Recently I straced bash behavior in this dd zero pipe to read test, in
part of testing under vm.overcommit_memory=2 (OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode):
# dd if=/dev/zero | read x
The bash sub shell is calling mremap to reallocate more and more memory
untill it finally failed -ENOMEM (I expect), or to be killed by system OOM
killer (which should not happen under OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode); But the
mremap system call actually failed of -EFAULT, which is a surprise to me,
I think it's supposed to be -ENOMEM? then I wrote this piece of C code
testing confirmed it: https://gist.github.com/crquan/326bde37e1ddda8effe5
$ ./remap
allocated one page @0x7f686bf71000, (PAGE_SIZE: 4096)
grabbed 7680512000 bytes of memory (1875125 pages) @ 00007f6690993000.
mremap failed Bad address (14).
The -EFAULT comes from the branch of security_vm_enough_memory_mm failure,
underlyingly it calls __vm_enough_memory which returns only 0 for success
or -ENOMEM; So why vma_to_resize needs to return -EFAULT in this case?
this sounds like a mistake to me.
Some more digging into git history:
1) Before commit 119f657c7 ("RLIMIT_AS checking fix") in May 1 2005
(pre 2.6.12 days) it was returning -ENOMEM for this failure;
2) but commit 119f657c7 ("untangling do_mremap(), part 1") changed it
accidentally, to what ever is preserved in local ret, which happened to
be -EFAULT, in a previous assignment;
3) then in commit 54f5de709 code refactoring, it's explicitly returning
-EFAULT, should be wrong.

teach ->mremap() method to return an error and have it fail for
aio mappings in process of being killed
Note that in case of ->mremap() failure we need to undo move_page_tables()
we'd already done; we could call ->mremap() first, but then the failure of
move_page_tables() would require undoing whatever _successful_ ->mremap()
has done, which would be a lot more headache in general.

Pull aio updates from Benjamin LaHaise.
* git://git.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio-next:
aio: Skip timer for io_getevents if timeout=0
aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring
There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.
This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write
lock.

It's critical for split_huge_page() (and migration) to catch and freeze
all PMDs on rmap walk. It gets tricky if there's concurrent fork() or
mremap() since usually we copy/move page table entries on dup_mm() or
move_page_tables() without rmap lock taken. To get it work we rely on
rmap walk order to not miss any entry. We expect to see destination VMA
after source one to work correctly.
But after switching rmap implementation to interval tree it's not always
possible to preserve expected walk order.
It works fine for dup_mm() since new VMA has the same vma_start_pgoff()
/ vma_last_pgoff() and explicitly insert dst VMA after src one with
vma_interval_tree_insert_after().
But on move_vma() destination VMA can be merged into adjacent one and as
result shifted left in interval tree. Fortunately, we can detect the
situation and prevent race with rmap walk by moving page table entries
under rmap lock. See commit 38a76013ad.
Problem is that we miss the lock when we move transhuge PMD. Most
likely this bug caused the crash[1].

Revert commit 1ecfd533f4 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail
calling pmd_alloc()").
The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()
ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they
need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
the subsequent do_munmap(). Whereas commit 1ecfd533f4 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

the type of entry pte consists of. The trick here is that when we carry
soft dirty status in swap entries we are to use _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.
