Tinkered with the README. #8

I was going through the readme, checking it out, and a few things kept distracting me. So I fixed 'em.

Please note that pull requests are not the proper procedure to submit patches to the Linux kernel (Linus put the kernel up here because kernel.org's master mirror is down; it seems that he doesn't like the pull request system[1], but github does not allow him to disable it). Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches - you must write a proper commit message (actually describing what changed, not just 'tinkered with'), add a Signed-Off-By line, and submit to the linux kernel mailing list.

That's a bit too much work for the usual github stuff. Perhaps I'll just leave it alone and let the usual kernel.org hackers help out.

If the pte mapping in generic_perform_write() is unmapped between iov_iter_fault_in_readable() and iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(), the "copied" parameter to ->end_write can be zero. ext4 couldn't cope with it with delayed allocations enabled.

It wouldn't normally trigger but I don't see why it can't happen normally if the page is added to swap cache in between the two faults leading to "copied" being zero (which then hangs in ext4). So it should be fixed. Especially possible with lumpy reclaim (albeit disabled if compaction is enabled) as that would ignore the young bits in the ptes.

If the netdev is already in NETREG_UNREGISTERING/_UNREGISTERED state, do not update the real num tx queues. netdev_queue_update_kobjects() is already called via remove_queue_kobjects() at NETREG_UNREGISTERING time. So, when upper layer driver, e.g., FCoE protocol stack is monitoring the netdev event of NETDEV_UNREGISTER and calls back to LLD ndo_fcoe_disable() to remove extra queues allocated for FCoE, the associated txq sysfs kobjects are already removed, and trying to update the real num queues would cause something like below: ...

…S block during isolation for migration commit 0bf380b upstream. When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash.

Once scsi_remove_device() has caused all commands to be completed it allows scsi_remove_target() to immediately proceed to freeing the ata_port causing bug reports like: [ 848.393333] BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#4, kworker/u:2/5107 [ 848.400262] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 848.406244] CPU 4 [ 848.408310] Modules linked in: nls_utf8 ipv6 uinput i2c_i801 i2c_core iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support ioatdma dca sg sd_mod sr_mod cdrom ahci libahci isci libsas libata scsi_transport_sas [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 848.432060] [ 848.434137] Pid: 5107, comm: kworker/u:2 Not tainted 3.2.0-isci+ torvalds#8 Intel Corporation S2600CP/S2600CP [ 848.445310] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8126a68c>] [<ffffffff8126a68c>] spin_dump+0x5e/0x8c [ 848.454787] RSP: 0018:ffff8807f868dca0 EFLAGS: 00010002 [ 848.461137] RAX: 0000000000000048 RBX: ffff8807fe86a630 RCX: ffffffff817d0be0 [ 848.469520] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff814af1cf RDI: 0000000000000002 [ 848.477959] RBP: ffff8807f868dcb0 R08: 00000000ffffffff R09: 000000006b6b6b6b [ 848.486327] R10: 000000000003fb8c R11: ffffffff81a19448 R12: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b [ 848.494699] R13: ffff8808027dc520 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 000000000000001e [ 848.503067] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88083fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 848.512899] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 848.519710] CR2: 00007ff77d001000 CR3: 00000007f7a5d000 CR4: 00000000000406e0 [ 848.528072] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 848.536446] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 848.544831] Process kworker/u:2 (pid: 5107, threadinfo ffff8807f868c000, task ffff8807ff348000) [ 848.555327] Stack: [ 848.557959] ffff8807fe86a630 ffff8807fe86a630 ffff8807f868dcd0 ffffffff8126a6e0 [ 848.567072] ffffffff817c142f ffff8807fe86a630 ffff8807f868dcf0 ffffffff8126a703 [ 848.576190] ffff8808027dc520 0000000000000286 ffff8807f868dd10 ffffffff814af1bb [ 848.585281] Call Trace: [ 848.588409] [<ffffffff8126a6e0>] spin_bug+0x26/0x28 [ 848.594357] [<ffffffff8126a703>] do_raw_spin_unlock+0x21/0x88 [ 848.601283] [<ffffffff814af1bb>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2c/0x65 [ 848.609089] [<ffffffffa001c103>] ata_scsi_port_error_handler+0x548/0x557 [libata] [ 848.618331] [<ffffffff81061813>] ? async_schedule+0x17/0x17 [ 848.625060] [<ffffffffa004f30f>] async_sas_ata_eh+0x45/0x69 [libsas] [ 848.632655] [<ffffffff810618aa>] async_run_entry_fn+0x97/0x125 [ 848.639670] [<ffffffff81057439>] process_one_work+0x207/0x38d [ 848.646577] [<ffffffff8105738c>] ? process_one_work+0x15a/0x38d [ 848.653681] [<ffffffff810576f7>] worker_thread+0x138/0x21c [ 848.660305] [<ffffffff810575bf>] ? process_one_work+0x38d/0x38d [ 848.667493] [<ffffffff8105b098>] kthread+0x9d/0xa5 [ 848.673382] [<ffffffff8106e1bd>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x12f/0x166 [ 848.681304] [<ffffffff814b7704>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 848.688324] [<ffffffff814af534>] ? retint_restore_args+0x13/0x13 [ 848.695530] [<ffffffff8105affb>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x5b/0x5b [ 848.702929] [<ffffffff814b7700>] ? gs_change+0x13/0x13 [ 848.709155] Code: 00 00 48 8d 88 38 04 00 00 44 8b 80 84 02 00 00 31 c0 e8 cf 1b 24 00 41 83 c8 ff 44 8b 4b 08 48 c7 c1 e0 0b 7d 81 4d 85 e4 74 10 <45> 8b 84 24 84 02 00 00 49 8d 8c 24 38 04 00 00 8b 53 04 48 89 [ 848.732467] RIP [<ffffffff8126a68c>] spin_dump+0x5e/0x8c [ 848.738905] RSP <ffff8807f868dca0> [ 848.743743] ---[ end trace 143161646eee8caa ]--- ...so arrange for the ata_port to have the same end of life as the domain device.

