Subject: [PATCH v3] mlock: fix mlock count can not decrease in race condition
Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 15:07:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1495696023-4732-1-git-send-email-xieyisheng1@huawei.com> (raw)
Kefeng reported that when running the follow test, the mlock count in
meminfo will increases permanently:
[1] testcase
linux:~ # cat test_mlockal
grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
for j in `seq 0 10`
do
for i in `seq 4 15`
do
./p_mlockall >> log &
done
sleep 0.2
done
# wait some time to let mlock counter decrease and 5s may not enough
sleep 5
grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
linux:~ # cat p_mlockall.c
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define SPACE_LEN 4096
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
int ret;
void *adr = malloc(SPACE_LEN);
if (!adr)
return -1;
ret = mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE);
printf("mlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);
ret = munlockall();
printf("munlcokall ret = %d\n", ret);
free(adr);
return 0;
}
In __munlock_pagevec() we should decrement NR_MLOCK for each page where
we clear the PageMlocked flag. Commit 1ebb7cc6a583 ("mm: munlock: batch
NR_MLOCK zone state updates") has introduced a bug where we don't
decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to
isolate them from the lru list (e.g. when the pages are on some other
cpu's percpu pagevec). Since PageMlocked stays cleared, the NR_MLOCK
accounting gets permanently disrupted by this.
Fix it by counting the number of page whoes PageMlock flag is cleared.
Fixes: 1ebb7cc6a583 ("mm: munlock: batch NR_MLOCK zone state updates")

v2:
- use delta_munlocked for it doesn't do the increment in fastpath - Vlastimil
v3:
- change the changelog to make it more clear - Vlastimil
Hi Andrew:
Could you please help to fold this?
Thanks
