mm: simplify try_to_unuse

2022-01-22T06:33:38+00:00

Remove the unused frontswap and pages_to_unuse arguments, and mark the
function static now that the caller in frontswap is gone.

mm: drop node from alloc_pages_vma

2022-01-15T14:30:29+00:00

alloc_pages_vma is meant to allocate a page with a vma specific memory
policy.  The initial node parameter is always a local node so it is
pointless to waste a function argument for this.  Drop the parameter.

shmem: fix a race between shmem_unused_huge_shrink and shmem_evict_inode

2022-01-15T14:30:26+00:00

Fix a data race in commit 779750d20b93 ("shmem: split huge pages beyond
i_size under memory pressure").

Here are call traces causing race:

   Call Trace 1:
     shmem_unused_huge_shrink+0x3ae/0x410
     ? __list_lru_walk_one.isra.5+0x33/0x160
     super_cache_scan+0x17c/0x190
     shrink_slab.part.55+0x1ef/0x3f0
     shrink_node+0x10e/0x330
     kswapd+0x380/0x740
     kthread+0xfc/0x130
     ? mem_cgroup_shrink_node+0x170/0x170
     ? kthread_create_on_node+0x70/0x70
     ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

   Call Trace 2:
     shmem_evict_inode+0xd8/0x190
     evict+0xbe/0x1c0
     do_unlinkat+0x137/0x330
     do_syscall_64+0x76/0x120
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

A simple explanation:

Image there are 3 items in the local list (@list).  In the first
traversal, A is not deleted from @list.

  1)    A->B->C
        ^
        |
        pos (leave)

In the second traversal, B is deleted from @list.  Concurrently, A is
deleted from @list through shmem_evict_inode() since last reference
counter of inode is dropped by other thread.  Then the @list is corrupted.

  2)    A->B->C
        ^  ^
        |  |
     evict pos (drop)

We should make sure the inode is either on the global list or deleted from
any local list before iput().

Fixed by moving inodes back to global list before we put them.

mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens

2022-01-15T14:30:26+00:00

The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache
regardless of dirty or clean.  If the page is dirty the later access
will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the
users.  This may cause silent data loss.  It is even worse for shmem
since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means
discarding data blocks.  The later read would return all zero.

The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any
later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault,
until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed.  The regular
storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is
focused on shmem.  This also unblock the support for soft offlining
shmem THP.

mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache

2022-01-08T05:28:41+00:00

We currently store large folios as 2^N consecutive entries.  While this
consumes rather more memory than necessary, it also turns out to be buggy.
A writeback operation which starts within a tail page of a dirty folio will
not write back the folio as the xarray's dirty bit is only set on the
head index.  With multi-index entries, the dirty bit will be found no
matter where in the folio the operation starts.

This does end up simplifying the page cache slightly, although not as
much as I had hoped.

truncate,shmem: Handle truncates that split large folios

2022-01-08T05:28:41+00:00

Handle folio splitting in the parts of the truncation functions which
already handle partial pages.  Factor all that code out into a new
function called truncate_inode_partial_folio().

mm: Convert find_lock_entries() to use a folio_batch

2022-01-08T05:28:41+00:00

find_lock_entries() already only returned the head page of folios, so
convert it to return a folio_batch instead of a pagevec.  That cascades
through converting truncate_inode_pages_range() to
delete_from_page_cache_batch() and page_cache_delete_batch().

The callers have all been converted to work on folios, so convert

truncate,shmem: Add truncate_inode_folio()

2022-01-08T05:28:41+00:00

Convert all callers of truncate_inode_page() to call
truncate_inode_folio() instead, and move the declaration to mm/internal.h.
Move the assertion that the caller is not passing in a tail page to
generic_error_remove_page().  We can't entirely remove the struct page
from the callers yet because the page pointer in the pvec might be a
shadow/dax/swap entry instead of actually a page.
