gen_pool_alloc_algo() iterates over the chunks of a pool trying to find a contiguous block of memory that satisfies the allocation request. The shortcut if (size > atomic_read(&chunk->avail)) continue; makes the loop skip over chunks that do not have enough bytes left to fulfill the request. There are two situations, though, where an allocation might still fail: (1) The available memory is not contiguous, i.e. the request cannot be fulfilled due to external fragmentation. (2) A race condition. Another thread runs the same code concurrently and is quicker to grab the available memory. In those situations, the loop calls pool->algo() to search the entire chunk, and pool->algo() returns some value that is >= end_bit to indicate that the search failed. This return value is then assigned to start_bit. The variables start_bit and end_bit describe the range that should be searched, and this range should be reset for every chunk that is searched. Today, the code fails to reset start_bit to 0. As a result, prefixes of subsequent chunks are ignored. Memory allocations might fail even though there is plenty of room left in these prefixes of those other chunks.

On 4.0, we saw a stack corruption from a page fault entering direct memory cgroup reclaim, calling into btrfs_releasepage(), which then tried to allocate an extent and recursed back into a kmem charge ad nauseam: [...] btrfs_releasepage+0x2c/0x30 try_to_release_page+0x32/0x50 shrink_page_list+0x6da/0x7a0 shrink_inactive_list+0x1e5/0x510 shrink_lruvec+0x605/0x7f0 shrink_zone+0xee/0x320 do_try_to_free_pages+0x174/0x440 try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages+0xa7/0x130 try_charge+0x17b/0x830 memcg_charge_kmem+0x40/0x80 new_slab+0x2d9/0x5a0 __slab_alloc+0x2fd/0x44f kmem_cache_alloc+0x193/0x1e0 alloc_extent_state+0x21/0xc0 __clear_extent_bit+0x2b5/0x400 try_release_extent_mapping+0x1a3/0x220 __btrfs_releasepage+0x31/0x70 btrfs_releasepage+0x2c/0x30 try_to_release_page+0x32/0x50 shrink_page_list+0x6da/0x7a0 shrink_inactive_list+0x1e5/0x510 shrink_lruvec+0x605/0x7f0 shrink_zone+0xee/0x320 do_try_to_free_pages+0x174/0x440 try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages+0xa7/0x130 try_charge+0x17b/0x830 mem_cgroup_try_charge+0x65/0x1c0 handle_mm_fault+0x117f/0x1510 __do_page_fault+0x177/0x420 do_page_fault+0xc/0x10 page_fault+0x22/0x30 On later kernels, kmem charging is opt-in rather than opt-out, and that particular kmem allocation in btrfs_releasepage() is no longer being charged and won't recurse and overrun the stack anymore. But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it. Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim. Then let recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

Commit 68f24b08 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") may cause the task->stack to be freed during kmemleak_scan() execution, leading to either a NULL pointer fault (if task->stack is NULL) or kmemleak accessing already freed memory. This patch uses the new try_get_task_stack() API to ensure that the task stack is not freed during kmemleak stack scanning. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173901.

KASAN uses stackdepot to memorize stacks for all kmalloc/kfree calls. Current stackdepot capacity is 16MB (1024 top level entries x 4 pages on second level). Size of each stack is (num_frames + 3) * sizeof(long). Which gives us ~84K stacks. This capacity was chosen empirically and it is enough to run kernel normally. However, when lots of configs are enabled and a fuzzer tries to maximize code coverage, it easily hits the limit within tens of minutes. I've tested for long a time with number of top level entries bumped 4x (4096). And I think I've seen overflow only once. But I don't have all configs enabled and code coverage has not reached maximum yet. So bump it 8x to 8192. Since we have two-level table, memory cost of this is very moderate -- currently the top-level table is 8KB, with this patch it is 64KB, which is negligible under KASAN. Here is some approx math. 128MB allows us to memorize ~670K stacks (assuming stack is ~200b). I've grepped kernel for kmalloc|kfree|kmem_cache_alloc|kmem_cache_free| kzalloc|kstrdup|kstrndup|kmemdup and it gives ~60K matches. Most of alloc/free call sites are reachable with only one stack. But some utility functions can have large fanout. Assuming average fanout is 5x, total number of alloc/free stacks is ~300K.

