migrate: correct lock ordering for hugetlb file folios

2026-01-30T09:27:41+00:00

commit b7880cb166ab62c2409046b2347261abf701530e upstream. Syzbot has found a deadlock (analyzed by Lance Yang): 1) Task (5749): Holds folio_lock, then tries to acquire i_mmap_rwsem(read lock). 2) Task (5754): Holds i_mmap_rwsem(write lock), then tries to acquire folio_lock. migrate_pages() -> migrate_hugetlbs() -> unmap_and_move_huge_page() <- Takes folio_lock! -> remove_migration_ptes() -> __rmap_walk_file() -> i_mmap_lock_read() <- Waits for i_mmap_rwsem(read lock)! hugetlbfs_fallocate() -> hugetlbfs_punch_hole() <- Takes i_mmap_rwsem(write lock)! -> hugetlbfs_zero_partial_page() -> filemap_lock_hugetlb_folio() -> filemap_lock_folio() -> __filemap_get_folio <- Waits for folio_lock! The migration path is the one taking locks in the wrong order according to the documentation at the top of mm/rmap.c. So expand the scope of the existing i_mmap_lock to cover the calls to remove_migration_ptes() too. This is (mostly) how it used to be after commit c0d0381ade79. That was removed by 336bf30eb765 for both file & anon hugetlb pages when it should only have been removed for anon hugetlb pages.

mm/migrate: correct nr_failed in migrate_pages_sync()

2025-05-22T12:12:25+00:00

commit a259945efe6ada94087ef666e9b38f8e34ea34ba upstream. nr_failed was missing the large folio splits from migrate_pages_batch() and can cause a mismatch between migrate_pages() return value and the number of not migrated pages, i.e., when the return value of migrate_pages() is 0, there are still pages left in the from page list. It will happen when a non-PMD THP large folio fails to migrate due to -ENOMEM and is split successfully but not all the split pages are not migrated, migrate_pages_batch() would return non-zero, but astats.nr_thp_split = 0. nr_failed would be 0 and returned to the caller of migrate_pages(), but the not migrated pages are left in the from page list without being added back to LRU lists. Fix it by adding a new nr_split counter for large folio splits and adding it to nr_failed in migrate_page_sync() after migrate_pages_batch() is done.

mm/migrate: fix shmem xarray update during migration

2025-03-28T20:59:55+00:00

commit 60cf233b585cdf1f3c5e52d1225606b86acd08b0 upstream. A shmem folio can be either in page cache or in swap cache, but not at the same time. Namely, once it is in swap cache, folio->mapping should be NULL, and the folio is no longer in a shmem mapping. In __folio_migrate_mapping(), to determine the number of xarray entries to update, folio_test_swapbacked() is used, but that conflates shmem in page cache case and shmem in swap cache case. It leads to xarray multi-index entry corruption, since it turns a sibling entry to a normal entry during xas_store() (see [1] for a userspace reproduction). Fix it by only using folio_test_swapcache() to determine whether xarray is storing swap cache entries or not to choose the right number of xarray entries to update. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Z8idPCkaJW1IChjT@casper.infradead.org/ Note: In __split_huge_page(), folio_test_anon() && folio_test_swapcache() is used to get swap_cache address space, but that ignores the shmem folio in swap cache case. It could lead to NULL pointer dereferencing when a in-swap-cache shmem folio is split at __xa_store(), since !folio_test_anon() is true and folio->mapping is NULL. But fortunately, its caller split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() bails out early with EBUSY when folio->mapping is NULL. So no need to take care of it here.

vmscan,migrate: fix page count imbalance on node stats when demoting pages

2024-11-08T15:28:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 35e41024c4c2b02ef8207f61b9004f6956cf037b ] When numa balancing is enabled with demotion, vmscan will call migrate_pages when shrinking LRUs. migrate_pages will decrement the the node's isolated page count, leading to an imbalanced count when invoked from (MG)LRU code. The result is dmesg output like such: $ cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh [77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_anon -103212 [77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_file -899642 This negative value may impact compaction and reclaim throttling. The following path produces the decrement: shrink_folio_list demote_folio_list migrate_pages migrate_pages_batch migrate_folio_move migrate_folio_done mod_node_page_state(-ve) <- decrement This path happens for SUCCESSFUL migrations, not failures. Typically callers to migrate_pages are required to handle putback/accounting for failures, but this is already handled in the shrink code. When accounting for migrations, instead do not decrement the count when the migration reason is MR_DEMOTION. As of v6.11, this demotion logic is the only source of MR_DEMOTION.

