Li Wang discovered that LTP/move_page12 V2 sometimes triggers SIGBUS in
the kernel-v5.2.3 testing. This is caused by a race between hugetlb
page migration and page fault.
If a hugetlb page can not be allocated to satisfy a page fault, the task
is sent SIGBUS. This is normal hugetlbfs behavior. A hugetlb fault
mutex exists to prevent two tasks from trying to instantiate the same
page. This protects against the situation where there is only one
hugetlb page, and both tasks would try to allocate. Without the mutex,
one would fail and SIGBUS even though the other fault would be
successful.
There is a similar race between hugetlb page migration and fault.
Migration code will allocate a page for the target of the migration. It
will then unmap the original page from all page tables. It does this
unmap by first clearing the pte and then writing a migration entry. The
page table lock is held for the duration of this clear and write
operation. However, the beginnings of the hugetlb page fault code
optimistically checks the pte without taking the page table lock. If
clear (as it can be during the migration unmap operation), a hugetlb
page allocation is attempted to satisfy the fault. Note that the page
which will eventually satisfy this fault was already allocated by the
migration code. However, the allocation within the fault path could
fail which would result in the task incorrectly being sent SIGBUS.
Ideally, we could take the hugetlb fault mutex in the migration code
when modifying the page tables. However, locks must be taken in the
order of hugetlb fault mutex, page lock, page table lock. This would
require significant rework of the migration code. Instead, the issue is
addressed in the hugetlb fault code. After failing to allocate a huge
page, take the page table lock and check for huge_pte_none before
returning an error. This is the same check that must be made further in
the code even if page allocation is successful.

Dave Chinner reported a problem pointing a finger at commit 1c30844d2dfe
("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").
The report is extensive:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190807091858.2857-1-david@fromorbit.com/
and it's worth recording the most relevant parts (colorful language and
typos included).
When running a simple, steady state 4kB file creation test to
simulate extracting tarballs larger than memory full of small
files into the filesystem, I noticed that once memory fills up
the cache balance goes to hell.
The workload is creating one dirty cached inode for every dirty
page, both of which should require a single IO each to clean and
reclaim, and creation of inodes is throttled by the rate at which
dirty writeback runs at (via balance dirty pages). Hence the ingest
rate of new cached inodes and page cache pages is identical and
steady. As a result, memory reclaim should quickly find a steady
balance between page cache and inode caches.
The moment memory fills, the page cache is reclaimed at a much
faster rate than the inode cache, and evidence suggests that
the inode cache shrinker is not being called when large batches
of pages are being reclaimed. In roughly the same time period
that it takes to fill memory with 50% pages and 50% slab caches,
memory reclaim reduces the page cache down to just dirty pages
and slab caches fill the entirety of memory.
The LRU is largely full of dirty pages, and we're getting spikes
of random writeback from memory reclaim so it's all going to shit.
Behaviour never recovers, the page cache remains pinned at just
dirty pages, and nothing I could tune would make any difference.
vfs_cache_pressure makes no difference - I would set it so high
it should trim the entire inode caches in a single pass, yet it
didn't do anything. It was clear from tracing and live telemetry
that the shrinkers were pretty much not running except when
there was absolutely no memory free at all, and then they did
the minimum necessary to free memory to make progress.
So I went looking at the code, trying to find places where pages
got reclaimed and the shrinkers weren't called. There's only one
- kswapd doing boosted reclaim as per commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm:
reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").
The watermark boosting introduced by the commit is triggered in response
to an allocation "fragmentation event". The boosting was not intended
to target THP specifically and triggers even if THP is disabled.
However, with Dave's perfectly reasonable workload, fragmentation events
can be very common given the ratio of slab to page cache allocations so
boosting remains active for long periods of time.
As high-order allocations might use compaction and compaction cannot
move slab pages the decision was made in the commit to special-case
kswapd when watermarks are boosted -- kswapd avoids reclaiming slab as
reclaiming slab does not directly help compaction.
As Dave notes, this decision means that slab can be artificially
protected for long periods of time and messes up the balance with slab
and page caches.
Removing the special casing can still indirectly help avoid
fragmentation by avoiding fragmentation-causing events due to slab
allocation as pages from a slab pageblock will have some slab objects
freed. Furthermore, with the special casing, reclaim behaviour is
unpredictable as kswapd sometimes examines slab and sometimes does not
in a manner that is tricky to tune or analyse.
This patch removes the special casing. The downside is that this is not
a universal performance win. Some benchmarks that depend on the
residency of data when rereading metadata may see a regression when slab
reclaim is restored to its original behaviour. Similarly, some
benchmarks that only read-once or write-once may perform better when
page reclaim is too aggressive. The primary upside is that slab
shrinker is less surprising (arguably more sane but that's a matter of
opinion), behaves consistently regardless of the fragmentation state of
the system and properly obeys VM sysctls.
A fsmark benchmark configuration was constructed similar to what Dave
reported and is codified by the mmtest configuration
config-io-fsmark-small-file-stream. It was evaluated on a 1-socket
machine to avoid dealing with NUMA-related issues and the timing of
reclaim. The storage was an SSD Samsung Evo and a fresh trimmed XFS
filesystem was used for the test data.
This is not an exact replication of Dave's setup. The configuration
scales its parameters depending on the memory size of the SUT to behave
similarly across machines. The parameters mean the first sample
reported by fs_mark is using 50% of RAM which will barely be throttled
and look like a big outlier. Dave used fake NUMA to have multiple
kswapd instances which I didn't replicate. Finally, the number of
iterations differ from Dave's test as the target disk was not large
enough. While not identical, it should be representative.

