Make pte_offset_map() a wrapper for __pte_offset_map() (optionally outputs
pmdval), pte_offset_map_lock() a sparse __cond_lock wrapper for
__pte_offset_map_lock(): those __funcs added in mm/pgtable-generic.c.
__pte_offset_map() do pmdval validation (including pmd_clear_bad() when
pmd_bad()), returning NULL if pmdval is not for a page table.
__pte_offset_map_lock() verify pmdval unchanged after getting the lock,
trying again if it changed.
No #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE around them: that could be done to
cover the imminent case, but we expect to generalize it later, and it
makes a mess of where to do the pmd_bad() clearing.
Add pte_offset_map_nolock(): outputs ptl like pte_offset_map_lock(),
without actually taking the lock. This will be preferred to open uses of
pte_lockptr(), because (when split ptlock is in page table's struct page)
it points to the right lock for the returned pte pointer, even if *pmd
gets changed racily afterwards.
Update corresponding Documentation.
Do not add the anticipated rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s yet:
they have to wait until all architectures are balancing pte_offset_map()s
with pte_unmap()s (as in the arch series posted earlier). But comment
where they will go, so that it's easy to add them for experiments. And
only when those are in place can transient racy failure cases be enabled.
Add more safety for the PAE mismatched pmd_low pmd_high case at that time.

Patch series "mm: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail", v2.
What is it all about? Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e. latency reduction.
Initially just for the case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs; but
likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g. freeing of empty
page tables (but that's not work I'm doing). mmap_write_lock avoidance
when collapsing to anon THPs? Perhaps, but again that's not work I've
done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case.
I would much prefer not to have to make these small but wide-ranging
changes for such a niche case; but failed to find another way, and have
heard that shmem MADV_COLLAPSE's usefulness is being limited by that
mmap_write_lock it currently requires.
These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in
Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them.
What is this preparatory series about?
The current mmap locking will not be enough to guard against that tricky
transition between pmd entry pointing to page table, and empty pmd entry,
and pmd entry pointing to huge page: pte_offset_map() will have to
validate the pmd entry for itself, returning NULL if no page table is
there. What to do about that varies: sometimes nearby error handling
indicates just to skip it; but in many cases an ACTION_AGAIN or "goto
again" is appropriate (and if that risks an infinite loop, then there must
have been an oops, or pfn 0 mistaken for page table, before).
Given the likely extension to freeing empty page tables, I have not
limited this set of changes to a THP config; and it has been easier, and
sets a better example, if each site is given appropriate handling: even
where deeper study might prove that failure could only happen if the pmd
table were corrupted.
Several of the patches are, or include, cleanup on the way; and by the
end, pmd_trans_unstable() and suchlike are deleted: pte_offset_map() and
pte_offset_map_lock() then handle those original races and more. Most
uses of pte_lockptr() are deprecated, with pte_offset_map_nolock() taking
its place.
This patch (of 32):
Use pmdp_get_lockless() in preference to READ_ONCE(*pmdp), to get a more
reliable result with PAE (or READ_ONCE as before without PAE); and remove
the unnecessary extra barrier()s which got left behind in its callers.
HOWEVER: Note the small print in linux/pgtable.h, where it was designed
specifically for fast GUP, and depends on interrupts being disabled for
its full guarantee: most callers which have been added (here and before)
do NOT have interrupts disabled, so there is still some need for caution.

folio_set_order(folio, 0) is used in kernel at two places
__destroy_compound_gigantic_folio and __prep_compound_gigantic_folio.
Currently, It is called to clear out the folio->_folio_nr_pages and
folio->_folio_order.
For __destroy_compound_gigantic_folio:
In past, folio_set_order(folio, 0) was needed because page->mapping used
to overlap with _folio_nr_pages and _folio_order. So if these fields were
left uncleared during freeing gigantic hugepages, they were causing
"BUG: bad page state" due to non-zero page->mapping. Now, After
Commit a01f43901c ("hugetlb: be sure to free demoted CMA pages to
CMA") page->mapping has explicitly been cleared out for tail pages. Also,
_folio_order and _folio_nr_pages no longer overlaps with page->mapping.
So, folio_set_order(folio, 0) can be removed from freeing gigantic
folio path (__destroy_compound_gigantic_folio).
Another place, folio_set_order(folio, 0) is called inside
__prep_compound_gigantic_folio during error path. Here,
folio_set_order(folio, 0) can also be removed if we move
folio_set_order(folio, order) after for loop.
The patch also moves _folio_set_head call in __prep_compound_gigantic_folio()
such that we avoid clearing them in the error path.
Also, as Mike pointed out:
"It would actually be better to move the calls _folio_set_head and
folio_set_order in __prep_compound_gigantic_folio() as suggested here. Why?
In the current code, the ref count on the 'head page' is still 1 (or more)
while those calls are made. So, someone could take a speculative ref on the
page BEFORE the tail pages are set up."
This way, folio_set_order(folio, 0) is no more needed. And it will also
helps removing the confusion of folio order being set to 0 (as _folio_order
field is part of first tail page).
Testing: I have run LTP tests, which all passes. and also I have written
the test in LTP which tests the bug caused by compound_nr and page->mapping
overlapping.
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/mem/hugetlb/hugemmap/hugemmap32.c
Running on older kernel ( < 5.10-rc7) with the above bug this fails while
on newer kernel and, also with this patch it passes.

Problem: The interruption caused by vmstat_update is undesirable
for certain applications.
With workloads that are running on isolated cpus with nohz full mode to
shield off any kernel interruption. For example, a VM running a
time sensitive application with a 50us maximum acceptable interruption
(use case: soft PLC).
oslat 1094.456862: sys_mlock(start: 7f7ed0000b60, len: 1000)
oslat 1094.456971: workqueue_queue_work: ... function=vmstat_update ...
oslat 1094.456974: sched_switch: prev_comm=oslat ... ==> next_comm=kworker/5:1 ...
kworker 1094.456978: sched_switch: prev_comm=kworker/5:1 ==> next_comm=oslat ...
The example above shows an additional 7us for the
oslat -> kworker -> oslat
switches. In the case of a virtualized CPU, and the vmstat_update
interruption in the host (of a qemu-kvm vcpu), the latency penalty
observed in the guest is higher than 50us, violating the acceptable
latency threshold.
The isolated vCPU can perform operations that modify per-CPU page counters,
for example to complete I/O operations:
CPU 11/KVM-9540 [001] dNh1. 2314.248584: mod_zone_page_state <-__folio_end_writeback
CPU 11/KVM-9540 [001] dNh1. 2314.248585: <stack trace>
=> 0xffffffffc042b083
=> mod_zone_page_state
=> __folio_end_writeback
=> folio_end_writeback
=> iomap_finish_ioend
=> blk_mq_end_request_batch
=> nvme_irq
=> __handle_irq_event_percpu
=> handle_irq_event
=> handle_edge_irq
=> __common_interrupt
=> common_interrupt
=> asm_common_interrupt
=> vmx_do_interrupt_nmi_irqoff
=> vmx_handle_exit_irqoff
=> vcpu_enter_guest
=> vcpu_run
=> kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
=> kvm_vcpu_ioctl
=> __x64_sys_ioctl
=> do_syscall_64
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
In kernel users of vmstat counters either require the precise value and
they are using zone_page_state_snapshot interface or they can live with an
imprecision as the regular flushing can happen at arbitrary time and
cumulative error can grow (see calculate_normal_threshold).
From that POV the regular flushing can be postponed for CPUs that have
been isolated from the kernel interference without critical infrastructure
ever noticing. Skip regular flushing from vmstat_shepherd for all
isolated CPUs to avoid interference with the isolated workload.

Commit 71024cb4a0 ("frontswap: remove frontswap_tmem_exclusive_gets")
removed support for exclusive loads from frontswap as it was not used.
Bring back exclusive loads support to frontswap by adding an "exclusive"
output parameter to frontswap_ops->load.
On the zswap side, add a module parameter to enable/disable exclusive
loads, and a config option to control the boot default value. Refactor
zswap entry invalidation in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page() into
zswap_invalidate_entry() to reuse it in zswap_frontswap_load() if
exclusive loads are enabled.
With exclusive loads, we avoid having two copies of the same page in
memory (compressed & uncompressed) after faulting it in from zswap. On
the other hand, if the page is to be reclaimed again without being
dirtied, it will be re-compressed. Compression is not usually slow, and a
page that was just faulted in is less likely to be reclaimed again soon.

Furthermore, reset_node_managed_pages() no longer needs to be exposed
outside of mm/memblock.c. Remove declaration in include/linux/memblock.h
and define it as static.
In addtion to this, the only caller of reset_node_managed_pages() is
reset_all_zones_managed_pages(), which is annotated with __init, so it
should be safe to also mark reset_node_managed_pages() as __init.

test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700b ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.
After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So
revert the shrinker_srcu related changes first.

Remove an unnecessary call to xas_set(index) when iterating over the
target range in collapse_file. The extra call to xas_set reset the xas
cursor to the top of the tree, causing the xas_next call on the next
iteration to walk the tree to index instead of advancing to index+1. This
returned the same page again, which would cause collapse_file to fail
because the page is already locked.
This bug was hidden when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was set. When that config was
used, the xas_load in a subsequent VM_BUG_ON assert would walk xas from
the top of the tree to index, causing the xas_next call on the next loop
iteration to advance the cursor as expected.

In __vmalloc_area_node() we always warn_alloc() when an allocation
performed by vm_area_alloc_pages() fails unless it was due to a pending
fatal signal.
However, huge page allocations instigated either by vmalloc_huge() or
__vmalloc_node_range() (or a caller that invokes this like kvmalloc() or
kvmalloc_node()) always falls back to order-0 allocations if the huge page
allocation fails.
This renders the warning useless and noisy, especially as all callers
appear to be aware that this may fallback. This has already resulted in
at least one bug report from a user who was confused by this (see link).
Therefore, simply update the code to only output this warning for order-0
pages when no fatal signal is pending.

