2012-07-31mm: hugetlbfs: close race during teardown of hugetlbfs shared page tablesMel Gorman1-1/+1
If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c. This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37. It was probably was introduced in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page]. The messages look like this; [ ..........] Lots of bad pmd messages followed by this [ 127.164256] mm/memory.c:391: bad pmd ffff880412e04fe8(80000003de4000e7).

To reproduce it I was doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM. $ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall $ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits. Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a hard reset or a sysrq-b. The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases, it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important. Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following situation Process A Process B --------- --------- hugetlb_fault shmdt LockWrite(mmap_sem) do_munmap unmap_region unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma unmap_hugepage_range Lock(i_mmap_mutex) Lock(mm->page_table_lock) huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1) Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) huge_pte_alloc ... Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ... vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ... Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ... share spte ... Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ... Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ... hugetlb_no_page <--- (2) free_pgtables unlink_file_vma hugetlb_free_pgd_range remove_vma_list In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above, the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips up on it in free_pgtables. This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function __unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and does not support madvise(DONTNEED). This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged. Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug. ==== CUT HERE ==== static size_t huge_page_size = (2UL << 20); static size_t nr_huge_page_A = 512; static size_t nr_huge_page_B = 5632; unsigned int get_random(unsigned int max) { struct timeval tv; gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); srandom(tv.tv_usec); return random() % max; } static void play(void *addr, size_t size) { unsigned char *start = addr, *end = start + size, *a; start += get_random(size/2); /* we could itterate on huge pages but let's give it more time. */ for (a = start; a < end; a += 4096) *a = 0; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_t key = IPC_PRIVATE; size_t sizeA = nr_huge_page_A * huge_page_size; size_t sizeB = nr_huge_page_B * huge_page_size; int shmidA, shmidB; void *addrA = NULL, *addrB = NULL; int nr_children = 300, n = 0; if ((shmidA = shmget(key, sizeA, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrA = shmat(shmidA, addrA, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } if ((shmidB = shmget(key, sizeB, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrB = shmat(shmidB, addrB, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } fork_child: switch(fork()) { case 0: switch (n%3) { case 0: play(addrA, sizeA); break; case 1: play(addrB, sizeB); break; case 2: break; } break; case -1: perror("fork:"); break; default: if (++n < nr_children) goto fork_child; play(addrA, sizeA); break; } shmdt(addrA); shmdt(addrB); do { wait(NULL); } while (--n > 0); shmctl(shmidA, IPC_RMID, NULL); shmctl(shmidB, IPC_RMID, NULL); return 0; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: name the declaration's args, fix CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=n build] Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-06-27mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gatherAlex Shi1-0/+9
This patch enabled the tlb flush range support in generic mmu layer. Most of arch has self tlb flush range support, like ARM/IA64 etc. X86 arch has no this support in hardware yet. But another instruction 'invlpg' can implement this function in some degree. So, enable this feather in generic layer for x86 now. and maybe useful for other archs in further. Generic mmu_gather struct is protected by micro HAVE_GENERIC_MMU_GATHER. Other archs that has flush range supported own self mmu_gather struct. So, now this change is safe for them. In future we may unify this struct and related functions on multiple archs. Thanks for Peter Zijlstra time and time reminder for multiple architecture code safe!

2012-05-29thp, memcg: split hugepage for memcg oom on cowDavid Rientjes1-3/+15
On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill. Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

2012-05-29mm: remove swap token codeRik van Riel1-1/+1
The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in development, since we have only one swap token globally. It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and inactive anon LRU lists. Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests we no longer have much use for it. The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to implement something that does scale.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar: "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result. This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc() calls without modifying user-space binaries. First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled. If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed within libc (binaries can be specified as well): $ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6 To probe libc's malloc(): $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to look very boring): $ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make [ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712 $ perf report | less 32.03% git libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc 29.49% cc1 libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--0.95%-- 0x208eb1000000000 | |--0.63%-- htab_traverse_noresize 11.04% as libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 7.15% ld libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 5.07% sh libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.99% python-config libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.54% make libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--7.34%-- glob | | | |--93.18%-- 0x41588f | | | --6.82%-- glob | 0x41588f ...

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it.

2012-05-06vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfacesLinus Torvalds1-11/+5
The VM accounting makes no sense at this level, and half of the callers didn't ever actually use the end result. The only time we want to unaccount the memory is when we actually remove the vma, so do the accounting at that point instead. This simplifies the interfaces (no need to pass down that silly page counter to functions that really don't care), and also makes it much more obvious what is actually going on: we do vm_[un]acct_memory() when adding or removing the vma, not on random page walking.

2012-04-14uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmappedSrikar Dronamraju1-0/+3
Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to maintain the uprobes count. In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma(). However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts accounted (in zap_pte_range()). If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe count. This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap() and hence it does not find the breakpoint. This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap(). This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f8e9d ("mm: add rss counters consistency check").

