HWPOISON: The high level memory error handler in the VM v7
Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages
that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM
or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone
from accessing these pages in the future.
This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned
and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page
it is.
The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c
To quote the overview comment:
High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
failure.
This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background.
When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently
running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies
that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to
just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead
when that happens another machine check will happen.
Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
error handling takes potentially a long time.
Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non
linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not
been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case
for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected
to be rare we hope we can get away with this.
There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison:
- just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before
killing
- kill as soon as corruption is detected.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used
in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can
be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill
The default is early kill.
The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect
processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure
knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep
everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways
Includes contributions from Johannes Weiner, Chris Mason, Fengguang Wu,
Nick Piggin (who did a lot of great work) and others.
HWPOISON: Add PR_MCE_KILL prctl to control early kill behaviour per process
This allows processes to override their early/late kill
behaviour on hardware memory errors.
Typically applications which are memory error aware is
better of with early kill (see the error as soon
as possible), all others with late kill (only
see the error when the error is really impacting execution)
There's a global sysctl, but this way an application
can set its specific policy.
We're using two bits, one to signify that the process
stated its intention and that
I also made the prctl future proof by enforcing
the unused arguments are 0.
The state is inherited to children.
Note this makes us officially run out of process flags
on 32bit, but the next patch can easily add another field.
HWPOISON: shmem: call set_page_dirty() with locked page
The dirtying of page and set_page_dirty() can be moved into the page lock.
- In shmem_write_end(), the page was dirtied while the page lock was held,
but it's being marked dirty just after dropping the page lock.
- In shmem_symlink(), both dirtying and marking can be moved into page lock.
It's valuable for the hwpoison code to know whether one bad page can be dropped
without losing data. It mainly judges by testing the PG_dirty bit after taking
the page lock. So it becomes important that the dirtying of page and the
marking of dirtiness are both done inside the page lock. Which is a common
practice, but sadly not a rule.
The noticeable exceptions are
- mapped pages
- pages with buffer_heads
The above pages could go dirty at any time. Fortunately the hwpoison will
unmap the page and release the buffer_heads beforehand anyway.
Many other types of pages (eg. metadata pages) can also be dirtied at will by
their owners, the hwpoison code cannot do meaningful things to them anyway.
Only the dirtiness of pagecache pages owned by regular files are interested.
v2: AK: Add comment about set_page_dirty rules (suggested by Peter Zijlstra)
HWPOISON: check and isolate corrupted free pages v2
If memory corruption hits the free buddy pages, we can safely ignore them.
No one will access them until page allocation time, then prep_new_page()
will automatically check and isolate PG_hwpoison page for us (for 0-order
allocation).
This patch expands prep_new_page() to check every component page in a high
order page allocation, in order to completely stop PG_hwpoison pages from
being recirculated.
Note that the common case -- only allocating a single page, doesn't
do any more work than before. Allocating > order 0 does a bit more work,
but that's relatively uncommon.
This simple implementation may drop some innocent neighbor pages, hopefully
it is not a big problem because the event should be rare enough.
This patch adds some runtime costs to high order page users.

HWPOISON: Handle hardware poisoned pages in try_to_unmap
When a page has the poison bit set replace the PTE with a poison entry.
This causes the right error handling to be done later when a process runs
into it.
v2: add a new flag to not do that (needed for the memory-failure handler
later) (Fengguang)
v3: remove unnecessary is_migration_entry() test (Fengguang, Minchan)
HWPOISON: Use bitmask/action code for try_to_unmap behaviour
try_to_unmap currently has multiple modi (migration, munlock, normal unmap)
which are selected by magic flag variables. The logic is not very straight
forward, because each of these flag change multiple behaviours (e.g.
migration turns off aging, not only sets up migration ptes etc.)
Also the different flags interact in magic ways.
A later patch in this series adds another mode to try_to_unmap, so
this becomes quickly unmanageable.
Replace the different flags with a action code (migration, munlock, munmap)
and some additional flags as modifiers (ignore mlock, ignore aging).
This makes the logic more straight forward and allows easier extension
to new behaviours. Change all the caller to declare what they want to
do.
This patch is supposed to be a nop in behaviour. If anyone can prove
it is not that would be a bug.
HWPOISON: x86: Add VM_FAULT_HWPOISON handling to x86 page fault handler v2
Add VM_FAULT_HWPOISON handling to the x86 page fault handler. This is
very similar to VM_FAULT_OOM, the only difference is that a different
si_code is passed to user space and the new addr_lsb field is initialized.
Bail out early when hardware poisoned pages are found in page fault handling.
Since they are poisoned they should not be mapped freshly into processes,
because that would cause another (potentially deadly) machine check
This is generally handled in the same way as OOM, just a different
error code is returned to the architecture code.
HWPOISON: Add basic support for poisoned pages in fault handler v3
- Add a new VM_FAULT_HWPOISON error code to handle_mm_fault. Right now
architectures have to explicitely enable poison page support, so
this is forward compatible to all architectures. They only need
to add it when they enable poison page support.
- Add poison page handling in swap in fault code
HWPOISON: Add new SIGBUS error codes for hardware poison signals
Add new SIGBUS codes for reporting machine checks as signals. When
the hardware detects an uncorrected ECC error it can trigger these
signals.
This is needed for telling KVM's qemu about machine checks that happen to
guests, so that it can inject them, but might be also useful for other programs.
I find it useful in my test programs.
This patch merely defines the new types.
- Define two new si_codes for SIGBUS. BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEERR_AR
* BUS_MCEERR_AO is for "Action Optional" machine checks, which means that some
corruption has been detected in the background, but nothing has been consumed
so far. The program can ignore those if it wants (but most programs would
already get killed)
* BUS_MCEERR_AR is for "Action Required" machine checks. This happens
when corrupted data is consumed or the application ran into an area
which has been known to be corrupted earlier. These require immediate
action and cannot just returned to. Most programs would kill themselves.
- They report the address of the corruption in the user address space
in si_addr.
- Define a new si_addr_lsb field that reports the extent of the corruption
to user space. That's currently always a (small) page. The user application
cannot tell where in this page the corruption happened.
AK: I plan to write a man page update before anyone asks.
Memory migration uses special swap entry types to trigger special actions on
page faults. Extend this mechanism to also support poisoned swap entries, to
trigger poison handling on page faults. This allows follow-on patches to
prevent processes from faulting in poisoned pages again.
HWPOISON: Export some rmap vma locking to outside world
Needed for later patch that walks rmap entries on its own.
This used to be very frowned upon, but memory-failure.c does
some rather specialized rmap walking and rmap has been stable
for quite some time, so I think it's ok now to export it.

