* hugetlb: fix section mismatchesJeff Mahoney2010-02-021-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate is called by hugetlb_register_node directly during init and also indirectly via sysfs after init. This patch removes the __init tag from hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate.

* mm: flush dcache before writing into page to avoid aliasanfei zhou2010-02-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be: flush_dcache_page(page); kmap_atomic(page); write to page; kunmap_atomic(page); flush_dcache_page(page); More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly. Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is not ARM-specific: int val = 0x11111111; fd = open("abc", O_RDWR); addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); *(addr+0) = 0x44444444; tmp = *(addr+0); *(addr+1) = 0x77777777; write(fd, &val, sizeof(int)); close(fd); The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

* mm: purge fragmented percpu vmap blocksNick Piggin2010-02-021-11/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix.

* mm: percpu-vmap fix RCU list walkingNick Piggin2010-02-021-14/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree).

* mm: fix migratetype bug which slowed swappingHugh Dickins2010-01-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's 5f8dcc21211a3d4e3a7a5ca366b469fb88117f61 "page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves. Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it. How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy. The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim. But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

* mm: add new 'read_cache_page_gfp()' helper functionLinus Torvalds2010-01-271-32/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a simplified 'read_cache_page()' which takes a page allocation flag, so that different paths can control how aggressive the memory allocations are that populate a address space. In particular, the intel GPU object mapping code wants to be able to do a certain amount of own internal memory management by automatically shrinking the address space when memory starts getting tight. This allows it to dynamically use different memory allocation policies on a per-allocation basis, rather than depend on the (static) address space gfp policy. The actual new function is a one-liner, but re-organizing the helper functions to the point where you can do this with a single line of code is what most of the patch is all about.

* vmalloc: remove BUG_ON due to racy counting of VM_LAZY_FREEYongseok Koh2010-01-211-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically. But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative. The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE, increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr. It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush(). Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So, it could go down to negative value temporarily. Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper. A possible BUG_ON message is like the below. kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:517! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP EIP: 0060:[<c04824a4>] EFLAGS: 00010297 CPU: 3 EIP is at __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 EAX: ee8a8818 EBX: c08e77d4 ECX: e7c7ae40 EDX: c08e77ec ESI: 000081fe EDI: e7c7ae60 EBP: e7c7ae64 ESP: e7c7ae3c DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Call Trace: [<c0482ad9>] free_unmap_vmap_area_noflush+0x69/0x70 [<c0482b02>] remove_vm_area+0x22/0x70 [<c0482c15>] __vunmap+0x45/0xe0 [<c04831ec>] vmalloc+0x2c/0x30 Code: 8d 59 e0 eb 04 66 90 89 cb 89 d0 e8 87 fe ff ff 8b 43 20 89 da 8d 48 e0 8d 43 20 3b 04 24 75 e7 fe 05 a8 a5 a3 c0 e9 78 ff ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 90 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 56 89 c6 b8 ac a5 a3 c0 31 EIP: [<c04824a4>] __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 SS:ESP 0068:e7c7ae3c [ See also http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126335856228090&w=2 ] Signed-off-by: Yongseok Koh <yongseok.koh@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problemsDavid Howells2010-01-161-0/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a region that's in use by more than one VMA because: (1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions (eg: file or chardev backed VMAs). (2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle by which to refer to the already existing region. (3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also been split into two regions, each of usage 1.

* memcg: ensure list is empty at rmdirDaisuke Nishimura2010-01-161-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current mem_cgroup_force_empty() only ensures mem->res.usage == 0 on success. But this doesn't guarantee memcg's LRU is really empty, because there are some cases in which !PageCgrupUsed pages exist on memcg's LRU. For example: - Pages can be uncharged by its owner process while they are on LRU. - race between mem_cgroup_add_lru_list() and __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common(). So there can be a case in which the usage is zero but some of the LRUs are not empty. OTOH, mem_cgroup_del_lru_list(), which can be called asynchronously with rmdir, accesses the mem_cgroup, so this access can cause a problem if it races with rmdir because the mem_cgroup might have been freed by rmdir. Actually, I saw a bug which seems to be caused by this race.

The problem here is pages on LRU may contain pointer to stale memcg. To make res->usage to be 0, all pages on memcg must be uncharged or moved to another(parent) memcg. Moved page_cgroup have already removed from original LRU, but uncharged page_cgroup contains pointer to memcg withou PCG_USED bit. (This asynchronous LRU work is for improving performance.) If PCG_USED bit is not set, page_cgroup will never be added to memcg's LRU. So, about pages not on LRU, they never access stale pointer. Then, what we have to take care of is page_cgroup _on_ LRU list. This patch fixes this problem by making mem_cgroup_force_empty() visit all LRUs before exiting its loop and guarantee there are no pages on its LRU.

* NOMMU: Use copy_*_user_page() in access_process_vm()Jie Zhang2010-01-061-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MMU code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm() rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush. This is important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with gdb. So switch the NOMMU code over to do the same. This patch makes the reasonable assumption that copy_from_user_page() won't fail - which is probably fine, as we've checked the VMA from which we're copying is usable, and the copy is not allowed to cross VMAs. The one case where it might go wrong is if the VMA is a device rather than RAM, and that device returns an error which - in which case rubbish will be returned rather than EIO.

* NOMMU: Avoiding duplicate icache flushes of shared mapsMike Frysinger2010-01-061-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it when the map is initially created. The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC. Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the entire region when a bit of it is made executable. However, this also affects the brk area. That will no longer be executable. We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice. The brk area probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is larger than requested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove. Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal for that page range to fail. Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock, and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be implicitly unplugged: if (PageReadahead(page)) page_cache_async_readahead() if (!PageUptodate(page)) goto page_not_up_to_date; //... page_not_up_to_date: lock_page_killable(page); Therefore explicit unplugging can help.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Process based injection is much easier to handle for test programs, who can first bring a page into a specific state and then test.

It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
