Commit 63f53dea0c ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too
long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up
problem caused by memory allocation stalls. But this commit reverts it,
for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many
threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory
allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is
difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous
warning approach.
Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the
context of a thread which called console_unlock(). printk() should be
able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues
appending to printk() buffer.
Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting
for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process()
is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force
oom_kill_process() loop inside printk(). As a result, warn_alloc()
significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process()
from making forward progress.
---------- Pseudo code start ----------
Before warn_alloc() was introduced:
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
}
goto retry;
After warn_alloc() was introduced:
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
} else if (waited_for_10seconds()) {
atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
}
goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------
Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds,
unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same
time. Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing
almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU
resource. Therefore, this situation can be simplified like
---------- Pseudo code start ----------
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
} else {
atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
}
goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------
when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log.
One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to
make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or
warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk()
(either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress.
Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable
form.
---------- Pseudo code start ----------
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock);
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
} else {
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) {
atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
}
}
goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------
But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to
introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain
useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and
warn_alloc().
Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g. too late [1],
too frequent [2], overlooked [3]). As far as I know, warn_alloc() never
helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong".
I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information
during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g. the owner of
oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions
(e.g. turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump
of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose).
This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g. OOM lockup due to
unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request.
But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit
warning. Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

Since commit 97a16fc82a ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for
order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order
allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for
ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page
of any migratetype. The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate
from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't.
However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return
true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to
CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list. Since the
allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able
to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive.
The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one.
Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct. There also
shouldn't be a performance tradeoff here.

lru_add_drain_all() is not required by mlock() and it will drain
everything that has been cached at the time mlock is called. And that
is not really related to the memory which will be faulted in (and
cached) and mlocked by the syscall itself.
If anything lru_add_drain_all() should be called _after_ pages have been
mlocked and faulted in but even that is not strictly needed because
those pages would get to the appropriate LRUs lazily during the reclaim
path. Moreover follow_page_pte (gup) will drain the local pcp LRU
cache.
On larger machines the overhead of lru_add_drain_all() in mlock() can be
significant when mlocking data already in memory. We have observed high
latency in mlock() due to lru_add_drain_all() when the users were
mlocking in memory tmpfs files.

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).
Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
This is system default setting.

Commit 197e7e5213 ("Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks") fixed
a security issue I reported in the move_pages syscall, and made it so
that you can't act on set-uid processes unless you have the
CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability.
Unify the access check logic of migrate_pages to match the new behavior
of move_pages. We discussed this a bit in the security@ list and
thought it'd be good for consistency even though there's no evident
security impact. The NUMA node access checks are left intact and
require CAP_SYS_NICE as before.

rmqueue_bulk() fills an empty pcplist with pages from the free list. It
tries to preserve increasing order by pfn to the caller, because it
leads to better performance with some I/O controllers, as explained in
commit e084b2d95e ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when
__GFP_COLD is set").
To preserve the order, it's sufficient to add pages to the tail of the
list as they are retrieved. The current code instead adds to the head
of the list, but then updates the list head pointer to the last added
page, in each step. This does result in the same order, but is
needlessly confusing and potentially wasteful, with no apparent benefit.
This patch simplifies the code and adjusts comment accordingly.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.
The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page
should be more obvious.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used
multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then
releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU
pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on
those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the
first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being
walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race,
the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs
costs.
This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given
lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec
structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have
many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently.

During truncate each entry in a pagevec is checked to see if it is an
exceptional entry and if so, the shadow entry is cleaned up. This is
potentially expensive as multiple entries for a mapping locks/unlocks
the tree lock. This batches the operation such that any exceptional
entries removed from a pagevec only acquire the mapping tree lock once.
The corner case where this is more expensive is where there is only one
exceptional entry but this is unlikely due to temporal locality and how
it affects LRU ordering. Note that for truncations of small files
created recently, this patch should show no gain because it only batches
the handling of exceptional entries.

