Hi, Vladimir By further analysis and realize, Adding following patch , This issue will not reproduce in the VM. I wonder that the issue only exist in the VM. because It is not appearance in the phycial machine before the issue had come. So , I am not sure that the following patch have solved the issue. diff --git a/mm/rmap.c b/mm/rmap.c index 4c545e1..e93d497 100644 --- a/mm/rmap.c +++ b/mm/rmap.c @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ /* - * mm/rmap.c - physical to virtual reverse mappings + +* mm/rmap.c - physical to virtual reverse mappings * * Copyright 2001, Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Released under the General Public License (GPL). @@ -456,6 +456,7 @@ struct anon_vma *page_lock_anon_vma_read(struct page *page) goto out; anon_vma = (struct anon_vma *) (anon_mapping - PAGE_MAPPING_ANON); + BUG_ON(!anon_vma); root_anon_vma = ACCESS_ONCE(anon_vma->root); if (down_read_trylock(&root_anon_vma->rwsem)) { /* @@ -970,7 +971,7 @@ void page_move_anon_rmap(struct page *page, VM_BUG_ON(page->index != linear_page_index(vma, address)); anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON; - page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma; + WRITE_ONCE(page->mapping, (struct address_space *) anon_vma); } /** @@ -999,7 +1000,7 @@ static void __page_set_anon_rmap(struct page *page, anon_vma = anon_vma->root; anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON; - page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma; + WRITE_ONCE(page->mapping, (struct address_space *) anon_vma); page->index = linear_page_index(vma, address); } @@ -1773,7 +1774,7 @@ static void __hugepage_set_anon_rmap(struct page *page, anon_vma = anon_vma->root; anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON; - page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma; + WRITE_ONCE(page->mapping, (struct address_space *) anon_vma); page->index = linear_page_index(vma, address); } Thanks zhongjiang On 2017/3/16 23:32, Vladimir Davydov wrote: > On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 05:09:48PM +0800, zhong jiang wrote: >> On 2017/3/16 16:42, Vladimir Davydov wrote: >>> On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 03:45:34PM +0800, zhong jiang wrote: >>>> Hi, Vladimir >>>> >>>> I find upstream 414e2fb8ce5a ("rmap: fix theoretical race between do_wp_page and shrink_active_list ") >>>> fix the bug maybe is the same as the following issue, but I'm not sure. >>> It looks like in your case shrink_active_list() ran into a page with >>> page->mapping set to PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, which made page_referenced() >>> call page_referenced_anon(), which in turn called >>> page_lock_anon_vma_read(), which hit the bug trying to dereference >>> (page->mapping - PAGE_MAPPING_ANON) = NULL. >> Yes, That is what we think. >>> Theoretically, this could happen if page->mapping was updated >>> non-atomically by page_move_anon_rmap(), which is the case the commit >>> you mentioned fixes.
