mm: fix unexpected changes to {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr

2022-12-02T16:43:13+00:00

commit ea4452de2ae987342fadbdd2c044034e6480daad upstream. When we specify __GFP_NOWARN, we only expect that no warnings will be issued for current caller. But in the __should_failslab() and __should_fail_alloc_page(), the local GFP flags alter the global {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr, which is persistent and shared by all tasks. This is not what we expected, let's fix it.

mm: prep_compound_tail() clear page->private

2022-11-03T15:00:23+00:00

commit 5aae9265ee1a30cf716d6caf6b29fe99b9d55130 upstream. Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there). But now commit 71e2d666ef85 ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be non-0 (unless it's swapcache). Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003, dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private. We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).

mm: prevent page_frag_alloc() from corrupting the memory

2022-09-26T19:14:34+00:00

A number of drivers call page_frag_alloc() with a fragment's size > PAGE_SIZE. In low memory conditions, __page_frag_cache_refill() may fail the order 3 cache allocation and fall back to order 0; In this case, the cache will be smaller than the fragment, causing memory corruptions. Prevent this from happening by checking if the newly allocated cache is large enough for the fragment; if not, the allocation will fail and page_frag_alloc() will return NULL.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation

2022-09-11T23:22:29+00:00

Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE, build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone span updates. As David Hildenbrand puts it memory offlining adjusts managed+present pages of the zone essentially in one go. If after the adjustments, the zone is no longer populated (present==0), we rebuild the zone lists. Once that's done, we try shrinking the zone (start+spanned pages) -- which results in zone_start_pfn == 0 if there are no more pages. That happens *after* rebuilding the zonelists via remove_pfn_range_from_zone(). The only requirement to fix the race is that a page allocation request identifies when a zonelist rebuild has happened since the allocation request started and no page has yet been allocated. Use a seqlock_t to track zonelist updates with a lockless read-side of the zonelist and protecting the rebuild and update of the counter with a spinlock.

page_alloc: fix invalid watermark check on a negative value

2022-07-29T18:33:37+00:00

There was a report that a task is waiting at the throttle_direct_reclaim. The pgscan_direct_throttle in vmstat was increasing. This is a bug where zone_watermark_fast returns true even when the free is very low. The commit f27ce0e14088 ("page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast") changed the watermark fast to consider highatomic reserve. But it did not handle a negative value case which can be happened when reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than the actual free. If watermark is considered as ok for the negative value, allocating contexts for order-0 will consume all free pages without direct reclaim, and finally free page may become depleted except highatomic free. Then allocating contexts may fall into throttle_direct_reclaim. This symptom may easily happen in a system where wmark min is low and other reclaimers like kswapd does not make free pages quickly. Handle the negative case by using MIN.