The use of config_enabled() is ambiguous. For config options, IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. will make intention clearer. Sometimes config_enabled() has been used for non-config options because it is useful to check whether the given symbol is defined or not. I have been tackling on deprecating config_enabled(), and now is the time to finish this work. Some new users have appeared for v4.9-rc1, but it is trivial to replace them: - arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() because CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 and CONFIG_EFI are boolean. - include/asm-generic/export.h replace config_enabled() with __is_defined(). Then, config_enabled() can be removed now. Going forward, please use IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. for config options, and __is_defined() for non-config symbols.

When kmem accounting switched from account by default to only account if flagged by __GFP_ACCOUNT, IPC mqueue and messages was left out. The production use case at hand is that mqueues should be customizable via sysctls in Docker containers in a Kubernetes cluster. This can only be safely allowed to the users of the cluster (without the risk that they can cause resource shortage on a node, influencing other users' containers) if all resources they control are bounded, i.e. accounted for.

On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2 seconds. During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the slab lists (slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node, and this sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance, Infiniband). This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large, it results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full. We tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the performance improved from 2s to 5ms.

As described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177821: After some analysis it seems to be that the problem is in alloc_super(). In case list_lru_init_memcg() fails it goes into destroy_super(), which calls list_lru_destroy(). And in list_lru_init() we see that in case memcg_init_list_lru() fails, lru->node is freed, but not set NULL, which then leads list_lru_destroy() to believe it is initialized and call memcg_destroy_list_lru(). memcg_destroy_list_lru() in turn can access lru->node[i].memcg_lrus, which is NULL.

Back in commit f56141e3 ("all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct"), all architectures and core code were changed to use task_struct::restart_block. However, when h8300 support was subsequently restored in v4.2, it was not updated to account for this, and maintains thread_info::restart_block, which is not kept in sync. This patch drops the redundant restart_block from thread_info, and moves h8300 to the common one in task_struct, ensuring that syscall restarting always works as expected.

There is a bug report that SLAB makes extreme load average due to over 2000 kworker thread. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172981 This issue is caused by kmemcg feature that try to create new set of kmem_caches for each memcg. Recently, kmem_cache creation is slowed by synchronize_sched() and futher kmem_cache creation is also delayed since kmem_cache creation is synchronized by a global slab_mutex lock. So, the number of kworker that try to create kmem_cache increases quietly. synchronize_sched() is for lockless access to node's shared array but it's not needed when a new kmem_cache is created. So, this patch rules out that case.

No, KASAN may not be able to co-exist with HOTPLUG_MEMORY at runtime, but for build testing there is no reason not to allow them together.

When I removed the per-zone bitlock hashed waitqueues in commit 9dcb8b68 ("mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues"), I removed all the magic hotplug memory initialization of said waitqueues too. But when I actually _tested_ the resulting build, I stupidly assumed that "allmodconfig" would enable memory hotplug. And it doesn't, because it enables KASAN instead, which then disables hotplug memory support. As a result, my build test of the per-zone waitqueues was totally broken, and I didn't notice that the compiler warns about the now unused iterator variable 'i'. I guess I should be happy that that seems to be the worst breakage from my clearly horribly failed test coverage.

Merge tag 'xfs-fixes-for-linus-4.9-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner: "This update contains fixes for most of the outstanding regressions introduced with the 4.9-rc1 XFS merge. There is also a fix for an iomap bug, too. This is a quite a bit larger than I'd prefer for a -rc3, but most of the change comes from cleaning up the new reflink copy on write code; it's much simpler and easier to understand now. These changes fixed several bugs in the new code, and it wasn't clear that there was an easier/simpler way to fix them. The rest of the fixes are the usual size you'd expect at this stage. I've left the commits to soak in linux-next for a some extra time because of the size before asking you to pull, no new problems with them have been reported so I think it's all OK. Summary: - iomap page offset masking fix for page faults - add IOMAP_REPORT to distinguish between read and fiemap map requests - cleanups to new shared data extent code - fix mount active status on failed log recovery - fix broken dquots in a buffer calculation - fix locking order issues and merge xfs_reflink_remap_range and xfs_file_share_range - rework unmapping of CoW extents and remove now unused functions - clean state when CoW is done" * tag 'xfs-fixes-for-linus-4.9-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (25 commits) xfs: clear cowblocks tag when cow fork is emptied xfs: fix up inode cowblocks tracking tracepoints fs: Do to trim high file position bits in iomap_page_mkwrite_actor xfs: remove xfs_bunmapi_cow xfs: optimize xfs_reflink_end_cow xfs: optimize xfs_reflink_cancel_cow_blocks xfs: refactor xfs_bunmapi_cow xfs: optimize writes to reflink files xfs: don't bother looking at the refcount tree for reads xfs: handle "raw" delayed extents xfs_reflink_trim_around_shared xfs: add xfs_trim_extent iomap: add IOMAP_REPORT xfs: merge xfs_reflink_remap_range and xfs_file_share_range xfs: remove xfs_file_wait_for_io xfs: move inode locking from xfs_reflink_remap_range to xfs_file_share_range xfs: fix the same_inode check in xfs_file_share_range xfs: remove the same fs check from xfs_file_share_range libxfs: v3 inodes are only valid on crc-enabled filesystems libxfs: clean up _calc_dquots_per_chunk xfs: unset MS_ACTIVE if mount fails ...

