Here is a device has xen-pirq-MSI interrupt. Dom0 might lost interrupt during driver irq_disable/irq_enable. Here is the scenario, 1. irq_disable -> disable_dynirq -> mask_evtchn(irq channel) 2. dev interrupt raised by HW and Xen mark its evtchn as pending 3. irq_enable -> startup_pirq -> eoi_pirq -> clear_evtchn(channel of irq) -> clear pending status 4. consume_one_event process the irq event without pending bit assert which result in interrupt lost once 5.

When starting the xenwatch thread a theoretical deadlock situation is possible: xs_init() contains: task = kthread_run(xenwatch_thread, NULL, "xenwatch"); if (IS_ERR(task)) return PTR_ERR(task); xenwatch_pid = task->pid; And xenwatch_thread() does: mutex_lock(&xenwatch_mutex); ... event->handle->callback(); ... mutex_unlock(&xenwatch_mutex); The callback could call unregister_xenbus_watch() which does: ... if (current->pid != xenwatch_pid) mutex_lock(&xenwatch_mutex); ... In case a watch is firing before xenwatch_pid could be set and the callback of that watch unregisters a watch, then a self-deadlock would occur.

However, a parallel shmem_setattr() could access one of these entries directly and add it back to the global shrinklist if it is removed, with the spinlock held. The logic itself looks solid since an entry could be either in a local list or the global list, otherwise it is removed from one of them by list_del_init(). So probably the race condition is that, one CPU is in the middle of INIT_LIST_HEAD() but the other CPU calls list_empty() which returns true too early then the following list_add_tail() sees a corrupted entry. list_empty_careful() is designed to fix this situation.

Revert commit bb01b64c ("mm/balloon_compaction.c: enqueue zero page to balloon device")' Zeroing ballon pages is rather time consuming, especially when a lot of pages are in flight. E.g. 7GB worth of ballooned memory takes 2.8s with __GFP_ZERO while it takes ~491ms without it. The original commit argued that zeroing will help ksmd to merge these pages on the host but this argument is assuming that the host actually marks balloon pages for ksm which is not universally true. So we pay performance penalty for something that even might not be used in the end which is wrong. The host can zero out pages on its own when there is a need.

Nadav reported KSM can corrupt the user data by the TLB batching race[1]. That means data user written can be lost. Quote from Nadav Amit: "For this race we need 4 CPUs: CPU0: Caches a writable and dirty PTE entry, and uses the stale value for write later. CPU1: Runs madvise_free on the range that includes the PTE. It would clear the dirty-bit. It batches TLB flushes. CPU2: Writes 4 to /proc/PID/clear_refs , clearing the PTEs soft-dirty. We care about the fact that it clears the PTE write-bit, and of course, batches TLB flushes. CPU3: Runs KSM. Our purpose is to pass the following test in write_protect_page(): if (pte_write(*pvmw.pte) || pte_dirty(*pvmw.pte) || (pte_protnone(*pvmw.pte) && pte_savedwrite(*pvmw.pte))) Since it will avoid TLB flush. And we want to do it while the PTE is stale. Later, and before replacing the page, we would be able to change the page. Note that all the operations the CPU1-3 perform canhappen in parallel since they only acquire mmap_sem for read. We start with two identical pages. Everything below regards the same page/PTE. CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 ---- ---- ---- ---- Write the same value on page [cache PTE as dirty in TLB] MADV_FREE pte_mkclean() 4 > clear_refs pte_wrprotect() write_protect_page() [ success, no flush ] pages_indentical() [ ok ] Write to page different value [Ok, using stale PTE] replace_page() Later, CPU1, CPU2 and CPU3 would flush the TLB, but that is too late. CPU0 already wrote on the page, but KSM ignored this write, and it got lost" In above scenario, MADV_FREE is fixed by changing TLB batching API including [set|clear]_tlb_flush_pending. Remained thing is soft-dirty part. This patch changes soft-dirty uses TLB batching API instead of flush_tlb_mm and KSM checks pending TLB flush by using mm_tlb_flush_pending so that it will flush TLB to avoid data lost if there are other parallel threads pending TLB flush.

Nadav reported parallel MADV_DONTNEED on same range has a stale TLB problem and Mel fixed it[1] and found same problem on MADV_FREE[2]. Quote from Mel Gorman: "The race in question is CPU 0 running madv_free and updating some PTEs while CPU 1 is also running madv_free and looking at the same PTEs. CPU 1 may have writable TLB entries for a page but fail the pte_dirty check (because CPU 0 has updated it already) and potentially fail to flush. Hence, when madv_free on CPU 1 returns, there are still potentially writable TLB entries and the underlying PTE is still present so that a subsequent write does not necessarily propagate the dirty bit to the underlying PTE any more. Reclaim at some unknown time at the future may then see that the PTE is still clean and discard the page even though a write has happened in the meantime. I think this is possible but I could have missed some protection in madv_free that prevents it happening." This patch aims for solving both problems all at once and is ready for other problem with KSM, MADV_FREE and soft-dirty story[3]. TLB batch API(tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu] uses [inc|dec]_tlb_flush_pending and mmu_tlb_flush_pending so that when tlb_finish_mmu is called, we can catch there are parallel threads going on. In that case, forcefully, flush TLB to prevent for user to access memory via stale TLB entry although it fail to gather page table entry. I confirmed this patch works with [4] test program Nadav gave so this patch supersedes "mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range v2" in current mmotm. NOTE: This patch modifies arch-specific TLB gathering interface(x86, ia64, s390, sh, um). It seems most of architecture are straightforward but s390 need to be careful because tlb_flush_mmu works only if mm->context.flush_mm is set to non-zero which happens only a pte entry really is cleared by ptep_get_and_clear and friends. However, this problem never changes the pte entries but need to flush to prevent memory access from stale tlb.

