mm: remove offlining arg to migrate_pages
No functional change, but the only purpose of the offlining argument to migrate_pages() etc, was to ensure that __unmap_and_move() could migrate a KSM page for memory hotremove (which took ksm_thread_mutex) but not for other callers. Now all cases are safe, remove the arg.

ksm: enable KSM page migration
Migration of KSM pages is now safe: remove the PageKsm restrictions from mempolicy.c and migrate.c. But keep PageKsm out of __unmap_and_move()'s anon_vma contortions, which are irrelevant to KSM: it looks as if that code was preventing hotremove migration of KSM pages, unless they happened to be in swapcache. There is some question as to whether enforcing a NUMA mempolicy migration ought to migrate KSM pages, mapped into entirely unrelated processes; but moving page_mapcount > 1 is only permitted with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL anyway, and it seems reasonable to assume that you wouldn't set MADV_MERGEABLE on any area where this is a worry.

mm: rename page struct field helpers
The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

tmpfs mempolicy: fix /proc/mounts corrupting memory
Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA
mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts
or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often
in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad
pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere
worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic.
Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35,

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma
Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships
Note: This two-stage filter was taken directly from the sched/numa patch "sched, numa, mm: Add the scanning page fault machinery" but is only a partial extraction. As the end result is not necessarily recognisable, the signed-offs-by had to be removed. Will be added back if requested. While it is desirable that all threads in a process run on its home node, this is not always possible or necessary. There may be more threads than exist within the node or the node might over-subscribed with unrelated processes. This can cause a situation whereby a page gets migrated off its home node because the threads clearing pte_numa were running off-node. This patch uses page->last_nid to build a two-stage filter before pages get migrated to avoid problems with short or unlikely task<->node relationships. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> |

mm: numa: Add pte updates, hinting and migration stats
It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part of a basic costing model. u = basic unit = sizeof(void *) Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock) where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a lock Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000 Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost of the locking operation Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma) where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2 would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates + Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults + Ci * numa_pages_migrated + Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill. The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0. convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults where this is measured for the last N number of numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully converged the value is 1. This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is doing it.

mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_MF_LAZY
NOTE: Once again there is a lot of patch stealing and the end result is sufficiently different that I had to drop the signed-offs. Will re-add if the original authors are ok with that. This patch adds another mbind() flag to request "lazy migration". The flag, MPOL_MF_LAZY, modifies MPOL_MF_MOVE* such that the selected pages are marked PROT_NONE. The pages will be migrated in the fault path on "first touch", if the policy dictates at that time. "Lazy Migration" will allow testing of migrate-on-fault via mbind(). Also allows applications to specify that only subsequently touched pages be migrated to obey new policy, instead of all pages in range. This can be useful for multi-threaded applications working on a large shared data area that is initialized by an initial thread resulting in all pages on one [or a few, if overflowed] nodes. After PROT_NONE, the pages in regions assigned to the worker threads will be automatically migrated local to the threads on 1st touch.

mm: mempolicy: Check for misplaced page
This patch provides a new function to test whether a page resides on a node that is appropriate for the mempolicy for the vma and address where the page is supposed to be mapped. This involves looking up the node where the page belongs. So, the function returns that node so that it may be used to allocated the page without consulting the policy again. A subsequent patch will call this function from the fault path. Because of this, I don't want to go ahead and allocate the page, e.g., via alloc_page_vma() only to have to free it if it has the correct policy. So, I just mimic the alloc_page_vma() node computation logic--sort of. Note: we could use this function to implement a MPOL_MF_STRICT behavior when migrating pages to match mbind() mempolicy--e.g., to ensure that pages in an interleaved range are reinterleaved rather than left where they are when they reside on any page in the interleave nodemask.

mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_NOOP
This patch augments the MPOL_MF_LAZY feature by adding a "NOOP" policy to mbind(). When the NOOP policy is used with the 'MOVE and 'LAZY flags, mbind() will map the pages PROT_NONE so that they will be migrated on the next touch. This allows an application to prepare for a new phase of operation where different regions of shared storage will be assigned to worker threads, w/o changing policy. Note that we could just use "default" policy in this case. However, this also allows an application to request that pages be migrated, only if necessary, to follow any arbitrary policy that might currently apply to a range of pages, without knowing the policy, or without specifying multiple mbind()s for ranges with different policies.

mm, mempolicy: fix printing stack contents in numa_maps
When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets freed from beneath us. This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored. There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str(): - if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored, and - if the mempolicy has an invalid mode. The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this is sufficient for the string to be written. A future patch should convert this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but that's not -rc material. The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read(). The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns -EINVAL. This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true. The exit path does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead. Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it. Callers with a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

