In case cma_init_reserved_mem failed, need to free the memblock
allocated by memblock_reserve or memblock_alloc_range.
Quote Catalin's comments:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/26/482
Kmemleak is supposed to work with the memblock_{alloc,free} pair and it
ignores the memblock_reserve() as a memblock_alloc() implementation
detail. It is, however, tolerant to memblock_free() being called on
a sub-range or just a different range from a previous memblock_alloc().
So the original patch looks fine to me. FWIW:

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))
Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock
Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);
instance = kvzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
Notice that, in this case, variable size is not necessary, hence it is
removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

This combines the common elements of these routines:
page_cache_get_speculative()
page_cache_add_speculative()
This was anticipated by the original author, as shown by the comment in
commit ce0ad7f095 ("powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for
64-bit (v3)"):
"Same as above, but add instead of inc (could just be merged)"
There is no intention to introduce any behavioral change, but there is a
small risk of that, due to slightly differing ways of expressing the
TINY_RCU and related configurations.
This also removes the VM_BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) that was in
page_cache_add_speculative(), but not in page_cache_get_speculative().
This provides slightly less detection of such bugs, but it given that it
was only there on the "add" path anyway, we can likely do without it
just fine.
And it removes the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound(page) && page != compound_head(page), page);
that page_cache_add_speculative() had.

seems stupid to then use page_mapping(page) in expected_page_refs()
instead of passed down 'mapping' argument. I agree so let's make
expected_page_refs() more in line with the rest of the migration stack.

Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in
get_swap_page_of_type:
Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This
seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is
valid and so "si" can be NULL.
Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to
ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order:
CPU0 CPU1
alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type]
Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before
CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type].
Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads
properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage.
Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model
(see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt).
This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held
(e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles
and the swap_info array.

ksmd needs to search the stable tree to look for the suitable KSM page,
but the KSM page might be locked for a while due to i.e. KSM page rmap
walk. Basically it is not a big deal since commit 2c653d0ee2 ("ksm:
introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page deduplication limit"), since
max_page_sharing limits the number of shared KSM pages.
But it still sounds not worth waiting for the lock, the page can be
skip, then try to merge it in the next scan to avoid potential stall if
its content is still intact.
Introduce trylock mode to get_ksm_page() to not block on page lock, like
what try_to_merge_one_page() does. And, define three possible
operations (nolock, lock and trylock) as enum type to avoid stacking up
bools and make the code more readable.
Return -EBUSY if trylock fails, since NULL means not find suitable KSM
page, which is a valid case.
With the default max_page_sharing setting (256), there is almost no
observed change comparing lock vs trylock.
However, with ksm02 of LTP, the reduced ksmd full scan time can be
observed, which has set max_page_sharing to 786432. With lock version,
ksmd may tak 10s - 11s to run two full scans, with trylock version ksmd
may take 8s - 11s to run two full scans. And, the number of
pages_sharing and pages_to_scan keep same. Basically, this change has
no harm.

Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can
only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about
transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis.
For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1,
which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's
fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg,
since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any
memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that,
but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

In current implementation, both kswapd and direct reclaim has to iterate
all mem cgroups. It is not a problem before offline mem cgroups could
be iterated. But, currently with iterating offline mem cgroups, it
could be very time consuming. In our workloads, we saw over 400K mem
cgroups accumulated in some cases, only a few hundred are online memcgs.
Although kswapd could help out to reduce the number of memcgs, direct
reclaim still get hit with iterating a number of offline memcgs in some
cases. We experienced the responsiveness problems due to this
occassionally.
A simple test with pref shows it may take around 220ms to iterate 8K
memcgs in direct reclaim:
dd 13873 [011] 578.542919: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin
dd 13873 [011] 578.758689: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_end
So for 400K, it may take around 11 seconds to iterate all memcgs.
Here just break the iteration once it reclaims enough pages as what
memcg direct reclaim does. This may hurt the fairness among memcgs.
But the cached iterator cookie could help to achieve the fairness more
or less.

Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions. We are looking forward
to migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly
remove the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also
benefiting from using memfd and contributing to it. Note staging
drivers are also not ABI and generally can be removed at anytime.
One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region
and mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any
"future" writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed
writeable-region active. This allows us to implement a usecase where
receivers of the shared memory buffer can get a read-only view, while
the sender continues to write to the buffer. See CursorWindow
documentation in Android for more details:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow
This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal.
To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
keeping the existing mmap active.
A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
behavior of the seal. This solves several side-effects pointed by Andy.
self-tests are provided in later patch to verify the expected semantics.

pmd entry can be converted to level 4 pte entries. Keep the code
simpler by allowing large IOMMU page size only if the guest ram is

The current code doesn't do page migration if the page allocated is a
compound page. With HugeTLB migration support, we can end up allocating
hugetlb pages from CMA region. Also, THP pages can be allocated from
CMA region. This patch updates the code to handle compound pages
correctly. The patch also switches to a single get_user_pages with the
right count, instead of doing one get_user_pages per page. That avoids
reading page table multiple times. This is done by using
get_user_pages_longterm, because that also takes care of DAX backed
pages.
DAX pages lifetime is dictated by file system rules and as such, we need
to make sure that we free these pages on operations like truncate and
punch hole. If we have long term pin on these pages, which are mostly
return to userspace with elevated page count, the entity holding the
long term pin may not be aware of the fact that file got truncated and
the file system blocks possibly got reused. That can result in
corruption.
The patch also converts the hpas member of mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t to
a union. We use the same storage location to store pointers to struct
page. We cannot update all the code path use struct page *, because we
access hpas in real mode and we can't do that struct page * to pfn
conversion in real mode.

