Subject: mm/hugetlb: restore the reservation if needed
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2024 11:18:41 -0800
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation", v2.
This is a fix for a case where a backing huge page could stolen after
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
A full reproducer is in selftest. See
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240105155419.1939484-1-leitao@xxxxxxxxxx/
In order to test this patch, I instrumented the kernel with LOCKDEP and
KASAN, and run the following tests, without any regression:
* The self test that reproduces the problem
* All mm hugetlb selftests
SUMMARY: PASS=9 SKIP=0 FAIL=0
* All libhugetlbfs tests
PASS: 0 86
FAIL: 0 0
This patch (of 2):
Currently there is a bug that a huge page could be stolen, and when the
original owner tries to fault in it, it causes a page fault.
You can achieve that by:
1) Creating a single page
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
2) mmap() the page above with MAP_HUGETLB into (void *ptr1).
* This will mark the page as reserved
3) touch the page, which causes a page fault and allocates the page
* This will move the page out of the free list.
* It will also unreserved the page, since there is no more free
page
4) madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the page
* This will free the page, but not mark it as reserved.
5) Allocate a secondary page with mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) into (void *ptr2).
* it should fail, but, since there is no more available page.
* But, since the page above is not reserved, this mmap() succeed.
6) Faulting at ptr1 will cause a SIGBUS
* it will try to allocate a huge page, but there is none
available
A full reproducer is in selftest. See
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240105155419.1939484-1-leitao@xxxxxxxxxx/
Fix this by restoring the reserved page if necessary.
These are the condition for the page restore:
* The system is not using surplus pages. The goal is to reduce the
surplus usage for this case.
* If the VMA has the HPAGE_RESV_OWNER flag set, and is PRIVATE. This is
safely checked using __vma_private_lock()
* The page is anonymous
Once this is scenario is found, set the `hugetlb_restore_reserve` bit in
the folio. Then check if the resv reservations need to be adjusted
later, done later, after the spinlock, since the vma_xxxx_reservation()
might touch the file system lock.