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.
This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected. The
differences in bonnie are all within the noise which is not surprising
given the impact on the microbenchmark.
radix_tree_update_node_t is a callback for some radix operations that
optionally passes in a private field. The only user of the callback is
workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2.
This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache
truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but
saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon
his work.
A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each
machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the
differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is
slower than a local node. The workloads checked were
o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny
o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large
o reaim-io disk workfile
o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results)
o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size
o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM
reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does
not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other
regressions. They will not be reported further.
The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number
of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The
"tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in
memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache.
The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the
size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and
working set shadow entries in the radix tree.
Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are
optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a
negligible performance impact.
The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie
delete options, the main comparison is

Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where
as this series on top gains another 11%. This is from a different
machine than the data in the changelogs but the detailed data was not
collected as there was no substantial change in v2.
This patch (of 8):
Freeing a list of pages current enables/disables IRQs for each page
freed. This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations --
preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing. This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

Currently we remove pages from the radix tree one by one. To speed up
page cache truncation, lock several pages at once and free them in one
go. This allows us to batch radix tree operations in a more efficient
way and also save round-trips on mapping->tree_lock. As a result we
gain about 20% speed improvement in page cache truncation.
Data from a simple benchmark timing 10000 truncates of 1024 pages (on
ext4 on ramdisk but the filesystem is barely visible in the profiles).

Factor out page freeing from delete_from_page_cache() into a separate
function. We will need to call the same when batching pagecache
deletion operations.
invalidate_complete_page2() and replace_page_cache_page() might want to
call this function as well however they currently don't seem to handle
THPs so it's unnecessary for them to take the hit of checking whether a
page is THP or not.

Patch series "Speed up page cache truncation", v1.
When rebasing our enterprise distro to a newer kernel (from 4.4 to 4.12)
we have noticed a regression in bonnie++ benchmark when deleting files.
Eventually we have tracked this down to a fact that page cache
truncation got slower by about 10%. There were both gains and losses in
the above interval of kernels but we have been able to identify that
commit 83929372f6 ("filemap: prepare find and delete operations for
huge pages") caused about 10% regression on its own.
After some investigation it didn't seem easily possible to fix the
regression while maintaining the THP in page cache functionality so
we've decided to optimize the page cache truncation path instead to make
up for the change. This series is a result of that effort.
Patch 1 is an easy speedup of cancel_dirty_page(). Patches 2-6 refactor
page cache truncation code so that it is easier to batch radix tree
operations. Patch 7 implements batching of deletes from the radix tree
which more than makes up for the original regression.
This patch (of 7):
cancel_dirty_page() does quite some work even for clean pages (fetching
of mapping, locking of memcg, atomic bit op on page flags) so it
accounts for ~2.5% of cost of truncation of a clean page. That is not
much but still dumb for something we don't need at all. Check whether a
page is actually dirty and avoid any work if not.

__rmqueue(), __rmqueue_fallback(), __rmqueue_smallest() and
__rmqueue_cma_fallback() are all in page allocator's hot path and better
be finished as soon as possible. One way to make them faster is by making
them inline. But as Andrew Morton and Andi Kleen pointed out:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1252https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1279
To make sure they are inlined, we should use __always_inline for them.
With the will-it-scale/page_fault1/process benchmark, when using nr_cpu
processes to stress buddy, the results for will-it-scale.processes with
and without the patch are:

gcc-6.2.0 14574099 15349204 +5.3%
The above 4 compilers are used because I've done the tests through
Intel's Linux Kernel Performance(LKP) infrastructure and they are the
available compilers there.
The benefit being less on 4 sockets machine is due to the lock
contention there(perf-profile/native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath=81%) is
less severe than on the 2 sockets machine(85%).
What the benchmark does is: it forks nr_cpu processes and then each
process does the following:
1 mmap() 128M anonymous space;
2 writes to each page there to trigger actual page allocation;
3 munmap() it.
in a loop.

vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory at
its call sites for everything except struct pages. Struct page memory
is zero'd by struct page initialization.
Replace allocators in sparse-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version.
So, we will get the performance improvement by zeroing the memory in
parallel when struct pages are zeroed.
Add struct page zeroing as a part of initialization of other fields in
__init_single_page().

Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory
(because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved.
Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by
going through __init_single_page().
In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not
contain any data. One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags
if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM,
SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS).
One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally
reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the
exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e. KVM).
Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during
allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly.
The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator:
for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end)
Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages
explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page().
===
Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing:
Run tested on qemu with the following arguments:
-enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2
This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages.
They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255].
Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does
not reserve [159, 255] ones.
e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are
available:
[1 , 158]
[256, 130783]
Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing!
Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039]
pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are.
However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct
pages is with memory hotplug. Because, that path operates at 2M
boundaries (section_nr). And checks if 2M range of pages is hot
removable. It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M
boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is
created), and checks if that section is hot removable. In this case
start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0. Later pfn is converted
to struct page, and some fields are checked. Now, if we do not zero
struct pages, we get unpredictable results.
In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all
vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test
without this patch applied:

* A new variant of memblock_virt_alloc_* allocations:
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw()
- Does not zero the allocated memory
- Does not panic if request cannot be satisfied
* optimize early system hash allocations
Clients can call alloc_large_system_hash() with flag: HASH_ZERO to
specify that memory that was allocated for system hash needs to be
zeroed, otherwise the memory does not need to be zeroed, and client will
initialize it.
If memory does not need to be zero'd, call the new
memblock_virt_alloc_raw() interface, and thus improve the boot
performance.
* debug for raw alloctor
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, this patch sets all the memory that is
returned by memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to ones to ensure that no
places excpect zeroed memory.

Patch series "complete deferred page initialization", v12.
SMP machines can benefit from the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT config
option, which defers initializing struct pages until all cpus have been
started so it can be done in parallel.
However, this feature is sub-optimal, because the deferred page
initialization code expects that the struct pages have already been
zeroed, and the zeroing is done early in boot with a single thread only.
Also, we access that memory and set flags before struct pages are
initialized. All of this is fixed in this patchset.
In this work we do the following:
- Never read access struct page until it was initialized
- Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized
- Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization

This patch (of 11):
deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later
in boot by slave CPUs. This patch simplifies and optimizes this
function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below).
The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas
instead of all configured memory. Thus, we do not have to check if the
struct page has already been initialized.
=====
In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are
initialized we have a check like this:
if (page->flags) {
VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone);
goto free_range;
}
This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been
initialized. It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed,
and the only way flags are not zero if it went through
__init_single_page() before. But, once we change the current behavior
and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust
anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized. This patch
fixes this.
The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free
memory ranges provided by memblock.
Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is
merged:
=====
This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in
zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined.
In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this:
if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn)
goto free_range;
Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn'
advances. Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems
with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions. I have
fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary
operations when we free the current set of pages.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.
As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.
KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream.
We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).
The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.
Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.
This patch (of 4):
Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level,
but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to
page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the
information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too.
This patch switches page table accounting to single counter.
mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use
bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree
may be different.
The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD
reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As
alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.)
OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes
instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds.
Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we
now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have
different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables
are less than a page in size.
The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page
table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be
caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate
significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory
cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't
account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE.
We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit
dc6c9a35b6 ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process").
Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page
tables.
The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

Patch series "Ranged pagevec tagged lookup", v3.
In this series I provide a ranged variant of pagevec_lookup_tag() and
use it in places where it makes sense. This series removes some common
code and it also has a potential for speeding up some operations
similarly as for pagevec_lookup_range() (but for now I can think of only
artificial cases where this happens).
This patch (of 16):
Implement a variant of find_get_pages_tag() that stops iterating at
given index. Lots of users of this function (through pagevec_lookup())
actually want a range lookup and all of them are currently open-coding
this.
Also create corresponding pagevec_lookup_range_tag() function.

Memory allocations can happen before the swap_slots cache initialization
is completed during cpu bring up. If we are low on memory, we could
call get_swap_page() and access swap_slots_cache before it is fully
initialized.
Add a check in get_swap_page() for initialized swap_slots_cache to
prevent this condition. Similar check already exists in free_swap_slot.
Also annotate the checks to indicate the likely condition.
We also added a memory barrier to make sure that the locks
initialization are done before the assignment of cache->slots and
cache->slots_ret pointers. This ensures the assumption that it is safe
to acquire the slots cache locks and use the slots cache when the
corresponding cache->slots or cache->slots_ret pointers are non null.

