Ben Tebulin reported: "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue" and bisected the failure to the backport of commit53a59fc67f
("mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT"). That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever happened when running out of memory. The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly buggered. It was introduced in commit597e1c3580
("mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling was already fixed at least once in commite6c495a96c
("mm: fix the TLB range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix was not complete. The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates. Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range() did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it when initializing all the other tlb gather fields. This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs. Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

|
|
* This is needed by some architectures to implement software pagetable walkers.
|
|
*
|
|
* gup_fast() and other software pagetable walkers do a lockless page-table
|
|
* walk and therefore needs some synchronization with the freeing of the page
|
|
* directories. The chosen means to accomplish that is by disabling IRQs over
|
|
* the walk.
|
|
*
|
|
* Architectures that use IPIs to flush TLBs will then automagically DTRT,
|
|
* since we unlink the page, flush TLBs, free the page. Since the disabling of
|
|
* IRQs delays the completion of the TLB flush we can never observe an already
|
|
* freed page.
|
|
*
|
|
* Architectures that do not have this (PPC) need to delay the freeing by some
|
|
* other means, this is that means.
|
|
*
|
|
* What we do is batch the freed directory pages (tables) and RCU free them.
|
|
* We use the sched RCU variant, as that guarantees that IRQ/preempt disabling
|
|
* holds off grace periods.
|
|
*
|
|
* However, in order to batch these pages we need to allocate storage, this
|
|
* allocation is deep inside the MM code and can thus easily fail on memory
|
|
* pressure. To guarantee progress we fall back to single table freeing, see
|
|
* the implementation of tlb_remove_table_one().
