From 855af072b6c40aeb266f4dc98fd9a6a49edf22af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Ho Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2016 17:02:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, proc: fix region lost in /proc/self/smaps Recently, Redhat reported that nvml test suite failed on QEMU/KVM, more detailed info please refer to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365721 Actually, this bug is not only for NVDIMM/DAX but also for any other file systems. This simple test case abstracted from nvml can easily reproduce this bug in common environment: -------------------------- testcase.c ----------------------------- int is_pmem_proc(const void *addr, size_t len) { const char *caddr = addr; FILE *fp; if ((fp = fopen("/proc/self/smaps", "r")) == NULL) { printf("!/proc/self/smaps"); return 0; } int retval = 0; /* assume false until proven otherwise */ char line[PROCMAXLEN]; /* for fgets() */ char *lo = NULL; /* beginning of current range in smaps file */ char *hi = NULL; /* end of current range in smaps file */ int needmm = 0; /* looking for mm flag for current range */ while (fgets(line, PROCMAXLEN, fp) != NULL) { static const char vmflags[] = "VmFlags:"; static const char mm[] = " wr"; /* check for range line */ if (sscanf(line, "%p-%p", &lo, &hi) == 2) { if (needmm) { /* last range matched, but no mm flag found */ printf("never found mm flag.\n"); break; } else if (caddr < lo) { /* never found the range for caddr */ printf("#######no match for addr %p.\n", caddr); break; } else if (caddr < hi) { /* start address is in this range */ size_t rangelen = (size_t)(hi - caddr); /* remember that matching has started */ needmm = 1; /* calculate remaining range to search for */ if (len > rangelen) { len -= rangelen; caddr += rangelen; printf("matched %zu bytes in range " "%p-%p, %zu left over.\n", rangelen, lo, hi, len); } else { len = 0; printf("matched all bytes in range " "%p-%p.\n", lo, hi); } } } else if (needmm && strncmp(line, vmflags, sizeof(vmflags) - 1) == 0) { if (strstr(&line[sizeof(vmflags) - 1], mm) != NULL) { printf("mm flag found.\n"); if (len == 0) { /* entire range matched */ retval = 1; break; } needmm = 0; /* saw what was needed */ } else { /* mm flag not set for some or all of range */ printf("range has no mm flag.\n"); break; } } } fclose(fp); printf("returning %d.\n", retval); return retval; } void *Addr; size_t Size; /* * worker -- the work each thread performs */ static void * worker(void *arg) { int *ret = (int *)arg; *ret = is_pmem_proc(Addr, Size); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 2 || argc > 3) { printf("usage: %s file [env].\n", argv[0]); return -1; } int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR); struct stat stbuf; fstat(fd, &stbuf); Size = stbuf.st_size; Addr = mmap(0, stbuf.st_size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); close(fd); pthread_t threads[NTHREAD]; int ret[NTHREAD]; /* kick off NTHREAD threads */ for (int i = 0; i < NTHREAD; i++) pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, worker, &ret[i]); /* wait for all the threads to complete */ for (int i = 0; i < NTHREAD; i++) pthread_join(threads[i], NULL); /* verify that all the threads return the same value */ for (int i = 1; i < NTHREAD; i++) { if (ret[0] != ret[i]) { printf("Error i %d ret[0] = %d ret[i] = %d.\n", i, ret[0], ret[i]); } } printf("%d", ret[0]); return 0; } It failed as some threads can not find the memory region in "/proc/self/smaps" which is allocated in the main process It is caused by proc fs which uses 'file->version' to indicate the VMA that is the last one has already been handled by read() system call. When the next read() issues, it uses the 'version' to find the VMA, then the next VMA is what we want to handle, the related code is as follows: if (last_addr) { vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr); if (vma && (vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma))) return vma; } However, VMA will be lost if the last VMA is gone, e.g: The process VMA list is A->B->C->D CPU 0 CPU 1 read() system call handle VMA B version = B return to userspace unmap VMA B issue read() again to continue to get the region info find_vma(version) will get VMA C m_next_vma(C) will get VMA D handle D !!! VMA C is lost !!! In order to fix this bug, we make 'file->version' indicate the end address of the current VMA. m_start will then look up a vma which with vma_start < last_vm_end and moves on to the next vma if we found the same or an overlapping vma. This will guarantee that we will not miss an exclusive vma but we can still miss one if the previous vma was shrunk. This is acceptable because guaranteeing "never miss a vma" is simply not feasible. User has to cope with some inconsistencies if the file is not read in one go.
