[PATCH stable 4.4 0/4] mm: workingset backports

[Michal Hocko]

Hi,
here is the backport of (hopefully) all workingset related fixes for
4.4 kernel. The series has been reviewed by Johannes [1]. The main
motivation for the backport is 22f2ac51b6d6 ("mm: workingset: fix crash
in shadow node shrinker caused by replace_page_cache_page()") which is
a fix for a triggered BUG_ON. This is not sufficient because there are
follow up fixes which were introduced later.

[PATCH stable 4.4 1/4] mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker caused by replace_page_cache_page()

[Michal Hocko]

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>

Commit 22f2ac51b6d643666f4db093f13144f773ff3f3a upstream.

Antonio reports the following crash when using fuse under memory pressure:

  kernel BUG at /build/linux-a2WvEb/linux-4.4.0/mm/workingset.c:346!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
  Modules linked in: all of them

    kswapd+0x51e/0x990

    ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

[PATCH stable 4.4 2/4] mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node

[Michal Hocko]

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>

commit d3798ae8c6f3767c726403c2ca6ecc317752c9dd upstream.

When the underflow checks were added to workingset_node_shadow_dec(),
they triggered immediately:

  RIP  page_cache_tree_insert+0xf1/0x100

This is a long-standing bug in the way shadow entries are accounted in
the radix tree nodes. The shrinker needs to know when radix tree nodes
contain only shadow entries, no pages, so node->count is split in half
to count shadows in the upper bits and pages in the lower bits.

Unfortunately, the radix tree implementation doesn't know of this and
assumes all entries are in node->count. When there is a shadow entry
directly in root->rnode and the tree is later extended, the radix tree
implementation will copy that entry into the new node and and bump its
node->count, i.e. increases the page count bits. Once the shadow gets
removed and we subtract from the upper counter, node->count underflows
and triggers the warning. Afterwards, without node->count reaching 0
again, the radix tree node is leaked.

Limit shadow entries to when we have actual radix tree nodes and can
count them properly. That means we lose the ability to detect refaults
from files that had only the first page faulted in at eviction time.

Sorry about that, I had applied it earlier in the sequence due to it

[PATCH stable 4.4 3/4] mm: filemap: fix mapping->nrpages double accounting in fuse

[Michal Hocko]

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>

Commit 3ddf40e8c31964b744ff10abb48c8e36a83ec6e7 upstream.

Commit 22f2ac51b6d6 ("mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker
caused by replace_page_cache_page()") switched replace_page_cache() from
raw radix tree operations to page_cache_tree_insert() but didn't take
into account that the latter function, unlike the raw radix tree op,
handles mapping->nrpages.  As a result, that counter is bumped for each
page replacement rather than balanced out even.

The mapping->nrpages counter is used to skip needless radix tree walks
when invalidating, truncating, syncing inodes without pages, as well as
statistics for userspace.  Since the error is positive, we'll do more
page cache tree walks than necessary; we won't miss a necessary one.
And we'll report more buffer pages to userspace than there are.  The
error is limited to fuse inodes.

[PATCH stable 4.4 4/4] Using BUG_ON() as an assert() is _never_ acceptable

[Michal Hocko]

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 21f54ddae449f4bdd9f1498124901d67202243d9 upstream.

That just generally kills the machine, and makes debugging only much
harder, since the traces may long be gone.

Debugging by assert() is a disease.  Don't do it.  If you can continue,
you're much better off doing so with a live machine where you have a
much higher chance that the report actually makes it to the system logs,
rather than result in a machine that is just completely dead.

The only valid situation for BUG_ON() is when continuing is not an
option, because there is massive corruption.  But if you are just
verifying that something is true, you warn about your broken assumptions
(preferably just once), and limp on.
