The warning happened as follow. In copy_args_to_argbuf(), virtiofs uses
kmalloc-ed memory as bound buffer for fuse args, but
fuse_get_user_pages() only limits the length of fuse arg by max_read or
max_write for IOV_KVEC io (e.g., kernel_read_file from finit_module()).
For virtiofs, max_read is UINT_MAX, so a big read request which is about
I find this part of the explanation a bit confusing. I guess you
wanted to write something like
fuse_direct_io() -> fuse_get_user_pages() is limited by
fc->max_write/fc->max_read and fc->max_pages. For virtiofs max_pages
does not apply as ITER_KVEC is used. As virtiofs sets fc->max_read to
UINT_MAX basically no limit is applied at all.
Yes, what you said is just as expected but it is not the root cause of
the warning. The culprit of the warning is kmalloc() in
copy_args_to_argbuf() just as said in commit message. vmalloc() is also
not acceptable, because the physical memory needs to be contiguous. For
the problem, because there is no page involved, so there will be extra
sg available, maybe we can use these sg to break the big read/write
request into page.
Hmm ok, I was hoping that contiguous memory is not needed.
I see that ENOMEM is handled, but how that that perform (or even
complete) on a really badly fragmented system? I guess splitting into
smaller pages or at least adding some reserve kmem_cache (or even
mempool) would make sense?
I also wonder if it wouldn't it make sense to set a sensible limit in
virtio_fs_ctx_set_defaults() instead of introducing a new variable?
As said in the commit message:
A feasible solution is to limit the value of max_read for virtiofs, so
the length passed to kmalloc() will be limited. However it will affects
the max read size for ITER_IOVEC io and the value of max_write also needs
limitation.
It is a bit hard to set a reasonable value for both max_read and
max_write to handle both normal ITER_IOVEC io and ITER_KVEC io. And
considering ITER_KVEC io + dio case is uncommon, I think using a new
limitation is more reasonable.
For ITER_IOVEC max_pages applies - which is limited to
FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES - why can't this be used in virtio_fs_ctx_set_defaults?
@Miklos, is there a reason why there is no upper fc->max_{read,write}
limit in process_init_reply()? Shouldn't both be limited to
(FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE). Or any other reasonable limit?
Thanks,
Bernd
Also, I guess the issue is kmalloc_array() in virtio_fs_enqueue_req?
Wouldn't it make sense to use kvm_alloc_array/kvfree in that function?
Thanks,
Bernd
10MB is passed to copy_args_to_argbuf(), kmalloc() is called in turn
with len=10MB, and triggers the warning in __alloc_pages():
WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_ORDER, gfp)).
A feasible solution is to limit the value of max_read for virtiofs, so
the length passed to kmalloc() will be limited. However it will affects
the max read size for ITER_IOVEC io and the value of max_write also
needs
limitation. So instead of limiting the values of max_read and max_write,
introducing max_nopage_rw to cap both the values of max_read and
max_write when the fuse dio read/write request is initiated from kernel.
Considering that fuse read/write request from kernel is uncommon and to
decrease the demand for large contiguous pages, set max_nopage_rw as
256KB instead of KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE - 4096 or similar.
