* thp: prevent hugepages during args/env copying into the user stackAndrea Arcangeli2011-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Transparent hugepages can only be created if rmap is fully functional. So we must prevent hugepages to be created while is_vma_temporary_stack() is true. This also optmizes away some harmless but unnecessary setting of khugepaged_scan.address and it switches some BUG_ON to VM_BUG_ON.

* vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is doneJohannes Weiner2011-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3e7d34497067 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim") introduced an indefinite loop in shrink_zone(). It meant to break out of this loop when no pages had been reclaimed and not a single page was even scanned. The way it would detect the latter is by taking a snapshot of sc->nr_scanned at the beginning of the function and comparing it against the new sc->nr_scanned after the scan loop. But it would re-iterate without updating that snapshot, looping forever if sc->nr_scanned changed at least once since shrink_zone() was invoked. This is not the sole condition that would exit that loop, but it requires other processes to change the zone state, as the reclaimer that is stuck obviously can not anymore. This is only happening for higher-order allocations, where reclaim is run back to back with compaction.

* mlock: do not munlock pages in __do_fault()Michel Lespinasse2011-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW. However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present), so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being mapped in __do_fault's VMA. Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.

* mlock: fix race when munlocking pages in do_wp_page()Michel Lespinasse2011-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vmscan can lazily find pages that are mapped within VM_LOCKED vmas, and set the PageMlocked bit on these pages, transfering them onto the unevictable list. When do_wp_page() breaks COW within a VM_LOCKED vma, it may need to clear PageMlocked on the old page and set it on the new page instead. This change fixes an issue where do_wp_page() was clearing PageMlocked on the old page while the pte was still pointing to it (as well as rmap). Therefore, we were not protected against vmscan immediately transfering the old page back onto the unevictable list. This could cause pages to get stranded there forever. I propose to move the corresponding code to the end of do_wp_page(), after the pte (and rmap) have been pointed to the new page. Additionally, we can use munlock_vma_page() instead of clear_page_mlock(), so that the old page stays mlocked if there are still other VM_LOCKED vmas mapping it.

* memcg: prevent endless loop when charging huge pages to near-limit groupJohannes Weiner2011-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If reclaim after a failed charging was unsuccessful, the limits are checked again, just in case they settled by means of other tasks. This is all fine as long as every charge is of size PAGE_SIZE, because in that case, being below the limit means having at least PAGE_SIZE bytes available. But with transparent huge pages, we may end up in an endless loop where charging and reclaim fail, but we keep going because the limits are not yet exceeded, although not allowing for a huge page. Fix this up by explicitely checking for enough room, not just whether we are within limits.

* memcg: prevent endless loop when charging huge pagesJohannes Weiner2011-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The charging code can encounter a charge size that is bigger than a regular page in two situations: one is a batched charge to fill the per-cpu stocks, the other is a huge page charge. This code is distributed over two functions, however, and only the outer one is aware of huge pages. In case the charging fails, the inner function will tell the outer function to retry if the charge size is bigger than regular pages--assuming batched charging is the only case. And the outer function will retry forever charging a huge page. This patch makes sure the inner function can distinguish between batch charging and a single huge page charge. It will only signal another attempt if batch charging failed, and go into regular reclaim when it is called on behalf of a huge page.

* thp: fix unsuitable behavior for hwpoisoned tail pageJin Dongming2011-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a tail page of THP is poisoned, memory-failure will do nothing except setting PG_hwpoison, while the expected behavior is that the process, who is using the poisoned tail page, should be killed. The above problem is caused by lru check of the poisoned tail page of THP. Because PG_lru flag is only set on the head page of THP, the check always consider the poisoned tail page as NON lru page. So the lru check for the tail page of THP should be avoided, as like as hugetlb. This patch adds !PageTransCompound() before lru check for THP, because of the check (!PageHuge() && !PageTransCompound()) the whole branch could be optimized away at build time when both hugetlbfs and THP are set with "N" (or in archs not supporting either of those).

* thp: fix the wrong reported address of hwpoisoned hugepagesJin Dongming2011-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the tail page of THP is poisoned, the head page will be poisoned too. And the wrong address, address of head page, will be sent with sigbus always. So when the poisoned page is used by Guest OS which is running on KVM, after the address changing(hva->gpa) by qemu, the unexpected process on Guest OS will be killed by sigbus. What we expected is that the process using the poisoned tail page could be killed on Guest OS, but not that the process using the healthy head page is killed. Since it is not good to poison the healthy page, avoid poisoning other than the page which is really poisoned. (While we poison all pages in a huge page in case of hugetlb, we can do this for THP thanks to split_huge_page().) Here we fix two parts: 1. Isolate the poisoned page only to make sure the reported address is the address of poisoned page. 2. make the poisoned page work as the poisoned regular page.

