2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-12-30memcg: fix wrong VM_BUG_ON() in try_charge()'s mm->owner checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
At __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), VM_BUG_ON(!mm->owner) is checked. But as commented in mem_cgroup_from_task(), mm->owner can be NULL in some racy case. This check of VM_BUG_ON() is bad. A possible story to hit this is at swapoff()->try_to_unuse(). It passes mm_struct to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() while mm->owner is NULL. If we can't get proper mem_cgroup from swap_cgroup information, mm->owner is used as charge target and we see NULL.

2010-12-18vmstat: User per cpu atomics to avoid interrupt disable / enableChristoph Lameter
Currently the operations to increment vm counters must disable interrupts in order to not mess up their housekeeping of counters. So use this_cpu_cmpxchg() to avoid the overhead. Since we can no longer count on preremption being disabled we still have some minor issues. The fetching of the counter thresholds is racy. A threshold from another cpu may be applied if we happen to be rescheduled on another cpu. However, the following vmstat operation will then bring the counter again under the threshold limit. The operations for __xxx_zone_state are not changed since the caller has taken care of the synchronization needs (and therefore the cycle count is even less than the optimized version for the irq disable case provided here). The optimization using this_cpu_cmpxchg will only be used if the arch supports efficient this_cpu_ops (must have CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set!) The use of this_cpu_cmpxchg reduces the cycle count for the counter operations by %80 (inc_zone_page_state goes from 170 cycles to 32). Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>

__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu instance. However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through segment prefixes). Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the address of the variable is not used.

2010-12-15install_special_mapping skips security_file_mmap check.Tavis Ormandy
The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting the available pages for special mappings. bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have the security check. $ uname -m x86_64 $ cat /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr 65536 $ cat install_special_mapping.s section .bss resb BSS_SIZE section .text global _start _start: mov eax, __NR_pause int 0x80 $ nasm -D__NR_pause=29 -DBSS_SIZE=0xfffed000 -f elf -o install_special_mapping.o install_special_mapping.s $ ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext=0x10000 -Tbss=0x11000 -o install_special_mapping install_special_mapping.o $ ./install_special_mapping & [1] 14303 $ cat /proc/14303/maps 0000f000-00010000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 00010000-00011000 r-xp 00001000 00:19 2453665 /home/taviso/install_special_mapping 00011000-ffffe000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] It's worth noting that Red Hat are shipping with mmap_min_addr set to 4096.

2010-12-06PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swapRafael J. Wysocki
There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often. This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask. This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

2010-12-02vmalloc: eagerly clear ptes on vunmapJeremy Fitzhardinge
On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running: # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith # find /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen. Often it results in oops messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly and made Xen print some rude messages: (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp 3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7) (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp 1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb) (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04 Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it. This is because vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages while still having these RW aliases. Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages. Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB itself as needed to maintain its invariants. When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes immediately. There's no point in deferring this because there's no amortization benefit. The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the cost of the IPIs. This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf877b60 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped pages") . XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

Setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y and then running the libhugetlbfs test suite, resulted in the tripping of VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in unlock_page() having been called by hugetlb_fault() when page == pagecache_page.

2010-11-25mm: remove call to find_vma in pagewalk for non-hugetlbfsDavid Sterba
Commit d33b9f45 ("mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in walk_page_range()") introduces a check if a vma is a hugetlbfs one and later in 5dc37642 ("mm hugetlb: add hugepage support to pagemap") it is moved under #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE but a needless find_vma call is left behind and its result is not used anywhere else in the function. The side-effect of caching vma for @addr inside walk->mm is neither utilized in walk_page_range() nor in called functions.

2010-11-25cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurableMichal Hocko
Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature. This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting may be very usuful for some workloads. This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected then the feature is turned on by default. It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic (defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with noswapaccount). The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

And after this patch, we set/clear mc.moving_task outside mc.lock, because we use the lock only to check mc.from/to.

