Right now, all new ZIP drivers are adapted to crypto_acomp APIs rather
than legacy crypto_comp APIs. Tradiontal ZIP drivers like lz4,lzo etc
have been also wrapped into acomp via scomp backend. But zswap.c is still
using the old APIs. That means zswap won't be able to work on any new ZIP
drivers in kernel.
This patch moves to use cryto_acomp APIs to fix the disconnected bridge
between new ZIP drivers and zswap. It is probably the first real user to
use acomp but perhaps not a good example to demonstrate how multiple acomp
requests can be executed in parallel in one acomp instance. frontswap is
doing page load and store page by page synchronously. swap_writepage()
depends on the completion of frontswap_store() to decide if it should call
__swap_writepage() to swap to disk.
However this patch creates multiple acomp instances, so multiple threads
running on multiple different cpus can actually do (de)compression
parallelly, leveraging the power of multiple ZIP hardware queues. This is
also consistent with frontswap's page management model.
The old zswap code uses atomic context and avoids the race conditions
while shared resources like zswap_dstmem are accessed. Here since acomp
can sleep, per-cpu mutex is used to replace preemption-disable.
While it is possible to make mm/page_io.c and mm/frontswap.c support async
(de)compression in some way, the entire design requires careful thinking
and performance evaluation. For the first step, the base with fixed
connection between ZIP drivers and zswap should be built.

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was
introduced by commit 1414c7f4f7 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero
poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing
content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again
on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray
writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the
contents on free without checking it back on alloc.
These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with
zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc).
Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on
alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes
sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant.

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY skips the check on page alloc whether the
poison pattern was corrupted, suggesting a use-after-free. The motivation
to introduce it in commit 8823b1dbc0 ("mm/page_poison.c: enable
PAGE_POISONING as a separate option") was to simply sanitize freed pages,
optimally together with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO.
These days we have an init_on_free=1 boot option, which makes this use
case of page poisoning redundant. For sanitizing, writing zeroes is
sufficient, there is pretty much no benefit from writing the 0xAA poison
pattern to freed pages, without checking it back on alloc. Thus, remove
this option and suggest init_on_free instead in the main config's help.

Page poisoning used to be incompatible with hibernation, as the state of
poisoned pages was lost after resume, thus enabling CONFIG_HIBERNATION
forces CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY. For the same reason, the
poisoning with zeroes variant CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO used to disable
hibernation. The latter restriction was removed by commit 1ad1410f63
("PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO") and
similarly for init_on_free by commit 18451f9f9e ("PM: hibernate: fix
crashes with init_on_free=1") by making sure free pages are cleared after
resume.
We can use the same mechanism to instead poison free pages with
PAGE_POISON after resume. This covers both zero and 0xAA patterns. Thus
we can remove the Kconfig restriction that disables page poison sanity
checking when hibernation is enabled.

Commit 11c9c7edae ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static
key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However,
the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call
with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled.
Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts
page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces
page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are
inlined.
The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does
the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers.
Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and
kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter.
Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of
debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support.
Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single
static key instead of having two static branches in
page_poisoning_enabled_static().

Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3.
I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends:
- interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on
the order of parameters (Patch 1)
- the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2)
- sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have
init_on_free (Patch 4)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we
have init_on_free (Patch 5)
This patch (of 5):
Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1
produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However,
as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for
init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later
on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their
parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the
respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is
called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent.
We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters
only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early
params have been processed. Introduce a new
init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related
debug_pagealloc processing there as well.
As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if
init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also
optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to
check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the
init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results
in a simpler and more effective code.

It is required to print 'count' of pages, along with the pages, passed to
cma_release to debug the cases of mismatched count value passed between
cma_alloc() and cma_release() from a code path.
As an example, consider the below scenario:
1) CMA pool size is 4MB and
2) User doing the erroneous step of allocating 2 pages but freeing 1
page in a loop from this CMA pool. The step 2 causes cma_alloc() to
return NULL at one point of time because of -ENOMEM condition.
And the current pr_debug logs is not giving the info about these types of
allocation patterns because of count value not being printed in
cma_release().
We are printing the count value in the trace logs, just extend the same to
pr_debug logs too.

The cma_mutex which protects alloc_contig_range() was first appeared in
commit 7ee793a62f ("cma: Remove potential deadlock situation"), at that
time, there is no guarantee the behavior of concurrency inside

After commit 2c7452a075 ("mm/page_isolation.c: make
start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated")
> However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic

The concurrency inside alloc_contig_range() was clarified.
Now we can find that hugepage and virtio call alloc_contig_range() without
any lock, thus cma_mutex is "redundant" in cma_alloc() now.

