HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

2017-09-08mm: thp: check pmd migration entry in common pathZi Yan
When THP migration is being used, memory management code needs to handle pmd migration entries properly. This patch uses !pmd_present() or is_swap_pmd() (depending on whether pmd_none() needs separate code or not) to check pmd migration entries at the places where a pmd entry is present. Since pmd-related code uses split_huge_page(), split_huge_pmd(), pmd_trans_huge(), pmd_trans_unstable(), or pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), this patch: 1. adds pmd migration entry split code in split_huge_pmd(), 2. takes care of pmd migration entries whenever pmd_trans_huge() is present, 3. makes pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() pmd migration entry aware. Since split_huge_page() uses split_huge_pmd() and pmd_trans_unstable() is equivalent to pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), we do not change them. Until this commit, a pmd entry should be: 1. pointing to a pte page, 2. is_swap_pmd(), 3. pmd_trans_huge(), 4. pmd_devmap(), or 5. pmd_none().

2017-08-10mm: migrate: prevent racy access to tlb_flush_pendingNadav Amit
Patch series "fixes of TLB batching races", v6. It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various races. Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others. The more fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes the page-tables. This other core may assume a PTE change does not require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that TLB flushes are still pending. This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior). A proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED. Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and replacing the KSM page. Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect architectures with weak memory model. This patch (of 7): Setting and clearing mm->tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in task_numa_work(). If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes. This can lead to the same race between migration and change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of tlb_flush_pending. The result of this race was data corruption, which means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data corruption. An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.

2017-08-02mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim ↵Mel Gorman
leaving stale TLB entries Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

2017-07-06mm: drop NULL return check of pte_offset_map_lock()Naoya Horiguchi
pte_offset_map_lock() finds and takes ptl, and returns pte. But some callers return without unlocking the ptl when pte == NULL, which seems weird. Git history said that !pte check in change_pte_range() was introduced in commit 1ad9f620c3a2 ("mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock during protection changes") and still remains after commit 175ad4f1e7a2 ("mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lock") which partially reverts 1ad9f620c3a2. So I think that it's just dead code. Many other caller of pte_offset_map_lock() never check NULL return, so let's do likewise.

2017-02-24mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed ↵Aneesh Kumar K.V
in a protnone pte. Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2. This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma preserve write feature. migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal with concurrent modification of the page. It does a page copy without following the migration pte sequence. IIUC, this was done to keep the migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme. That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page content. This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that. We are good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte. This patch (of 2): Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106ea " mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault"). Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte. Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour. Fix this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a protnone pte.

2017-02-22mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lockAndrea Arcangeli
pmd_trans_unstable does an atomic read on the pmd so it doesn't require the pmd_lock for the same check. This also removes the special assumption that the mmap_sem is hold for writing if prot_numa is not set. userfaultfd will hold the mmap_sem only for reading in change_pte_range like prot_numa, but it will not set prot_numa. This is always a valid micro-optimization regardless of userfaultfd.

Having code for the pkey_mprotect, pkey_alloc and pkey_free system calls makes only sense if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected. If not selected these system calls will always return -ENOSPC or -EINVAL. To simplify things and have less code generate the pkey system call code only if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected. For architectures which have already wired up the system calls, but do not select ARCH_HAS_PKEYS this will result in less generated code and a different return code: the three system calls will now always return -ENOSYS, using the cond_syscall mechanism. For architectures which have not wired up the system calls less unreachable code will be generated.

This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(), which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part of an unlikely() branch.

2016-12-12mm/mprotect.c: don't touch single threaded PTEs which are on the right nodeAndi Kleen
We had some problems with pages getting unmapped in single threaded affinitized processes. It was tracked down to NUMA scanning. In this case it doesn't make any sense to unmap pages if the process is single threaded and the page is already on the node the process is running on. Add a check for this case into the numa protection code, and skip unmapping if true. In theory the process could be migrated later, but we will eventually rescan and unmap and migrate then. In theory this could be made more fancy: remembering this state per process or even whole mm. However that would need extra tracking and be more complicated, and the simple check seems to work fine so far. [ak@linux.intel.com: v3: Minor updates from Mel.

