Hwpoison injector checks PageLRU of the raw target page to find out whether the page is an appropriate target, but current code now filters out thp tail pages, which prevents us from testing for such cases via this interface. So let's check hpage instead of p. Signed-off-by:

If multiple soft offline events hit one free page/hugepage concurrently, soft_offline_page() can handle the free page/hugepage multiple times, which makes num_poisoned_pages counter increased more than once. This patch fixes this wrong counting by checking TestSetPageHWPoison for normal papes and by checking the return value of dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() for hugepages. Signed-off-by:

Currently memory_failure() calls shake_page() to sweep pages out from pcplists only when the victim page is 4kB LRU page or thp head page. But we should do this for a thp tail page too. Consider that a memory error hits a thp tail page whose head page is on a pcplist when memory_failure() runs. Then, the current kernel skips shake_pages() part, so hwpoison_user_mappings() returns without calling split_huge_page() nor try_to_unmap() because PageLRU of the thp head is still cleared due to the skip of shake_page(). As a result, me_huge_page() runs for the thp, which is broken behavior. One effect is a leak of the thp. And another is to fail to isolate the memory error, so later access to the error address causes another MCE, which kills the processes which used the thp. This patch fixes this problem by calling shake_page() for thp tail case. Fixes: 385de357 ("thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU") Signed-off-by:

mm/page-writeback.c has several places where 1 is added to the divisor to prevent division by zero exceptions; however, if the original divisor is equivalent to -1, adding 1 leads to division by zero. There are three places where +1 is used for this purpose - one in pos_ratio_polynom() and two in bdi_position_ratio(). The second one in bdi_position_ratio() actually triggered div-by-zero oops on a machine running a 3.10 kernel. The divisor is x_intercept - bdi_setpoint + 1 == span + 1 span is confirmed to be (u32)-1. It isn't clear how it ended up that but it could be from write bandwidth calculation underflow fixed by c72efb65 ("writeback: fix possible underflow in write bandwidth calculation"). At any rate, +1 isn't a proper protection against div-by-zero. This patch converts all +1 protections to |1. Note that bdi_update_dirty_ratelimit() was already using |1 before this patch.

There is no point in overriding the size class below. It causes fatal corruption on the next chunk on the 3264-bytes size class, which is the last size class that is not huge. For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current zsmalloc allocates and returns a chunk from the size class of 3264 bytes, not 4096. User access to this chunk may overwrite head of the next adjacent chunk. Here is the panic log captured when freelist was corrupted due to this: Kernel BUG at ffffffc00030659c [verbose debug info unavailable] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: exynos-snapshot: core register saved(CPU:5) CPUMERRSR: 0000000000000000, L2MERRSR: 0000000000000000 exynos-snapshot: context saved(CPU:5) exynos-snapshot: item - log_kevents is disabled CPU: 5 PID: 898 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.10.61-4497415-eng #1 task: ffffffc0b8783d80 ti: ffffffc0b71e8000 task.ti: ffffffc0b71e8000 PC is at obj_idx_to_offset+0x0/0x1c LR is at obj_malloc+0x44/0xe8 pc : [<ffffffc00030659c>] lr : [<ffffffc000306604>] pstate: a0000045 sp : ffffffc0b71eb790 x29: ffffffc0b71eb790 x28: ffffffc00204c000 x27: 000000000001d96f x26: 0000000000000000 x25: ffffffc098cc3500 x24: ffffffc0a13f2810 x23: ffffffc098cc3501 x22: ffffffc0a13f2800 x21: 000011e1a02006e3 x20: ffffffc0a13f2800 x19: ffffffbc02a7e000 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000feb x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 00000000a01003e3 x13: 0000000000000020 x12: fffffffffffffff0 x11: ffffffc08b264000 x10: 00000000e3a01004 x9 : ffffffc08b263fea x8 : ffffffc0b1e611c0 x7 : ffffffc000307d24 x6 : 0000000000000000 x5 : 0000000000000038 x4 : 000000000000011e x3 : ffffffbc00003e90 x2 : 0000000000000cc0 x1 : 00000000d0100371 x0 : ffffffbc00003e90 Reported-by:Sooyong Suk <s.suk@samsung.com> Signed-off-by:

