Subject: [RFC][PATCH v3 00/22] __vmalloc: Propagating GFP allocation flag inside __vmalloc()

A filesystem might run into a problem while calling __vmalloc(GFP_NOFS)
inside a lock.

It is expected than __vmalloc when called with GFP_NOFS should not
callback the filesystem code even incase of the increased memory
pressure. But the problem is that even if we pass this flag, __vmalloc
itself allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL.

Using GFP_KERNEL allocations may go into the memory reclaim path and try
to free memory by calling file system evict_inode function. Which might
lead into deadlock.

For further details
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=128942194520631&w=4
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30702

The patch passes the gfp allocation flag all the way down to those
allocating functions.

Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 01/22] mm: Propagating GFP allocation flag inside __vmalloc()


linux/mm.h
- Added extra parameter gfp_t to __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, and __pte_alloc_kernel.

- Added function pud_alloc_with_mask() to allocate pud entry using the
specified allocation flag. The default modified pud_alloc() to call
pud_alloc_with_mask() with GFP_KERNEL.

- Similar modifications for pmd allocation.

- Added pte_alloc_kernel_with_mask() for pte allocations. The default
pte_alloc_kernel() modified to pte_alloc_kernel_with_mask() with GFP_KERNEL.

mm/memory.c
- Added an additional parameter gfp_t to __pte_alloc_kernel(). The function
calls __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing the allocation flag.

- An additional argument gfp_t added to __pud_alloc(). It calls
__pud_alloc_one() and passes the allocation flag, down the call hierarchy.

- Similar modification for __pmd_alloc().

mm/vmalloc.c
- Added an extra parameter gfp_t to vmap_pte_range() and also changed the
function to call pte_alloc_kernel_with_mask() instead of pte_alloc_kernel().

- Added a gfp_t parameter to vmap_pmd_range(). Now it calls
pmd_alloc_with_mask(), also passes down the gfp_t to vmap_pte_range().

- Similar modification to vmap_pud_range().

- Added new function __vmap_page_range_noflush(), which is copy of the
function vmap_page_range_noflush(). This newly added function has an extra
allocation flag, which is passed down the call hierarchy.

- The function vmap_page_range_noflush() calls __vmap_page_range_noflush()
with allocation flag GFP_KERNEL.

- Added another version of function vmap_page_range() to pass down allocation
flag i.e. __vmap_page_range(). The function vmap_page_range() is changed to
call __vmap_page_range() with default GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

- Added copy of function map_vm_area() i.e. __map_vm_area(). The map_vm_area()
is changed to call __map_vm_area() with default allocation flag.

These changes are done to fix the Bug 30702

Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 04/22] mm, um: add gfp flags variant of pmd and pte allocations


- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() which is similar to pte_alloc_one_kernel()
but accepts an additional parameter to be used during page allocation.

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() has been modified to call
__pte_alloc_one_kernel().

- The similar changes are done for pmd allocations. The name of the newly
added function is __pmd_alloc_one().

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702

- Added function __pte_alloc_one() which is very similar to pte_alloc_one(),
but also accepts an additional gfp_t allocation flag.

- The pte_alloc_one() function calls __pte_alloc_one().

- Added function __pte_alloc_one_kernel() to accept and then pass the
allocation flag to __pte_alloc_one().

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() calls __pte_alloc_one_kernel().

- Added function __pmd_alloc_one to allocation pmd entries using the
specified allocation flag. It works by passing the allocation flag
to __pte_alloc_one().

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702

Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 06/22] mm, sparc: add gfp flags variant of pmd and pte allocations


32 bit architecture changes
- Added a new marcos __pmd_alloc_one() which allow caller to pass the gfp_t
allocation flag. The allocation flag is discarded, as the function
pmd_alloc_one() does not allocate memory. The code for pte allocation is
also modified the same way.

64 bit architecture changes
- Added function __pmd_alloc_one() to accept an additional allocation flag
from caller. Similar to pmd_alloc_one() the function __pmd_alloc_one()
calls quicklist_alloc() passing the allocation flag.

- pmd_alloc_one() calls __pmd_alloc_one().

- The similar changes are done for pte allocations.

- All these changes help in fixing the Bug 30702

- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() function to allow caller to allocation flag.
Like pte_alloc_one_kernel() this newly added function calls
quicklist_alloc() and passes the allocation flag down the call hierarchy.

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() is modified to call
__pte_alloc_one_kernel() using the correct allocation flag.

- Similar changes for pmd allocations. Added function __pmd_alloc_one().

- The changes help in fixing the Bug 30702.

Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 09/22] mm, s390: add gfp flags variant of pud, pte, and pte allocations


Generic changes
- Added function __crst_table_alloc() which is similar to crst_table_alloc()
but accepts an extra argument gfp_t. The function uses given allocation
flag to allocate pages.

- The function crst_table_alloc() has been modified to call
__crst_table_alloc() and pass GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

- Added a function __page_table_alloc() to allocate page table entries. This
function is allows caller to specify the page allocation flag. The
allocation flag is then passed to alloc_page(). The rest of the function is
copy of the original page_table_alloc().