After analyzing the vmcore, I found this issue is caused by page migration. The scenario is that, one thread is doing page migration, and we will use the target page's ->mapping field to save 'anon_vma' pointer between page unmap and page move, and now the target page is locked and refcount is 1. Currently, there is another stress-ng thread performing memory hotplug, attempting to offline the target page that is being migrated. It discovers that the refcount of this target page is 1, preventing the offline operation, thus proceeding to dump the page. However, page_mapping() of the target page may return an incorrect file mapping to crash the system in dump_mapping(), since the target page->mapping only saves 'anon_vma' pointer without setting PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag. There are seveval ways to fix this issue: (1) Setting the PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag for target page's ->mapping when saving 'anon_vma', but this can confuse PageAnon() for PFN walkers, since the target page has not built mappings yet. (2) Getting the page lock to call page_mapping() in __dump_page() to avoid crashing the system, however, there are still some PFN walkers that call page_mapping() without holding the page lock, such as compaction. (3) Using target page->private field to save the 'anon_vma' pointer and 2 bits page state, just as page->mapping records an anonymous page, which can remove the page_mapping() impact for PFN walkers and also seems a simple way. So I choose option 3 to fix this issue, and this can also fix other potential issues for PFN walkers, such as compaction.

mm: migrate: record the mlocked page status to remove unnecessary lru drain

2024-02-01T00:19:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit eebb3dabbb5cc590afe32880b5d3726d0fbf88db ] When doing compaction, I found the lru_add_drain() is an obvious hotspot when migrating pages. The distribution of this hotspot is as follows: - 18.75% compact_zone - 17.39% migrate_pages - 13.79% migrate_pages_batch - 11.66% migrate_folio_move - 7.02% lru_add_drain + 7.02% lru_add_drain_cpu + 3.00% move_to_new_folio 1.23% rmap_walk + 1.92% migrate_folio_unmap + 3.20% migrate_pages_sync + 0.90% isolate_migratepages The lru_add_drain() was added by commit c3096e6782b7 ("mm/migrate: __unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU") to drain the newpage to LRU immediately, to help to build up the correct newpage->mlock_count in remove_migration_ptes() for mlocked pages. However, if there are no mlocked pages are migrating, then we can avoid this lru drain operation, especailly for the heavy concurrent scenarios. So we can record the source pages' mlocked status in migrate_folio_unmap(), and only drain the lru list when the mlocked status is set in migrate_folio_move(). In addition, the page was already isolated from lru when migrating, so checking the mlocked status is stable by folio_test_mlocked() in migrate_folio_unmap(). After this patch, I can see the hotpot of the lru_add_drain() is gone: - 9.41% migrate_pages_batch - 6.15% migrate_folio_move - 3.64% move_to_new_folio + 1.80% migrate_folio_extra + 1.70% buffer_migrate_folio + 1.41% rmap_walk + 0.62% folio_add_lru + 3.07% migrate_folio_unmap Meanwhile, the compaction latency shows some improvements when running thpscale: base patched Amean fault-both-1 1131.22 ( 0.00%) 1112.55 * 1.65%* Amean fault-both-3 2489.75 ( 0.00%) 2324.15 * 6.65%* Amean fault-both-5 3257.37 ( 0.00%) 3183.18 * 2.28%* Amean fault-both-7 4257.99 ( 0.00%) 4079.04 * 4.20%* Amean fault-both-12 6614.02 ( 0.00%) 6075.60 * 8.14%* Amean fault-both-18 10607.78 ( 0.00%) 8978.86 * 15.36%* Amean fault-both-24 14911.65 ( 0.00%) 11619.55 * 22.08%* Amean fault-both-30 14954.67 ( 0.00%) 14925.66 * 0.19%* Amean fault-both-32 16654.87 ( 0.00%) 15580.31 * 6.45%* Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/06e9153a7a4850352ec36602df3a3a844de45698.1697859741.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang Reviewed-by: "Huang, Ying" Reviewed-by: Zi Yan Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Vlastimil Babka Cc: Yin Fengwei Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Stable-dep-of: d1adb25df711 ("mm: migrate: fix getting incorrect page mapping during page migration") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

mm: migrate high-order folios in swap cache correctly

2024-01-05T14:19:43+00:00

commit fc346d0a70a13d52fe1c4bc49516d83a42cd7c4c upstream. Large folios occupy N consecutive entries in the swap cache instead of using multi-index entries like the page cache. However, if a large folio is re-added to the LRU list, it can be migrated. The migration code was not aware of the difference between the swap cache and the page cache and assumed that a single xas_store() would be sufficient. This leaves potentially many stale pointers to the now-migrated folio in the swap cache, which can lead to almost arbitrary data corruption in the future. This can also manifest as infinite loops with the RCU read lock held.

