* mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulationKirill A. Shutemov2015-02-101-283/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database workloads. Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available. Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code. The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on each remap_file_pages(), unless they it can be merged with an adjacent one. I didn't find *any* real code that uses remap_file_pages(2) to test emulation impact on. I've checked Debian code search and source of all packages in ALT Linux. No real users: libc wrappers, mentions in strace, gdb, valgrind and this kind of stuff. There are few basic tests in LTP for the syscall. They work just fine with emulation. To test performance impact, I've written small test case which demonstrate pretty much worst case scenario: map 4G shmfs file, write to begin of every page pgoff of the page, remap pages in reverse order, read every page. The test creates 1 million of VMAs if emulation is in use, so I had to set vm.max_map_count to 1100000 to avoid -ENOMEM. Before: 23.3 ( +- 4.31% ) seconds After: 43.9 ( +- 0.85% ) seconds Slowdown: 1.88x I believe we can live with that.

* mm: mark remap_file_pages() syscall as deprecatedKirill A. Shutemov2014-06-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The remap_file_pages() system call is used to create a nonlinear mapping, that is, a mapping in which the pages of the file are mapped into a nonsequential order in memory. The advantage of using remap_file_pages() over using repeated calls to mmap(2) is that the former approach does not require the kernel to create additional VMA (Virtual Memory Area) data structures. Supporting of nonlinear mapping requires significant amount of non-trivial code in kernel virtual memory subsystem including hot paths. Also to get nonlinear mapping work kernel need a way to distinguish normal page table entries from entries with file offset (pte_file). Kernel reserves flag in PTE for this purpose. PTE flags are scarce resource especially on some CPU architectures. It would be nice to free up the flag for other usage. Fortunately, there are not many users of remap_file_pages() in the wild. It's only known that one enterprise RDBMS implementation uses the syscall on 32-bit systems to map files bigger than can linearly fit into 32-bit virtual address space. This use-case is not critical anymore since 64-bit systems are widely available. The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation. The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings. It's going to work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is preserved. One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can hit vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs. See comment for DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT for more details on the limit. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix spello] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Which seems very odd to me. Indeed this code ends up being nop in result -- pte_file_mksoft_dirty() operates with pte_t argument and returns new pte_t which were never used after. After looking more I think what we need is to soft-dirtify all newely remapped file pages because it should look like a new mapping for memory tracker.

VM_POPULATE only has any effect when userspace plays racy games with vmas by trying to unmap and remap memory regions that mmap or mlock are operating on. Also, the only effect of VM_POPULATE when userspace plays such games is that it avoids populating new memory regions that get remapped into the address range that was being operated on by the original mmap or mlock calls. Let's remove VM_POPULATE as there isn't any strong argument to mandate a new vm_flag.

* mm/fremap.c: fix possible oops on error pathMichel Lespinasse2013-03-141-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b10dbe ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized vm_flags without changing the generated code. However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of: - compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the !vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops - compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!) I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0 just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.

* mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to better deal with racy userspace programsMichel Lespinasse2013-02-231-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vm_populate() code populates user mappings without constantly holding the mmap_sem. This makes it susceptible to racy userspace programs: the user mappings may change while vm_populate() is running, and in this case vm_populate() may end up populating the new mapping instead of the old one. In order to reduce the possibility of userspace getting surprised by this behavior, this change introduces the VM_POPULATE vma flag which gets set on vmas we want vm_populate() to work on. This way vm_populate() may still end up populating the new mapping after such a race, but only if the new mapping is also one that the user has requested (using MAP_SHARED, MAP_LOCKED or mlock) to be populated.

