2016-02-03mm: retire GUP WARN_ON_ONCE that outlived its usefulnessHugh Dickins
Trinity is now hitting the WARN_ON_ONCE we added in v3.15 commit cda540ace6a1 ("mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse to COW in shared areas"). The warning has served its purpose, nobody was harmed by that change, so just remove the warning to generate less noise from Trinity. Which reminds me of the comment I wrongly left behind with that commit (but was spotted at the time by Kirill), which has since moved into a separate function, and become even more obscure: delete it.

2016-01-31mm: fix pfn_t to page conversion in vm_insert_mixedDan Williams
pfn_t_to_page() honors the flags in the pfn_t value to determine if a pfn is backed by a page. However, vm_insert_mixed() was originally written to use pfn_valid() to make this determination. To restore the old/correct behavior, ignore the pfn_t flags in the !pfn_t_devmap() case and fallback to trusting pfn_valid().

2016-01-21mm: free swap cache aggressively if memcg swap is fullVladimir Davydov
Swap cache pages are freed aggressively if swap is nearly full (>50% currently), because otherwise we are likely to stop scanning anonymous when we near the swap limit even if there is plenty of freeable swap cache pages. We should follow the same trend in case of memory cgroup, which has its own swap limit.

2016-01-16mm, dax: dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmdDan Williams
A dax-huge-page mapping while it uses some thp helpers is ultimately not a transparent huge page. The distinction is especially important in the get_user_pages() path. pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds from pmd_huge() and pmd_trans_huge() which have slightly different semantics. Explicitly mark the pmd_trans_huge() helpers that dax needs by adding pmd_devmap() checks.

2016-01-16thp: allow mlocked THP againKirill A. Shutemov
Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transferred to small pages. With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with this scenario: 1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA. 2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP: - the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED; - huge PMD split into PTE table; - THP is still mlocked; 3. split_huge_page(): - it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA. We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I think we have accounting issue already on step two. Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd(). This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect unevictable small pages and mlock them. With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-16mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPsKirill A. Shutemov
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis. Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have now. The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to track PTE mapcount. We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time. Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage. page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page. Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters. It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away. We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page. These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount. This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common cases.

2016-01-16thp, mlock: do not allow huge pages in mlocked areaKirill A. Shutemov
With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs. This makes tricky to track THP pages, when they partially mlocked. It can lead to leaking mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems. With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas. I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep them on normal LRUs. This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED vmas. But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside. We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for now.

2016-01-16memcg: adjust to support new THP refcountingKirill A. Shutemov
As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or PTE. We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page. The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This should be good enough. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-15mm: allow GFP_{FS,IO} for page_cache_read page cache allocationMichal Hocko
page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to allocate a new page. This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is called from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault. This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally. ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim. There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used. The GFP_NOFS protection might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure is propagated up the page fault path and end up in pagefault_out_of_memory. We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different allocation context. Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO) because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have to respect those.

2016-01-15mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accountingJerome Marchand
Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory use is quite different. The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with regular files. As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces, this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES. The next patch will expose it to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was used before. The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

2015-09-08dax: fix race between simultaneous faultsMatthew Wilcox
If two threads write-fault on the same hole at the same time, the winner of the race will return to userspace and complete their store, only to have the loser overwrite their store with zeroes. Fix this for now by taking the i_mmap_sem for write instead of read, and do so outside the call to get_block(). Now the loser of the race will see the block has already been zeroed, and will not zero it again. This severely limits our scalability. I have ideas for improving it, but those can wait for a later patch.

2015-09-08mm: introduce vma_is_anonymous(vma) helperOleg Nesterov
special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken. It seems it was always wrong, but this didn't matter until vdso/vvar started to use more than one page. And after this change vma_is_anonymous() becomes really trivial, it simply checks vm_ops == NULL. However, I do think the helper makes sense. There are a lot of ->vm_ops != NULL checks, the helper makes the caller's code more understandable (self-documented) and this is more grep-friendly. This patch (of 3): Preparation. Add the new simple helper, vma_is_anonymous(vma), and change handle_pte_fault() to use it. It will have more users. The name is not accurate, say a hpet_mmap()'ed vma is not anonymous. Perhaps it should be named vma_has_fault() instead. But it matches the logic in mmap.c/memory.c (see next changes). "True" just means that a page fault will use do_anonymous_page().