2012-03-23coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron1-7/+1
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

2012-03-21mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read modeAndrea Arcangeli1-4/+12
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd materializing as trans huge. It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a pmd_trans_huge(). Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it will be zapped. Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a pmd_trans_huge()). The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack (regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge, and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained above). All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and pmd_none_or_clear_bad). if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) { if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) { VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem)); split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd); } else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr)) continue; /* fall through */ } if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd)) Because this race condition could be exercised without special privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179. The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it. I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference. ====== start quote ======= mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1 kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384! At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the following is logged on the console: mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7). The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears the page's PMD table entry. 143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd) 144 { -> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd); 146 pmd_clear(pmd); 147 } After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency. 1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) 1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n", 1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page)); -> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)); The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded process.

Memory migration fills a pte with a migration entry and it doesn't update the rss counters. Then it replaces the migration entry with the new page (or the old one if migration failed). But between these two passes this pte can be unmaped, or a task can fork a child and it will get a copy of this migration entry. Nobody accounts for this in the rss counters. This patch properly adjust rss counters for migration entries in zap_pte_range() and copy_one_pte(). Thus we avoid extra atomic operations on the migration fast-path.

This isn't a problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush() under x86 will flush entire TLB. But this is confusion and could be missed if thp is ported to other arch. Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in __tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli.

2011-11-02mm: thp: tail page refcounting fixAndrea Arcangeli1-1/+1
Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn) wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount(). He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero(). So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply account the tail page references there and transfer them to tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the head_page->_mapcount). While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for pmd_trans_huge). The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation and usually only run in I/O paths. This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to work without any further complexity associated to the tail page refcounting with THP.

2011-07-25mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & youngBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-1/+57
I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE, you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell. It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.

2011-07-25mm: preallocate page before lock_page() at filemap COWKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-22/+34
Currently we are keeping faulted page locked throughout whole __do_fault call (except for page_mkwrite code path) after calling file system's fault code. If we do early COW, we allocate a new page which has to be charged for a memcg (mem_cgroup_newpage_charge). This function, however, might block for unbounded amount of time if memcg oom killer is disabled or fork-bomb is running because the only way out of the OOM situation is either an external event or OOM-situation fix. In the end we are keeping the faulted page locked and blocking other processes from faulting it in which is not good at all because we are basically punishing potentially an unrelated process for OOM condition in a different group (I have seen stuck system because of ld-2.11.1.so being locked). We can do test easily. % cgcreate -g memory:A % cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=64M A % cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=64M A % cd kernel_dir; cgexec -g memory:A make -j Then, the whole system will live-locked until you kill 'make -j' by hands (or push reboot...) This is because some important page in a a shared library are locked. Considering again, the new page is not necessary to be allocated with lock_page() held. And usual page allocation may dive into long memory reclaim loop with holding lock_page() and can cause very long latency. There are 3 ways. 1. do allocation/charge before lock_page() Pros. - simple and can handle page allocation in the same manner. This will reduce holding time of lock_page() in general. Cons. - we do page allocation even if ->fault() returns error. 2. do charge after unlock_page(). Even if charge fails, it's just OOM. Pros. - no impact to non-memcg path. Cons. - implemenation requires special cares of LRU and we need to modify page_add_new_anon_rmap()... 3. do unlock->charge->lock again method. Pros. - no impact to non-memcg path. Cons. - This may kill LOCK_PAGE_RETRY optimization. We need to release lock and get it again... This patch moves "charge" and memory allocation for COW page before lock_page(). Then, we can avoid scanning LRU with holding a lock on a page and latency under lock_page() will be reduced. Then, above livelock disappears.

That was commit d16dfc550f53 ("mm: mmu_gather rework"). The code in zap_pte_range() has something that looks like the following: pte = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, addr, &ptl); do { [...] } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end); pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1, ptl); The pte starts off pointing at the first element in the page table directory that was returned by the pte_offset_map_lock(). When it's done with the page, pte will be pointing to anything between the next entry and the first entry of the next page inclusive. By doing a pte - 1, this puts the pte back onto the original page, which is all that pte_unmap_unlock() needs. In most archs (64 bit), this is not an issue as the pte is ignored in the pte_unmap_unlock(). But on 32 bit archs, where things may be kmapped, it is essential that the pte passed to pte_unmap_unlock() resides on the same page that was given by pte_offest_map_lock(). The problem came in d16dfc55 ("mm: mmu_gather rework") where it introduced a "break;" from the while loop. This alone did not seem to easily trigger the bug. But the modifications made by e303297e6 caused that "break;" to be hit on the first iteration, before the pte++. The pte not being incremented will now cause pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1) to be pointing to the previous page. This will cause the wrong page to be unmapped, and also trigger the warning above. The simple solution is to just save the pointer given by pte_offset_map_lock() and use it in the unlock.

2011-05-26memcg: add the pagefault count into memcg statsYing Han1-0/+2
Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page faults and number of major page faults. "pgfault" "pgmajfault" They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/ writing page to disk. It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path. Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in memcg. Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all memcgs and compare with global vmstat value: $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault pgfault 1070751 pgmajfault 553 $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault pgfault 1071138 pgmajfault 553 total_pgfault 1071142 total_pgmajfault 553 $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault pgfault 199 pgmajfault 0 total_pgfault 199 total_pgmajfault 0 Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in 15G anon pages in 16G container.

2011-05-25mm: mmu_gather reworkPeter Zijlstra1-23/+23
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.