This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated
out of CMA region. This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages
(due to page reference count) in the CMA area.
This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in
the CMA region. ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware
page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA
region results in page table allocation failures.
One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough
device. VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is
backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the
CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough
hash page table.
NOTE: We allocate the new page without using __GFP_THISNODE

Patch series "mm/kvm/vfio/ppc64: Migrate compound pages out of CMA
region", v8.
ppc64 uses the CMA area for the allocation of guest page table (hash
page table). We won't be able to start guest if we fail to allocate
hash page table. We have observed hash table allocation failure because
we failed to migrate pages out of CMA region because they were pinned.
This happen when we are using VFIO. VFIO on ppc64 pins the entire guest
RAM. If the guest RAM pages get allocated out of CMA region, we won't
be able to migrate those pages. The pages are also pinned for the
lifetime of the guest.
Currently we support migration of non-compound pages. With THP and with
the addition of hugetlb migration we can end up allocating compound
pages from CMA region. This patch series add support for migrating
compound pages.
This patch (of 4):
Add PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA which make sure any allocation in that context is
marked non-movable and hence cannot be satisfied by CMA region.
This is useful with get_user_pages_longterm where we want to take a page
pin by migrating pages from CMA region. Marking the section
PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA ensures that we avoid unnecessary page migration
later.

The usage of PG_reserved and how PG_reserved pages are to be treated is
buried deep down in different parts of the kernel. Let's shine some
light onto these details by documenting current users and expected
behavior.
Especially, clarify on the "Some of them might not even exist" case.
These are physical memory gaps that will never be dumped as they are not
marked as IORESOURCE_SYSRAM. PG_reserved does in general not hinder
anybody from dumping or swapping. In some cases, these pages will not
be stored in the hibernation image.

In the old days, remap_pfn_range() required pages to be marked as
PG_reserved, so they would e.g. never get swapped out. This was
required for special mappings. Nowadays, this is fully handled via the
VMA (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP inside
remap_pfn_range() to be precise). PG_reserved is no longer required but
only a relic from the past.
So only architecture specific MM handling might require it (e.g. to
detect them as MMIO pages). As there are no architecture specific
checks for PageReserved() apart from MCA handling in ia64code, this can
go. Use simple vzalloc()/vfree() instead.
Note that before calling vzalloc(), size has already been aligned to
PAGE_SIZE, no need to align again.

The crashkernel is reserved via memblock_reserve(). memblock_free_all()
will call free_low_memory_core_early(), which will go over all reserved
memblocks, marking the pages as PG_reserved.
So manually marking pages as PG_reserved is not necessary, they are
already in the desired state (otherwise they would have been handed over
to the buddy as free pages and bad things would happen).

Patch series "mm: PG_reserved cleanups and documentation", v2.
I was recently going over all users of PG_reserved. Short story: it is
difficult and sometimes not really clear if setting/checking for
PG_reserved is only a relict from the past. Easy to break things. I
guess I now have a pretty good idea wh things are like that nowadays and
how they evolved.
I had way more cleanups in this series inititally, but some
architectures take PG_reserved as a way to apply a different caching
strategy (for MMIO pages). So I decided to only include the most
obvious changes (that are less likely to break something). So the big
chunk of manual SetPageReserved users are MMIO/DMA related things on
device buffers.
Most notably, for device memory we will hopefully soon stop setting
PG_reserved. Then the documentation has to be updated.
This patch (of 9):
The l1 GATT page table is kept in a special on-chip page with 64
entries. We allocate the l2 page table pages via get_zeroed_page() and
enter them into the table. These l2 pages are modified accordingly when
inserting/removing memory via efficeon_insert_memory and
efficeon_remove_memory.
Apart from that, these pages are not exposed or ioremap'ed. We can stop
setting them reserved (propably copied from generic code).

This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch
with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and
optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and
Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new
results.
try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort.
It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the
page tables for all the processes in the system for each one.
This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its
complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing
all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also
makes similar changes to shmem_unuse.
Improvement
swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a
VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted.
Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util).
Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util).
Details
In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each
shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to
shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(),
iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of
each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside
of the RCU critical section.
In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and
unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the
processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass
each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk,
unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by
try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap
entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache.
If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat
the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times.
Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to
unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over
their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration.
In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using
the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call
swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte().
Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in
try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of
pages has been swapped back in.