This is an optimization patch that only affect mmu_notifier users which
rely on the invalidate_range() callback. This patch avoids calling that
callback twice in a row from inside __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
Existing pattern (before this patch):
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
pte/pmd/pud_clear_flush_notify()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
New pattern (after this patch):
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
pte/pmd/pud_clear_flush_notify()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end()
We call the invalidate_range callback after clearing the page table
under the page table lock and we skip the call to invalidate_range
inside the __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() function.

This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback
which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ...
and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected
by it.
When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under
the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary
in all cases.
This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all
those cases explaining why.
Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this:
For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when
device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page
table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases
when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table
lock when clearing a pte/pmd:
A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault
on zero page, __replace_page(), ...)
Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write
to a page that might now be used by something completely different.
Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence
to happen:
- take page table lock
- clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify())
- set page table entry to point to new page
If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting
the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for
the device.
Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/
PASID):
Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we
assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too).
[Time N] -----------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA}
CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB}
[Time N+1] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+2] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+4] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+5] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page}
So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a
notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value
for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory
ordering for the device.
When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected
page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This
is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right
after releasing page table lock before calling
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.

Use BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) in zs_map_object(). This is not a new
BUG_ON(), it's always been there, but was recently changed to
VM_BUG_ON(). There are several problems there. First, we use use
per-CPU mappings both in zsmalloc and in zram, and interrupt may easily
corrupt those buffers. Second, and more importantly, we believe it's
possible to start leaking sensitive information. Consider the following
case:
-> process P
swap out
zram
per-cpu mapping CPU1
compress page A
-> IRQ
swap out
zram
per-cpu mapping CPU1
compress page B
write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool
iret
-> process P
write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool [*]
return
* so we store overwritten data that actually belongs to another
page (task) and potentially contains sensitive data. And when
process P will page fault it's going to read (swap in) that
other task's data.

We have a hardcoded 120s timeout after which the memory offline fails
basically since the hot remove has been introduced. This is essentially
a policy implemented in the kernel. Moreover there is no way to adjust
the timeout and so we are sometimes facing memory offline failures if
the system is under a heavy memory pressure or very intensive CPU
workload on large machines.
It is not very clear what purpose the timeout actually serves. The
offline operation is interruptible by a signal so if userspace wants
some timeout based termination this can be done trivially by sending a
signal.
If there is a strong usecase to do this from the kernel then we should
do it properly and have a it tunable from the userspace with the timeout
disabled by default along with the explanation who uses it and for what
purporse.

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: redefine memory offline retry logic", v2.
While testing memory hotplug on a large 4TB machine we have noticed that
memory offlining is just too eager to fail. The primary reason is that
the retry logic is just too easy to give up. We have 4 ways out of the
offline
- we have a permanent failure (isolation or memory notifiers fail,
or hugetlb pages cannot be dropped)
- userspace sends a signal
- a hardcoded 120s timeout expires
- page migration fails 5 times
This is way too convoluted and it doesn't scale very well. We have seen
both temporary migration failures as well as 120s being triggered.
After removing those restrictions we were able to pass stress testing
during memory hot remove without any other negative side effects
observed. Therefore I suggest dropping both hard coded policies. I
couldn't have found any specific reason for them in the changelog. I
neither didn't get any response [1] from Kamezawa. If we need some
upper bound - e.g. timeout based - then we should have a proper and
user defined policy for that. In any case there should be a clear use
case when introducing it.
This patch (of 2):
Memory offlining can fail too eagerly under heavy memory pressure.
page:ffffea22a646bd00 count:255 mapcount:252 mapping:ffff88ff926c9f38 index:0x3
flags: 0x9855fe40010048(uptodate|active|mappedtodisk)
page dumped because: isolation failed
page->mem_cgroup:ffff8801cd662000
memory offlining [mem 0x18b580000000-0x18b5ffffffff] failed
Isolation has failed here because the page is not on LRU. Most probably
because it was on the pcp LRU cache or it has been removed from the LRU
already but it hasn't been freed yet. In both cases the page doesn't
look non-migrable so retrying more makes sense.
__offline_pages seems rather cluttered when it comes to the retry logic.
We have 5 retries at maximum and a timeout. We could argue whether the
timeout makes sense but failing just because of a race when somebody
isoltes a page from LRU or puts it on a pcp LRU lists is just wrong. It
only takes it to race with a process which unmaps some pages and remove
them from the LRU list and we can fail the whole offline because of
something that is a temporary condition and actually not harmful for the
offline.
Please note that unmovable pages should be already excluded during
start_isolate_page_range. We could argue that has_unmovable_pages is
racy and MIGRATE_MOVABLE check doesn't provide any hard guarantee either
but kernel zones (aka < ZONE_MOVABLE) will very likely detect unmovable
pages in most cases and movable zone shouldn't contain unmovable pages
at all. Some of those pages might be pinned but not for ever because
that would be a bug on its own. In any case the context is still
interruptible and so the userspace can easily bail out when the
operation takes too long. This is certainly better behavior than a
hardcoded retry loop which is racy.
Fix this by removing the max retry count and only rely on the timeout
resp. interruption by a signal from the userspace. Also retry rather
than fail when check_pages_isolated sees some !free pages because those
could be a result of the race as well.

