net/mlx4_en: Fixing TX queue stop/wake flow

Removing the ring->blocked flag, it is redundant and leads to a race:

We close the TX queue and then set the "blocked" flag.
Between those 2 operations the completion function can check the "blocked"

A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little

sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough,
it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection

results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments.

In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of
DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than
a full ring.  The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger

Therefore:
1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific
   limit.
2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then

block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.

This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.

Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

blk_set_stacking_limits is intended to allow stacking drivers to build
up the limits of the stacked device based on the underlying devices'
limits.  But defaulting 'max_sectors' to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1024)
doesn't allow the stacking driver to inherit a max_sectors larger than
1024 -- due to blk_stack_limits' use of min_not_zero.

It is now clear that this artificial limit is getting in the way so
change blk_set_stacking_limits's max_sectors to UINT_MAX (which allows
stacking drivers like dm-multipath to inherit 'max_sectors' from the

The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce.  To reproduce it I was
doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.

$ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done

On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
rebooted.  The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON.  shutdown will also hang and needs a
hard reset or a sysrq-b.

The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown.  For
the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex.  In some cases,
it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.

Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
situation

Process A Process B
--------- ---------
hugetlb_fault shmdt
   LockWrite(mmap_sem)
       do_munmap
    unmap_region
      unmap_vmas
        unmap_single_vma
          unmap_hugepage_range
                   Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
    Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
    huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
    Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
                   Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
  huge_pte_alloc       ...
    Lock(i_mmap_mutex)       ...
    vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte       ...
    Lock(mm->page_table_lock)       ...
    share spte       ...
    Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)       ...
    Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)       ...
  hugetlb_no_page   <--- (2)
      free_pgtables
        unlink_file_vma
hugetlb_free_pgd_range
    remove_vma_list

In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
Process B that is trying to tear them down.  The i_mmap_mutex on its own
does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables.  At (1) above,
the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs.  Process A sets
up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry.  Process B then trips
up on it in free_pgtables.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
__unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
be destroyed.  This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex.  This makes the VMA
ineligible for sharing and avoids the race.  Superficially this looks like
it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
does not support madvise(DONTNEED).

This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.

Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.

tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes

When tmpfs has the interleave memory policy, it always starts allocating
for each file from node 0 at offset 0.  When there are many small files,
the lower nodes fill up disproportionately.

This patch spreads out node usage by starting files at nodes other than 0,
by using the inode number to bias the starting node for interleave.

Gavin Shan [Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:46:06 +0000 (16:46 -0700)]
mm/sparse: remove index_init_lock

sparse_index_init() uses the index_init_lock spinlock to protect root
mem_section assignment.  The lock is not necessary anymore because the
function is called only during boot (during paging init which is executed
only from a single CPU) and from the hotplug code (by add_memory() via
arch_add_memory()) which uses mem_hotplug_mutex.

The lock was introduced by 28ae55c9 ("sparsemem extreme: hotplug
preparation") and sparse_index_init() was used only during boot at that
time.

Later when the hotplug code (and add_memory()) was introduced there was no
synchronization so it was possible to online more sections from the same
root probably (though I am not 100% sure about that).  The first
synchronization has been added by 6ad696d2 ("mm: allow memory hotplug and
hibernation in the same kernel") which was later replaced by the
mem_hotplug_mutex - 20d6c96b ("mem-hotplug: introduce
{un}lock_memory_hotplug()").

Let's remove the lock as it is not needed and it makes the code more
confusing.

12 years agomemcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages
Hugh Dickins [Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:45:59 +0000 (16:45 -0700)]
memcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages

The may_enter_fs test turns out to be too restrictive: though I saw no
problem with it when testing on 3.5-rc6, it very soon OOMed when I tested
on 3.5-rc6-mm1.  I don't know what the difference there is, perhaps I just
slightly changed the way I started off the testing: dd if=/dev/zero
of=/mnt/temp bs=1M count=1024; rm -f /mnt/temp; sync repeatedly, in 20M
memory.limit_in_bytes cgroup to ext4 on USB stick.

ext4 (and gfs2 and xfs) turn out to allocate new pages for writing with
AOP_FLAG_NOFS: that seems a little worrying, and it's unclear to me why
the transaction needs to be started even before allocating pagecache
memory.  But it may not be worth worrying about these days: if direct
reclaim avoids FS writeback, does __GFP_FS now mean anything?

Anyway, we insisted on the may_enter_fs test to avoid hangs with the loop
device; but since that also masks off __GFP_IO, we can test for __GFP_IO
directly, ignoring may_enter_fs and __GFP_FS.

But even so, the test still OOMs sometimes: when originally testing on
3.5-rc6, it OOMed about one time in five or ten; when testing just now on
3.5-rc6-mm1, it OOMed on the first iteration.

This residual problem comes from an accumulation of pages under ordinary
writeback, not marked PageReclaim, so rightly not causing the memcg check
to wait on their writeback: these too can prevent shrink_page_list() from
freeing any pages, so many times that memcg reclaim fails and OOMs.

