mm/ksm: fix race with VMA iteration and mm_struct teardown

2023-03-24T00:18:33+00:00

exit_mmap() will tear down the VMAs and maple tree with the mmap_lock held in write mode. Ensure that the maple tree is still valid by checking ksm_test_exit() after taking the mmap_lock in read mode, but before the for_each_vma() iterator dereferences a destroyed maple tree. Since the maple tree is destroyed, the flags telling lockdep to check an external lock has been cleared. Skip the for_each_vma() iterator to avoid dereferencing a maple tree without the external lock flag, which would create a lockdep warning.

mm: hwpoison: support recovery from ksm_might_need_to_copy()

2023-02-09T23:56:51+00:00

When the kernel copies a page from ksm_might_need_to_copy(), but runs into an uncorrectable error, it will crash since poisoned page is consumed by kernel, this is similar to the issue recently fixed by Copy-on-write poison recovery. When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON in do_swap_page(), and install a hwpoison entry in unuse_pte() when swapoff, which help us to avoid system crash. Note, memory failure on a KSM page will be skipped, but still call memory_failure_queue() to be consistent with general memory failure process, and we could support KSM page recovery in the feature.

mm/mmu_notifier: remove unused mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only export

2023-02-03T06:32:54+00:00

mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() was originally introduced in commit c6d23413f81b ("mm/mmu_notifier: mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() helper") as an optimisation for device drivers that know a range has only been mapped read-only. However there are no users of this feature so remove it. As it is the only user of the struct mmu_notifier_range.vma field remove that also.

mm/ksm: convert break_ksm() to use walk_page_range_vma()

2022-12-12T02:12:09+00:00

FOLL_MIGRATION exists only for the purpose of break_ksm(), and actually, there is not even the need to wait for the migration to finish, we only want to know if we're dealing with a KSM page. Using follow_page() just to identify a KSM page overcomplicates GUP code. Let's use walk_page_range_vma() instead, because we don't actually care about the page itself, we only need to know a single property -- no need to even grab a reference. So, get rid of follow_page() usage such that we can get rid of FOLL_MIGRATION now and eventually be able to get rid of follow_page() in the future. In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a performance degradation of ~2% (old: ~5010 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s). I don't think we particularly care for now. Interestingly, the benchmark reduction is due to the single callback. Adding a second callback (e.g., pud_entry()) reduces the benchmark by another 100-200 MiB/s.

mm/ksm: fix KSM COW breaking with userfaultfd-wp via FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE

2022-12-12T02:12:08+00:00

Let's stop breaking COW via a fake write fault and let's use FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE instead. This avoids any wrong side effects of the fake write fault, such as mapping the PTE writable and marking the pte dirty/softdirty. Consequently, we will no longer trigger a fake write fault and break COW without any such side-effects. Also, this fixes KSM interaction with userfaultfd-wp: when we have a KSM page that's write-protected by userfaultfd, break_ksm()->handle_mm_fault() will fail with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and will simply return in break_ksm() with 0 instead of actually breaking COW. For now, the KSM unmerge tests can trigger that: $ sudo ./ksm_functional_tests TAP version 13 1..3 # [RUN] test_unmerge ok 1 Pages were unmerged # [RUN] test_unmerge_discarded ok 2 Pages were unmerged # [RUN] test_unmerge_uffd_wp not ok 3 Pages were unmerged Bail out! 1 out of 3 tests failed # Planned tests != run tests (2 != 3) # Totals: pass:2 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 The warning in dmesg also indicates this wrong handling: [ 230.096368] FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY missing 881 [ 230.100822] CPU: 1 PID: 1643 Comm: ksm-uffd-wp [...] [ 230.110124] Hardware name: [...] [ 230.117775] Call Trace: [ 230.120227] [ 230.122334] dump_stack_lvl+0x44/0x5c [ 230.126010] handle_userfault.cold+0x14/0x19 [ 230.130281] ? tlb_finish_mmu+0x65/0x170 [ 230.134207] ? uffd_wp_range+0x65/0xa0 [ 230.137959] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x15/0x30 [ 230.141972] ? do_wp_page+0x50/0x590 [ 230.145551] __handle_mm_fault+0x9f5/0xf50 [ 230.149652] ? mmput+0x1f/0x40 [ 230.152712] handle_mm_fault+0xb9/0x2a0 [ 230.156550] break_ksm+0x141/0x180 [ 230.159964] unmerge_ksm_pages+0x60/0x90 [ 230.163890] ksm_madvise+0x3c/0xb0 [ 230.167295] do_madvise.part.0+0x10c/0xeb0 [ 230.171396] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x80 [ 230.175157] __x64_sys_madvise+0x5a/0x70 [ 230.179082] do_syscall_64+0x58/0x80 [ 230.182661] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x80 [ 230.186413] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd This is primarily a fix for KSM+userfaultfd-wp, however, the fake write fault was always questionable.

