mm, numa: fix bad pmd by atomically check for pmd_trans_huge when marking page tables prot_numa

2020-03-12T06:18:32Z

commit 8b272b3cbbb50a6a8e62d8a15affd473a788e184 upstream. : A user reported a bug against a distribution kernel while running a : proprietary workload described as "memory intensive that is not swapping" : that is expected to apply to mainline kernels. The workload is : read/write/modifying ranges of memory and checking the contents. They : reported that within a few hours that a bad PMD would be reported followed : by a memory corruption where expected data was all zeros. A partial : report of the bad PMD looked like : : [ 5195.338482] ../mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8888157ba008(000002e0396009e2) : [ 5195.341184] ------------[ cut here ]------------ : [ 5195.356880] kernel BUG at ../mm/pgtable-generic.c:35! : .... : [ 5195.410033] Call Trace: : [ 5195.410471] [] change_protection_range+0x7dd/0x930 : [ 5195.410716] [] change_prot_numa+0x18/0x30 : [ 5195.410918] [] task_numa_work+0x1fe/0x310 : [ 5195.411200] [] task_work_run+0x72/0x90 : [ 5195.411246] [] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x91/0xc2 : [ 5195.411494] [] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x31/0x40 : [ 5195.411739] [] retint_user+0x8/0x10 : : Decoding revealed that the PMD was a valid prot_numa PMD and the bad PMD : was a false detection. The bug does not trigger if automatic NUMA : balancing or transparent huge pages is disabled. : : The bug is due a race in change_pmd_range between a pmd_trans_huge and : pmd_nond_or_clear_bad check without any locks held. During the : pmd_trans_huge check, a parallel protection update under lock can have : cleared the PMD and filled it with a prot_numa entry between the transhuge : check and the pmd_none_or_clear_bad check. : : While this could be fixed with heavy locking, it's only necessary to make : a copy of the PMD on the stack during change_pmd_range and avoid races. A : new helper is created for this as the check if quite subtle and the : existing similar helpful is not suitable. This passed 154 hours of : testing (usually triggers between 20 minutes and 24 hours) without : detecting bad PMDs or corruption. A basic test of an autonuma-intensive : workload showed no significant change in behaviour. Although Mel withdrew the patch on the face of LKML comment https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/10/922 the race window aforementioned is still open, and we have reports of Linpack test reporting bad residuals after the bad PMD warning is observed. In addition to that, bad rss-counter and non-zero pgtables assertions are triggered on mm teardown for the task hitting the bad PMD. host kernel: mm/pgtable-generic.c:40: bad pmd 00000000b3152f68(8000000d2d2008e7) .... host kernel: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:00000000b583043d idx:1 val:512 host kernel: BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 4096 The issue is observed on a v4.18-based distribution kernel, but the race window is expected to be applicable to mainline kernels, as well.

autonuma: reduce cache footprint when scanning page tables

2019-12-01T20:59:09Z

In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state already. So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary too. So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of NUMA balancing page table scanning. In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20 read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97% (that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.

mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls

2019-09-26T00:51:41Z

This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments. This patch allows tagged pointers to be passed to the following memory syscalls: get_mempolicy, madvise, mbind, mincore, mlock, mlock2, mprotect, mremap, msync, munlock, move_pages. The mmap and mremap syscalls do not currently accept tagged addresses. Architectures may interpret the tag as a background colour for the corresponding vma.

pagewalk: separate function pointers from iterator data

2019-09-07T07:28:04Z

The mm_walk structure currently mixed data and code. Split out the operations vectors into a new mm_walk_ops structure, and while we are changing the API also declare the mm_walk structure inside the walk_page_range and walk_page_vma functions.

mm/mprotect.c: fix compilation warning because of unused 'mm' variable

2019-05-14T16:47:51Z

Since 0cbe3e26abe0 ("mm: update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take vm_area_struct as arg") the only place that uses the local 'mm' variable in change_pte_range() is the call to set_pte_at(). Many architectures define set_pte_at() as macro that does not use the 'mm' parameter, which generates the following compilation warning: CC mm/mprotect.o mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range': mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable] struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm; ^~ Fix it by passing vma->mm to set_pte_at() and dropping the local 'mm' variable in change_pte_range().

mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidation

2019-05-14T16:47:49Z

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening. This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to inspect the new vma page protection. The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier should assume that every for the range is going away when that event happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate events for each call. This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy as it uses this following coccinelle patch: %<---------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ identifier I1, I2, I3, I4; @@ static inline void mmu_notifier_range_init(struct mmu_notifier_range *I1, +enum mmu_notifier_event event, +unsigned flags, +struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct mm_struct *I2, unsigned long I3, unsigned long I4) { ... } @@ @@ -#define mmu_notifier_range_init(range, mm, start, end) +#define mmu_notifier_range_init(range, event, flags, vma, mm, start, end) @@ expression E1, E3, E4; identifier I1; @@ <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, I1, I1->vm_mm, E3, E4) ...> @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN, VMA; @@ FN(..., struct vm_area_struct *VMA, ...) { <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, VMA, E2, E3, E4) ...> } @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN, VMA; @@ FN(...) { struct vm_area_struct *VMA; <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, VMA, E2, E3, E4) ...> } @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN; @@ FN(...) { <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, NULL, E2, E3, E4) ...> } ---------------------------------------------------------------------->% Applied with: spatch --all-includes --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch fs/proc/task_mmu.c --in-place spatch --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch --dir kernel/events/ --in-place spatch --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch --dir mm --in-place Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190326164747.24405-6-jglisse@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jérôme Glisse Reviewed-by: Ralph Campbell Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny Cc: Christian König Cc: Joonas Lahtinen Cc: Jani Nikula Cc: Rodrigo Vivi Cc: Jan Kara Cc: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Peter Xu Cc: Felix Kuehling Cc: Jason Gunthorpe Cc: Ross Zwisler Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Paolo Bonzini Cc: Radim Krcmar Cc: Michal Hocko Cc: Christian Koenig Cc: John Hubbard Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Patch series "NestMMU pte upgrade workaround for mprotect", v5. We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect. We need to make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in commit bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to handle nest MMU hang") for such updates. This patch series does that. This patch (of 5): Some architectures may want to call flush_tlb_range from these helpers.
