xarray: Fix early termination of xas_for_each_marked

2020-03-12T21:42:08Z

xas_for_each_marked() is using entry == NULL as a termination condition of the iteration. When xas_for_each_marked() is used protected only by RCU, this can however race with xas_store(xas, NULL) in the following way: TASK1 TASK2 page_cache_delete() find_get_pages_range_tag() xas_for_each_marked() xas_find_marked() off = xas_find_chunk() xas_store(&xas, NULL) xas_init_marks(&xas); ... rcu_assign_pointer(*slot, NULL); entry = xa_entry(off); And thus xas_for_each_marked() terminates prematurely possibly leading to missed entries in the iteration (translating to missing writeback of some pages or a similar problem). If we find a NULL entry that has been marked, skip it (unless we're trying to allocate an entry).

XArray: Optimise xas_sibling() if !CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI

If CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI is disabled, then xas_sibling() must be false. Reported-by: JaeJoon Jung Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)

XArray: Fix xas_pause for large multi-index entries

2020-01-31T20:09:49Z

Inspired by the recent Coverity report, I looked for other places where the offset wasn't being converted to an unsigned long before being shifted, and I found one in xas_pause() when the entry being paused is of order >32.

XArray: Fix xa_find_next for large multi-index entries

2020-01-31T20:09:36Z

Coverity pointed out that xas_sibling() was shifting xa_offset without promoting it to an unsigned long first, so the shift could cause an overflow and we'd get the wrong answer. The fix is obvious, and the new test-case provokes UBSAN to report an error: runtime error: shift exponent 60 is too large for 32-bit type 'int' Fixes: 19c30f4dd092 ("XArray: Fix xa_find_after with multi-index entries") Reported-by: Bjorn Helgaas Reported-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

XArray: Fix xas_find returning too many entries

2020-01-18T03:33:33Z

If you call xas_find() with the initial index > max, it should have returned NULL but was returning the entry at index. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

XArray: Fix xa_find_after with multi-index entries

2020-01-18T03:33:27Z

If the entry is of an order which is a multiple of XA_CHUNK_SIZE, the current detection of sibling entries does not work. Factor out an xas_sibling() function to make xa_find_after() a little more understandable, and write a new implementation that doesn't suffer from the same bug.

XArray: Fix infinite loop with entry at ULONG_MAX

2020-01-18T03:32:24Z

If there is an entry at ULONG_MAX, xa_for_each() will overflow the 'index + 1' in xa_find_after() and wrap around to 0. Catch this case and terminate the loop by returning NULL. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

XArray: Fix xas_pause at ULONG_MAX

2019-11-09T04:48:40Z

If we were unlucky enough to call xas_pause() when the index was at ULONG_MAX (or a multi-slot entry which ends at ULONG_MAX), we would wrap the index back around to 0 and restart the iteration from the beginning. Use the XAS_BOUNDS state to indicate that we should just stop the iteration. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)

XArray: Fix xas_next() with a single entry at 0

2019-07-01T21:11:16Z

If there is only a single entry at 0, the first time we call xas_next(), we return the entry. Unfortunately, all subsequent times we call xas_next(), we also return the entry at 0 instead of noticing that the xa_index is now greater than zero. This broke find_get_pages_contig().

mm: fix page cache convergence regression

2019-05-31T17:52:41Z

Since a28334862993 ("page cache: Finish XArray conversion"), on most major Linux distributions, the page cache doesn't correctly transition when the hot data set is changing, and leaves the new pages thrashing indefinitely instead of kicking out the cold ones. On a freshly booted, freshly ssh'd into virtual machine with 1G RAM running stock Arch Linux: [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest.sh + dd of=workingset-a bs=1M count=0 seek=600 + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + ./mincore workingset-a 153600/153600 workingset-a + dd of=workingset-b bs=1M count=0 seek=600 + cat workingset-b + cat workingset-b + cat workingset-b + cat workingset-b + ./mincore workingset-a workingset-b 104029/153600 workingset-a 120086/153600 workingset-b + cat workingset-b + cat workingset-b + cat workingset-b + cat workingset-b + ./mincore workingset-a workingset-b 104029/153600 workingset-a 120268/153600 workingset-b workingset-b is a 600M file on a 1G host that is otherwise entirely idle. No matter how often it's being accessed, it won't get cached. While investigating, I noticed that the non-resident information gets aggressively reclaimed - /proc/vmstat::workingset_nodereclaim. This is a problem because a workingset transition like this relies on the non-resident information tracked in the page cache tree of evicted file ranges: when the cache faults are refaults of recently evicted cache, we challenge the existing active set, and that allows a new workingset to establish itself. Tracing the shrinker that maintains this memory revealed that all page cache tree nodes were allocated to the root cgroup. This is a problem, because 1) the shrinker sizes the amount of non-resident information it keeps to the size of the cgroup's other memory and 2) on most major Linux distributions, only kernel threads live in the root cgroup and everything else gets put into services or session groups: [root@ham ~]# cat /proc/self/cgroup 0::/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-c1.scope As a result, we basically maintain no non-resident information for the workloads running on the system, thus breaking the caching algorithm. Looking through the code, I found the culprit in the above-mentioned patch: when switching from the radix tree to xarray, it dropped the __GFP_ACCOUNT flag from the tree node allocations - the flag that makes sure the allocated memory gets charged to and tracked by the cgroup of the calling process - in this case, the one doing the fault. To fix this, allow xarray users to specify per-tree flag that makes xarray allocate nodes using __GFP_ACCOUNT. Then restore the page cache tree annotation to request such cgroup tracking for the cache nodes. With this patch applied, the page cache correctly converges on new workingsets again after just a few iterations: [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest.sh + dd of=workingset-a bs=1M count=0 seek=600 + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + cat workingset-a + ./mincore workingset-a 153600/153600 workingset-a + dd of=workingset-b bs=1M count=0 seek=600 + cat workingset-b + ./mincore workingset-a workingset-b 124607/153600 workingset-a 87876/153600 workingset-b + cat workingset-b + ./mincore workingset-a workingset-b 81313/153600 workingset-a 133321/153600 workingset-b + cat workingset-b + ./mincore workingset-a workingset-b 63036/153600 workingset-a 153600/153600 workingset-b Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.20+ Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