Per-VMA locking allows us to lock a struct vm_area_struct without
taking the process-wide mmap lock in read mode.
Consider a process workload where the mmap lock is taken constantly in
write mode. In this scenario, all zerocopy receives are periodically
blocked during that period of time - though in principle, the memory
ranges being used by TCP are not touched by the operations that need
the mmap write lock. This results in performance degradation.
Now consider another workload where the mmap lock is never taken in
write mode, but there are many TCP connections using receive zerocopy
that are concurrently receiving. These connections all take the mmap
lock in read mode, but this does induce a lot of contention and atomic
ops for this process-wide lock. This results in additional CPU
overhead caused by contending on the cache line for this lock.
However, with per-vma locking, both of these problems can be avoided.
As a test, I ran an RPC-style request/response workload with 4KB
payloads and receive zerocopy enabled, with 100 simultaneous TCP
connections. I measured perf cycles within the
find_tcp_vma/mmap_read_lock/mmap_read_unlock codepath, with and
without per-vma locking enabled.
When using process-wide mmap semaphore read locking, about 1% of
measured perf cycles were within this path. With per-VMA locking, this
value dropped to about 0.45%.

- introduce the SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag, by Jesper Dangaard Brouer
- deprecate CONFIG_SLAB, with a planned removal, by myself
When CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is enabled, we disable cache merging for
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches so they don't end up merged with a cache that uses
ad-hoc __GFP_ACCOUNT when allocating. This was implemented by setting
the refcount to -1, but now we have a proper SLAB_NO_MERGE flag, so use
that instead.

Before storing a page, zswap first checks if the number of stored pages
exceeds the limit specified by memory.zswap.max, for each cgroup in the
hierarchy. If this limit is reached or exceeded, then zswap shrinking is
triggered and short-circuits the store attempt.
However, since the zswap's LRU is not memcg-aware, this can create the
following pathological behavior: the cgroup whose zswap limit is 0 will
evict pages from other cgroups continually, without lowering its own zswap
usage. This means the shrinking will continue until the need for swap
ceases or the pool becomes empty.
As a result of this, we observe a disproportionate amount of zswap
writeback and a perpetually small zswap pool in our experiments, even
though the pool limit is never hit.
More generally, a cgroup might unnecessarily evict pages from other
cgroups before we drive the memcg back below its limit.
This patch fixes the issue by rejecting zswap store attempt without
shrinking the pool when obj_cgroup_may_zswap() returns false.

Ackerley Tng reported an issue with hugetlbfs fallocate here[1]. The
issue showed up after the conversion of hugetlb page cache lookup code to
use page_cache_next_miss. Code in hugetlb fallocate, userfaultfd and GUP
is now using page_cache_next_miss to determine if a page is present the
page cache. The following statement is used.
present = page_cache_next_miss(mapping, index, 1) != index;
There are two issues with page_cache_next_miss when used in this way.
1) If the passed value for index is equal to the 'wrap-around' value,
the same index will always be returned. This wrap-around value is 0,
so 0 will be returned even if page is present at index 0.
2) If there is no gap in the range passed, the last index in the range
will be returned. When passed a range of 1 as above, the passed
index value will be returned even if the page is present.
The end result is the statement above will NEVER indicate a page is
present in the cache, even if it is.
As noted by Ackerley in [1], users can see this by hugetlb fallocate
incorrectly returning EEXIST if pages are already present in the file. In
addition, hugetlb pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to
be brought in via GUP. userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY also uses this code and
will not notice pages already present in the cache. It may try to
allocate a new page and potentially return ENOMEM as opposed to EEXIST.
Both page_cache_next_miss and page_cache_prev_miss have similar issues.
Fix by:
- Check for index equal to 'wrap-around' value and do not exit early.
- If no gap is found in range, return index outside range.
- Update function description to say 'wrap-around' value could be
returned if passed as index.

The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE. Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, ->open and
->ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder. Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.
For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.

Writing to file-backed dirty-tracked mappings via GUP is inherently broken
as we cannot rule out folios being cleaned and then a GUP user writing to
them again and possibly marking them dirty unexpectedly.
This is especially egregious for long-term mappings (as indicated by the
use of the FOLL_LONGTERM flag), so we disallow this case in GUP-fast as we
have already done in the slow path.
We have access to less information in the fast path as we cannot examine
the VMA containing the mapping, however we can determine whether the folio
is anonymous or belonging to a whitelisted filesystem - specifically
hugetlb and shmem mappings.
We take special care to ensure that both the folio and mapping are safe to
access when performing these checks and document folio_fast_pin_allowed()
accordingly.
It's important to note that there are no APIs allowing users to specify
FOLL_FAST_ONLY for a PUP-fast let alone with FOLL_LONGTERM, so we can
always rely on the fact that if we fail to pin on the fast path, the code
will fall back to the slow path which can perform the more thorough check.

Writing to file-backed mappings which require folio dirty tracking using
GUP is a fundamentally broken operation, as kernel write access to GUP
mappings do not adhere to the semantics expected by a file system.
A GUP caller uses the direct mapping to access the folio, which does not
cause write notify to trigger, nor does it enforce that the caller marks
the folio dirty.
The problem arises when, after an initial write to the folio, writeback
results in the folio being cleaned and then the caller, via the GUP
interface, writes to the folio again.
As a result of the use of this secondary, direct, mapping to the folio no
write notify will occur, and if the caller does mark the folio dirty, this
will be done so unexpectedly.
For example, consider the following scenario:-
1. A folio is written to via GUP which write-faults the memory, notifying
the file system and dirtying the folio.
2. Later, writeback is triggered, resulting in the folio being cleaned and
the PTE being marked read-only.
3. The GUP caller writes to the folio, as it is mapped read/write via the
direct mapping.
4. The GUP caller, now done with the page, unpins it and sets it dirty
(though it does not have to).
This results in both data being written to a folio without writenotify,
and the folio being dirtied unexpectedly (if the caller decides to do so).
This issue was first reported by Jan Kara [1] in 2018, where the problem
resulted in file system crashes.
This is only relevant when the mappings are file-backed and the underlying
file system requires folio dirty tracking. File systems which do not,
such as shmem or hugetlb, are not at risk and therefore can be written to
without issue.
Unfortunately this limitation of GUP has been present for some time and
requires future rework of the GUP API in order to provide correct write
access to such mappings.
However, for the time being we introduce this check to prevent the most
egregious case of this occurring, use of the FOLL_LONGTERM pin.
These mappings are considerably more likely to be written to after folios
are cleaned and thus simply must not be permitted to do so.
This patch changes only the slow-path GUP functions, a following patch
adapts the GUP-fast path along similar lines.

Patch series "mm/gup: disallow GUP writing to file-backed mappings by
default", v9.
Writing to file-backed mappings which require folio dirty tracking using
GUP is a fundamentally broken operation, as kernel write access to GUP
mappings do not adhere to the semantics expected by a file system.
A GUP caller uses the direct mapping to access the folio, which does not
cause write notify to trigger, nor does it enforce that the caller marks
the folio dirty.
The problem arises when, after an initial write to the folio, writeback
results in the folio being cleaned and then the caller, via the GUP
interface, writes to the folio again.
As a result of the use of this secondary, direct, mapping to the folio no

will be done so unexpectedly.
For example, consider the following scenario:-
1. A folio is written to via GUP which write-faults the memory, notifying
the file system and dirtying the folio.
2. Later, writeback is triggered, resulting in the folio being cleaned and
the PTE being marked read-only.
3. The GUP caller writes to the folio, as it is mapped read/write via the
direct mapping.
4. The GUP caller, now done with the page, unpins it and sets it dirty
(though it does not have to).
This change updates both the PUP FOLL_LONGTERM slow and fast APIs. As
pin_user_pages_fast_only() does not exist, we can rely on a slightly
imperfect whitelisting in the PUP-fast case and fall back to the slow case
should this fail.
This patch (of 3):
vma_wants_writenotify() is specifically intended for setting PTE page
table flags, accounting for existing page table flag state and whether the
underlying filesystem performs dirty tracking for a file-backed mapping.
Everything is predicated firstly on whether the mapping is shared
writable, as this is the only instance where dirty tracking is pertinent -
MAP_PRIVATE mappings will always be CoW'd and unshared, and read-only
file-backed shared mappings cannot be written to, even with FOLL_FORCE.
All other checks are in line with existing logic, though now separated
into checks eplicitily for dirty tracking and those for determining how to
set page table flags.
We make this change so we can perform checks in the GUP logic to determine
which mappings might be problematic when written to.

It is racy to non-atomically read a pte, then clear the young bit, then
write it back as this could discard dirty information. Further, it is bad
practice to directly set a pte entry within a table. Instead clearing
young must go through the arch-provided helper,
ptep_test_and_clear_young() to ensure it is modified atomically and to
give the arch code visibility and allow it to check (and potentially
modify) the operation.

A customer provided evidence indicating that a process
was stalled in direct reclaim:
- The process was trapped in throttle_direct_reclaim().
The function wait_event_killable() was called to wait condition
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) for current node to be true.
The allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) examined the number of free pages
on the node by zone_page_state() which just returns value in
zone->vm_stat[NR_FREE_PAGES].
- On node #1, zone->vm_stat[NR_FREE_PAGES] was 0.
However, the freelist on this node was not empty.
- This inconsistent of vmstat value was caused by percpu vmstat on
nohz_full cpus. Every increment/decrement of vmstat is performed
on percpu vmstat counter at first, then pooled diffs are cumulated
to the zone's vmstat counter in timely manner. However, on nohz_full
cpus (in case of this customer's system, 48 of 52 cpus) these pooled
diffs were not cumulated once the cpu had no event on it so that
the cpu started sleeping infinitely.
I checked percpu vmstat and found there were total 69 counts not
cumulated to the zone's vmstat counter yet.
- In this situation, kswapd did not help the trapped process.
In pgdat_balanced(), zone_wakermark_ok_safe() examined the number
of free pages on the node by zone_page_state_snapshot() which
checks pending counts on percpu vmstat.
Therefore kswapd could know there were 69 free pages correctly.
Since zone->_watermark = {8, 20, 32}, kswapd did not work because
69 was greater than 32 as high watermark.
Change allow_direct_reclaim to use zone_page_state_snapshot, which
allows a more precise version of the vmstat counters to be used.
allow_direct_reclaim will only be called from try_to_free_pages,
which is not a hot path.
Testing: Due to difficulties accessing the system, it has not been
possible for the reproducer to test the patch (however its
clear from available data and analysis that it should fix it).

and the page cache writeback / invalidation for direct I/O. This is a
spinoff from the no-bufferhead kernel project, for which we'll want to an
use iomap based buffered write path in the block layer.
This patch (of 12):
The last user of current->backing_dev_info disappeared in commit
b9b1335e64 ("remove bdi_congested() and wb_congested() and related
functions"). Remove the field and all assignments to it.

