From 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:02:27 +0000 Subject: Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

This might cause a double-free of the BTS buffer. Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in ptrace_bts_detach() and leave the buffer free to ptrace_bts_untrace() which will be called from __ptrace_unlink(). The fix follows a proposal from Oleg Nesterov.

Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for __set_page_dirty_no_writeback. So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

And here's what I got: move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00] move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00] move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff] move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0] My memory layout on this box is: [ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges: [ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d [ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node [ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges [ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers the problem. This patch: Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used. I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy. This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h After this, if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c else -> per-arch back end function will be called.
