In the booting phase if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set, we have following callchain: start_kernel ... mm_init mem_init memblock_free_all reset_all_zones_managed_pages free_low_memory_core_early ... buffer_init nr_free_buffer_pages zone->managed_pages ... rest_init kernel_init kernel_init_freeable page_alloc_init_late kthread_run(deferred_init_memmap, NODE_DATA(nid), "pgdatinit%d", nid); wait_for_completion(&pgdat_init_all_done_comp); ... files_maxfiles_init It's clear that buffer_init depends on zone->managed_pages, but it's reset in reset_all_zones_managed_pages after that pages are readded into zone->managed_pages, but when buffer_init runs this process is half done and most of them will finally be added till deferred_init_memmap done. In large memory couting of nr_free_buffer_pages drifts too much, also drifting from kernels to kernels on same hardware. Fix is simple, it delays buffer_init run till deferred_init_memmap all done. But as corrected by this patch, max_buffer_heads becomes very large, the value is roughly as many as 4 times of totalram_pages, formula: max_buffer_heads = nrpages * (10%) * (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct buffer_head)); Say in a 64GB memory box we have 16777216 pages, then max_buffer_heads turns out to be roughly 67,108,864. In common cases, should a buffer_head be mapped to one page/block(4KB)? So max_buffer_heads never exceeds totalram_pages. IMO it's likely to make buffer_heads_over_limit bool value alwasy false, then make codes 'if (buffer_heads_over_limit)' test in vmscan unnecessary. So this patch will change the original behavior related to buffer_heads_over_limit in vmscan since we used a half done value of zone->managed_pages before, or should we use a smaller factor(<10%) in previous formula. akpm: I think this is OK - the max_buffer_heads code is only needed on highmem machines, to prevent ZONE_NORMAL from being consumed by large amounts of buffer_heads attached to highmem pagecache. This problem will not occur on 64-bit machines, so this feature's non-functionality on such machines is a feature, not a bug.

commit 6471384a ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation. However, the same logic is currently not applied to alloc_contig_pages(): allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared with init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=0. Let's also properly clear pages on that allocation path. To achieve that, let's move clearing into post_alloc_hook(). This will not only affect alloc_contig_pages() allocations but also any pages used as migration target in compaction code via compaction_alloc(). While this sounds sub-optimal, it's the very same handling as when allocating migration targets via alloc_migration_target() - pages will get properly cleared with init_on_free=1. In case we ever want to optimize migration in that regard, we should tackle all such migration users - if we believe migration code can be fully trusted. With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some cases. One example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or allocated dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right thing to do (and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as discussed in: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1 - All CMA allocations will be cleared - Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared - virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well. - Pages isolated for compaction will be cleared Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201120180452.19071-1-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 96831826 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

Currently, pcplists are drained during set_migratetype_isolate() which means once per pageblock processed start_isolate_page_range(). This is somewhat wasteful. Moreover, the callers might need different guarantees, and the draining is currently prone to races and does not guarantee that no page from isolated pageblock will end up on the pcplist after the drain. Better guarantees are added by later patches and require explicit actions by page isolation users that need them. Thus it makes sense to move the current imperfect draining to the callers also as a preparation step. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201111092812.11329-7-vbabka@suse.czSuggested-by:

All per-cpu pagesets for a zone use the same high and batch values, that are duplicated there just for performance (locality) reasons. This patch adds the same variables also to struct zone as a shared copy. This will be useful later for making possible to disable pcplists temporarily by setting high value to 0, while remembering the values for restoring them later. But we can also immediately benefit from not updating pagesets of all possible cpus in case the newly recalculated values (after sysctl change or memory online/offline) are actually unchanged from the previous ones.

pageset_update() attempts to update pcplist's high and batch values in a way that readers don't observe batch > high. It uses smp_wmb() to order the updates in a way to achieve this. However, without proper pairing read barriers in readers this guarantee doesn't hold, and there are no such barriers in e.g. free_unref_page_commit(). Commit 88e8ac11 ("mm, page_alloc: fix core hung in free_pcppages_bulk()") already showed this is problematic, and solved this by ultimately only trusing pcp->count of the current cpu with interrupts disabled. The update dance with unpaired write barriers thus makes no sense. Replace them with plain WRITE_ONCE to prevent store tearing, and document that the values can change asynchronously and should not be trusted for correctness. All current readers appear to be OK after 88e8ac11. Convert them to READ_ONCE to prevent unnecessary read tearing, but mainly to alert anybody making future changes to the code that special care is needed.

