augmented rbtree: add new RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS_MAX macro

2019-09-26T00:51:39Z

Add RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS_MAX, which generates augmented rbtree callbacks for the case where the augmented value is a scalar whose definition follows a max(f(node)) pattern. This actually covers all present uses of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS, and saves some (source) code duplication in the various RBCOMPUTE function definitions.

mm/vmalloc.c: move 'area->pages' after if statement

2019-09-24T22:54:10Z

If !area->pages statement is true where memory allocation fails, area is freed. In this case 'area->pages = pages' should not executed. So move 'area->pages = pages' after if statement.

mm/vmalloc: modify struct vmap_area to reduce its size

2019-09-24T22:54:10Z

Objective --------- The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space. After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been reduced from 11 words to 8 words. Description ----------- 1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list". This is no problem because A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in "free" tree B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in vmap_purge_list 2) Eliminate "flags". ;Since only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same thing can be done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the "flags" can be eliminated.

mm/vmalloc: do not keep unpurged areas in the busy tree

2019-09-24T22:54:10Z

The busy tree can be quite big, even though the area is freed or unmapped it still stays there until "purge" logic removes it. 1) Optimize and reduce the size of "busy" tree by removing a node from it right away as soon as user triggers free paths. It is possible to do so, because the allocation is done using another augmented tree. The vmalloc test driver shows the difference, for example the "fix_size_alloc_test" is ~11% better comparing with default configuration: sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 993985 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973554 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12617652 usec Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 882263 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973407 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12593929 usec 2) Since the busy tree now contains allocated areas only and does not interfere with lazily free nodes, introduce the new function show_purge_info() that dumps "unpurged" areas that is propagated through "/proc/vmallocinfo". 3) Eliminate VM_LAZY_FREE flag.

vmalloc: lift the arm flag for coherent mappings to common code

2019-09-04T09:13:19Z

The arm architecture had a VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag to mark DMA coherent remapping for a while. Lift this flag to common code so that we can use it generically. We also check it in the only place VM_USERMAP is directly check so that we can entirely replace that flag as well (although I'm not even sure why we'd want to allow remapping DMA appings, but I'd rather not change behavior).

mm/vmalloc.c: fix percpu free VM area search criteria

2019-08-13T23:06:52Z

Recent changes to the vmalloc code by commit 68ad4a330433 ("mm/vmalloc.c: keep track of free blocks for vmap allocation") can cause spurious percpu allocation failures. These, in turn, can result in panic()s in the slub code. One such possible panic was reported by Dave Hansen in following link https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/19/939. Another related panic observed is, RIP: 0033:0x7f46f7441b9b Call Trace: dump_stack+0x61/0x80 pcpu_alloc.cold.30+0x22/0x4f mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x110/0x650 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0x133/0x330 cgroup_mkdir+0x41b/0x500 kernfs_iop_mkdir+0x5a/0x90 vfs_mkdir+0x102/0x1b0 do_mkdirat+0x7d/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 VMALLOC memory manager divides the entire VMALLOC space (VMALLOC_START to VMALLOC_END) into multiple VM areas (struct vm_areas), and it mainly uses two lists (vmap_area_list & free_vmap_area_list) to track the used and free VM areas in VMALLOC space. And pcpu_get_vm_areas(offsets[], sizes[], nr_vms, align) function is used for allocating congruent VM areas for percpu memory allocator. In order to not conflict with VMALLOC users, pcpu_get_vm_areas allocates VM areas near the end of the VMALLOC space. So the search for free vm_area for the given requirement starts near VMALLOC_END and moves upwards towards VMALLOC_START. Prior to commit 68ad4a330433, the search for free vm_area in pcpu_get_vm_areas() involves following two main steps. Step 1: Find a aligned "base" adress near VMALLOC_END. va = free vm area near VMALLOC_END Step 2: Loop through number of requested vm_areas and check, Step 2.1: if (base < VMALLOC_START) 1. fail with error Step 2.2: // end is offsets[area] + sizes[area] if (base + end > va->vm_end) 1. Move the base downwards and repeat Step 2 Step 2.3: if (base + start < va->vm_start) 1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned base address and repeat Step 2 But Commit 68ad4a330433 removed Step 2.2 and modified Step 2.3 as below: Step 2.3: if (base + start < va->vm_start || base + end > va->vm_end) 1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned base address and repeat Step 2 Above change is the root cause of spurious percpu memory allocation failures. For example, consider a case where a relatively large vm_area (~ 30 TB) was ignored in free vm_area search because it did not pass the base + end < vm->vm_end boundary check. Ignoring such large free vm_area's would lead to not finding free vm_area within boundary of VMALLOC_start to VMALLOC_END which in turn leads to allocation failures. So modify the search algorithm to include Step 2.2.

mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()

2019-07-22T08:18:30Z

On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables are not shared between processes. This can cause mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap area to persist in some page-tables after the region is unmapped and released. When the region is re-used the processes with the old mappings do not fault in the new mappings but still access the old ones. This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data corruption, kernel oopses and panics and even spontaneous reboots. Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the vmalloc/ioremap area to all page-tables in the system before the regions can be re-used.

mm: vmalloc: show number of vmalloc pages in /proc/meminfo

2019-07-12T18:05:47Z

Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks, bpf and percpu allocator are new top users), and the total % of memory consumed by vmalloc() can be pretty significant and changes dynamically. /proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information: its top goal is to show top consumers of the memory. Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use for quite a long time (it has been defined to 0 by a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the actual physical memory consumption of vmalloc().

Trigger a warning if an object that is about to be freed is detached. We used to have a BUG_ON(), but even though it is considered as faulty behaviour that is not a good reason to break a system.
