* mm, vmalloc: remove insert_vmalloc_vm()Zhang Yanfei2013-07-031-7/+0

* mm, vmalloc: only call setup_vmalloc_vm() only in __get_vm_area_node()Zhang Yanfei2013-07-031-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now for insert_vmalloc_vm, it only calls the two functions: - setup_vmalloc_vm: fill vm_struct and vmap_area instances - clear_vm_unlist: clear VM_UNLIST bit in vm_struct->flags So in __get_vm_area_node(), if VM_UNLIST bit unset in flags, that is the else branch here, we don't need to clear VM_UNLIST bit for vm->flags since this bit is obviously not set. That is to say, we could only call setup_vmalloc_vm instead of insert_vmalloc_vm here. And then we could even remove the if test here.

* vmalloc: introduce remap_vmalloc_range_partialHATAYAMA Daisuke2013-07-031-22/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF note segment that exceeds 11-order block size. Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space range via vma. Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so the interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic. This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on /proc/vmcore case. remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

* vmalloc: make find_vm_area check in rangeHATAYAMA Daisuke2013-07-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, __find_vmap_area searches for the kernel VM area starting at a given address. This patch changes this behavior so that it searches for the kernel VM area to which the address belongs. This change is needed by remap_vmalloc_range_partial to be introduced in later patch that receives any position of kernel VM area as target address. This patch changes the condition (addr > va->va_start) to the equivalent (addr >= va->va_end) by taking advantage of the fact that each kernel VM area is non-overlapping.

* | kexec, vmalloc: export additional vmalloc layer informationAtsushi Kumagai2013-04-291-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, vmap_area_list is exported as VMCOREINFO for makedumpfile to get the start address of vmalloc region (vmalloc_start).

So this patch exports them externally with small cleanup.

* | mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist, in vmallocinfo()Joonsoo Kim2013-04-291-13/+42

For above purpose, we change iterating a vmap_list codes to iterating a vmap_area_list. It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing should be noticed. Using vmap_area_list in vmallocinfo() introduce ordering problem in SMP system. In s_show(), we retrieve some values from vm_struct. vm_struct's values is not fully setup when va->vm is assigned. Full setup is notified by removing VM_UNLIST flag without holding a lock. When we see that VM_UNLIST is removed, it is not ensured that vm_struct has proper values in view of other CPUs. So we need smp_[rw]mb for ensuring that proper values is assigned when we see that VM_UNLIST is removed. Therefore, this patch not only change a iteration list, but also add a appropriate smp_[rw]mb to right places.

* | mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list in get_vmalloc_info()Joonsoo Kim2013-04-291-26/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a preparatory step for removing vmlist entirely. For above purpose, we change iterating a vmap_list codes to iterating a vmap_area_list. It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing should be noticed. vmlist is lack of information about some areas in vmalloc address space. For example, vm_map_ram() allocate area in vmalloc address space, but it doesn't make a link with vmlist. To provide full information about vmalloc address space is better idea, so we don't use va->vm and use vmap_area directly. This makes get_vmalloc_info() more precise.

* | mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist in vread/vwrite()Joonsoo Kim2013-04-291-16/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, when we hold a vmap_area_lock, va->vm can't be discarded. So we can safely access to va->vm when iterating a vmap_area_list with holding a vmap_area_lock. With this property, change iterating vmlist codes in vread/vwrite() to iterating vmap_area_list. There is a little difference relate to lock, because vmlist_lock is mutex, but, vmap_area_lock is spin_lock. It may introduce a spinning overhead during vread/vwrite() is executing. But, these are debug-oriented functions, so this overhead is not real problem for common case.

* | mm, vmalloc: protect va->vm by vmap_area_lockJoonsoo Kim2013-04-291-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inserting and removing an entry to vmlist is linear time complexity, so it is inefficient. Following patches will try to remove vmlist entirely. This patch is preparing step for it. For removing vmlist, iterating vmlist codes should be changed to iterating a vmap_area_list. Before implementing that, we should make sure that when we iterate a vmap_area_list, accessing to va->vm doesn't cause a race condition. This patch ensure that when iterating a vmap_area_list, there is no race condition for accessing to vm_struct.

Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within __insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk. Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and rounds for hours.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes dma-mapping subsystem to use generic vmalloc areas for all consistent dma allocations. This increases the total size limit of the consistent allocations and removes platform hacks and a lot of duplicated code. Atomic allocations are served from special pool preallocated on boot, because vmalloc areas cannot be reliably created in atomic context.

* mm: fix faulty initialization in vmalloc_init()KyongHo2012-05-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The transfer of ->flags causes some of the static mapping virtual addresses to be prematurely freed (before the mapping is removed) because VM_LAZY_FREE gets "set" if tmp->flags has VM_IOREMAP set. This might cause subsequent vmalloc/ioremap calls to fail because it might allocate one of the freed virtual address ranges that aren't unmapped. va->flags has different types of flags from tmp->flags. If a region with VM_IOREMAP set is registered with vm_area_add_early(), it will be removed by __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). Fix vmalloc_init() to correctly initialize vmap_area for the given vm_struct. Also initialise va->vm. If it is not set, find_vm_area() for the early vm regions will always fail.