2015-07-09mm: avoid setting up anonymous pages into file mappingKirill A. Shutemov
Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with do_anonymous_page(). Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not shared. For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops, page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-06-25mm, memcg: Try charging a page before setting page up to dateMel Gorman
Historically memcg overhead was high even if memcg was unused. This has improved a lot but it still showed up in a profile summary as being a problem. /usr/src/linux-4.0-vanilla/mm/memcontrol.c 6.6441 395842 mem_cgroup_try_charge 2.950% 175781 __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.431% 85239 mem_cgroup_page_lruvec 0.456% 27156 mem_cgroup_commit_charge 0.392% 23342 uncharge_list 0.323% 19256 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size 0.278% 16538 memcg_check_events 0.216% 12858 mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.188% 11172 try_charge 0.150% 8928 commit_charge 0.141% 8388 get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.121% 7184 That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge. The annotation shows that the bulk of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot but is very expensive. The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate is called just before the check which is a write barrier. It is required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace. memcg charging does not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so this patch attempts the charging before the barrier. Aside from the accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is avoided if the page cannot be charged. When applied the relevant profile summary is as follows. /usr/src/linux-4.0-chargefirst-v2r1/mm/memcontrol.c 3.7907 223277 __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.143% 67312 mem_cgroup_page_lruvec 0.465% 27403 mem_cgroup_commit_charge 0.381% 22452 uncharge_list 0.332% 19543 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size 0.284% 16704 get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.271% 15952 mem_cgroup_try_charge 0.237% 13982 memcg_check_events 0.222% 13058 mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.185% 10920 commit_charge 0.140% 8235 try_charge 0.131% 7716 That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement.

2015-05-19sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with ↵David Hildenbrand
disabled pagefaults Commit 662bbcb2747c ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access code (that uses might_fault()). The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the following scenario: pagefault_disable() rc = copy_to_user(...) pagefault_enable() Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not sleep and return an error code if a page is not available. However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed, CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario: spin_lock(&lock); rc = copy_to_user(...) spin_unlock(&lock) If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable() will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would correctly never sleep on user access. However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP (with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler could sleep. We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks. Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off. As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish whether user acces functions might sleep. Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

2015-04-15mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAPBoaz Harrosh
This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.

2015-04-14mm: refactor do_wp_page, extract the reuse caseShachar Raindel
Currently do_wp_page contains 265 code lines. It also contains 9 goto statements, of which 5 are targeting labels which are not cleanup related. This makes the function extremely difficult to understand. The following patches are an attempt at breaking the function to its basic components, and making it easier to understand. The patches are straight forward function extractions from do_wp_page. As we extract functions, we remove unneeded parameters and simplify the code as much as possible. However, the functionality is supposed to remain completely unchanged. The patches also attempt to document the functionality of each extracted function. In patch 2, we split the unlock logic to the contain logic relevant to specific needs of each use case, instead of having huge number of conditional decisions in a single unlock flow. This patch (of 4): When do_wp_page is ending, in several cases it needs to reuse the existing page. This is achieved by making the page table writable, and possibly updating the page-cache state. Currently, this logic was "called" by using a goto jump. This makes following the control flow of the function harder. It is also against the coding style guidelines for using goto. As the code can easily be refactored into a specialized function, refactor it out and simplify the code flow in do_wp_page.

Perf points straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config: - 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi smp_call_function_many - native_flush_tlb_others - 99.85% flush_tlb_page ptep_clear_flush try_to_unmap_one rmap_walk try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page - handle_mm_fault - 99.73% __do_page_fault trace_do_page_fault do_async_page_fault + async_page_fault 0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi generic_exec_single smp_call_function_single This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and slows the PTE scanner.

2015-03-25mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting faultMel Gorman
Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set the writable bit again. This patch preserves the writable bit when trapping NUMA hinting faults. The impact is obvious from the number of minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system CPU usage; autonumabench 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve Time System-NUMA01 107.13 ( 0.00%) 103.13 ( 3.73%) Time System-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 131.87 ( 0.00%) 83.30 ( 36.83%) Time System-NUMA02 8.95 ( 0.00%) 10.72 (-19.78%) Time System-NUMA02_SMT 4.57 ( 0.00%) 3.99 ( 12.69%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01 515.78 ( 0.00%) 517.26 ( -0.29%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 384.10 ( 0.00%) 384.31 ( -0.05%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02 48.86 ( 0.00%) 48.78 ( 0.16%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02_SMT 47.98 ( 0.00%) 48.12 ( -0.29%) 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve User 44383.95 43971.89 System 252.61 201.24 Elapsed 998.68 1000.94 Minor Faults 2597249 1981230 Major Faults 365 364 There is a similar drop in system CPU usage using Dave Chinner's xfsrepair workload 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 baseline preserve Amean real-xfsrepair 454.14 ( 0.00%) 442.36 ( 2.60%) Amean syst-xfsrepair 277.20 ( 0.00%) 204.68 ( 26.16%) The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was discarded.