* thp: fix splitting of hwpoisoned hugepagesJin Dongming2011-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The poisoned THP is now split with split_huge_page() in collect_procs_anon(). If kmalloc() is failed in collect_procs(), split_huge_page() could not be called. And the work after split_huge_page() for collecting the processes using poisoned page will not be done, too. So the processes using the poisoned page could not be killed. The condition becomes worse when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM == "Y". Because the poisoned THP could not be split, system panic will be caused by VM_BUG_ON(PageTransHuge(page)) in try_to_unmap(). This patch does: 1. move split_huge_page() to the place before collect_procs(). This can be sure the failure of splitting THP is caused by itself. 2. when splitting THP is failed, stop the operations after it. This can avoid unexpected system panic or non sense works.

I am proposing to let mlock ignore vma protection in all cases except PROT_NONE.

It's always better to enable COMPACTION. The warning should be an error because we would end up with MIGRATION not selected, and COMPACTION wouldn't work without migration (despite it seems to build with an inline migrate_pages returning -ENOSYS). I'd also like to remove EXPERIMENTAL: compaction has been in the kernel for some releases (for full safety the default remains disabled which I think is enough).

* | mm: clear pages_scanned only if draining a pcp adds pages to the buddy allocatorDavid Rientjes2011-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0e093d99763e ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") uncovered a livelock in the page allocator that resulted in tasks infinitely looping trying to find memory and kswapd running at 100% cpu. The issue occurs because drain_all_pages() is called immediately following direct reclaim when no memory is freed and try_to_free_pages() returns non-zero because all zones in the zonelist do not have their all_unreclaimable flag set. When draining the per-cpu pagesets back to the buddy allocator for each zone, the zone->pages_scanned counter is cleared to avoid erroneously setting zone->all_unreclaimable later. The problem is that no pages may actually be drained and, thus, the unreclaimable logic never fails direct reclaim so the oom killer may be invoked. This apparently only manifested after wait_iff_congested() was introduced and the zone was full of anonymous memory that would not congest the backing store. The page allocator would infinitely loop if there were no other tasks waiting to be scheduled and clear zone->pages_scanned because of drain_all_pages() as the result of this change before kswapd could scan enough pages to trigger the reclaim logic. Additionally, with every loop of the page allocator and in the reclaim path, kswapd would be kicked and would end up running at 100% cpu. In this scenario, current and kswapd are all running continuously with kswapd incrementing zone->pages_scanned and current clearing it. The problem is even more pronounced when current swaps some of its memory to swap cache and the reclaimable logic then considers all active anonymous memory in the all_unreclaimable logic, which requires a much higher zone->pages_scanned value for try_to_free_pages() to return zero that is never attainable in this scenario. Before wait_iff_congested(), the page allocator would incur an unconditional timeout and allow kswapd to elevate zone->pages_scanned to a level that the oom killer would be called the next time it loops. The fix is to only attempt to drain pcp pages if there is actually a quantity to be drained. The unconditional clearing of zone->pages_scanned in free_pcppages_bulk() need not be changed since other callers already ensure that draining will occur. This patch ensures that free_pcppages_bulk() will actually free memory before calling into it from drain_all_pages() so zone->pages_scanned is only cleared if appropriate.

This incorrectly defers the timeout and busy loops in the page allocator with various cond_resched() calls if preferred_zone is not allowed in the current context, usually consuming 100% of a cpu. This patch ensures preferred_zone is an allowed zone in the fastpath depending on whether current is constrained by its cpuset or nodes in its mempolicy (when the nodemask passed is non-NULL). This is correct since the fastpath allocation always passes ALLOC_CPUSET when trying to allocate memory. In the slowpath, this patch resets preferred_zone to the first zone of the allowed type when the allocation is not constrained by current's cpuset, i.e. it does not pass ALLOC_CPUSET. This patch also ensures preferred_zone is from the set of allowed nodes when called from within direct reclaim since allocations are always constrained by cpusets in this context (it is blockable). Both of these uses of cpuset_current_mems_allowed are protected by get_mems_allowed().

It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support. Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that. Known issue: - Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe. v2: - adjust printk format per comments.
