mm: remove more IS_ERR_VALUE abuses · 5d22fc25

Linus Torvalds authored May 27, 2016

The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned
the starting address on success, and an error value on failure.  The
reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving
like the mmap() interface does.

However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally
pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion.

What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer
return of zero for success and negative error number on failure.

So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention,
and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk().

remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses · 287980e4

Arnd Bergmann authored May 27, 2016

Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

mm: fix section mismatch warning · 7ded384a

Linus Torvalds authored May 27, 2016

The register_page_bootmem_info_node() function needs to be marked __init
in order to avoid a new warning introduced by commit f65e91df ("mm:
use early_pfn_to_nid in register_page_bootmem_info_node").

Otherwise you'll get a warning about how a non-init function calls
early_pfn_to_nid (which is __meminit)

mm: disable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT on !NO_BOOTMEM · 11e68567

Gavin Shan authored May 27, 2016

When we have !NO_BOOTMEM, the deferred page struct initialization
doesn't work well because the pages reserved in bootmem are released to
the page allocator uncoditionally. It causes memory corruption and
system crash eventually.

As Mel suggested, the bootmem is retiring slowly. We fix the issue by
simply hiding DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT when bootmem is enabled.

mm/memcontrol.c: fix the margin computation in mem_cgroup_margin() · cbedbac3

Li RongQing authored May 27, 2016

mem_cgroup_margin() might return (memory.limit - memory_count) when the
memsw.limit is in excess.  This doesn't happen usually because we do not
allow excess on hard limits and (memory.limit <= memsw.limit), but
__GFP_NOFAIL charges can force the charge and cause the excess when no
memory is really swappable (swap is full or no anonymous memory is
left).

oom_reaper: close race with exiting task · e2fe1456

In other words:

  __oom_reap_task		exit_mm
    atomic_inc_not_zero
				  tsk->mm = NULL
				  mmput
				    atomic_dec_and_test # > 0
				  exit_oom_victim # New victim will be
						  # selected
				<OOM killer invoked>
				  # no TIF_MEMDIE task so we can select a new one
    unmap_page_range # to release the memory

The race exists even without the oom_reaper because anybody who pins the
address space and gets preempted might race with exit_mm but oom_reaper
made this race more probable.

We can address the oom_reaper part by using oom_lock for __oom_reap_task
because this would guarantee that a new oom victim will not be selected
if the oom reaper might race with the exit path.  This doesn't solve the
original issue, though, because somebody else still might be pinning
mm_users and so __mmput won't be called to release the memory but that
is not really realiably solvable because the task will get away from the
oom sight as soon as it is unhashed from the task_list and so we cannot
guarantee a new victim won't be selected.

mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in register_page_bootmem_info_node · f65e91df

Yang Shi authored May 27, 2016

register_page_bootmem_info_node() is invoked in mem_init(), so it will
be called before page_alloc_init_late() if DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is
enabled. But, pfn_to_nid() depends on memmap which won't be fully setup
until page_alloc_init_late() is done, so replace pfn_to_nid() by
early_pfn_to_nid().

mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init · fe53ca54

Yang Shi authored May 27, 2016

page_ext_init() checks suitable pages with pfn_to_nid(), but
pfn_to_nid() depends on memmap which will not be setup fully until
page_alloc_init_late() is done.  Use early_pfn_to_nid() instead of
pfn_to_nid() so that page extension could be still used early even
though CONFIG_ DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled and catch early page
allocation call sites.

Suggested by Joonsoo Kim [1], this fix basically undoes the change
introduced by commit b8f1a75d ("mm: call page_ext_init() after all
struct pages are initialized") and fixes the same problem with a better
approach.

direct-io: fix direct write stale data exposure from concurrent buffered read · 9ecd10b7

Eryu Guan authored May 27, 2016

Currently direct writes inside i_size on a DIO_SKIP_HOLES filesystem are
not allowed to allocate blocks(get_more_blocks() sets 'create' to 0
before calling get_block() callback), if it's a sparse file, direct
writes fall back to buffered writes to avoid stale data exposure from
concurrent buffered read.  But there're two cases that can result in
stale data exposure are not correctly detected.

1. The detection for "writing inside i_size" is not sufficient,
   writes can be treated as "extending writes" wrongly.  For example,
   direct write 1FSB (file system block) to a 1FSB sparse file on
   ext2/3/4, starting from offset 0, in this case it's writing inside
   i_size, but 'create' is non-zero, because 'block_in_file' and
   '(i_size_read(inode) >> blkbits' are both zero.

2. Direct writes starting from or beyong i_size (not inside i_size)
   also could trigger block allocation and expose stale data.  For
   example, consider a sparse file with i_size of 2k, and a write to
   offset 2k or 3k into the file, with a filesystem block size of 4k.
   (Thanks to Jeff Moyer for pointing this case out in his review.)

The first problem can be demostrated by running ltp-aiodio test ADSP045
many times.  When testing on extN filesystems, I see test failures
occasionally, buffered read could read non-zero (stale) data.

ADSP045: dio_sparse -a 4k -w 4k -s 2k -n 1

dio_sparse    0  TINFO  :  Dirtying free blocks
dio_sparse    0  TINFO  :  Starting I/O tests
non zero buffer at buf[0] => 0xffffffaa,ffffffaa,ffffffaa,ffffffaa
non-zero read at offset 0
dio_sparse    0  TINFO  :  Killing childrens(s)
dio_sparse    1  TFAIL  :  dio_sparse.c:191: 1 children(s) exited abnormally

The second problem can also be reproduced easily by a hacked dio_sparse
program, which accepts an option to specify the write offset.

What we should really do is to disable block allocation for writes that
could result in filling holes inside i_size.
