Subject: [PATCH v4] page cache: Store only head pages in i_pages

Transparent Huge Pages are currently stored in i_pages as pointers to
consecutive subpages. This patch changes that to storing consecutive
pointers to the head page in preparation for storing huge pages more
efficiently in i_pages.

Large parts of this are "inspired" by Kirill's patch

v4: Extra tested-by and Reviewed-by tags
Fixed a couple of comments
Fixed a typo reported by Song
v3: Fix reporting of 'start' in find_get_pages_range() and
find_get_pages_range_tag() (noticed by Jan)
Fix page_cache_delete_batch() (Kirill)
Convert migrate_page_move_mapping() (Kirill)
Convert memfd_wait_for_pins() and memfd_tag_pins() (Kirill)
Fix __delete_from_swap_cache() (Kirill)
v2: Rebase on top of linux-next 20190212
Fixed a missing s/head/page/ in filemap_map_pages
Include missing calls to xas_store() in __split_huge_page

Thanks for the reports, Chris.

I think they're both canaries; somehow the page cache / swap cache has
got corrupted and contains entries that it shouldn't.

This second one (with the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in __delete_from_swap_cache)
shows a regular (non-huge) page at index 1. There are two ways we might
have got there; one is that we asked to delete a page at index 1 which is
no longer in the cache. The other is that we asked to delete a huge page
at index 0, but the page wasn't subsequently stored in indices 1-511.

We dump the page that we found; not the page we're looking for, so I don't
know which. If this one's easy to reproduce, you could add:

for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
void *entry = xas_store(&xas, NULL);
+ if (entry != page) {
+ printk("Oh dear %d %d\n", i, nr);
+ dump_page(page, "deleting page");
+ }
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(entry != page, entry);
set_page_private(page + i, 0);
xas_next(&xas);
}

I'll re-read the patch and see if I can figure out how the cache is getting
screwed up. Given what you said, probably on the swap-in path.

It may be self-incriminating, but this only occurs when i915.ko is also
involved via shrink_slab.

I can give you a clue, it requires split_huge_page_to_list().

Forgiving the ignorant copy'n'paste, this is required:

+ } else if (PageSwapCache(page)) {
+ swp_entry_t entry = { .val = page_private(head + i) };
+ __xa_store(&swap_address_space(entry)->i_pages,

}

The locking is definitely wrong.

Does it help with the problem, or it's just a possible lead?

It definitely solves the problem we encountered of the bad VM_PAGE
leading to RCU stalls in khugepaged. The locking is definitely wrong
though :)

I notice I'm not the only one to have bisected a swap related VM_PAGE_BUG
to this patch. Do we have a real fix I can put through our CI to confirm
the issue is resolved before 5.2?