However upcoming cleanups in the ARM architecture require that some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved also very early. The name "vm_area_register_early" would have been a good name for the reservation part without the allocation. Since it is already in use with different semantics, let's create vm_area_add_early() instead. Both vm_area_register_early() and vm_area_add_early() can be used together meaning that the former is now implemented using the later where it is ensured that no conflicting areas are added, but no attempt is made to make the allocation scheme in vm_area_register_early() more sophisticated. After all, you must know what you're doing when using those functions.

Unfortunately, it did not check that __vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area. In the event of allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in get_vmalloc_info(). This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within __vmalloc_node_range. It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node() before it called vfree in its failure path.

* mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfoMitsuo Hayasaka2011-10-311-17/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The /proc/vmallocinfo shows information about vmalloc allocations in vmlist that is a linklist of vm_struct. It, however, may access pages field of vm_struct where a page was not allocated. This results in a null pointer access and leads to a kernel panic. Why this happens: In __vmalloc_node_range() called from vmalloc(), newly allocated vm_struct is added to vmlist at __get_vm_area_node() and then, some fields of vm_struct such as nr_pages and pages are set at __vmalloc_area_node(). In other words, it is added to vmlist before it is fully initialized. At the same time, when the /proc/vmallocinfo is read, it accesses the pages field of vm_struct according to the nr_pages field at show_numa_info(). Thus, a null pointer access happens. The patch adds the newly allocated vm_struct to the vmlist *after* it is fully initialized. So, it can avoid accessing the pages field with unallocated page when show_numa_info() is called.

* mm: sync vmalloc address space page tables in alloc_vm_area()David Vrabel2011-09-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Xen backend drivers (e.g., blkback and netback) would sometimes fail to map grant pages into the vmalloc address space allocated with alloc_vm_area(). The GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref would fail because Xen could not find the page (in the L2 table) containing the PTEs it needed to update. (XEN) mm.c:3846:d0 Could not find L1 PTE for address fbb42000 netback and blkback were making the hypercall from a kernel thread where task->active_mm != &init_mm and alloc_vm_area() was only updating the page tables for init_mm. The usual method of deferring the update to the page tables of other processes (i.e., after taking a fault) doesn't work as a fault cannot occur during the hypercall. This would work on some systems depending on what else was using vmalloc. Fix this by reverting ef691947d8a3 ("vmalloc: remove vmalloc_sync_all() from alloc_vm_area()") and add a comment to explain why it's needed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit db64fe02258f ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not set to a power of two. Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption. However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices. To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

Since vmalloc() uses 0-order pages, if somebody asks for an insane amount of memory, we'll still get a warning with "order:0" in it. That's not very useful. During recovery, vmalloc() also nicely frees all of the memory that it got up to the point of the failure. That is wonderful, but it also quickly hides any issues. We have a much different sitation if vmalloc() repeatedly fails 10GB in to: vmalloc(100 * 1<<30); versus repeatedly failing 4096 bytes in to a: vmalloc(8192); This patch will print out messages that look like this: [ 68.123503] vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 6680576 of 13426688 bytes [ 68.124218] bash: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2 [ 68.124811] Pid: 3770, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.39-rc3-00082-g85f2e68-dirty #333 [ 68.125579] Call Trace: [ 68.125853] [<ffffffff810f6da6>] warn_alloc_failed+0x146/0x170 [ 68.126464] [<ffffffff8107e05c>] ? printk+0x6c/0x70 [ 68.126791] [<ffffffff8112b5d4>] ? alloc_pages_current+0x94/0xe0 [ 68.127661] [<ffffffff8111ed37>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x237/0x290 ... The 'order' variable is added for clarity when calling warn_alloc_failed() to avoid having an unexplained '0' as an argument. The 'tmp_mask' is because adding an open-coded '| __GFP_NOWARN' would take us over 80 columns for the alloc_pages_node() call. If we are going to add a line, it might as well be one that makes the sucker easier to read. As a side issue, I also noticed that ctl_ioctl() does vmalloc() based solely on an unverified value passed in from userspace. Granted, it's under CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but it still frightens me a bit.

* | mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocksJohannes Weiner2011-05-251-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vmap allocator is used to, among other things, allocate per-cpu vmap blocks, where each vmap block is naturally aligned to its own size. Obviously, leaving a guard page after each vmap area forbids packing vmap blocks efficiently and can make the kernel run out of possible vmap blocks long before overall vmap space is exhausted. The new interface to map a user-supplied page array into linear vmalloc space (vm_map_ram) insists on allocating from a vmap block (instead of falling back to a custom area) when the area size is below a certain threshold. With heavy users of this interface (e.g. XFS) and limited vmalloc space on 32-bit, vmap block exhaustion is a real problem. Remove the guard page from the core vmap allocator. vmalloc and the old vmap interface enforce a guard page on their own at a higher level. Note that without this patch, we had accidental guard pages after those vm_map_ram areas that happened to be at the end of a vmap block, but not between every area. This patch removes this accidental guard page only. If we want guard pages after every vm_map_ram area, this should be done separately. And just like with vmalloc and the old interface on a different level, not in the core allocator. Mel pointed out: "If necessary, the guard page could be reintroduced as a debugging-only option (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC?). Otherwise it seems reasonable."