These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226. Much of the problem was reduced by commit 53da3bc2ba9e ("mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic") and commit ba68bc0115eb ("mm: thp: Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd"). It was known that the performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe. This series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety.

This patch (of 3): Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as related tasks. This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update and when the application writes the page. If the page is file-backed, then background flushes and sync also affect placement. This is unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

2015-03-12mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logicLinus Torvalds
Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d9424669946 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down his xfsrepair test enormously. In particular, it was using more system time due to extra TLB flushing. The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic. The old special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections. That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table entries also change. And the code to decide how to group the NUMA entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular page was likely to be shared read-only or not. And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for private mappings due to COW. So even if the page actually ends up being written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always shared RO. This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable. The bit doesn't change with protection changes. NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue, Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the NUMA fault handling some more. For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault does. Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA faulting. Those are bigger questions, left for later. This just fixes up the heuristic so that it at least approximates working again. More analysis and work needed.

2015-02-17mm: allow page fault handlers to perform the COWMatthew Wilcox
Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow the handler to perform the COW operation itself. The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

2015-02-17mm: fix XIP fault vs truncate raceMatthew Wilcox
DAX is a replacement for the variation of XIP currently supported by the ext2 filesystem. We have three different things in the tree called 'XIP', and the new focus is on access to data rather than executables, so a name change was in order. DAX stands for Direct Access. The X is for eXciting. The new focus on data access has resulted in more careful attention to races that exist in the current XIP code, but are not hit by the use-case that it was designed for. XIP's architecture worked fine for ext2, but DAX is architected to work with modern filsystems such as ext4 and XFS. DAX is not intended for use with btrfs; the value that btrfs adds relies on manipulating data and writing data to different locations, while DAX's value is for write-in-place and keeping the kernel from touching the data. DAX was developed in order to support NV-DIMMs, but it's become clear that its usefuless extends beyond NV-DIMMs and there are several potential customers including the tracing machinery. Other people want to place the kernel log in an area of memory, as long as they have a BIOS that does not clear DRAM on reboot. Patch 1 is a bug fix, probably worth including in 3.18. Patches 2 & 3 are infrastructure for DAX. Patches 4-8 replace the XIP code with its DAX equivalents, transforming ext2 to use the DAX code as we go. Note that patch 10 is the Documentation patch. Patches 9-15 clean up after the XIP code, removing the infrastructure that is no longer needed and renaming various XIP things to DAX. Most of these patches were added after Jan found things he didn't like in an earlier version of the ext4 patch ... that had been copied from ext2. So ext2 i being transformed to do things the same way that ext4 will later. The ability to mount ext2 filesystems with the 'xip' option is retained, although the 'dax' option is now preferred. Patch 16 adds some DAX infrastructure to support ext4. Patch 17 adds DAX support to ext4. It is broadly similar to ext2's DAX support, but it is more efficient than ext4's due to its support for unwritten extents. Patch 18 is another cleanup patch renaming XIP to DAX. My thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for his reviews of the v11 patchset. Most of the changes below were based on his feedback. This patch (of 18): Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that the fault didn't race against a truncate. We don't have a page to lock in the XIP case, so use i_mmap_lock_read() instead. It is locked in the truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size. So while we hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we have just inserted. There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before the thread's access to it is revoked.

2015-02-13mm/memory.c: actually remap enough memoryGrazvydas Ignotas
For whatever reason, generic_access_phys() only remaps one page, but actually allows to access arbitrary size. It's quite easy to trigger large reads, like printing out large structure with gdb, which leads to a crash. Fix it by remapping correct size.

2015-02-13mm: numa: add paranoid check around pte_protnone_numaMel Gorman
pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are complete. Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going to result in strangeness so add a check for it. BUG_ON looks like overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in corruption so do not even try recovering. It would have been more comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have made the API ugly just for a debugging check.

2015-02-13mm: numa: do not trap faults on the huge zero pageMel Gorman
Faults on the huge zero page are pointless and there is a BUG_ON to catch them during fault time. This patch reintroduces a check that avoids marking the zero page PAGE_NONE.
