* mm/balloon_compaction: suppress allocation warningsNadav Amit2019-09-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no reason to print warnings when balloon page allocation fails, as they are expected and can be handled gracefully. Since VMware balloon now uses balloon-compaction infrastructure, and suppressed these warnings before, it is also beneficial to suppress these warnings to keep the same behavior that the balloon had before.

* mm/balloon_compaction: avoid duplicate page removalWei Wang2019-07-221-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A #GP is reported in the guest when requesting balloon inflation via virtio-balloon. The reason is that the virtio-balloon driver has removed the page from its internal page list (via balloon_page_pop), but balloon_page_enqueue_one also calls "list_del" to do the removal. This is necessary when it's used from balloon_page_enqueue_list, but not from balloon_page_enqueue. Move list_del to balloon_page_enqueue, and update comments accordingly.

* virtio_balloon: fix deadlock on OOMMichael S. Tsirkin2017-11-141-7/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock. To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside the lock. Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa: In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&vb->balloon_lock) is called in order to serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(), alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is called with vb->balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock mutex. Since vb->balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it will cause OOM lockup. Thread1 Thread2 fill_balloon() takes a balloon_lock balloon_page_enqueue() alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE) direct reclaim (__GFP_FS context) takes a fs lock waits for that fs lock alloc_page(GFP_NOFS) __alloc_pages_may_oom() takes the oom_lock out_of_memory() blocking_notifier_call_chain() leak_balloon() tries to take that balloon_lock and deadlocks Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Wei Wang <wei.w.wang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

* mm/migrate: new migrate mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPYJérôme Glisse2017-09-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new migration mode that allow to offload the copy to a device DMA engine. This changes the workflow of migration and not all address_space migratepage callback can support this. This is intended to be use by migrate_vma() which itself is use for thing like HMM (see include/linux/hmm.h). No additional per-filesystem migratepage testing is needed. I disables MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in all problematic migratepage() callback and i added comment in those to explain why (part of this patch). The commit message is unclear it should say that any callback that wish to support this new mode need to be aware of the difference in the migration flow from other mode. Some of these callbacks do extra locking while copying (aio, zsmalloc, balloon, ...) and for DMA to be effective you want to copy multiple pages in one DMA operations. But in the problematic case you can not easily hold the extra lock accross multiple call to this callback. Usual flow is: For each page { 1 - lock page 2 - call migratepage() callback 3 - (extra locking in some migratepage() callback) 4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer head, ...) 5 - copy page 6 - (unlock any extra lock of migratepage() callback) 7 - return from migratepage() callback 8 - unlock page } The new mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY: 1 - lock multiple pages For each page { 2 - call migratepage() callback 3 - abort in all problematic migratepage() callback 4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer head, ...) } // finished all calls to migratepage() callback 5 - DMA copy multiple pages 6 - unlock all the pages To support MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in the problematic case we would need a new callback migratepages() (for instance) that deals with multiple pages in one transaction. Because the problematic cases are not important for current usage I did not wanted to complexify this patchset even more for no good reason.

* mm/balloon_compaction.c: don't zero ballooned pagesWei Wang2017-08-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert commit bb01b64cfab7 ("mm/balloon_compaction.c: enqueue zero page to balloon device")' Zeroing ballon pages is rather time consuming, especially when a lot of pages are in flight. E.g. 7GB worth of ballooned memory takes 2.8s with __GFP_ZERO while it takes ~491ms without it. The original commit argued that zeroing will help ksmd to merge these pages on the host but this argument is assuming that the host actually marks balloon pages for ksm which is not universally true. So we pay performance penalty for something that even might not be used in the end which is wrong. The host can zero out pages on its own when there is a need.

* | virtio_balloon: fix race between migration and ballooningMinchan Kim2016-01-121-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In balloon_page_dequeue, pages_lock should cover the loop (ie, list_for_each_entry_safe). Otherwise, the cursor page could be isolated by compaction and then list_del by isolation could poison the page->lru.{prev,next} so the loop finally could access wrong address like this.

* mm: page migration trylock newpage at same level as oldpageHugh Dickins2015-11-051-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been locked. Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate() accordingly. But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so. Cutting out BUG()s is good, right? But, to be honest, this is really to extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page. But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad, or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL. This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.
