* nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.Paul Mundt2008-06-121-18/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03670c7a544a56d441eb1a6cc800d72b. As Christoph points out: virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to figure out if a page is valid. Otherwise the page struct reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set to indicate that it is not a valid page. As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d07f15b267eecb20e76a48fd5c524ef on the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work fine. It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

* mm: Minor clean-up of page flags in mm/page_alloc.cRuss Anderson2008-06-091-31/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Minor source code cleanup of page flags in mm/page_alloc.c. Move the definition of the groups of bits to page-flags.h. The purpose of this clean up is that the next patch will conditionally add a page flag to the groups. Doing that in a header file is cleaner than adding #ifdefs to the C code.

* nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUBPaul Mundt2008-06-061-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's reuse of the index in struct slob_page. Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object. Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2 Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's patches: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2 This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of object abuse entirely.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide if it should use the bootmem allocator or not. When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore. So the allocation will fail. To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it everywhere else.

* memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmapHeiko Carstens2008-05-142-41/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page. Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype() returns also random stuff and therefore list_add(&page->lru, &zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]); in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even necessarily a list. This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span() are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens. The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

* fix SMP data race in pagetable setup vs walkingNick Piggin2008-05-141-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a possible data race in the page table walking code. After the split ptlock patches, it actually seems to have been introduced to the core code, but even before that I think it would have impacted some architectures (powerpc and sparc64, at least, walk the page tables without taking locks eg. see find_linux_pte()). The race is as follows: The pte page is allocated, zeroed, and its struct page gets its spinlock initialized. The mm-wide ptl is then taken, and then the pte page is inserted into the pagetables. At this point, the spinlock is not guaranteed to have ordered the previous stores to initialize the pte page with the subsequent store to put it in the page tables. So another Linux page table walker might be walking down (without any locks, because we have split-leaf-ptls), and find that new pte we've inserted. It might try to take the spinlock before the store from the other CPU initializes it. And subsequently it might read a pte_t out before stores from the other CPU have cleared the memory. There are also similar races in higher levels of the page tables. They obviously don't involve the spinlock, but could see uninitialized memory. Arch code and hardware pagetable walkers that walk the pagetables without locks could see similar uninitialized memory problems, regardless of whether split ptes are enabled or not. I prefer to put the barriers in core code, because that's where the higher level logic happens, but the page table accessors are per-arch, and open-coding them everywhere I don't think is an option. I'll put the read-side barriers in alpha arch code for now (other architectures perform data-dependent loads in order).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32. That came from 9fc34113f6880b215cbea4e7017fc818700384c2 x86: debug pmd_bad(); but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous version: pagetable pages above 4GB looked bad and stopped Arjan from booting. And revert that cded932b75ab0a5f9181ee3da34a0a488d1a14fd x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages. It was the wrong way round: we shouldn't weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected. Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that should be a later patch. Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge() because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests. Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check? No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits. However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get called on a huge page? get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.

Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing other sections. This dependency is not desirable for memory removing. Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and section B has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency each other. To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat. If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be removed finally.

* infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objectsThomas Gleixner2008-04-304-4/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

* mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counterMiklos Szeredi2008-04-302-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings (normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete. By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone. This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used as temporary buffers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

So, it's called twice before and after lock. mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(); lock(); mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(); .... unlock(); And address of mz never changes. This is not good. This patch fixes this behavior.