This update addresses an issue with the zswap reclaim mechanism, which
hinders the efficient offloading of cold pages to disk, thereby
compromising the preservation of the LRU order and consequently
diminishing, if not inverting, its performance benefits.
The functioning of the zswap shrink worker was found to be inadequate, as
shown by basic benchmark test. For the test, a kernel build was utilized
as a reference, with its memory confined to 1G via a cgroup and a 5G swap
file provided. The results are presented below, these are averages of
three runs without the use of zswap:
real 46m26s
user 35m4s
sys 7m37s
With zswap (zbud) enabled and max_pool_percent set to 1 (in a 32G
system), the results changed to:
real 56m4s
user 35m13s
sys 8m43s
written_back_pages: 18
reject_reclaim_fail: 0
pool_limit_hit:1478
Besides the evident regression, one thing to notice from this data is the
extremely low number of written_back_pages and pool_limit_hit.
The pool_limit_hit counter, which is increased in zswap_frontswap_store
when zswap is completely full, doesn't account for a particular scenario:
once zswap hits his limit, zswap_pool_reached_full is set to true; with
this flag on, zswap_frontswap_store rejects pages if zswap is still above
the acceptance threshold. Once we include the rejections due to
zswap_pool_reached_full && !zswap_can_accept(), the number goes from 1478
to a significant 21578266.
Zswap is stuck in an undesirable state where it rejects pages because it's
above the acceptance threshold, yet fails to attempt memory reclaimation.
This happens because the shrink work is only queued when
zswap_frontswap_store detects that it's full and the work itself only
reclaims one page per run.
This state results in hot pages getting written directly to disk, while
cold ones remain memory, waiting only to be invalidated. The LRU order is
completely broken and zswap ends up being just an overhead without
providing any benefits.
This commit applies 2 changes: a) the shrink worker is set to reclaim
pages until the acceptance threshold is met and b) the task is also
enqueued when zswap is not full but still above the threshold.
Testing this suggested update showed much better numbers:
real 36m37s
user 35m8s
sys 9m32s
written_back_pages: 10459423
reject_reclaim_fail: 12896
pool_limit_hit: 75653

Commit 73444bc4d8 ("mm, page_alloc: do not wake kswapd with zone lock
held") moved wakeup_kswapd() from steal_suitable_fallback() to rmqueue()
using ZONE_BOOSTED_WATERMARK flag.
Only allocation contexts that include ALLOC_KSWAPD (which corresponds to
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) should wake kswapd, for callers are supposed to
remove __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM if trying to hold pgdat->kswapd_wait has a
risk of deadlock. But since zone->flags is a shared variable, a thread
doing !__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM allocation request might observe this flag
being set immediately after another thread doing __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM
allocation request set this flag, causing possibility of deadlock.

free_transhuge_page() acquires split queue lock then check whether the THP
was added to deferred list or not. It brings high deferred queue lock
contention.
It's safe to check whether the THP is in deferred list or not without
holding the deferred queue lock in free_transhuge_page() because when code
hit free_transhuge_page(), there is no one tries to add the folio to
_deferred_list.
Running page_fault1 of will-it-scale + order 2 folio for anonymous
mapping with 96 processes on an Ice Lake 48C/96T test box, we could
see the 61% split_queue_lock contention:
- 63.02% 0.01% page_fault1_pro [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_transhuge_page
- 63.01% free_transhuge_page
+ 62.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
With this patch applied, the split_queue_lock contention is less
than 1%.

The general rule to use a swap entry is as follows.
When we get a swap entry, if there aren't some other ways to prevent
swapoff, such as the folio in swap cache is locked, page table lock is
held, etc., the swap entry may become invalid because of swapoff.
Then, we need to enclose all swap related functions with
get_swap_device() and put_swap_device(), unless the swap functions
call get/put_swap_device() by themselves.
Add the rule as comments of get_swap_device().

eb085574a7 ("mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap
operations"). Later, in commit 2799e77529 ("swap: fix
do_swap_page() race with swapoff"), get/put_swap_device() are added to
do_swap_page(). And they enclose the only call site of
__swap_count(). So, it's safe to remove get/put_swap_device() in
__swap_count() now.

Currently, no matter whether a node actually has memory or not,
calculate_node_totalpages() is used to account number of pages in
zone/node. However, for node without memory, these unnecessary
calculations can be skipped. All the zone/node page counts can be set to
0 directly. So introduce reset_memoryless_node_totalpages() to perform
this action.
Furthermore, calculate_node_totalpages() only gets called for the node
with memory.

On Android app cycle workloads, MGLRU showed a significant reduction in
workingset refaults although pgpgin/pswpin remained relatively unchanged.
This indicated MGLRU may be undercounting workingset refaults.
This has impact on userspace programs, like Android's LMKD, that monitor
workingset refault statistics to detect thrashing.
It was found that refaults were only accounted if the MGLRU shadow entry
was for a recently evicted folio. However, recently evicted folios should
be accounted as workingset activation, and refaults should be accounted
regardless of recency.
Fix MGLRU's workingset refault and activation accounting to more closely
match that of the conventional active/inactive LRU.

This patch is similar to commit 8e20d4b332 ("mm/memcontrol: export
memcg->watermark via sysfs for v2 memcg"), but exports the swap counter's
watermark.
We allocate jobs to our compute farm using heuristics determined by memory
and swap usage from previous jobs. Tracking the peak swap usage for new
jobs is important for determining when jobs are exceeding their expected
bounds, or when our baseline metrics are getting outdated.
Our toolset was written to use the "memory.memsw.max_usage_in_bytes" file
in cgroups v1, and altering it to poll cgroups v2's "memory.swap.current"
would give less accurate results as well as add complication to the code.
Having this watermark exposed in sysfs is much preferred.

pressure. So add a trace event to show some numbers to help to understand
the efficiency for fast freepages isolation.

In fast_isolate_around(), it assumes the pageblock is fully scanned if
cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages after trying to isolate some free
pages, and will set skip flag to avoid scanning in future. However this
can miss setting the skip flag for a fully scanned pageblock (returned
'start_pfn' is equal to 'end_pfn') in the case where cc->nr_freepages is
larger than cc->nr_migratepages.
So using the returned 'start_pfn' from isolate_freepages_block() and
'end_pfn' to decide if a pageblock is fully scanned makes more sense. It
can also cover the case where cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages,
which means the 'start_pfn' is usually equal to 'end_pfn' except some
uncommon fatal error occurs after non-strict mode isolation.

Purging fragmented blocks is done unconditionally in several contexts:
1) From drain_vmap_area_work(), when the number of lazy to be freed
vmap_areas reached the threshold
2) Reclaiming vmalloc address space from pcpu_get_vm_areas()
3) _vm_unmap_aliases()
#1 There is no reason to zap fragmented vmap blocks unconditionally, simply
because reclaiming all lazy areas drains at least
32MB * fls(num_online_cpus())
per invocation which is plenty.
#2 Reclaiming when running out of space or due to memory pressure makes a
lot of sense
#3 _unmap_aliases() requires to touch everything because the caller has no
clue which vmap_area used a particular page last and the vmap_area lost
that information too.
Except for the vfree + VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS case, which removes the
vmap area first and then cares about the flush. That in turn requires
a full walk of _all_ vmap areas including the one which was just
added to the purge list.
But as this has to be flushed anyway this is an opportunity to combine
outstanding TLB flushes and do the housekeeping of purging freed areas,
but like #1 there is no real good reason to zap usable vmap blocks
unconditionally.
Add a @force_purge argument to the newly split out block purge function and
if not true only purge fragmented blocks which have less than 1/4 of their
capacity left.
Rename purge_vmap_area_lazy() to reclaim_and_purge_vmap_areas() to make it
clear what the function does.

vmap blocks which have active mappings cannot be purged. Allocations
which have been freed are accounted for in vmap_block::dirty_min/max, so
that they can be detected in _vm_unmap_aliases() as potentially stale
TLBs.
If there are several invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() then each of them
will flush the dirty range. That's pointless and just increases the
probability of full TLB flushes.
Avoid that by resetting the flush range after accounting for it. That's
safe versus other invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() because this is all
serialized with vmap_purge_lock.

_vunmap_aliases() walks the per CPU xarrays to find partially unmapped
blocks and then walks the per cpu free lists to purge fragmented blocks.
Arguably that's waste of CPU cycles and cache lines as the full xarray
walk already touches every block.
Avoid this double iteration:
- Split out the code to purge one block and the code to free the local
purge list into helper functions.
- Try to purge the fragmented blocks in the xarray walk before looking at
their dirty space.

