As shown by pcpu_build_alloc_info(), the number of units within a percpu group is deduced by rounding up the number of CPUs within the group to @upa boundary/ Therefore, the number of CPUs isn't equal to the units's if it isn't aligned to @upa normally. However, pcpu_page_first_chunk() uses BUG_ON() to assert that one number is equal to the other roughly, so a panic is maybe triggered by the BUG_ON() incorrectly. In order to fix this issue, the number of CPUs is rounded up then compared with units's and the BUG_ON() is replaced with a warning and return of an error code as well, to keep system alive as much as possible.

In the upcoming gcc7 release, the -fsanitize=kernel-address option at first implied new -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope option. This would cause link errors on older kernels because they don't have two new functions required for use-after-scope support. Therefore, gcc7 changed default to -fno-sanitize-address-use-after-scope. Now the kernel has everything required for that feature since commit 828347f8 ("kasan: support use-after-scope detection"). So, to make it work, we just have to enable use-after-scope in CFLAGS.

Currently we dedicate 1/32 of RAM for quarantine and then reduce it by 1/4 of total quarantine size. This can be a significant amount of memory. For example, with 4GB of RAM total quarantine size is 128MB and it is reduced by 32MB at a time. With 128GB of RAM total quarantine size is 4GB and it is reduced by 1GB. This leads to several problems: - freeing 1GB can take tens of seconds, causes rcu stall warnings and just introduces unexpected long delays at random places - if kmalloc() is called under a mutex, other threads stall on that mutex while a thread reduces quarantine - threads wait on quarantine_lock while one thread grabs a large batch of objects to evict - we walk the uncached list of object to free twice which makes all of the above worse - when a thread frees objects, they are already not accounted against global_quarantine.bytes; as the result we can have quarantine_size bytes in quarantine + unbounded amount of memory in large batches in threads that are in process of freeing Reduce size of quarantine in smaller batches to reduce the delays. The only reason to reduce it in batches is amortization of overheads, the new batch size of 1MB should be well enough to amortize spinlock lock/unlock and few function calls. Plus organize quarantine as a FIFO array of batches. This allows to not walk the list in quarantine_reduce() under quarantine_lock, which in turn reduces contention and is just faster. This improves performance of heavy load (syzkaller fuzzing) by ~20% with 4 CPUs and 32GB of RAM. Also this eliminates frequent (every 5 sec) drops of CPU consumption from ~400% to ~100% (one thread reduces quarantine while others are waiting on a mutex). Some reference numbers: 1. Machine with 4 CPUs and 4GB of memory. Quarantine size 128MB. Currently we free 32MB at at time. With new code we free 1MB at a time (1024 batches, ~128 are used). 2. Machine with 32 CPUs and 128GB of memory. Quarantine size 4GB. Currently we free 1GB at at time. With new code we free 8MB at a time (1024 batches, ~512 are used). 3. Machine with 4096 CPUs and 1TB of memory. Quarantine size 32GB. Currently we free 8GB at at time. With new code we free 4MB at a time (16K batches, ~8K are used).

If user sets panic_on_warn, he wants kernel to panic if there is anything barely wrong with the kernel. KASAN-detected errors are definitely not less benign than an arbitrary kernel WARNING. Panic after KASAN errors if panic_on_warn is set. We use this for continuous fuzzing where we want kernel to stop and reboot on any error.

Test programs want to know the size of a transparent hugepage. While it is commonly the same as the size of a hugetlbfs page (shown as Hugepagesize in /proc/meminfo), that is not always so: powerpc implements transparent hugepages in a different way from hugetlbfs pages, so it's coincidence when their sizes are the same; and x86 and others can support more than one hugetlbfs page size. Add /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to show the THP size in bytes - it's the same for Anonymous and Shmem hugepages. Call it hpage_pmd_size (after HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) rather than hpage_size, in case some transparent support for pud and pgd pages is added later.