…S block during isolation for migration commit 0bf380b upstream. When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 01c00008 IP: [<c0522399>] isolate_migratepages+0x119/0x390 *pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000 It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline. The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 01c00008 IP: [<c0522399>] isolate_migratepages+0x119/0x390 *pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000 It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline. The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

[ Upstream commit 9ca3144 ] The referenced commits introduced a two-step process for deleting FTEs: - Lock the FTE, delete it from hardware, set the hardware deletion function to NULL and unlock the FTE. - Lock the parent flow group, delete the software copy of the FTE, and remove it from the xarray. However, this approach encounters a race condition if a rule with the same match value is added simultaneously. In this scenario, fs_core may set the hardware deletion function to NULL prematurely, causing a panic during subsequent rule deletions. To prevent this, ensure the active flag of the FTE is checked under a lock, which will prevent the fs_core layer from attaching a new steering rule to an FTE that is in the process of deletion.

Its used from trace__run(), for the 'perf trace' live mode, i.e. its strace-like, non-perf.data file processing mode, the most common one. The trace__run() function will set trace->host using machine__new_host() that is supposed to give a machine instance representing the running machine, and since we'll use perf_env__arch_strerrno() to get the right errno -> string table, we need to use machine->env, so initialize it in machine__new_host().

KMSAN reported a use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type()[1]. The cause of the issue was that eth_skb_pkt_type() accessed skb's data that didn't contain an Ethernet header. This occurs when bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() passes an invalid value as the user_data argument to bpf_test_init(). Fix this by returning an error when user_data is less than ETH_HLEN in bpf_test_init().

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/ active anonymous pages is skipped. crash> p nr_swap_pages nr_swap_pages = $1937 = { counter = 0 } As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark. The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented. crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures $1935 = 0x0 This is because the node deemed balanced. The node balancing logic in balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively. If one or more zones (e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the entire node is deemed balanced. This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain under significant pressure. The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages). This change prevents zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being mistakenly deemed unreclaimable. By doing so, the patch ensures proper node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL, and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false. The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL. This issue arises from zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file- backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient free pages to be skipped. The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones. Consequently, pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim(). This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist. This ensures zones with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and reclaim behavior.

