When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which
are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in
swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec
(lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page.
On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock
syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be
able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec
of a different CPU. Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU
because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain.
The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats
will remain skewed for a long time.
This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on
the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking
their evictability. This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other
CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file
pages will go to unevictable LRU. Also this makes the race with munlock
easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock.
However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does
PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention.
TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock().
#0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn #1: clear_page_mlock
SetPageLRU() if (!TestClearPageMlocked())
return
smp_mb() // <--required
// inside does PageLRU
if (!PageMlocked()) if (isolate_lru_page())
move to evictable LRU putback_lru_page()
else
move to unevictable LRU
In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics
and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be
reordered before it.
In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be
reordered before SetPageLRU(). If that happens, '#0' can put a page in
unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that
page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set
PageLRU bit of that page. That page will be stranded on the unevictable
LRU.
There is one (good) side effect though. Without this patch, the pages
allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs
even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment. This patch will correctly
put such pages to unevictable LRU.

Now that cond_resched() also provides RCU quiescent states when
needed, it can be used in place of cond_resched_rcu_qs(). This

lru_add_drain_all() is not required by mlock() and it will drain
everything that has been cached at the time mlock is called. And that
is not really related to the memory which will be faulted in (and
cached) and mlocked by the syscall itself.
If anything lru_add_drain_all() should be called _after_ pages have been
mlocked and faulted in but even that is not strictly needed because
those pages would get to the appropriate LRUs lazily during the reclaim
path. Moreover follow_page_pte (gup) will drain the local pcp LRU
cache.
On larger machines the overhead of lru_add_drain_all() in mlock() can be
significant when mlocking data already in memory. We have observed high
latency in mlock() due to lru_add_drain_all() when the users were
mlocking in memory tmpfs files.

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

page_zone_id() is a specialized function to compare the zone for the pages
that are within the section range. If the section of the pages are
different, page_zone_id() can be different even if their zone is the same.
This wrong usage doesn't cause any actual problem since
__munlock_pagevec_fill() would be called again with failed index.
However, it's better to use more appropriate function here.

In __munlock_pagevec() we should decrement NR_MLOCK for each page where
we clear the PageMlocked flag. Commit 1ebb7cc6a583 ("mm: munlock: batch
NR_MLOCK zone state updates") has introduced a bug where we don't
decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to
isolate them from the lru list (e.g. when the pages are on some other
cpu's percpu pagevec). Since PageMlocked stays cleared, the NR_MLOCK
accounting gets permanently disrupted by this.
Fix it by counting the number of page whose PageMlock flag is cleared.

try_to_munlock returns SWAP_MLOCK if the one of VMAs mapped the page has
VM_LOCKED flag. In that time, VM set PG_mlocked to the page if the page
is not pte-mapped THP which cannot be mlocked, either.
With that, __munlock_isolated_page can use PageMlocked to check whether
try_to_munlock is successful or not without relying on try_to_munlock's
retval. It helps to make try_to_unmap/try_to_unmap_one simple with
upcoming patches.

Merge 5-level page table prep from Kirill Shutemov:
"Here's relatively low-risk part of 5-level paging patchset. Merging it
now will make x86 5-level paging enabling in v4.12 easier.
The first patch is actually x86-specific: detect 5-level paging
support. It boils down to single define.
The rest of patchset converts Linux MMU abstraction from 4- to 5-level
paging.
Enabling of new abstraction in most cases requires adding single line
of code in arch-specific code. The rest is taken care by asm-generic/.
Changes to mm/ code are mostly mechanical: add support for new page
table level -- p4d_t -- where we deal with pud_t now.
v2:
- fix build on microblaze (Michal);
- comment for __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK in kasan_populate_zero_shadow();
- acks from Michal"
* emailed patches from Kirill A Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>:
mm: introduce __p4d_alloc()
mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging
asm-generic: introduce <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>

The following test case triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range():
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
system("mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt");
fd = open("/mnt/test", O_CREAT | O_RDWR);
ftruncate(fd, 4UL << 20);
mmap(NULL, 4UL << 20, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
munlockall();
return 0;
}
The second mmap() create PTE-mapping of the first huge page in file. It
makes kernel munlock the page as we never keep PTE-mapped page mlocked.
On munlockall() when we handle vma created by the first mmap(),
munlock_vma_page() returns page_mask == 0, as the page is not mlocked
anymore. On next iteration follow_page_mask() return tail page, but
page_mask is HPAGE_NR_PAGES - 1. It makes us skip to the first tail
page of the next huge page and step on
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageMlocked(page)).
The fix is not use the page_mask from follow_page_mask() at all. It has
no use for us.