Add a cond_resched() in the unuse_pmd_range() loop (so as to call it even when pmd none or trans_huge, like zap_pmd_range() does); and in the unuse_mm() loop (since that might skip over many vmas). shmem_unuse() and radix_tree_locate_item() look good enough already. Those were the obvious places, but in fact the stalls came from find_next_to_unuse(), which sometimes scans through many unused entries. Apply scan_swap_map()'s LATENCY_LIMIT of 256 there too; and only go off to test frontswap_map when a used entry is found.

Vlastimil Babka pointed out that commit 479f854a ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") will allow the per-cpu list counter to be out of sync with the per-cpu list contents if a struct page is corrupted. The consequence is an infinite loop if the per-cpu lists get fully drained by free_pcppages_bulk because all the lists are empty but the count is positive. The infinite loop occurs here do { batch_free++; if (++migratetype == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES) migratetype = 0; list = &pcp->lists[migratetype]; } while (list_empty(list)); What the user sees is a bad page warning followed by a soft lockup with interrupts disabled in free_pcppages_bulk(). This patch keeps the accounting in sync.

anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it inline and avoid a call for the common case. Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size costs: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 475/-373 (102) function old new delta __anon_vma_prepare - 359 +359 handle_mm_fault 2744 2796 +52 hugetlb_cow 1146 1170 +24 hugetlb_fault 2123 2145 +22 wp_page_copy 1469 1487 +18 anon_vma_prepare 373 - -373 Checking the asm however confirms that the hot paths now avoid a call, which is moved away.

__dump_page() is used when a page metadata inconsistency is detected, either by standard runtime checks, or extra checks in CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It prints some of the relevant metadata, but not the whole struct page, which is based on unions and interpretation is dependent on the context. This means that sometimes e.g. a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() checks certain field, which is however not printed by __dump_page() and the resulting bug report may then lack clues that could help in determining the root cause. This patch solves the problem by simply printing the whole struct page word by word, so no part is missing, but the interpretation of the data is left to developers. This is similar to e.g. x86_64 raw stack dumps. Example output: page:ffffea00000475c0 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x100000000000400(reserved) raw: 0100000000000400 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000001ffffffff raw: ffffea00000475e0 ffffea00000475e0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(1) [aryabinin@virtuozzo.com: suggested print_hex_dump()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2ff83214-70fe-741e-bf05-fe4a4073ec3e@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Independent of whether the vma is for anonymous memory, some arches like ppc64 would like to override pmd_move_must_withdraw(). One option is to encapsulate the vma_is_anonymous() check for general architectures inside pmd_move_must_withdraw() so that is always called and architectures that need unconditional overriding can override this function. ppc64 needs to override the function when the MMU is configured to use hash PTE's.

Since commit 59dc76b0 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list") the size of the active file list is no longer limited to half of memory. Increase the shadow node limit accordingly to avoid throwing out shadow entries that might still result in eligible refaults. The exact size of the active list now depends on the overall size of the page cache, but converges toward taking up most of the space: In mm/vmscan.c::inactive_list_is_low(), * total target max * memory ratio inactive * ------------------------------------- * 10MB 1 5MB * 100MB 1 50MB * 1GB 3 250MB * 10GB 10 0.9GB * 100GB 31 3GB * 1TB 101 10GB * 10TB 320 32GB It would be possible to apply the same precise ratios when determining the limit for radix tree nodes containing shadow entries, but since it is merely an approximation of the oldest refault distances in the wild and the code also makes assumptions about the node population density, keep it simple and always target the full cache size. While at it, clarify the comment and the formula for memory footprint. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161117214701.29000-1-hannes@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Shadow entries in the page cache used to be accounted behind the radix tree implementation's back in the upper bits of node->count, and the radix tree code extending a single-entry tree with a shadow entry in root->rnode would corrupt that counter. As a result, we could not put shadow entries at index 0 if the tree didn't have any other entries, and that means no refault detection for any single-page file. Now that the shadow entries are tracked natively in the radix tree's exceptional counter, this is no longer necessary. Extending and shrinking the tree from and to single entries in root->rnode now does the right thing when the entry is exceptional, remove that limitation.