The problem requires the following conditions to occur: 1. The device memory should be large enough. 2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area. 3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark. If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32 area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect. notes: The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL, but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.

The node balancing logic in balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively. If one or more zones (e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the entire node is deemed balanced. This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain under significant pressure. The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages). This change prevents zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being mistakenly deemed unreclaimable. By doing so, the patch ensures proper node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL, and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false.

The problem requires the following conditions to occur: 1. The device memory should be large enough. 2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area. 3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark. If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32 area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect. notes: The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL, but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/ active anonymous pages is skipped. crash> p nr_swap_pages nr_swap_pages = $1937 = { counter = 0 } As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark. The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented. crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures $1935 = 0x0 This is because the node deemed balanced. The node balancing logic in balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively. If one or more zones (e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the entire node is deemed balanced. This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain under significant pressure. The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages). This change prevents zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being mistakenly deemed unreclaimable. By doing so, the patch ensures proper node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL, and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false. The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL. This issue arises from zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file- backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient free pages to be skipped. The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones. Consequently, pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim(). This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist. This ensures zones with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and reclaim behavior.

…4_xdr_dec_open_noattr The `nfs4_xdr_dec_open()` function does not properly check the return status of the `ACCESS` operation. This oversight can result in out-of-bounds memory access when decoding NFSv4 compound requests. For instance, in an NFSv4 compound request `{5, PUTFH, OPEN, GETFH, ACCESS, GETATTR}`, if the `ACCESS` operation (step 4) returns an error, the function proceeds to decode the subsequent `GETATTR` operation (step 5) without validating the RPC buffer's state. This can cause an RPC buffer overflow, which leading to a system panic. This issue can be reliably reproduced by running multiple `fsstress` tests in the same directory exported by the Ganesha NFS server. This patch introduces proper error handling for the `ACCESS` operation in `nfs4_xdr_dec_open()` and `nfs4_xdr_dec_open_noattr()`. When an error is detected, the decoding process is terminated gracefully to prevent further buffer corruption and ensure system stability. torvalds#7 [ffffa42b17337bc0] page_fault at ffffffff906010fe [exception RIP: xdr_set_page_base+61] RIP: ffffffffc12166dd RSP: ffffa42b17337c78 RFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffa42b17337db8 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffa42b17337db8 RBP: 0000000000000000 R8: ffff904948b0a650 R9: 0000000000000000 R10: 8080808080808080 R11: ffff904ac3c68be4 R12: 0000000000000009 R13: ffffa42b17337db8 R14: ffff904aa6aee000 R15: ffffffffc11f7f50 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 torvalds#8 [ffffa42b17337c78] xdr_set_next_buffer at ffffffffc1217b0b [sunrpc] torvalds#9 [ffffa42b17337c90] xdr_inline_decode at ffffffffc1218259 [sunrpc] torvalds#10 [ffffa42b17337cb8] __decode_op_hdr at ffffffffc128d2c2 [nfsv4] torvalds#11 [ffffa42b17337cf0] decode_getfattr_generic.constprop.124 at ffffffffc12980a2 [nfsv4] torvalds#12 [ffffa42b17337d58] nfs4_xdr_dec_open at ffffffffc1298374 [nfsv4] torvalds#13 [ffffa42b17337db0] call_decode at ffffffffc11f8144 [sunrpc] torvalds#14 [ffffa42b17337e28] __rpc_execute at ffffffffc1206ad5 [sunrpc] torvalds#15 [ffffa42b17337e80] rpc_async_schedule at ffffffffc1206e39 [sunrpc] torvalds#16 [ffffa42b17337e98] process_one_work at ffffffff8fcfe397 torvalds#17 [ffffa42b17337ed8] worker_thread at ffffffff8fcfea60 torvalds#18 [ffffa42b17337f10] kthread at ffffffff8fd04406 torvalds#19 [ffffa42b17337f50] ret_from_fork at ffffffff9060023f Signed-off-by: changxin.liu <[email protected]>

