13 years agomm: avoid repeated anon_vma lock/unlock sequences in unlink_anon_vmas()

mm: avoid repeated anon_vma lock/unlock sequences in unlink_anon_vmas()

This matches the anon_vma_clone() case, and uses the same lock helper
functions.  Because of the need to potentially release the anon_vma's,
it's a bit more complex, though.

We traverse the 'vma->anon_vma_chain' in two phases: the first loop gets
the anon_vma lock (with the helper function that only takes the lock
once for the whole loop), and removes any entries that don't need any
more processing.

The second phase just traverses the remaining list entries (without
holding the anon_vma lock), and does any actual freeing of the
anon_vma's that is required.

mm: avoid repeated anon_vma lock/unlock sequences in anon_vma_clone()

In anon_vma_clone() we traverse the vma->anon_vma_chain of the source
vma, locking the anon_vma for each entry.

But they are all going to have the same root entry, which means that
we're locking and unlocking the same lock over and over again.  Which is
expensive in locked operations, but can get _really_ expensive when that
root entry sees any kind of lock contention.

In fact, Tim Chen reports a big performance regression due to this: when
we switched to use a mutex instead of a spinlock, the contention case
gets much worse.

So to alleviate this all, this commit creates a small helper function
(lock_anon_vma_root()) that can be used to take the lock just once
rather than taking and releasing it over and over again.

We still have the same "take the lock and release" it behavior in the
exit path (in unlink_anon_vmas()), but that one is a bit harder to fix
since we're actually freeing the anon_vma entries as we go, and that
will touch the lock too.

mapwrite to a hole

of the page is needed and overwrites old data.  In fact, I don't see why we

when we entered __block_write_begin() and it should stay so when we leave it,

Al Viro [Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:10:06 +0000 (15:10 +0100)]
VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount

[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]

If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.

The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.

During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.

The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount().  However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.

The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed.  follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt.  That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move.  The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.

The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int pid, ws;
struct stat buf;
pid = fork();
stat(argv[1], &buf);
if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
return 0;
}

and the following procedure:

 (1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
     subdirectory.  For instance, I can mount / from my server:

mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r

     On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
     a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
     being a mountpoint.  This will cause the automount code to be triggered.

     !!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!

 (2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
     simultaneous automount requests:

/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile

 (3) Unmount the automounted submount:

umount /mnt/data

 (4) Unmount the original mount:

umount /mnt

     At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
     following:

BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]

Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

fix wrong iput on d_inode introduced by e6bc45d65d

Git bisection shows that commit e6bc45d65df8599fdbae73be9cec4ceed274db53 causes
BUG_ONs under high I/O load:

kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1368!

[ 2862.501007]  [<ffffffff814c14fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.

The buggy part of the patch is this:
struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
-               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
-                       goto slashes;
                inode = dentry->d_inode;
-               if (inode)
-                       ihold(inode);
+               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+                       goto slashes;
+               ihold(inode)
...
if (inode)
iput(inode); /* truncate the inode here */

If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.

Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

13 years agomm: get rid of the most spurious find_vma_prev() users
Linus Torvalds [Thu, 16 Jun 2011 07:35:09 +0000 (00:35 -0700)]
mm: get rid of the most spurious find_vma_prev() users

We have some users of this function that date back to before the vma
list was doubly linked, and just are silly.  These days, you can find
the previous vma by just following the vma->vm_prev pointer.

In some cases you don't need any find_vma() lookup at all, and in other
cases you're better off with the regular "find_vma()" that uses the vma
cache front-end lookup.

Some "find_vma_prev()" users are still valid, though.  For example, in
the case of a stack that grows up, it can be the case that we don't find
any 'vma' at all (because we're looking up an address that is past the
last vma), and that the stack that we want to grow is the 'prev' vma.

But that kind of special case aside, we generally should prefer to use
'find_vma()'.

Noticed due to a totally unrelated POWER memory corruption bug that just
happened to hit in 'find_vma_prev()' and made me go "Hmm - why are we
using that function here?".

It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML,
which does some seriously crazy stuff with VM_STACK_FLAGS.

The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied
VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have

  arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:

#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)

#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags

(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")

It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

drivers/char/hpet.c: fix periodic-emulation for delayed interrupts

When interrupts are delayed due to interrupt masking or due to other
interrupts being serviced the HPET periodic-emuation would fail.  This
happened because given an interval t and a time for the current interrupt
m we would compute the next time as t + m.  This works until we are
delayed for > t, in which case we would be writing a new value which is in
fact in the past.

This can be solved by computing the next time instead as (k * t) + m where
k is large enough to be in the future.  The exact computation of k is
described in a comment to the code.

More detail:

Assuming an interval of 5 between each expected interrupt we have a normal
case of

t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t5: interrupt, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5
t10: interrupt, read t10 from comparator, set next interrupt t10 + 5
...

So, what happens when the interrupt is serviced too late?

t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t5 + 5, which is in the past!
... counter loops ...
t10: Much much later, get the next interrupt.

This can happen either because we have interrupts masked for too long
(some stupid driver goes on a printk rampage) or just because we are
pushing the limits of the interval (too small a period), or both most
probably.

My solution is to read the main counter as well and set the next interrupt
to occur at the right interval, for example:

t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t15 as t10 has been missed.
t15: back on track.

mm: compaction: ensure that the compaction free scanner does not move to the next zone

Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner.  When
the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete.  The
location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive
scanning.

