stack() doesn't take any locks any more directly, and the mmap_sem acquisition was long ago moved up in to the page fault code itself. It could be argued that we need to rewrite this, but it is dangerous to leave it as-is. It will confuse more people than it helps. Signed-off-by:

Sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Microblaze is the same case as AARCH64 that's why EM_MICROBLAZE conditional check was added to allow cross-compilation on machines which are not running the latest libc-dev. Inspired by AARCH64 commit adace895 ("arm64: extable: sort the exception table at build time"). Signed-off-by:

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, a couple of sysfs entries were introduced to tune the f2fs at runtime. In addition, f2fs starts to support inline_data and improves the read/write performance in some workloads by refactoring bio-related flows. This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches. - support inline_data - refactor bio operations such as merge operations and rw type assignment - enhance the direct IO path - enhance bio operations - truncate a node page when it becomes obsolete - add sysfs entries: small_discards, max_victim_search, and in-place-update - add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search The other bug fixes are as follows. - fix a bug in truncate_partial_nodes - avoid warnings during sparse and build process - fix error handling flows - fix potential bit overflows And, there are a bunch of cleanups" * tag 'for-f2fs-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (95 commits) f2fs: drop obsolete node page when it is truncated f2fs: introduce NODE_MAPPING for code consistency f2fs: remove the orphan block page array f2fs: add help function META_MAPPING f2fs: move a branch for code redability f2fs: call mark_inode_dirty to flush dirty pages f2fs: clean checkpatch warnings f2fs: missing REQ_META and REQ_PRIO when sync_meta_pages(META_FLUSH) f2fs: avoid f2fs_balance_fs call during pageout f2fs: add delimiter to seperate name and value in debug phrase f2fs: use spinlock rather than mutex for better speed f2fs: move alloc new orphan node out of lock protection region f2fs: move grabing orphan pages out of protection region f2fs: remove the needless parameter of f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback f2fs: update documents and a MAINTAINERS entry f2fs: add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls f2fs: avoid to read inline data except first page f2fs: avoid to left uninitialized data in page when read inline data f2fs: fix truncate_partial_nodes bug ... -

Pull xfs update from Ben Myers: "This is primarily bug fixes, many of which you already have. New stuff includes a series to decouple the in-memory and on-disk log format, helpers in the area of inode clusters, and i_version handling. We decided to try to use more topic branches this release, so there are some merge commits in there on account of that. I'm afraid I didn't do a good job of putting meaningful comments in the first couple of merges. Sorry about that. I think I have the hang of it now. For 3.14-rc1 there are fixes in the areas of remote attributes, discard, growfs, memory leaks in recovery, directory v2, quotas, the MAINTAINERS file, allocation alignment, extent list locking, and in xfs_bmapi_allocate. There are cleanups in xfs_setsize_buftarg, removing unused macros, quotas, setattr, and freeing of inode clusters. The in-memory and on-disk log format have been decoupled, a common helper to calculate the number of blocks in an inode cluster has been added, and handling of i_version has been pulled into the filesystems that use it. - cleanup in xfs_setsize_buftarg - removal of remaining unused flags for vop toss/flush/flushinval - fix for memory corruption in xfs_attrlist_by_handle - fix for out-of-date comment in xfs_trans_dqlockedjoin - fix for discard if range length is less than one block - fix for overrun of agfl buffer using growfs on v4 superblock filesystems - pull i_version handling out into the filesystems that use it - don't leak recovery items on error - fix for memory leak in xfs_dir2_node_removename - several cleanups for quotas - fix bad assertion in xfs_qm_vop_create_dqattach - cleanup for xfs_setattr_mode, and add xfs_setattr_time - fix quota assert in xfs_setattr_nonsize - fix an infinite loop when turning off group/project quota before user quota - fix for temporary buffer allocation failure in xfs_dir2_block_to_sf with large directory block sizes - fix Dave's email address in MAINTAINERS - cleanup calculation of freed inode cluster blocks - fix alignment of initial file allocations to match filesystem geometry - decouple in-memory and on-disk log format - introduce a common helper to calculate the number of filesystem blocks in an inode cluster - fixes for extent list locking - fix for off-by-one in xfs_attr3_rmt_verify - fix for missing destroy_work_on_stack in xfs_bmapi_allocate" * tag 'xfs-for-linus-v3.14-rc1' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs: (51 commits) xfs: Calling destroy_work_on_stack() to pair with INIT_WORK_ONSTACK() xfs: fix off-by-one error in xfs_attr3_rmt_verify xfs: assert that we hold the ilock for extent map access xfs: use xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared in xfs_attr_list_int xfs: use xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared in xfs_attr_get xfs: use xfs_ilock_data_map_shared in xfs_qm_dqiterate xfs: use xfs_ilock_data_map_shared in xfs_qm_dqtobp xfs: take the ilock around xfs_bmapi_read in xfs_zero_remaining_bytes xfs: reinstate the ilock in xfs_readdir xfs: add xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared xfs: rename xfs_ilock_map_shared xfs: remove xfs_iunlock_map_shared xfs: no need to lock the inode in xfs_find_handle xfs: use xfs_icluster_size_fsb in xfs_imap xfs: use xfs_icluster_size_fsb in xfs_ifree_cluster xfs: use xfs_icluster_size_fsb in xfs_ialloc_inode_init xfs: use xfs_icluster_size_fsb in xfs_bulkstat xfs: introduce a common helper xfs_icluster_size_fsb xfs: get rid of XFS_IALLOC_BLOCKS macros xfs: get rid of XFS_INODE_CLUSTER_SIZE macros ... -
