mm/userfaultfd: selftests: fix memory corruption with thp enabled

2021-10-19T06:22:02+00:00

In RHEL's gating selftests we've encountered memory corruption in the uffd event test even with upstream kernel: # ./userfaultfd anon 128 4 nr_pages: 32768, nr_pages_per_cpu: 32768 bounces: 3, mode: rnd racing read, userfaults: 6240 missing (6240) 14729 wp (14729) bounces: 2, mode: racing read, userfaults: 1444 missing (1444) 28877 wp (28877) bounces: 1, mode: rnd read, userfaults: 6055 missing (6055) 14699 wp (14699) bounces: 0, mode: read, userfaults: 82 missing (82) 25196 wp (25196) testing uffd-wp with pagemap (pgsize=4096): done testing uffd-wp with pagemap (pgsize=2097152): done testing events (fork, remap, remove): ERROR: nr 32427 memory corruption 0 1 (errno=0, line=963) ERROR: faulting process failed (errno=0, line=1117) It can be easily reproduced when global thp enabled, which is the default for RHEL. It's also known as a side effect of commit 0db282ba2c12 ("selftest: use mmap instead of posix_memalign to allocate memory", 2021-07-23), which is imho right itself on using mmap() to make sure the addresses will be untagged even on arm. The problem is, for each test we allocate buffers using two allocate_area() calls. We assumed these two buffers won't affect each other, however they could, because mmap() could have found that the two buffers are near each other and having the same VMA flags, so they got merged into one VMA. It won't be a big problem if thp is not enabled, but when thp is agressively enabled it means when initializing the src buffer it could accidentally setup part of the dest buffer too when there's a shared THP that overlaps the two regions. Then some of the dest buffer won't be able to be trapped by userfaultfd missing mode, then it'll cause memory corruption as described. To fix it, do release_pages() after initializing the src buffer. Since the previous two release_pages() calls are after uffd_test_ctx_clear() which will unmap all the buffers anyway (which is stronger than release pages; as unmap() also tear town pgtables), drop them as they shouldn't really be anything useful. We can mark the Fixes tag upon 0db282ba2c12 as it's reported to only happen there, however the real "Fixes" IMHO should be 8ba6e8640844, as before that commit we'll always do explicit release_pages() before registration of uffd, and 8ba6e8640844 changed that logic by adding extra unmap/map and we didn't release the pages at the right place. Meanwhile I don't have a solid glue anyway on whether posix_memalign() could always avoid triggering this bug, hence it's safer to attach this fix to commit 8ba6e8640844.

selftests: vm: add COW time test for KSM pages

2021-09-03T16:58:18+00:00

Since merged pages are copied every time they need to be modified, the write access time is different between shared and non-shared pages. Add ksm_cow_time() function which evaluates latency of these COW breaks. First, 4000 pages are allocated and the time, required to modify 1 byte in every other page, is measured. After this, the pages are merged into 2000 pairs and in each pair, 1 page is modified (i.e. they are decoupled) to detect COW breaks. The time needed to break COW of merged pages is then compared with performance of non-shared pages. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -C The output: Total size: 15 MiB Not merged pages: Total time: 0.002185489 s Average speed: 3202.945 MiB/s Merged pages: Total time: 0.004386872 s Average speed: 1595.670 MiB/s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1d03ee0d1b341959d4b61672c6401d498bff5652.1629386192.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks Reviewed-by: Pavel Tatashin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

selftests: vm: add KSM merging time test

2021-09-03T16:58:18+00:00

Patch series "add KSM performance tests", v3. Extend KSM self tests with a performance benchmark. These tests are not part of regular regression testing, as they are mainly intended to be used by developers making changes to the memory management subsystem. This patch (of 2): Add ksm_merge_time() function to determine speed and time needed for merging. The total spent time is shown in seconds while speed is in MiB/s. User must specify the size of duplicated memory area (in MiB) before running the test. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -P -s 100 The output: Total size: 100 MiB Total time: 0.201106786 s Average speed: 497.248 MiB/s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1629386192.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/318b946ac80cc9205c89d0962048378f7ce0705b.1629386192.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks Reviewed-by: Pavel Tatashin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

selftests: vm: add KSM merging across nodes test

2021-09-03T16:58:18+00:00

Add check_ksm_numa_merge() function to test that pages in different NUMA nodes are being handled properly. First, two duplicate pages are allocated in two separate NUMA nodes using the libnuma library. Since there is one unique page in each node, with merge_across_nodes = 0, there won't be any shared pages. If merge_across_nodes is set to 1, the pages will be treated as usual duplicate pages and will be merged. If NUMA config is not enabled or the number of NUMA nodes is less than two, then the test is skipped. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -N Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/071c17b5b04ebb0dfeba137acc495e5dd9d2a719.1626252248.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy Reviewed-by: Pavel Tatashin Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

selftests: vm: add KSM zero page merging test

2021-09-03T16:58:18+00:00

Add check_ksm_zero_page_merge() function to test that empty pages are being handled properly. For this, several zero pages are allocated and merged using madvise. If use_zero_pages is enabled, the pages must be shared with the special kernel zero pages; otherwise, they are merged as usual duplicate pages. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -Z Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/6d0caab00d4bdccf5e3791cb95cf6dfd5eb85e45.1626252248.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy Reviewed-by: Pavel Tatashin Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

2021-09-03T16:58:18+00:00

Add check_ksm_unmerge() function to verify that KSM is properly unmerging shared pages. For this, two duplicate pages are merged first and then their contents are modified. Since they are not identical anymore, the pages must be unmerged and the number of merged pages has to be 0. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -U Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/c0f55420440d704d5b094275b4365aa1b2ad46b5.1626252248.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy Reviewed-by: Pavel Tatashin Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

selftests: vm: add KSM merge test

2021-09-03T16:58:18+00:00

Patch series "add KSM selftests". Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of KSM. The tests are run on private anonymous pages. Since some KSM tunables are modified, their starting values are saved and restored after testing. At the start, run is set to 2 to ensure that only test pages will be merged (we assume that no applications make madvise syscalls in the background). If KSM config not enabled, all tests will be skipped. This patch (of 4): Add check_ksm_merge() function to check the basic merging feature of KSM. First, some number of identical pages are allocated and the MADV_MERGEABLE advice is given to merge these pages. Then, pages_shared and pages_sharing values are compared with the expected numbers using assert_ksm_pages_count() function. The number of pages can be changed using -p option.

selftests/vm/userfaultfd: wake after copy failure

2021-09-03T16:58:16+00:00

When userfaultfd copy-ioctl fails since the PTE already exists, an -EEXIST error is returned and the faulting thread is not woken. The current userfaultfd test does not wake the faulting thread in such case. The assumption is presumably that another thread set the PTE through copy/wp ioctl and would wake the faulting thread or that alternatively the fault handler would realize there is no need to "must_wait" and continue. This is not necessarily true. There is an assumption that the "must_wait" tests in handle_userfault() are sufficient to provide definitive answer whether the offending PTE is populated or not. However, userfaultfd_must_wait() test is lockless. Consequently, concurrent calls to ptep_modify_prot_start(), for instance, can clear the PTE and can cause userfaultfd_must_wait() to wrongly assume it is not populated and a wait is needed. There are therefore 3 options: (1) Change the tests to wake on copy failure. (2) Wake faulting thread unconditionally on zero/copy ioctls before returning -EEXIST. (3) Change the userfaultfd_must_wait() to hold locks. This patch took the first approach, but the others are valid solutions with different tradeoffs.