2010-11-12radix-tree: fix RCU bugNick Piggin
Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug: In the following case, we get can get a deadlock: 0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0. 1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock. 2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item. 3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for deletion after the readers finish. 3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in the rcu-delayed indirect node. 4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref count 5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop. The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

2010-11-12mm/vfs: revalidate page->mapping in do_generic_file_read()Dave Hansen
70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we ran into a NULL dereference in here: int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc, unsigned long from) { ----> struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host; It looks like page->mapping was the culprit. (xmon trace is below). After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling block_is_partially_uptodate(). However, it doesn't revalidate the page->mapping after the page is locked. So, there's a small window between the find_get_page() and ->is_partially_uptodate() where the page could get truncated and page->mapping cleared. We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly can be truncated. I think the correct thing is to check page->mapping after the trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated. This patch has been running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not seen this bug pop up again. xmon info: 1f:mon> e cpu 0x1f: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c0000002ae36f770] pc: c0000000001e7a6c: .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xc/0x100 lr: c000000000142944: .generic_file_aio_read+0x1e4/0x770 sp: c0000002ae36f9f0 msr: 8000000000009032 dar: 0 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc000000378f99e30 paca = 0xc000000000f66300 pid = 21946, comm = bash 1f:mon> r R00 = 0025c0500000006d R16 = 0000000000000000 R01 = c0000002ae36f9f0 R17 = c000000362cd3af0 R02 = c000000000e8cd80 R18 = ffffffffffffffff R03 = c0000000031d0f88 R19 = 0000000000000001 R04 = c0000002ae36fa68 R20 = c0000003bb97b8a0 R05 = 0000000000000000 R21 = c0000002ae36fa68 R06 = 0000000000000000 R22 = 0000000000000000 R07 = 0000000000000001 R23 = c0000002ae36fbb0 R08 = 0000000000000002 R24 = 0000000000000000 R09 = 0000000000000000 R25 = c000000362cd3a80 R10 = 0000000000000000 R26 = 0000000000000002 R11 = c0000000001e7b60 R27 = 0000000000000000 R12 = 0000000042000484 R28 = 0000000000000001 R13 = c000000000f66300 R29 = c0000003bb97b9b8 R14 = 0000000000000001 R30 = c000000000e28a08 R15 = 000000000000ffff R31 = c0000000031d0f88 pc = c0000000001e7a6c .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xc/0x100 lr = c000000000142944 .generic_file_aio_read+0x1e4/0x770 msr = 8000000000009032 cr = 22000488 ctr = c0000000001e7a60 xer = 0000000020000000 trap = 300 dar = 0000000000000000 dsisr = 40000000 1f:mon> t [link register ] c000000000142944 .generic_file_aio_read+0x1e4/0x770 [c0000002ae36f9f0] c000000000142a14 .generic_file_aio_read+0x2b4/0x770 (unreliable) [c0000002ae36fb40] c0000000001b03e4 .do_sync_read+0xd4/0x160 [c0000002ae36fce0] c0000000001b153c .vfs_read+0xec/0x1f0 [c0000002ae36fd80] c0000000001b1768 .SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 [c0000002ae36fe30] c00000000000852c syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 --- Exception: c00 (System Call) at 00000080a840bc54 SP (fffca15df30) is in userspace 1f:mon> di c0000000001e7a6c c0000000001e7a6c e9290000 ld r9,0(r9) c0000000001e7a70 418200c0 beq c0000000001e7b30 # .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xd0/0x100 c0000000001e7a74 e9440008 ld r10,8(r4) c0000000001e7a78 78a80020 clrldi r8,r5,32 c0000000001e7a7c 3c000001 lis r0,1 c0000000001e7a80 812900a8 lwz r9,168(r9) c0000000001e7a84 39600001 li r11,1 c0000000001e7a88 7c080050 subf r0,r8,r0 c0000000001e7a8c 7f805040 cmplw cr7,r0,r10 c0000000001e7a90 7d6b4830 slw r11,r11,r9 c0000000001e7a94 796b0020 clrldi r11,r11,32 c0000000001e7a98 419d00a8 bgt cr7,c0000000001e7b40 # .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xe0/0x100 c0000000001e7a9c 7fa55840 cmpld cr7,r5,r11 c0000000001e7aa0 7d004214 add r8,r0,r8 c0000000001e7aa4 79080020 clrldi r8,r8,32 c0000000001e7aa8 419c0078 blt cr7,c0000000001e7b20 # .block_is_partially_uptodate+0xc0/0x100 Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: <arunabal@in.ibm.com> Cc: <sbest@us.ibm.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-11-09perf_events: Fix perf_counter_mmap() hook in mprotect()Pekka Enberg
As pointed out by Linus, commit dab5855 ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to mprotect_fixup(). Note: there's another successful return path from mprotect_fixup() if old flags equal to new flags. We don't, however, need to call perf_event_mmap() there because 'perf' already knows the VMA is executable.

2010-10-30audit mmapAl Viro
Normal syscall audit doesn't catch 5th argument of syscall. It also doesn't catch the contents of userland structures pointed to be syscall argument, so for both old and new mmap(2) ABI it doesn't record the descriptor we are mapping. For old one it also misses flags. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
