2022-04-13mm/slub: remove unused parameter in setup_object*()JaeSang Yoo
setup_object_debug() and setup_object() has unused parameter, "struct slab *slab". Remove it. By the commit 3ec0974210fe ("SLUB: Simplify debug code"), setup_object_debug() were introduced to refactor previous code blocks in the setup_object(). Previous code used SlabDebug() to init_object() and init_tracking(). As the SlabDebug() takes "struct page *page" as argument, the setup_object_debug() checks flag of "struct kmem_cache *s" which doesn't require "struct page *page". As the struct page were changed into struct slab by commit bb192ed9aa719 ("mm/slub: Convert most struct page to struct slab by spatch"), but it's still unused parameter.

2022-04-08mm/mempolicy: fix mpol_new leak in shared_policy_replaceMiaohe Lin
If mpol_new is allocated but not used in restart loop, mpol_new will be freed via mpol_put before returning to the caller. But refcnt is not initialized yet, so mpol_put could not do the right things and might leak the unused mpol_new. This would happen if mempolicy was updated on the shared shmem file while the sp->lock has been dropped during the memory allocation. This issue could be triggered easily with the below code snippet if there are many processes doing the below work at the same time: shmid = shmget((key_t)5566, 1024 * PAGE_SIZE, 0666|IPC_CREAT); shm = shmat(shmid, 0, 0); loop many times { mbind(shm, 1024 * PAGE_SIZE, MPOL_LOCAL, mask, maxnode, 0); mbind(shm + 128 * PAGE_SIZE, 128 * PAGE_SIZE, MPOL_DEFAULT, mask, maxnode, 0); } Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220329111416.27954-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com Fixes: 42288fe366c4 ("mm: mempolicy: Convert shared_policy mutex to spinlock") Signed-off-by: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.8] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2022-04-08mmmremap.c: avoid pointless invalidate_range_start/end on mremap(old_size=0)Paolo Bonzini
If an mremap() syscall with old_size=0 ends up in move_page_tables(), it will call invalidate_range_start()/invalidate_range_end() unnecessarily, i.e. with an empty range. This causes a WARN in KVM's mmu_notifier. In the past, empty ranges have been diagnosed to be off-by-one bugs, hence the WARNing. Given the low (so far) number of unique reports, the benefits of detecting more buggy callers seem to outweigh the cost of having to fix cases such as this one, where userspace is doing something silly. In this particular case, an early return from move_page_tables() is enough to fix the issue.

2022-04-07mm/rmap: Fix handling of hugetlbfs pages in page_vma_mapped_walkzhenwei pi
page_mapped_in_vma() sets nr_pages to 1, which is usually correct as we only want to know about the precise page and not about other pages in the folio. However, hugetlbfs does want to know about the entire hpage, and using nr_pages to get the size of the hpage is wrong. We could change page_mapped_in_vma() to special-case hugetlbfs pages, but it's better to ignore nr_pages in page_vma_mapped_walk() and get the size from the VMA instead.

2022-04-06mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objectsOliver Glitta
Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays. Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once. Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle. Use stackdepot to save stack trace. The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate per-cache statistics in the following patch using the stackdepot handle instead of matching stacks manually.

The problem of unconditional memory overhead by stackdepot has been addressed by commit 2dba5eb1c73b ("lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()"), so the dependency on stackdepot will result in extra memory usage only when a slab cache tracking is actually enabled, and not for all CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG builds.

2022-04-06lib/stackdepot: allow requesting early initialization dynamicallyVlastimil Babka
In a later patch we want to add stackdepot support for object owner tracking in slub caches, which is enabled by slub_debug boot parameter. This creates a bootstrap problem as some caches are created early in boot when slab_is_available() is false and thus stack_depot_init() tries to use memblock. But, as reported by Hyeonggon Yoo [1] we are already beyond memblock_free_all(). Ideally memblock allocation should fail, yet it succeeds, but later the system crashes, which is a separately handled issue. To resolve this boostrap issue in a robust way, this patch adds another way to request stack_depot_early_init(), which happens at a well-defined point of time. In addition to build-time CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT, code that's e.g. processing boot parameters (which happens early enough) can call a new function stack_depot_want_early_init(), which sets a flag that stack_depot_early_init() will check. In this patch we also convert page_owner to this approach. While it doesn't have the bootstrap issue as slub, it's also a functionality enabled by a boot param and can thus request stack_depot_early_init() with memblock allocation instead of later initialization with kvmalloc(). As suggested by Mike, make stack_depot_early_init() only attempt memblock allocation and stack_depot_init() only attempt kvmalloc(). Also change the latter to kvcalloc(). In both cases we can lose the explicit array zeroing, which the allocations do already. As suggested by Marco, provide empty implementations of the init functions for !CONFIG_STACKDEPOT builds to simplify the callers.