This is showing a slight skew for the max result representing a large
outlier for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile are similar indicating that
the bulk of the results show little difference. Note that an earlier
version of the fsmark configuration showed a regression but that
included more samples taken while memory was still filling.
Note that the elapsed time is higher. Part of this is that the
configuration included time to delete all the test files when the test
completes -- the test automation handles the possibility of testing
fsmark with multiple thread counts. Without the patch, many of these
objects would be memory resident which is part of what the patch is
addressing.
There are other important observations that justify the patch.
1. With the vanilla kernel, the number of dirty pages in the system is
very low for much of the test. With this patch, dirty pages is
generally kept at 10% which matches vm.dirty_background_ratio which
is normal expected historical behaviour.
2. With the vanilla kernel, the ratio of Slab/Pagecache is close to
0.95 for much of the test i.e. Slab is being left alone and
dominating memory consumption. With the patch applied, the ratio
varies between 0.35 and 0.45 with the bulk of the measured ratios
roughly half way between those values. This is a different balance to
what Dave reported but it was at least consistent.
3. Slabs are scanned throughout the entire test with the patch applied.
The vanille kernel has periods with no scan activity and then
relatively massive spikes.
4. Without the patch, kswapd scan rates are very variable. With the
patch, the scan rates remain quite steady.
4. Overall vmstats are closer to normal expectations

o Vanilla kernel is hitting direct reclaim more frequently,
not very much in absolute terms but the fact the patch
reduces it is interesting
o "Page reclaim immediate" in the vanilla kernel indicates
dirty pages are being encountered at the tail of the LRU.
This is generally bad and means in this case that the LRU
is not long enough for dirty pages to be cleaned by the
background flush in time. This is much reduced by the
patch.
o With the patch, kswapd is reclaiming 10 times more slab
pages than with the vanilla kernel. This is indicative
of the watermark boosting over-protecting slab
A more complete set of tests were run that were part of the basis for
introducing boosting and while there are some differences, they are well
within tolerances.
Bottom line, the special casing kswapd to avoid slab behaviour is
unpredictable and can lead to abnormal results for normal workloads.
This patch restores the expected behaviour that slab and page cache is
balanced consistently for a workload with a steady allocation ratio of
slab/pagecache pages. It also means that if there are workloads that
favour the preservation of slab over pagecache that it can be tuned via
vm.vfs_cache_pressure where as the vanilla kernel effectively ignores
the parameter when boosting is active.