mm/migrate: fix do_pages_move for compat pointers

2023-10-06T21:11:38+00:00

do_pages_move does not handle compat pointers for the page list. correctly. Add in_compat_syscall check and appropriate get_user fetch when iterating the page list. It makes the syscall in compat mode (32-bit userspace, 64-bit kernel) work the same way as the native 32-bit syscall again, restoring the behavior before my broken commit 5b1b561ba73c ("mm: simplify compat_sys_move_pages"). More specifically, my patch moved the parsing of the 'pages' array from the main entry point into do_pages_stat(), which left the syscall working correctly for the 'stat' operation (nodes = NULL), while the 'move' operation (nodes != NULL) is now missing the conversion and interprets 'pages' as an array of 64-bit pointers instead of the intended 32-bit userspace pointers. It is possible that nobody noticed this bug because the few applications that actually call move_pages are unlikely to run in compat mode because of their large memory requirements, but this clearly fixes a user-visible regression and should have been caught by ltp.

mm: hugetlb: add huge page size param to set_huge_pte_at()

2023-09-30T00:20:47+00:00

Patch series "Fix set_huge_pte_at() panic on arm64", v2. This series fixes a bug in arm64's implementation of set_huge_pte_at(), which can result in an unprivileged user causing a kernel panic. The problem was triggered when running the new uffd poison mm selftest for HUGETLB memory. This test (and the uffd poison feature) was merged for v6.5-rc7. Ideally, I'd like to get this fix in for v6.6 and I've cc'ed stable (correctly this time) to get it backported to v6.5, where the issue first showed up. Description of Bug ================== arm64's huge pte implementation supports multiple huge page sizes, some of which are implemented in the page table with multiple contiguous entries. So set_huge_pte_at() needs to work out how big the logical pte is, so that it can also work out how many physical ptes (or pmds) need to be written. It previously did this by grabbing the folio out of the pte and querying its size. However, there are cases when the pte being set is actually a swap entry. But this also used to work fine, because for huge ptes, we only ever saw migration entries and hwpoison entries. And both of these types of swap entries have a PFN embedded, so the code would grab that and everything still worked out. But over time, more calls to set_huge_pte_at() have been added that set swap entry types that do not embed a PFN. And this causes the code to go bang. The triggering case is for the uffd poison test, commit 99aa77215ad0 ("selftests/mm: add uffd unit test for UFFDIO_POISON"), which causes a PTE_MARKER_POISONED swap entry to be set, coutesey of commit 8a13897fb0da ("mm: userfaultfd: support UFFDIO_POISON for hugetlbfs") - added in v6.5-rc7. Although review shows that there are other call sites that set PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP (which also has no PFN), these don't trigger on arm64 because arm64 doesn't support UFFD WP. If CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, we do at least get a BUG(), but otherwise, it will dereference a bad pointer in page_folio(): static inline struct folio *hugetlb_swap_entry_to_folio(swp_entry_t entry) { VM_BUG_ON(!is_migration_entry(entry) && !is_hwpoison_entry(entry)); return page_folio(pfn_to_page(swp_offset_pfn(entry))); } Fix === The simplest fix would have been to revert the dodgy cleanup commit 18f3962953e4 ("mm: hugetlb: kill set_huge_swap_pte_at()"), but since things have moved on, this would have required an audit of all the new set_huge_pte_at() call sites to see if they should be converted to set_huge_swap_pte_at(). As per the original intent of the change, it would also leave us open to future bugs when people invariably get it wrong and call the wrong helper. So instead, I've added a huge page size parameter to set_huge_pte_at(). This means that the arm64 code has the size in all cases. It's a bigger change, due to needing to touch the arches that implement the function, but it is entirely mechanical, so in my view, low risk. I've compile-tested all touched arches; arm64, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sparc (and additionally x86_64). I've additionally booted and run mm selftests against arm64, where I observe the uffd poison test is fixed, and there are no other regressions. This patch (of 2): In order to fix a bug, arm64 needs to be told the size of the huge page for which the pte is being set in set_huge_pte_at(). Provide for this by adding an `unsigned long sz` parameter to the function. This follows the same pattern as huge_pte_clear(). This commit makes the required interface modifications to the core mm as well as all arches that implement this function (arm64, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sparc). The actual arm64 bug will be fixed in a separate commit. No behavioral changes intended.
