2016-01-14mm: allow GFP_{FS,IO} for page_cache_read page cache allocationMichal Hocko2-5/+21
page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to allocate a new page. This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is called from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault. This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally. ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim. There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used. The GFP_NOFS protection might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure is propagated up the page fault path and end up in pagefault_out_of_memory. We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different allocation context. Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO) because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have to respect those.

2016-01-14mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLRDaniel Cashman1-0/+12
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for fragmentation. The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values, which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for offset generation on a system. The direct motivation for this change was in response to the libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to information provided by Google's project zero at: http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack. Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded 8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more likely to be noticed. The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the user-space accessible virtual address space. When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location, which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced, preventing very large allocations. This patch (of 4): ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place the trade-off.

The following flag comparison in mmap_region makes no sense: if (!(vm_flags & MAP_FIXED)) return -ENOMEM; The condition is always false and thus the above "return -ENOMEM" is never executed. The vm_flags must not be compared with MAP_FIXED flag. The vm_flags may only be compared with VM_* flags. MAP_FIXED has the same value as VM_MAYREAD. Hitting the rlimit is a slow path and find_vma_intersection should realize that there is no overlapping VMA for !MAP_FIXED case pretty quickly.

2016-01-14mm, vmscan: consider isolated pages in zone_reclaimable_pagesMichal Hocko1-2/+4
zone_reclaimable_pages counts how many pages are reclaimable in the given zone. This currently includes all pages on file lrus and anon lrus if there is an available swap storage. We do not consider NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} counters though which is not correct because these counters reflect temporarily isolated pages which are still reclaimable because they either get back to their LRU or get freed either by the page reclaim or page migration. The number of these pages might be sufficiently high to confuse users of zone_reclaimable_pages (e.g. mbind can migrate large ranges of memory at once).

2016-01-14memcg: do not allow to disable tcp accounting after limit is setVladimir Davydov1-1/+1
There are two bits defined for cg_proto->flags - MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVATED and MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVE - both are set in tcp_update_limit, but the former is never cleared while the latter can be cleared by unsetting the limit. This allows to disable tcp socket accounting for new sockets after it was enabled by writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes while still guaranteeing that memcg_socket_limit_enabled static key will be decremented on memcg destruction. This functionality looks dubious, because it is not clear what a use case would be. By enabling tcp accounting a user accepts the price. If they then find the performance degradation unacceptable, they can always restart their workload with tcp accounting disabled. It does not seem there is any need to flip it while the workload is running. Besides, it contradicts to how kmem accounting API works: writing whatever to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes enables kmem accounting for the cgroup in question, after which it cannot be disabled. Therefore one might expect that writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes just enables socket accounting w/o limiting it, which might be useful by itself, but it isn't true. Since this API peculiarity is not documented anywhere, I propose to drop it. This will allow to simplify the code by dropping cg_proto->flags.

2016-01-14vmscan: do not force-scan file lru if its absolute size is smallVladimir Davydov1-3/+9
We assume there is enough inactive page cache if the size of inactive file lru is greater than the size of active file lru, in which case we force-scan file lru ignoring anonymous pages. While this logic works fine when there are plenty of page cache pages, it fails if the size of file lru is small (several MB): in this case (lru_size >> prio) will be 0 for normal scan priorities, as a result, if inactive file lru happens to be larger than active file lru, anonymous pages of a cgroup will never get evicted unless the system experiences severe memory pressure, even if there are gigabytes of unused anonymous memory there, which is unfair in respect to other cgroups, whose workloads might be page cache oriented. This patch attempts to fix this by elaborating the "enough inactive page cache" check: it makes it not only check that inactive lru size > active lru size, but also that we will scan something from the cgroup at the current scan priority. If these conditions do not hold, we proceed to SCAN_FRACT as usual.

2016-01-14mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accountingJerome Marchand3-31/+16
Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory use is quite different. The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with regular files. As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces, this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES. The next patch will expose it to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was used before. The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

2016-01-14mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappingsVlastimil Babka1-27/+38
Following the previous patch, further reduction of /proc/pid/smaps cost is possible for private writable shmem mappings with unpopulated areas where the page walk invokes the .pte_hole function. We can use radix tree iterator for each such area instead of calling find_get_entry() in a loop. This is possible at the extra maintenance cost of introducing another shmem function shmem_partial_swap_usage(). To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that creates a private writable 2GB mapping of a partially swapped out /dev/shm/file (which cannot employ the optimizations from the prvious patch) and doesn't populate it at all. I time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Before this patch: real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s After this patch: real 0m1.176s user 0m0.180s sys 0m0.684s The time is similar to the case where a radix tree iterator is employed on the whole mapping.

2016-01-14mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for shmem mappingsVlastimil Babka1-0/+70
The previous patch has improved swap accounting for shmem mapping, which however made /proc/pid/smaps more expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). We can reduce this significantly for mappings that cannot contain COWed pages, because then we can either use the statistics tha shmem object itself tracks (if the mapping contains the whole object, or the swap usage of the whole object is zero), or use the radix tree iterator, which is much more effective than repeated find_get_entry() calls. This patch therefore introduces a function shmem_swap_usage(vma) and makes /proc/pid/smaps use it when possible. Only for writable private mappings of shmem objects (i.e. tmpfs files) with the shmem object itself (partially) swapped outwe have to resort to the find_get_entry() approach. Hopefully such mappings are relatively uncommon. To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Private writable mapping of a /dev/shm/file (the most complex case): real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s Shared mapping of an almost full mapping of a partially swapped /dev/shm/file (which needs to employ the radix tree iterator). real 0m1.351s user 0m0.096s sys 0m0.768s Same, but with /dev/shm/file not swapped (so no radix tree walk needed) real 0m0.935s user 0m0.128s sys 0m0.344s Private anonymous mapping: real 0m0.949s user 0m0.116s sys 0m0.348s The cost is now much closer to the private anonymous mapping case, unless the shmem mapping is private and writable.