Current code handles these pte operations locally, while the sourrounding code has to hold the mmap_sem write side since it's manipulating vmas. This means we're doing an unbounded amount of pte population work with mmap_sem held, and this causes problems as Andy Lutomirski reported (we've hit this at Google as well, though it's not entirely clear why people keep trying to use mlock(MCL_FUTURE) in the first place). I propose introducing a new mm_populate() function to do this pte population work after the mmap_sem has been released. mm_populate() does need to acquire the mmap_sem read side, but critically, it doesn't need to hold it continuously for the entire duration of the operation - it can drop it whenever things take too long (such as when hitting disk for a file read) and re-acquire it later on. The following patches are included - Patches 1 fixes some issues I noticed while working on the existing code. If needed, they could potentially go in before the rest of the patches. - Patch 2 introduces the new mm_populate() function and changes mmap_region() call sites to use it after they drop mmap_sem. This is inspired from Andy Lutomirski's proposal and is built as an extension of the work I had previously done for mlock() and mlockall() around v2.6.38-rc1. I had tried doing something similar at the time but had given up as there were so many do_mmap() call sites; the recent cleanups by Linus and Viro are a tremendous help here. - Patches 3-5 convert some of the less-obvious places doing unbounded pte populates to the new mm_populate() mechanism. - Patches 6-7 are code cleanups that are made possible by the mm_populate() work. In particular, they remove more code than the entire patch series added, which should be a good thing :) - Patch 8 is optional to this entire series. It only helps to deal more nicely with racy userspace programs that might modify their mappings while we're trying to populate them. It adds a new VM_POPULATE flag on the mappings we do want to populate, so that if userspace replaces them with mappings it doesn't want populated, mm_populate() won't populate those replacement mappings. This patch: Assorted small fixes. The first two are quite small: - Move check for vma->vm_private_data && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR) within existing if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)) block. Purely cosmetic. - In the VM_LOCKED case, when dropping PG_Mlocked for the over-mapped range, make sure we own the mmap_sem write lock around the munlock_vma_pages_range call as this manipulates the vma's vm_flags. Last fix requires a longer explanation. remap_file_pages() can do its work either through VM_NONLINEAR manipulation or by creating extra vmas. These two cases were inconsistent with each other (and ultimately, both wrong) as to exactly when did they fault in the newly mapped file pages: - In the VM_NONLINEAR case, new file pages would be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK flag wasn't passed. If MAP_NONBLOCK was passed, new file pages wouldn't be populated even if the vma is already marked as VM_LOCKED. - In the linear (emulated) case, the work is passed to the mmap_region() function which would populate the pages if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, and would not otherwise - regardless of the value of the MAP_NONBLOCK flag, because MAP_POPULATE wasn't being passed to mmap_region(). The desired behavior is that we want the pages to be populated and locked if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, or to be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK flag is not passed to remap_file_pages().

The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

* Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNTMel Gorman2009-02-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

* mmu-notifiers: coreAndrea Arcangeli2008-07-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages. There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too. sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte (and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and reused. Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released (so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in the secondary MMU). The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed, avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for each fixed number of spte unmapped. To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example. This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating primary-mmu pte). At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows several other optimizations that simplify life considerably. Dependencies: 1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical section could later immediately be freed without any further ->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap locks must be taken too. 2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n). This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM are all =n. The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers. Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and -ENOMEM failure paths exists already. struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void) { struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL); + int err; if (!kvm) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages); + kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops; + err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm); + if (err) { + kfree(kvm); + return ERR_PTR(err); + } + return kvm; } mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable. The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need them by luck).

The easiest solution is to emulate remap_file_pages on non-linear mappings with simple mmap() for non ram-backed filesystems. Applications continue to work (albeit slower), as long as the number of remappings remain below the maximum vma count. However all currently known real uses of non-linear mappings are for ram backed filesystems, which this patch doesn't affect.

* mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)Nick Piggin2007-07-191-31/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

* [PATCH] unpaged: VM_NONLINEAR VM_RESERVEDHugh Dickins2005-11-221-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's one peculiar use of VM_RESERVED which the previous patch left behind: because VM_NONLINEAR's try_to_unmap_cluster uses vm_private_data as a swapout cursor, but should never meet VM_RESERVED vmas, it was a way of extending VM_NONLINEAR to VM_RESERVED vmas using vm_private_data for some other purpose. But that's an empty set - they don't have the populate function required. So just throw away those VM_RESERVED tests. But one more interesting in rmap.c has to go too: try_to_unmap_one will want to swap out an anonymous page from VM_RESERVED or VM_UNPAGED area.

* [PATCH] unpaged: VM_UNPAGEDHugh Dickins2005-11-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages just leak away. Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core, to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range. Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages don't get on). Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

* [PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc take ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-30/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated. Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down, switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself. These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the "atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

* [PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in timeHugh Dickins2005-10-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.
