When a memcg is deleted mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() moves charged
memory to the parent memcg. As of v3.11-9444-g3ea67d0 "memcg: add per
cgroup writeback pages accounting" there's bad pointer read. The goal
was to check for counter underflow. The counter is a per cpu counter
and there are two problems with the code:
(1) per cpu access function isn't used, instead a naked pointer is used
which easily causes oops.
(2) the check doesn't sum all cpus
Test:
$ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
$ mkdir x
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec cat) &
[1] 7154
$ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat
mapped_file 53248
$ echo 7154 > tasks
$ rmdir x
<OOPS>
The fix is to remove the check. It's currently dangerous and isn't
worth fixing it to use something expensive, such as
percpu_counter_sum(), for each reparented page. __this_cpu_read() isn't
enough to fix this because there's no guarantees of the current cpus
count. The only guarantees is that the sum of all per-cpu counter is >=
nr_pages.

lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page
mm: memcg: fix test for child groups
mm: memcg: lockdep annotation for memcg OOM lock
mm: memcg: use proper memcg in limit bypass
When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it
uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false
depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or
not.
Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives
require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all
memcg callers. This results in the following splat when e.g. enabling
hierarchy mode:
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160()

In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to
modify inheritable attributes interactively. Racing with deletion could
mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem. Racing with addition is handled
just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is
not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized
from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

Commit 84235de394 ("fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the

fail to reclaim enough memory for the charge. But because the main test
case was on a 3.2-based system, the patch missed the fact that on newer
kernels the charge function needs to return root_mem_cgroup when
bypassing the limit, and not NULL. This will corrupt whatever memory is
at NULL + percpu pointer offset. Fix this quickly before problems are

memcg: use __this_cpu_sub() to dec stats to avoid incorrect subtrahend casting
percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend casting for unsigneds
mm/pagewalk.c: fix walk_page_range() access of wrong PTEs
As of commit 3ea67d06e4 ("memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages
accounting") memcg counter errors are possible when moving charged
memory to a different memcg. Charge movement occurs when processing
writes to memory.force_empty, moving tasks to a memcg with
memcg.move_charge_at_immigrate=1, or memcg deletion.
An example showing error after memory.force_empty:
$ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
$ mkdir x
$ rm /data/tmp/file
$ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec mmap_writer /data/tmp/file 1M) &
[1] 13600
$ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat
mapped_file 1048576
$ echo 13600 > tasks
$ echo 1 > x/memory.force_empty
$ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat
mapped_file 4503599627370496
mapped_file should end with 0.
4503599627370496 == 0x10,0000,0000,0000 == 0x100,0000,0000 pages
1048576 == 0x10,0000 == 0x100 pages
This issue only affects the source memcg on 64 bit machines; the
destination memcg counters are correct. So the rmdir case is not too
important because such counters are soon disappearing with the entire
memcg. But the memcg.force_empty and memory.move_charge_at_immigrate=1
cases are larger problems as the bogus counters are visible for the
(possibly long) remaining life of the source memcg.
The problem is due to memcg use of __this_cpu_from(.., -nr_pages), which
is subtly wrong because it subtracts the unsigned int nr_pages (either
-1 or -512 for THP) from a signed long percpu counter. When
nr_pages=-1, -nr_pages=0xffffffff. On 64 bit machines stat->count[idx]
is signed 64 bit. So memcg's attempt to simply decrement a count (e.g.
from 1 to 0) boils down to:
long count = 1
unsigned int nr_pages = 1
count += -nr_pages /* -nr_pages == 0xffff,ffff */
count is now 0x1,0000,0000 instead of 0
The fix is to subtract the unsigned page count rather than adding its
negation. This only works once "percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend
casting for unsigneds" is applied to fix this_cpu_sub().

Notice that we had a very low number of inodes, which were reduced to

int nid)
{
LIST_HEAD(freeable);
long freed;
freed = list_lru_walk_node(&sb->s_inode_lru, nid, inode_lru_isolate,

which does:
unsigned long
list_lru_walk_node(struct list_lru *lru, int nid, list_lru_walk_cb isolate,
void *cb_arg, unsigned long *nr_to_walk)

if (--(*nr_to_walk) == 0)
break;
So, if *nr_to_walk was zero when this function was entered, that means
we're wanting to operate on (~0UL)+1 objects - which might as well be
infinite.
Clearly this is not correct behaviour. If we think about the behaviour
of this function when *nr_to_walk is 1, then clearly it's wrong - we
decrement first and then test for zero - which results in us doing
nothing at all. A post-decrement would give the desired behaviour -
we'd try to walk one object and one object only if *nr_to_walk were one.
It also gives the correct behaviour for zero - we exit at this point.

