2018-02-21vmalloc: fix __GFP_HIGHMEM usage for vmalloc_32 on 32b systemsMichal Hocko
Kai Heng Feng has noticed that BUG_ON(PageHighMem(pg)) triggers in drivers/media/common/saa7146/saa7146_core.c since 19809c2da28a ("mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly"). saa7146_vmalloc_build_pgtable uses vmalloc_32 and it is reasonable to expect that the resulting page is not in highmem. The above commit aimed to add __GFP_HIGHMEM only for those requests which do not specify any zone modifier gfp flag. vmalloc_32 relies on GFP_VMALLOC32 which should do the right thing. Except it has been missed that GFP_VMALLOC32 is an alias for GFP_KERNEL on 32b architectures. Thanks to Matthew to notice this. Fix the problem by unconditionally setting GFP_DMA32 in GFP_VMALLOC32 for !64b arches (as a bailout). This should do the right thing and use ZONE_NORMAL which should be always below 4G on 32b systems. Debugged by Matthew Wilcox.

2017-10-13Revert "vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed"Johannes Weiner
This reverts commits 5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed") and 171012f56127 ("mm: don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to a fatal signal"). Commit 5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed") made all vmalloc allocations from a signal-killed task fail. We have seen crashes in the tty driver from this, where a killed task exiting tries to switch back to N_TTY, fails n_tty_open because of the vmalloc failing, and later crashes when dereferencing tty->disc_data. Arguably, relying on a vmalloc() call to succeed in order to properly exit a task is not the most robust way of doing things. There will be a follow-up patch to the tty code to fall back to the N_NULL ldisc. But the justification to make that vmalloc() call fail like this isn't convincing, either. The patch mentions an OOM victim exhausting the memory reserves and thus deadlocking the machine. But the OOM killer is only one, improbable source of fatal signals. It doesn't make sense to fail allocations preemptively with plenty of memory in most cases. The patch doesn't mention real-life instances where vmalloc sites would exhaust memory, which makes it sound more like a theoretical issue to begin with. But just in case, the OOM access to memory reserves has been restricted on the allocator side in cd04ae1e2dc8 ("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access"), which should take care of any theoretical concerns on that front. Revert this patch, and the follow-up that suppresses the allocation warnings when we fail the allocations due to a signal.

Commit 19809c2da28a ("mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly") added use of __GFP_HIGHMEM for allocations. vmalloc_32 may use GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32 which does not play nice with __GFP_HIGHMEM and will trigger a BUG in gfp_zone.

2017-07-12mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful ↵Michal Hocko
semantic __GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

2017-07-06mm: kmemleak: treat vm_struct as alternative reference to vmalloc'ed objectsCatalin Marinas
Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such objects as leaks. This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer. The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly.

2017-06-23mm/vmalloc.c: huge-vmap: fail gracefully on unexpected huge vmap mappingsArd Biesheuvel
Existing code that uses vmalloc_to_page() may assume that any address for which is_vmalloc_addr() returns true may be passed into vmalloc_to_page() to retrieve the associated struct page. This is not un unreasonable assumption to make, but on architectures that have CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP=y, it no longer holds, and we need to ensure that vmalloc_to_page() does not go off into the weeds trying to dereference huge PUDs or PMDs as table entries. Given that vmalloc() and vmap() themselves never create huge mappings or deal with compound pages at all, there is no correct answer in this case, so return NULL instead, and issue a warning. When reading /proc/kcore on arm64, you will hit an oops as soon as you hit the huge mappings used for the various segments that make up the mapping of vmlinux. With this patch applied, you will no longer hit the oops, but the kcore contents willl be incorrect (these regions will be zeroed out) We are fixing this for kcore specifically, so it avoids vread() for those regions. At least one other problematic user exists, i.e., /dev/kmem, but that is currently broken on arm64 for other reasons.

Commit 1f5307b1e094 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails with In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0, from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4, from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9, from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:9: arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h: In function 'nocache_page': >> arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h:339:43: error: 'init_mm' undeclared (first use in this function) #define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address) as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason In file included from include/asm-generic/io.h:767:0, from arch/nios2/include/asm/io.h:61, from include/linux/io.h:25, from arch/nios2/include/asm/pgtable.h:18, from include/linux/mm.h:70, from include/linux/pid_namespace.h:6, from include/linux/ptrace.h:9, from arch/nios2/include/uapi/asm/elf.h:23, from arch/nios2/include/asm/elf.h:22, from include/linux/elf.h:4, from include/linux/module.h:15, from init/main.c:16: include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags': include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'? which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2 includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>. Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary. This patch reverts 1f5307b1e094 and reimplements the original fix in a different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user (kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really need any games with header files.

