mm/memory_hotplug: define find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn as unsigned long

2017-10-04T00:54:26+00:00

find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn()s find the smallest/biggest section and return the pfn of the section. But the functions are defined as int. So the functions always return 0x00000000 - 0xffffffff. It means if memory address is over 16TB, the functions does not work correctly. To handle 64 bit value, the patch defines find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn() as unsigned long.

mm/memory_hotplug: change pfn_to_section_nr/section_nr_to_pfn macro to inline function

2017-10-04T00:54:25+00:00

pfn_to_section_nr() and section_nr_to_pfn() are defined as macro. pfn_to_section_nr() has no issue even if it is defined as macro. But section_nr_to_pfn() has overflow issue if sec is defined as int. section_nr_to_pfn() just shifts sec by PFN_SECTION_SHIFT. If sec is defined as unsigned long, section_nr_to_pfn() returns pfn as 64 bit value. But if sec is defined as int, section_nr_to_pfn() returns pfn as 32 bit value. __remove_section() calculates start_pfn using section_nr_to_pfn() and scn_nr defined as int. So if hot-removed memory address is over 16TB, overflow issue occurs and section_nr_to_pfn() does not calculate correct pfn. To make callers use proper arg, the patch changes the macros to inline functions.

mm, memory_hotplug: add scheduling point to __add_pages

2017-10-04T00:54:25+00:00

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: fix few soft lockups in memory hotadd". Johannes has noticed few soft lockups when adding a large nvdimm device. All of them were caused by a long loop without any explicit cond_resched which is a problem for !PREEMPT kernels. The fix is quite straightforward. Just make sure that cond_resched gets called from time to time. This patch (of 3): __add_pages gets a pfn range to add and there is no upper bound for a single call. This is usually a memory block aligned size for the regular memory hotplug - smaller sizes are usual for memory balloning drivers, or the whole NUMA node for physical memory online. There is no explicit scheduling point in that code path though. This can lead to long latencies while __add_pages is executed and we have even seen a soft lockup report during nvdimm initialization with !PREEMPT kernel NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#11 stuck for 23s!

mm: memcontrol: use vmalloc fallback for large kmem memcg arrays

2017-10-04T00:54:25+00:00

For quick per-memcg indexing, slab caches and list_lru structures maintain linear arrays of descriptors. As the number of concurrent memory cgroups in the system goes up, this requires large contiguous allocations (8k cgroups = order-5, 16k cgroups = order-6 etc.) for every existing slab cache and list_lru, which can easily fail on loaded systems. E.g.: mkdir: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x14040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null) CPU: 1 PID: 6399 Comm: mkdir Not tainted 4.13.0-mm1-00065-g720bbe532b7c-dirty #481 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-20170228_101828-anatol 04/01/2014 Call Trace: ? __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0x4c/0x110 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xf50/0x1430 alloc_pages_current+0x60/0xc0 kmalloc_order_trace+0x29/0x1b0 __kmalloc+0x1f4/0x320 memcg_update_all_list_lrus+0xca/0x2e0 mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x612/0x670 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0x19e/0x360 cgroup_mkdir+0x322/0x490 kernfs_iop_mkdir+0x55/0x80 vfs_mkdir+0xd0/0x120 SyS_mkdirat+0x6c/0xe0 SyS_mkdir+0x14/0x20 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad Mem-Info: active_anon:2965 inactive_anon:19 isolated_anon:0 active_file:100270 inactive_file:98846 isolated_file:0 unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 slab_reclaimable:7328 slab_unreclaimable:16402 mapped:771 shmem:52 pagetables:278 bounce:0 free:13718 free_pcp:0 free_cma:0 This output is from an artificial reproducer, but we have repeatedly observed order-7 failures in production in the Facebook fleet. These systems become useless as they cannot run more jobs, even though there is plenty of memory to allocate 128 individual pages. Use kvmalloc and kvzalloc to fall back to vmalloc space if these arrays prove too large for allocating them physically contiguous.

mm: fix data corruption caused by lazyfree page

2017-10-04T00:54:25+00:00

MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap cache between these two steps by page reclaim. If page reclaim finds such page, it will simply add the page to swap cache without pageout the page to swap because the page is marked as clean. Next time, page fault will read data from the swap slot which doesn't have the original data, so we have a data corruption. To fix issue, we mark the page dirty and pageout the page. However, we shouldn't dirty all pages which is clean and in swap cache. swapin page is swap cache and clean too. So we only dirty page which is added into swap cache in page reclaim, which shouldn't be swapin page. As Minchan suggested, simply dirty the page in add_to_swap can do the job.

mm: avoid marking swap cached page as lazyfree

2017-10-04T00:54:24+00:00

MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap cache between these two steps by page reclaim. Page reclaim could add the page to swap cache and unmap the page. After page reclaim, the page is added back to lru. At that time, we probably start draining per-cpu pagevec and mark the page lazyfree. So the page could be in a state with SwapBacked cleared and PG_swapcache set. Next time there is a refault in the virtual address, do_swap_page can find the page from swap cache but the page has PageSwapCache false because SwapBacked isn't set, so do_swap_page will bail out and do nothing. The task will keep running into fault handler.

mm: have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC

2017-10-04T00:54:24+00:00

Eryu noticed that he could sometimes get a leftover error reported when it shouldn't be on fsync with ext2 and non-journalled ext4. The problem is that writeback_single_inode still uses filemap_fdatawait. That picks up a previously set AS_EIO flag, which would ordinarily have been cleared before. Since we're mostly using this function as a replacement for filemap_check_errors, have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC when reporting an error. That should allow the new function to better emulate the behavior of the old with respect to these flags.