This reverts commit 2f0799a0ffc033b ("mm, thp: restore node-local
hugepage allocations").
commit 2f0799a0ffc033b was rightfully applied to avoid the risk of a
severe regression that was reported by the kernel test robot at the end
of the merge window. Now we understood the regression was a false
positive and was caused by a significant increase in fairness during a
swap trashing benchmark. So it's safe to re-apply the fix and continue
improving the code from there. The benchmark that reported the
regression is very useful, but it provides a meaningful result only when
there is no significant alteration in fairness during the workload. The
removal of __GFP_THISNODE increased fairness.
__GFP_THISNODE cannot be used in the generic page faults path for new
memory allocations under the MPOL_DEFAULT mempolicy, or the allocation
behavior significantly deviates from what the MPOL_DEFAULT semantics are
supposed to be for THP and 4k allocations alike.
Setting THP defrag to "always" or using MADV_HUGEPAGE (with THP defrag
set to "madvise") has never meant to provide an implicit MPOL_BIND on
the "current" node the task is running on, causing swap storms and
providing a much more aggressive behavior than even zone_reclaim_node =
3.
Any workload who could have benefited from __GFP_THISNODE has now to
enable zone_reclaim_mode=1||2||3. __GFP_THISNODE implicitly provided
the zone_reclaim_mode behavior, but it only did so if THP was enabled:
if THP was disabled, there would have been no chance to get any 4k page
from the current node if the current node was full of pagecache, which
further shows how this __GFP_THISNODE was misplaced in MADV_HUGEPAGE.
MADV_HUGEPAGE has never been intended to provide any zone_reclaim_mode
semantics, in fact the two are orthogonal, zone_reclaim_mode = 1|2|3
must work exactly the same with MADV_HUGEPAGE set or not.
The performance characteristic of memory depends on the hardware
details. The numbers below are obtained on Naples/EPYC architecture and
the N/A projection extends them to show what we should aim for in the
future as a good THP NUMA locality default. The benchmark used
exercises random memory seeks (note: the cost of the page faults is not
part of the measurement).
D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 THP | D1 4k | D2 THP | D2 4k | D3 THP | D3 4k | ...
0% | +43% | +45% | +106% | +131% | +224% | N/A | N/A
D0 means distance zero (i.e. local memory), D1 means distance one (i.e.
intra socket memory), D2 means distance two (i.e. inter socket memory),
etc...
For the guest physical memory allocated by qemu and for guest mode
kernel the performance characteristic of RAM is more complex and an
ideal default could be:
D0 THP | D1 THP | D0 4k | D2 THP | D1 4k | D3 THP | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
0% | +58% | +101% | N/A | +222% | N/A | N/A | N/A
NOTE: the N/A are projections and haven't been measured yet, the
measurement in this case is done on a 1950x with only two NUMA nodes.
The THP case here means THP was used both in the host and in the guest.
After applying this commit the THP NUMA locality order that we'll get
out of MADV_HUGEPAGE is this:
D0 THP | D1 THP | D2 THP | D3 THP | ... | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
Before this commit it was:
D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
Even if we ignore the breakage of large workloads that can't fit in a
single node that the __GFP_THISNODE implicit "current node" mbind
caused, the THP NUMA locality order provided by __GFP_THISNODE was still
not the one we shall aim for in the long term (i.e. the first one at
the top).
After this commit is applied, we can introduce a new allocator multi
order API and to replace those two alloc_pages_vmas calls in the page
fault path, with a single multi order call:
unsigned int order = (1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER) | (1 << 0);
page = alloc_pages_multi_order(..., &order);
if (!page)
goto out;
if (!(order & (1 << 0))) {
VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER);
/* THP fault */
} else {
VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << 0);
/* 4k fallback */
}
The page allocator logic has to be altered so that when it fails on any
zone with order 9, it has to try again with a order 0 before falling
back to the next zone in the zonelist.
After that we need to do more measurements and evaluate if adding an
opt-in feature for guest mode is worth it, to swap "DN 4k | DN+1 THP"
with "DN+1 THP | DN 4k" at every NUMA distance crossing.

alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Patch series "reapply: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings".
The fixes for what was originally reported as "pathological THP
behavior" we rightfully reverted to be sure not to introduced
regressions at end of a merge window after a severe regression report
from the kernel bot. We can safely re-apply them now that we had time
to analyze the problem.
The mm process worked fine, because the good fixes were eventually
committed upstream without excessive delay.
The regression reported by the kernel bot however forced us to revert
the good fixes to be sure not to introduce regressions and to give us
the time to analyze the issue further. The silver lining is that this
extra time allowed to think more at this issue and also plan for a
future direction to improve things further in terms of THP NUMA
locality.
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit 356ff8a9a78fb35d ("Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP
gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"). So it reapplies
89c83fb539f954 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into
alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask").
Consolidation of the THP allocation flags at the same place was meant to
be a clean up to easier handle otherwise scattered code which is
imposing a maintenance burden. There were no real problems observed
with the gfp mask consolidation but the reversion was rushed through
without a larger consensus regardless.
This patch brings the consolidation back because this should make the
long term maintainability easier as well as it should allow future
changes to be less error prone.