Instead call the function just once per zone, and make it apply the calculated values to all per-cpu pagesets of the zone.

Patch series "disable pcplists during memory offline", v3. As per the discussions [1] [2] this is an attempt to implement David's suggestion that page isolation should disable pcplists to avoid races with page freeing in progress. This is done without extra checks in fast paths, as explained in Patch 9. The repeated draining done by [2] is then no longer needed. Previous version (RFC) is at [3]. The RFC tried to hide pcplists disabling/enabling into page isolation, but it wasn't completely possible, as memory offline does not unisolation. Michal suggested an explicit API in [4] so that's the current implementation and it seems indeed nicer. Once we accept that page isolation users need to do explicit actions around it depending on the needed guarantees, we can also IMHO accept that the current pcplist draining can be also done by the callers, which is more effective. After all, there are only two users of page isolation. So patch 6 does effectively the same thing as Pavel proposed in [5], and patch 7 implement stronger guarantees only for memory offline. If CMA decides to opt-in to the stronger guarantee, it can be added later. Patches 1-5 are preparatory cleanups for pcplist disabling. Patchset was briefly tested in QEMU so that memory online/offline works, but I haven't done a stress test that would prove the race fixed by [2] is eliminated. Note that patch 7 could be avoided if we instead adjusted page freeing in shown in [6], but I believe the current implementation of disabling pcplists is not too much complex, so I would prefer this instead of adding new checks and longer irq-disabled section into page freeing hotpaths.

Consolidate everything to pageset_set_high_and_batch() and remove pageset_set_batch() and pageset_set_high() wrappers. The only special case using one of the removed wrappers was: build_all_zonelists_init() setup_pageset() pageset_set_batch() which was hardcoding batch as 0, so we can just open-code a call to pageset_update() with constant parameters instead.

The design of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC presumes that __kernel_map_pages() must never fail. With this assumption is wouldn't be safe to allow general usage of this function. Moreover, some architectures that implement __kernel_map_pages() have this function guarded by #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and some refuse to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is disabled at runtime. As all the users of __kernel_map_pages() were converted to use debug_pagealloc_map_pages() it is safe to make it available only when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set.

When DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is enabled a page may be not present in the direct map and has to be explicitly mapped before it could be copied. Introduce hibernate_map_page() and hibernation_unmap_page() that will explicitly use set_direct_map_{default,invalid}_noflush() for ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP case and debug_pagealloc_{map,unmap}_pages() for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC case. The remapping of the pages in safe_copy_page() presumes that it only changes protection bits in an existing PTE and so it is safe to ignore return value of set_direct_map_{default,invalid}_noflush(). Still, add a pr_warn() so that future changes in set_memory APIs will not silently break hibernation. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201109192128.960-3-rppt@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:Rafael J.

Patch series "arch, mm: improve robustness of direct map manipulation", v7. During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a concern about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC scope [1]. Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail, but since this function is void, the failure will go unnoticed. Moreover, there's lack of consistency of __kernel_map_pages() semantics across architectures as some guard this function with #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, some refuse to update the direct map if page allocation debugging is disabled at run time and some allow modifying the direct map regardless of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settings. This set straightens this out by restoring dependency of __kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and updating the call sites accordingly. Since currently the only user of __kernel_map_pages() outside DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is hibernation, it is updated to make direct map accesses there more explicit. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2759b4bf-e1e3-d006-7d86-78a40348269d@redhat.com This patch (of 4): When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, it unmaps pages from the kernel direct mapping after free_pages(). The pages than need to be mapped back before they could be used. Theese mapping operations use __kernel_map_pages() guarded with with debug_pagealloc_enabled(). The only place that calls __kernel_map_pages() without checking whether DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled is the hibernation code that presumes availability of this function when ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is set. Still, on arm64, __kernel_map_pages() will bail out when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not enabled but set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() may render some pages not present in the direct map and hibernation code won't be able to save such pages. To make page allocation debugging and hibernation interaction more robust, the dependency on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP has to be made more explicit. Start with combining the guard condition and the call to __kernel_map_pages() into debug_pagealloc_map_pages() and debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() functions to emphasize that __kernel_map_pages() should not be called without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and use these new functions to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is enabled.