2016-10-07mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walkAndrea Arcangeli
The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the pte/pmd manipulations). So it's not safe to wait the caller to update the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks. The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks. The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma. migrate mprotect ------------ ------------- migrating in "next" vma vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and # extends "current" vma # current vma is not with # vm_page_prot updated remove_migration_ptes read vm_page_prot of current "vma" establish pte with wrong permissions vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late! change_protection in the old vma range only, next range is not updated This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction in the background. Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger, in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen. This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN to: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully. It has the added benefits that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range, as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before releasing the rmap_locks).

2016-09-09x86/pkeys: Allocation/free syscallsDave Hansen
This patch adds two new system calls: int pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long init_access_rights) int pkey_free(int pkey); These implement an "allocator" for the protection keys themselves, which can be thought of as analogous to the allocator that the kernel has for file descriptors. The kernel tracks which numbers are in use, and only allows operations on keys that are valid. A key which was not obtained by pkey_alloc() may not, for instance, be passed to pkey_mprotect(). These system calls are also very important given the kernel's use of pkeys to implement execute-only support. These help ensure that userspace can never assume that it has control of a key unless it first asks the kernel. The kernel does not promise to preserve PKRU (right register) contents except for allocated pkeys. The 'init_access_rights' argument to pkey_alloc() specifies the rights that will be established for the returned pkey. For instance: pkey = pkey_alloc(flags, PKEY_DENY_WRITE); will allocate 'pkey', but also sets the bits in PKRU[1] such that writing to 'pkey' is already denied. The kernel does not prevent pkey_free() from successfully freeing in-use pkeys (those still assigned to a memory range by pkey_mprotect()). It would be expensive to implement the checks for this, so we instead say, "Just don't do it" since sane software will never do it anyway. Any piece of userspace calling pkey_alloc() needs to be prepared for it to fail. Why? pkey_alloc() returns the same error code (ENOSPC) when there are no pkeys and when pkeys are unsupported. They can be unsupported for a whole host of reasons, so apps must be prepared for this. Also, libraries or LD_PRELOADs might steal keys before an application gets access to them. This allocation mechanism could be implemented in userspace. Even if we did it in userspace, we would still need additional user/kernel interfaces to tell userspace which keys are being used by the kernel internally (such as for execute-only mappings). Having the kernel provide this facility completely removes the need for these additional interfaces, or having an implementation of this in userspace at all. Note that we have to make changes to all of the architectures that do not use mman-common.h because we use the new PKEY_DENY_ACCESS/WRITE macros in arch-independent code. 1. PKRU is the Protection Key Rights User register. It is a usermode-accessible register that controls whether writes and/or access to each individual pkey is allowed or denied.

2016-09-09x86/pkeys: Make mprotect_key() mask off additional vm_flagsDave Hansen
Today, mprotect() takes 4 bits of data: PROT_READ/WRITE/EXEC/NONE. Three of those bits: READ/WRITE/EXEC get translated directly in to vma->vm_flags by calc_vm_prot_bits(). If a bit is unset in mprotect()'s 'prot' argument then it must be cleared in vma->vm_flags during the mprotect() call. We do this clearing today by first calculating the VMA flags we want set, then clearing the ones we do not want to inherit from the original VMA: vm_flags = calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, key); ... newflags = vm_flags; newflags |= (vma->vm_flags & ~(VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC)); However, we *also* want to mask off the original VMA's vm_flags in which we store the protection key. To do that, this patch adds a new macro: ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS which allows the architecture to specify additional bits that it would like cleared. We use that to ensure that the VM_PKEY_BIT* bits get cleared.