Reserved pages should be completely ignored by the core mm because they
have a special meaning for their owners. has_unmovable_pages doesn't
check those so we rely on other tests (reference count, or PageLRU) to
fail on such pages. Althought this happens to work it is safer to
simply check for those explicitly and do not rely on the owner of the
page to abuse those fields for special purposes.
Please note that this is more of a further fortification of the code
rahter than a fix of an existing issue.

Joonsoo has noticed that "mm: drop migrate type checks from
has_unmovable_pages" would break CMA allocator because it relies on
has_unmovable_pages returning false even for CMA pageblocks which in
fact don't have to be movable:
alloc_contig_range
start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
has_unmovable_pages
This is a result of the code sharing between CMA and memory hotplug
while each one has a different idea of what has_unmovable_pages should
return. This is unfortunate but fixing it properly would require a lot
of code duplication.
Fix the issue by introducing the requested migrate type argument and
special case MIGRATE_CMA case where CMA page blocks are handled
properly. This will work for memory hotplug because it requires
MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

Michael has noticed that the memory offline tries to migrate kernel code
pages when doing
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/online
The current implementation will fail the operation after several failed
page migration attempts but we shouldn't even attempt to migrate that
memory and fail right away because this memory is clearly not
migrateable. This will become a real problem when we drop the retry
loop counter resp. timeout.
The real problem is in has_unmovable_pages in fact. We should fail if
there are any non migrateable pages in the area. In orther to guarantee
that remove the migrate type checks because MIGRATE_MOVABLE is not
guaranteed to contain only migrateable pages. It is merely a heuristic.
Similarly MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the page allocator doesn't
allocate any non-migrateable pages from the block but CMA allocations
themselves are unlikely to migrateable. Therefore remove both checks.

When a page fault occurs for a swap entry, the physical swap readahead
(not the VMA base swap readahead) may readahead several swap entries
after the fault swap entry. The readahead algorithm calculates some of
the swap entries to readahead via increasing the offset of the fault
swap entry without checking whether they are beyond the end of the swap
device and it relys on the __swp_swapcount() and swapcache_prepare() to
check it. Although __swp_swapcount() checks for the swap entry passed
in, it will complain with the error message as follow for the expected
invalid swap entry. This may make the end users confused.
swap_info_get: Bad swap offset entry 0200f8a7
To fix the false error message, the swap entry checking is added in
swapin_readahead() to avoid to pass the out-of-bound swap entries and
the swap entry reserved for the swap header to __swp_swapcount() and
swapcache_prepare().

When SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swapped-in pages are shared by several
processes, it can cause unnecessary memory wastage by skipping swap
cache. Because, with swapin fault by read, they could share a page if
the page were in swap cache. Thus, it avoids allocating same content
new pages.
This patch makes the swapcache skipping work only if the swap pte is
non-sharable.

With fast swap storage, the platforms want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.
The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4
decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be
bigger in nvdimm.
This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the
swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device. It
enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from
2.41sec to 1.64sec).

