Excessive migration of pages can hurt the performance of workloads
that span multiple NUMA nodes. However, it turns out that the
p->numa_migrate_deferred knob is a really big hammer, which does
reduce migration rates, but does not actually help performance.
Now that the second stage of the automatic numa balancing code
has stabilized, it is time to replace the simplistic migration
deferral code with something smarter.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Bad Address (null pointer deref?)
Commit 8456a648cf changes the page structure so that the slab
subsystem reuses the page->mapping field.
The crash happens in the following way:
* XFS allocates some memory from slab and issues a bio to read data
into it.
* the bio is sent to the loopback device.
* lo_receive creates an actor and calls splice_direct_to_actor.
* lo_splice_actor copies data to the target page.
* lo_splice_actor calls flush_dcache_page because the page may be
mapped by userspace. In that case we need to flush the kernel cache.
* flush_dcache_page asks for the list of userspace mappings, however
that page->mapping field is reused by the slab subsystem for a
different purpose. This causes the crash.
Note that other architectures without coherent caches (sparc, arm, mips)
also call page_mapping from flush_dcache_page, so they may crash in the
same way.
This patch fixes this bug by testing if the page is a slab page in
page_mapping and returning NULL if it is.
The patch also fixes VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) that could happen in
earlier kernels in the same scenario on architectures without cache
coherence when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled - so it should be backported
to stable kernels.
In the old kernels, the function page_mapping is placed in
include/linux/mm.h, so you should modify the patch accordingly when
backporting it.

The reasoning of this problem is shown below:
- when we have a memory error on a thp tail page, the memory error
handler grabs a refcount of the head page to keep the thp under us.
- Before unmapping the error page from processes, we split the thp,
where page refcounts of both of head/tail pages don't change.
- Then we call try_to_unmap() over the error page (which was a tail
page before). We didn't pin the error page to handle the memory error,
this error page is freed and removed from LRU list.
- We never have the error page on LRU list, so the first page state
check returns "unknown page," then we move to the second check
with the saved page flag.
- The saved page flag have PG_tail set, so the second page state check
returns "hugepage."
- We call me_huge_page() for freed error page, then we hit the above panic.
The root cause is that we didn't move refcount from the head page to the
tail page after split thp. So this patch suggests to do this.
This panic was introduced by commit 524fca1e73 ("HWPOISON: fix
misjudgement of page_action() for errors on mlocked pages"). Note that we
did have the same refcount problem before this commit, but it was just
ignored because we had only first page state check which returned "unknown
page." The commit changed the refcount problem from "doesn't work" to
"kernel panic."

Commit 7225522bb4 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec" introduced __munlock_pagevec() to speed
up munlock by holding lru_lock over multiple isolated pages. Pages that
fail to be isolated are put_page()d immediately, also within the lock.
This can lead to deadlock when __munlock_pagevec() becomes the holder of
the last page pin and put_page() leads to __page_cache_release() which
also locks lru_lock. The deadlock has been observed by Sasha Levin
using trinity.
This patch avoids the deadlock by deferring put_page() operations until
lru_lock is released. Another pagevec (which is also used by later
phases of the function is reused to gather the pages for put_page()
operation.

Since commit ff6a6da60b ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when
the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail
pages.
Commit 7225522bb4 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which
contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered
using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked
flag.
This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when
PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with
THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many
pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being
skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the
PageTail flags are cleared.
However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which
is to be fixed in a separate patch.

The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core
migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking
fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation.
To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter
that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page
being migrated.
While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page
being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent
misbehaviour in the case of races.

Commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant
to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous
and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems.
Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to
make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all
allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the
highest zone in the node.
While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is
obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes -
remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality
over memory utilization. The original change assumed that
zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it
turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip.
Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to
make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around
open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy").
That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread
out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and
slab.
The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory
allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each
zone. It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel
allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the
allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason.
Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim
or slab shrinking.

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by
mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and
compaction on the other side.
The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets
made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed.
During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page.
This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration
code may come in, and migrate the page away.
When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached
translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the
process.
This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible.
All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush,
or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions
(SPARC).
The basic race looks like this:
CPU A CPU B CPU C
load TLB entry
make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA
fault on entry
read/write old page
start migrating page
change PTE/PMD to new page
read/write old page [*]
flush TLB
reload TLB from new entry
read/write new page
lose data
[*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point!
The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that
pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may
still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm.
This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

The TLB must be flushed if the PTE is updated but change_pte_range is
clearing the PTE while marking PTEs pte_numa without necessarily
flushing the TLB if it reinserts the same entry. Without the flush,
it's conceivable that two processors have different TLBs for the same
virtual address and at the very least it would generate spurious faults.
This patch only unmaps the pages in change_pte_range for a full
protection change.

On x86, PMD entries are similar to _PAGE_PROTNONE protection and are
handled as NUMA hinting faults. The following two page table protection
bits are what defines them
_PAGE_NUMA:set _PAGE_PRESENT:clear
A PMD is considered present if any of the _PAGE_PRESENT, _PAGE_PROTNONE,
_PAGE_PSE or _PAGE_NUMA bits are set. If pmdp_invalidate encounters a
pmd_numa, it clears the present bit leaving _PAGE_NUMA which will be
considered not present by the CPU but present by pmd_present. The
existing caller of pmdp_invalidate should handle it but it's an
inconsistent state for a PMD. This patch keeps the state consistent
when calling pmdp_invalidate.

