2016-12-14Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)Linus Torvalds1-425/+434
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: - a few misc things - kexec updates - DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations - IPC updates - various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling - lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for 4.11. * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (114 commits) radix tree test suite: delete unused rcupdate.c radix tree test suite: add new tag check radix-tree: ensure counts are initialised radix tree test suite: cache recently freed objects radix tree test suite: add some more functionality idr: reduce the number of bits per level from 8 to 6 rxrpc: abstract away knowledge of IDR internals tpm: use idr_find(), not idr_find_slowpath() idr: add ida_is_empty radix tree test suite: check multiorder iteration radix-tree: fix replacement for multiorder entries radix-tree: add radix_tree_split_preload() radix-tree: add radix_tree_split radix-tree: add radix_tree_join radix-tree: delete radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() radix-tree: delete radix_tree_locate_item() radix-tree: improve multiorder iterators btrfs: fix race in btrfs_free_dummy_fs_info() radix-tree: improve dump output radix-tree: make radix_tree_find_next_bit more useful ...
2016-12-14dax: protect PTE modification on WP fault by radix tree entry lockJan Kara1-1/+1
Currently PTE gets updated in wp_pfn_shared() after dax_pfn_mkwrite() has released corresponding radix tree entry lock. When we want to writeprotect PTE on cache flush, we need PTE modification to happen under radix tree entry lock to ensure consistent updates of PTE and radix tree (standard faults use page lock to ensure this consistency). So move update of PTE bit into dax_pfn_mkwrite().

2016-12-14mm: export follow_pte()Jan Kara1-2/+2
DAX will need to implement its own version of page_check_address(). To avoid duplicating page table walking code, export follow_pte() which does what we need.

2016-12-14mm: change return values of finish_mkwrite_fault()Jan Kara1-4/+3
Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying the PTE. This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success. Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when PTE changed. Practically, there should be no behavioral difference since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE. Also note that VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only. Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well defined and we should probably clean that up.

2016-12-14mm: allow full handling of COW faults in ->fault handlersJan Kara1-7/+7
Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5. Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the series! This patch (of 20): To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.

2016-12-14mm: join struct fault_env and vm_faultJan Kara1-282/+286
Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

2016-12-14mm: add locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote()Lorenzo Stoakes1-1/+1
Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()". This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please. It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality. This is necessary as the invocation of __get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do so. Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced with the appropriate higher-level replacement - get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.) This patch (of 2): Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked(). Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*() functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().

Now that we check for page size change early in the loop, we can partially revert e9d55e157034a ("mm: change the interface for __tlb_remove_page"). This simplies the code much, by removing the need to track the last address with which we adjusted the range. We also go back to the older way of filling the mmu_gather array, ie, we add an entry and then check whether the gather batch is full.

2016-12-12mm: add tlb_remove_check_page_size_change to track page size changeAneesh Kumar K.V1-1/+6
With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop. We did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove. We can improve that by moving the page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page. This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering dax mapping. Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush on page size change. Moving the page size change check earlier means we will do the same even for dax mapping. We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc. In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

2016-12-12mm, thp: avoid unlikely branches for split_huge_pmdDavid Rientjes1-2/+2
While doing MADV_DONTNEED on a large area of thp memory, I noticed we encountered many unlikely() branches in profiles for each backing hugepage. This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(), which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part of an unlikely() branch. Avoid the unlikely() branch when in a context where pmd is known to be good for __split_huge_pmd() directly.

2016-11-22ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mmEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux.

2016-11-10lkdtm: Do not use flush_icache_range() on user addressesCatalin Marinas1-0/+1
The flush_icache_range() API is meant to be used on kernel addresses only as it may not have the infrastructure (exception entries) to handle user memory faults. The lkdtm execute_user_location() function tests the kernel execution of user space addresses by mmap'ing an anonymous page, copying some code together with cache maintenance and attempting to run it. However, the cache maintenance step may fail because of the incorrect API usage described above. The patch changes lkdtm to use access_process_vm() for copying the code into user space which would take care of the necessary cache maintenance.

