Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects
address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and
__isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows
CPU1 CPU2
truncate(inode) __isolate_lru_page()
...
truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
delete_from_page_cache(page)
spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
__delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
page_cache_tree_delete(..)
... mapping = page_mapping(page);
page->mapping = NULL;
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
put_page(page)
if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space
if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage)
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.
The race is theoretically possible but unlikely. Before the
delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is
likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only
caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page. Even if the race
occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window
with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual
machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical
window.
This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the
page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not
acquired. There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a
side-effect to prevent mapping being freed. However, I do not like the
solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and
it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3.
Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he
didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have
shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another
process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables
with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now
instead for convenience and security reasons.
This patch (of 9):
The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only. And no danger in
removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is
currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No
machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are
still supported, we don't optimise for them any more. This does not
shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for
future use.

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout
rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this.
The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so
the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to
be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct {
union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout,
but is easier to read.

This series does not attempt any grand restructuring. Instead, it cures

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before
scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process
which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in
uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a
long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the
below khugepaged hung issue:
INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the
semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to
scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so
that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then
khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the
current round full_scan.
And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a
little bit.

Patch series "Do not lose dirty bit on THP pages", v4.
Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose
dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but
before set_pmd_at().
The bug can lead to data loss, but the race window is tiny and I haven't
seen any reports that suggested that it happens in reality. So I don't
think it worth sending it to stable.
Unfortunately, there's no way to address the issue in a generic way. We
need to fix all architectures that support THP one-by-one.
All architectures that have THP supported have to provide atomic
pmdp_invalidate() that returns previous value.
If generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() is used, architecture
needs to provide atomic pmdp_estabish().
pmdp_estabish() is not used out-side generic implementation of
pmdp_invalidate() so far, but I think this can change in the future.
This patch (of 12):
This is an implementation of pmdp_establish() that is only suitable for
an architecture that doesn't have hardware dirty/accessed bits. In this
case we can't race with CPU which sets these bits and non-atomic
approach is fine.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that. That's a sign of a bad interface.
Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

If THP migration is enabled, for a VMA handled by userfaultfd, consider
the following situation,
do_page_fault()
__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page()
handle_userfault()
userfault_msg()
/* a huge page is allocated and mapped at fault address */
/* the huge page is under migration, leaves migration entry
in page table */
userfaultfd_must_wait()
/* return true because !pmd_present() */
/* may wait in loop until fatal signal */
That is, it may be possible for userfaultfd_must_wait() encounters a PMD
entry which is !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(). In the current
implementation, we will wait for such PMD entries, which may cause
unnecessary waiting, and potential soft lockup.
This is fixed via avoiding to wait when !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(),
only wait when pmd_none().
This may be not a problem in practice, because userfaultfd_must_wait()
is always called with mm->mmap_sem read-locked. mremap() will
write-lock mm->mmap_sem. And UFFDIO_COPY doesn't support to copy THP
mapping. But the change introduced still makes the code more correct,
and makes the PMD and PTE code more consistent.

If start_code / end_code pointers are screwed then "VmExe" could be
bigger than total executable virtual memory and "VmLib" becomes
negative:
VmExe: 294320 kB
VmLib: 18446744073709327564 kB
VmExe and VmLib documented as text segment and shared library code size.
Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of
executable and not writable and not stack areas.
I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole
world inside. For it start_code .. end_code range also covers one of
rodata sections. Probably this is bug in customized linker, elf loader
or both.
Anyway CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE allows to change these pointers, thus
we cannot trust them without validation.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303 ("Allow
huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
acceptable to use the zone back then.
Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to
be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
movable zones.
Mel said:
: Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with
: the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of
: which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory
: useless pinned in the huge pages pool.

Architectures like PPC64 support mmap hint address based large address
space selection. This test can be run on those architectures too. Move
the test from the x86 selftests to selftest/vm so that other
architectures can use it too.
We also add a few new test scenarios in this patch. We do test a few
boundary conditions before we do a high address mmap. PPC64 uses the
address limit to validate the address in the fault path. We had bugs in
this area w.r.t SLB fault handling before we updated the addess limit.
We also touch the allocated space to make sure we don't have any bugs in
the fault handling path.

Shakeel Butt reported he has observed in production systems that the job
loader gets stuck for 10s of seconds while doing a mount operation. It
turns out that it was stuck in register_shrinker() because some
unrelated job was under memory pressure and was spending time in
shrink_slab(). Machines have a lot of shrinkers registered and jobs
under memory pressure have to traverse all of those memcg-aware
shrinkers and affect unrelated jobs which want to register their own
shrinkers.
To solve the issue, this patch simply bails out slab shrinking if it is
found that someone wants to register a shrinker in parallel. A downside
is it could cause unfair shrinking between shrinkers. However, it
should be rare and we can add compilcated logic if we find it's not
enough.