Base pages are unmapped and flushed from cache and TLB during normal
page migration and replaced with a migration entry that causes any
parallel NUMA hinting fault or gup to block until migration completes.
THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration entries
at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages and
get_user_pages_fast which commit 3f926ab945 ("mm: Close races between
THP migration and PMD numa clearing") made worse by introducing a
pmd_clear_flush().
This patch forces get_user_page (fast and normal) on a pmd_numa page to
go through the slow get_user_page path where it will serialise against
THP migration and properly account for the NUMA hinting fault. On the
migration side the page table lock is taken for each PTE update.

Commit 4942642080 ("mm: memcg: handle non-error OOM situations more
gracefully") allowed tasks that already entered a memcg OOM condition to
bypass the memcg limit on subsequent allocation attempts hoping this
would expedite finishing the page fault and executing the kill.
David Rientjes is worried that this breaks memcg isolation guarantees
and since there is no evidence that the bypass actually speeds up fault
processing just change it so that these subsequent charge attempts fail
outright. The notable exception being __GFP_NOFAIL charges which are
required to bypass the limit regardless.

There is a race condition between a memcg being torn down and a swapin
triggered from a different memcg of a page that was recorded to belong
to the exiting memcg on swapout (with CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP extension). The
result is unreclaimable pages pointing to dead memcgs, which can lead to
anything from endless loops in later memcg teardown (the page is charged
to all hierarchical parents but is not on any LRU list) or crashes from
following the dangling memcg pointer.
Memcgs with tasks in them can not be torn down and usually charges don't
show up in memcgs without tasks. Swapin with the CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP
extension is the notable exception because it charges the cgroup that
was recorded as owner during swapout, which may be empty and in the
process of being torn down when a task in another memcg triggers the
swapin:
teardown: swapin:
lookup_swap_cgroup_id()
rcu_read_lock()
mem_cgroup_lookup()
css_tryget()
rcu_read_unlock()
disable css_tryget()
call_rcu()
offline_css()
reparent_charges()
res_counter_charge() (hierarchical!)
css_put()
css_free()
pc->mem_cgroup = dead memcg
add page to dead lru
Add a final reparenting step into css_free() to make sure any such raced
charges are moved out of the memcg before it's finally freed.
In the longer term it would be cleaner to have the css_tryget() and the
res_counter charge under the same RCU lock section so that the charge
reparenting is deferred until the last charge whose tryget succeeded is
visible. But this will require more invasive changes that will be
harder to evaluate and backport into stable, so better defer them to a
separate change set.

We have a problem where the big_key key storage implementation uses a
shmem backed inode to hold the key contents. Because of this detail of
implementation LSM checks are being done between processes trying to
read the keys and the tmpfs backed inode. The LSM checks are already
being handled on the key interface level and should not be enforced at
the inode level (since the inode is an implementation detail, not a
part of the security model)
This patch implements a new function shmem_kernel_file_setup() which
returns the equivalent to shmem_file_setup() only the underlying inode
has S_PRIVATE set. This means that all LSM checks for the inode in
question are skipped. It should only be used for kernel internal
operations where the inode is not exposed to userspace without proper
LSM checking. It is possible that some other users of
shmem_file_setup() should use the new interface, but this has not been
explored.
Reproducing this bug is a little bit difficult. The steps I used on
Fedora are:
(1) Turn off selinux enforcing:
setenforce 0
(2) Create a huge key
k=`dd if=/dev/zero bs=8192 count=1 | keyctl padd big_key test-key @s`
(3) Access the key in another context:
runcon system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 keyctl print $k >/dev/null
(4) Examine the audit logs:
ausearch -m AVC -i --subject httpd_t | audit2allow
If the last command's output includes a line that looks like:
allow httpd_t user_tmpfs_t:file { open read };
There was an inode check between httpd and the tmpfs filesystem. With
this patch no such denial will be seen. (NOTE! you should clear your
audit log if you have tested for this previously)
(Please return you box to enforcing)

Commit 7cb2ef56e6 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database
caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if
split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
tail_page->private field.
Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
both cases.
The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
avoid memory corruption.
A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
relevant for the compound_lock path too).
By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
pages, this also fixes the below problem:

Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
So, yay for code reuse. But:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the
time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
page order, it works.
But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
(say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
...
Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff10 ("mm: numa: Add
THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API. It is now safe
to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a
compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination
address is pointing to a const variable.
As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element
instead a pointer to the element. This was suggested Russell King. It
make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to
create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass
integers of different sizes.
IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of
kfifo_put().
The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes. For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each. An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.
Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.

Use kernel/bounds.c to convert build-time spinlock_t size check into a
preprocessor symbol and apply that to properly separate the page::ptl
situation.

If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page
of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too
big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
enabled.
This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock
if we can't embed it to struct page.
page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if
sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t.
The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to
support dynamically allocated page->ptl.

The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.
We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore. Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
and false otherwise. Current implementation never fails, but assumption
that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
allocation is required.
