mm/page_alloc: Separate THP PCP into movable and non-movable categories

2024-07-05T07:32:00Z

commit bf14ed81f571f8dba31cd72ab2e50fbcc877cc31 upstream. Since commit 5d0a661d808f ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not acceptable. If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual machine with device passthrough will get stuck. During starting the virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless. Call trace: pin_user_pages_remote --__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function ----_get_user_pages_locked ----check_and_migrate_movable_pages ------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages --------alloc_migration_target This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself. For example, when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc() or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's users can retrieve that contigous memory. Currently, CMA's memory is occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them. As a result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail. To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages. THP will have 2 PCP lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list is used by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE, and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.

mm, kmsan: fix infinite recursion due to RCU critical section

2024-02-05T20:13:02Z

commit f6564fce256a3944aa1bc76cb3c40e792d97c1eb upstream. Alexander Potapenko writes in [1]: "For every memory access in the code instrumented by KMSAN we call kmsan_get_metadata() to obtain the metadata for the memory being accessed. For virtual memory the metadata pointers are stored in the corresponding `struct page`, therefore we need to call virt_to_page() to get them. According to the comment in arch/x86/include/asm/page.h, virt_to_page(kaddr) returns a valid pointer iff virt_addr_valid(kaddr) is true, so KMSAN needs to call virt_addr_valid() as well. To avoid recursion, kmsan_get_metadata() must not call instrumented code, therefore ./arch/x86/include/asm/kmsan.h forks parts of arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c to check whether a virtual address is valid or not. But the introduction of rcu_read_lock() to pfn_valid() added instrumented RCU API calls to virt_to_page_or_null(), which is called by kmsan_get_metadata(), so there is an infinite recursion now. I do not think it is correct to stop that recursion by doing kmsan_enter_runtime()/kmsan_exit_runtime() in kmsan_get_metadata(): that would prevent instrumented functions called from within the runtime from tracking the shadow values, which might introduce false positives." Fix the issue by switching pfn_valid() to the _sched() variant of rcu_read_lock/unlock(), which does not require calling into RCU. Given the critical section in pfn_valid() is very small, this is a reasonable trade-off (with preemptible RCU). KMSAN further needs to be careful to suppress calls into the scheduler, which would be another source of recursion. This can be done by wrapping the call to pfn_valid() into preempt_disable/enable_no_resched(). The downside is that this sacrifices breaking scheduling guarantees; however, a kernel compiled with KMSAN has already given up any performance guarantees due to being heavily instrumented. Note, KMSAN code already disables tracing via Makefile, and since mmzone.h is included, it is not necessary to use the notrace variant, which is generally preferred in all other cases.

mm/sparsemem: fix race in accessing memory_section->usage

2024-02-01T00:17:02Z

commit 5ec8e8ea8b7783fab150cf86404fc38cb4db8800 upstream. The below race is observed on a PFN which falls into the device memory region with the system memory configuration where PFN's are such that [ZONE_NORMAL ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_NORMAL]. Since normal zone start and end pfn contains the device memory PFN's as well, the compaction triggered will try on the device memory PFN's too though they end up in NOP(because pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for ZONE_DEVICE memory sections). When from other core, the section mappings are being removed for the ZONE_DEVICE region, that the PFN in question belongs to, on which compaction is currently being operated is resulting into the kernel crash with CONFIG_SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled. The crash logs can be seen at [1]. compact_zone() memunmap_pages ------------- --------------- __pageblock_pfn_to_page ...... (a)pfn_valid(): valid_section()//return true (b)__remove_pages()-> sparse_remove_section()-> section_deactivate(): [Free the array ms->usage and set ms->usage = NULL] pfn_section_valid() [Access ms->usage which is NULL] NOTE: From the above it can be said that the race is reduced to between the pfn_valid()/pfn_section_valid() and the section deactivate with SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled. The commit b943f045a9af("mm/sparse: fix kernel crash with pfn_section_valid check") tried to address the same problem by clearing the SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP with the expectation of valid_section() returns false thus ms->usage is not accessed. Fix this issue by the below steps: a) Clear SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP before freeing the ->usage. b) RCU protected read side critical section will either return NULL when SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared or can successfully access ->usage. c) Free the ->usage with kfree_rcu() and set ms->usage = NULL. No attempt will be made to access ->usage after this as the SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared thus valid_section() return false. Thanks to David/Pavan for their inputs on this patch. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/994410bb-89aa-d987-1f50-f514903c55aa@quicinc.com/ On Snapdragon SoC, with the mentioned memory configuration of PFN's as [ZONE_NORMAL ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_NORMAL], we are able to see bunch of issues daily while testing on a device farm.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention

2022-09-27T02:46:10Z

Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as requested by many desktop users [1]. When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds from getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set cannot be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag (~100ms), N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing. Larger values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of premature OOM kills. Compared with the size-based approach [2], this time-based approach has the following advantages: 1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications and memory sizes. 2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.
