Subject: [PATCH v21 06/19] mm/rmap: stop store reordering issue on page->mapping
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2020 16:55:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1604566549-62481-7-git-send-email-alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1604566549-62481-1-git-send-email-alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com>
Hugh Dickins and Minchan Kim observed a long time issue which
discussed here, but actully the mentioned fix missed.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150504031722.GA2768@blaptop/
The store reordering may cause problem in the scenario:
CPU 0 CPU1
do_anonymous_page
page_add_new_anon_rmap()
page->mapping = anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON
lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable()
spin_lock(lruvec->lock)
SetPageLRU()
spin_unlock(lruvec->lock)
/* idletacking judged it as LRU
* page so pass the page in
* page_idle_clear_pte_refs
*/
page_idle_clear_pte_refs
rmap_walk
if PageAnon(page)
Johannes give detailed examples how the store reordering could cause
a trouble:
The concern is the SetPageLRU may get reorder before 'page->mapping'
setting, That would make CPU 1 will observe at page->mapping after
observing PageLRU set on the page.
1. anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON
That's the in-order scenario and is fine.
2. NULL
That's possible if the page->mapping store gets reordered to occur
after SetPageLRU. That's fine too because we check for it.
3. anon_vma without the PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit
That would be a problem and could lead to all kinds of undesirable
behavior including crashes and data corruption.
Is it possible? AFAICT the compiler is allowed to tear the store to
page->mapping and I don't see anything that would prevent it.
That said, I also don't see how the reader testing PageLRU under the
lru_lock would prevent that in the first place. AFAICT we need that
WRITE_ONCE() around the page->mapping assignment.