Patch series "mm/vmalloc: Assorted fixes and improvements", v2.
this series addresses the following issues:
1) Prevent the stale TLB problem related to fully utilized vmap blocks
2) Avoid the double per CPU list walk in _vm_unmap_aliases()
3) Avoid flushing dirty space over and over
4) Add a lockless quickcheck in vb_alloc() and add missing
READ/WRITE_ONCE() annotations
5) Prevent overeager purging of usable vmap_blocks if
not under memory/address space pressure.
This patch (of 6):
_vm_unmap_aliases() is used to ensure that no unflushed TLB entries for a
page are left in the system. This is required due to the lazy TLB flush
mechanism in vmalloc.
This is tried to achieve by walking the per CPU free lists, but those do
not contain fully utilized vmap blocks because they are removed from the
free list once the blocks free space became zero.
When the block is not fully unmapped then it is not on the purge list
either.
So neither the per CPU list iteration nor the purge list walk find the
block and if the page was mapped via such a block and the TLB has not yet
been flushed, the guarantee of _vm_unmap_aliases() that there are no stale
TLBs after returning is broken:
x = vb_alloc() // Removes vmap_block from free list because vb->free became 0
vb_free(x) // Unmaps page and marks in dirty_min/max range
// Block has still mappings and is not put on purge list
// Page is reused
vm_unmap_aliases() // Can't find vmap block with the dirty space -> FAIL
So instead of walking the per CPU free lists, walk the per CPU xarrays
which hold pointers to _all_ active blocks in the system including those
removed from the free lists.

During stress testing with higher-order allocations, a deadlock scenario
was observed in compaction: One GFP_NOFS allocation was sleeping on
mm/compaction.c::too_many_isolated(), while all CPUs in the system were
busy with compactors spinning on buffer locks held by the sleeping
GFP_NOFS allocation.
Reclaim is susceptible to this same deadlock; we fixed it by granting
GFP_NOFS allocations additional LRU isolation headroom, to ensure it makes
forward progress while holding fs locks that other reclaimers might
acquire. Do the same here.
This code has been like this since compaction was initially merged, and I
only managed to trigger this with out-of-tree patches that dramatically
increase the contexts that do GFP_NOFS compaction. While the issue is
real, it seems theoretical in nature given existing allocation sites.
Worth fixing now, but no Fixes tag or stable CC.

__compaction_suitable() is supposed to check for available migration
targets. However, it also checks whether the operation was requested via
/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory, and whether the original allocation request
can already succeed. These don't apply to all callsites.
Move the checks out to the callers, so that later patches can deal with
them one by one. No functional change intended.

This patch (of 5):
The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the
allocator's retry logic. E.g. COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE
actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on. I
frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to
understand and work on the retry logic. They're not quite clean
abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations.
Remove the helpers and inline the checks. Then comment on the result
interpretations directly where the decision making happens.

parameter, eliminate it altogether.
This eliminates a class of bugs where vmas might have been kept around
longer than the mmap_lock and thus we need not be concerned about locks
being dropped during this operation leaving behind dangling pointers.
This simplifies the GUP API and makes it considerably clearer as to its
purpose - follow flags are applied and if pinning, an array of pages is

We are now in a position where no caller of pin_user_pages() requires the
vmas parameter at all, so eliminate this parameter from the function and
all callers.
This clears the way to removing the vmas parameter from GUP altogether.

The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the
vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the
VMA directly. In particular:-
- __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply
remove it.
- __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original
lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the
code.
We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the
mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote().
As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the
VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should
the VMA lookup fail.
This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas
parameter altogether.

Patch series "remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs", v6.
(pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter
for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range.
These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm->mmap_lock
is never released during the GUP operation (i.e. the internal flag
FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified).
In addition, these VMAs can only be accessed with the mmap_lock held and
become invalidated the moment it is released.
The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of
those that do, all but one case retrieve a single VMA to perform checks
upon.
It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the
operation with a vma_lookup(). In these cases we duplicate the (fast)
lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock, abstracted to a new
get_user_page_vma_remote() inline helper function which also performs
error checking and reference count maintenance.
The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to
assert that the VMAs underlying the range do not result in broken
long-term GUP file-backed mappings.
As GUP now internally asserts that FOLL_LONGTERM mappings are not
file-backed in a broken fashion (i.e. requiring dirty tracking) - as
implemented in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast writing to
file-backed mappings" - this logic is no longer required and so we can
simply remove it altogether from io_uring.
Eliminating the vmas parameter eliminates an entire class of danging
pointer errors that might have occured should the lock have been
incorrectly released.
In addition, the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is
intended for - applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning
pinned pages.
This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements
in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths.
I have run this series against gup_test with no issues.
Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring!
This patch (of 6):
No invocation of get_user_pages() use the vmas parameter, so remove it.
The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to
improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime
target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use
after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling
pointers.
Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary
purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions
implied by the input flags.
This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter
altogether.

Following the discussion about direct map fragmentaion at LSF/MM [1], it
appears that direct map fragmentation has a negligible effect on kernel
data accesses. Since the only reason that warranted secretmem to be
disabled by default was concern about performance regression caused by the
direct map fragmentation, it makes perfect sense to lift this restriction
and make secretmem enabled.
secretmem obeys RLIMIT_MEMBLOCK and as such it is not expected to cause
large fragmentation of the direct map or meaningfull increase in page
tables allocated during split of the large mappings in the direct map.
The secretmem.enable parameter is retained to allow system administrators
to disable secretmem at boot.
Switch the default setting of secretmem.enable parameter to 1.

This reverts commit 95e7a450b8 ("Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"").
Commit 7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock") was reverted due to bug reports about khugepaged
consuming large amounts of CPU without making progress. The underlying
bug was partially fixed by commit cfccd2e63e ("mm, compaction: finish
pageblocks on complete migration failure") but it only mitigated the
problem and Vlastimil Babka pointing out the same issue could
theoretically happen to kcompactd.
As pageblocks containing pages that fail to migrate should now be forcibly
rescanned to set the skip hint if skip hints are used,
fast_find_migrateblock() should no longer loop on a small subset of
pageblocks for prolonged periods of time. Revert the revert so
fast_find_migrateblock() is effective again.
Using the mmtests config workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact, the number
of unique ranges scanned was analysed for both kcompactd and !kcompactd
activity.

9 range=(0x88a400~0x88a420)
Note that the vanilla kernel and the full series had some duplication of
ranges scanned but it was not severe and would be in line with compaction
resets when the skip hints are cleared. Just a revert of commit
7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
showed excessive rescans of the same ranges so the series should not
reintroduce bug 1206848.

isolate_migratepages_block should mark a pageblock as skip if scanning
started on an aligned pageblock boundary but it only updates the skip flag
if the first migration candidate is also aligned. Tracing during a
compaction stress load (mmtests: workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact) that
many pageblocks are not marked skip causing excessive scanning of blocks
that had been recently checked. Update pageblock skip based on
"valid_page" which is set if scanning started on a pageblock boundary.

fast_find_migrateblock relies on skip hints to avoid rescanning a recently
selected pageblock but compact_zone() only forces the pageblock scan
completion to set the skip hint if in direct compaction. While this
prevents direct compaction repeatedly scanning a subset of blocks due to
fast_find_migrateblock(), it does not prevent proactive compaction, node
compaction and kcompactd encountering the same problem described in commit
cfccd2e63e ("mm, compaction: finish pageblocks on complete migration
failure").
Force the scan completion of a pageblock to set the skip hint if skip
hints are obeyed to prevent fast_find_migrateblock() repeatedly selecting
a subset of pageblocks.

Patch series "Follow-up "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction"".
The series "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction" [1] attempted to
fix a bug [2] but Vlastimil noted that the fix was incomplete [3]. While
the series was merged, fast_find_migrateblock was still disabled. This
series should fix the corner cases and allow 95e7a450b8 ("Revert
"mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock"") to be safely
reverted. Details on how many pageblocks are rescanned are in the
changelog of the last patch.

This patch (of 4):
compact_zone() intends to rescan pageblocks if there is a failure to
migrate "within the current order-aligned block". However, the pageblock
scan may already be complete and moved to the next block causing the next
pageblock to be "rescanned". Ensure only the most recent pageblock is
rescanned.

HugeTLB pages have a struct page optimizations where struct pages for tail
pages are freed. However, when HugeTLB pages are destroyed, the memory
for struct pages (vmemmap) need to be allocated again.
Currently, __GFP_NORETRY flag is used to allocate the memory for vmemmap,
but given that this flag makes very little effort to actually reclaim
memory the returning of huge pages back to the system can be problem.
Lets use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL instead. This flag is also performs graceful
reclaim without causing ooms, but at least it may perform a few retries,
and will fail only when there is genuinely little amount of unused memory
in the system.
Freeing a 1G page requires 16M of free memory. A machine might need to be
reconfigured from one task to another, and release a large number of 1G
pages back to the system if allocating 16M fails, the release won't work.

The two problems are:
- Addresses are passes as 'unsigned long' in the kernel, but gcc-13
expects a 'void *'.
- sizes meant to use a signed ssize_t rather than size_t.
Change all the prototypes to match these. Using 'void *' consistently for
addresses gets rid of a couple of type casts, so push that down to the
leaf functions where possible.
This now passes all randconfig builds on arm, arm64 and x86, but I have
not tested it on the other architectures that support kasan, since they
tend to fail randconfig builds in other ways. This might fail if any of
the 32-bit architectures expect a 'long' instead of 'int' for the size
argument.
The __asan_allocas_unpoison() function prototype is somewhat weird, since
it uses a pointer for 'stack_top' and an size_t for 'stack_bottom'. This
looks like it is meant to be 'addr' and 'size' like the others, but the
implementation clearly treats them as 'top' and 'bottom'.

After recent changes to the retrying and failure counting in
migrate_pages_batch(), it was found that it's unnecessary to count
retrying and failure for normal, large, and THP folios separately.
Because we don't use retrying and failure number of large folios directly.
So, in this patch, we simplified retrying and failure counting of large
folios via counting retrying and failure of normal and large folios
together. This results in the reduced line number.
Previously, in migrate_pages_batch we need to track whether the source
folio is large/THP before splitting. So is_large is used to cache
folio_test_large() result. Now, we don't need that variable any more
because we don't count retrying and failure of large folios (only counting
that of THP folios). So, in this patch, is_large is removed to simplify
the code.
This is just code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected.