Memcg counters for shadow nodes are broken because the memcg pointer is
obtained in a wrong way. The following approach is used:
virt_to_page(xa_node)->mem_cgroup
Since commit 4d96ba353075 ("mm: memcg/slab: stop setting
page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages") page->mem_cgroup pointer isn't
set for slab pages, so memcg_from_slab_page() should be used instead.
Also I doubt that it ever worked correctly: virt_to_head_page() should
be used instead of virt_to_page(). Otherwise objects residing on tail
pages are not accounted, because only the head page contains a valid
mem_cgroup pointer. That was a case since the introduction of these
counters by the commit 68d48e6a2df5 ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter
for shadow nodes").

Currently, when checking to see if accessing n bytes starting at address
"ptr" will cause a wraparound in the memory addresses, the check in
check_bogus_address() adds an extra byte, which is incorrect, as the
range of addresses that will be accessed is [ptr, ptr + (n - 1)].
This can lead to incorrectly detecting a wraparound in the memory
address, when trying to read 4 KB from memory that is mapped to the the
last possible page in the virtual address space, when in fact, accessing
that range of memory would not cause a wraparound to occur.
Use the memory range that will actually be accessed when considering if
accessing a certain amount of bytes will cause the memory address to
wrap around.

If an error occurs during kmemleak_init() (e.g. kmem cache cannot be
created), kmemleak is disabled but kmemleak_early_log remains enabled.
Subsequently, when the .init.text section is freed, the log_early()
function no longer exists. To avoid a page fault in such scenario,
ensure that kmemleak_disable() also disables early logging.

Recent changes to the vmalloc code by commit 68ad4a330433
("mm/vmalloc.c: keep track of free blocks for vmap allocation") can
cause spurious percpu allocation failures. These, in turn, can result
in panic()s in the slub code. One such possible panic was reported by
Dave Hansen in following link https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/19/939.
Another related panic observed is,

VMALLOC memory manager divides the entire VMALLOC space (VMALLOC_START
to VMALLOC_END) into multiple VM areas (struct vm_areas), and it mainly
uses two lists (vmap_area_list & free_vmap_area_list) to track the used
and free VM areas in VMALLOC space. And pcpu_get_vm_areas(offsets[],
sizes[], nr_vms, align) function is used for allocating congruent VM
areas for percpu memory allocator. In order to not conflict with
VMALLOC users, pcpu_get_vm_areas allocates VM areas near the end of the
VMALLOC space. So the search for free vm_area for the given requirement
starts near VMALLOC_END and moves upwards towards VMALLOC_START.
Prior to commit 68ad4a330433, the search for free vm_area in
pcpu_get_vm_areas() involves following two main steps.
Step 1:
Find a aligned "base" adress near VMALLOC_END.
va = free vm area near VMALLOC_END
Step 2:
Loop through number of requested vm_areas and check,
Step 2.1:
if (base < VMALLOC_START)
1. fail with error
Step 2.2:
// end is offsets[area] + sizes[area]
if (base + end > va->vm_end)
1. Move the base downwards and repeat Step 2
Step 2.3:
if (base + start < va->vm_start)
1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned
base address and repeat Step 2
But Commit 68ad4a330433 removed Step 2.2 and modified Step 2.3 as below:
Step 2.3:
if (base + start < va->vm_start || base + end > va->vm_end)
1. Move to previous free vm_area node, find aligned
base address and repeat Step 2
Above change is the root cause of spurious percpu memory allocation
failures. For example, consider a case where a relatively large vm_area
(~ 30 TB) was ignored in free vm_area search because it did not pass the
base + end < vm->vm_end boundary check. Ignoring such large free
vm_area's would lead to not finding free vm_area within boundary of
VMALLOC_start to VMALLOC_END which in turn leads to allocation failures.
So modify the search algorithm to include Step 2.2.

This patch is sent to report an use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()
after merging commit be2657752e9e ("mm: memcg: fix use after free in
mem_cgroup_iter()").
I work with android kernel tree (4.9 & 4.14), and commit be2657752e9e
("mm: memcg: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()") has been merged
to the trees. However, I can still observe use after free issues
addressed in the commit be2657752e9e. (on low-end devices, a few times
this month)
backtrace:

To debug, I poisoned mem_cgroup before freeing it:
static void __mem_cgroup_free(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)
for_each_node(node)
free_mem_cgroup_per_node_info(memcg, node);
free_percpu(memcg->stat);
+ /* poison memcg before freeing it */
+ memset(memcg, 0x78, sizeof(struct mem_cgroup));
kfree(memcg);
}
The coredump shows the position=0xdbbc2a00 is freed.