The following program triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range():
// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main()
{
mmap((void*)0x20105000ul, 0xc00000ul, 0x2ul, 0x2172ul, -1, 0);

return 0;
}
The test-case constructs the situation when munlock_vma_pages_range()
finds PTE-mapped THP-head in the middle of page table and, by mistake,
skips HPAGE_PMD_NR pages after that.
As result, on the next iteration it hits the middle of PMD-mapped THP
and gets upset seeing mlocked tail page.
The solution is only skip HPAGE_PMD_NR pages if the THP was mlocked
during munlock_vma_page(). It would guarantee that the page is
PMD-mapped as we never mlock PTE-mapeed THPs.

mlock2(,MLOCK_ONFAULT)
When one vma was with flag VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT (by invoking
mlock2(,MLOCK_ONFAULT)), it can again be populated with mlock() with
VM_LOCKED flag only.
There is a hole in mlock_fixup() which increase mm->locked_vm twice even
the two operations are on the same vma and both with VM_LOCKED flags.
The issue can be reproduced by following code:
mlock2(p, 1024 * 64, MLOCK_ONFAULT); //VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT
mlock(p, 1024 * 64); //VM_LOCKED
Then check the increase VmLck field in /proc/pid/status(to 128k).
When vma is set with different vm_flags, and the new vm_flags is with
VM_LOCKED, it is not necessarily be a "new locked" vma. This patch
corrects this bug by prevent mm->locked_vm from increment when old
vm_flags is already VM_LOCKED.

In do_mlock(), the check against locked memory limitation has a hole
which will fail following cases at step 3):
1) User has a memory chunk from addressA with 50k, and user mem lock
rlimit is 64k.
2) mlock(addressA, 30k)
3) mlock(addressA, 40k)
The 3rd step should have been allowed since the 40k request is
intersected with the previous 30k at step 2), and the 3rd step is
actually for mlock on the extra 10k memory.
This patch checks vma to caculate the actual "new" mlock size, if
necessary, and ajust the logic to fix this issue.

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.
In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.

This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing
depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of
down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
__oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.
Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as
the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
appreciated.
As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
should have received the cover though).
This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it
would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
way I have no objections.
I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here
$ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l
98
$ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l
62
I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in
this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other
places can be changed on top.

This patch (of 18):
This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable. It
focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.
Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away
without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
dismantle the OOM victim address space.
The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
original non-killable semantic for now.
vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

Tetsuo Handa reported underflow of NR_MLOCK on munlock.
Testcase:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define BASE ((void *)0x400000000000)
#define SIZE (1UL << 21)
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
void *addr;
system("grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo");
addr = mmap(BASE, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_LOCKED | MAP_FIXED,
-1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
printf("mmap() failed\n"), exit(1);
munmap(addr, SIZE);
system("grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo");
return 0;
}
It happens on munlock_vma_page() due to unfortunate choice of nr_pages
data type:
__mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_MLOCK, -nr_pages);
For unsigned int nr_pages, implicitly casted to long in
__mod_zone_page_state(), it becomes something around UINT_MAX.
munlock_vma_page() usually called for THP as small pages go though
pagevec.
Let's make nr_pages signed int.
Similar fixes in 6cdb18ad98a4 ("mm/vmstat: fix overflow in
mod_zone_page_state()") used `long' type, but `int' here is OK for a
count of the number of sub-pages in a huge page.

Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA
boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely
transferred to small pages.
With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up
with this scenario:
1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA.
2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP:
- the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED;
- huge PMD split into PTE table;
- THP is still mlocked;
3. split_huge_page():
- it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it
blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA.
We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I
think we have accounting issue already on step two.
Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking
PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd().
This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split
under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect
unevictable small pages and mlock them.
With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above.

With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs. This makes tricky
to track THP pages, when they partially mlocked. It can lead to leaking
mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems.
With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid
fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas.
I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep
them on normal LRUs. This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on
memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED
vmas. But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting
reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside.
We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for
now.

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.
We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.
Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.
munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags
field.

