During region creation, perform Address Range Scrubs (ARS) for the SPA (System Physical Address) ranges to retrieve known poison locations from firmware. Add a new data structure 'nd_poison' which is used as a list in nvdimm_bus to store these poison locations. When creating a pmem namespace, if there is any known poison associated with its physical address space, convert the poison ranges to bad sectors that are exposed using the badblocks interface.

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine check recovery features, this would mean a crash. The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device. Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to gendisks. Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Take the core badblocks implementation from md, and make it generally available. This follows the same style as kernel implementations of linked lists, rb-trees etc, where you can have a structure that can be embedded anywhere, and accessor functions to manipulate the data. The only changes in this copy of the code are ones to generalize function/variable names from md-specific ones. Also add init and free functions.

When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read partitions. The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry. However, it is set to NULL in del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is deleted from userspace view. There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev. That device is the parent of the disk. It is guaranteed to not be freed until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference. We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since ->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent. Longer term we should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop carrying this pointer in the gendisk.

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility to forgo establishing a filesystem. This capability is targeted primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for guests. It can be disabled / enabled dynamically via the new BLKDAXSET ioctl.

This effectively promotes IORESOURCE_BUSY to IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE semantics by default. If userspace really believes it is safe to access the memory region it can also perform the extra step of disabling an active driver. This protects device address ranges with read side effects and otherwise directs userspace to use the driver. Persistent memory presents a large "mistake surface" to /dev/mem as now accidental writes can corrupt a filesystem. In general if a device driver is busily using a memory region it already informs other parts of the kernel to not touch it via request_mem_region(). /dev/mem should honor the same safety restriction by default. Debugging a device driver from userspace becomes more difficult with this enabled. Any application using /dev/mem or mmap of sysfs pci resources will now need to perform the extra step of either: 1/ Disabling the driver, for example: echo <device id> > /dev/bus/<parent bus>/drivers/<driver name>/unbind 2/ Rebooting with "iomem=relaxed" on the command line 3/ Recompiling with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n Traditional users of /dev/mem like dosemu are unaffected because the first 1MB of memory is not subject to the IO_STRICT_DEVMEM restriction. Legacy X configurations use /dev/mem to talk to graphics hardware, but that functionality has since moved to kernel graphics drivers.

Jan Stancek reported that I wrecked things for him by fixing things for Vladimir :/ His report was due to an UNINTERRUPTIBLE wait getting -EINTR, which should not be possible, however my previous patch made this possible by unconditionally checking signal_pending(). We cannot use current->state as was done previously, because the instruction after the store to that variable it can be changed. We must instead pass the initial state along and use that.

Recent changes to how GFP_ATOMIC is defined seems to have broken the condition to use mips_alloc_from_contiguous() in mips_dma_alloc_coherent(). I couldn't bottom out the exact change but I think it's this commit d0164adc ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd"). GFP_ATOMIC has multiple bits set and the check for !(gfp & GFP_ATOMIC) isn't enough. The reason behind this condition is to check whether we can potentially do a sleeping memory allocation. Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() instead which should be more robust.

It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as well. This has been shown in practice: Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory ... Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009 And this will result in a kernel panic. If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state. However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to panic due to unkillable processes.

Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems") and 982792c7 ("x86, mm: probe memory block size for generic x86 64bit") introduced large block sizes for x86. This made it possible to have multiple sections per memory block where previously, there was a only every one section per block. Since blocks consist of contiguous ranges of section, there can be holes in the blocks where sections are not present. If one attempts to offline such a block, a crash occurs since the code is not designed to deal with this. This patch is a quick fix to gaurd against the crash by not allowing blocks with non-present sections to be offlined.

Dmitry Vyukov provides a little program, autogenerated by syzkaller, which races a fault on a mapping of a sparse memfd object, against truncation of that object below the fault address: run repeatedly for a few minutes, it reliably generates shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks). (But there's nothing specific to memfd here, nor to the fstat which it happened to use to generate the fault: though that looked suspicious, since a shmem_recalc_inode() had been added there recently. The same problem can be reproduced with open+unlink in place of memfd_create, and with fstatfs in place of fstat.) v3.7 commit 0f3c42f5 ("tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING") explains one cause of such a warning (a race with shmem_writepage to swap), and possible solutions; but we never took it further, and this syzkaller incident turns out to have a different cause. shmem_getpage_gfp()'s error recovery, when a freshly allocated page is then found to be beyond eof, looks plausible - decrementing the alloced count that was just before incremented - but in fact can go wrong, if a racing thread (the truncator, for example) gets its shmem_recalc_inode() in just after our delete_from_page_cache(). delete_from_page_cache() decrements nrpages, that shmem_recalc_inode() will balance the books by decrementing alloced itself, then our decrement of alloced take it one too low: leading to the WARNING when the object is finally evicted. Once the new page has been exposed in the page cache, shmem_getpage_gfp() must leave it to shmem_recalc_inode() itself to get the accounting right in all cases (and not fall through from "trunc:" to "decused:"). Adjust that error recovery block; and the reinitialization of info and sbinfo can be removed too. While we're here, fix shmem_writepage() to avoid the original issue: it will be safe against a racing shmem_recalc_inode(), if it merely increments swapped before the shmem_delete_from_page_cache() which decrements nrpages (but it must then do its own shmem_recalc_inode() before that, while still in balance, instead of after). (Aside: why do we shmem_recalc_inode() here in the swap path? Because its raison d'etre is to cope with clean sparse shmem pages being reclaimed behind our back: so here when swapping is a good place to look for that case.) But I've not now managed to reproduce this bug, even without the patch. I don't see why I didn't do that earlier: perhaps inhibited by the preference to eliminate shmem_recalc_inode() altogether. Driven by this incident, I do now have a patch to do so at last; but still want to sit on it for a bit, there's a couple of questions yet to be resolved.

