mm, hugetlb: allow for "high" userspace addresses

2022-04-27T12:38:57+00:00

commit 5f24d5a579d1eace79d505b148808a850b417d4c upstream. This is a fix for commit f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses") for hugetlb. This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap). Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function. However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function. So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(). To allow that, move those two macros out of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural changes to architectures that do not define them. For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change. Catalin (ARM64) said "We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we added support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to prevent normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default as some user-space had hard assumptions about this. It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent. Basically when arm64 gained support for 52-bit addresses we did not want user-space calling mmap() to suddenly get such high addresses, otherwise we could have inadvertently broken some programs (similar behaviour to x86 here). Hence we added commit f6795053dac8. But we missed hugetlbfs which could still get such high mmap() addresses. So in theory that's a potential regression that should have bee addressed at the same time as commit f6795053dac8 (and before arm64 enabled 52-bit addresses)" Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ab847b6edb197bffdfe189e70fb4ac76bfe79e0d.1650033747.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Fixes: f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses") Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas Cc: Steve Capper Cc: Will Deacon Cc: [5.0.x] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

memcg: replace in_interrupt() by !in_task() in active_memcg()

2021-09-03T16:58:13+00:00

set_active_memcg() uses in_interrupt() check to select proper storage for cgroup: pointer on task struct or per-cpu pointer. It isn't fully correct: obsoleted in_interrupt() includes tasks with disabled BH. It's better to use '!in_task()' instead.

mm: honor PF_MEMALLOC_PIN for all movable pages

2021-05-05T18:27:26+00:00

PF_MEMALLOC_PIN is only honored for CMA pages, extend this flag to work for any allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE by removing __GFP_MOVABLE from gfp_mask when this flag is passed in the current context. Add is_pinnable_page() to return true if page is in a pinnable page. A pinnable page is not in ZONE_MOVABLE and not of MIGRATE_CMA type.

mm cma: rename PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN

2021-05-05T18:27:26+00:00

PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done on any CMA pages. When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for long-term pins. Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions common.

include/linux/sched/mm.h: use rcu_dereference in in_vfork()

2021-03-13T19:27:30+00:00

Fix a sparse warning by using rcu_dereference(). Technically this is a bug and a sufficiently aggressive compiler could reload the `real_parent' pointer outside the protection of the rcu lock (and access freed memory), but I think it's pretty unlikely to happen.

mm: extract might_alloc() debug check

2020-12-15T20:13:41+00:00

Extracted from slab.h, which seems to have the most complete version including the correct might_sleep() check. Roll it out to slob.c. Motivated by a discussion with Paul about possibly changing call_rcu behaviour to allocate memory, but only roughly every 500th call. There are a lot fewer places in the kernel that care about whether allocating memory is allowed or not (due to deadlocks with reclaim code) than places that care whether sleeping is allowed. But debugging these also tends to be a lot harder, so nice descriptive checks could come in handy. I might have some use eventually for annotations in drivers/gpu. Note that unlike fs_reclaim_acquire/release gfpflags_allow_blocking does not consult the PF_MEMALLOC flags. But there is no flag equivalent for GFP_NOWAIT, hence this check can't go wrong due to memalloc_no*_save/restore contexts. Willy is working on a patch series which might change this: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200625113122.7540-7-willy@infradead.org/ I think best would be if that updates gfpflags_allow_blocking(), since there's a ton of callers all over the place for that already.

sched: fix exit_mm vs membarrier (v4)

2020-10-29T10:00:30+00:00

exit_mm should issue memory barriers after user-space memory accesses, before clearing current->mm, to order user-space memory accesses performed prior to exit_mm before clearing tsk->mm, which has the effect of skipping the membarrier private expedited IPIs. exit_mm should also update the runqueue's membarrier_state so membarrier global expedited IPIs are not sent when they are not needed. The membarrier system call can be issued concurrently with do_exit if we have thread groups created with CLONE_VM but not CLONE_THREAD. Here is the scenario I have in mind: Two thread groups are created, A and B. Thread group B is created by issuing clone from group A with flag CLONE_VM set, but not CLONE_THREAD. Let's assume we have a single thread within each thread group (Thread A and Thread B). The AFAIU we can have: Userspace variables: int x = 0, y = 0; CPU 0 CPU 1 Thread A Thread B (in thread group A) (in thread group B) x = 1 barrier() y = 1 exit() exit_mm() current->mm = NULL; r1 = load y membarrier() skips CPU 0 (no IPI) because its current mm is NULL r2 = load x BUG_ON(r1 == 1 && r2 == 0) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201020134715.13909-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com

mm: kmem: prepare remote memcg charging infra for interrupt contexts

2020-10-18T16:27:09+00:00

Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup of the current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't work for interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during the execution of a section with an active memcg set, all allocations inside the interrupt will be charged to the active memcg set (given that we'll enable accounting for allocations from an interrupt context). But because the interrupt might have no relation to the active memcg set outside, it's obviously wrong from the accounting prospective. To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which will be used from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will transparently use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending on the context. To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's introduce two new functions: - struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void), - struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void). They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all implementation details: where to get it depending on the current context.