DISCONTIGMEM was intended to provide more efficient support for systems with holes in their physical address space that FLATMEM did. Yet, it's overhead in terms of the memory consumption seems to overweight the savings on the unused memory map. For a ARAnyM system with 16 MBytes of FastRAM configured, the memory usage reported after page allocator initialization is Memory: 23828K/30720K available (3206K kernel code, 535K rwdata, 936K rodata, 768K init, 193K bss, 6892K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) and with DISCONTIGMEM disabled and with relatively large hole in the memory map it is: Memory: 23864K/30720K available (3197K kernel code, 516K rwdata, 936K rodata, 764K init, 179K bss, 6856K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) Moreover, since m68k already has custom pfn_valid() it is possible to define HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID to enable freeing of unused memory map. The minimal size of a hole that can be freed should not be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES so to achieve more substantial memory savings let m68k also define custom FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER. With FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER set to 9 memory usage becomes: Memory: 23880K/30720K available (3197K kernel code, 516K rwdata, 936K rodata, 764K init, 179K bss, 6840K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201101170454.9567-14-rppt@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

The pg_data_t node structures and their initialization currently depends on !CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK. Since they are required only for DISCONTIGMEM make this dependency explicit and replace usage of CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK with CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM where appropriate. The CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK was implicitly disabled on the ColdFire MMU variant, although it always presumed a single memory bank. As there is no actual need for DISCONTIGMEM in this case, make sure that ColdFire MMU systems set CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK to 'y'.

Currently ARC uses DISCONTIGMEM to cope with sparse physical memory address space on systems with 2 memory banks. While DISCONTIGMEM avoids wasting memory on unpopulated memory map, it adds both memory and CPU overhead relatively to FLATMEM. Moreover, DISCONTINGMEM is generally considered deprecated. The obvious replacement for DISCONTIGMEM would be SPARSEMEM, but it is also less efficient than FLATMEM in pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() conversions. Besides it requires tuning of SECTION_SIZE which is not trivial for possible ARC memory configuration. Since the memory map for both banks is always allocated from the "lowmem" bank, it is possible to use FLATMEM for two-bank configuration and simply free the unused hole in the memory map. All is required for that is to provide ARC-specific pfn_valid() that will take into account actual physical memory configuration and define HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID.

ARM and ARM64 free unused parts of the memory map just before the initialization of the page allocator. To allow holes in the memory map both architectures overload pfn_valid() and define HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID. Allowing holes in the memory map for FLATMEM may be useful for small machines, such as ARC and m68k and will enable those architectures to cease using DISCONTIGMEM and still support more than one memory bank. Move the functions that free unused memory map to generic mm and enable them in case HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID=y. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201101170454.9567-10-rppt@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

ARM is the only architecture that defines CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL which in turn enables memmap_valid_within() function that is intended to verify existence of struct page associated with a pfn when there are holes in the memory map. However, the ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL also enables HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID and arch-specific pfn_valid() implementation that also deals with the holes in the memory map. The only two users of memmap_valid_within() call this function after a call to pfn_valid() so the memmap_valid_within() check becomes redundant. Remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL and memmap_valid_within() and rely entirely on ARM's implementation of pfn_valid() that is now enabled unconditionally.

SPARSEMEM memory model suitable for systems with large holes in their phyiscal memory layout. With SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled it provides pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() as fast as FLATMEM. Make it the default memory model for IA-64 and disable DISCONTIGMEM which is considered obsolete for quite some time.

Virtual memory map was intended to avoid wasting memory on the memory map on systems with large holes in the physical memory layout. Long ago it been superseded first by DISCONTIGMEM and then by SPARSEMEM. Moreover, SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP provide the same functionality in much more portable way. As the first step to removing the VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP forbid it's usage with FLATMEM and panic on systems with large holes in the physical memory layout that try to run FLATMEM kernels.

