2011-02-03thp: fix unsuitable behavior for hwpoisoned tail pageJin Dongming1-14/+17
When a tail page of THP is poisoned, memory-failure will do nothing except setting PG_hwpoison, while the expected behavior is that the process, who is using the poisoned tail page, should be killed. The above problem is caused by lru check of the poisoned tail page of THP. Because PG_lru flag is only set on the head page of THP, the check always consider the poisoned tail page as NON lru page. So the lru check for the tail page of THP should be avoided, as like as hugetlb. This patch adds !PageTransCompound() before lru check for THP, because of the check (!PageHuge() && !PageTransCompound()) the whole branch could be optimized away at build time when both hugetlbfs and THP are set with "N" (or in archs not supporting either of those).

2011-02-03thp: fix the wrong reported address of hwpoisoned hugepagesJin Dongming1-5/+22
When the tail page of THP is poisoned, the head page will be poisoned too. And the wrong address, address of head page, will be sent with sigbus always. So when the poisoned page is used by Guest OS which is running on KVM, after the address changing(hva->gpa) by qemu, the unexpected process on Guest OS will be killed by sigbus. What we expected is that the process using the poisoned tail page could be killed on Guest OS, but not that the process using the healthy head page is killed. Since it is not good to poison the healthy page, avoid poisoning other than the page which is really poisoned. (While we poison all pages in a huge page in case of hugetlb, we can do this for THP thanks to split_huge_page().) Here we fix two parts: 1. Isolate the poisoned page only to make sure the reported address is the address of poisoned page. 2. make the poisoned page work as the poisoned regular page.

2011-02-03thp: fix splitting of hwpoisoned hugepagesJin Dongming1-2/+28
The poisoned THP is now split with split_huge_page() in collect_procs_anon(). If kmalloc() is failed in collect_procs(), split_huge_page() could not be called. And the work after split_huge_page() for collecting the processes using poisoned page will not be done, too. So the processes using the poisoned page could not be killed. The condition becomes worse when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM == "Y". Because the poisoned THP could not be split, system panic will be caused by VM_BUG_ON(PageTransHuge(page)) in try_to_unmap(). This patch does: 1. move split_huge_page() to the place before collect_procs(). This can be sure the failure of splitting THP is caused by itself. 2. when splitting THP is failed, stop the operations after it. This can avoid unexpected system panic or non sense works.

2011-01-14thp: fix memory-failure hugetlbfs vs THP collisionAndrea Arcangeli1-1/+1
hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs pages and that broke THP as split_huge_page was then called on hugetlbfs pages too. compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted at any time. All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.

2011-01-14thp: split_huge_page pagingAndrea Arcangeli1-0/+2
Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap to ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code. Eventually swap should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and decrease seeking and fragmentation of swap space. swapoff can just skip over huge pmd as they cannot be part of swap yet. In add_to_swap be careful to split the page only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't split hugepages with a full swap. In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan, but for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode, or PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem read/write mode or PG_lock taken. Calling it from isolate_lru_page would make locking more complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would deadlock if called by __isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru lock to add the tail pages.

2011-01-14mm: migration: allow migration to operate asynchronously and avoid ↵Mel Gorman1-3/+5
synchronous compaction in the faster path Migration synchronously waits for writeback if the initial passes fails. Callers of memory compaction do not necessarily want this behaviour if the caller is latency sensitive or expects that synchronous migration is not going to have a significantly better success rate. This patch adds a sync parameter to migrate_pages() allowing the caller to indicate if wait_on_page_writeback() is allowed within migration or not. For reclaim/compaction, try_to_compact_pages() is first called asynchronously, direct reclaim runs and then try_to_compact_pages() is called synchronously as there is a greater expectation that it'll succeed.

2010-10-27mm: compaction: fix COMPACTPAGEFAILED countingMinchan Kim1-0/+1
Presently update_nr_listpages() doesn't have a role. That's because lists passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages. The migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate before returning by aaa994b3. [PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages() Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of pages by the callers of migrate_pages(). At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages. But the situation is changed. The compaction need to know the number of failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat This patch makes new rule for caller of migrate_pages to call putback_lru_pages. So caller need to clean up the lists so it has a chance to postprocess the pages.

2010-10-08HWPOSION, hugetlb: recover from free hugepage error when !MF_COUNT_INCREASEDNaoya Horiguchi1-1/+32
Currently error recovery for free hugepage works only for MF_COUNT_INCREASED. This patch enables !MF_COUNT_INCREASED case. Free hugepages can be handled directly by alloc_huge_page() and dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page(), and both of them are protected by hugetlb_lock, so there is no race between them. Note that this patch defines the refcount of HWPoisoned hugepage dequeued from freelist is 1, deviated from present 0, thereby we can avoid race between unpoison and memory failure on free hugepage. This is reasonable because unlikely to free buddy pages, free hugepage is governed by hugetlbfs even after error handling finishes. And it also makes unpoison code added in the later patch cleaner.

2010-08-01KVM: Avoid killing userspace through guest SRAO MCE on unmapped pagesHuang Ying1-0/+30
In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay the MCE to guest OS. But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will be killed. The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped, guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace is killed by force_sig_info. To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned page.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-06mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issueRik van Riel1-1/+4
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

2009-12-16HWPOISON: Add soft page offline supportAndi Kleen1-5/+189
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the page away. This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead it can be offlined early and avoided. The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too. We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep(). This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work. This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution currently. When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab cache which might own the page. This could be potentially improved later. Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes. [Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

2009-12-16HWPOISON: add an interface to switch off/on all the page filtersHaicheng Li1-0/+5
In some use cases, user doesn't need extra filtering. E.g. user program can inject errors through madvise syscall to its own pages, however it might not know what the page state exactly is or which inode the page belongs to. So introduce an one-off interface "corrupt-filter-enable". Echo 0 to switch off page filters, and echo 1 to switch on the filters.

2009-12-16HWPOISON: add memory cgroup filterAndi Kleen1-0/+46
The hwpoison test suite need to inject hwpoison to a collection of selected task pages, and must not touch pages not owned by them and thus kill important system processes such as init. (But it's OK to mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages. Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.) The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory cgroup. The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is, the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is locked). Which we believe is/should be true. The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases. The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the (process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space. However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more complexity than we wanted. Example test case: mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison usemem -m 100 -s 1000 & echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ') echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg page-types -p `pidof init` --hwpoison # shall do nothing page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison # poison its pages [AK: Fix documentation] [Add fix for problem noticed by Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>; dentry in the css could be NULL] CC: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> CC: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> CC: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> CC: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> CC: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> CC: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> CC: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> CC: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
2009-12-16HWPOISON: add page flags filterWu Fengguang1-0/+20
When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value). - corrupt-filter-flags-mask - corrupt-filter-flags-value This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages. Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page. However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning, this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages. It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right. The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor numbers: - corrupt-filter-dev-major - corrupt-filter-dev-minor When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that device will be poisoned. The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time. Especially the stress test of dirty swap cache pages shall reboot system before exhausting memory.