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

If we end up sleeping due to running out of requests, we should update the hardware and software queues in the map ctx structure. Otherwise we could end up having rq->mq_ctx point to the pre-sleep context, and risk corrupting ctx->rq_list since we'll be grabbing the wrong lock when inserting the request.

Since BIG_KEYS can't be compiled as module it requires one of the "stdrng" providers to be compiled into kernel. Otherwise big_key_crypto_init() fails on crypto_alloc_rng step and next dereference of big_key_skcipher (e.g. in big_key_preparse()) results in a NULL pointer dereference.

big_key has two separate initialisation functions, one that registers the key type and one that registers the crypto. If the key type fails to register, there's no problem if the crypto registers successfully because there's no way to reach the crypto except through the key type. However, if the key type registers successfully but the crypto does not, big_key_rng and big_key_blkcipher may end up set to NULL - but the code neither checks for this nor unregisters the big key key type. Furthermore, since the key type is registered before the crypto, it is theoretically possible for the kernel to try adding a big_key before the crypto is set up, leading to the same effect. Fix this by merging big_key_crypto_init() and big_key_init() and calling the resulting function late. If they're going to be encrypted, we shouldn't be creating big_keys before we have the facilities to do the encryption available. The key type registration is also moved after the crypto initialisation. The fix also includes message printing on failure. If the big_key type isn't correctly set up, simply doing: dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 count=1 | keyctl padd big_key a @s ought to cause an oops.

This fixes CVE-2016-7042. Fix a short sprintf buffer in proc_keys_show(). If the gcc stack protector is turned on, this can cause a panic due to stack corruption. The problem is that xbuf[] is not big enough to hold a 64-bit timeout rendered as weeks: (gdb) p 0xffffffffffffffffULL/(60*60*24*7) $2 = 30500568904943 That's 14 chars plus NUL, not 11 chars plus NUL. Expand the buffer to 16 chars. I think the unpatched code apparently works if the stack-protector is not enabled because on a 32-bit machine the buffer won't be overflowed and on a 64-bit machine there's a 64-bit aligned pointer at one side and an int that isn't checked again on the other side. The panic incurred looks something like: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff81352ebe CPU: 0 PID: 1692 Comm: reproducer Not tainted 4.7.2-201.fc24.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011 0000000000000086 00000000fbbd2679 ffff8800a044bc00 ffffffff813d941f ffffffff81a28d58 ffff8800a044bc98 ffff8800a044bc88 ffffffff811b2cb6 ffff880000000010 ffff8800a044bc98 ffff8800a044bc30 00000000fbbd2679 Call Trace: [<ffffffff813d941f>] dump_stack+0x63/0x84 [<ffffffff811b2cb6>] panic+0xde/0x22a [<ffffffff81352ebe>] ? proc_keys_show+0x3ce/0x3d0 [<ffffffff8109f7f9>] __stack_chk_fail+0x19/0x30 [<ffffffff81352ebe>] proc_keys_show+0x3ce/0x3d0 [<ffffffff81350410>] ? key_validate+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff8134db30>] ? key_default_cmp+0x20/0x20 [<ffffffff8126b31c>] seq_read+0x2cc/0x390 [<ffffffff812b6b12>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70 [<ffffffff81244fc7>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x150 [<ffffffff81357020>] ? security_file_permission+0xa0/0xc0 [<ffffffff81246156>] vfs_read+0x96/0x130 [<ffffffff81247635>] SyS_read+0x55/0xc0 [<ffffffff817eb872>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4 Reported-by: Ondrej Kozina <okozina@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: Ondrej Kozina <okozina@redhat.com> cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com>
