* mm/hugetlb: handle races in alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pagesMike Kravetz2015-06-241-4/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use region_chg to calculate the number of pages which will be added to the reserve map. Subpool and global reserve counts are adjusted based on the output of region_chg. Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines could race and add fewer pages than expected. If this happens, the subpool and global reserve counts are not correct. Compare the number of pages actually added (region_add) to those expected to added (region_chg). If fewer pages are actually added, this indicates a race and adjust counters accordingly.

* mm/hugetlb: compute/return the number of regions added by region_add()Mike Kravetz2015-06-241-24/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify region_add() to keep track of regions(pages) added to the reserve map and return this value. The return value can be compared to the return value of region_chg() to determine if the map was modified between calls. Make vma_commit_reservation() also pass along the return value of region_add(). In the normal case, we want vma_commit_reservation to return the same value as the preceding call to vma_needs_reservation. Create a common __vma_reservation_common routine to help keep the special case return values in sync Signed-off-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* mm/hugetlb: document the reserve map/region tracking routinesMike Kravetz2015-06-241-2/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of hitting this race will increase. alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The order of operations is as follows: - call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map - determine if enough resources are available for this operation - adjust global counts based on the expected change - call region_add() to update the reserve map The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on the output of region_chg will not be correct. In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag. The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted. Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in this area. This patch (of 3): This is a documentation only patch and does not modify any code. Descriptions of the routines used for reserve map/region tracking are added.

* mm/hugetlb: introduce minimum hugepage orderNaoya Horiguchi2015-06-241-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the initial value of order in dissolve_free_huge_page is 64 or 32, which leads to the following warning in static checker: mm/hugetlb.c:1203 dissolve_free_huge_pages() warn: potential right shift more than type allows '9,18,64' This is a potential risk of infinite loop, because 1 << order (== 0) is used in for-loop like this: for (pfn =3D start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn +=3D 1 << order) ...

* mm: hugetlb: introduce page_huge_activeNaoya Horiguchi2015-04-151-3/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are not safe from calling isolate_huge_page() on a hugepage concurrently, which can make the victim hugepage in invalid state and results in BUG_ON(). The root problem of this is that we don't have any information on struct page (so easily accessible) about hugepages' activeness. Note that hugepages' activeness means just being linked to hstate->hugepage_activelist, which is not the same as normal pages' activeness represented by PageActive flag. Normal pages are isolated by isolate_lru_page() which prechecks PageLRU before isolation, so let's do similarly for hugetlb with a new paeg_huge_active(). set/clear_page_huge_active() should be called within hugetlb_lock. But hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() don't do this, being justified because in these functions set_page_huge_active() is called right after the hugepage is allocated and no other thread tries to isolate it.

This option takes the same value as the 'size' option. min_size can be specified without specifying size. If both are specified, min_size must be less that or equal to size else the mount will fail.

* hugetlbfs: add minimum size tracking fields to subpool structureMike Kravetz2015-04-151-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hugetlbfs allocates huge pages from the global pool as needed. Even if the global pool contains a sufficient number pages for the filesystem size at mount time, those global pages could be grabbed for some other use. As a result, filesystem huge page allocations may fail due to lack of pages. Applications such as a database want to use huge pages for performance reasons. hugetlbfs filesystem semantics with ownership and modes work well to manage access to a pool of huge pages. However, the application would like some reasonable assurance that allocations will not fail due to a lack of huge pages. At application startup time, the application would like to configure itself to use a specific number of huge pages. Before starting, the application can check to make sure that enough huge pages exist in the system global pools. However, there are no guarantees that those pages will be available when needed by the application. What the application wants is exclusive use of a subset of huge pages. Add a new hugetlbfs mount option 'min_size=<value>' to indicate that the specified number of pages will be available for use by the filesystem. At mount time, this number of huge pages will be reserved for exclusive use of the filesystem. If there is not a sufficient number of free pages, the mount will fail. As pages are allocated to and freeed from the filesystem, the number of reserved pages is adjusted so that the specified minimum is maintained. This patch (of 4): Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum number of huge pages to always be used by this subpool. This minimum count includes allocated pages as well as reserved pages. If the minimum number of pages for the subpool have not been allocated, pages are reserved up to this minimum. An additional field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of pages reserved to meet this minimum size. The hstate pointer in the subpool is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.

* mm, hugetlb: abort __get_user_pages if current has been oom killedDavid Rientjes2015-04-141-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If __get_user_pages() is faulting a significant number of hugetlb pages, usually as the result of mmap(MAP_LOCKED), it can potentially allocate a very large amount of memory. If the process has been oom killed, this will cause a lot of memory to potentially deplete memory reserves. In the same way that commit 4779280d1ea4 ("mm: make get_user_pages() interruptible") aborted for pending SIGKILLs when faulting non-hugetlb memory, based on the premise of commit 462e00cc7151 ("oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is set"), hugetlb page faults now terminate when the process has been oom killed.

