The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/vmalloc: combine all TLB flush operations of KASAN shadow virtual address into one operation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmalloc-combine-all-tlb-flush-operations-of-kasan-shadow-virtual-address-into-one-operation.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

When compiling kernel source 'make -j $(nproc)' with the up-and-running KASAN-enabled kernel on a 256-core machine, the following soft lockup is shown:

Debugging Analysis:

1. The following ftrace log shows that the lockup CPU spends too much time iterating vmap_nodes and flushing TLB when purging vm_area structures. (Some info is trimmed).

kworker: funcgraph_entry: | drain_vmap_area_work() { kworker: funcgraph_entry: | mutex_lock() { kworker: funcgraph_entry: 1.092 us | __cond_resched(); kworker: funcgraph_exit: 3.306 us | } ... ... kworker: funcgraph_entry: | flush_tlb_kernel_range() { ... ... kworker: funcgraph_exit: # 7533.649 us | } ... ... kworker: funcgraph_entry: 2.344 us | mutex_unlock(); kworker: funcgraph_exit: $ 23871554 us | }

The drain_vmap_area_work() spends over 23 seconds.

There are 2805 flush_tlb_kernel_range() calls in the ftrace log. * One is called in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). * Others are called by purge_vmap_node->kasan_release_vmalloc. purge_vmap_node() iteratively releases kasan vmalloc allocations and flushes TLB for each vmap_area. - [Rough calculation] Each flush_tlb_kernel_range() runs about 7.5ms. -- 2804 * 7.5ms = 21.03 seconds. -- That's why a soft lock is triggered.

2. Extending the soft lockup time can work around the issue (For example, # echo 60 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh). This confirms the above-mentioned speculation: drain_vmap_area_work() spends too much time.

If we combine all TLB flush operations of the KASAN shadow virtual address into one operation in the call path 'purge_vmap_node()->kasan_release_vmalloc()', the running time of drain_vmap_area_work() can be saved greatly. The idea is from the flush_tlb_kernel_range() call in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). And, the soft lockup won't be triggered.

Here is the test result based on 6.10:

[6.10 wo/ the patch] 1. ftrace latency profiling (record a trace if the latency > 20s). echo 20000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh echo drain_vmap_area_work > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_graph_function echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on

2. Run `make -j $(nproc)` to compile the kernel source

3. Once the soft lockup is reproduced, check the ftrace log: cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 76) $ 50412985 us | } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */ 76) $ 50412997 us | } /* drain_vmap_area_work */ 76) $ 29165911 us | } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */ 76) $ 29165926 us | } /* drain_vmap_area_work */ 91) $ 53629423 us | } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */ 91) $ 53629434 us | } /* drain_vmap_area_work */ 91) $ 28121014 us | } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */ 91) $ 28121026 us | } /* drain_vmap_area_work */

[6.10 w/ the patch] 1. Repeat step 1-2 in "[6.10 wo/ the patch]"

2. The soft lockup is not triggered and ftrace log is empty. cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | |

3. Setting 'tracing_thresh' to 10/5 seconds does not get any ftrace log.

4. Setting 'tracing_thresh' to 1 second gets ftrace log. cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 23) $ 1074942 us | } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */ 23) $ 1074950 us | } /* drain_vmap_area_work */

The worst execution time of drain_vmap_area_work() is about 1 second.