We store handle on header of each allocated object so it increases the size of each object by sizeof(unsigned long). If zram stores 4096 bytes to zsmalloc(ie, bad compression), zsmalloc needs 4104B-class to add handle. However, 4104B-class has 1-pages_per_zspage so wasted size by internal fragment is 8192 - 4104, which is terrible. So this patch records the handle in page->private on such huge object(ie, pages_per_zspage == 1 && maxobj_per_zspage == 1) instead of header of each object so we could use 4096B-class, not 4104B-class.

Curretly, zsmalloc regards a zspage as ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if the zspage has under 1/4 used objects(ie, fullness_threshold_frac). It could make result in loose packing since zsmalloc migrates only ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY zspage out. This patch changes the rule so that zsmalloc makes zspage which has above 3/4 used object ZS_ALMOST_FULL so it could make tight packing. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion policy is simple as follows. for each size class { while { src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!src_page) break; dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL if (!dst_page) dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!dst_page) break; migrate(from src_page, to dst_page); } } For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie, OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check whether the object is allocated easily. This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and new object.

Recently, we started to use zram heavily and some of issues popped. 1) external fragmentation I got a report from Juneho Choi that fork failed although there are plenty of free pages in the system. His investigation revealed zram is one of the culprit to make heavy fragmentation so there was no more contiguous 16K page for pgd to fork in the ARM. 2) non-movable pages Other problem of zram now is that inherently, user want to use zram as swap in small memory system so they use zRAM with CMA to use memory efficiently. However, unfortunately, it doesn't work well because zRAM cannot use CMA's movable pages unless it doesn't support compaction. I got several reports about that OOM happened with zram although there are lots of swap space and free space in CMA area. 3) internal fragmentation zRAM has started support memory limitation feature to limit memory usage and I sent a patchset(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/21/148 ) for VM to be harmonized with zram-swap to stop anonymous page reclaim if zram consumed memory up to the limit although there are free space on the swap. One problem for that direction is zram has no way to know any hole in memory space zsmalloc allocated by internal fragmentation so zram would regard swap is full although there are free space in zsmalloc. For solving the issue, zram want to trigger compaction of zsmalloc before it decides full or not. This patchset is first step to support above issues. For that, it adds indirect layer between handle and object location and supports manual compaction to solve 3th problem first of all. After this patchset got merged, next step is to make VM aware of zsmalloc compaction so that generic compaction will move zsmalloced-pages automatically in runtime. In my imaginary experiment(ie, high compress ratio data with heavy swap in/out on 8G zram-swap), data is as follows, Before = zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes zram total used: 140103680 bytes ratio: 42.98 percent MemFree: 840192 kB Compaction After = frag ratio after compaction zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes zram total used: 76185600 bytes ratio: 79.03 percent MemFree: 901932 kB Juneho reported below in his real platform with small aging. So, I think the benefit would be bigger in real aging system for a long time. - frag_ratio increased 3% (ie, higher is better) - memfree increased about 6MB - In buddy info, Normal 2^3: 4, 2^2: 1: 2^1 increased, Highmem: 2^1 21 increased frag ratio after swap fragment used : 156677 kbytes total: 166092 kbytes frag_ratio : 94 meminfo before compaction MemFree: 83724 kB Node 0, zone Normal 13642 1364 57 10 61 17 9 5 4 0 0 Node 0, zone HighMem 425 29 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 num_migrated : 23630 compaction done frag ratio after compaction used : 156673 kbytes total: 160564 kbytes frag_ratio : 97 meminfo after compaction MemFree: 89060 kB Node 0, zone Normal 14076 1544 67 14 61 17 9 5 4 0 0 Node 0, zone HighMem 863 50 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This patchset adds more logics(about 480 lines) in zsmalloc but when I tested heavy swapin/out program, the regression for swapin/out speed is marginal because most of overheads were caused by compress/decompress and other MM reclaim stuff. This patch (of 7): Currently, handle of zsmalloc encodes object's location directly so it makes support of migration hard. This patch decouples handle and object via adding indirect layer. For that, it allocates handle dynamically and returns it to user. The handle is the address allocated by slab allocation so it's unique and we could keep object's location in the memory space allocated for handle. With it, we can change object's position without changing handle itself. Signed-off-by:

