While working on s390 support for gigantic hugepages I ran into the following "Bad page state" warning when freeing gigantic pages: BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:580001 page:000003d116000040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:ffffffff00000000 index:0x0 flags: 0x7fffc0000000000() page dumped because: non-NULL mapping This is because page->compound_mapcount, which is part of a union with page->mapping, is initialized with -1 in prep_compound_gigantic_page(), and not cleared again during destroy_compound_gigantic_page(). Fix this by clearing the compound_mapcount in destroy_compound_gigantic_page() before clearing compound_head. Interestingly enough, the warning will not show up on x86_64, although this should not be architecture specific. Apparently there is an endianness issue, combined with the fact that the union contains both a 64 bit ->mapping pointer and a 32 bit atomic_t ->compound_mapcount as members. The resulting bogus page->mapping on x86_64 therefore contains 00000000ffffffff instead of ffffffff00000000 on s390, which will falsely trigger the PageAnon() check in free_pages_prepare() because page->mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON is true on little-endian architectures like x86_64 in this case (the page is not compound anymore, ->compound_head was already cleared before). As a result, page->mapping will be cleared before doing the checks in free_pages_check(). Not sure if the bogus "PageAnon() returning true" on x86_64 for the first tail page of a gigantic page (at this stage) has other theoretical implications, but they would also be fixed with this patch.

Currently we can have compound pages held on per cpu pagevecs, which leads to a lot of memory unavailable for reclaim when needed. In the systems with hundreads of processors it can be GBs of memory. On of the way of reproducing the problem is to not call munmap explicitly on all mapped regions (i.e. after receiving SIGTERM). After that some pages (with THP enabled also huge pages) may end up on lru_add_pvec, example below. void main() { #pragma omp parallel { size_t size = 55 * 1000 * 1000; // smaller than MEM/CPUS void *p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS , -1, 0); if (p != MAP_FAILED) memset(p, 0, size); //munmap(p, size); // uncomment to make the problem go away } } When we run it with THP enabled it will leave significant amount of memory on lru_add_pvec. This memory will be not reclaimed if we hit OOM, so when we run above program in a loop: for i in `seq 100`; do ./a.out; done many processes (95% in my case) will be killed by OOM. The primary point of the LRU add cache is to save the zone lru_lock contention with a hope that more pages will belong to the same zone and so their addition can be batched. The huge page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like a safer option when compared to a potential excess in the caching which can be quite large and much harder to fix because lru_add_drain_all is way to expensive and it is not really clear what would be a good moment to call it. Similarly we can reproduce the problem on lru_deactivate_pvec by adding: madvise(p, size, MADV_FREE); after memset. This patch flushes lru pvecs on compound page arrival making the problem less severe - after applying it kill rate of above example drops to 0%, due to reducing maximum amount of memory held on pvec from 28MB (with THP) to 56kB per CPU.

mem_cgroup_css_alloc() was returning NULL on failure while cgroup core expected it to return an ERR_PTR value leading to the following NULL deref after a css allocation failure. Fix it by return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) instead.

We account HugeTLB's shared page table to all processes who share it. The accounting happens during huge_pmd_share(). If somebody populates pud entry under us, we should decrease pagetable's refcount and decrease nr_pmds of the process. By mistake, I increase nr_pmds again in this case. :-/ It will lead to "BUG: non-zero nr_pmds on freeing mm: 2" on process' exit. Let's fix this by increasing nr_pmds only when we're sure that the page table will be used.

Commit d0164adc ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified __GFP_WAIT to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers and those that were unwilling to sleep. Later the definition was removed entirely. The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added. Without it, atomic users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and cannot access the page allocator atomic reserves. This patch addresses the problem. The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.

Currently we may put reserved by mempool elements into quarantine via kasan_kfree(). This is totally wrong since quarantine may really free these objects. So when mempool will try to use such element, use-after-free will happen. Or mempool may decide that it no longer need that element and double-free it. So don't put object into quarantine in kasan_kfree(), just poison it. Rename kasan_kfree() to kasan_poison_kfree() to respect that. Also, we shouldn't use kasan_slab_alloc()/kasan_krealloc() in kasan_unpoison_element() because those functions may update allocation stacktrace. This would be wrong for the most of the remove_element call sites. (The only call site where we may want to update alloc stacktrace is in mempool_alloc(). Kmemleak solves this by calling kmemleak_update_trace(), so we could make something like that too. But this is out of scope of this patch).

jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good but the logic is unnecessarily complex. 1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over: : jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so : the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we : conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit : d2eecb03, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size : greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today. Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL. 2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored since the flag was introduced. Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is not currently used as per above leave that option open.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12 size and that fits into !costly allocation request size. PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0 or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the order-4 one. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. pte_alloc_one{_kernel}, pmd_alloc_one allocate PTE_ORDER resp. PMD_ORDER but both are not larger than 1. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pte,pmd,pud}_alloc_one{_kernel}, late_pgtable_alloc use PGALLOC_GFP for __get_free_page (aka order-0). pgd_alloc is slightly more complex because it allocates from pgd_cache if PGD_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE and PGD_SIZE depends on the configuration (CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS, PAGE_SHIFT and CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS). As per config PGTABLE_LEVELS int default 2 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_36 default 2 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_42 default 3 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48 default 3 if ARM64_4K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_39 default 3 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_47 default 4 if !ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48 we should have the following options CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:4k size:4096 pages:1 CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16 pages:1 CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:3 PAGE_SIZE:64k size:512 pages:1 CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:47 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:3 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16384 pages:1 CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:42 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:2 PAGE_SIZE:64k size:65536 pages:1 CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:39 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:3 PAGE_SIZE:4k size:4096 pages:1 CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:36 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:2 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16384 pages:1 All of them fit into a single page (aka order-0).

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte past its range of allocated pages. This can corrupt an in-use page by zeroing out its first byte.

Since commit 36324a99 ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address space") changed to use find_lock_task_mm() for finding a mm_struct to reap, it is guaranteed that mm->mm_users > 0 because find_lock_task_mm() returns a task_struct with ->mm != NULL.