2016-09-09mm: Implement new pkey_mprotect() system callDave Hansen
pkey_mprotect() is just like mprotect, except it also takes a protection key as an argument. On systems that do not support protection keys, it still works, but requires that key=0. Otherwise it does exactly what mprotect does. I expect it to get used like this, if you want to guarantee that any mapping you create can *never* be accessed without the right protection keys set up. int real_prot = PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE; pkey = pkey_alloc(0, PKEY_DENY_ACCESS); ptr = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); ret = pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, real_prot, pkey); This way, there is *no* window where the mapping is accessible since it was always either PROT_NONE or had a protection key set that denied all access. We settled on 'unsigned long' for the type of the key here. We only need 4 bits on x86 today, but I figured that other architectures might need some more space. Semantically, we have a bit of a problem if we combine this syscall with our previously-introduced execute-only support: What do we do when we mix execute-only pkey use with pkey_mprotect() use? For instance: pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE, 6); // set pkey=6 mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_EXEC); // set pkey=X_ONLY_PKEY? mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE); // is pkey=6 again? To solve that, we make the plain-mprotect()-initiated execute-only support only apply to VMAs that have the default protection key (0) set on them. Proposed semantics: 1. protection key 0 is special and represents the default, "unassigned" protection key. It is always allocated. 2. mprotect() never affects a mapping's pkey_mprotect()-assigned protection key. A protection key of 0 (even if set explicitly) represents an unassigned protection key. 2a. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) on a mapping with an assigned protection key may or may not result in a mapping with execute-only properties. pkey_mprotect() plus pkey_set() on all threads should be used to _guarantee_ execute-only semantics if this is not a strong enough semantic. 3. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) may result in an "execute-only" mapping. The kernel will internally attempt to allocate and dedicate a protection key for the purpose of execute-only mappings. This may not be possible in cases where there are no free protection keys available. It can also happen, of course, in situations where there is no hardware support for protection keys.

2016-05-23mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscallsMichal Hocko
This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim. Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully. I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really appreciated. As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all should have received the cover though). This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other way I have no objections. I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l 98 $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l 62 I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other places can be changed on top.

It focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after entering the syscall and they are not changing state before. Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to dismantle the OOM victim address space. The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the original non-killable semantic for now. vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

2016-03-22mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fsPiotr Kwapulinski
The mprotect(PROT_READ) fails when called by the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC binary on a memory mapped file located on non-exec fs. The mprotect does not check whether fs is _executable_ or not. The PROT_EXEC flag is set automatically even if a memory mapped file is located on non-exec fs. Fix it by checking whether a memory mapped file is located on a non-exec fs. If so the PROT_EXEC is not implied by the PROT_READ. The implementation uses the VM_MAYEXEC flag set properly in mmap. Now it is consistent with mmap. I did the isolated tests (PT_GNU_STACK X/NX, multiple VMAs, X/NX fs). I also patched the official 3.19.0-47-generic Ubuntu 14.04 kernel and it seems to work.

2016-02-18mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add execute-only protection keys supportDave Hansen
Protection keys provide new page-based protection in hardware. But, they have an interesting attribute: they only affect data accesses and never affect instruction fetches. That means that if we set up some memory which is set as "access-disabled" via protection keys, we can still execute from it. This patch uses protection keys to set up mappings to do just that. If a user calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this, and set a special protection key on the memory. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. I haven't found any userspace that does this today. With this facility in place, we expect userspace to move to use it eventually. Userspace _could_ start doing this today. Any PROT_EXEC calls get converted to PROT_READ inside the kernel, and would transparently be upgraded to "true" PROT_EXEC with this code. IOW, userspace never has to do any PROT_EXEC runtime detection. This feature provides enhanced protection against leaking executable memory contents. This helps thwart attacks which are attempting to find ROP gadgets on the fly. But, the security provided by this approach is not comprehensive. The PKRU register which controls access permissions is a normal user register writable from unprivileged userspace. An attacker who can execute the 'wrpkru' instruction can easily disable the protection provided by this feature. The protection key that is used for execute-only support is permanently dedicated at compile time. This is fine for now because there is currently no API to set a protection key other than this one. Despite there being a constant PKRU value across the entire system, we do not set it unless this feature is in use in a process. That is to preserve the PKRU XSAVE 'init state', which can lead to faster context switches. PKRU *is* a user register and the kernel is modifying it. That means that code doing: pkru = rdpkru() pkru |= 0x100; mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); wrpkru(pkru); could lose the bits in PKRU that enforce execute-only permissions. To avoid this, we suggest avoiding ever calling mmap() or mprotect() when the PKRU value is expected to be unstable.