However, the root cause for the above memory leak resides in region_del. In this specific case, a "placeholder" entry is created in region_chg. The associated page allocation fails, and the placeholder entry is left in the reserve map. This is "by design" as the entry should be deleted when the map is released. The bug is in the region_del routine which is used to delete entries within a specific range (and when the map is released). region_del did not handle the case where a placeholder entry exactly matched the start of the range range to be deleted. In this case, the entry would not be deleted and leaked. The fix is to take these special placeholder entries into account in region_del. The region_chg error path leak is also fixed.

Currently at the beginning of hugetlb_fault(), we call huge_pte_offset() and check whether the obtained *ptep is a migration/hwpoison entry or not. And if not, then we get to call huge_pte_alloc(). This is racy because the *ptep could turn into migration/hwpoison entry after the huge_pte_offset() check. This race results in BUG_ON in huge_pte_alloc(). We don't have to call huge_pte_alloc() when the huge_pte_offset() returns non-NULL, so let's fix this bug with moving the code into else block. Note that the *ptep could turn into a migration/hwpoison entry after this block, but that's not a problem because we have another !pte_present check later (we never go into hugetlb_no_page() in that case.)

Currently the full stop_machine() routine is only enabled on SMP if module unloading is enabled, or if the CPUs are hotpluggable. This leads to configurations where stop_machine() is broken as it will then only run the callback on the local CPU with irqs disabled, and not stop the other CPUs or run the callback on them. For example, this breaks MTRR setup on x86 in certain configs since ea8596bb ("kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and text_poke_smp_batch() functions") as the MTRR is only established on the boot CPU. This patch removes the Kconfig option for STOP_MACHINE and uses the SMP and HOTPLUG_CPU config options to compile the correct stop_machine() for the architecture, removing the false dependency on MODULE_UNLOAD in the process.

The kmemleak_init() definition in mm/kmemleak.c is marked __init but its prototype in include/linux/kmemleak.h is marked __ref since commit a6186d89 ("kmemleak: Mark the early log buffer as __initdata"). This causes a section mismatch which is reported as a warning when building with clang -Wsection, because kmemleak_init() is declared in section .ref.text but defined in .init.text. Fix this by marking kmemleak_init() prototype __init.

Commit 42cb14b1 ("mm: migrate dirty page without clear_page_dirty_for_io etc") simplified the migration of a PageDirty pagecache page: one stat needs moving from zone to zone and that's about all. It's convenient and safest for it to shift the PageDirty bit from old page to new, just before updating the zone stats: before copying data and marking the new PageUptodate. This is all done while both pages are isolated and locked, just as before; and just as before, there's a moment when the new page is visible in the radix_tree, but not yet PageUptodate. What's new is that it may now be briefly visible as PageDirty before it is PageUptodate. When I scoured the tree to see if this could cause a problem anywhere, the only places I found were in two similar functions __r4w_get_page(): which look up a page with find_get_page() (not using page lock), then claim it's uptodate if it's PageDirty or PageWriteback or PageUptodate. I'm not sure whether that was right before, but now it might be wrong (on rare occasions): only claim the page is uptodate if PageUptodate. Or perhaps the page in question could never be migratable anyway?

Tetsuo Handa has reported that the system might basically livelock in OOM condition without triggering the OOM killer. The issue is caused by internal dependency of the direct reclaim on vmstat counter updates (via zone_reclaimable) which are performed from the workqueue context. If all the current workers get assigned to an allocation request, though, they will be looping inside the allocator trying to reclaim memory but zone_reclaimable can see stalled numbers so it will consider a zone reclaimable even though it has been scanned way too much. WQ concurrency logic will not consider this situation as a congested workqueue because it relies that worker would have to sleep in such a situation. This also means that it doesn't try to spawn new workers or invoke the rescuer thread if the one is assigned to the queue. In order to fix this issue we need to do two things. First we have to let wq concurrency code know that we are in trouble so we have to do a short sleep. In order to prevent from issues handled by 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") we limit the sleep only to worker threads which are the ones of the interest anyway. The second thing to do is to create a dedicated workqueue for vmstat and mark it WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to note it participates in the reclaim and to have a spare worker thread for it.

Commit 016c13da ("mm, page_alloc: use masks and shifts when converting GFP flags to migrate types") has swapped MIGRATE_MOVABLE and MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE in the enum definition. However, migratetype_names wasn't updated to reflect that. As a result, the file /proc/pagetypeinfo shows the counts for Movable as Reclaimable and vice versa. Additionally, commit 0aaa29a5 ("mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand") introduced MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, but did not add a letter to distinguish it into show_migration_types(), so it doesn't appear in the listing of free areas during page alloc failures or oom kills. This patch fixes both problems. The atomic reserves will show with a letter 'H' in the free areas listings.

When the memory.high threshold is exceeded, try_charge() schedules a task_work to reclaim the excess. The reclaim target is set to the number of pages requested by try_charge(). This is wrong, because try_charge() usually charges more pages than requested (batch > nr_pages) in order to refill per cpu stocks. As a result, a process in a cgroup can easily exceed memory.high significantly when doing a lot of charges w/o returning to userspace (e.g. reading a file in big chunks). Fix this issue by assuring that when exceeding memory.high a process reclaims as many pages as were actually charged (i.e. batch).