The problem is that the structure is being prematurely freed due to a
reference count imbalance. In the following case mbind(addr, len) should
replace the memory policies of both vma1 and vma2 and thus they will
become to share the same mempolicy and the new mempolicy will have the
MPOL_F_SHARED flag.
+-------------------+-------------------+
| vma1 | vma2(shmem) |
+-------------------+-------------------+
| |
addr addr+len
alloc_pages_vma() uses get_vma_policy() and mpol_cond_put() pair for
maintaining the mempolicy reference count. The current rule is that
get_vma_policy() only increments refcount for shmem VMA and
mpol_conf_put() only decrements refcount if the policy has
MPOL_F_SHARED.
In above case, vma1 is not shmem vma and vma->policy has MPOL_F_SHARED!
The reference count will be decreased even though was not increased
whenever alloc_page_vma() is called. This has been broken since commit

mm, mempolicy: fix mbind() to do synchronous migration
If the range passed to mbind() is not allocated on nodes set in the nodemask, it migrates the pages to respect the constraint. The final formal of migrate_pages() is a mode of type enum migrate_mode, not a boolean. do_mbind() is currently passing "true" which is the equivalent of MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. This should instead be MIGRATE_SYNC for synchronous page migration. Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

slab/mempolicy: always use local policy from interrupt context
slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context. However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy is first freed and then the pointer zeroed. Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change. Just disable this here and always use local for slab from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit which always passed the same argument. I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact, so it's likely a regression. v2: send version with correct logic v3: simplify. fix typo.

mm: do_migrate_pages() calls migrate_to_node() even if task is already on a correct node
While running an application that moves tasks from one cpuset to another I noticed that it takes much longer and moves many more pages than expected. The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does its best to preserve the relative node differential from the first node of the cpuset because the application may have been written with that in mind. If memory was interleaved on the nodes of the source cpuset by an application do_migrate_pages() will try its best to maintain that interleaving on the nodes of the destination cpuset. This means copying the memory from all source nodes to the destination nodes even if the source and destination nodes overlap. This is a problem for userspace NUMA placement tools. The amount of time spent doing extra memory moves cancels out some of the NUMA performance improvements. Furthermore, if the number of source and destination nodes are to maintain the previous interleaving layout anyway. This patch changes do_migrate_pages() to only preserve the relative layout inside the program if the number of NUMA nodes in the source and destination mask are the same. If the number is different, we do a much more efficient migration by not touching memory that is in an allowed node. This preserves the old behaviour for programs that want it, while allowing a userspace NUMA placement tool to use the new, faster migration. This improves performance in our tests by up to a factor of 7. Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate from ALL the nodes even if they are in the both the source and destination nodesets: Migrating 7 to 4 Migrating 6 to 3 Migrating 5 to 4 Migrating 4 to 3 Migrating 1 to 4 Migrating 3 to 4 Migrating 0 to 3 Migrating 2 to 3 With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the destination nodesets: Migrating 7 to 4 Migrating 6 to 3 Migrating 5 to 4 Migrating 2 to 3 Migrating 1 to 4 Migrating 0 to 3 Yet if we move from a cpuset containing nodes 2,3,4 to a cpuset containing 3,4,5 we still do move everything so that we preserve the desired NUMA offsets: Migrating 4 to 5 Migrating 3 to 4 Migrating 2 to 3 As far as performance is concerned this simple patch improves the time it takes to move 14, 20 and 26 large tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 1 & 3 by up to a factor of 7.

This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
mbind().
mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary. In the event of splits,
mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
reference counts whose rules are documented in
Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .
The problem occurs with shared memory policies. The vm_op->set_policy
increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
leading to a premature free. This patch removes the damage caused by
policy_vma().
With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
minutes without error. /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.
Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct
Migration functions perform the rcu_read_unlock too early. As a result the task pointed to may change from under us. This can result in an oops, as reported by Dave Hansen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/302. The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the permissions checks are done. We also take a refcount so that the task reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex). The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no change to the refcounts held during page migration. Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual migration. Since the determination is only done once and we then no longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific address space that will not change from under us.

mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

set_pmd_at
// Here we set the page's PMD entry which will be cleared
// when Thread A calls pmd_clear_bad().
...
spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)
The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
it in shared mode (down_read). Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A
does not synchronize on that lock.

vm: avoid using find_vma_prev() unnecessarily
Several users of "find_vma_prev()" were not in fact interested in the
previous vma if there was no primary vma to be found either. And in
those cases, we're much better off just using the regular "find_vma()",
and then "prev" can be looked up by just checking vma->vm_prev.
The find_vma_prev() semantics are fairly subtle (see Mikulas' recent

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.
