mm: hide a #warning for COMPILE_TEST

2018-02-22T14:40:06+00:00

commit af27d9403f5b80685b79c88425086edccecaf711 upstream. We get a warning about some slow configurations in randconfig kernels: mm/memory.c:83:2: error: #warning Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for last_cpupid. [-Werror=cpp] The warning is reasonable by itself, but gets in the way of randconfig build testing, so I'm hiding it whenever CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is set. The warning was added in 2013 in commit 75980e97dacc ("mm: fold page->_last_nid into page->flags where possible").

mm/memory.c: release locked page in do_swap_page()

2018-01-19T18:09:40+00:00

James reported a bug in swap paging-in from his testing. It is that do_swap_page doesn't release locked page so system hang-up happens due to a deadlock on PG_locked. It was introduced by 0bcac06f27d7 ("mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device") because I missed swap cache hit places to update swapcache variable to work well with other logics against swapcache in do_swap_page. This patch fixes it. Debugged by James Bottomley.

Revert "mm: replace p??_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths"

2017-12-16T02:53:22+00:00

This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c269c, c7da82b894e9, and e7fe7b5cae90. We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question. Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM, not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was. Dave Hansen says: "So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote() and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the new p??_access_permitted() calls. We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done" It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection key bits at this level at all. But one possible eventual solution is to make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case, which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to. We'll see. Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user pages, but it would be a good check to have back. Because we have no generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in commit e585513b76f7 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation").

mm/memory.c: mark wp_huge_pmd() inline to prevent build failure

2017-12-15T00:00:48+00:00

With gcc 4.1.2: mm/memory.o: In function `wp_huge_pmd': memory.c:(.text+0x9b4): undefined reference to `do_huge_pmd_wp_page' Interestingly, wp_huge_pmd() is emitted in the assembler output, but never called. Apparently replacing the call to pmd_write() in __handle_mm_fault() by a call to the more complex pmd_access_permitted() reduced the ability of the compiler to remove unused code. Fix this by marking wp_huge_pmd() inline, like was done in commit 91a90140f998 ("mm/memory.c: mark create_huge_pmd() inline to prevent build failure") for a similar problem.

mm: replace pte_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths

2017-11-30T02:40:42+00:00

The 'access_permitted' helper is used in the gup-fast path and goes beyond the simple _PAGE_RW check to also: - validate that the mapping is writable from a protection keys standpoint - validate that the pte has _PAGE_USER set since all fault paths where pte_write is must be referencing user-memory.

Revert "mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reason"

2017-11-29T17:01:01+00:00

This reverts commit 152e93af3cfe2d29d8136cc0a02a8612507136ee. It was a nice cleanup in theory, but as Nicolai Stange points out, we do need to make the page dirty for the copy-on-write case even when we didn't end up making it writable, since the dirty bit is what we use to check that we've gone through a COW cycle.

mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reason

2017-11-27T20:26:29+00:00

Currently we make page table entries dirty all the time regardless of access type and don't even consider if the mapping is write-protected. The reasoning is that we don't really need dirty tracking on THP and making the entry dirty upfront may save some time on first write to the page. Unfortunately, such approach may result in false-positive can_follow_write_pmd() for huge zero page or read-only shmem file. Let's only make page dirty only if we about to write to the page anyway (as we do for small pages). I've restructured the code to make entry dirty inside maybe_p[mu]d_mkwrite(). It also takes into account if the vma is write-protected. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
