mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)

2020-12-02T07:51:45+00:00

commit 073861ed77b6b957c3c8d54a11dc503f7d986ceb upstream. Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page, no longer an ext4 page at all. The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference (as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that wake_up_page() is reached. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/ Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page, lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()). Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against that approach. If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check, when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching wake_up_page()? And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon? What would that look like? It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback() in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself). Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself: "page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts, --- thread A --- filesystem calls end_page_writeback() test_clear_page_writeback() --- context switch to thread B --- truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set, we delete it from the page cache. Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback starts again. Then we call write_cache_pages(), see PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback() --- context switch back to thread A --- wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback); ... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of the page, PageWriteback is still set. Devious" And prior to 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic") this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake. I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page(). Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared? I think not, because each waiter does hold a reference on the page. This bug comes when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on, had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache (and whoever racily freed it). The reuse of the page has a waiter holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

mm: never attempt async page lock if we've transferred data already

2020-11-24T12:39:14+00:00

commit 0abed7c69b956d135cb6d320c350b2adb213e7d8 upstream. We catch the case where we enter generic_file_buffered_read() with data already transferred, but we also need to be careful not to allow an async page lock if we're looping transferring data. If not, we could be returning -EIOCBQUEUED instead of the transferred amount, and it could result in double waitqueue additions as well.

mm: mark async iocb read as NOWAIT once some data has been copied

2020-11-01T11:47:09+00:00

commit 13bd691421bc191a402d2e0d3da5f248d170a632 upstream. Once we've copied some data for an iocb that is marked with IOCB_WAITQ, we should no longer attempt to async lock a new page. Instead make sure we return the copied amount, and let the caller retry, instead of returning -EIOCBQUEUED for a new page. This should only be possible with read-ahead disabled on the below device, and multiple threads racing on the same file. Haven't been able to reproduce on anything else.

mm/error_inject: Fix allow_error_inject function signatures.

2020-10-29T09:11:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 76cd61739fd107a7f7ec4c24a045e98d8ee150f0 ] 'static' and 'static noinline' function attributes make no guarantees that gcc/clang won't optimize them. The compiler may decide to inline 'static' function and in such case ALLOW_ERROR_INJECT becomes meaningless. The compiler could have inlined __add_to_page_cache_locked() in one callsite and didn't inline in another. In such case injecting errors into it would cause unpredictable behavior. It's worse with 'static noinline' which won't be inlined, but it still can be optimized. Like the compiler may decide to remove one argument or constant propagate the value depending on the callsite. To avoid such issues make sure that these functions are global noinline.

io_uring: fix async buffered reads when readahead is disabled

2020-09-29T13:54:00+00:00

The async buffered reads feature is not working when readahead is turned off. There are two things to concern: - when doing retry in io_read, not only the IOCB_WAITQ flag but also the IOCB_NOWAIT flag is still set, which makes it goes to would_block phase in generic_file_buffered_read() and then return -EAGAIN. After that, the io-wq thread work is queued, and later doing the async reads in the old way. - even if we remove IOCB_NOWAIT when doing retry, the feature is still not running properly, since in generic_file_buffered_read() it goes to lock_page_killable() after calling mapping->a_ops->readpage() to do IO, and thus causing process to sleep.

mm: allow a controlled amount of unfairness in the page lock

2020-09-17T17:26:41+00:00

Commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic") made the page locking entirely fair, in that if a waiter came in while the lock was held, the lock would be transferred to the lockers strictly in order. That was intended to finally get rid of the long-reported watchdog failures that involved the page lock under extreme load, where a process could end up waiting essentially forever, as other page lockers stole the lock from under it. It also improved some benchmarks, but it ended up causing huge performance regressions on others, simply because fair lock behavior doesn't end up giving out the lock as aggressively, causing better worst-case latency, but potentially much worse average latencies and throughput. Instead of reverting that change entirely, this introduces a controlled amount of unfairness, with a sysctl knob to tune it if somebody needs to. But the default value should hopefully be good for any normal load, allowing a few rounds of lock stealing, but enforcing the strict ordering before the lock has been stolen too many times. There is also a hint from Matthieu Baerts that the fair page coloring may end up exposing an ABBA deadlock that is hidden by the usual optimistic lock stealing, and while the unfairness doesn't fix the fundamental issue (and I'm still looking at that), it avoids it in practice. The amount of unfairness can be modified by writing a new value to the 'sysctl_page_lock_unfairness' variable (default value of 5, exposed through /proc/sys/vm/page_lock_unfairness), but that is hopefully something we'd use mainly for debugging rather than being necessary for any deep system tuning. This whole issue has exposed just how critical the page lock can be, and how contended it gets under certain locks. And the main contention doesn't really seem to be anything related to IO (which was the origin of this lock), but for things like just verifying that the page file mapping is stable while faulting in the page into a page table.