KEYS: Fix garbage collector
Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector:
(1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead
keys to be miscalculated.
(2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances,
the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice.
(3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage
collector has been modified to:
(a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer.
(b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire. This means
that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't
get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and
preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old
keyring contents.
(c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one
as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we
don't set the timer again.
(4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run,
rather than the time at which the key expires. This means the collection
of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately.

PM / Hibernate / Memory hotplug: Always use for_each_populated_zone()
Use for_each_populated_zone() instead of for_each_zone() in hibernation
code. This fixes a bug on s390, where we allow both config options
HIBERNATION and MEMORY_HOTPLUG, so that we also have a ZONE_MOVABLE
here. We only allow hibernation if no memory hotplug operation was
performed, so in fact both features can only be used exclusively, but
this way we don't need 2 differently configured (distribution) kernels.
If we have an unpopulated ZONE_MOVABLE, we allow hibernation but run
into a BUG_ON() in memory_bm_test/set/clear_bit() because hibernation
code iterates through all zones, not only the populated zones, in
several places. For example, swsusp_free() does for_each_zone() and
then checks for pfn_valid(), which is true even if the zone is not
populated, resulting in a BUG_ON() later because the pfn cannot be
found in the memory bitmap.
Replacing all occurences of for_each_zone() in hibernation code with
for_each_populated_zone() would fix this issue.

PM/Hibernate: Do not try to allocate too much memory too hard (rev. 2)
We want to avoid attempting to free too much memory too hard during
hibernation, so estimate the minimum size of the image to use as the
lower limit for preallocating memory.
The approach here is based on the (experimental) observation that we
can't free more page frames than the sum of:
Namely, if this number is subtracted from the number of saveable
pages in the system, we get a good estimate of the minimum reasonable
size of a hibernation image.

PM/Hibernate: Do not release preallocated memory unnecessarily (rev. 2)
Since the hibernation code is now going to use allocations of memory
to make enough room for the image, it can also use the page frames
allocated at this stage as image page frames. The low-level
hibernation code needs to be rearranged for this purpose, but it
allows us to avoid freeing a great number of pages and allocating
these same pages once again later, so it generally is worth doing.
Rework swsusp_shrink_memory() so that it calls shrink_all_memory()
just once to make some room for the image and then allocates memory
to apply more pressure to the memory management subsystem, if
necessary.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to drop shrink_all_memory()
entirely just yet, because that would lead to huge performance
regressions in some test cases.

udf: Perform preallocation only for regular files
So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
memory reclaim.
So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
in udf_release_file.
EDAC, AMD: carve out decoding of MCi_STATUS ErrorCode
This is the MCE error code from the MCi_STATUS banks, bits [15:0] which
describe what type of error was encountered: GART TLB, Memory or Bus
error. The semantics of those bits are identical across all MCE banks so
decode those separately, irrespectively of MCE type.
The MCi_STATUS registers have most field definitions in common so decode
them in the general path. Do not pass ecc_type along and compute it in
__amd64_decode_bus_error instead.

fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync
Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete. What sounds
like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.
For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
we can write out the metadata. For old fashionen filesystems that
instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
blocks after a crash. While a few filesystems that need it already wait
for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.
Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:
never touch pagecache themselves. We need to wait before if we do
not want to expose stale data after an allocation.
- afs_fsync:
- fuse_fsync_common:
do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
proper semantics
- block_fsync:
Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode. Because we
now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
be an improvement.
would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
i_size updates. Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.
currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
could benefit from doing it properly.
- gfs2_fsync:
not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
Currently writes back data asynchronously itself. Needs some
major audit.
- hostfs_fsync:
just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD. Without the wait before
data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.
- hpfs_file_fsync:
- ncp_fsync:
no-ops. Dangerous before and after.
- jffs2_fsync:
just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.
- nfs_fsync_dir:
just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous
- nfs_file_fsync:
only writes out data??? Looks very odd.
- nilfs_sync_file:
looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code
- ntfs_dir_fsync:
- ntfs_file_fsync:
appear to do their own data writeback. Very convoluted code.
- ocfs2_sync_file:
does it's own data writeback, but no wait. probably needs the wait.
- smb_fsync:
according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
the wait before.
This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers. Note that most
filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
gems found in this very brief audit.
