mm/vmalloc.c: fix potential memory leak

2021-01-13T02:12:54Z

In VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES case, we should put pages and free array in vfree. But we missed to set area->nr_pages in vmap(). So we would fail to put pages in __vunmap() because area->nr_pages = 0.

mm/vmalloc.c: fix kasan shadow poisoning size

2020-12-15T20:13:42Z

The size of vm area can be affected by the presence or not of the guard page. In particular when VM_NO_GUARD is present, the actual accessible size has to be considered like the real size minus the guard page. Currently kasan does not keep into account this information during the poison operation and in particular tries to poison the guard page as well. This approach, even if incorrect, does not cause an issue because the tags for the guard page are written in the shadow memory. With the future introduction of the Tag-Based KASAN, being the guard page inaccessible by nature, the write tag operation on this page triggers a fault. Fix kasan shadow poisoning size invoking get_vm_area_size() instead of accessing directly the field in the data structure to detect the correct value.

mm/vmalloc: Fix unlock order in s_stop()

2020-12-15T20:13:42Z

When multiple locks are acquired, they should be released in reverse order. For s_start() and s_stop() in mm/vmalloc.c, that is not the case. s_start: mutex_lock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock); s_stop : mutex_unlock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_unlock(&vmap_area_lock); This unlock sequence, though allowed, is not optimal. If a waiter is present, mutex_unlock() will need to go through the slowpath of waking up the waiter with preemption disabled. Fix that by releasing the spinlock first before the mutex.

mm/vmalloc: rework the drain logic

2020-12-15T20:13:41Z

A current "lazy drain" model suffers from at least two issues. First one is related to the unsorted list of vmap areas, thus in order to identify the [min:max] range of areas to be drained, it requires a full list scan. What is a time consuming if the list is too long. Second one and as a next step is about merging all fragments with a free space. What is also a time consuming because it has to iterate over entire list which holds outstanding lazy areas. See below the "preemptirqsoff" tracer that illustrates a high latency. It is ~24676us. Our workloads like audio and video are effected by such long latency: tracer: preemptirqsoff preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 4.9.186-perf+ -------------------------------------------------------------------- latency: 24676 us, #4/4, CPU#1 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 P:8) ----------------- | task: crtc_commit:112-261 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:16) ----------------- => started at: __purge_vmap_area_lazy => ended at: __purge_vmap_area_lazy _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / crtc_com-261 1...1 1us*: _raw_spin_lock <-__purge_vmap_area_lazy [...] crtc_com-261 1...1 24675us : _raw_spin_unlock <-__purge_vmap_area_lazy crtc_com-261 1...1 24677us : trace_preempt_on <-__purge_vmap_area_lazy crtc_com-261 1...1 24683us : => free_vmap_area_noflush => remove_vm_area => __vunmap => vfree => drm_property_free_blob => drm_mode_object_unreference => drm_property_unreference_blob => __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_destroy_state => sde_crtc_destroy_state => drm_atomic_state_default_clear => drm_atomic_state_clear => drm_atomic_state_free => complete_commit => _msm_drm_commit_work_cb => kthread_worker_fn => kthread => ret_from_fork To address those two issues we can redesign a purging of the outstanding lazy areas. Instead of queuing vmap areas to the list, we replace it by the separate rb-tree. In hat case an area is located in the tree/list in ascending order. It will give us below advantages: a) Outstanding vmap areas are merged creating bigger coalesced blocks, thus it becomes less fragmented. b) It is possible to calculate a flush range [min:max] without scanning all elements. It is O(1) access time or complexity; c) The final merge of areas with the rb-tree that represents a free space is faster because of (a). As a result the lock contention is also reduced.

mm/vmalloc: use free_vm_area() if an allocation fails

2020-12-15T20:13:41Z

There is a dedicated and separate function that finds and removes a continuous kernel virtual area. As a final step it also releases the "area", a descriptor of corresponding vm_struct. Use free_vmap_area() in the __vmalloc_node_range() instead of open coded steps which are exactly the same, to perform a cleanup.

mm/vmalloc.c:__vmalloc_area_node(): avoid 32-bit overflow

2020-12-15T20:13:41Z

With a machine with 3 TB (more than 2 TB memory). If you use vmalloc to allocate > 2 TB memory, the array_size below will be overflowed. The array_size is an unsigned int and can only be used to allocate less than 2 TB memory. If you pass 2*1028*1028*1024*1024 = 2 * 2^40 in the argument of vmalloc. The array_size will become 2*2^31 = 2^32. The 2^32 cannot be store with a 32 bit integer. The fix is to change the type of array_size to unsigned long.

mm: cleanup the gfp_mask handling in __vmalloc_area_node

2020-10-18T16:27:10Z

Patch series "two small vmalloc cleanups". This patch (of 2): __vmalloc_area_node currently has four different gfp_t variables to just express this simple logic: - use the passed in mask, plus __GFP_NOWARN and __GFP_HIGHMEM (if suitable) for the underlying page allocation - use just the reclaim flags from the passed in mask plus __GFP_ZERO for allocating the page array Simplify this down to just use the pre-existing nested_gfp as-is for the page array allocation, and just the passed in gfp_mask for the page allocation, after conditionally ORing __GFP_HIGHMEM into it. This also makes the allocation warning a little more correct. Also initialize two variables at the time of declaration while touching this area.