2016-01-14mm/page_alloc.c: do not loop over ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS without triggering reclaimMichal Hocko1-14/+18
__alloc_pages_slowpath is looping over ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS requests if __GFP_NOFAIL is requested. This is fragile because we are basically relying on somebody else to make the reclaim (be it the direct reclaim or OOM killer) for us. The caller might be holding resources (e.g. locks) which block other other reclaimers from making any progress for example. Remove the retry loop and rely on __alloc_pages_slowpath to invoke all allowed reclaim steps and retry logic. We have to be careful about __GFP_NOFAIL allocations from the PF_MEMALLOC context even though this is a very bad idea to begin with because no progress can be gurateed at all. We shouldn't break the __GFP_NOFAIL semantic here though. It could be argued that this is essentially GFP_NOWAIT context which we do not support but PF_MEMALLOC is much harder to check for existing users because they might happen deep down the code path performed much later after setting the flag so we cannot really rule out there is no kernel path triggering this combination.

2016-01-14mm/cma: always check which page caused allocation failureJoonsoo Kim1-3/+20
Now, we have tracepoint in test_pages_isolated() to notify pfn which cannot be isolated. But, in alloc_contig_range(), some error path doesn't call test_pages_isolated() so it's still hard to know exact pfn that causes allocation failure. This patch change this situation by calling test_pages_isolated() in almost error path. In allocation failure case, some overhead is added by this change, but, allocation failure is really rare event so it would not matter. In fatal signal pending case, we don't call test_pages_isolated() because this failure is intentional one. There was a bogus outer_start problem due to unchecked buddy order and this patch also fix it. Before this patch, it didn't matter, because end result is same thing.

2016-01-14mm/mempolicy.c: convert the shared_policy lock to a rwlockNathan Zimmer1-13/+17
When running the SPECint_rate gcc on some very large boxes it was noticed that the system was spending lots of time in mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The gamess benchmark can also show it and is what I mostly used to chase down the issue since the setup for that I found to be easier. To be clear the binaries were on tmpfs because of disk I/O requirements. We then used text replication to avoid icache misses and having all the copies banging on the memory where the instruction code resides. This results in us hitting a bottleneck in mpol_shared_policy_lookup() since lookup is serialised by the shared_policy lock. I have only reproduced this on very large (3k+ cores) boxes. The problem starts showing up at just a few hundred ranks getting worse until it threatens to livelock once it gets large enough. For example on the gamess benchmark at 128 ranks this area consumes only ~1% of time, at 512 ranks it consumes nearly 13%, and at 2k ranks it is over 90%. To alleviate the contention in this area I converted the spinlock to an rwlock. This allows a large number of lookups to happen simultaneously.

2016-01-14kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcgVladimir Davydov3-4/+6
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

2016-01-14slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flagVladimir Davydov4-4/+14
Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache, we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is inconvenient. This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed. This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it will be done later in the series. Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags. Thus using this flag will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting is not used (only compiled in).

2016-01-14memcg: only account kmem allocations marked as __GFP_ACCOUNTVladimir Davydov1-1/+2
Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be. Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches. So this patch switches kmem accounting to the white-policy: now only those kmem allocations that are marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT are accounted to memcg. Currently, no kmem allocations are marked like this. The following patches will mark several kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace and therefore should be accounted to memcg.

The new vma has a new pfnmap to the same pfn & cache type with VM_PAT set. Therefore, we only need to clear VM_PAT from the old vma in this case. Add untrack_pfn_moved(), which clears VM_PAT from a given old vma. move_vma() is changed to call this function with the old vma when VM_PFNMAP is set. move_vma() then calls do_munmap(), and untrack_pfn() is a no-op since VM_PAT is cleared.

2015-12-29mm/vmstat: fix overflow in mod_zone_page_state()Heiko Carstens1-5/+5
mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct zone's vm_stat field. If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages); in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative value. Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type. This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop. This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state(). Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway. Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

2015-12-29mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in test_pages_in_a_zone()Andrew Banman1-12/+19
test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing sections in the given pfn range. pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops. Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code. This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing sections. Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch '[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.

2015-12-29mm: memcontrol: fix possible memcg leak due to interrupted reclaimVladimir Davydov1-14/+46
Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break() once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup. If the target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the reference held by the iterator. The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command sequence in a loop: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs memhog 150M echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs rmdir test The cgroups generated by it will never get freed. This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking reference to the current position. In order not to hit use-after-free bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it. This callback is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't go away under us.

2015-12-18mm/zswap: change incorrect strncmp use to strcmpDan Streetman1-3/+3
Change the use of strncmp in zswap_pool_find_get() to strcmp. The use of strncmp is no longer correct, now that zswap_zpool_type is not an array; sizeof() will return the size of a pointer, which isn't the right length to compare. We don't need to use strncmp anyway, because the existing params and the passed in params are all guaranteed to be null terminated, so strcmp should be used.
