commit 2395928158059b8f9858365fce7713ce7fef62e4 upstream.

There exists multiple path may do zram compaction concurrently.
1. auto-compaction triggered during memory reclaim
2. userspace utils write zram&lt;id&gt;/compaction node

So, multiple threads may call zs_shrinker_scan/zs_compact concurrently.
But pages_compacted is a per zsmalloc pool variable and modification
of the variable is not serialized(through under class-&gt;lock).
There are two issues here:
1. the pages_compacted may not equal to total number of pages
freed(due to concurrently add).
2. zs_shrinker_scan may not return the correct number of pages
freed(issued by current shrinker).

The fix is simple:
1. account the number of pages freed in zs_compact locally.
2. use actomic variable pages_compacted to accumulate total number.

<title>zsmalloc: fix zs_can_compact() integer overflow</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1d77f0a51cb6517d72146c6cb81a997b060b68b2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 44f43e99fe70833058482d183e99fdfd11220996 upstream.

zs_can_compact() has two race conditions in its core calculation:

unsigned long obj_wasted = zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_ALLOCATED) -
				zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_USED);

1) classes are not locked, so the numbers of allocated and used
   objects can change by the concurrent ops happening on other CPUs
2) shrinker invokes it from preemptible context

Depending on the circumstances, thus, OBJ_ALLOCATED can become
less than OBJ_USED, which can result in either very high or
negative `total_scan' value calculated later in do_shrink_slab().

do_shrink_slab() has some logic to prevent those cases:

 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-64
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62

However, due to the way `total_scan' is calculated, not every
shrinker-&gt;count_objects() overflow can be spotted and handled.
To demonstrate the latter, I added some debugging code to do_shrink_slab()
(x86_64) and the results were:

 vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker-&gt;count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
 vmscan: but total_scan &gt; 0: 92679974445502
 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 92679974445502
[..]
 vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker-&gt;count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
 vmscan: but total_scan &gt; 0: 22634041808232578
 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 22634041808232578

Even though shrinker-&gt;count_objects() has returned an overflowed value,
the resulting `total_scan' is positive, and, what is more worrisome, it
is insanely huge. This value is getting used later on in
shrinker-&gt;scan_objects() loop:

        while (total_scan &gt;= batch_size ||
               total_scan &gt;= freeable) {
                unsigned long ret;
                unsigned long nr_to_scan = min(batch_size, total_scan);

                shrinkctl-&gt;nr_to_scan = nr_to_scan;
                ret = shrinker-&gt;scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl);
                if (ret == SHRINK_STOP)
                        break;
                freed += ret;

                count_vm_events(SLABS_SCANNED, nr_to_scan);
                total_scan -= nr_to_scan;

                cond_resched();
        }

`total_scan &gt;= batch_size' is true for a very-very long time and
'total_scan &gt;= freeable' is also true for quite some time, because
`freeable &lt; 0' and `total_scan' is large enough, for example,
22634041808232578. The only break condition, in the given scheme of
things, is shrinker-&gt;scan_objects() == SHRINK_STOP test, which is a
bit too weak to rely on, especially in heavy zsmalloc-usage scenarios.

To fix the issue, take a pool stat snapshot and use it instead of
racy zs_stat_get() calls.

<title>zsmalloc: fix migrate_zspage-zs_free race condition</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bddaf79195c4b9bae86b494fb6cfe855f8415afb</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c102f07ca0b04f2cb49cfc161c83f6239d17f491 upstream.

record_obj() in migrate_zspage() does not preserve handle's
HANDLE_PIN_BIT, set by find_aloced_obj()-&gt;trypin_tag(), and implicitly
(accidentally) un-pins the handle, while migrate_zspage() still performs
an explicit unpin_tag() on the that handle.  This additional explicit
unpin_tag() introduces a race condition with zs_free(), which can pin
that handle by this time, so the handle becomes un-pinned.

Schematically, it goes like this:

  CPU0                                        CPU1
  migrate_zspage
    find_alloced_obj
      trypin_tag
        set HANDLE_PIN_BIT                    zs_free()
                                                pin_tag()
  obj_malloc() -- new object, no tag
  record_obj() -- remove HANDLE_PIN_BIT           set HANDLE_PIN_BIT
  unpin_tag()  -- remove zs_free's HANDLE_PIN_BIT

The race condition may result in a NULL pointer dereference:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  CPU: 0 PID: 19001 Comm: CookieMonsterCl Tainted:
  PC is at get_zspage_mapping+0x0/0x24

This patch keeps the lock bit in migration path and update value
atomically.

We are going to rework how compound_head() work. It will not use
page-&gt;first_page as we have it now.

The only other user of page-&gt;first_page beyond compound pages is
zsmalloc.

Let's use page-&gt;private instead of page-&gt;first_page here. It occupies
the same storage space.

<title>zsmalloc: reduce size_class memory usage</title>
<updated>2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:6fe5186f0c7c18a8beb6d96c21e2390df7a12375</id>
<content type='text'>
Each `struct size_class' contains `struct zs_size_stat': an array of
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE `unsigned long'.  For zsmalloc built with no
CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT this results in a waste of `2 * sizeof(unsigned
long)' per-class.

The patch removes unneeded `struct zs_size_stat' members by redefining
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE (max stat idx in array).

Since both NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE and zs_stat_type are compile time constants,
GCC can eliminate zs_stat_inc()/zs_stat_dec() calls that use zs_stat_type
larger than NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE: CLASS_ALMOST_EMPTY and CLASS_ALMOST_FULL at
the moment.

./scripts/bloat-o-meter mm/zsmalloc.o.old mm/zsmalloc.o.new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-39 (-39)
function                                     old     new   delta
fix_fullness_group                            97      94      -3
insert_zspage                                100      86     -14
remove_zspage                                141     119     -22

To summarize:
a) each class now uses less memory
b) we avoid a number of dec/inc stats (a minor optimization,
   but still).

The gain will increase once we introduce additional stats.

A simple IO test.

We don't let user to disable shrinker in zsmalloc (once it's been
enabled), so no need to check -&gt;shrinker_enabled in zs_shrinker_count(),
at the moment at least.

A cosmetic change.

Commit c60369f01125 ("staging: zsmalloc: prevent mappping in interrupt
context") added in_interrupt() check to zs_map_object() and 'hardirq.h'
include; but in_interrupt() macro is defined in 'preempt.h' not in
'hardirq.h', so include it instead.

<title>zsmalloc: fix obj_to_head use page_private(page) as value but not pointer</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12a7bfad58cd604616dd5205efa6dc2be6f299eb</id>
<content type='text'>
In obj_malloc():

	if (!class-&gt;huge)
		/* record handle in the header of allocated chunk */
		link-&gt;handle = handle;
	else
		/* record handle in first_page-&gt;private */
		set_page_private(first_page, handle);

In the hugepage we save handle to private directly.

But in obj_to_head():

	if (class-&gt;huge) {
		VM_BUG_ON(!is_first_page(page));
		return *(unsigned long *)page_private(page);
	} else
		return *(unsigned long *)obj;

It is used as a pointer.

The reason why there is no problem until now is huge-class page is born
with ZS_FULL so it can't be migrated.  However, we need this patch for
future work: "VM-aware zsmalloced page migration" to reduce external
fragmentation.
