From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:08:05 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding in copy_vma() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=948f017b093a9baac23855fcd920d3a970b71bb6;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding in copy_vma() migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on pagetables. That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap PT locks. But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk. If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the dst vma in the same_anon_vma list. That could still lead to migrate missing some pte. This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem. If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole duration of mremap. Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path. This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail: === int main() { static struct timeval oldstamp, newstamp; long diffsec; char *p, *p2, *p3, *p4; if (posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2*1024*1024, SIZE)) perror("memalign"), exit(1); if (posix_memalign((void **)&p2, 2*1024*1024, SIZE)) perror("memalign"), exit(1); if (posix_memalign((void **)&p3, 2*1024*1024, SIZE)) perror("memalign"), exit(1); memset(p, 0xff, SIZE); printf("%p\n", p); memset(p2, 0xff, SIZE); memset(p3, 0x77, 4096); if (memcmp(p, p2, SIZE)) printf("error\n"); p4 = mremap(p+SIZE/2, SIZE/2, SIZE/2, MREMAP_FIXED|MREMAP_MAYMOVE, p3); if (p4 != p3) perror("mremap"), exit(1); p4 = mremap(p4, SIZE/2, SIZE/2, MREMAP_FIXED|MREMAP_MAYMOVE, p+SIZE/2); if (p4 != p+SIZE/2) perror("mremap"), exit(1); if (memcmp(p, p2, SIZE)) printf("error\n"); printf("ok\n"); return 0; } === $ perf probe -a anon_vma_moveto_tail Add new event: probe:anon_vma_moveto_tail (on anon_vma_moveto_tail) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:anon_vma_moveto_tail -aR sleep 1 $ perf record -e probe:anon_vma_moveto_tail -aR ./anon_vma_moveto_tail 0x7f2ca2800000 ok [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.043 MB perf.data (~1860 samples) ] $ perf report --stdio 100.00% anon_vma_moveto [kernel.kallsyms] [k] anon_vma_moveto_tail Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli Reported-by: Nai Xia Acked-by: Mel Gorman Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Pawel Sikora Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/include/linux/rmap.h b/include/linux/rmap.h index 2148b122779b..1afb9954bbf1 100644 --- a/include/linux/rmap.h +++ b/include/linux/rmap.h @@ -120,6 +120,7 @@ void anon_vma_init(void); /* create anon_vma_cachep */ int anon_vma_prepare(struct vm_area_struct *); void unlink_anon_vmas(struct vm_area_struct *); int anon_vma_clone(struct vm_area_struct *, struct vm_area_struct *); +void anon_vma_moveto_tail(struct vm_area_struct *); int anon_vma_fork(struct vm_area_struct *, struct vm_area_struct *); void __anon_vma_link(struct vm_area_struct *); diff --git a/mm/mmap.c b/mm/mmap.c index eae90af60ea6..adea3b8880e3 100644 --- a/mm/mmap.c +++ b/mm/mmap.c @@ -2322,13 +2322,16 @@ struct vm_area_struct *copy_vma(struct vm_area_struct **vmap, struct vm_area_struct *new_vma, *prev; struct rb_node **rb_link, *rb_parent; struct mempolicy *pol; + bool faulted_in_anon_vma = true; /* * If anonymous vma has not yet been faulted, update new pgoff * to match new location, to increase its chance of merging. */ - if (!vma->vm_file && !vma->anon_vma) + if (unlikely(!vma->vm_file && !vma->anon_vma)) { pgoff = addr >> PAGE_SHIFT; + faulted_in_anon_vma = false; + } find_vma_prepare(mm, addr, &prev, &rb_link, &rb_parent); new_vma = vma_merge(mm, prev, addr, addr + len, vma->vm_flags, @@ -2337,9 +2340,24 @@ struct vm_area_struct *copy_vma(struct vm_area_struct **vmap, /* * Source vma may have been merged into new_vma */ - if (vma_start >= new_vma->vm_start && - vma_start < new_vma->vm_end) + if (unlikely(vma_start >= new_vma->vm_start && + vma_start < new_vma->vm_end)) { + /* + * The only way we can get a vma_merge with + * self during an mremap is if the vma hasn't + * been faulted in yet and we were allowed to + * reset the dst vma->vm_pgoff to the + * destination address of the mremap to allow + * the merge to happen. mremap must change the + * vm_pgoff linearity between src and dst vmas + * (in turn preventing a vma_merge) to be + * safe.