Currently, we track the shadow entries in the page cache in the upper bits of the radix_tree_node->count, behind the back of the radix tree implementation. Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them, we rely on random subtleties throughout the implementation (such as the node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to exclude multi-entry nodes but also happens to skip nodes with only one shadow entry, as that's accounted in the upper bits). This is error prone and has, in fact, caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8 ("mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node"). To remove these subtleties, this patch moves shadow entry tracking from the upper bits of node->count to the existing counter for exceptional entries. node->count goes back to being a simple counter of valid entries in the tree node and can be shrunk to a single byte. This vastly simplifies the page cache code. All accounting happens natively inside the radix tree implementation, and maintaining the LRU linkage of shadow nodes is consolidated into a single function in the workingset code that is called for leaf nodes affected by a change in the page cache tree. This also removes the last user of the __radix_delete_node() return value. Eliminate it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161117193211.GE23430@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

The bug in khugepaged fixed earlier in this series shows that radix tree slot replacement is fragile; and it will become more so when not only NULL<->!NULL transitions need to be caught but transitions from and to exceptional entries as well. We need checks. Re-implement radix_tree_replace_slot() on top of the sanity-checked __radix_tree_replace(). This requires existing callers to also pass the radix tree root, but it'll warn us when somebody replaces slots with contents that need proper accounting (transitions between NULL entries, real entries, exceptional entries) and where a replacement through the slot pointer would corrupt the radix tree node counts.

The way the page cache is sneaking shadow entries of evicted pages into the radix tree past the node entry accounting and tracking them manually in the upper bits of node->count is fraught with problems. These shadow entries are marked in the tree as exceptional entries, which are a native concept to the radix tree. Maintain an explicit counter of exceptional entries in the radix tree node. Subsequent patches will switch shadow entry tracking over to that counter. DAX and shmem are the other users of exceptional entries. Since slot replacements that change the entry type from regular to exceptional must now be accounted, introduce a __radix_tree_replace() function that does replacement and accounting, and switch DAX and shmem over. The increase in radix tree node size is temporary. A followup patch switches the shadow tracking to this new scheme and we'll no longer need the upper bits in node->count and shrink that back to one byte.

Patch series "mm: workingset: radix tree subtleties & single-page file refaults", v3. This is another revision of the radix tree / workingset patches based on feedback from Jan and Kirill. This is a follow-up to d3798ae8 ("mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node"). That patch fixed an issue that was caused mainly by the page cache sneaking special shadow page entries into the radix tree and relying on subtleties in the radix tree code to make that work. The fix also had to stop tracking refaults for single-page files because shadow pages stored as direct pointers in radix_tree_root->rnode weren't properly handled during tree extension. These patches make the radix tree code explicitely support and track such special entries, to eliminate the subtleties and to restore the thrash detection for single-page files. This patch (of 9): When a radix tree iteration drops the tree lock, another thread might swoop in and free the node holding the current slot. The iteration needs to do another tree lookup from the current index to continue.

We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

Compiling shmem.c with SHMEM and TRANSAPRENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE enabled raises warnings on two unused functions when CONFIG_TMPFS and CONFIG_SYSFS are both disabled: mm/shmem.c:390:20: warning: `shmem_format_huge' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static const char *shmem_format_huge(int huge) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mm/shmem.c:373:12: warning: `shmem_parse_huge' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static int shmem_parse_huge(const char *str) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A conditional compilation on tmpfs or sysfs removes the warnings.

The header uses types and definitions from the linux/init.h as well as linux/types.h headers without explicitly including them. This causes a failure to compile if they are not implicitly pulled in by includers. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161115133235.13387-1-thierry.reding@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Mark dax vmas as not migratable to exclude them from task_numa_work(). This is especially relevant for device-dax which wants to ensure predictable access latency and not incur periodic faults.
