drivers/base/memory.c: fix show_mem_removable() to handle missing sections

2013-09-08T04:49:32+00:00

commit 21ea9f5ace3a7317cc3ba1fbc749758021a83136 upstream. "cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system. The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page))) to blow up. Why is it passing in a bad pfn? The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block times. sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8, indicating holes in this memory block. Checking that the memory section is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable fixes the problem. harp5-sys:~ # cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea00c3200000 IP: [] is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x1/0x90 PGD 83ffd4067 PUD 37bdfce067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: autofs4 binfmt_misc rdma_ucm rdma_cm iw_cm ib_addr ib_srp scsi_transport_srp scsi_tgt ib_ipoib ib_cm ib_uverbs ib_umad iw_cxgb3 cxgb3 mdio mlx4_en mlx4_ib ib_sa mlx4_core ib_mthca ib_mad ib_core fuse nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat joydev loop hid_generic usbhid hid hwperf(O) numatools(O) dm_mod iTCO_wdt ipv6 iTCO_vendor_support igb i2c_i801 ioatdma i2c_algo_bit ehci_pci pcspkr lpc_ich i2c_core ehci_hcd ptp sg mfd_core dca rtc_cmos pps_core mperf button xhci_hcd sd_mod crc_t10dif usbcore usb_common scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_hp_sw scsi_dh_alua scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh gru(O) xvma(O) xfs crc32c libcrc32c thermal sata_nv processor piix mptsas mptscsih scsi_transport_sas mptbase megaraid_sas fan thermal_sys hwmon ext3 jbd ata_piix ahci libahci libata scsi_mod CPU: 4 PID: 5991 Comm: cat Tainted: G O 3.11.0-rc5-rja-uv+ #10 Hardware name: SGI UV2000/ROMLEY, BIOS SGI UV 2000/3000 series BIOS 01/15/2013 task: ffff88081f034580 ti: ffff880820022000 task.ti: ffff880820022000 RIP: 0010:[] [] is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x1/0x90 RSP: 0018:ffff880820023df8 EFLAGS: 00010287 RAX: 0000000000040000 RBX: ffffea00c3200000 RCX: 0000000000000004 RDX: ffffea00c30b0000 RSI: 00000000001c0000 RDI: ffffea00c3200000 RBP: ffff880820023e38 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffffea00c33c0000 R13: 0000160000000000 R14: 6db6db6db6db6db7 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007ffff7fb2700(0000) GS:ffff88083fc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffffea00c3200000 CR3: 000000081b954000 CR4: 00000000000407e0 Call Trace: show_mem_removable+0x41/0x70 dev_attr_show+0x2a/0x60 sysfs_read_file+0xf7/0x1c0 vfs_read+0xc8/0x130 SyS_read+0x5d/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson Cc: "Rafael J.

mm: memory hotplug: Check if pages are correctly reserved on a per-section basis

2012-08-01T19:26:55+00:00

commit 2bbcb8788311a40714b585fc11b51da6ffa2ab92 upstream. Stable note: Fixes https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=721039 . Without the patch, memory hot-add can fail for kernel configurations that do not set CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. (Resending as I am not seeing it in -next so maybe it got lost) mm: memory hotplug: Check if pages are correctly reserved on a per-section basis It is expected that memory being brought online is PageReserved similar to what happens when the page allocator is being brought up. Memory is onlined in "memory blocks" which consist of one or more sections. Unfortunately, the code that verifies PageReserved is currently assuming that the memmap backing all these pages is virtually contiguous which is only the case when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set. As a result, memory hot-add is failing on those configurations with the message; kernel: section number XXX page number 256 not reserved, was it already online? This patch updates the PageReserved check to lookup struct page once per section to guarantee the correct struct page is being checked.

memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than PAGES_PER_SECTION

2011-05-11T22:19:27+00:00

On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to memory_section_action. This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB region takes: # time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state 7.9s This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail part way through. The same test to offline one region now takes: # time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state 0.67s Over 11 times faster.

memory hotplug: sysfs probe routine should add all memory sections

2011-02-04T00:08:58+00:00

As a follow-on to the recent patches I submitted that allowed for a sysfs memory block to span multiple memory sections, we should also update the probe routine to online all of the memory sections in a memory block. Without this patch the current code will only add a single memory section. I think the probe routine should add all of the memory sections in the specified memory block so that its behavior is in line with memory hotplug actions through the sysfs interfaces. This patch applies on top of the previous sysfs memory updates to allow a sysfs directory o span multiple memory sections. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/20/245 Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

memory hotplug: Update phys_index to [start|end]_section_nr

2011-02-04T00:08:57+00:00

Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property. The data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number that the memory block spans. The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking anything in userspace. This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory block structure name changes (start_section_nr). This requires an additional parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory section of the memory block to unregister.
