We waste sizeof(swp_entry_t) for zswap header when using zsmalloc as

Add zpool_evictable() to detect if zpool is potentially evictable, and
use it in zswap to avoid waste memory for zswap header.

During our recent testing with fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED), we find that if
given offset/length is not page-aligned, the last page will not be
discarded. The tool we use is vmtouch (https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/),
we map a 10KB-sized file into memory and then try to run this tool to
evict the whole file mapping, but the last single page always remains
staying in the memory:
$./vmtouch -e test_10K
Files: 1
Directories: 0
Evicted Pages: 3 (12K)
Elapsed: 2.1e-05 seconds
$./vmtouch test_10K
Files: 1
Directories: 0
Resident Pages: 1/3 4K/12K 33.3%
Elapsed: 5.5e-05 seconds
However when we test with an older kernel, say 3.10, this problem is
gone. So we wonder if this is a regression:
$./vmtouch -e test_10K
Files: 1
Directories: 0
Evicted Pages: 3 (12K)
Elapsed: 8.2e-05 seconds
$./vmtouch test_10K
Files: 1
Directories: 0
Resident Pages: 0/3 0/12K 0% <-- partial page also discarded
Elapsed: 5e-05 seconds
After digging a little bit into this problem, we find it seems not a
regression. Not discarding partial page is likely to be on purpose
according to commit 441c228f81 ("mm: fadvise: document the
fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) behaviour for partial pages") written by Mel
Gorman. He explained why partial pages should be preserved instead of
being discarded when using fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED).
However, the interesting part is that the actual code did NOT work as
the same as it was described, the partial page was still discarded
anyway, due to a calculation mistake of `end_index' passed to
invalidate_mapping_pages(). This mistake has not been fixed until
recently, that's why we fail to reproduce our problem in old kernels.
The fix is done in commit 18aba41cbf ("mm/fadvise.c: do not discard
partial pages with POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED") by Oleg Drokin.
Back to the original testing, our problem becomes that there is a
special case that, if the page-unaligned `endbyte' is also the end of
file, it is not necessary at all to preserve the last partial page, as
we all know no one else will use the rest of it. It should be safe
enough if we just discard the whole page. So we add an EOF check in
this patch.
We also find a poosbile real world issue in mainline kernel. Assume
such scenario: A userspace backup application want to backup a huge
amount of small files (<4k) at once, the developer might (I guess) want
to use fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) to save memory. However, FADV_DONTNEED
won't really happen since the only page mapped is a partial page, and
kernel will preserve it. Our patch also fixes this problem, since we
know the endbyte is EOF, so we discard it.
Here is a simple reproducer to reproduce and verify each scenario we
described above:

Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects
address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and
__isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows
CPU1 CPU2
truncate(inode) __isolate_lru_page()
...
truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
delete_from_page_cache(page)
spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
__delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
page_cache_tree_delete(..)
... mapping = page_mapping(page);
page->mapping = NULL;
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
put_page(page)
if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space
if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage)
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.
The race is theoretically possible but unlikely. Before the
delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is
likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only
caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page. Even if the race
occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window
with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual
machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical
window.
This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the
page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not
acquired. There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a
side-effect to prevent mapping being freed. However, I do not like the
solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and
it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

Nothing actually calls userfaultfd_file_create() besides the

anon_inode_getfile(). Do the same in resolve_userfault_fork() as well.

memfd_add_seals(). write() doesn't exist for hugetlbfs.
- SHRINK: added similar check as shmem_setattr()
- GROW: added similar check as shmem_setattr() & shmem_fallocate()
Except write() operation that doesn't exist with hugetlbfs, that should
make sealing as close as it can be to shmem support.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3.
Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he
didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have
shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another
process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables
with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now
instead for convenience and security reasons.
This patch (of 9):
The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only. And no danger in
removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

The "third double word block" isn't on 32-bit systems. The layout looks
like this:
unsigned long flags;
struct address_space *mapping
pgoff_t index;
atomic_t _mapcount;
atomic_t _refcount;
which is 32 bytes on 64-bit, but 20 bytes on 32-bit. Nobody is trying to
use the fact that it's double-word aligned today, so just remove the
misleading claims.

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout
rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this.
The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so
the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to
be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct {
union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout,
but is easier to read.

This uses the new annotation to determine if an mm has mmu notifiers
with blockable invalidate range callbacks to avoid oom reaping.
Otherwise, the callbacks are used around unmap_page_range().

Commit 4d4bbd8526 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu
notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous
memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers
registered.
The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}()
around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom
killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not
be possible without reaping.
That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have
blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a
"flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that
these callbacks do not block.
The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as
after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom
victim.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before
scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process
which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in
uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a
long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the
below khugepaged hung issue:
INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the
semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to
scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so
that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then
khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the
current round full_scan.
And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a
little bit.

mark the pmd invalid early. This can result in us blocking access to

Patch series "Do not lose dirty bit on THP pages", v4.
Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose
dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but
before set_pmd_at().
The bug can lead to data loss, but the race window is tiny and I haven't
seen any reports that suggested that it happens in reality. So I don't
think it worth sending it to stable.
Unfortunately, there's no way to address the issue in a generic way. We
need to fix all architectures that support THP one-by-one.
All architectures that have THP supported have to provide atomic
pmdp_invalidate() that returns previous value.
If generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() is used, architecture
needs to provide atomic pmdp_estabish().
pmdp_estabish() is not used out-side generic implementation of
pmdp_invalidate() so far, but I think this can change in the future.
This patch (of 12):
This is an implementation of pmdp_establish() that is only suitable for
an architecture that doesn't have hardware dirty/accessed bits. In this
case we can't race with CPU which sets these bits and non-atomic
approach is fine.

We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the
pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can
store it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have
two or six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives
us space to cram in an extra page.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that. That's a sign of a bad interface.
Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

If THP migration is enabled, for a VMA handled by userfaultfd, consider
the following situation,
do_page_fault()
__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page()
handle_userfault()
userfault_msg()
/* a huge page is allocated and mapped at fault address */
/* the huge page is under migration, leaves migration entry
in page table */
userfaultfd_must_wait()
/* return true because !pmd_present() */
/* may wait in loop until fatal signal */
That is, it may be possible for userfaultfd_must_wait() encounters a PMD
entry which is !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(). In the current
implementation, we will wait for such PMD entries, which may cause
unnecessary waiting, and potential soft lockup.
This is fixed via avoiding to wait when !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(),
only wait when pmd_none().
This may be not a problem in practice, because userfaultfd_must_wait()
is always called with mm->mmap_sem read-locked. mremap() will
write-lock mm->mmap_sem. And UFFDIO_COPY doesn't support to copy THP
mapping. But the change introduced still makes the code more correct,
and makes the PMD and PTE code more consistent.

If start_code / end_code pointers are screwed then "VmExe" could be
bigger than total executable virtual memory and "VmLib" becomes
negative:
VmExe: 294320 kB
VmLib: 18446744073709327564 kB
VmExe and VmLib documented as text segment and shared library code size.
Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of
executable and not writable and not stack areas.
I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole
world inside. For it start_code .. end_code range also covers one of
rodata sections. Probably this is bug in customized linker, elf loader
or both.
Anyway CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE allows to change these pointers, thus
we cannot trust them without validation.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303 ("Allow
huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
acceptable to use the zone back then.
Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to
be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
movable zones.