All other instances of gup_huge_pXd() perform the unshare check, so update
the PGD-specific function to do so as well.
While checking pgd_write() might seem unusual, this function already
performs such a check via pgd_access_permitted() so this is in line with
the existing implementation.
David said:

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.

This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

There is currently no good way to query the page cache statistics of large
files and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really does not care about per-page information in that

* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page cache

* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that
summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty pages,
pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a specified
range of bytes. It also include a selftest suite that tests some typical
usage. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86 architecture.
This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore,
which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore. Relevant
links:
https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04207.htmlhttps://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04209.html
I have also developed a small tool that computes the memory usage of files
and directories, analogous to the du utility. User can choose between
mincore or cachestat (with cachestat exporting more information than
mincore). To compare the performance of these two options, I benchmarked
the tool on the root directory of a Meta's server machine, each for five
runs:
Using cachestat
real -- Median: 33.377s, Average: 33.475s, Standard Deviation: 0.3602
user -- Median: 4.08s, Average: 4.1078s, Standard Deviation: 0.0742
sys -- Median: 28.823s, Average: 28.8866s, Standard Deviation: 0.2689
Using mincore:
real -- Median: 102.352s, Average: 102.3442s, Standard Deviation: 0.2059
user -- Median: 10.149s, Average: 10.1482s, Standard Deviation: 0.0162
sys -- Median: 91.186s, Average: 91.2084s, Standard Deviation: 0.2046
I also ran both syscalls on a 2TB sparse file:
Using cachestat:
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.009s
Using mincore:
real 0m37.510s
user 0m2.934s
sys 0m34.558s
Very large files like this are the pathological case for mincore. In
fact, to compute the stats for a single 2TB file, mincore takes as long as
cachestat takes to compute the stats for the entire tree! This could
easily happen inadvertently when we run it on subdirectories. Mincore is
clearly not suitable for a general-purpose command line tool.
Regarding security concerns, cachestat() should not pose any additional
issues. The caller already has read permission to the file itself (since
they need an fd to that file to call cachestat). This means that the
caller can access the underlying data in its entirety, which is a much
greater source of information (and as a result, a much greater security
risk) than the cache status itself.
The latest API change (in v13 of the patch series) is suggested by Jens
Axboe. It allows for 64-bit length argument, even on 32-bit architecture
(which is previously not possible due to the limit on the number of
syscall arguments). Furthermore, it eliminates the need for compatibility
handling - every user can use the same ABI.
This patch (of 4):
In preparation for computing recently evicted pages in cachestat, refactor
workingset_refault and lru_gen_refault to expose a helper function that
would test if an evicted page is recently evicted.

Before commit 29ef680ae7 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the
charge path"), all memcg oom killers were delayed to page fault path. And
the explicit wakeup is used in this case:
thread A:
...
if (locked) { // complete oom-kill, hold the lock
mem_cgroup_oom_unlock(memcg);
...
}
...
thread B:
...
if (locked && !memcg->oom_kill_disable) {
...
} else {
schedule(); // can't acquire the lock
...
}
...
The reason is that thread A kicks off the OOM-killer, which leads to
wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task. But thread B is not
guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path after the OOM kills but
before thread A releases the lock.
Now only oom_kill_disable case is handled from the #PF path. In that case
it is userspace to trigger the wake up not the #PF path itself. All
potential paths to free some charges are responsible to call
memcg_oom_recover() , so the explicit wakeup is not needed in the
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() path which doesn't release any memory itself.

mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is only used when the memcg oom handling is
handed over to the edge of the #PF path. Since commit 29ef680ae7
("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") this is the
case only when the kernel memcg oom killer is disabled
(current->memcg_in_oom is only set if memcg->oom_kill_disable). Therefore
a check for oom_kill_disable in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is not
required.

Currently, we approximate the root usage by adding the memcg stats for
anon, file, and conditionally swap (for memsw). To read the memcg stats
we need to invoke an rstat flush. rstat flushes can be expensive, they
scale with the number of cpus and cgroups on the system.
mem_cgroup_usage() is called by memcg_events()->mem_cgroup_threshold()
with irqs disabled, so such an expensive operation with irqs disabled can
cause problems.
Instead, approximate the root usage from global state. This is not 100%
accurate, but the root usage has always been ill-defined anyway.

For the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory file, the admin-guide states: When 1
is written to the file, all zones are compacted such that free memory is
available in contiguous blocks where possible. This can be important for
example in the allocation of huge pages although processes will also
directly compact memory as required
But it was not strictly followed, writing any value would cause all zones
to be compacted.
It has been slightly optimized to comply with the admin-guide. Enforce
the 1 on the unlikely chance that the sysctl handler is ever extended to
do something different.
Commit ef49843841 ("mm/compaction: remove unused variable
sysctl_compact_memory") has also been optimized a bit here, as the
declaration in the external header file has been eliminated, and
sysctl_compact_memory also needs to be verified.

Patch series "memcg: OOM log improvements", v2.
This short patch series brings back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs
that were unnecessarily changed before. It also makes memcg OOM logs
less reliant on printk() internals.
This patch (of 2):
Commit c8713d0b23 ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM")
made sure we dump all the stats in memory.stat during a cgroup OOM, but it
also introduced a slight behavioral change. The code used to print the
non-hierarchical v1 cgroup stats for the entire cgroup subtree, now it
only prints the v2 cgroup stats for the cgroup under OOM.
For cgroup v1 users, this introduces a few problems:
(a) The non-hierarchical stats of the memcg under OOM are no longer
shown.
(b) A couple of v1-only stats (e.g. pgpgin, pgpgout) are no longer
shown.
(c) We show the list of cgroup v2 stats, even in cgroup v1. This list
of stats is not tracked with v1 in mind. While most of the stats seem
to be working on v1, there may be some stats that are not fully or
correctly tracked.
Although OOM log is not set in stone, we should not change it for no
reason. When upgrading the kernel version to a version including commit
c8713d0b23 ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM"), these
behavioral changes are noticed in cgroup v1.
The fix is simple. Commit c8713d0b23 ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat
during cgroup OOM") separated stats formatting from stats display for v2,
to reuse the stats formatting in the OOM logs. Do the same for v1.
Move the v2 specific formatting from memory_stat_format() to
memcg_stat_format(), add memcg1_stat_format() for v1, and make
memory_stat_format() select between them based on cgroup version. Since
memory_stat_show() now works for both v1 & v2, drop memcg_stat_show().

Currently, we format all the memcg stats into a buffer in
mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo() and use pr_info() to dump it to the logs.
However, this buffer is large in size. Although it is currently working
as intended, ther is a dependency between the memcg stats buffer and the
printk record size limit.
If we add more stats in the future and the buffer becomes larger than the
printk record size limit, or if the prink record size limit is reduced,
the logs may be truncated.
It is safer to use seq_buf_do_printk(), which will automatically break up
the buffer at line breaks and issue small printk() calls.
Refactor the code to move the seq_buf from memory_stat_format() to its
callers, and use seq_buf_do_printk() to print the seq_buf in
mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo().

The MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode is intended to block for things that will
finish quickly but not for things that will take a long time. Exactly how
long is too long is not well defined, but waits of tens of milliseconds is
likely non-ideal.
When putting a Chromebook under memory pressure (opening over 90 tabs on a
4GB machine) it was fairly easy to see delays waiting for some locks in
the kcompactd code path of > 100 ms. While the laptop wasn't amazingly
usable in this state, it was still limping along and this state isn't
something artificial. Sometimes we simply end up with a lot of memory
pressure.
Putting the same Chromebook under memory pressure while it was running
Android apps (though not stressing them) showed a much worse result (NOTE:
this was on a older kernel but the codepaths here are similar). Android
apps on ChromeOS currently run from a 128K-block, zlib-compressed,
loopback-mounted squashfs disk. If we get a page fault from something
backed by the squashfs filesystem we could end up holding a folio lock
while reading enough from disk to decompress 128K (and then decompressing
it using the somewhat slow zlib algorithms). That reading goes through
the ext4 subsystem (because it's a loopback mount) before eventually
ending up in the block subsystem. This extra jaunt adds extra overhead.
Without much work I could see cases where we ended up blocked on a folio
lock for over a second. With more extreme memory pressure I could see up
to 25 seconds.
We considered adding a timeout in the case of MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for the
two locks that were seen to be slow [1] and that generated much
discussion. After discussion, it was decided that we should avoid waiting
for the two locks during MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT if they were being held for
IO. We'll continue with the unbounded wait for the more full SYNC modes.
With this change, I couldn't see any slow waits on these locks with my
previous testcases.
NOTE: The reason I stated digging into this originally isn't because some
benchmark had gone awry, but because we've received in-the-field crash
reports where we have a hung task waiting on the page lock (which is the
equivalent code path on old kernels). While the root cause of those
crashes is likely unrelated and won't be fixed by this patch, analyzing
those crash reports did point out these very long waits seemed like
something good to fix. With this patch we should no longer hang waiting
on these locks, but presumably the system will still be in a bad shape and
hang somewhere else.

A memcg pointer in the percpu stock can be accessed by drain_all_stock()
from another cpu in a lockless way. In theory it might lead to an issue,
similar to the one which has been discovered with stock->cached_objcg,
where the pointer was zeroed between the check for being NULL and
dereferencing. In this case the issue is unlikely a real problem, but to
make it bulletproof and similar to stock->cached_objcg, let's annotate all
accesses to stock->cached with READ_ONCE()/WTRITE_ONCE().

UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine
platform.
There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory:
1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it
doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is
very long boot time.
Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable
(i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate
memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point.
2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more
infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but
it provides good boot time.
On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps
onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data
set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted.
3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple)
that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the
system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping
low boot time.
This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2:
background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the
page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that.
The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU
cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt
user experience.
Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want
to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be
implemented later based on user's demands.
Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code:
- memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory
allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory.
- page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page.
When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the
high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation.
EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted
memory:
- accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted.
- range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range
of physical addresses requires acceptance.

