2020-04-07hv_balloon: don't check for memhp_auto_online manuallyDavid Hildenbrand
We get the MEM_ONLINE notifier call if memory is added right from the kernel via add_memory() or later from user space. Let's get rid of the "ha_waiting" flag - the wait event has an inbuilt mechanism (->done) for that. Initialize the wait event only once and reinitialize before adding memory. Unconditionally call complete() and wait_for_completion_timeout(). If there are no waiters, complete() will only increment ->done - which will be reset by reinit_completion(). If complete() has already been called, wait_for_completion_timeout() will not wait. There is still the chance for a small race between concurrent reinit_completion() and complete(). If complete() wins, we would not wait - which is tolerable (and the race exists in current code as well). Note: We only wait for "some" memory to get onlined, which seems to be good enough for now.

2020-01-25hv_balloon: Balloon up according to request page numberTianyu Lan
Current code has assumption that balloon request memory size aligns with 2MB. But actually Hyper-V doesn't guarantee such alignment. When balloon driver receives non-aligned balloon request, it produces warning and balloon up more memory than requested in order to keep 2MB alignment. Remove the warning and balloon up memory according to actual requested memory size.

When freeing pages are done with higher order, time spent on coalescing pages by buddy allocator can be reduced. With section size of 256MB, hot add latency of a single section shows improvement from 50-60 ms to less than 1 ms, hence improving the hot add latency by 60 times.

2019-01-09hv_balloon: avoid touching uninitialized struct page during tail onliningVitaly Kuznetsov
Hyper-V memory hotplug protocol has 2M granularity and in Linux x86 we use 128M. To deal with it we implement partial section onlining by registering custom page onlining callback (hv_online_page()). Later, when more memory arrives we try to online the 'tail' (see hv_bring_pgs_online()). It was found that in some cases this 'tail' onlining causes issues: BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/0:2 pfn:109e3a page:ffffe08344278e80 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 flags: 0xfffff80000000() raw: 000fffff80000000 dead000000000100 dead000000000200 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero mapcount ...

Turns out that we now have deferred struct page initialization for memory hotplug so e.g. memory_block_action() in drivers/base/memory.c does pages_correctly_probed() check and in that check it avoids inspecting struct pages and checks sections instead. But in Hyper-V balloon driver we do PageReserved(pfn_to_page()) check and this is now wrong. Switch to checking online_section_nr() instead.

Our num_pages_onlined accounting is buggy: 1) In case we're offlining a memory block which was present at boot (e.g. when there was no hotplug at all) we subtract 32k from 0 and as num_pages_onlined is unsigned get a very big positive number. 2) Commit 6df8d9aaf3af ("Drivers: hv: balloon: Correctly update onlined page count") made num_pages_onlined counter accurate on onlining but totally incorrect on offlining for partly populated regions: no matter how many pages were onlined and what was actually added to num_pages_onlined counter we always subtract the full region (32k) so again, num_pages_onlined can wrap around zero. By onlining/offlining the same partly populated region multiple times we can make the situation worse.

2016-08-31Drivers: hv: balloon: replace ha_region_mutex with spinlockVitaly Kuznetsov
lockdep reports possible circular locking dependency when udev is used for memory onlining: systemd-udevd/3996 is trying to acquire lock: ((memory_chain).rwsem){++++.+}, at: [<ffffffff810d137e>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x4e/0xc0 but task is already holding lock: (&dm_device.ha_region_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa015382e>] hv_memory_notifier+0x5e/0xc0 [hv_balloon] ... which is probably a false positive because we take and release ha_region_mutex from memory notifier chain depending on the arg. No real deadlocks were reported so far (though I'm not really sure about preemptible kernels...) but we don't really need to hold the mutex for so long. We use it to protect ha_region_list (and its members) and the num_pages_onlined counter. None of these operations require us to sleep and nothing is slow, switch to using spinlock with interrupts disabled. While on it, replace list_for_each -> list_for_each_entry as we actually need entries in all these cases, drop meaningless list_empty() checks.