When slub_debug=O is set. It is possible to clear debug flags for an

These caches will generate their "unique IDs" by create_unique_id(), but

This matters at least for the mincore syscall, which will otherwise copy

probably also a correctness error for /proc/$pid/pagemap, but I haven't
tested that.
Removing the `walk->hugetlb_entry` condition in walk_hugetlb_range() has
no effect because the caller already checks for that.
This only reports holes in hugetlb ranges to callers who have specified
a hugetlb_entry callback.

fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock
can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from
virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock.
To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside the lock.
Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa:
In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&vb->balloon_lock) is called in order to
serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(),
alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is
called with vb->balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE]
implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY
is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody
else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via
virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via
out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock
mutex. Since vb->balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup.

feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)
- Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)

One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

We could differentiate the retval to userland to represent a SIGBUS like
a page fault would do (vs SIGSEGV), but it doesn't seem very useful and
we'd need to pick a random retval as there's no meaningful syscall
retval that would differentiate from SIGSEGV and SIGBUS, there's just

The mmap(2) syscall suffers from the ABI anti-pattern of not validating
unknown flags. However, proposals like MAP_SYNC need a mechanism to
define new behavior that is known to fail on older kernels without the
support. Define a new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE flag pattern that is
guaranteed to fail on all legacy mmap implementations.
It is worth noting that the original proposal was for a standalone
MAP_VALIDATE flag. However, when that could not be supported by all
archs Linus observed:
I see why you *think* you want a bitmap. You think you want
a bitmap because you want to make MAP_VALIDATE be part of MAP_SYNC
etc, so that people can do
ret = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED
| MAP_SYNC, fd, 0);
and "know" that MAP_SYNC actually takes.
And I'm saying that whole wish is bogus. You're fundamentally
depending on special semantics, just make it explicit. It's already
not portable, so don't try to make it so.
Rename that MAP_VALIDATE as MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, make it have a value
of 0x3, and make people do
ret = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE
| MAP_SYNC, fd, 0);
and then the kernel side is easier too (none of that random garbage
playing games with looking at the "MAP_VALIDATE bit", but just another
case statement in that map type thing.
Boom. Done.
Similar to ->fallocate() we also want the ability to validate the
support for new flags on a per ->mmap() 'struct file_operations'
instance basis. Towards that end arrange for flags to be generically
validated against a mmap_supported_flags exported by 'struct
file_operations'. By default all existing flags are implicitly
supported, but new flags require MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE and
per-instance-opt-in.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Backmerge tag 'v4.14-rc7' into drm-next
Linux 4.14-rc7
Requested by Ben Skeggs for nouveau to avoid major conflicts,
and things were getting a bit conflicty already, esp around amdgpu
reverts.
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

// WRITE_ONCE()

However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and

distinction is critical to correct operation.
It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the mm code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

Size of the mem_section[] array depends on the size of the physical address space.
In preparation for boot-time switching between paging modes on x86-64
we need to make the allocation of mem_section[] dynamic, because otherwise
we waste a lot of RAM: with CONFIG_NODE_SHIFT=10, mem_section[] size is 32kB
for 4-level paging and 2MB for 5-level paging mode.
The patch allocates the array on the first call to sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions().

Add an option for pcpu_alloc() to support __GFP_NOWARN flag.
Currently, we always throw a warning when size or alignment
is unsupported (and also dump stack on failed allocation
requests). The warning itself is harmless since we return
NULL anyway for any failed request, which callers are
required to handle anyway. However, it becomes harmful when
panic_on_warn is set.
The rationale for the WARN() in pcpu_alloc() is that it can
be tracked when larger than supported allocation requests are
made such that allocations limits can be tweaked if warranted.
This makes sense for in-kernel users, however, there are users
of pcpu allocator where allocation size is derived from user
space requests, e.g. when creating BPF maps. In these cases,
the requests should fail gracefully without throwing a splat.
The current work-around was to check allocation size against
the upper limit of PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE from call-sites for
bailing out prior to a call to pcpu_alloc() in order to
avoid throwing the WARN(). This is bad in multiple ways since
PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE is an implementation detail, and having
the checks on call-sites only complicates the code for no
good reason. Thus, lets fix it generically by supporting the
__GFP_NOWARN flag that users can then use with calling the
__alloc_percpu_gfp() helper instead.

This patch is the followup of the prvious patch:
[writeback: schedule periodic writeback with sysctl].
There's another issue to fix.
For example,
- When the tunable was set to one hour and is reset to one second, the
new setting will not take effect for up to one hour.
Kicking the flusher threads immediately fixes it.