Allow API users of kmem_cache_create to specify that they don't want
any slab merge or aliasing (with similar sized objects). Use this in
kfence_test.
The SKB (sk_buff) kmem_cache slab is critical for network performance.
Network stack uses kmem_cache_{alloc,free}_bulk APIs to gain
performance by amortising the alloc/free cost.
For the bulk API to perform efficiently the slub fragmentation need to
be low. Especially for the SLUB allocator, the efficiency of bulk free
API depend on objects belonging to the same slab (page).
When running different network performance microbenchmarks, I started
to notice that performance was reduced (slightly) when machines had
longer uptimes. I believe the cause was 'skbuff_head_cache' got
aliased/merged into the general slub for 256 bytes sized objects (with
my kernel config, without CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY).
For SKB kmem_cache network stack have reasons for not merging, but it
varies depending on kernel config (e.g. CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY).
We want to explicitly set SLAB_NO_MERGE for this kmem_cache.
Another use case for the flag has been described by David Sterba [1]:
> This can be used for more fine grained control over the caches or for
> debugging builds where separate slabs can verify that no objects leak.
> The slab_nomerge boot option is too coarse and would need to be
> enabled on all testing hosts. There are some other ways how to disable
> merging, e.g. a slab constructor but this disables poisoning besides
> that it adds additional overhead. Other flags are internal and may
> have other semantics.
> A concrete example what motivates the flag. During 'btrfs balance'
> slab top reported huge increase in caches like
> 1330095 1330095 100% 0.10K 34105 39 136420K Acpi-ParseExt

The current uses of PageAnon in page table check functions can lead to
type confusion bugs between struct page and slab [1], if slab pages are
accidentally mapped into the user space. This is because slab reuses the
bits in struct page to store its internal states, which renders PageAnon
ineffective on slab pages.
Since slab pages are not expected to be mapped into the user space, this
patch adds BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) checks to make sure that slab pages
are not inadvertently mapped. Otherwise, there must be some bugs in the
kernel.

Without EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, users are allowed to map arbitrary
physical memory regions into the userspace via /dev/mem. At the same
time, pages may change their properties (e.g., from anonymous pages to
named pages) while they are still being mapped in the userspace, leading
to "corruption" detected by the page table check.
To avoid these false positives, this patch makes PAGE_TABLE_CHECK
depends on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM. This dependency is understandable
because PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is a hardening technique but /dev/mem without
STRICT_DEVMEM (i.e., !EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM) is itself a security
problem.
Even with EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, I/O pages may be still allowed to be
mapped via /dev/mem. However, these pages are always considered as named
pages, so they won't break the logic used in the page table check.

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.
In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via
filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't
fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially
leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist. shmem, however, (and by
extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(),
Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read
implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in
zero_page when there's a page missing.

Currently, the memblock debugfs can display the count of memblock_type and
the base and end of the reg. However, when memblock_mark_*() or
memblock_set_node() is executed on some range, the information in the
existing debugfs cannot make it clear why the address is not consecutive.
For example,
cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory

Since a modulo operation is applied right after that,

The zswap writeback mechanism can cause a race condition resulting in
memory corruption, where a swapped out page gets swapped in with data that
was written to a different page.
The race unfolds like this:
1. a page with data A and swap offset X is stored in zswap
2. page A is removed off the LRU by zpool driver for writeback in
zswap-shrink work, data for A is mapped by zpool driver
3. user space program faults and invalidates page entry A, offset X is
considered free
4. kswapd stores page B at offset X in zswap (zswap could also be
full, if so, page B would then be IOed to X, then skip step 5.)
5. entry A is replaced by B in tree->rbroot, this doesn't affect the
local reference held by zswap-shrink work
6. zswap-shrink work writes back A at X, and frees zswap entry A
7. swapin of slot X brings A in memory instead of B
The fix:
Once the swap page cache has been allocated (case ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NEW),
zswap-shrink work just checks that the local zswap_entry reference is
still the same as the one in the tree. If it's not the same it means that
it's either been invalidated or replaced, in both cases the writeback is
aborted because the local entry contains stale data.
Reproducer:
I originally found this by running `stress` overnight to validate my work
on the zswap writeback mechanism, it manifested after hours on my test
machine. The key to make it happen is having zswap writebacks, so
whatever setup pumps /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/written_back_pages should do
the trick.
In order to reproduce this faster on a vm, I setup a system with ~100M of
available memory and a 500M swap file, then running `stress --vm 1
--vm-bytes 300000000 --vm-stride 4000` makes it happen in matter of tens
of minutes. One can speed things up even more by swinging
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent up and down between, say, 20
and 1; this makes it reproduce in tens of seconds. It's crucial to set
`--vm-stride` to something other than 4096 otherwise `stress` won't
realize that memory has been corrupted because all pages would have the
same data.

Since commit 1ba3cbf3ec ("mm: kfence: improve the performance of
__kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()"), kfence reports failures in random
places at boot on big endian machines.
The problem is that the new KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN_U64 encodes the address
of each byte in its value, so it needs to be byte swapped on big endian
machines.
The compiler is smart enough to do the le64_to_cpu() at compile time, so
there is no runtime overhead.

After some investigation, I have found the following issue: unlike other
zswap backends, zsmalloc performs the LRU list update at the object
mapping time, rather than when the slot for the object is allocated.
This deviation was discussed and agreed upon during the review process
of the zsmalloc writeback patch series:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y3flcAXNxxrvy3ZH@cmpxchg.org/
Unfortunately, this introduces a subtle bug that occurs when there is a
concurrent store and reclaim, which interleave as follows:
zswap_frontswap_store() shrink_worker()
zs_malloc() zs_zpool_shrink()
spin_lock(&pool->lock) zs_reclaim_page()
zspage = find_get_zspage()
spin_unlock(&pool->lock)
spin_lock(&pool->lock)
zspage = list_first_entry(&pool->lru)
list_del(&zspage->lru)
zspage->lru.next = LIST_POISON1
zspage->lru.prev = LIST_POISON2
spin_unlock(&pool->lock)
zs_map_object()
spin_lock(&pool->lock)
if (!list_empty(&zspage->lru))
list_del(&zspage->lru)
CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(next == LIST_POISON1) /* BOOM */
With the current upstream code, this issue rarely happens. zswap only
triggers writeback when the pool is already full, at which point all
further store attempts are short-circuited. This creates an implicit
pseudo-serialization between reclaim and store. I am working on a new
zswap shrinking mechanism, which makes interleaving reclaim and store
more likely, exposing this bug.
zbud and z3fold do not have this problem, because they perform the LRU
list update in the alloc function, while still holding the pool's lock.
This patch fixes the aforementioned bug by moving the LRU update back to
zs_malloc(), analogous to zbud and z3fold.

When something registers and unregisters many shrinkers, such as:
for x in $(seq 10000); do unshare -Ui true; done
Sometimes the following error is printed to the kernel log:
debugfs: Directory '...' with parent 'shrinker' already present!
This occurs since commit badc28d492 ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in
shrinker debugfs") / v6.2: Since the call to `debugfs_remove_recursive`
was moved outside the `shrinker_rwsem`/`shrinker_mutex` lock, but the call
to `ida_free` stayed inside, a newly registered shrinker can be
re-assigned that ID and attempt to create the debugfs directory before the
directory from the previous shrinker has been removed.
The locking changes in commit f95bdb700b ("mm: vmscan: make global slab
shrink lockless") made the race condition more likely, though it existed
before then.
Commit badc28d492 ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfs")
could be reverted since the issue is addressed should no longer occur
since the count and scan operations are lockless since commit 20cd1892fc
("mm: shrinkers: make count and scan in shrinker debugfs lockless").
However, since this is a contended lock, prefer instead moving `ida_free`
outside the lock to avoid the race.

The allocated dmapool pages are never freed for the lifetime of the pool.
There is no need for the two level list+stack lookup for finding a free
block since nothing is ever removed from the list. Just use a simple
stack, reducing time complexity to constant.
The implementation inserts the stack linking elements and the dma handle
of the block within itself when freed. This means the smallest possible
dmapool block is increased to at most 16 bytes to accommodate these
fields, but there are no exisiting users requesting a dma pool smaller
than that anyway.
Removing the list has a significant change in performance. Using the
kernel's micro-benchmarking self test:
Before:
# modprobe dmapool_test
dmapool test: size:16 blocks:8192 time:57282
dmapool test: size:64 blocks:8192 time:172562
dmapool test: size:256 blocks:8192 time:789247
dmapool test: size:1024 blocks:2048 time:371823
dmapool test: size:4096 blocks:1024 time:362237
After:
# modprobe dmapool_test
dmapool test: size:16 blocks:8192 time:24997
dmapool test: size:64 blocks:8192 time:26584
dmapool test: size:256 blocks:8192 time:33542
dmapool test: size:1024 blocks:2048 time:9022
dmapool test: size:4096 blocks:1024 time:6045
The module test allocates quite a few blocks that may not accurately
represent how these pools are used in real life. For a more marco level
benchmark, running fio high-depth + high-batched on nvme, this patch shows
submission and completion latency reduced by ~100usec each, 1% IOPs
improvement, and perf record's time spent in dma_pool_alloc/free were
reduced by half.

If the page is pinned, there's no point in trying to reclaim it.
Furthermore if the page is from the page cache we don't want to reclaim
fs-private data from the page because the pinning process may be writing
to the page at any time and reclaiming fs private info on a dirty page can
upset the filesystem (see link below).

We may still have inconsistent input parameters even if we choose not to
merge and the vma_merge() invariant checks are useful for checking this
with no production runtime cost (these are only relevant when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is specified).
Therefore, perform these checks regardless of whether we merge.
This is relevant, as a recent issue (addressed in commit "mm/mempolicy:
Correctly update prev when policy is equal on mbind") in the mbind logic
was only picked up in the 6.2.y stable branch where these assertions are
performed prior to determining mergeability.
Had this remained the same in mainline this issue may have been picked up
faster, so moving forward let's always check them.

