mm/page_alloc: correct start page when guard page debug is enabled

2023-11-02T08:36:48+00:00

commit 61e21cf2d2c3cc5e60e8d0a62a77e250fccda62c upstream. When guard page debug is enabled and set_page_guard returns success, we miss to forward page to point to start of next split range and we will do split unexpectedly in page range without target page. Move start page update before set_page_guard to fix this. As we split to wrong target page, then splited pages are not able to merge back to original order when target page is put back and splited pages except target page is not usable. To be specific: Consider target page is the third page in buddy page with order 2. | buddy-2 | Page | Target | Page | After break down to target page, we will only set first page to Guard because of bug. | Guard | Page | Target | Page | When we try put_page_back_buddy with target page, the buddy page of target if neither guard nor buddy, Then it's not able to construct original page with order 2 | Guard | Page | buddy-0 | Page | All pages except target page is not in free list and is not usable.

mm: page_alloc: fix CMA and HIGHATOMIC landing on the wrong buddy list

2023-10-06T11:16:25+00:00

commit 7b086755fb8cdbb6b3e45a1bbddc00e7f9b1dc03 upstream. Commit 4b23a68f9536 ("mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock") bypasses the pcplist on lock contention and returns the page directly to the buddy list of the page's migratetype. For pages that don't have their own pcplist, such as CMA and HIGHATOMIC, the migratetype is temporarily updated such that the page can hitch a ride on the MOVABLE pcplist. Their true type is later reassessed when flushing in free_pcppages_bulk(). However, when lock contention is detected after the type was already overridden, the bypass will then put the page on the wrong buddy list. Once on the MOVABLE buddy list, the page becomes eligible for fallbacks and even stealing. In the case of HIGHATOMIC, otherwise ineligible allocations can dip into the highatomic reserves. In the case of CMA, the page can be lost from the CMA region permanently. Use a separate pcpmigratetype variable for the pcplist override. Use the original migratetype when going directly to the buddy. This fixes the bug and should make the intentions more obvious in the code. Originally sent here to address the HIGHATOMIC case: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230821183733.106619-4-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ Changelog updated in response to the CMA-specific bug report.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton: - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs - Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing - Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the prevalence of page rescanning - Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the get_user_pages() interface - Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree - Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code - David Hildenbrand has contributed additional selftests for get_user_pages() - Thomas Gleixner has contributed some maintenance and optimization work for the vmalloc code - Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups, - SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code - Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of device refcounting - Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code - Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses - Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache and directio access to file mappings - John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code - ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign - Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock - Catalin Marinas has reduced the arm64 kmalloc() minimum alignment from 128 to 8 - Domenico Cerasuolo has improved the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing the LRU management - Matthew Wilcox provides some fixups to make gfs2 work better with the buffer_head code - Vishal Moola also has done some folio conversion work - Matthew Wilcox has removed the remnants of the pagevec code - their functionality is migrated over to struct folio_batch * tag 'mm-stable-2023-06-24-19-15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (380 commits) mm/hugetlb: remove hugetlb_set_page_subpool() mm: nommu: correct the range of mmap_sem_read_lock in task_mem() hugetlb: revert use of page_cache_next_miss() Revert "page cache: fix page_cache_next/prev_miss off by one" mm/vmscan: fix root proactive reclaim unthrottling unbalanced node mm: memcg: rename and document global_reclaim() mm: kill [add|del]_page_to_lru_list() mm: compaction: convert to use a folio in isolate_migratepages_block() mm: zswap: fix double invalidate with exclusive loads mm: remove unnecessary pagevec includes mm: remove references to pagevec mm: rename invalidate_mapping_pagevec to mapping_try_invalidate mm: remove struct pagevec net: convert sunrpc from pagevec to folio_batch i915: convert i915_gpu_error to use a folio_batch pagevec: rename fbatch_count() mm: remove check_move_unevictable_pages() drm: convert drm_gem_put_pages() to use a folio_batch i915: convert shmem_sg_free_table() to use a folio_batch scatterlist: add sg_set_folio() ...

mm: page_alloc: use the correct type of list for free pages

Commit bf75f200569d ("mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list") introduces page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru, but missed to change get_page_from_free_area() to use page->buddy_list to clarify the correct type of list for a free page.

mm/page_alloc: don't wake kswapd from rmqueue() unless __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is specified

2023-06-09T23:25:50+00:00

Commit 73444bc4d8f9 ("mm, page_alloc: do not wake kswapd with zone lock held") moved wakeup_kswapd() from steal_suitable_fallback() to rmqueue() using ZONE_BOOSTED_WATERMARK flag. Only allocation contexts that include ALLOC_KSWAPD (which corresponds to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) should wake kswapd, for callers are supposed to remove __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM if trying to hold pgdat->kswapd_wait has a risk of deadlock. But since zone->flags is a shared variable, a thread doing !__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM allocation request might observe this flag being set immediately after another thread doing __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM allocation request set this flag, causing possibility of deadlock.

mm: compaction: simplify should_compact_retry()

2023-06-09T23:25:36+00:00

The different branches for retry are unnecessarily complicated. There are really only three outcomes: progress (retry n times), skipped (retry if reclaim can help), failed (retry with higher priority). Rearrange the branches and the retry counter to make it simpler.

mm: compaction: remove compaction result helpers

2023-06-09T23:25:36+00:00

Patch series "mm: compaction: cleanups & simplifications". These compaction cleanups are split out from the huge page allocator series[1], as requested by reviewer feedback. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ This patch (of 5): The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the allocator's retry logic. E.g. COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on. I frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to understand and work on the retry logic. They're not quite clean abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations. Remove the helpers and inline the checks. Then comment on the result interpretations directly where the decision making happens.
