[PATCH] [15/19] HWPOISON: The high level memory error handler in the VM v7

Andi Kleen
2009-08-05T09:38:21Z

Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages
that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM
or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone
from accessing these pages in the future.

This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned
and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page
it is.

The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c

To quote the overview comment:

* High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
* hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
* failure.
*
* This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background.
* When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently
* running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies
* that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to
* just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead
* when that happens another machine check will happen.
*
* Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
* here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
* users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
* possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
* has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
* rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
* error handling takes potentially a long time.
*
* Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non
* linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not
* been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case
* for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected
* to be rare we hope we can get away with this.

There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison:
- just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before
killing
- kill as soon as corruption is detected.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used
in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can
be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill
The default is early kill.

The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect
processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure
knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep
everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways

v2: Fix anon vma unlock crash (noticed by Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>)
Handle pages on free list correctly (also noticed by Johannes)
Fix inverted try_to_release_page check (found by Chris Mason)
Add documentation for the new sysctl.
Various other cleanups/comment fixes.
v3: Use blockable signal for AO SIGBUS for better qemu handling.
Numerous fixes from Fengguang Wu:
New code layout for the table (redone by AK)
Move the hwpoison bit setting before the lock (Fengguang Wu)
Some code cleanups (Fengguang Wu, AK)
Add missing lru_drain (Fengguang Wu)
Do more checks for valid mappings (inspired by patch from Fengguang)
Handle free pages and fixes for clean pages (Fengguang)
Removed swap cache handling for now, needs more work
Better mapping checks to avoid races (Fengguang)
Fix swapcache (Fengguang)
Handle private2 pages too (Fengguang)
v4: Various fixes based on review comments from Nick Piggin
Document locking order.
Improved comments.
Slightly improved description
Remove bogus hunk.
Wait properly for writeback pages (Nick Piggin)
v5: Improve various comments
Handle page_address_in_vma() failure better by SIGKILL and also
make message debugging only
Clean up printks
Remove redundant PageWriteback check (Nick Piggin)
Add missing clear_page_mlock
Reformat state table to be <80 columns again
Use truncate helper instead of manual truncate in me_pagecache_*
Check for metadata buffer pages and reject them.
A few cleanups.
v6:
Fix a printk broken in the last round of cleanups.
More minor cleanups and fixes based on comments from Fengguang Wu.
Rename /proc/meminfo Header to "HardwareCorrupted"
Add a printk for the failed mapping case (Fengguang Wu)
Better clean page check (Fengguang Wu)
v7:
Use lru_add_drain_all
Use isolate_lru result in final status
[Merge with Fengguang's version. Only cherry picked changes.]
Fix bad pfn handling in action_result (Fengguang)
Reverse tasklist lock locking order (Nick Piggin)
Check if VMA has really page mapped (Fengguang)
Add a missing page->mapping test (Fengguang)
Account all bad pages (Fengguang)
Misc comment fixes (Fengguang, Andi)
Add sysctl to force panic on memory failure
Only truncate if address space has it enabled, otherwise invalidate
Now selectable in Kconfig by the user.
Allow elevated reference count and return status

+Control how to kill processes when uncorrected memory error (typically
+a 2bit error in a memory module) is detected in the background by hardware
+that cannot be handled by the kernel. In some cases (like the page
+still having a valid copy on disk) the kernel will handle the failure
+transparently without affecting any applications. But if there is
+no other uptodate copy of the data it will kill to prevent any data
+corruptions from propagating.
+
+1: Kill all processes that have the corrupted and not reloadable page mapped
+as soon as the corruption is detected. Note this is not supported
+for a few types of pages, like kernel internally allocated data or
+the swap cache, but works for the majority of user pages.
+
+0: Only unmap the corrupted page from all processes and only kill a process
+who tries to access it.
+
+The kill is done using a catchable SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO, so processes can
+handle this if they want to.
+
+This is only active on architectures/platforms with advanced machine
+check handling and depends on the hardware capabilities.
+
+Applications can override this setting individually with the PR_MCE_KILL prctl
