To quote Josh Snyder: # # "For Netflix, losing accurate information from the mincore syscall # would lengthen database cluster maintenance operations from days to # months. We rely on cross-process mincore to migrate the contents of a # page cache from machine to machine, and across reboots. # # To do this, I wrote and maintain happycache [1], a page cache # dumper/loader tool. It is quite similar in architecture to pgfincore, # except that it is agnostic to workload. The gist of happycache's # operation is "produce a dump of residence status for each page, do # some operation, then reload exactly the same pages which were present # before." happycache is entirely dependent on accurate reporting of the # in-core status of file-backed pages, as accessed by another process. # # We primarily use happycache with Cassandra, which (like Postgres + # pgfincore) relies heavily on OS page cache to reduce disk accesses. # Because our workloads never experience a cold page cache, we are able # to provision hardware for a peak utilization level that is far lower # than the hypothetical "every query is a cache miss" peak. # # A database warmed by happycache can be ready for service in seconds # (bounded only by the performance of the drives and the I/O subsystem), # with no period of in-service degradation. By contrast, putting a # database in service without a page cache entails a potentially # unbounded period of degradation (at Netflix, the time to populate a # single node's cache via natural cache misses varies by workload from # hours to weeks). If a single node upgrade were to take weeks, then # upgrading an entire cluster would take months. Since we want to apply # security upgrades (and other things) on a somewhat tighter schedule, # we would have to develop more complex solutions to provide the same # functionality already provided by mincore. # # At the bottom line, happycache is designed to benignly exploit the # same information leak documented in the paper [2]. I think it makes # perfect sense to remove cross-process mincore functionality from # unprivileged users, but not to remove it entirely" # # We do have an alternate approach that limits the cache residency # reporting only to processes that have write permissions to the file, so # we can fix the original information leak issue that way. It involves # _adding_ code rather than removing it, which is sad, but hey, at least # we haven't found any users that would find the restrictions # unacceptable. # # So revert the optimistic first approach to make room for that alternate # fix instead. # # Reported-by: Josh Snyder <joshs@netflix.com> # Cc: Jiri Kosina <jikos@kernel.org> # Cc: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org> # Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> # Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> # Cc: Kevin Easton <kevin@guarana.org> # Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> # Cc: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> # Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> # Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> # Cc: Kirill A.
