From 27c73ae759774e63313c1fbfeb17ba076cea64c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:32:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: hugetlbfs: fix hugetlbfs optimization Commit 7cb2ef56e6a8 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the tail_page->private field. Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in both cases. The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to avoid memory corruption. A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is relevant for the compound_lock path too). By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound pages, this also fixes the below problem: echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:59a01 page:ffffea000139b038 count:0 mapcount:10 mapping: (null) index:0x0 page flags: 0x1c00000000008000(tail) Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 2018 Comm: bash Not tainted 3.12.0+ #25 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x55/0x76 bad_page+0xd5/0x130 free_pages_prepare+0x213/0x280 __free_pages+0x36/0x80 update_and_free_page+0xc1/0xd0 free_pool_huge_page+0xc2/0xe0 set_max_huge_pages.part.58+0x14c/0x220 nr_hugepages_store_common.isra.60+0xd0/0xf0 nr_hugepages_store+0x13/0x20 kobj_attr_store+0xf/0x20 sysfs_write_file+0x189/0x1e0 vfs_write+0xc5/0x1f0 SyS_write+0x55/0xb0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli Tested-by: Khalid Aziz Cc: Pravin Shelar Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Ben Hutchings Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Minchan Kim Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/hugetlb.h | 6 ++ mm/hugetlb.c | 17 +++++ mm/swap.c | 143 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 3 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/hugetlb.h b/include/linux/hugetlb.h index 85e0c58bdfdfa1..9649ff0c63f8d0 100644 --- a/include/linux/hugetlb.h +++ b/include/linux/hugetlb.h @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ struct hugepage_subpool *hugepage_new_subpool(long nr_blocks); void hugepage_put_subpool(struct hugepage_subpool *spool); int PageHuge(struct page *page); +int PageHeadHuge(struct page *page_head); void reset_vma_resv_huge_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma); int hugetlb_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, void __user *, size_t *, loff_t *); @@ -103,6 +104,11 @@ static inline int PageHuge(struct page *page) return 0; } +static inline int PageHeadHuge(struct page *page_head) +{ + return 0; +} + static inline void reset_vma_resv_huge_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma) { } diff --git a/mm/hugetlb.c b/mm/hugetlb.c index 2130365d387d33..dee6cf4e6d3413 100644 --- a/mm/hugetlb.c +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c @@ -702,6 +702,23 @@ int PageHuge(struct page *page) } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(PageHuge); +/* + * PageHeadHuge() only returns true for hugetlbfs head page, but not for + * normal or transparent huge pages. + */ +int PageHeadHuge(struct page *page_head) +{ + compound_page_dtor *dtor; + + if (!PageHead(page_head)) + return 0; + + dtor = get_compound_page_dtor(page_head); + + return dtor == free_huge_page; +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(PageHeadHuge); + pgoff_t __basepage_index(struct page *page) { struct page *page_head = compound_head(page); diff --git a/mm/swap.c b/mm/swap.c index 7a9f80d451f548..84b26aaabd03b6 100644 --- a/mm/swap.c +++ b/mm/swap.c @@ -82,19 +82,6 @@ static void __put_compound_page(struct page *page) static void put_compound_page(struct page *page) { - /* - * hugetlbfs pages cannot be split from under us.