Before making it simple, this patch separates architecture specific part and rename it to arch_tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu and generic part just calls it. It shouldn't change any behavior.

While deferring TLB flushes is a good practice, the reverted patch caused pending TLB flushes to be checked while the page-table lock is not taken. As a result, in architectures with weak memory model (PPC), Linux may miss a memory-barrier, miss the fact TLB flushes are pending, and cause (in theory) a memory corruption. Since the alternative of using smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() was considered a bit open-coded, and the performance impact is expected to be small, the previous patch is reverted. This reverts b0943d61 ("mm: numa: defer TLB flush for THP migration as long as possible"). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170802000818.4760-4-namit@vmware.comSigned-off-by:

Reading tlb_flush_pending while the page-table lock is taken does not require a barrier, since the lock/unlock already acts as a barrier. Removing the barrier in mm_tlb_flush_pending() to address this issue. However, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() calls mm_tlb_flush_pending() while the page-table lock is already released, which may present a problem on architectures with weak memory model (PPC). To deal with this case, a new parameter is added to mm_tlb_flush_pending() to indicate if it is read without the page-table lock taken, and calling smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() in this case.

Patch series "fixes of TLB batching races", v6. It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various races. Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others. The more fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes the page-tables. This other core may assume a PTE change does not require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that TLB flushes are still pending. This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior). A proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED. Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and replacing the KSM page. Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect architectures with weak memory model. This patch (of 7): Setting and clearing mm->tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in task_numa_work(). If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes. This can lead to the same race between migration and change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of tlb_flush_pending. The result of this race was data corruption, which means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data corruption. An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.

We accidentally just drop the lock twice instead of taking it and then releasing it. This isn't a big issue unless you are adding more than one device to test on, and the kmod.sh doesn't do that yet, however this obviously is the correct thing to do.

Parsing with kstrtol() enables values to be negative, and we failed to check for negative values when parsing with test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() or test_dev_config_update_uint_range(). test_dev_config_update_uint_range() has a minimum check though so an issue is not present there. test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() is only used for the number of threads to use (config_num_threads_store()), and indeed this would fail with an attempt for a large allocation. Although the issue is only present in practice with the first fix both by using kstrtoul() instead of kstrtol().

huge_add_to_page_cache->add_to_page_cache implicitly unlocks the page before returning in case of errors. The error returned was -EEXIST by running UFFDIO_COPY on a non-hole offset of a VM_SHARED hugetlbfs mapping.

The RDMA subsystem can generate several thousand of these messages per second eventually leading to a kernel crash. Ratelimit these messages to prevent this crash. Doug said: "I've been carrying a version of this for several kernel versions. I don't remember when they started, but we have one (and only one) class of machines: Dell PE R730xd, that generate these errors. When it happens, without a rate limit, we get rcu timeouts and kernel oopses. With the rate limit, we just get a lot of annoying kernel messages but the machine continues on, recovers, and eventually the memory operations all succeed" And: "> Well... why are all these EBUSY's occurring? It sounds inefficient > (at least) but if it is expected, normal and unavoidable then > perhaps we should just remove that message altogether? I don't have an answer to that question. To be honest, I haven't looked real hard. We never had this at all, then it started out of the blue, but only on our Dell 730xd machines (and it hits all of them), but no other classes or brands of machines. And we have our 730xd machines loaded up with different brands and models of cards (for instance one dedicated to mlx4 hardware, one for qib, one for mlx5, an ocrdma/cxgb4 combo, etc), so the fact that it hit all of the machines meant it wasn't tied to any particular brand/model of RDMA hardware. To me, it always smelled of a hardware oddity specific to maybe the CPUs or mainboard chipsets in these machines, so given that I'm not an mm expert anyway, I never chased it down. A few other relevant details: it showed up somewhere around 4.8/4.9 or thereabouts. It never happened before, but the prinkt has been there since the 3.18 days, so possibly the test to trigger this message was changed, or something else in the allocator changed such that the situation started happening on these machines? And, like I said, it is specific to our 730xd machines (but they are all identical, so that could mean it's something like their specific ram configuration is causing the allocator to hit this on these machine but not on other machines in the cluster, I don't want to say it's necessarily the model of chipset or CPU, there are other bits of identicalness between these machines)" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/499c0f6cc10d6eb829a67f2a4d75b4228a9b356e.1501695897.git.jtoppins@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

As Tetsuo points out: "Commit 385386cf ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly 0kB" In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during suspend-to-disk. This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the aggregate zone data. Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.
