  • Kmemleak patches

    Main features:
    - Handle percpu memory allocations (only scanning them, not actually
    reporting).
    - Memory hotplug support.

    Usability improvements:
    - Show the origin of early allocations.
    - Report previously found leaks even if kmemleak has been disabled by
    some error.

  • Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
    will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is
    well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
    permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
    needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

    This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
    others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
    actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
    Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
    have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
    practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

    In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
    CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
    /dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
    boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for
    now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
    ioctls. Their actions will still be logged.

    This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver
    however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some
    ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
    programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

  • Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

    The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
    and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

  • Andrew explains:

    - various misc stuff

    - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.

    - cpumask

    - kexec

    - kdump

    - some direct-io performance tweaking

    - radix-tree optimisations

    - new selftests code

    A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
    feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
    feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
    Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
    thrown into Documentation/(!).

    This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
    will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
    the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
    or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.

    The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
    evolves.

    - checkpoint/restart feature work.

    A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
    c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
    into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.

    So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
    little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
    expose something new or which permit something which is normally
    kernel-private to be modified.

    The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
    and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
    with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
    than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.

    However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
    eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
    of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
    eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
    be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.

    This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

  • When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
    from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch
    adds auxilary prctl codes for that.

    While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
    into calculation of /proc//statm output) the start_brk and brk values
    are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
    Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
    operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
    prctl calls:

    - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
    - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
    VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
    such as:
    - code segment must be executable but not writable;
    - data segment must not be executable.

    start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
    exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.

    Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.

    Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
    otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

    The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.

    This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
    it's visible to block_devices. I think that's safe correct?

    Quoting Russell King:

    "linux/crash_dump.h makes no attempt to include asm/elf.h, but it depends
    on stuff in asm/elf.h to determine how stuff inside this file is defined
    at parse time.

    So, if asm/elf.h is included after linux/crash_dump.h or not at all, you
    get a different result from the situation where asm/elf.h is included
    before."

    So add elf.h header to crash_dump.h to avoid this problem.

  • Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru()
    by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's
    free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release().

    Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever
    pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces
    (which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly,
    removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim.
    Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with
    a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in
    deep backtraces.

    However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages
    (nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the
    time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible
    for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left
    holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely
    compound case before putting on pages_to_free.

    Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru().
    The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c,
    but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

  • This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
    mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
    maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
    For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
    used.

    This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
    particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
    large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
    ->writepages.

  • Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware")
    noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that
    is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list. This
    had to be partially reverted because some dirty pages can be migrated by
    compaction without blocking.

    This patch updates "mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page" by skipping
    over pages that migration has no possibility of migrating to minimise LRU
    disruption.

  • Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
    avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling,
    there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
    impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty
    pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

    if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
    mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
    rc = -EBUSY;

    This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
    it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This
    patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is
    the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
    block.

  • In trace_mm_vmscan_lru_isolate(), we don't output 'file' information to
    the trace event and it is a bit inconvenient for the user to get the
    real information(like pasted below). mm_vmscan_lru_isolate:
    isolate_mode=2 order=0 nr_requested=32 nr_scanned=32 nr_taken=32
    contig_taken=0 contig_dirty=0 contig_failed=0

    'active' can be obtained by analyzing mode(Thanks go to Minchan and
    Mel), So this patch adds 'file' to the trace event and it now looks
    like: mm_vmscan_lru_isolate: isolate_mode=2 order=0 nr_requested=32
    nr_scanned=32 nr_taken=32 contig_taken=0 contig_dirty=0 contig_failed=0

  • We have tlb_remove_tlb_entry to indicate a pte tlb flush entry should be
    flushed, but not a corresponding API for pmd entry. This isn't a
    problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush()
    under x86 will flush entire TLB. But this is confusion and could be
    missed if thp is ported to other arch.

    Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in
    __tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli. The
    __tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after
    tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

  • Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see
    valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten.

    This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees
    - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU.

    By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check
    bits on pc->flags. This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin. But
    in most case, lru handling gets faster.

    After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.

  • This is a preparation before removing a flag PCG_ACCT_LRU in page_cgroup
    and reducing atomic ops/complexity in memcg LRU handling.

    In some cases, pages are added to lru before charge to memcg and pages
    are not classfied to memory cgroup at lru addtion. Now, the lru where
    the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and
    pc->mem_cgroup. I'd like to remove the check of flag.

    To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages
    are added to LRU before classification. This patch resets
    pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.
