mlock: fix unevictable_pgs event counts on THP

2020-09-19T20:13:38+00:00

5.8 commit 5d91f31faf8e ("mm: swap: fix vmstats for huge page") has established that vm_events should count every subpage of a THP, including unevictable_pgs_culled and unevictable_pgs_rescued; but lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() was not doing so for unevictable_pgs_mlocked, and mm/mlock.c was not doing so for unevictable_pgs mlocked, munlocked, cleared and stranded. Fix them; but THPs don't go the pagevec way in mlock.c, so no fixes needed on that path.

mm: replace hpage_nr_pages with thp_nr_pages

2020-08-15T02:56:56+00:00

The thp prefix is more frequently used than hpage and we should be consistent between the various functions.

mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls

2019-09-26T00:51:41+00:00

This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments. This patch allows tagged pointers to be passed to the following memory syscalls: get_mempolicy, madvise, mbind, mincore, mlock, mlock2, mprotect, mremap, msync, munlock, move_pages. The mmap and mremap syscalls do not currently accept tagged addresses. Architectures may interpret the tag as a background colour for the corresponding vma.

mm/mlock.c: change count_mm_mlocked_page_nr return type

2019-06-14T03:34:56+00:00

On a 64-bit machine the value of "vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start" may be negative when using 32 bit ints and the "count >> PAGE_SHIFT"'s result will be wrong. So change the local variable and return value to unsigned long to fix the problem.

mm/mlock.c: mlockall error for flag MCL_ONFAULT

2019-06-14T03:34:56+00:00

If mlockall() is called with only MCL_ONFAULT as flag, it removes any previously applied lockings and does nothing else. This behavior is counter-intuitive and doesn't match the Linux man page. For mlockall(): EINVAL Unknown flags were specified or MCL_ONFAULT was specified without either MCL_FUTURE or MCL_CURRENT. Consequently, return the error EINVAL, if only MCL_ONFAULT is passed. That way, applications will at least detect that they are calling mlockall() incorrectly.

mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directly

2019-03-06T05:07:21+00:00

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer: zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page)) Which is silly, because it unfolds to this: &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock while we can simply do &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use 'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax

2018-08-17T23:20:27+00:00

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/ VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear map. The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma, is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations. In the cases where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case. Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP. This also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a file. DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(), and copy_page_range(). This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test. It has also been tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by memmap and no additional issues have been observed.

mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs

2018-02-21T23:35:42+00:00

When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec (lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page. On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec of a different CPU. Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain. The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats will remain skewed for a long time. This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking their evictability. This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file pages will go to unevictable LRU. Also this makes the race with munlock easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock. However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention. TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock(). #0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn #1: clear_page_mlock SetPageLRU() if (!TestClearPageMlocked()) return smp_mb() // <--required // inside does PageLRU if (!PageMlocked()) if (isolate_lru_page()) move to evictable LRU putback_lru_page() else move to unevictable LRU In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be reordered before it. In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be reordered before SetPageLRU(). If that happens, '#0' can put a page in unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set PageLRU bit of that page. That page will be stranded on the unevictable LRU. There is one (good) side effect though. Without this patch, the pages allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment. This patch will correctly put such pages to unevictable LRU.