mm/ksm: simplify break_ksm() to not rely on VM_FAULT_WRITE

2022-12-12T02:12:08+00:00

Now that GUP no longer requires VM_FAULT_WRITE, break_ksm() is the sole remaining user of VM_FAULT_WRITE. As we also want to stop triggering a fake write fault and instead use FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE -- similar to GUP-triggered unsharing when taking a R/O pin on a shared anonymous page (including KSM pages), let's stop relying on VM_FAULT_WRITE. Let's rework break_ksm() to not rely on the return value of handle_mm_fault() anymore to figure out whether COW-breaking was successful. Simply perform another follow_page() lookup to verify the result. While this makes break_ksm() slightly less efficient, we can simplify handle_mm_fault() a little and easily switch to FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE without introducing similar KSM-specific behavior for FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE. In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a performance degradation of ~4% -- 5% (old: ~5250 MiB/s, new: ~5010 MiB/s). I don't think that we particularly care about that performance drop when unmerging. If it ever turns out to be an actual performance issue, we can think about a better alternative for FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE -- let's just keep it simple for now.

mm/autonuma: use can_change_(pte|pmd)_writable() to replace savedwrite

2022-11-30T23:58:49+00:00

commit b191f9b106ea ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault") added remembering write permissions using ordinary pte_write() for PROT_NONE mapped pages to avoid write faults when remapping the page !PROT_NONE on NUMA hinting faults. That commit noted: 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. Later, commit 288bc54949fc ("mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.") introduced a family of savedwrite PTE functions that didn't necessarily improve the whole situation. One confusing thing is that nowadays, if a page is pte_protnone() and pte_savedwrite() then also pte_write() is true. Another source of confusion is that there is only a single pte_mk_savedwrite() call in the kernel. All other write-protection code seems to silently rely on pte_wrprotect(). Ever since PageAnonExclusive was introduced and we started using it in mprotect context via commit 64fe24a3e05e ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection"), we do have machinery in place to avoid write faults when changing protection, which is exactly what we want to do here. Let's similarly do what ordinary mprotect() does nowadays when upgrading write permissions and reuse can_change_pte_writable() and can_change_pmd_writable() to detect if we can upgrade PTE permissions to be writable. For anonymous pages there should be absolutely no change: if an anonymous page is not exclusive, it could not have been mapped writable -- because only exclusive anonymous pages can be mapped writable. However, there *might* be a change for writable shared mappings that require writenotify: if they are not dirty, we cannot map them writable. While it might not matter in practice, we'd need a different way to identify whether writenotify is actually required -- and ordinary mprotect would benefit from that as well. Note that we don't optimize for the actual migration case: (1) When migration succeeds the new PTE will not be writable because the source PTE was not writable (protnone); in the future we might just optimize that case similarly by reusing can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() when removing migration PTEs. (2) When migration fails, we'd have to recalculate the "writable" flag because we temporarily dropped the PT lock; for now keep it simple and set "writable=false". We'll remove all savedwrite leftovers next.

memory: move hotplug memory notifier priority to same file for easy sorting

The priority of hotplug memory callback is defined in a different file. And there are some callers using numbers directly. Collect them together into include/linux/memory.h for easy reading. This allows us to sort their priorities more intuitively without additional comments.