THP migration uses the page lock to guard against parallel allocations

During hours of testing, one crashed with weird errors and while I have
no direct evidence, I suspect something like the race above happened.
This patch extends the page lock to being held until the pmd_numa is
cleared to prevent migration starting in parallel while the pmd_numa is
being cleared. It also flushes the old pmd entry and orders pagetable
insertion before rmap insertion.

There are three callers of task_numa_fault():
- do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_numa_page():
Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
against the node we migrated to.
- do_pmd_numa_page():
Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
accounts against the node we migrated towards.
This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.
So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.
They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.

THP migrations are serialised by the page lock but on its own that does
not prevent THP splits. If the page is split during THP migration then
the pmd_same checks will prevent page table corruption but the unlock page
and other fix-ups potentially will cause corruption. This patch takes the
anon_vma lock to prevent parallel splits during migration.

The locking for migrating THP is unusual. While normal page migration
prevents parallel accesses using a migration PTE, THP migration relies on
a combination of the page_table_lock, the page lock and the existance of
the NUMA hinting PTE to guarantee safety but there is a bug in the scheme.
If a THP page is currently being migrated and another thread traps a
fault on the same page it checks if the page is misplaced. If it is not,
then pmd_numa is cleared. The problem is that it checks if the page is
misplaced without holding the page lock meaning that the racing thread
can be migrating the THP when the second thread clears the NUMA bit
and faults a stale page.
This patch checks if the page is potentially being migrated and stalls

Revert commit 1ecfd533f4 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail
calling pmd_alloc()").
The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()
ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they
need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
the subsequent do_munmap(). Whereas commit 1ecfd533f4 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from
swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
concurrent swapon.
The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.
The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
0. Swap for some device is on.
1. swapoff:
First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
*p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
released for the call try_to_unuse().
2. swapon:
After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
The swapon ends successfully.
3. swapoff:
Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.
The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.
Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

Commit 3812c8c8f3 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a
memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache
readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate
them all.
First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed
allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of
the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for
added bonus.
Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the
fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault
finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is
attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so
that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

Commit 11feeb4980 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.
That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page. So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.
The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).
This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb4980. The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.

cpu_online_mask doesn't change during the iteration.
cpu_hotplug.lock is held while a cpu is going down, it's a coarse lock
that is used kernel-wide to synchronize cpu hotplug activity. Memcg has
a cpu hotplug notifier, called while there may not be any cpu hotplug
refcounts, which drains per-cpu event counts to memcg->nocpu_base.events
to maintain a cumulative event count as cpus disappear. Without
get_online_cpus() in mem_cgroup_read_events(), it's possible to account
for the event count on a dying cpu twice, and this value may be
significantly large.
In fact, all memcg->pcp_counter_lock use should be nested by
{get,put}_online_cpus().
This fixes that issue and ensures the reported statistics are not vastly
over-reported during cpu hotplug.

Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations,
slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the
per-pgdat migration ratelimit.
This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies
how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page
migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault.
This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in
shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to
the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is,
and to moving the other tasks to near the memory.
Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default
still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before.
Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously,
with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

With the THP migration races closed it is still possible to occasionally
see corruption. The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch.
When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being
faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not
happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but
there are a number of reasons not to
1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get
migrated
2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to
the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only
mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems
due to PID truncation when matching PIDs.
3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa
requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration
and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL
for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy.
PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy
with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the
additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache
boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary.
Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share"
pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement.
This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into
numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when
accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is
stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable
to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for
being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling
decisions based on the grouping information.

The load balancer can move tasks between nodes and does not take NUMA
locality into account. With automatic NUMA balancing this may result in the
tasks working set being migrated to the new node. However, as the fault
buffer will still store faults from the old node the schduler may decide to
reset the preferred node and migrate the task back resulting in more
migrations.
The ideal would be that the scheduler did not migrate tasks with a heavy
memory footprint but this may result nodes being overloaded. We could
also discard the fault information on task migration but this would still
cause all the tasks working set to be migrated. This patch simply avoids
migrating the memory for a short time after a task is migrated.

Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.
To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.
To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.
First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.
The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.
