mm/hugetlb: restore the reservation if needed
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@debian.org/ 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@debian.org/ 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.