- The function page_table_alloc() is modified to call __page_table_alloc()
and pass GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

changes for 32 (31) bit architecture (s390)
- Added macros __pud_alloc_one, __pmd_alloc_one which are similar to
pud_alloc_one and pmd_alloc_one respectively, but has an extra argument
for gfp_t.

changes for 64 bit architecture (s390x)
- Added __pud_alloc_one() allow caller to pass the memory allocation flag.
The function passes the allocation flag to __crst_table_alloc(). The rest
of the function is copy of crst_table_alloc().

- The function pud_alloc_one() is modified to call __pud_alloc_one() and
pass GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

- The similar changes are performed for pmd allocations

- Added marco __pte_alloc_one_kernel() to accept additional argument gfp_t.
This argument is then passed to __page_table_alloc() to allocate the page
table entry.

- Modified pte_alloc_one_kernel() to call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- The changes for both architectures help in fixing Bug 30702

Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 10/22] mm, powerpc: add gfp flags variant of pud, pte, and pte allocations


changes for 32 bit architecture
- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() to allocated zeroed page using
allocation flag passed as an argument. If the slab allocator is not
initialized the allocation flag is not passed down the call hierarchy.
i.e. the call to early_get_page() is not modified.

- Changed pte_alloc_one_kernel() to call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing
correct gfp_t flags.

changes for 64 bit architecture
- Added __pud_alloc_one() which is similar to pud_alloc_one(). This newly
added function accepts allocation flag as a parameter and does the PUD
allocation using this GFP flag.

- The function pud_alloc_one() is changed to call __pud_alloc_one() passing
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- Similar changes for pmd (cache) and pte (page) allocations.

- The changes for both architectures help in fixing Bug 30702

- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() function to allocate zeroed page using
passed allocation flag. The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() is changed to
call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation
flags.

2-level page table support
- Added macro __pmd_alloc_one which is same as pmd_alloc_one, but has an extra
argument to pass gfp_t

3-level page table support
- Added function __pmd_alloc_one() to allocate pages using allocation flag.
The allocation flag is argument to the function.

- The function pmd_alloc_one() is changed to call __pmd_alloc_one(), passing
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- All these changes help in fixing the Bug 30702

- Added __get_pointer_table() function which is same as get_pointer_table(),
but allows caller to pass the allocation flag.

- Changed get_pointer_table() to call __get_pointer_table() passing
GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

- All these changes help in fixing the Bug 30702

Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 17/22] mm, ia64: add gfp flags variant of pud, pmd and pte allocations


- Added __pud_alloc_one which allows caller to specify the gfp_t flag.
Like pud_alloc_one the function calls quicklist_alloc() and passes
the given allocation flag.

- Changed pud_alloc_one to call __pud_alloc_one using GFP_KERNEL.

- Added similar changes for pte and pmd allocation functions.

- Helps in fixing the Bug 30702.

There should be no break between the function type and its name.

PGALLOC_GFP represents the gfp flags intended for the allocators in this
file, there's no need to replace its use with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT,
we don't care that __pte_alloc_one_kernel() ORs this with __GFP_NOTRACK
and __GFP_ZERO.

The approach of this patch series seems straightforward, the only nitpick I
have is the fact that two new functions __crst_table_alloc/__page_table_alloc
are introduced. There aren't many call sites for the two original functions,
namely 4 for crst_table_alloc and 3 for page_table_alloc. Why not add the
gfp flag GFP_KERNEL to these call sites? Then the two additional functions
would not be needed.

Thanks a lot Martin for your reply. Here is a new patch, which the changes
you suggested.

Generic changes
- Changed crst_table_alloc() to accept a new parameter gfp_t, allocate pages
using the passed allocation flag.

- crst_table_upgrade() calls crst_table_alloc() with GFP_KERNEL.

- page_table_alloc() is also changned to accept a parameter gfp_t and allocate
page using the passed allocation flag.

- vmem_pte_alloc() calls page_table_alloc() with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT

changes for 32 (31) bit architecture (s390)
- Added macros __pud_alloc_one, __pmd_alloc_one which are similar to
pud_alloc_one and pmd_alloc_one respectively, but has an extra argument
for gfp_t.

changes for 64 bit architecture (s390x)
- Added __pud_alloc_one() allow caller to pass the memory allocation flag.
The function passes the allocation flag to crst_table_alloc().

- The function pud_alloc_one() is modified to call __pud_alloc_one() and
pass GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

- The similar changes are performed for pmd allocations

- pgd_populate_kernel() calls crst_table_alloc() with GFP_KERNEL

- Added marco __pte_alloc_one_kernel() to accept additional argument gfp_t.
This argument is then passed to page_table_alloc() to allocate the page
table entry.

- Modified pte_alloc_one_kernel() to call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- Modified pte_alloc_one() to call page_table_alloc() with allocation flag
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT

- The changes for both architectures help in fixing Bug 30702

Thanks a lot David for your reply. Sending a new patch with the changes suggested by you.

- Added __pud_alloc_one() function which is similar to pud_alloc_one(), but
accepts an additional argument of type gfp_t. The function pud_alloc_one()
calls __pud_alloc_one().

- similar changes for pmd allocations. The newly added function name is__pmd_alloc_one.

- Similar changes for pte allocation. Added function __pte_alloc_one_kernel.

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