In the current implementation unmap_and_move() would return -ENOMEM if THP
migration is unsupported, then the THP will be split. If split is failed
just exit without trying to migrate other pages. It doesn't make too much
sense since there may be enough free memory to migrate other pages and
there may be a lot base pages on the list.
Return -ENOSYS to make consistent with hugetlb. And if THP split is
failed just skip and try other pages on the list.
Just skip the whole list and exit when free memory is really low.

The NUMA balancing skip shared exec base page. Since
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was introduced, there are probably shared exec
THP, so skip such THPs for NUMA balancing as well.
And Willy's regular filesystem THP support patches could create shared
exec THP wven without that config.
In addition, the page_is_file_lru() is used to tell if the page is file
cache or not, but it filters out shmem page. It sounds like a typical
usecase by putting executables in shmem to achieve performance gain via
using shmem-THP, so it sounds worth skipping migration for such case too.

When unmap_and_move{_huge_page}() returns !-EAGAIN and
!MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, the page would be put back to LRU or proper list if
it is non-LRU movable page. But, the callers always call
putback_movable_pages() to put the failed pages back later on, so it seems
not very efficient to put every single page back immediately, and the code
looks convoluted.
Put the failed page on a separate list, then splice the list to migrate
list when all pages are tried. It is the caller's responsibility to call
putback_movable_pages() to handle failures. This also makes the code
simpler and more readable.
After the change the rules are:
* Success: non hugetlb page will be freed, hugetlb page will be put
back
* -EAGAIN: stay on the from list
* -ENOMEM: stay on the from list
* Other errno: put on ret_pages list then splice to from list
The from list would be empty iff all pages are migrated successfully, it
was not so before. This has no impact to current existing callsites.

When migrating a zero page or pte_none() anonymous page to device private
memory, migrate_vma_setup() will initialize the src[] array with a NULL
PFN. This lets the device driver allocate device private memory and clear
it instead of DMAing a page of zeros over the device bus.
Since the source page didn't exist at the time, no struct page was locked
nor a migration PTE inserted into the CPU page tables. The actual PTE
insertion happens in migrate_vma_pages() when it tries to insert the
device private struct page PTE into the CPU page tables.
migrate_vma_pages() has to call the mmu notifiers again since another
device could fault on the same page before the page table locks are
acquired.
Allow device drivers to optimize the invalidation similar to
migrate_vma_setup() by calling mmu_notifier_range_init() which sets struct
mmu_notifier_range event type to MMU_NOTIFY_MIGRATE and the
migrate_pgmap_owner field.

Patch series "z3fold: stability / rt fixes".
Address z3fold stability issues under stress load, primarily in the
reclaim and free aspects. Besides, it fixes the locking problems that
were only seen in real-time kernel configuration.
This patch (of 3):
There used to be two places in the code where slots could be freed, namely
when freeing the last allocated handle from the slots and when releasing
the z3fold header these slots aree linked to. The logic to decide on
whether to free certain slots was complicated and error prone in both
functions and it led to failures in RT case.
To fix that, make free_handle() the single point of freeing slots.

The refactoring to kswapd() in commit e716f2eb24 ("mm, vmscan: prevent

assignment to reclaim_order into a dead store, as in all further paths,
reclaim_order will be assigned again before it is used.
make clang-analyzer on x86_64 tinyconfig caught my attention with:
mm/vmscan.c: warning: Although the value stored to 'reclaim_order' is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read from 'reclaim_order' [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
Compilers will detect this unneeded assignment and optimize this anyway.
So, the resulting binary is identical before and after this change.
Simplify the code and remove unneeded assignment to make clang-analyzer
happy.

On 2-node NUMA hosts we see bursts of kswapd reclaim and subsequent
pressure spikes and stalls from cache refaults while there is plenty of
free memory in the system.
Usually, kswapd is woken up when all eligible nodes in an allocation are
full. But the code related to watermark boosting can wake kswapd on one
full node while the other one is mostly empty. This may be justified to
fight fragmentation, but is currently unconditionally done whether
watermark boosting is occurring or not.
In our case, many of our workloads' throughput scales with available
memory, and pure utilization is a more tangible concern than trends
around longer-term fragmentation. As a result we generally disable
watermark boosting.
Wake kswapd only woken when watermark boosting is requested.