In the reclaim path, try_to_free_pages() does not setup
sc.target_mem_cgroup and sc is passed to do_try_to_free_pages(), ...,
shrink_node().
In mem_cgroup_iter(), root is set to root_mem_cgroup because
sc->target_mem_cgroup is NULL. It is possible to assign a memcg to
root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter in mem_cgroup_iter().
try_to_free_pages
struct scan_control sc = {...}, target_mem_cgroup is 0x0;
do_try_to_free_pages
shrink_zones
shrink_node
mem_cgroup *root = sc->target_mem_cgroup;
memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(root, NULL, &reclaim);
mem_cgroup_iter()
if (!root)
root = root_mem_cgroup;
...
css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &root->css);
memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
cmpxchg(&iter->position, pos, memcg);
My device uses memcg non-hierarchical mode. When we release a memcg:
invalidate_reclaim_iterators() reaches only dead_memcg and its parents.
If non-hierarchical mode is used, invalidate_reclaim_iterators() never
reaches root_mem_cgroup.
static void invalidate_reclaim_iterators(struct mem_cgroup *dead_memcg)
{
struct mem_cgroup *memcg = dead_memcg;
for (; memcg; memcg = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg)
...
}
So the use after free scenario looks like:
CPU1 CPU2
try_to_free_pages
do_try_to_free_pages
shrink_zones
shrink_node
mem_cgroup_iter()
if (!root)
root = root_mem_cgroup;
...
css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &root->css);
memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
cmpxchg(&iter->position, pos, memcg);
invalidate_reclaim_iterators(memcg);
...
__mem_cgroup_free()
kfree(memcg);
try_to_free_pages
do_try_to_free_pages
shrink_zones
shrink_node
mem_cgroup_iter()
if (!root)
root = root_mem_cgroup;
...
mz = mem_cgroup_nodeinfo(root, reclaim->pgdat->node_id);
iter = &mz->iter[reclaim->priority];
pos = READ_ONCE(iter->position);
css_tryget(&pos->css) <- use after free
To avoid this, we should also invalidate root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter
in invalidate_reclaim_iterators().

The constraint from the zpool use of z3fold_destroy_pool() is there are
no outstanding handles to memory (so no active allocations), but it is
possible for there to be outstanding work on either of the two wqs in
the pool.
Calling z3fold_deregister_migration() before the workqueues are drained
means that there can be allocated pages referencing a freed inode,
causing any thread in compaction to be able to trip over the bad pointer
in PageMovable().

If there is work queued on pool->compact_workqueue when it is called,

z3fold_destroy_pool()
destroy_workqueue(pool->release_wq)

So compact_wq needs to be destroyed before release_wq.

{

}
Actually the test does:
mmap(0x20000000, 16777216, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x20000000
socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 768) = 3
setsockopt(3, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TX_RING, {block_size=65536, block_nr=1, frame_size=50464, frame_nr=1}, 16) = 0
mmap(0x20fed000, 65536, PROT_NONE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED|MAP_POPULATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x20fed000
mbind(..., MPOL_MF_STRICT|MPOL_MF_MOVE) = 0
The setsockopt() would allocate compound pages (16 pages in this test)
for packet tx ring, then the mmap() would call packet_mmap() to map the
pages into the user address space specified by the mmap() call.
When calling mbind(), it would scan the vma to queue the pages for
migration to the new node. It would split any huge page since 4.9
doesn't support THP migration, however, the packet tx ring compound
pages are not THP and even not movable. So, the above bug is triggered.
However, the later kernel is not hit by this issue due to commit
d44d363f6578 ("mm: don't assume anonymous pages have SwapBacked flag"),
which just removes the PageSwapBacked check for a different reason.
But, there is a deeper issue. According to the semantic of mbind(), it
should return -EIO if MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL was specified and
MPOL_MF_STRICT was also specified, but the kernel was unable to move all
existing pages in the range. The tx ring of the packet socket is
definitely not movable, however, mbind() returns success for this case.
Although the most socket file associates with non-movable pages, but XDP
may have movable pages from gup. So, it sounds not fine to just check
the underlying file type of vma in vma_migratable().
Change migrate_page_add() to check if the page is movable or not, if it
is unmovable, just return -EIO. But do not abort pte walk immediately,
since there may be pages off LRU temporarily. We should migrate other
pages if MPOL_MF_MOVE* is specified. Set has_unmovable flag if some
paged could not be not moved, then return -EIO for mbind() eventually.
With this change the above test would return -EIO as expected.

