Some further work is needed for my previous solution to be complete. This will provide a fix to the problem while the more complete solution is being worked on. V2: * drop the first patch that will introduce a regression by adding a branch in the hotpath. * Remove the for_each_online_nodes introduced as that will require further work for memcg and hotplug to work correctly. Long term a rework will be needed to either allocate all pgdatas or update all memcgs when a new node is onlined.

Our crash analysis has determined that the issue originates from trying to allocate pages on an offlined node in expand_one_shrinker_info. This function makes the incorrect assumption that we can allocate on any node. To correct this we make sure the node is online before tempting an allocation. If it is not online choose the closest node. This assumption can lead to an incorrect address being assigned to ac->zonelist in the following callchain: __alloc_pages -> prepare_alloc_pages -> node_zonelist static inline struct zonelist *node_zonelist(int nid, gfp_t flags) { return NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists + gfp_zonelist(flags); } if the node is not online the return of node_zonelist will evaluate to a invalid pointer of 0x00000 + offset_of(node_zonelists) + (1|0) This address is then dereferenced further down the callchain in: prepare_alloc_pages -> first_zones_zonelist -> next_zones_zonelist -> zonelist_zone_idx static inline int zonelist_zone_idx(struct zoneref *zoneref) { return zoneref->zone_idx; } Leading the system to panic.

We definitely do not want to spread this node_offline oddity all over the place. There are two different way to approach this. Either we handle node_offline nodes at the page allocator level when setting the proper zonelist (ideally protect that by a static key for setups which have these nodes) or we allocate pgdat for all possible nodes. I would prefer the second because that is more robust (less likely to blow up when somebody does for_each_node(nid) something(NODE_DATA(nid)) The discussion is ongoing at the original thread where Alexey Makhalov reported a similar problem (the subthread is http://lkml.kernel.org/r/Ya89aqij6nMwJrIZ@dhcp22.suse.cz) -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Yeah, it seems more straightforward and more robust to me.

The issue, however, boils down to any iteration like ... for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { struct page *page = alloc_pages_node(cpu_to_node(cpu), gfp, 0); ... where topology allows for possible cpus in yet-to-be-online node to cause node_zonelist() to produce a bogus zonelist pointer when populating ac->zonelist within prepare_alloc_pages(). I just bisected the following commit causing a PPC host to crash at boot, when initializing the cgoup subsystem: commit bd0e7491a931f5a2960555b10b9551464ff8cc8e Author: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Date: Sat May 22 01:59:38 2021 +0200 mm, slub: convert kmem_cpu_slab protection to local_lock The commit, obviously is not responsible for the crash, and the only "sin" committed by commit bd0e7491a93 as far as the crash issue is concerned is to increase the size of struct kmem_cache_cpu size with one local_lock_t, which in the worst case scenario -- !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT && CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC -- will end up creating an overhead of 56 bytes for each kmem_cache_cpu created, burning faster through the bootstrap pre-allocated embedded per-cpu pool. ---8<--- [ 0.001888] BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00001508 [ 0.001900] Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000005277fc [ 0.001905] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [ 0.001909] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries [ 0.001915] Modules linked in: [ 0.001919] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.14.0+ #24 [ 0.001925] NIP: c0000000005277fc LR: c0000000005276d8 CTR: 0000000000000000 [ 0.001930] REGS: c000000002c936d0 TRAP: 0380 Not tainted (5.14.0+) [ 0.001935] MSR: 8000000002009033 <SF,VEC,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 24024222 XER: 00000002 [ 0.001948] CFAR: c0000000005276e0 IRQMASK: 0 [ 0.001948] GPR00: c0000000005276d8 c000000002c93970 c000000002c95500 0000000000001500 [ 0.001948] GPR04: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 0.001948] GPR08: 0000000000000081 0000000000000001 0000000000001500 0000000044024222 [ 0.001948] GPR12: 00000003fa6a0000 c0000000049d0000 0000000000000000 c0000000053f0780 [ 0.001948] GPR16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000008 c000000002cec160 [ 0.001948] GPR20: 0000000000000000 0000000000000cc2 c000000002cf0a30 c000000002cf02c0 [ 0.001948] GPR24: 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 0.001948] GPR28: 0000000000000000 c000000002c939e8 c000000002c939f0 0000000000000000 [ 0.002007] NIP [c0000000005277fc] prepare_alloc_pages.constprop.0+0x20c/0x280 [ 0.002014] LR [c0000000005276d8] prepare_alloc_pages.constprop.0+0xe8/0x280 [ 0.002020] Call Trace: [ 0.002022] [c000000002c93970] [c0000000005276c4] prepare_alloc_pages.constprop.0+0xd4/0x280 (unreliable) [ 0.002030] [c000000002c939c0] [c000000000531270] __alloc_pages+0xb0/0x3b0 [ 0.002036] [c000000002c93a50] [c0000000004cd4d4] pcpu_alloc_pages.constprop.0+0x144/0x2a0 [ 0.002044] [c000000002c93ae0] [c0000000004cd714] pcpu_populate_chunk+0x64/0x2b0 [ 0.002050] [c000000002c93b90] [c0000000004d1a14] pcpu_alloc+0x944/0xd80 [ 0.002056] [c000000002c93cb0] [c0000000005abcd4] mem_cgroup_alloc+0x144/0x470 [ 0.002063] [c000000002c93d30] [c0000000005bcedc] mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xac/0x390 [ 0.002070] [c000000002c93d80] [c00000000203181c] cgroup_init_subsys+0xf4/0x260 [ 0.002078] [c000000002c93e30] [c000000002031d40] cgroup_init+0x1f4/0x528 [ 0.002085] [c000000002c93f00] [c0000000020051ec] start_kernel+0x64c/0x6b0 [ 0.002091] [c000000002c93f90] [c00000000000d39c] start_here_common+0x1c/0x600 [ 0.002098] Instruction dump: [ 0.002101] 61280080 2c0a0001 7d28489e 913d0000 57ffa7fe 9bfe0020 809e001c e8be0008 [ 0.002112] e87e0000 2c250000 7c6a1b78 40820058 <81230008> 7c044840 4180004c f95e0010 [ 0.002124] ---[ end trace 7392155448beabaa ]--- [ 0.002127] [ 1.002133] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

My knowledge of offlined/onlined nodes is quite limited but after looking into it it doesnt seem like anything clears the state of NODE_DATA(nid) after a try_offline_node is attempted. So theoretically the panic we saw would not happen.
