mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

lib/idr.c: remove redundant include

2015-02-13T02:54:15Z

idr.c doesn't seem to use anything from hardirq.h (or anything included from that). Removing it produces identical objdump -d output, and gives 44 fewer lines in the .idr.o.cmd dependency file. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lib/idr.c: fix out-of-bounds pointer dereference

2014-08-08T22:57:24Z

I'm working on address sanitizer project for kernel. Recently we started experiments with stack instrumentation, to detect out-of-bounds read/write bugs on stack. Just after booting I've hit out-of-bounds read on stack in idr_for_each (and in __idr_remove_all as well): struct idr_layer **paa = &pa[0]; while (id >= 0 && id <= max) { ... while (n < fls(id)) { n += IDR_BITS; p = *--paa; <--- here we are reading pa[-1] value. } } Despite the fact that after this dereference we are exiting out of loop and never use p, such behaviour is undefined and should be avoided. Fix this by moving pointer derference to the beggining of the loop, right before we will use it.

idr: don't need to shink the free list when idr_remove()

2014-06-06T23:08:12Z

After idr subsystem is changed to RCU-awared, the free layer will not go to the free list. The free list will not be filled up when idr_remove(). So we don't need to shink it too. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

idr: fix idr_replace()'s returned error code

2014-06-06T23:08:12Z

When the smaller id is not found, idr_replace() returns -ENOENT. But when the id is bigger enough, idr_replace() returns -EINVAL, actually there is no difference between these two kinds of ids. These are all unallocated id, the return values of the idr_replace() for these ids should be the same: -ENOENT.

idr: fix NULL pointer dereference when ida_remove(unallocated_id)

2014-06-06T23:08:12Z

If the ida has at least one existing id, and when an unallocated ID which meets a certain condition is passed to the ida_remove(), the system will crash because it hits NULL pointer dereference. The condition is that the unallocated ID shares the same lowest idr layer with the existing ID, but the idr slot would be different if the unallocated ID were to be allocated. In this case the matching idr slot for the unallocated_id is NULL, causing @bitmap to be NULL which the function dereferences without checking crashing the kernel. See the test code: static void test3(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDA(test_ida); printk(KERN_INFO "Start test3\n"); if (ida_pre_get(&test_ida, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) return; if (ida_get_new(&test_ida, &id) < 0) return; ida_remove(&test_ida, 4000); /* bug: null deference here */ printk(KERN_INFO "End of test3\n"); } It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the proper check and complain rather than crashing the kernel.

idr: fix unexpected ID-removal when idr_remove(unallocated_id)

2014-06-06T23:08:12Z

If unallocated_id = (ANY * idr_max(idp->layers) + existing_id) is passed to idr_remove(). The existing_id will be removed unexpectedly. The following test shows this unexpected id-removal: static void test4(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "Start test4\n"); id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, 42, 43, GFP_KERNEL); BUG_ON(id != 42); idr_remove(&test_idr, 42 + IDR_SIZE); TEST_BUG_ON(idr_find(&test_idr, 42) != (void *)1); idr_destroy(&test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "End of test4\n"); } ida_remove() shares the similar problem. It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the proper check and complain rather than removing an existing_id silently.
