Subject: [PATCH] mm, THP, swap: fix allocating cluster for swapfile by mistake
Date:   Thu, 20 Aug 2020 03:56:13 +0800
Message-Id: <20200819195613.24269-1-hsiangkao@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

SWP_FS doesn't mean the device is file-backed swap device,
which just means each writeback request should go through fs
by DIO. Or it'll just use extents added by .swap_activate(),
but it also works as file-backed swap device.

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.

Fixes: f0eea189e8e9 ("mm, THP, swap: Don't allocate huge cluster for file backed swap device")
Fixes: 38d8b4e6bdc8 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out")

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