Hou Tao says: ==================== This patch set fixes several issues for LPM trie. These issues were found during adding new test cases or were reported by syzbot. The patch set is structured as follows: Patch #1~#2 are clean-ups for lpm_trie_update_elem(). Patch #3 handles BPF_EXIST and BPF_NOEXIST correctly for LPM trie. Patch #4 fixes the accounting of n_entries when doing in-place update. Patch #5 fixes the exact match condition in trie_get_next_key() and it may skip keys when the passed key is not found in the map. Patch torvalds#6~torvalds#7 switch from kmalloc() to bpf memory allocator for LPM trie to fix several lock order warnings reported by syzbot. It also enables raw_spinlock_t for LPM trie again. After these changes, the LPM trie will be closer to being usable in any context (though the reentrance check of trie->lock is still missing, but it is on my todo list). Patch torvalds#8: move test_lpm_map to map_tests to make it run regularly. Patch torvalds#9: add test cases for the issues fixed by patch #3~#5. Please see individual patches for more details. Comments are always welcome.

The problem requires the following conditions to occur: 1. The device memory should be large enough. 2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area. 3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark. If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32 area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect. notes: The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL, but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/ active anonymous pages is skipped. crash> p nr_swap_pages nr_swap_pages = $1937 = { counter = 0 } As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark. The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented. crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures $1935 = 0x0 This is because the node deemed balanced. The node balancing logic in balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively. If one or more zones (e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the entire node is deemed balanced. This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain under significant pressure. The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages). This change prevents zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being mistakenly deemed unreclaimable. By doing so, the patch ensures proper node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL, and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false. The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL. This issue arises from zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file- backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient free pages to be skipped. The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones. Consequently, pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim().

Petr Machata says: ==================== vxlan: Support user-defined reserved bits Currently the VXLAN header validation works by vxlan_rcv() going feature by feature, each feature clearing the bits that it consumes. If anything is left unparsed at the end, the packet is rejected. Unfortunately there are machines out there that send VXLAN packets with reserved bits set, even if they are configured to not use the corresponding features. One such report is here[1], and we have heard similar complaints from our customers as well. This patchset adds an attribute that makes it configurable which bits the user wishes to tolerate and which they consider reserved. This was recommended in [1] as well. A knob like that inevitably allows users to set as reserved bits that are in fact required for the features enabled by the netdevice, such as GPE. This is detected, and such configurations are rejected. In patches #1..torvalds#7, the reserved bits validation code is gradually moved away from the unparsed approach described above, to one where a given set of valid bits is precomputed and then the packet is validated against that. In patch torvalds#8, this precomputed set is made configurable through a new attribute IFLA_VXLAN_RESERVED_BITS. Patches torvalds#9 and torvalds#10 massage the testsuite a bit, so that patch torvalds#11 can introduce a selftest for the resreved bits feature. The corresponding iproute2 support is available in [2].

The problem requires the following conditions to occur: 1. The device memory should be large enough. 2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area. 3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark. If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32 area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect. notes: The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL, but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/ active anonymous pages is skipped. crash> p nr_swap_pages nr_swap_pages = $1937 = { counter = 0 } As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark. The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented. crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures $1935 = 0x0 This is because the node deemed balanced. The node balancing logic in balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively. If one or more zones (e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the entire node is deemed balanced. This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain under significant pressure. The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages). This change prevents zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being mistakenly deemed unreclaimable. By doing so, the patch ensures proper node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL, and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false. The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL. This issue arises from zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file- backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient free pages to be skipped. The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones. Consequently, pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim(). This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist. This ensures zones with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and reclaim behavior.

The problem requires the following conditions to occur: 1. The device memory should be large enough. 2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area. 3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark. If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32 area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect. notes: The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL, but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/ active anonymous pages is skipped. crash> p nr_swap_pages nr_swap_pages = $1937 = { counter = 0 } As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark. The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented. crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures $1935 = 0x0 This is because the node deemed balanced. The node balancing logic in balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively. If one or more zones (e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the entire node is deemed balanced. This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain under significant pressure. The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages). This change prevents zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being mistakenly deemed unreclaimable. By doing so, the patch ensures proper node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL, and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false. The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL. This issue arises from zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file- backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient free pages to be skipped. The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones. Consequently, pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim(). This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages (NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist. This ensures zones with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and reclaim behavior.