2016-08-31Drivers: hv: balloon: account for gaps in hot add regionsVitaly Kuznetsov
I'm observing the following hot add requests from the WS2012 host: hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x108200 count = 330752 hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x158e00 count = 193536 hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x188400 count = 239616 As the host doesn't specify hot add regions we're trying to create 128Mb-aligned region covering the first request, we create the 0x108000 - 0x160000 region and we add 0x108000 - 0x158e00 memory. The second request passes the pfn_covered() check, we enlarge the region to 0x108000 - 0x190000 and add 0x158e00 - 0x188200 memory. The problem emerges with the third request as it starts at 0x188400 so there is a 0x200 gap which is not covered. As the end of our region is 0x190000 now it again passes the pfn_covered() check were we just adjust the covered_end_pfn and make it 0x188400 instead of 0x188200 which means that we'll try to online 0x188200-0x188400 pages but these pages were never assigned to us and we crash. We can't react to such requests by creating new hot add regions as it may happen that the whole suggested range falls into the previously identified 128Mb-aligned area so we'll end up adding nothing or create intersecting regions and our current logic doesn't allow that. Instead, create a list of such 'gaps' and check for them in the page online callback. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

2016-08-31Drivers: hv: balloon: keep track of where ha_region startsVitaly Kuznetsov
Windows 2012 (non-R2) does not specify hot add region in hot add requests and the logic in hot_add_req() is trying to find a 128Mb-aligned region covering the request. It may also happen that host's requests are not 128Mb aligned and the created ha_region will start before the first specified PFN. We can't online these non-present pages but we don't remember the real start of the region. This is a regression introduced by the commit 5abbbb75d733 ("Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not natural"). While the idea of keeping the 'moving window' was wrong (as there is no guarantee that hot add requests come ordered) we should still keep track of covered_start_pfn.

When we iterate through all HA regions in handle_pg_range() we have an assumption that all these regions are sorted in the list and the 'start_pfn >= has->end_pfn' check is enough to find the proper region. Unfortunately it's not the case with WS2016 where host can hot-add regions in a different order. We end up modifying the wrong HA region and crashing later on pages online.

MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE case Memory notifiers are being executed in a sequential order and when one of them fails returning something different from NOTIFY_OK the remainder of the notification chain is not being executed. When a memory block is being onlined in online_pages() we do memory_notify(MEM_GOING_ONLINE, ) and if one of the notifiers in the chain fails we end up doing memory_notify(MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE, ) so it is possible for a notifier to see MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE without seeing the corresponding MEM_GOING_ONLINE event. E.g. when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the kasan_mem_notifier() is being used to prevent memory hotplug, it returns NOTIFY_BAD for all MEM_GOING_ONLINE events. As kasan_mem_notifier() comes before the hv_memory_notifier() in the notification chain we don't see the MEM_GOING_ONLINE event and we do not take the ha_region_mutex. We, however, see the MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE event and unconditionally try to release the lock, the following is observed: [ 110.850927] ===================================== [ 110.850927] [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] [ 110.850927] 4.1.0-rc3_bugxxxxxxx_test_xxxx #595 Not tainted [ 110.850927] ------------------------------------- [ 110.850927] systemd-udevd/920 is trying to release lock (&dm_device.ha_region_mutex) at: [ 110.850927] [<ffffffff81acda0e>] mutex_unlock+0xe/0x10 [ 110.850927] but there are no more locks to release!