Merge my x86 uaccess updates branch.
The LAM ("Linear Address Masking") updates in this release made me
unhappy about how "access_ok()" was done, and it actually turned out to
have a couple of small bugs in it too. This is my cleanup of the code:
- use the sign bit of the __user pointer rather than masking the
address and checking it against the TASK_SIZE range.
We already did this part for the get/put_user() side, but
'access_ok()' did the naïve "mask and range check" thing, which not
only generates nasty code, but also ended up meaning that __access_ok
itself didn't do a good job, and so copy_from_user_nmi() didn't get
the check right.
- move all the code that is 64-bit only into the 64-bit version of the
header file, so that we don't unnecessarily pollute the shared x86
code and make it look like LAM might work in 32-bit too.
- fix a bug in the address masking (that doesn't end up mattering: in
this case the fix was to just remove the buggy code entirely).
- a couple of trivial cleanups and added commentary about the
access_ok() rules.

The linear address masking (LAM) code made access_ok() more complicated,
in that it now needs to untag the address in order to verify the access
range. See commit 74c228d20a ("x86/uaccess: Provide untagged_addr()
and remove tags before address check").
We were able to avoid that overhead in the get_user/put_user code paths
by simply using the sign bit for the address check, and depending on the
GP fault if the address was non-canonical, which made it all independent
of LAM.
And we can do the same thing for access_ok(): simply check that the user
pointer range has the high bit clear. No need to bother with any
address bit masking.
In fact, we can go a bit further, and just check the starting address
for known small accesses ranges: any accesses that overflow will still
be in the non-canonical area and will still GP fault.
To still make syzkaller catch any potentially unchecked user addresses,
we'll continue to warn about GP faults that are caused by accesses in
the non-canonical range. But we'll limit that to purely "high bit set
and past the one-page 'slop' area".
We could probably just do that "check only starting address" for any
arbitrary range size: realistically all kernel accesses to user space
will be done starting at the low address. But let's leave that kind of
optimization for later. As it is, this already allows us to generate
simpler code and not worry about any tag bits in the address.
The one thing to look out for is the GUP address check: instead of
actually copying data in the virtual address range (and thus bad
addresses being caught by the GP fault), GUP will look up the page
tables manually. As a result, the page table limits need to be checked,
and that was previously implicitly done by the access_ok().
With the relaxed access_ok() check, we need to just do an explicit check
for TASK_SIZE_MAX in the GUP code instead. The GUP code already needs
to do the tag bit unmasking anyway, so there this is all very
straightforward, and there are no LAM issues.

The refactoring in commit f4e9e0e694 ("mm/mempolicy: fix use-after-free
of VMA iterator") introduces a subtle bug which arises when attempting to
apply a new NUMA policy across a range of VMAs in mbind_range().
The refactoring passes a **prev pointer to keep track of the previous VMA
in order to reduce duplication, and in all but one case it keeps this
correctly updated.
The bug arises when a VMA within the specified range has an equivalent
policy as determined by mpol_equal() - which unlike other cases, does not
update prev.
This can result in a situation where, later in the iteration, a VMA is
found whose policy does need to change. At this point, vma_merge() is
invoked with prev pointing to a VMA which is before the previous VMA.
Since vma_merge() discovers the curr VMA by looking for the one
immediately after prev, it will now be in a situation where this VMA is
incorrect and the merge will not proceed correctly.
This is checked in the VM_WARN_ON() invariant case with end >
curr->vm_end, which, if a merge is possible, results in a warning (if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is specified).
I note that vma_merge() performs these invariant checks only after
merge_prev/merge_next are checked, which is debatable as it hides this
issue if no merge is possible even though a buggy situation has arisen.
The solution is simply to update the prev pointer even when policies are
equal.
This caused a bug to arise in the 6.2.y stable tree, and this patch
resolves this bug.

Now the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used by set_zone_contiguous(), which
checks whether the given zone contains holes, and uses
pfn_to_online_page() to validate if the start pfn is online and valid, as
well as using pfn_valid() to validate the end pfn.
However, the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() function may return non-NULL even
if the end pfn of a pageblock is in a memory hole in some situations. For
example, if the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER, which will fall into 2
sub-sections, and the end pfn of the pageblock may be hole even though the
start pfn is online and valid.
See below memory layout as an example and suppose the pageblock order is
MAX_ORDER.
[ 0.000000] Zone ranges:
[ 0.000000] DMA [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000ffffffff]
[ 0.000000] DMA32 empty
[ 0.000000] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001fa7ffffff]
[ 0.000000] Movable zone start for each node
[ 0.000000] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x0000001fa3c7ffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa3c80000-0x0000001fa3ffffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4000000-0x0000001fa402ffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4030000-0x0000001fa40effff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa40f0000-0x0000001fa73cffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa73d0000-0x0000001fa745ffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7460000-0x0000001fa746ffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7470000-0x0000001fa758ffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff]
Focus on the last memory range, and there is a hole for the range [mem
0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff]. That means the last pageblock
will contain the range from 0x1fa7c00000 to 0x1fa7ffffff, since the
pageblock must be 4M aligned. And in this pageblock, these pfns will fall
into 2 sub-section (the sub-section size is 2M aligned).
So, the 1st sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7c00000 - 0x1fa7dfffff
) in this pageblock is valid by calling subsection_map_init() in
free_area_init(), but the 2nd sub-section (indicates pfn range:
0x1fa7e00000 - 0x1fa7ffffff ) in this pageblock is not valid.
This did not break anything until now, but the zone continuous is fragile
in this possible scenario. So as previous discussion[1], it is better to
add some comments to explain this possible issue in case there are some
future pfn walkers that rely on this.

Let's factor out actual disabling of KSM. The existing "mm->def_flags &=
~VM_MERGEABLE;" was essentially a NOP and can be dropped, because
def_flags should never include VM_MERGEABLE. Note that we don't currently
prevent re-enabling KSM.
This should now be faster in case KSM was never enabled, because we only
conditionally iterate all VMAs. Further, it certainly looks cleaner.

Patch series "mm/ksm: improve PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0 handling and cleanup
disabling KSM", v2.
(1) Make PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0 unmerge pages like setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE
does, (2) add a selftest for it and (3) factor out disabling of KSM from
s390/gmap code.
This patch (of 3):
Let's unmerge any KSM pages when setting PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0, and clear
the VM_MERGEABLE flag from all VMAs -- just like KSM would. Of course,
only do that if we previously set PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=1.

This pull request goes with only a few sysctl moves from the
kernel/sysctl.c file, the rest of the work has been put towards
deprecating two API calls which incur recursion and prevent us
from simplifying the registration process / saving memory per
move. Most of the changes have been soaking on linux-next since
v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these
moves instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more
memory since when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its
own file we end up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register
it. To achieve saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed
without requiring the end element being empty, and just have our
registration process rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting
both styles of sysctls would make the sysctl registration pretty
brittle, hard to read and maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's
efforts to do just this [0]. Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE()
for all sysctl registrations also implies doing the work to deprecate
two API calls which use recursion in order to support sysctl
declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove them:
* register_sysctl_table()
* register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end
of this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but
this pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
just kept the stragglers after rc3.
Most of these changes have been soaking on linux-next since around rc3.

The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and
AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see
if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead.

0Day/LKP reported a performance regression for commit 7e12beb8ca
("migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB"). In the commit, the TLB flushing
during page migration is batched. So, in try_to_migrate_one(),
ptep_clear_flush() is replaced with set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending(). In
further investigation, it is found that the TLB flushing can be avoided in
ptep_clear_flush() if the PTE is inaccessible. In fact, we can optimize
in similar way for the batched TLB flushing too to improve the
performance.
So in this patch, we check pte_accessible() before
set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() in try_to_unmap/migrate_one(). Tests show
that the benchmark score of the anon-cow-rand-mt test case of
vm-scalability test suite can improve up to 2.1% with the patch on a Intel
server machine. The TLB flushing IPI can reduce up to 44.3%.

Inserting Ivan Orlov's syzbot fix commit 2ce0bdfebc
("mm: khugepaged: fix kernel BUG in hpage_collapse_scan_file()")
ahead of Jiaqi Yan's and David Stevens's commits
12904d9533 ("mm/khugepaged: recover from poisoned file-backed memory")
cae106dd67 ("mm/khugepaged: refactor collapse_file control flow")
ac492b9c70 ("mm/khugepaged: skip shmem with userfaultfd")
(all of which restructure collapse_file()) did not work out well.
xfstests generic/086 on huge tmpfs (with accelerated khugepaged) freezes
(if not on the first attempt, then the 2nd or 3rd) in find_lock_entries()
while doing drop_caches: the file's xarray seems to have been corrupted,
with find_get_entry() returning nonsense which makes no progress.
Bisection led to ac492b9c70ca; and diff against earlier working linux-next
suggested that it's probably down to an errant xas_store(), which does not
belong with the later changes (and nor does the positioning of warnings).
The later changes look as if they fix the syzbot issue independently.
Remove most of what's left of 2ce0bdfebc: just leave one WARN_ON_ONCE
(xas_error) after the final xas_store() of the multi-index entry.

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

After upgrading build guests to v6.3, rpm started segfaulting for
specific packages, which was bisected to commit 0503ea8f5b ("mm/mmap:
remove __vma_adjust()"). rpm is doing many mremap() operations with file
mappings of its db. The problem is that in vma_merge() case 3 (we merge
with the next vma, expanding it downwards) vm_pgoff is not adjusted as
it should when vm_start changes. As a result the rpm process most likely
sees data from the wrong offset of the file. Fix the vm_pgoff
calculation.
For case 8 this is a non-functional change as the resulting vm_pgoff is
the same.

Core
----
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances.
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers.
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible.
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded
softirq avoidance.
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking.
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft].
- Optimize again the skb struct layout.
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems.
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts.
BPF
---
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized
accesses.
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward.
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types.
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
params.
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton.
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF
open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities.
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF
programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc.
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in
local storage maps.
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps.
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree.
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access()
which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them.
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf.
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations.
Protocols
---------
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address.
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition.
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space
to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf.
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures.
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers.
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction.
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore.
- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter
---------
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged.
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle
IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length
from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP
support.
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore.
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one.
This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used.
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device.
Driver API
----------
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time.
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them.
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI.
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization.
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs.
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink.
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool.
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes.
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device.
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy.
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links.
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory
work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
space.
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers.

Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"After finishing the introduction of the new posix acl api last cycle
the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers are still around in the
filesystems xattr handlers for two reasons:
(1) Because a few filesystems rely on the ->list() method of the
generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers in their ->listxattr() inode
operation.
(2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The
IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether
the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr
handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing
the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would
risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support
and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind).
This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag
as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible
to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr
list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX
ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs
don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore.
Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be
best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at
some point.
For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX
ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use
array-based xattr handler indexing.
This update does simplify the ->listxattr() implementation of all
these filesystems however"

Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
worker from a userspace process.
Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
process they were created from providing stronger security and
accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
ever could've hoped for.
The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
userspace process is generally useful.
The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.
Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.
So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:
- Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.
- Make copy_process() available to core kernel code
- Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
allowing to indicate to copy_process():
- to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
- to not inherit any files from the userspace process
- to ignore signals
After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
arduous journey"

Instead of having callers care about the mmap_min_addr logic for the
lowest valid mapping address (and some of them getting it wrong), just
move the logic into vm_unmapped_area() itself. One less thing for various
architecture cases (and generic helpers) to worry about.
We should really try to make much more of this be common code, but baby
steps..
Without this, vm_unmapped_area() could return an address below
mmap_min_addr (because some caller forgot about that). That then causes
the mmap machinery to think it has found a workable address, but then
later security_mmap_addr(addr) is unhappy about it and the mmap() returns
with a nonsensical error (EPERM).
The proper action is to either return ENOMEM (if the virtual address space
is exhausted), or try to find another address (ie do a bottom-up search
for free addresses after the top-down one failed).
See commit 2afc745f3e ("mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher
address than mmap_min_addr"), which fixed this for one call site (the
generic arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() fallback) but left other cases
alone.

If the page fault handler requests a retry, we will count the fault
multiple times. This is a relatively harmless problem as the retry paths
are not often requested, and the only user-visible problem is that the
fault counter will be slightly higher than it should be. Nevertheless,
userspace only took one fault, and should not see the fact that the kernel
had to retry the fault multiple times.
Move page fault accounting into mm_account_fault() and skip incomplete
faults which will be accounted upon completion.

zsmalloc pool can be compacted concurrently by many contexts,
e.g.
cc1 handle_mm_fault()
do_anonymous_page()
__alloc_pages_slowpath()
try_to_free_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages(
lru_gen_shrink_node()
shrink_slab()
do_shrink_slab()
zs_shrinker_scan()
zs_compact()
Pool compaction is currently (basically) single-threaded as
it is performed under pool->lock. Having multiple compaction
threads results in unnecessary contention, as each thread
competes for pool->lock. This, in turn, affects all zsmalloc
operations such as zs_malloc(), zs_map_object(), zs_free(), etc.
Introduce the pool->compaction_in_progress atomic variable,
which ensures that only one compaction context can run at a
time. This reduces overall pool->lock contention in (corner)
cases when many contexts attempt to shrink zspool simultaneously.

Patch series "mm: process/cgroup ksm support", v9.
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.
Use case 1:
The madvise call is not available in the programming language. An
example for this are programs with forked workloads using a garbage
collected language without pointers. In such a language madvise cannot
be made available.
In addition the addresses of objects get moved around as they are
garbage collected. KSM sharing needs to be enabled "from the outside"
for these type of workloads.
Use case 2:
The same interpreter can also be used for workloads where KSM brings
no benefit or even has overhead. We'd like to be able to enable KSM on
a workload by workload basis.
Use case 3:
With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the
current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number
of sharing opportunities may exist across multiple workloads or jobs (if
they are part of the same security domain). Only a higler level entity
like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its running
one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however doesn't have
the necessary internal workload knowledge to make targeted madvise
calls.
Security concerns:
In previous discussions security concerns have been brought up. The
problem is that an individual workload does not have the knowledge about
what else is running on a machine. Therefore it has to be very
conservative in what memory areas can be shared or not. However, if the
system is dedicated to running multiple jobs within the same security
domain, its the job scheduler that has the knowledge that sharing can be
safely enabled and is even desirable.
Performance:
Experiments with using UKSM have shown a capacity increase of around 20%.
Here are the metrics from an instagram workload (taken from a machine
with 64GB main memory):
full_scans: 445
general_profit: 20158298048
max_page_sharing: 256
merge_across_nodes: 1
pages_shared: 129547
pages_sharing: 5119146
pages_to_scan: 4000
pages_unshared: 1760924
pages_volatile: 10761341
run: 1
sleep_millisecs: 20
stable_node_chains: 167
stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs: 2000
stable_node_dups: 2751
use_zero_pages: 0
zero_pages_sharing: 0
After the service is running for 30 minutes to an hour, 4 to 5 million
shared pages are common for this workload when using KSM.
Detailed changes:
1. New options for prctl system command
This patch series adds two new options to the prctl system call.
The first one allows to enable KSM at the process level and the second
one to query the setting.
The setting will be inherited by child processes.
With the above setting, KSM can be enabled for the seed process of a cgroup
and all processes in the cgroup will inherit the setting.
2. Changes to KSM processing
When KSM is enabled at the process level, the KSM code will iterate
over all the VMA's and enable KSM for the eligible VMA's.
When forking a process that has KSM enabled, the setting will be
inherited by the new child process.
3. Add general_profit metric
The general_profit metric of KSM is specified in the documentation,
but not calculated. This adds the general profit metric to
/sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm.
4. Add more metrics to ksm_stat
This adds the process profit metric to /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
5. Add more tests to ksm_tests and ksm_functional_tests
This adds an option to specify the merge type to the ksm_tests.
This allows to test madvise and prctl KSM.
It also adds a two new tests to ksm_functional_tests: one to test
the new prctl options and the other one is a fork test to verify that
the KSM process setting is inherited by client processes.
This patch (of 3):
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.

1) Introduce new MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag
This introduces the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. When this flag
is set, kernel samepage merging (ksm) gets enabled for all vma's of a
process.
2) Setting VM_MERGEABLE on VMA creation
When a VMA is created, if the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is set, the
VM_MERGEABLE flag will be set for this VMA.
3) support disabling of ksm for a process
This adds the ability to disable ksm for a process if ksm has been
enabled for the process with prctl.
4) add new prctl option to get and set ksm for a process
This adds two new options to the prctl system call
- enable ksm for all vmas of a process (if the vmas support it).
- query if ksm has been enabled for a process.
3. Disabling MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY for storage keys in s390
In the s390 architecture when storage keys are used, the
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY will be disabled.

The permissions for the files here are swapped as "count" is read-only and
"scan" is write-only. While this doesn't really matter as these
permissions don't stop the files being opened for reading/writing as
appropriate, they are shown by "ls -l" and are confusing.

Staring at the comment "Recheck VMA as permissions can change since
migration started" in remove_migration_pte() can result in confusion,
because if the source PTE/PMD indicates write permissions, then there
should be no need to check VMA write permissions when restoring migration
entries or PTE-mapping a PMD.
Commit d3cb8bf608 ("mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion
and mprotect") introduced the maybe_mkwrite() handling in
remove_migration_pte() in 2014, stating that a race between mprotect() and
migration finishing would be possible, and that we could end up with a
writable PTE that should be readable.
However, mprotect() code first updates vma->vm_flags / vma->vm_page_prot
and then walks the page tables to (a) set all present writable PTEs to
read-only and (b) convert all writable migration entries to readable
migration entries. While walking the page tables and modifying the
entries, migration code has to grab the PT locks to synchronize against
concurrent page table modifications.
Assuming migration would find a writable migration entry (while holding
the PT lock) and replace it with a writable present PTE, surely mprotect()
code didn't stumble over the writable migration entry yet (converting it
into a readable migration entry) and would instead wait for the PT lock to
convert the now present writable PTE into a read-only PTE. As mprotect()
didn't finish yet, the behavior is just like migration didn't happen: a
writable PTE will be converted to a read-only PTE.
So it's fine to rely on the writability information in the source PTE/PMD
and not recheck against the VMA as long as we're holding the PT lock to
synchronize with anyone who concurrently wants to downgrade write
permissions (like mprotect()) by first adjusting vma->vm_flags /
vma->vm_page_prot to then walk over the page tables to adjust the page
table entries.
Running test cases that should reveal such races -- mprotect(PROT_READ)
racing with page migration or THP splitting -- for multiple hours did not
reveal an issue with this cleanup.

In commit fd4a7ac329 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split is failed due
to page refcnt"), if the THP splitting fails due to page reference count,
we will retry to improve migration successful rate. But the failed
splitting is counted as migration failure and migration retry, which will
cause duplicated failure counting. So, in this patch, this is fixed via
undoing the failure counting if we decide to retry. The patch is tested
via failure injection.

When we try to unshare a pinned page for a private hugetlb, uffd-wp bit
can get lost during unsharing.
When above condition met, one can lose uffd-wp bit on the privately mapped
hugetlb page. It allows the page to be writable even if it should still be
wr-protected. I assume it can mean data loss.
This should be very rare, only if an unsharing happened on a private
hugetlb page with uffd-wp protected (e.g. in a child which shares the
same page with parent with UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK enabled).
When I wrote the reproducer (provided in the last patch) I needed to
use the newest gup_test cmd introduced by David to trigger it because I
don't even know another way to do a proper RO longerm pin.
Besides that, it needs a bunch of other conditions all met:
(1) hugetlb being mapped privately,
(2) userfaultfd registered with WP and EVENT_FORK,
(3) the user app fork()s, then,
(4) RO longterm pin onto a wr-protected anonymous page.
If it's not impossible to hit in production I'd say extremely rare.
