mm: filemap: update find_get_pages_tag() to deal with shadow entries

2016-11-28T21:22:46Z

commit 139b6a6fb1539e04b01663d61baff3088c63dbb5 upstream. Dave Jones reports the following crash when find_get_pages_tag() runs into an exceptional entry: kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1347! RIP: find_get_pages_tag+0x1cb/0x220 Call Trace: find_get_pages_tag+0x36/0x220 pagevec_lookup_tag+0x21/0x30 filemap_fdatawait_range+0xbe/0x1e0 filemap_fdatawait+0x27/0x30 sync_inodes_sb+0x204/0x2a0 sync_inodes_one_sb+0x19/0x20 iterate_supers+0xb2/0x110 sys_sync+0x44/0xb0 ia32_do_call+0x13/0x13 1343 /* 1344 * This function is never used on a shmem/tmpfs 1345 * mapping, so a swap entry won't be found here. 1346 */ 1347 BUG(); After commit 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of recently evicted pages. However, as Hugh Dickins notes, "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry. I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before." And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read in chunks, one radix tree node at a time. There is plenty of time for page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up as tagged with a shadow entry. Remove the BUG() and update the comment. While reviewing all other lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

mm: Remove false WARN_ON from pagecache_isize_extended()

2014-11-13T18:03:02Z

commit f55fefd1a5a339b1bd08c120b93312d6eb64a9fb upstream. The WARN_ON checking whether i_mutex is held in pagecache_isize_extended() was wrong because some filesystems (e.g. XFS) use different locks for serialization of truncates / writes. So just remove the check. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped data

2014-11-13T18:02:11Z

commit 90a8020278c1598fafd071736a0846b38510309c upstream. ->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than silently discarding data later when writepage is called. However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic: ftruncate(fd, 0); pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0); map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); map[0] = 'a'; ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */ mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0); map[4095] = 'a'; ----> no page_mkwrite() called At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at ->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we don't have block allocated for it. This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have ->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees

2014-09-26T09:51:58Z

commit 0cd6144aadd2afd19d1aca880153530c52957604 upstream. shmem mappings already contain exceptional entries where swap slot information is remembered. To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other than pages. The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return NULL for page cache holes, just as before. But provide a raw version of the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to use it.

mm: teach truncate_inode_pages_range() to handle non page aligned ranges

2013-05-28T03:32:35Z

This commit changes truncate_inode_pages_range() so it can handle non page aligned regions of the truncate. Currently we can hit BUG_ON when the end of the range is not page aligned, but we can handle unaligned start of the range. Being able to handle non page aligned regions of the page can help file system punch_hole implementations and save some work, because once we're holding the page we might as well deal with it right away. In previous commits we've changed ->invalidatepage() prototype to accept 'length' argument to be able to specify range to invalidate. No we can use that new ability in truncate_inode_pages_range().

mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length

2013-05-22T03:17:23Z

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()

2012-10-09T07:22:56Z

We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still mishandled: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include int main(void) { char *map; int fd; system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat"); fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR); unlink("chigurh"); ftruncate(fd, 4096); map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); map[0] = 11; mlock(map, sizeof(fd)); ftruncate(fd, 0); close(fd); munlock(map, sizeof(fd)); munmap(map, 4096); system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat"); return 0; } The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to look out for them there in page_remove_rmap(). Indeed, why should truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing from pagecache? mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

mm: fix invalidate_complete_page2() lock ordering

2012-10-09T07:22:55Z

In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock: invalidate_inode_pages2 invalidate_complete_page2 spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock) clear_page_mlock isolate_lru_page spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock) isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally: invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock. Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree. I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again) under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.