2015-04-03Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: survive ballooning request with num_pages=0Vitaly Kuznetsov
... and simplify alloc_balloon_pages() interface by removing redundant alloc_error from it. If we happen to enter balloon_up() with balloon_wrk.num_pages = 0 we will enter infinite 'while (!done)' loop as alloc_balloon_pages() will be always returning 0 and not setting alloc_error. We will also be sending a meaningless message to the host on every iteration. The 'alloc_unit == 1 && alloc_error -> num_ballooned == 0' change and alloc_error elimination requires a special comment. We do alloc_balloon_pages() with 2 different alloc_unit values and there are 4 different alloc_balloon_pages() results, let's check them all. alloc_unit = 512: 1) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error = 0: we do 'alloc_unit=1' and retry pre- and post-patch. 2) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error = 0: we check 'num_ballooned == num_pages' and act accordingly, pre- and post-patch. 3) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error > 0: we report this chunk and remain within the loop, no changes here. 4) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error > 0: we do 'alloc_unit=1' and retry pre- and post-patch. alloc_unit = 1: 1) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error = 0: this can happen in two cases: when we passed 'num_pages=0' to alloc_balloon_pages() or when there was no space in bl_resp to place a single response. The second option is not possible as bl_resp is of PAGE_SIZE size and single response 'union dm_mem_page_range' is 8 bytes, but the first one is (in theory, I think that Hyper-V host never places such requests). Pre-patch code loops forever, post-patch code sends a reply with more_pages = 0 and finishes. 2) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error = 0: we ran out of space in bl_resp, we report partial success and remain within the loop, no changes pre- and post-patch. 3) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error > 0: pre-patch code finishes, post-patch code does one more try and if there is no progress (we finish with 'num_ballooned = 0') we finish. So we try a bit harder with this patch. 4) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error > 0: both pre- and post-patch code enter 'more_pages = 0' branch and finish. So this patch has two real effects: 1) We reply with an empty response to 'num_pages=0' request. 2) We try a bit harder on alloc_unit=1 allocations (and reply with an empty tail reply in case we fail). An empty reply should be supported by host as we were able to send it even with pre-patch code when we were not able to allocate a single page.

Currently we add memory in 128Mb blocks but the request from host can be aligned differently. In such case we add a partially backed block and when this block goes online we skip onlining pages which are not backed (hv_online_page() callback serves this purpose). When we receive next request for the same host add region we online pages which were not backed before with hv_bring_pgs_online(). However, we don't check if the the block in question was onlined and online this tail unconditionally. This is bad as we avoid all online_pages() logic: these pages are not accounted, we don't send notifications (and hv_balloon is not the only receiver of them),... And, first of all, nobody asked as to online these pages. Solve the issue by checking if the last previously backed page was onlined and onlining the tail only in case it was.

2015-03-25Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not naturalVitaly Kuznetsov
Memory blocks can be onlined in random order. When this order is not natural some memory pages are not onlined because of the redundant check in hv_online_page(). Here is a real world scenario: 1) Host tries to hot-add the following (process_hot_add): pg_start=rg_start=0x48000, pfn_cnt=111616, rg_size=262144 2) This results in adding 4 memory blocks: [ 109.057866] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x48000000-0x4fffffff] [ 114.102698] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x50000000-0x57ffffff] [ 119.168039] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x58000000-0x5fffffff] [ 124.233053] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000-0x67ffffff] The last one is incomplete but we have special has->covered_end_pfn counter to avoid onlining non-backed frames and hv_bring_pgs_online() function to bring them online later on. 3) Now we have 4 offline memory blocks: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9-12 $ for f in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do echo $f `cat $f`; done | grep -v onlin /sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/state offline /sys/devices/system/memory/memory11/state offline /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state offline /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state offline 4) We bring them online in non-natural order: $grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 966348 kB $echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state && grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1019596 kB $echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory11/state && grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1150668 kB $echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state && grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1150668 kB As you can see memory9 block gives us zero additional memory. We can also observe a huge discrepancy between host- and guest-reported memory sizes. The root cause of the issue is the redundant pg >= covered_start_pfn check (and covered_start_pfn advancing) in hv_online_page(). When upper memory block in being onlined before the lower one (memory12 and memory11 in the above case) we advance the covered_start_pfn pointer and all memory9 pages do not pass the check. If the assumption that host always gives us requests in sequential order and pg_start always equals rg_start when the first request for the new HA region is received (that's the case in my testing) is correct than we can get rid of covered_start_pfn and pg >= start_pfn check in hv_online_page() is sufficient.

This could be solved by changing complete() -> complete_all() memory onlining can be delayed as well, in that case we can still get several hv_memory_notifier() runners at the same time trying to grab the mutex. Only one of them will succeed and the others will hang for forever as complete() is not being called.
