[PATCH 3.16 136/366] mm/ksm.c: ignore STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item->address in rmap_walk_ksm()

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jia He <jia.he@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1105a2fc022f3c7482e32faf516e8bc44095f778 upstream.

In our armv8a server(QDF2400), I noticed lots of WARN_ON caused by
PAGE_SIZE unaligned for rmap_item->address under memory pressure
tests(start 20 guests and run memhog in the host).

  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 4641 at virt/kvm/arm/mmu.c:1826 kvm_age_hva_handler+0xc0/0xc8
  CPU: 4 PID: 4641 Comm: memhog Tainted: G        W 4.17.0-rc3+ #8

In rmap_walk_ksm, the rmap_item->address might still have the
STABLE_FLAG, then the start and end in handle_hva_to_gpa might not be
PAGE_SIZE aligned.  Thus it will cause exceptions in handle_hva_to_gpa
on arm64.

This patch fixes it by ignoring (not removing) the low bits of address
when doing rmap_walk_ksm.

IMO, it should be backported to stable tree.  the storm of WARN_ONs is
very easy for me to reproduce.  More than that, I watched a panic (not
reproducible) as follows:

  page:ffff7fe003742d80 count:-4871 mapcount:-2126053375 mapping: (null) index:0x0
  flags: 0x1fffc00000000000()

    handle_hva_to_gpa+0xb0/0xec
    kvm_unmap_hva_range+0x5c/0xd0

I even injected a fault on purpose in kvm_unmap_hva_range by seting
size=size-0x200, the call trace is similar as above.  So I thought the
panic is similarly caused by the root cause of WARN_ON.

Andrea said:

: It looks a straightforward safe fix, on x86 hva_to_gfn_memslot would
: zap those bits and hide the misalignment caused by the low metadata
: bits being erroneously left set in the address, but the arm code
: notices when that's the last page in the memslot and the hva_end is
: getting aligned and the size is below one page.
:
: I think the problem triggers in the addr += PAGE_SIZE of
: unmap_stage2_ptes that never matches end because end is aligned but
: addr is not.
:
: 	} while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);
:
: x86 again only works on hva_start/hva_end after converting it to
: gfn_start/end and that being in pfn units the bits are zapped before
: they risk to cause trouble.

Jia He said:

: I've tested by myself in arm64 server (QDF2400,46 cpus,96G mem) Without
: this patch, the WARN_ON is very easy for reproducing.  After this patch, I
: have run the same benchmarch for a whole day without any WARN_ONs