The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this
comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated.
For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not
ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are
allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be
placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they
are not faulted in by the mlock call.
This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags
argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives
the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way,
or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to
mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall().
There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the
security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written
to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is
significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is
guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every
time such a buffer is created.
The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file
are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed.
This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the
graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be
used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay
resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number
of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking
the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as
the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them
without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large
overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region
with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to
mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a
time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to
mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect
pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in
this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is
precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing.
For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if
mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is
created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the
user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep
the accounting checks out of the page fault path.
To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a
5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to
random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for
each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and
execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the
entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights
the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across
the 20 runs in milliseconds.
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range:
Setup avg: 8228.666
Processing avg: 8274.257
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access:
Setup avg: 0.113
Processing avg: 90993.552
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page:
With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt
to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get:
Setup avg: 0.058
Processing avg: 69488.073
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages:
Setup avg: 0.068
Processing avg: 38204.116
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages:
Setup avg: 0.044
Processing avg: 29671.180
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range:
Setup avg: 0.189
Processing avg: 17904.899
The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to
avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first
step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be
possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and
mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way
to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered
by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find
it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step
fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far
beyond the end of the mapping.
These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the
mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once,
otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster.
The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I
have tested (stream and kernbench). The following are the average values
across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose

This patch (of 6):
Extending the mlock system call is very difficult because it currently
does not take a flags argument. A later patch in this set will extend
mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted

call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry

It's odd that we have populate_vma_page_range() and __mm_populate() in
mm/mlock.c. It's implementation of generic memory population and mlocking
is one of possible side effect, if VM_LOCKED is set.
__get_user_pages() is core of the implementation. Let's move the code
into mm/gup.c.

After commit a1fde08c74e9 ("VM: skip the stack guard page lookup in
get_user_pages only for mlock") FOLL_MLOCK has lost its original
meaning: we don't necessarily mlock the page if the flags is set -- we

FOLL_MLOCK to FOLL_POPULATE.

A userspace call to mmap(MAP_LOCKED) may result in the successful locking
of memory while also producing a confusing audit log denial. can_do_mlock
checks capable and rlimit. If either of these return positive
can_do_mlock returns true. The capable check leads to an LSM hook used by
apparmour and selinux which produce the audit denial. Reordering so
rlimit is checked first eliminates the denial on success, only recording a
denial when the lock is unsuccessful as a result of the denial.

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks. In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.
This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin
fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock
the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked).
The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is
somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration,
which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would
not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but
NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds
a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that
effect.
The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page !=
check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we
already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only
upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left
without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable
memory design.

Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page. Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.
I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.
This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. There is some
attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but
code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a
non-fatal, yet wrong outcome.
First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked
from the head page to the tail pages. Clearing PageMlocked by
munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part
of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag. As the head page still
appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed,
munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip
all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da60, those pages would be
cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK
would still become undercounted (related the next point).
Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after
the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become
inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount()
- undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are
left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before
ff6a6da60)
- overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already
finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from
additional tail pages
This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in
munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because:
- __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation
- munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation
As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with
lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new
__munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec" introduced __munlock_pagevec() to speed
up munlock by holding lru_lock over multiple isolated pages. Pages that
fail to be isolated are put_page()d immediately, also within the lock.
This can lead to deadlock when __munlock_pagevec() becomes the holder of
the last page pin and put_page() leads to __page_cache_release() which
also locks lru_lock. The deadlock has been observed by Sasha Levin
using trinity.
This patch avoids the deadlock by deferring put_page() operations until
lru_lock is released. Another pagevec (which is also used by later
phases of the function is reused to gather the pages for put_page()
operation.

Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when
the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail
pages.
Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which
contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered
using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked
flag.
This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when
PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with
THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many
pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being
skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the
PageTail flags are cleared.
However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which
is to be fixed in a separate patch.

The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd3627
("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of
follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation
within current page table.
This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded
and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked.
In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table
resulting in unpredictable behaviour.
This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end()
before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on
all configurations. This is similar to what existing page walkers do
when walking each level of the page table.
Additionaly, the patch clarifies a comment for get_locked_pte() call in the
function.

Currently munlock_vma_pages_range() calls follow_page_mask() to obtain
each individual struct page. This entails repeated full page table
translations and page table lock taken for each page separately.
This patch avoids the costly follow_page_mask() where possible, by
iterating over ptes within single pmd under single page table lock. The
first pte is obtained by get_locked_pte() for non-THP page acquired by the
initial follow_page_mask(). The rest of the on-stack pagevec for munlock
is filled up using pte_walk as long as pte_present() and vm_normal_page()
are sufficient to obtain the struct page.
After this patch, a 14% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large
memory area with THP disabled.