2016-10-07mm: make sure that kthreads will not refault oom reaped memoryMichal Hocko1-0/+13
There are only few use_mm() users in the kernel right now. Most of them write to the target memory but vhost driver relies on copy_from_user/get_user from a kernel thread context. This makes it impossible to reap the memory of an oom victim which shares the mm with the vhost kernel thread because it could see a zero page unexpectedly and theoretically make an incorrect decision visible outside of the killed task context. To quote Michael S. Tsirkin: : Getting an error from __get_user and friends is handled gracefully. : Getting zero instead of a real value will cause userspace : memory corruption. The vhost kernel thread is bound to an open fd of the vhost device which is not tight to the mm owner life cycle in general. The device fd can be inherited or passed over to another process which means that we really have to be careful about unexpected memory corruption because unlike for normal oom victims the result will be visible outside of the oom victim context. Make sure that no kthread context (users of use_mm) can ever see corrupted data because of the oom reaper and hook into the page fault path by checking MMF_UNSTABLE mm flag. __oom_reap_task_mm will set the flag before it starts unmapping the address space while the flag is checked after the page fault has been handled. If the flag is set then SIGBUS is triggered so any g-u-p user will get a error code. Regular tasks do not need this protection because all which share the mm are killed when the mm is reaped and so the corruption will not outlive them. This patch shouldn't have any visible effect at this moment because the OOM killer doesn't invoke oom reaper for tasks with mm shared with kthreads yet.

2016-09-25mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancingLorenzo Stoakes1-5/+7
The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault. User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called. However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and __get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory region. A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set. This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some simple repro code. There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page() added at commit c0e7cad to avoid accidentally provoking strange behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in fact PROT_NONE. The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro. This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

2016-09-13sched/numa, mm: Revert to checking pmd/pte_write instead of VMA flagsRik van Riel1-1/+1
Commit: 4d9424669946 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") changed NUMA balancing from _PAGE_NUMA to using PROT_NONE, and was quickly found to introduce a regression with NUMA grouping. It was followed up by these commits: 53da3bc2ba9e ("mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic") bea66fbd11af ("mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags") b191f9b106ea ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault") The first of those two commits try alternate approaches to NUMA grouping, which apparently do not work as well as looking at the PTE write permissions. The latter patch preserves the PTE write permissions across a NUMA protection fault. However, it forgets to revert the condition for whether or not to group tasks together back to what it was before v3.19, even though the information is now preserved in the page tables once again. This patch brings the NUMA grouping heuristic back to what it was before commit 4d9424669946, which the changelogs of subsequent commits suggest worked best. We have all the information again. We should probably use it.

2016-08-02mm: move swap-in anonymous page into active listMinchan Kim1-0/+1
Every swap-in anonymous page starts from inactive lru list's head. It should be activated unconditionally when VM decide to reclaim because page table entry for the page always usually has marked accessed bit. Thus, their window size for getting a new referece is 2 * NR_inactive + NR_active while others is NR_inactive + NR_active. It's not fair that it has more chance to be referenced compared to other newly allocated page which starts from active lru list's head. Johannes: : The page can still have a valid copy on the swap device, so prefering to : reclaim that page over a fresh one could make sense. But as you point : out, having it start inactive instead of active actually ends up giving it : *more* LRU time, and that seems to be without justification. Rik: : The reason newly read in swap cache pages start on the inactive list is : that we do some amount of read-around, and do not know which pages will : get used. : : However, immediately activating the ones that DO get used, like your patch : does, is the right thing to do.

Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP. This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case, lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what pages happened to be allocated. - no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as huge if VMA is suitable; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466021202-61880-30-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

The idea (and most of code) is borrowed again: from Hugh's patchset on huge tmpfs[1]. Instead of allocation pte page table upfront, we postpone this until we have page to map in hands. This approach opens possibility to map the page as huge if filesystem supports this. Comparing to Hugh's patch I've pushed page table allocation a bit further: into do_set_pte(). This way we can postpone allocation even in faultaround case without moving do_fault_around() after __do_fault(). do_set_pte() got renamed to alloc_set_pte() as it can allocate page table if required.

This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate. When khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages in swap area. With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 400B of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each 20 pages of the area. Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead. THP rate was %65 of the program of the memory, it did not change over time. With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99 of the program's memory.