Migrations' failures are rather transient as they can happen due to
several reasons, e.g: high page refcount bump, mapping->migrate_page
failing etc. All meaning that at that time the page could not be

madvise_inject_error() uses get_user_pages_fast to translate the address
we specified to a page. After [1], we drop the extra reference count for
memory_failure() path. That commit says that memory_failure wanted to
keep the pin in order to take the page out of circulation.
The truth is that we need to keep the page pinned, otherwise the page
might be re-used after the put_page() and we can end up messing with
someone else's memory.
E.g:
CPU0
process X CPU1
madvise_inject_error
get_user_pages
put_page
page gets reclaimed
process Y allocates the page
memory_failure
// We mess with process Y memory
madvise() is meant to operate on a self address space, so messing with
pages that do not belong to us seems the wrong thing to do.
To avoid that, let us keep the page pinned for memory_failure as well.
Pages for DAX mappings will release this extra refcount in
memory_failure_dev_pagemap.

We can save us this extra checks with the new disable-pcplist mechanism
that is available with [1].
zone_pcplist_disable makes sure to 1) disable pcplists, so any page that
is freed up from that point onwards will end up in the buddy system and 2)
drain pcplists, so those pages that already in pcplists are spilled to
buddy.
With that, we can make a common entry point for grabbing a refcount from
both soft_offline and memory_failure paths that is guarded by
zone_pcplist_disable/zone_pcplist_enable.

Patch series "HWPoison: Refactor get page interface", v2.
This patch (of 3):
When we want to grab a refcount via get_any_page, we call __get_any_page
that calls get_hwpoison_page to get the actual refcount.
get_any_page() is only there because we have a sort of retry mechanism in
case the page we met is unknown to us or if we raced with an allocation.
Also __get_any_page() prints some messages about the page type in case the
page was a free page or the page type was unknown, but if anything, we
only need to print a message in case the pagetype was unknown, as that is
reporting an error down the chain.
Let us merge get_any_page() and __get_any_page(), and let the message be
printed in soft_offline_page. While we are it, we can also remove the
'pfn' parameter as it is no longer used.

memory_failure and soft_offline_path paths now drain pcplists by calling
get_hwpoison_page.
memory_failure flags the page as HWPoison before, so that page cannot
longer go into a pcplist, and soft_offline_page only flags a page as
HWPoison if 1) we took the page off a buddy freelist 2) the page was
in-use and we migrated it 3) was a clean pagecache.
Because of that, a page cannot longer be poisoned and be in a pcplist.

The crux of the matter is that historically we left poisoned pages in the
buddy system because we have some checks in place when allocating a page
that are gatekeeper for poisoned pages. Unfortunately, we do have other
users (e.g: compaction [1]) that scan buddy freelists and try to get a
page from there without checking whether the page is HWPoison.
As I stated already, I think it is fundamentally wrong to keep HWPoison
pages within the buddy systems, checks in place or not.
Let us fix this the same way we did for soft_offline [2], taking the page
off the buddy freelist so it is completely unreachable.
Note that this is fairly simple to trigger, as we only need to poison free
buddy pages (madvise MADV_HWPOISON) and then run some sort of memory
stress system.
Just for a matter of reference, I put a dump_page() in compaction_alloc()
to trigger for HWPoison patches:
page:0000000012b2982b refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x1 pfn:0x1d5db

After that, if e.g: a process faults in the page, it will get killed
unexpectedly.
Fix it by containing the page immediatelly.
Besides that, two more changes can be noticed:
* MF_DELAYED no longer suits as we are fixing the issue by containing
the page immediately, so it does no longer rely on the allocation-time
checks to stop HWPoison to be handed over.
gain unless it is unpoisoned, so we fixed the situation.
Because of that, let us use MF_RECOVERED from now on.
* The second block that handles PageBuddy pages is no longer needed:
We call shake_page and then check whether the page is Buddy
because shake_page calls drain_all_pages, which sends pcp-pages back to
the buddy freelists, so we could have a chance to handle free pages.
Currently, get_hwpoison_page already calls drain_all_pages, and we call
get_hwpoison_page right before coming here, so we should be on the safe
side.

This patch (of 4):
A page with 0-refcount and !PageBuddy could perfectly be a pcppage.
Currently, we bail out with an error if we encounter such a page, meaning
that we do not handle pcppages neither from hard-offline nor from
soft-offline path.
Fix this by draining pcplists whenever we find this kind of page and retry
the check again. It might be that pcplists have been spilled into the
buddy allocator and so we can handle it.