2022-04-01mm/damon: prevent activated scheme from sleeping by deactivated schemesJonghyeon Kim
In the DAMON, the minimum wait time of the schemes decides whether the kernel wakes up 'kdamon_fn()'. But since the minimum wait time is initialized to zero, there are corner cases against the original objective. For example, if we have several schemes for one target, and if the wait time of the first scheme is zero, the minimum wait time will set zero, which means 'kdamond_fn()' should wake up to apply this scheme. However, in the following scheme, wait time can be set to non-zero. Thus, the mininum wait time will be set to non-zero, which can cause sleeping this interval for 'kdamon_fn()' due to one deactivated last scheme. This commit prevents making DAMON monitoring inactive state due to other deactivated schemes.

2022-04-01mm,hwpoison: unmap poisoned page before invalidationRik van Riel
In some cases it appears the invalidation of a hwpoisoned page fails because the page is still mapped in another process. This can cause a program to be continuously restarted and die when it page faults on the page that was not invalidated. Avoid that problem by unmapping the hwpoisoned page when we find it. Another issue is that sometimes we end up oopsing in finish_fault, if the code tries to do something with the now-NULL vmf->page. I did not hit this error when submitting the previous patch because there are several opportunities for alloc_set_pte to bail out before accessing vmf->page, and that apparently happened on those systems, and most of the time on other systems, too. However, across several million systems that error does occur a handful of times a day. It can be avoided by returning VM_FAULT_NOPAGE which will cause do_read_fault to return before calling finish_fault.

2022-04-01mm/munlock: protect the per-CPU pagevec by a local_lock_tSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The access to mlock_pvec is protected by disabling preemption via get_cpu_var() or implicit by having preemption disabled by the caller (in mlock_page_drain() case). This breaks on PREEMPT_RT since folio_lruvec_lock_irq() acquires a sleeping lock in this section. Create struct mlock_pvec which consits of the local_lock_t and the pagevec. Acquire the local_lock() before accessing the per-CPU pagevec. Replace mlock_page_drain() with a _local() version which is invoked on the local CPU and acquires the local_lock_t and a _remote() version which uses the pagevec from a remote CPU which offline.

A wee bit flaky. follow_page_pte() used to have an lru_add_drain() per each page mlocked, and the test came to rely on accurate stats. The pagevec to be drained is different now, but still covered by lru_add_drain(); and, never mind the test, I believe it's in everyone's interest that a bulk faulting interface like populate_vma_page_range() or faultin_vma_page_range() should drain its local pagevecs at the end, to save others sometimes needing the much more expensive lru_add_drain_all(). This does not absolutely guarantee exact stats - the mlocking task can be migrated between CPUs as it proceeds - but it's good enough and the tests pass.

2022-04-01Revert "mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise"Charan Teja Kalla
This reverts commit 08095d6310a7 ("mm: madvise: skip unmapped vma holes passed to process_madvise") as process_madvise() fails to return the exact processed bytes in other cases too. As an example: if process_madvise() hits mlocked pages after processing some initial bytes passed in [start, end), it just returns EINVAL although some bytes are processed. Thus making an exception only for ENOMEM is partially fixing the problem of returning the proper advised bytes. Thus revert this patch and return proper bytes advised.

When part of the user buffer passed to generic_perform_write() or iomap_file_buffered_write() cannot be faulted in for reading, the entire write currently fails. The correct behavior would be to write all the data that can be written, up to the point of failure. Commit a6294593e8a1 ("iov_iter: Turn iov_iter_fault_in_readable into fault_in_iov_iter_readable") gave us the information needed, so fix the page prefaulting in generic_perform_write() and iomap_write_iter() to only bail out when no pages could be faulted in. We already factor in that pages that are faulted in may no longer be resident by the time they are accessed. Paging out pages has the same effect as not faulting in those pages in the first place, so the code can already deal with that.

2022-03-24mm: madvise: MADV_DONTNEED_LOCKEDJohannes Weiner
MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use cases for depopulating locked ranges as well. Users mlock memory to protect secrets. There are allocators for secure buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and invalidated memory to give up the physical pages. This could be done with explicit munlock -> mlock calls on free -> alloc of course, but that adds two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages. Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are okay with on-demand initial population. It seems valid to selectively free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to mess with its overall policy. Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase? - MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior now could lead to quiet data corruption. - It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later. - The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't change the default behavior because of the two previous points. Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.