MPOL_MF_STRICT were specified
When both MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT was specified, mbind() should
try best to migrate misplaced pages, if some of the pages could not be
migrated, then return -EIO.
There are three different sub-cases:
1. vma is not migratable
2. vma is migratable, but there are unmovable pages
3. vma is migratable, pages are movable, but migrate_pages() fails
If #1 happens, kernel would just abort immediately, then return -EIO,
after a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when
MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified").
If #3 happens, kernel would set policy and migrate pages with
best-effort, but won't rollback the migrated pages and reset the policy
back.
Before that commit, they behaves in the same way. It'd better to keep
their behavior consistent. But, rolling back the migrated pages and
resetting the policy back sounds not feasible, so just make #1 behave as
same as #3.
Userspace will know that not everything was successfully migrated (via
-EIO), and can take whatever steps it deems necessary - attempt
rollback, determine which exact page(s) are violating the policy, etc.
Make queue_pages_range() return 1 to indicate there are unmovable pages
or vma is not migratable.
The #2 is not handled correctly in the current kernel, the following
patch will fix it.

When migrating an anonymous private page to a ZONE_DEVICE private page,
the source page->mapping and page->index fields are copied to the
destination ZONE_DEVICE struct page and the page_mapcount() is
increased. This is so rmap_walk() can be used to unmap and migrate the
page back to system memory.
However, try_to_unmap_one() computes the subpage pointer from a swap pte
which computes an invalid page pointer and a kernel panic results such
as:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffea1fffffffc8
Currently, only single pages can be migrated to device private memory so
no subpage computation is needed and it can be set to "page".

When a ZONE_DEVICE private page is freed, the page->mapping field can be
set. If this page is reused as an anonymous page, the previous value
can prevent the page from being inserted into the CPU's anon rmap table.
For example, when migrating a pte_none() page to device memory:
migrate_vma(ops, vma, start, end, src, dst, private)
migrate_vma_collect()
src[] = MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE
migrate_vma_prepare()
/* no page to lock or isolate so OK */
migrate_vma_unmap()
/* no page to unmap so OK */
ops->alloc_and_copy()
/* driver allocates ZONE_DEVICE page for dst[] */
migrate_vma_pages()
migrate_vma_insert_page()
page_add_new_anon_rmap()
__page_set_anon_rmap()
/* This check sees the page's stale mapping field */
if (PageAnon(page))
return
/* page->mapping is not updated */
The result is that the migration appears to succeed but a subsequent CPU
fault will be unable to migrate the page back to system memory or worse.
Clear the page->mapping field when freeing the ZONE_DEVICE page so stale
pointer data doesn't affect future page use.

Given that the setup path initializes pgmap->ref, arrange for it to be
also torn down so devm_memremap_pages() is ready to be called again and
not be mistaken for the 3rd-party per-cpu-ref case.

memremap.c implements MM functionality for ZONE_DEVICE, so it really
should be in the mm/ directory, not the kernel/ one.

When CONFIG_MIGRATE_VMA_HELPER is enabled, migrate_vma() calls
migrate_vma_collect() which initializes a struct mm_walk but didn't
initialize mm_walk.pud_entry. (Found by code inspection) Use a C
structure initialization to make sure it is set to NULL.

"howaboutsynergy" reported via kernel buzilla number 204165 that
compact_zone_order was consuming 100% CPU during a stress test for
prolonged periods of time. Specifically the following command, which
should exit in 10 seconds, was taking an excessive time to finish while
the CPU was pegged at 100%.
stress -m 220 --vm-bytes 1000000000 --timeout 10
Tracing indicated a pattern as follows

Note that compaction is entered in rapid succession while scanning and
isolating nothing. The problem is that when a task that is compacting
receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting
while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending.
It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on
the basis that the timing is altered. A very small window has to be hit
for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and
isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX).
This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30%
zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng
implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits).
Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short
window. With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed
normally instead of consuming CPU.
This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit
cf66f0700c8f ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as
contention"). Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then
locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.