When we free a page whose order is very close to MAX_ORDER and greater
than pageblock_order, it wastes some CPU cycles to increase max_order to
MAX_ORDER one by one and check the pageblock migratetype of that page
repeatedly especially when MAX_ORDER is much larger than pageblock_order.
We also should not be checking migratetype of buddy when "order ==
MAX_ORDER - 1" as the buddy pfn may be invalid, so adjust the condition.
With the new check, we don't need the max_order check anymore, so we
replace it.
Also adjust max_order initialization so that it's lower by one than
previously, which makes the code hopefully more clear.

backwards through all preceding zones, setting
lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = sum(managed pages of higher zones) /

If the lower zone has no managed pages or its ratio is 0 then all of its

As these arrays are only assigned here and all lowmem_reserve[] entries
for index < this zone's index are implicitly assumed to be 0 (as these are
specifically output in show_free_areas() and zoneinfo_show_print() for

too. This patch avoids zeroing unnecessarily.
Rather than iterating through zones and setting lowmem_reserve[j] for each
lower zone this patch reverse the process and populates each zone's
lowmem_reserve[] values in ascending order.
This clarifies what is going on especially in the case of zero managed
pages or ratio which is now explicitly shown to clear these values.

In the booting phase if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set,
we have following callchain:
start_kernel
...
mm_init
mem_init
memblock_free_all
reset_all_zones_managed_pages
free_low_memory_core_early
...
buffer_init
nr_free_buffer_pages

...
files_maxfiles_init
It's clear that buffer_init depends on zone->managed_pages, but it's reset
in reset_all_zones_managed_pages after that pages are readded into
zone->managed_pages, but when buffer_init runs this process is half done
and most of them will finally be added till deferred_init_memmap done. In
large memory couting of nr_free_buffer_pages drifts too much, also
drifting from kernels to kernels on same hardware.
Fix is simple, it delays buffer_init run till deferred_init_memmap all
done.
But as corrected by this patch, max_buffer_heads becomes very large, the
value is roughly as many as 4 times of totalram_pages, formula:
max_buffer_heads = nrpages * (10%) * (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct
buffer_head));
Say in a 64GB memory box we have 16777216 pages, then max_buffer_heads
turns out to be roughly 67,108,864. In common cases, should a buffer_head
be mapped to one page/block(4KB)? So max_buffer_heads never exceeds
totalram_pages. IMO it's likely to make buffer_heads_over_limit bool
value alwasy false, then make codes 'if (buffer_heads_over_limit)' test in
vmscan unnecessary.
So this patch will change the original behavior related to
buffer_heads_over_limit in vmscan since we used a half done value of
zone->managed_pages before, or should we use a smaller factor(<10%) in
previous formula.
akpm: I think this is OK - the max_buffer_heads code is only needed on
highmem machines, to prevent ZONE_NORMAL from being consumed by large
amounts of buffer_heads attached to highmem pagecache. This problem will
not occur on 64-bit machines, so this feature's non-functionality on such
machines is a feature, not a bug.

commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages
leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be
initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation.
However, the same logic is currently not applied to alloc_contig_pages():
allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared with init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=0. Let's also properly clear pages on that allocation path.
To achieve that, let's move clearing into post_alloc_hook(). This will
not only affect alloc_contig_pages() allocations but also any pages used
as migration target in compaction code via compaction_alloc().
While this sounds sub-optimal, it's the very same handling as when
allocating migration targets via alloc_migration_target() - pages will get
properly cleared with init_on_free=1. In case we ever want to optimize
migration in that regard, we should tackle all such migration users - if
we believe migration code can be fully trusted.
With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some cases. One
example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or allocated
dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right thing to do
(and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as discussed in:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com
This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1
- All CMA allocations will be cleared
- Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared
- virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is
suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where
all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well.
- Pages isolated for compaction will be cleared

Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress
because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page
isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored
on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by
repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 9683182612
("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline").
David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that
callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to
repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely
during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them.
To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we
can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any
pcplist addition will be immediately flushed.
The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining
pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining
will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read
the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that
have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they
are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on
pcplists in zones where isolation happens.
This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions
that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and
after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages.
Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where
pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist
that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the
drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this
option in zone_pcp_disable().
As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are
disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it
in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of
zone_pcp_disable()/enable().
Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().
