This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move().
At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes
for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup. There has been a
bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time.
Before patch:
- The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.'
- The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'.
If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved.
After patch:
- The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
- The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience.
'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which
don't do exec(). Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane.
For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change. (Anyway, no
one noticed the implementation for a long time...)
Below is a discussion log:
- current spec/implementation are complex
- Now, shared file caches are moved
- It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check,
we should check swap users, etc.
- No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit
from the design.
- In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not
be moved....
- Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.
Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes
memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.
shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.
We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).
This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.
Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.
It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.
But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
support more swap_flags in future.
It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
revert if it turns out to do so.

When swapon() was not passed the SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD option, sys_swapon()
will still perform a discard operation. This can cause problems if
discard is slow or buggy.
Reverse the order of the check so that a discard operation is performed

Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability
reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before. This
can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space
ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective.
On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to
page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down
to a crawl.
This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of
stopping at them. This allows the system to swap things back in at rates
of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second.
The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in
read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of
code.

In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.
====== start quote =======
mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

// Here we set the page's PMD entry which will be cleared
// when Thread A calls pmd_clear_bad().
...
spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)
The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
it in shared mode (down_read). Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A
does not synchronize on that lock.

Colin Cross reported;
Under the following conditions, __alloc_pages_slowpath can loop forever:
gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT is true
gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false
reclaim and compaction make no progress
order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
These conditions happen very often during suspend and resume,
when pm_restrict_gfp_mask() effectively converts all GFP_KERNEL
allocations into __GFP_WAIT.
The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false,
but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less
than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress
and __GFP_FS was not set. The problem is that this would result in
GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very
unfortunate.
The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to
behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and
kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay.
The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device
may be suspended.
This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if
reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how
gfp_allowed_mask is currently used. Failing allocations like this may
cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

test_set_oom_score_adj() was introduced in 72788c3856 ("oom: replace
PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj") to temporarily elevate
current's oom_score_adj for ksm and swapoff without requiring an
additional per-process flag.
Using that function to both set oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX and
then reinstate the previous value is racy since it's possible that
userspace can set the value to something else itself before the old value
is reinstated. That results in userspace setting current's oom_score_adj
to a different value and then the kernel immediately setting it back to
its previous value without notification.
To fix this, a new compare_swap_oom_score_adj() function is introduced
with the same semantics as the compare and swap CAS instruction, or
CMPXCHG on x86. It is used to reinstate the previous value of
oom_score_adj if and only if the present value is the same as the old
value.

If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.
Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().
So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
find_lock_page(), where it is an added test. And make it a BUG in
find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.
A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
entries.
The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
into a pte_t when stored in page tables.
In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
swapfile size of 128GB. Which is less than the 512GB we previously
allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset). Thirty areas of 128GB is
probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.
Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always
helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty.
It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process
flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages.
PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a
tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for
killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making
the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task.
This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to
setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.
The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old
value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a
high priority for oom killing.

Fix up conflicts in fs/{aio.c,super.c}
Remove initialization of vaiable in caller of memory cgroup function.
Actually, it's return value of memcg function but it's initialized in
caller.
Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result of start
function to the end function for avoiding races.
mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr))
/* Something very complicated can happen here. */
mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr)
In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller. But it's
ugly. This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start function.

A conflict between 52c50567d8 ("mm: swap: unlock swapfile inode mutex
before closing file on bad swapfiles") and 83ef99befc ("sys_swapon:
remove did_down variable") caused a double unlock of the inode mutex
(once in bad_swap: before the filp_close, once at the end just before
returning).
The patch which added the extra unlock cleared did_down to avoid
unlocking twice, but the other patch removed the did_down variable.
To fix, set inode to NULL after the first unlock, since it will be used
after that point only for the final unlock.
While checking this patch, I found a path which could unlock without
locking, in case the same inode was added as a swapfile twice. To fix,
move the setting of the inode variable further down, to just before
claim_swapfile, which will lock the inode before doing anything else.

scan_swap_map() is a large function (224 lines), with several loops and a
complex control flow involving several gotos.
Given all that, it is a bit silly that it is marked as inline. The
compiler agrees with me: on a x86-64 compile, it did not inline the
function.
Remove the "inline" and let the compiler decide instead.

The call to swap_cgroup_swapon is in the middle of loading the swap map
and extents. As it only does memory allocation and does not depend on
the swapfile layout (map/extents), it can be called earlier (or later).
Move it to just after the allocation of swap_map, since it is
conceptually similar (allocates a map).

sys_swapon currently has two error labels, bad_swap and bad_swap_2.
bad_swap does the same as bad_swap_2 plus destroy_swap_extents() and
swap_cgroup_swapoff(); both are noops in the places where bad_swap_2 is
jumped to. With a single extra test for inode (matching the one in the
S_ISREG case below), all the error paths in the function can go to
bad_swap.

The only way error is 0 in the cleanup blocks is when the function is
returning successfully. In this case, the cleanup blocks were setting
S_SWAPFILE in the S_ISREG case. But this is not a cleanup.
Move the setting of S_SWAPFILE to just before the "goto out;" to make
this more clear. At this point, we do not need to test for inode because
it will never be NULL.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This patch series refactors the sys_swapon function.
sys_swapon is currently a very large function, with 313 lines (more than
12 25-line screens), which can make it a bit hard to read. This patch
series reduces this size by half, by extracting large chunks of related
code to new helper functions.
One of these chunks of code was nearly identical to the part of
sys_swapoff which is used in case of a failure return from
try_to_unuse(), so this patch series also makes both share the same
code.
As a side effect of all this refactoring, the compiled code gets a bit
smaller (from v1 of this patch series):
text data bss dec hex filename
14012 944 276 15232 3b80 mm/swapfile.o.before
13941 944 276 15161 3b39 mm/swapfile.o.after

If an administrator tries to swapon a file backed by NFS, the inode mutex is
taken (as it is for any swapfile) but later identified to be a bad swapfile
due to the lack of bmap and tries to cleanup. During cleanup, an attempt is
made to close the file but with inode->i_mutex still held. Closing an NFS
file syncs it which tries to acquire the inode mutex leading to deadlock. If
lockdep is enabled the following appears on the console;

This patch releases the mutex if its held before calling filep_close()