When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration
scanner to be close to the end of the zone.  Then the following situation
can occurs

  o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone
  o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the
    migration scanner is already there
  o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as
    cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages
    moving the free scanner into the next zone
  o migration scanner moves into the next zone

When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the
accounting happens against the wrong zone.  One zones counter remains
positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global
count is accurate.  This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP
allows the negative counters to be visible.  The fact that it is the bug
should theoritically be possible there.

mm/memory-failure.c: fix page isolated count mismatch

Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters
NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE].  Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to
increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU.  Once the
pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the

Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing
the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative.  On SMP builds, this goes
unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu

large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or

For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache.  This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases.  Typical cases are

   1. when someone hit limit.

   2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.

But "1" has problem.

Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of

cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,

What happens is that khugepaged tries to charge a huge page against an mm
whose last possible owner has already exited, and the memory controller
crashes when the stale mm->owner is used to look up the cgroup to charge.

mm->owner has never been set to NULL with the last owner going away, but
nobody cared until khugepaged came along.

Even then it wasn't a problem because the final mmput() on an mm was
forced to acquire and release mmap_sem in write-mode, preventing an
exiting owner to go away while the mmap_sem was held, and until "692e0b3
mm: thp: optimize memcg charge in khugepaged", the memory cgroup charge
was protected by mmap_sem in read-mode.

Instead of going back to relying on the mmap_sem to enforce lifetime of a
task, this patch ensures that mm->owner is properly set to NULL when the
last possible owner is exiting, which the memory controller can handle
just fine.

13 years agomemcg: fix init_page_cgroup nid with sparsemem

memcg: fix init_page_cgroup nid with sparsemem

Commit 21a3c9646873 ("memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local
nodes") makes page_cgroup allocation as NUMA aware.  But that caused a
problem https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36192.

The problem was getting a NID from invalid struct pages, which was not
initialized because it was out-of-node, out of [node_start_pfn,
node_end_pfn)

Now, with sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn.  But
this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access memmap which
is not initialized.

This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove a code
to get nid from page->flags.  (Then, we'll use valid NID always.)

13 years agomm: fix negative commitlimit when gigantic hugepages are allocated
Rafael Aquini [Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:08:39 +0000 (15:08 -0700)]
mm: fix negative commitlimit when gigantic hugepages are allocated

When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box.  Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.

The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'.  However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()

What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:

        allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages())
                * sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages;

A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.

Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.

Impact of this bug:

When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.  In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.

Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug zonelist

During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new
zone.  It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages
are onlined.  So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier
will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list.  Moreover,
if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback.

This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available.

Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu
      and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems.

      But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup
      will access not initialized zonelist of node.
      Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.

uts: make default hostname configurable, rather than always using "(none)"

The "hostname" tool falls back to setting the hostname to "localhost" if
/etc/hostname does not exist.  Distribution init scripts have the same
fallback.  However, if userspace never calls sethostname, such as when
booting with init=/bin/sh, or otherwise booting a minimal system without
the usual init scripts, the default hostname of "(none)" remains,
unhelpfully appearing in various places such as prompts ("root@(none):~#")
and logs.  Furthermore, "(none)" doesn't typically resolve to anything
useful.

Make the default hostname configurable.  This removes the need for the
standard fallback, provides a useful default for systems that never call
sethostname, and makes minimal systems that much more useful with less
configuration.  Distributions could choose to use "localhost" here to
avoid the fallback, while embedded systems may wish to use a specific

Running a ktest.pl git bisect, found the culprit: commit e303297e6c3a
("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather")

But although this was the commit triggering the bug, it was not the one
originally responsible for the bug.  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.

13 years agomm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30
KOSAKI Motohiro [Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:08:20 +0000 (15:08 -0700)]
mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30

Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236)
that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual
Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB).  He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on
a very traditional single-process model.

  * a master process which reads config files and manages the other
    process
  * multiple imapd processes, one per connection
  * multiple pop3d processes, one per connection
  * multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection
  * periodical "cleanup" processes.

There are thousands of independent processes.  The problem is, recent
Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional
prefork model software don't work well on it.  Unfortunatelly, such models
are still typical even in the 21st century.  We can't ignore them.

This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30.  30 doesn't have
any specific meaning.  but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and
such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional
servers as above.  The intention is that these machines don't use
zone_reclaim_mode.

Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions.
This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior.

Dave Hansen said:

: I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information
: in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode
: behavior which that implies.
:
: They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks
: to make sure that they _want_ this turned on.  What this means for them
: is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of
: the kernel.
:
: If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we
: should do.  Have a list of specific configurations that need the
: defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an
: unusual hardware configuration not really reflected in the distance
: table.

And later said:

: The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a
: benchmark.  Said benchmark isn't going to get run on mainline until the
: next batch of enterprise distros drops, at which point the hardware where
: this was done will be irrelevant for the benchmark.  I'm sure any new
: hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to
: make the kernel do what it wants.  :)
:
: Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained.  So, I
: guess I'm getting my way now, with this patch.  I'm cool with it.

vmscan: implement swap token priority aging

While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.

Why?

Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner.  Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.

And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased.  That's obviously undesirable.

This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging.  It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)