For both FLATMEM and DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM the virtual map initialization is spread over paging_init() for no good reason. Split out the bits related to virtual map initialization to a helper functions, one for FLATMEM and another for !FLATMEM configurations.

The ia64 implementation of __early_pfn_to_nid() essentially relies on the same data as the generic implementation. The correspondence between memory ranges and nodes is set in memblock during early memory initialization in register_active_ranges() function. The initialization of sparsemem that requires early_pfn_to_nid() happens later and it can use the memblock information like the other architectures.

Patch series "arch, mm: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM", v2. It's been a while since DISCONTIGMEM is generally considered deprecated, but it is still used by four architectures. This set replaces DISCONTIGMEM with a different way to handle holes in the memory map and marks DISCONTIGMEM configuration as BROKEN in Kconfigs of these architectures with the intention to completely remove it in several releases. While for 64-bit alpha and ia64 the switch to SPARSEMEM is quite obvious and was a matter of moving some bits around, for smaller 32-bit arc and m68k SPARSEMEM is not necessarily the best thing to do. On 32-bit machines SPARSEMEM would require large sections to make section index fit in the page flags, but larger sections mean that more memory is wasted for unused memory map. Besides, pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() become less efficient, at least on arc. So I've decided to generalize arm's approach for freeing of unused parts of the memory map with FLATMEM and enable it for both arc and m68k. The details are in the description of patches 10 (arc) and 13 (m68k). This patch (of 13): Enable SPARSEMEM support on alpha and deprecate DISCONTIGMEM. The required changes are mostly around moving duplicated definitions of page access and address conversion macros to a common place and making sure they are available for all memory models. The DISCONTINGMEM support is marked as BROKEN an will be removed in a couple of releases.

Building lkdtm with KASAN and Clang 11 or later results in the following error when attempting to load the module: kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt?

When Clang 11 adds a module constructor to rodata.o, it is also added to .rodata: any attempt to call it on initialization results in the above error. Therefore, disable KASAN instrumentation for rodata.o. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201214191413.3164796-1-elver@google.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "kasan: add workqueue stack for generic KASAN", v5. Syzbot reports many UAF issues for workqueue, see [1]. In some of these access/allocation happened in process_one_work(), we see the free stack is useless in KASAN report, it doesn't help programmers to solve UAF for workqueue issue. This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have workqueue queueing stack. It is useful for programmers to solve use-after-free or double-free memory issue. Generic KASAN also records the last two workqueue stacks and prints them in KASAN report. It is only suitable for generic KASAN. [1] https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/search?q=%22use-after-free%22+process_one_work [2] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198437 This patch (of 4): When analyzing use-after-free or double-free issue, recording the enqueuing work stacks is helpful to preserve usage history which potentially gives a hint about the affected code. For workqueue it has turned out to be useful to record the enqueuing work call stacks. Because user can see KASAN report to determine whether it is root cause. They don't need to enable debugobjects, but they have a chance to find out the root cause.

The size of vm area can be affected by the presence or not of the guard page. In particular when VM_NO_GUARD is present, the actual accessible size has to be considered like the real size minus the guard page. Currently kasan does not keep into account this information during the poison operation and in particular tries to poison the guard page as well. This approach, even if incorrect, does not cause an issue because the tags for the guard page are written in the shadow memory. With the future introduction of the Tag-Based KASAN, being the guard page inaccessible by nature, the write tag operation on this page triggers a fault. Fix kasan shadow poisoning size invoking get_vm_area_size() instead of accessing directly the field in the data structure to detect the correct value.

When multiple locks are acquired, they should be released in reverse order. For s_start() and s_stop() in mm/vmalloc.c, that is not the case. s_start: mutex_lock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock); s_stop : mutex_unlock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_unlock(&vmap_area_lock); This unlock sequence, though allowed, is not optimal. If a waiter is present, mutex_unlock() will need to go through the slowpath of waking up the waiter with preemption disabled. Fix that by releasing the spinlock first before the mutex.
