Subject: [PATCH v2] mm, THP, swap: fix allocating cluster for swapfile by mistake
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2020 12:53:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200820045323.7809-1-hsiangkao@redhat.com> (raw)

SWP_FS is used to make swap_{read,write}page() go through
the filesystem, and it's only used for swap files over
NFS. So, !SWP_FS means non NFS for now, it could be either
file backed or device backed. Something similar goes with
legacy SWP_FILE.

So in order to achieve the goal of the original patch,
SWP_BLKDEV should be used instead.

FS corruption can be observed with SSD device + XFS +
fragmented swapfile due to CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y.

I reproduced the issue with the following details:

Environment:
QEMU + upstream kernel + buildroot + NVMe (2 GB)

Kernel config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y
CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y

Some reproducable steps:
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/nvme0n1
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount /dev/nvme0n1 /tmp/mnt
bs="32k"
sz="1024m"    # doesn't matter too much, I also tried 16m
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -F -S 0 -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fsync" /tmp/mnt/sw

mkswap /tmp/mnt/sw
swapon /tmp/mnt/sw

stress --vm 2 --vm-bytes 600M   # doesn't matter too much as well

Symptoms:
 - FS corruption (e.g. checksum failure)
 - memory corruption at: 0xd2808010
 - segfault

Fixes: 38d8b4e6bdc8 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out")
