On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables are not shared
between processes. This can cause mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
persist in some page-tables after the region is unmapped and released.
When the region is re-used the processes with the old mappings do not fault
in the new mappings but still access the old ones.
This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data corruption, kernel
oopses and panics and even spontaneous reboots.
Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
all page-tables in the system before the regions can be re-used.

Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks, bpf and
percpu allocator are new top users), and the total % of memory consumed by
vmalloc() can be pretty significant and changes dynamically.
/proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information: its top goal
is to show top consumers of the memory.
Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use for quite a
long time (it has been defined to 0 by a5ad88ce8c ("mm: get rid of
'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the
actual physical memory consumption of vmalloc().

In a rare case, flush_tlb_kernel_range() could be called with a start
higher than the end.
In vm_remove_mappings(), in case page_address() returns 0 for all pages
(for example they were all in highmem), _vm_unmap_aliases() will be
called with start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0 and flush = 1.
If at the same time, the vmalloc purge operation is triggered by something
else while the current operation is between remove_vm_area() and
_vm_unmap_aliases(), then the vm mapping just removed will be already
purged. In this case the call of vm_unmap_aliases() may not find any other
mappings to flush and so end up flushing start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0. So
only set flush = true if we find something in the direct mapping that we
need to flush, and this way this can't happen.

Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3.
Objective
---------
Please have a look for the description at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
but let me also summarize it a bit here as well.
The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different
permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say
"long" i mean milliseconds.
Description
-----------
This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e. an allocation is done over free areas lookups,
instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks. It allows to have
lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have
less fragmented memory allocator. Because free blocks are always as large
as possible.
It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending
order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides
O(1) access to prev/next elements.
Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA
that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right
sub-tree. Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left
most path) free area.
Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity. It is sequential allocation method
therefore tends to maximize locality. The search is done until a first
suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters.
Bigger areas are split.
I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i
described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
<snip>
A free block can be split by three different ways. Their names are
FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e. they
correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block.
FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free
list/tree because it fully fits. Comparing with current design there is
an extra work with rb-tree updating.
LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit. In this case what we do
is just cutting a free block. It is as fast as a current design. Most of
the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is
always aligned to 1.
NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case. Basically it happens when
requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e. it
is between them. In this case during splitting we have to build a
remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree.
Comparing with current design there are two extra steps. First one is we
have to allocate a new vmap_area structure. Second one we have to insert
that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree.
In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects.
Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and
reuse it.
Second one is pretty optimized. Since we know a start point in the tree
we do not do a search from the top. Instead a traversal begins from a
rb-tree node we split.
<snip>
De-allocation. ~O(log(N)) complexity. An area is not inserted straight
away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it
can be merged around neighbors. The list provides O(1) access to
prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it. Summarizing. If merged then
large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making
more fragments.
There is one more thing that i should mention here. After modification of
VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in
its left or right sub-tree. Apart of that it can also be populated back
to upper levels to fix the tree. For more details please have a look at
the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description.
Tests and stressing
-------------------
I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under
"tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel. Just trigger "sudo
./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it.
Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA.
Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system,
therefore i emulated it. The time of stressing is days.
If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that
is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1. So, please apply it:
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c
After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory
leaks, crashes or kernel panics. I find it stable, but more testing would
be good.
Performance analysis
--------------------
I have used two systems to test. One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and
another is HiKey960(arm64) board. i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas
Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel. I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1
as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this.
Currently it consist of 8 tests. There are three of them which correspond
to different types of splitting(to compare with default). We have 3
ones(see above). Another 5 do allocations in different conditions.
a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available
tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order. We
do it in order to get stable and repeatable results. Take a look at time
difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test". It is not surprising because
the worst case is O(N).
# i5-3320M
How many cycles all tests took:

ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/HiKey960_performance_patched.txt
b) time sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh test_repeat_count=1
With this configuration, all tests are run on all available online CPUs.
Before running each CPU shuffles its tests execution order. It gives
random allocation behaviour. So it is rough comparison, but it puts in
the picture for sure.
# i5-3320M
<default> vs <patched>
real 101m22.813s real 0m56.805s
user 0m0.011s user 0m0.015s

# Hikey960 8x CPUs
<default> vs <patched>
real unknown real 4m25.214s
user unknown user 0m0.011s
sys unknown sys 0m0.670s
I did not manage to complete this test on "default Hikey960" kernel
version. After 24 hours it was still running, therefore i had to cancel
it. That is why real/user/sys are "unknown".
This patch (of 3):
Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list
iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy
areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown. Due to
over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can
take a long time. For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds.
This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range. It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks
sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in
order of increasing addresses.
Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in
its left or right sub-tree. Thus, that allows to take a decision and
traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start
address, i.e. it is sequential allocation.
Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a
suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the
requested size, alignment and vstart point. If the block is bigger than
requested size - it is split.
De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or
inserted to the tree. Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot
whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next
blocks to check if merging can be done. In case of merging of
de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.
Complexity: ~O(log(N))

Commit 763b218ddf ("mm: add preempt points into __purge_vmap_area_lazy()")
introduced some preempt points, one of those is making an allocation
more prioritized over lazy free of vmap areas.
Prioritizing an allocation over freeing does not work well all the time,
i.e. it should be rather a compromise.
1) Number of lazy pages directly influences the busy list length thus
on operations like: allocation, lookup, unmap, remove, etc.
2) Under heavy stress of vmalloc subsystem I run into a situation when
memory usage gets increased hitting out_of_memory -> panic state due to
completely blocking of logic that frees vmap areas in the
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() function.
Establish a threshold passing which the freeing is prioritized back over
allocation creating a balance between each other.
Using vmalloc test driver in "stress mode", i.e. When all available
test cases are run simultaneously on all online CPUs applying a
pressure on the vmalloc subsystem, my HiKey 960 board runs out of
memory due to the fact that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() logic simply is
not able to free pages in time.
How I run it:
1) You should build your kernel with CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC=m
2) ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/test_vmalloc.sh stress
During this test "vmap_lazy_nr" pages will go far beyond acceptable
lazy_max_pages() threshold, that will lead to enormous busy list size
and other problems including allocation time and so on.

Add a new flag VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS, for enabling vfree operations to
immediately clear executable TLB entries before freeing pages, and handle
resetting permissions on the directmap. This flag is useful for any kind
of memory with elevated permissions, or where there can be related
permissions changes on the directmap. Today this is RO+X and RO memory.
Although this enables directly vfreeing non-writeable memory now,
non-writable memory cannot be freed in an interrupt because the allocation
itself is used as a node on deferred free list. So when RO memory needs to
be freed in an interrupt the code doing the vfree needs to have its own
work queue, as was the case before the deferred vfree list was added to
vmalloc.
For architectures with set_direct_map_ implementations this whole operation
can be done with one TLB flush when centralized like this. For others with
directmap permissions, currently only arm64, a backup method using
set_memory functions is used to reset the directmap. When arm64 adds
set_direct_map_ functions, this backup can be removed.
When the TLB is flushed to both remove TLB entries for the vmalloc range
mapping and the direct map permissions, the lazy purge operation could be
done to try to save a TLB flush later. However today vm_unmap_aliases
could flush a TLB range that does not include the directmap. So a helper
is added with extra parameters that can allow both the vmalloc address and
the direct mapping to be flushed during this operation. The behavior of the
normal vm_unmap_aliases function is unchanged.
