* Encode huge page size for VM_FAULT_HWPOISON errorsAndi Kleen2010-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem introduced with the hugetlb hwpoison handling The user space SIGBUS signalling wants to know the size of the hugepage that caused a HWPOISON fault. Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy access to the struct page. Pass the information out in the fault error code instead. I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize changes. Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift. Will be used in a further patch.

* HWPOSION, hugetlb: recover from free hugepage error when !MF_COUNT_INCREASEDNaoya Horiguchi2010-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently error recovery for free hugepage works only for MF_COUNT_INCREASED. This patch enables !MF_COUNT_INCREASED case. Free hugepages can be handled directly by alloc_huge_page() and dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page(), and both of them are protected by hugetlb_lock, so there is no race between them. Note that this patch defines the refcount of HWPoisoned hugepage dequeued from freelist is 1, deviated from present 0, thereby we can avoid race between unpoison and memory failure on free hugepage. This is reasonable because unlikely to free buddy pages, free hugepage is governed by hugetlbfs even after error handling finishes. And it also makes unpoison code added in the later patch cleaner.

* hugetlb: move refcounting in hugepage allocation inside hugetlb_lockNaoya Horiguchi2010-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently alloc_huge_page() raises page refcount outside hugetlb_lock. but it causes race when dequeue_hwpoison_huge_page() runs concurrently with alloc_huge_page(). To avoid it, this patch moves set_page_refcounted() in hugetlb_lock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the PageHWPoison() check is for avoiding hwpoisoned page remained in pagecache mapping to the process, it should be done in "found in pagecache" branch, not in the common path.

* cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's memsMiao Xie2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

* hugetlbfs: kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of ↵Mel Gorman2010-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OOM-killer Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with reserves. For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap() returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus. An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap() will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault time. This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages. Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer. This is unhelpful. Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long). It could be considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user. This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the OOM killer. This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well. I feel there is a failure case in there, but I didn't create one. It would need a fairly specific target in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size. The hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be closed.

* hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pagesMel Gorman2010-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a page->mapping that will never exist. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details about the problem. This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is not on the LRU. This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

What this patch does is drop the spinlock before the page allocator is potentially entered. The check for page allocation failure can be made without the page_table_lock as well as the copy of the huge page. Even if the PTE changed while the spinlock was held, the consequence is that a huge page is copied unnecessarily. This resolves both the double taking of the lock and sleeping with the spinlock held.

* mm: add gfp flags for NODEMASK_ALLOC slab allocationsDavid Rientjes2009-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Objects passed to NODEMASK_ALLOC() are relatively small in size and are backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom killer. This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current when allocations are constrained by mempolicies. So for all present use cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct reclaim fails. That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but current would have sacrificed itself upon returning. This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations. All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages. The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8). All current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at this time.

* hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicyLee Schermerhorn2009-12-15

The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

* hugetlb: restore interleaving of bootmem huge pagesLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next node on failure to allocate a huge page, potentially filling nodes with huge-pages. I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman responded: I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in commit 63b4613c3f0d4b724ba259dc6c201bb68b884e1a ["hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when allocation was successful. This patch--factored out of my "hugetlb mempolicy" series--moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation.

* hugetlb: use free_pool_huge_page() to return unused surplus pagesLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the [modified] free_pool_huge_page() function to return unused surplus pages. This will help keep huge pages balanced across nodes between freeing of unused surplus pages and freeing of persistent huge pages [from set_max_huge_pages] by using the same node id "cursor". It also eliminates some code duplication.

* hugetlb: balance freeing of huge pages across nodesLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Free huges pages from nodes in round robin fashion in an attempt to keep [persistent a.k.a static] hugepages balanced across nodes New function free_pool_huge_page() is modeled on and performs roughly the inverse of alloc_fresh_huge_page(). Replaces dequeue_huge_page() which now has no callers, so this patch removes it. Helper function hstate_next_node_to_free() uses new hstate member next_to_free_nid to distribute "frees" across all nodes with huge pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get accounting wrong when doing something like: $ > foo $ date > foo date: write error: Invalid argument $ /usr/bin/stat foo File: `foo' Size: 0 Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular ... This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount. If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above. This is a regression from commit a5516438959d90b071ff0a484ce4f3f523dc3152 ("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size") which did: - inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed; + inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h); so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.

* mm: account for MAP_SHARED mappings using VM_MAYSHARE and not VM_SHARED in ↵Mel Gorman2009-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hugetlbfs Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302 hugetlbfs reserves huge pages but does not fault them at mmap() time to ensure that future faults succeed. The reservation behaviour differs depending on whether the mapping was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE. For MAP_SHARED mappings, hugepages are reserved when mmap() is first called and are tracked based on information associated with the inode. Other processes mapping MAP_SHARED use the same reservation. MAP_PRIVATE track the reservations based on the VMA created as part of the mmap() operation. Each process mapping MAP_PRIVATE must make its own reservation. hugetlbfs currently checks if a VMA is MAP_SHARED with the VM_SHARED flag and not VM_MAYSHARE. For file-backed mappings, such as hugetlbfs, VM_SHARED is set only if the mapping is MAP_SHARED and the file was opened read-write. If a shared memory mapping was mapped shared-read-write for populating of data and mapped shared-read-only by other processes, then hugetlbfs would account for the mapping as if it was MAP_PRIVATE. This causes processes to fail to map the file MAP_SHARED even though it should succeed as the reservation is there. This patch alters mm/hugetlb.c and replaces VM_SHARED with VM_MAYSHARE when the intent of the code was to check whether the VMA was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.