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return.

We are not safe from calling isolate_huge_page() on a hugepage concurrently, which can make the victim hugepage in invalid state and results in BUG_ON(). The root problem of this is that we don't have any information on struct page (so easily accessible) about hugepages' activeness. Note that hugepages' activeness means just being linked to hstate->hugepage_activelist, which is not the same as normal pages' activeness represented by PageActive flag. Normal pages are isolated by isolate_lru_page() which prechecks PageLRU before isolation, so let's do similarly for hugetlb with a new paeg_huge_active(). set/clear_page_huge_active() should be called within hugetlb_lock. But hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() don't do this, being justified because in these functions set_page_huge_active() is called right after the hugepage is allocated and no other thread tries to isolate it.

Mempools keep elements in a reserved pool for contexts in which allocation may not be possible. When an element is allocated from the reserved pool, its memory contents is the same as when it was added to the reserved pool. Because of this, elements lack any free poisoning to detect use-after-free errors. This patch adds free poisoning for elements backed by the slab allocator. This is possible because the mempool layer knows the object size of each element. When an element is added to the reserved pool, it is poisoned with POISON_FREE. When it is removed from the reserved pool, the contents are checked for POISON_FREE. If there is a mismatch, a warning is emitted to the kernel log. This is only effective for configs with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB or CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.

Commit 38c5ce93 ("mm/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE") converted ACCESS_ONCE usage in gup_pmd_range() to READ_ONCE, since ACCESS_ONCE doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types. This patch also fixes the other ACCESS_ONCE usages in gup_pte_range() and __get_user_pages_fast() in mm/gup.c Signed-off-by:

As suggested by Kirill the "goto"s in vma_to_resize aren't necessary, just change them to explicit return. Signed-off-by:

Recently I straced bash behavior in this dd zero pipe to read test, in part of testing under vm.overcommit_memory=2 (OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode): # dd if=/dev/zero | read x The bash sub shell is calling mremap to reallocate more and more memory untill it finally failed -ENOMEM (I expect), or to be killed by system OOM killer (which should not happen under OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode); But the mremap system call actually failed of -EFAULT, which is a surprise to me, I think it's supposed to be -ENOMEM? then I wrote this piece of C code testing confirmed it: https://gist.github.com/crquan/326bde37e1ddda8effe5 $ ./remap allocated one page @0x7f686bf71000, (PAGE_SIZE: 4096) grabbed 7680512000 bytes of memory (1875125 pages) @ 00007f6690993000. mremap failed Bad address (14). The -EFAULT comes from the branch of security_vm_enough_memory_mm failure, underlyingly it calls __vm_enough_memory which returns only 0 for success or -ENOMEM; So why vma_to_resize needs to return -EFAULT in this case? this sounds like a mistake to me. Some more digging into git history: 1) Before commit 119f657c ("RLIMIT_AS checking fix") in May 1 2005 (pre 2.6.12 days) it was returning -ENOMEM for this failure; 2) but commit 119f657c ("untangling do_mremap(), part 1") changed it accidentally, to what ever is preserved in local ret, which happened to be -EFAULT, in a previous assignment; 3) then in commit 54f5de70 code refactoring, it's explicitly returning -EFAULT, should be wrong.