Deal with these in the same way as direct reclaim now deals with dirty FS
pages: mark them PageReclaim.  It is appropriate to rotate these to tail
of list when writepage completes, but more importantly, the PageReclaim
flag makes memcg reclaim wait on them if encountered again.  Increment
NR_VMSCAN_IMMEDIATE?  That's arguable: I chose not.

Setting PageReclaim here may occasionally race with end_page_writeback()
clearing it: lru_deactivate_fn() already faced the same race, and
correctly concluded that the window is small and the issue non-critical.

With these changes, the test runs indefinitely without OOMing on ext4,
ext3 and ext2: I'll move on to test with other filesystems later.

Trivia: invert conditions for a clearer block without an else, and goto
keep_locked to do the unlock_page.

12 years agomemcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages
Michal Hocko [Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:45:55 +0000 (16:45 -0700)]
memcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages

The current implementation of dirty pages throttling is not memcg aware
which makes it easy to have memcg LRUs full of dirty pages.  Without
throttling, these LRUs can be scanned faster than the rate of writeback,
leading to memcg OOM conditions when the hard limit is small.

This patch fixes the problem by throttling the allocating process
(possibly a writer) during the hard limit reclaim by waiting on
PageReclaim pages.  We are waiting only for PageReclaim pages because
those are the pages that made one full round over LRU and that means that
the writeback is much slower than scanning.

The solution is far from being ideal - long term solution is memcg aware
dirty throttling - but it is meant to be a band aid until we have a real
fix.  We are seeing this happening during nightly backups which are placed
into containers to prevent from eviction of the real working set.

The change affects only memcg reclaim and only when we encounter
PageReclaim pages which is a signal that the reclaim doesn't catch up on
with the writers so somebody should be throttled.  This could be
potentially unfair because it could be somebody else from the group who
gets throttled on behalf of the writer but as writers need to allocate as
well and they allocate in higher rate the probability that only innocent
processes would be penalized is not that high.

I have tested this change by a simple dd copying /dev/zero to tmpfs or
ext3 running under small memcg (1G copy under 5M, 60M, 300M and 2G
containers) and dd got killed by OOM killer every time.  With the patch I
could run the dd with the same size under 5M controller without any OOM.
The issue is more visible with slower devices for output.

mm: memcg: fix compaction/migration failing due to memcg limits

Compaction (and page migration in general) can currently be hindered
through pages being owned by memory cgroups that are at their limits and
unreclaimable.

The reason is that the replacement page is being charged against the limit
while the page being replaced is also still charged.  But this seems
unnecessary, given that only one of the two pages will still be in use
after migration finishes.

This patch changes the memcg migration sequence so that the replacement
page is not charged.  Whatever page is still in use after successful or
failed migration gets to keep the charge of the page that was going to be
replaced.

The replacement page will still show up temporarily in the rss/cache
statistics, this can be fixed in a later patch as it's less urgent.

but would not provide enough information to implement a generic handler.
This patch shuffles things slightly to ensure the same information is
available for aops->swap_activate() as is available to the core.

No functionality change.

12 years agomm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing...
Mel Gorman [Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:44:55 +0000 (16:44 -0700)]
mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages

Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to
allocate space and write to the blocks directly.  This effectively ensures
that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap
subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file.

If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the
blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block
bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were
resident in memory.  This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM
can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file.

  int swap_activate(struct file *);
  int swap_deactivate(struct file *);

The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the
VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such
as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools
and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory.  The
->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate()
returned success.

After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked
SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to
sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache
pages and ->readpage to read.

It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but
it is an unnecessary complication.  Similarly, it is possible that
->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem
developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable
for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of
writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

12 years agomm: add get_kernel_page[s] for pinning of kernel addresses for I/O

mm: add get_kernel_page[s] for pinning of kernel addresses for I/O

This patch adds two new APIs get_kernel_pages() and get_kernel_page() that
may be used to pin a vector of kernel addresses for IO.  The initial user
is expected to be NFS for allowing pages to be written to swap using
aops->direct_IO().  Strictly speaking, swap-over-NFS only needs to pin one
page for IO but it makes sense to express the API in terms of a vector and
add a helper for pinning single pages.

12 years agomm: methods for teaching filesystems about PG_swapcache pages
Mel Gorman [Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:44:47 +0000 (16:44 -0700)]
mm: methods for teaching filesystems about PG_swapcache pages

In order to teach filesystems to handle swap cache pages, three new page
functions are introduced:

  pgoff_t page_file_index(struct page *);
  loff_t page_file_offset(struct page *);
  struct address_space *page_file_mapping(struct page *);

page_file_index() - gives the offset of this page in the file in
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blocks.  Like page->index is for mapped pages, this
function also gives the correct index for PG_swapcache pages.

page_file_offset() - uses page_file_index(), so that it will give the
expected result, even for PG_swapcache pages.

page_file_mapping() - gives the mapping backing the actual page; that is
for swap cache pages it will give swap_file->f_mapping.