2017-05-08mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitlyMichal Hocko
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

2017-05-08mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc usersMichal Hocko
__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by "mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given range belongs to vmalloc as a caller: 0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3 0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

2017-05-08mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpersMichal Hocko
Patch series "kvmalloc", v5. There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc fallback is available. As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory subsystem proper. Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet was not opposed [2] to convert them as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com This patch (of 9): Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive user visible action. This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g. ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be fixed separately.

2017-03-16mm: don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to a fatal signalDmitry Vyukov
When vmalloc() fails it prints a very lengthy message with all the details about memory consumption assuming that it happened due to OOM. However, vmalloc() can also fail due to fatal signal pending. In such case the message is quite confusing because it suggests that it is OOM but the numbers suggest otherwise. The messages can also pollute console considerably. Don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to fatal signal pending.

2017-03-03sched/headers: Move task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand types and ↵Ingo Molnar
accessors into <linux/sched/signal.h> task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand are pointers, which would normally make it straightforward to not define those types in sched.h. That is not so, because the types are accompanied by a myriad of APIs (macros and inline functions) that dereference them. Split the types and the APIs out of sched.h and move them into a new header, <linux/sched/signal.h>. With this change sched.h does not know about 'struct signal' and 'struct sighand' anymore, trying to put accessors into sched.h as a test fails the following way: ./include/linux/sched.h: In function ‘test_signal_types’: ./include/linux/sched.h:2461:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct signal_struct’ ^ This reduces the size and complexity of sched.h significantly. Update all headers and .c code that relied on getting the signal handling functionality from <linux/sched.h> to include <linux/sched/signal.h>. The list of affected files in the preparatory patch was partly generated by grepping for the APIs, and partly by doing coverage build testing, both all[yes|mod|def|no]config builds on 64-bit and 32-bit x86, and an array of cross-architecture builds. Nevertheless some (trivial) build breakage is still expected related to rare Kconfig combinations and in-flight patches to various kernel code, but most of it should be handled by this patch.

__vmalloc_area_node() allocates pages to cover the requested vmalloc size. This can be a lot of memory. If the current task is killed by the OOM killer, and thus has an unlimited access to memory reserves, it can consume all the memory theoretically. Fix this by checking for fatal_signal_pending and back off early.

2016-10-07mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed usersMichal Hocko
warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc allocators. This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would appreciate a slightly different warning message. This is already handled by the fmt parameter except that "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)" is printed anyway. This might be quite misleading because it might be a vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is not the culprit here. Fix this by always using the fmt string and only print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g. order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context). Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch will reuse it also for !failure cases.

2016-07-26mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator pathsVladimir Davydov
Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

2016-05-20mm/vmalloc: keep a separate lazy-free listChris Wilson
When mixing lots of vmallocs and set_memory_*() (which calls vm_unmap_aliases()) I encountered situations where the performance degraded severely due to the walking of the entire vmap_area list each invocation. One simple improvement is to add the lazily freed vmap_area to a separate lockless free list, such that we then avoid having to walk the full list on each purge.

2016-04-05mm/vmap: Add a notifier for when we run out of vmap address spaceChris Wilson
vmaps are temporary kernel mappings that may be of long duration. Reusing a vmap on an object is preferrable for a driver as the cost of setting up the vmap can otherwise dominate the operation on the object. However, the vmap address space is rather limited on 32bit systems and so we add a notification for vmap pressure in order for the driver to release any cached vmappings. The interface is styled after the oom-notifier where the callees are passed a pointer to an unsigned long counter for them to indicate if they have freed any space. v2: Guard the blocking notifier call with gfpflags_allow_blocking() v3: Correct typo in forward declaration and move to head of file Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Roman Peniaev <r.peniaev@gmail.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> # for inclusion via DRM Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1459777603-23618-3-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com>

2016-03-17mm/vmalloc: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settingJoonsoo Kim
As CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC can be enabled/disabled via kernel parameters we can optimize some cases by checking the enablement state. This is follow-up work for Christian's Optimize CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/27/194 Remaining work is to make sparc to be aware of this but it looks not easy for me so I skip that in this series. This patch (of 5): We can disable debug_pagealloc processing even if the code is complied with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This patch changes the code to query whether it is enabled or not in runtime.

Commit 71394fe50146 ("mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole allocation") missed a spot. Currently remove_vm_area() decreases vm->size to "remove" the guard hole page, even when it isn't present. All but one users just free the vm_struct rigth away and never access vm->size anyway. Don't touch the size in remove_vm_area() and have __vunmap() use the proper get_vm_area_size() helper.

combinations Andrew stated the following We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the interface. And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff? This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate some fixes and avoid future mistakes.