The impact is obvious from the number of minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system CPU usage; autonumabench 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve Time System-NUMA01 107.13 ( 0.00%) 103.13 ( 3.73%) Time System-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 131.87 ( 0.00%) 83.30 ( 36.83%) Time System-NUMA02 8.95 ( 0.00%) 10.72 (-19.78%) Time System-NUMA02_SMT 4.57 ( 0.00%) 3.99 ( 12.69%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01 515.78 ( 0.00%) 517.26 ( -0.29%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 384.10 ( 0.00%) 384.31 ( -0.05%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02 48.86 ( 0.00%) 48.78 ( 0.16%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02_SMT 47.98 ( 0.00%) 48.12 ( -0.29%) 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve User 44383.95 43971.89 System 252.61 201.24 Elapsed 998.68 1000.94 Minor Faults 2597249 1981230 Major Faults 365 364 There is a similar drop in system CPU usage using Dave Chinner's xfsrepair workload 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve Amean real-xfsrepair 454.14 ( 0.00%) 442.36 ( 2.60%) Amean syst-xfsrepair 277.20 ( 0.00%) 204.68 ( 26.16%) The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was discarded.

2014-10-14mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY clearedPeter Feiner
For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

2014-04-07mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to change_pmd_rangeRik van Riel
The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM guest with lots of memory. This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM guests. This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings are first encountered. The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should never trigger this problem to begin with.

The race existed without the patch but was just harder to hit. The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL. It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check. This patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a race occurred. It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold mmap_sem for write.

2014-02-17mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bitAneesh Kumar K.V
Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of the PTE modification when necessary). ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs. Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks. The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with linux page table. We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal. We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid. This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption. Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

2013-12-18mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_rangeRik van Riel
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.

2013-12-18mm: numa: do not clear PTE for pte_numa updateMel Gorman
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.

2013-11-13mm: numa: return the number of base pages altered by protection changesMel Gorman
Commit 0255d4918480 ("mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE update") was added to account for the number of PTE updates when marking pages prot_numa. task_numa_work was using the old return value to track how much address space had been updated. Altering the return value causes the scanner to do more work than it is configured or documented to in a single unit of work. This patch reverts that commit and accounts for the number of THP updates separately in vmstat. It is up to the administrator to interpret the pair of values correctly. This is a straight-forward operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA balancing problems. The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower when THP is enabled and workloads may converge slower as a result. On the flip size system CPU usage should be lower than recent tests reported. This is an illustrative example of a short single JVM specjbb test specjbb 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanilla acctupdates TPut 1 26143.00 ( 0.00%) 25747.00 ( -1.51%) TPut 7 185257.00 ( 0.00%) 183202.00 ( -1.11%) TPut 13 329760.00 ( 0.00%) 346577.00 ( 5.10%) TPut 19 442502.00 ( 0.00%) 460146.00 ( 3.99%) TPut 25 540634.00 ( 0.00%) 549053.00 ( 1.56%) TPut 31 512098.00 ( 0.00%) 519611.00 ( 1.47%) TPut 37 461276.00 ( 0.00%) 474973.00 ( 2.97%) TPut 43 403089.00 ( 0.00%) 414172.00 ( 2.75%) 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanillaacctupdates User 5169.64 5184.14 System 100.45 80.02 Elapsed 252.75 251.85 Performance is similar but note the reduction in system CPU time.