The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

* mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()Naoya Horiguchi2015-02-111-14/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock. This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page. This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any architectures or configurations. This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to properly handle the returned tail pages. We could have a choice to add the similar locking to follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it for future development.

* mm/hugetlb: pmd_huge() returns true for non-present hugepageNaoya Horiguchi2015-02-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Migrating hugepages and hwpoisoned hugepages are considered as non-present hugepages, and they are referenced via migration entries and hwpoison entries in their page table slots. This behavior causes race condition because pmd_huge() doesn't tell non-huge pages from migrating/hwpoisoned hugepages. follow_page_mask() is one example where the kernel would call follow_page_pte() for such hugepage while this function is supposed to handle only normal pages. To avoid this, this patch makes pmd_huge() return true when pmd_none() is true *and* pmd_present() is false. We don't have to worry about mixing up non-present pmd entry with normal pmd (pointing to leaf level pte entry) because pmd_present() is true in normal pmd. The same race condition could happen in (x86-specific) gup_pmd_range(), where this patch simply adds pmd_present() check instead of pmd_huge(). This is because gup_pmd_range() is fast path. If we have non-present hugepage in this function, we will go into gup_huge_pmd(), then return 0 at flag mask check, and finally fall back to the slow path.

* mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_*Naoya Horiguchi2015-02-111-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols (regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement arch-specific code only when the arch needs it. For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as default. As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is. So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation. In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code. One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it. Justification of non-trivial changes: - in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.) - in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because they are identical in both archs. In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20. In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags. If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to do. Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d8227 ("cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers think before using the function. However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these precautions are no longer necessary. So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe1 ("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages. If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages aren't anonymous while they also be user pages. We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(), so we need the start address of free_huge_page(): int PageHuge(struct page *page) { if (!PageCompound(page)) return 0; page = compound_head(page); return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page; } For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public to export it to VMCOREINFO.

* hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtimeLuiz Capitulino2014-06-041-11/+155
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than MAX_ORDER order. This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the buddy allocator. Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime. However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems. First, it doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed. This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic pages during runtime. It works just like regular sized hugepages, meaning that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and gigantic pages can be freed. For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do: # echo 2 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages And to free them all: # echo 0 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it can't be serviced by the buddy allocator. To overcome that problem, this commit scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough contiguous region. When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that is, we call alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation. For example, on x86_64 we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous region. When one is found, it's allocated by alloc_contig_range(). One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by. The best way to avoid this for now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system boot, say from a init script. Other possible optimization include using compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this commit. It's also important to note the following: 1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line option can be freed at runtime just fine 2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs. The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add support to different archs 3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating a gigantic page on demand when /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple to add this if wanted [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

This means that hugepages allocation during runtime is limited to MAX_ORDER order. For archs supporting gigantic pages (that is, page sizes greater than MAX_ORDER), this in turn means that those pages can't be allocated at runtime. HugeTLB supports gigantic page allocation during boottime, via the boot allocator. To this end the kernel provides the command-line options hugepagesz= and hugepages=, which can be used to instruct the kernel to allocate N gigantic pages during boot. For example, x86_64 supports 2M and 1G hugepages, but only 2M hugepages can be allocated and freed at runtime. If one wants to allocate 1G gigantic pages, this has to be done at boot via the hugepagesz= and hugepages= command-line options. Now, gigantic page allocation at boottime has two serious problems: 1. Boottime allocation is not NUMA aware. On a NUMA machine the kernel evenly distributes boottime allocated hugepages among nodes. For example, suppose you have a four-node NUMA machine and want to allocate four 1G gigantic pages at boottime. The kernel will allocate one gigantic page per node. On the other hand, we do have users who want to be able to specify which NUMA node gigantic pages should allocated from. So that they can place virtual machines on a specific NUMA node. 2. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed At this point it's important to observe that regular hugepages allocated at runtime don't have those problems. This is so because HugeTLB interface for runtime allocation in sysfs supports NUMA and runtime allocated pages can be freed just fine via the buddy allocator. This series adds support for allocating gigantic pages at runtime. It does so by allocating gigantic pages via CMA instead of the buddy allocator. Releasing gigantic pages is also supported via CMA. As this series builds on top of the existing HugeTLB interface, it makes gigantic page allocation and releasing just like regular sized hugepages. This also means that NUMA support just works. For example, to allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do: # echo 2 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages And, to release all gigantic pages on the same node: # echo 0 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages Please, refer to patch 5/5 for full technical details. Finally, please note that this series is a follow up for a previous series that tried to extend the command-line options set to be NUMA aware: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139593335312191&w=2 During the discussion of that series it was agreed that having runtime allocation support for gigantic pages was a better solution. This patch (of 5): This function is going to be used by non-init code in a future commit.
