The compaction_test memory selftest introduces fragmentation in memory and then tries to allocate as many hugepages as possible. This series addresses some problems. On Aarch64, if nr_hugepages == 0, then the test trivially succeeds since compaction_index becomes 0, which is less than 3, due to no division by zero exception being raised. We fix that by checking for division by zero. Secondly, correctly set the number of hugepages to zero before trying to set a large number of them. Now, consider a situation in which, at the start of the test, a non-zero number of hugepages have been already set (while running the entire selftests/mm suite, or manually by the admin). The test operates on 80% of memory to avoid OOM-killer invocation, and because some memory is already blocked by hugepages, it would increase the chance of OOM-killing. Also, since mem_free used in check_compaction() is the value before we set nr_hugepages to zero, the chance that the compaction_index will be small is very high if the preset nr_hugepages was high, leading to a bogus test success. This patch (of 3): Currently, if at runtime we are not able to allocate a huge page, the test will trivially pass on Aarch64 due to no exception being raised on division by zero while computing compaction_index. Fix that by checking for nr_hugepages == 0. Anyways, in general, avoid a division by zero by exiting the program beforehand. While at it, fix a typo, and handle the case where the number of hugepages may overflow an integer.

If a non-zero number of hugepages is already set before the start of the test, the following problems arise: - The probability of the test getting OOM-killed increases. Proof: The test wants to run on 80% of available memory to prevent OOM-killing (see original code comments). Let the value of mem_free at the start of the test, when nr_hugepages = 0, be x. In the other case, when nr_hugepages > 0, let the memory consumed by hugepages be y. In the former case, the test operates on 0.8 * x of memory. In the latter, the test operates on 0.8 * (x - y) of memory, with y already filled, hence, memory consumed is y + 0.8 * (x - y) = 0.8 * x + 0.2 * y > 0.8 * x. Q.E.D - The probability of a bogus test success increases. Proof: Let the memory consumed by hugepages be greater than 25% of x, with x and y defined as above. The definition of compaction_index is c_index = (x - y)/z where z is the memory consumed by hugepages after trying to increase them again. In check_compaction(), we set the number of hugepages to zero, and then increase them back; the probability that they will be set back to consume at least y amount of memory again is very high (since there is not much delay between the two attempts of changing nr_hugepages). Hence, z >= y > (x/4) (by the 25% assumption). Therefore, c_index = (x - y)/z <= (x - y)/y = x/y - 1 < 4 - 1 = 3 hence, c_index can always be forced to be less than 3, thereby the test succeeding always.

If a non-zero number of hugepages is already set before the start of the test, the following problems arise: - The probability of the test getting OOM-killed increases. Proof: The test wants to run on 80% of available memory to prevent OOM-killing (see original code comments). Let the value of mem_free at the start of the test, when nr_hugepages = 0, be x. In the other case, when nr_hugepages > 0, let the memory consumed by hugepages be y. In the former case, the test operates on 0.8 * x of memory. In the latter, the test operates on 0.8 * (x - y) of memory, with y already filled, hence, memory consumed is y + 0.8 * (x - y) = 0.8 * x + 0.2 * y > 0.8 * x. Q.E.D - The probability of a bogus test success increases. Proof: Let the memory consumed by hugepages be greater than 25% of x, with x and y defined as above. The definition of compaction_index is c_index = (x - y)/z where z is the memory consumed by hugepages after trying to increase them again. In check_compaction(), we set the number of hugepages to zero, and then increase them back; the probability that they will be set back to consume at least y amount of memory again is very high (since there is not much delay between the two attempts of changing nr_hugepages). Hence, z >= y > (x/4) (by the 25% assumption). Therefore, c_index = (x - y)/z <= (x - y)/y = x/y - 1 < 4 - 1 = 3 hence, c_index can always be forced to be less than 3, thereby the test succeeding always.

If a non-zero number of hugepages is already set before the start of the test, the following problems arise: - The probability of the test getting OOM-killed increases. Proof: The test wants to run on 80% of available memory to prevent OOM-killing (see original code comments). Let the value of mem_free at the start of the test, when nr_hugepages = 0, be x. In the other case, when nr_hugepages > 0, let the memory consumed by hugepages be y. In the former case, the test operates on 0.8 * x of memory. In the latter, the test operates on 0.8 * (x - y) of memory, with y already filled, hence, memory consumed is y + 0.8 * (x - y) = 0.8 * x + 0.2 * y > 0.8 * x. Q.E.D - The probability of a bogus test success increases. Proof: Let the memory consumed by hugepages be greater than 25% of x, with x and y defined as above. The definition of compaction_index is c_index = (x - y)/z where z is the memory consumed by hugepages after trying to increase them again. In check_compaction(), we set the number of hugepages to zero, and then increase them back; the probability that they will be set back to consume at least y amount of memory again is very high (since there is not much delay between the two attempts of changing nr_hugepages). Hence, z >= y > (x/4) (by the 25% assumption). Therefore, c_index = (x - y)/z <= (x - y)/y = x/y - 1 < 4 - 1 = 3 hence, c_index can always be forced to be less than 3, thereby the test succeeding always.

FAILED: patch "[PATCH] selftests/mm: compaction_test: fix incorrect write of zero to" failed to apply to 4.19-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

The patch below does not apply to the 4.19-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to <stable(a)vger.kernel.org>. To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands: git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-4.19.y git checkout FETCH_HEAD git cherry-pick -x 9ad665ef55eaad1ead1406a58a34f615a7c18b5e # <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.> git commit -s git send-email --to '<stable(a)vger.kernel.org>' --in-reply-to '2024061334-splinter-unshipped-1c3e@gregkh' --subject-prefix 'PATCH 4.19.y' HEAD^..

Fix that using lseek().
