vfs/xattr: mm/shmem: kernfs: release simple xattr entry in a right way

2020-07-29T08:19:58Z

commit 3bef735ad7b7d987069181e7b58588043cbd1509 upstream. After commit fdc85222d58e ("kernfs: kvmalloc xattr value instead of kmalloc"), simple xattr entry is allocated with kvmalloc() instead of kmalloc(), so we should release it with kvfree() instead of kfree().

shmem: fix possible deadlocks on shmlock_user_lock

2020-04-21T18:11:56Z

Recent commit 71725ed10c40 ("mm: huge tmpfs: try to split_huge_page() when punching hole") has allowed syzkaller to probe deeper, uncovering a long-standing lockdep issue between the irq-unsafe shmlock_user_lock, the irq-safe xa_lock on mapping->i_pages, and shmem inode's info->lock which nests inside xa_lock (or tree_lock) since 4.8's shmem_uncharge(). user_shm_lock(), servicing SysV shmctl(SHM_LOCK), wants shmlock_user_lock while its caller shmem_lock() holds info->lock with interrupts disabled; but hugetlbfs_file_setup() calls user_shm_lock() with interrupts enabled, and might be interrupted by a writeback endio wanting xa_lock on i_pages. This may not risk an actual deadlock, since shmem inodes do not take part in writeback accounting, but there are several easy ways to avoid it. Requiring interrupts disabled for shmlock_user_lock would be easy, but it's a high-level global lock for which that seems inappropriate. Instead, recall that the use of info->lock to guard info->flags in shmem_lock() dates from pre-3.1 days, when races with SHMEM_PAGEIN and SHMEM_TRUNCATE could occur: nowadays it serves no purpose, the only flag added or removed is VM_LOCKED itself, and calls to shmem_lock() an inode are already serialized by the caller. Take info->lock out of the chain and the possibility of deadlock or lockdep warning goes away.

mm: huge tmpfs: try to split_huge_page() when punching hole

2020-04-07T17:43:41Z

Yang Shi writes: Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP (start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP. Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the THP may still be kept in page cache. This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP still stays in page cache.) Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes. Hugh Dickins adds: Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page. That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky. But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any problem from that. Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed. But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack; but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping() and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec speedup by checking for compound pages there.

mm/shmem.c: distribute switch variables for initialization

2020-04-07T17:43:41Z

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization (via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase, so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of direct initializations, the warnings remain. To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where they're used or lift them up into the main function body. mm/shmem.c: In function `shmem_getpage_gfp': mm/shmem.c:1816:10: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable] 1816 | loff_t i_size; | ^~~~~~ [1] https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44916 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Alexander Potapenko Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200220062312.69165-1-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Commit e496cf3d7821 ("thp: introduce CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE") notes that it should be reverted when the PowerPC problem was fixed. The commit fixing the PowerPC problem (953c66c2b22a) did not revert the commit; instead setting CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE to the same as CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. Checking with Kirill and Aneesh, this was an oversight, so remove the Kconfig symbol and undo the work of commit e496cf3d7821.

mm, thp: track fallbacks due to failed memcg charges separately

2020-04-07T17:43:38Z

The thp_fault_fallback and thp_file_fallback vmstats are incremented if either the hugepage allocation fails through the page allocator or the hugepage charge fails through mem cgroup. This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields, thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem cgroup charge fails. This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.
