Patch series "New selftest for mm", v2.
This is a simple test case that reproduces an mm problem[1], where a page
fault races with madvise(), and it is not trivial to reproduce and debug.
This test-case aims to avoid such race problems from happening again,
impacting workloads that leverages external allocators, such as tcmalloc,
jemalloc, etc.

get_free_hugepages() is helpful for other hugepage tests. Export it to

Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages.
This patch (of 2):
1. We always have target in range started with next_page and full free

2. The last split range size is 1 << low and low should be >= 0, then
size >= 1. So page + size != page is always true (because size > 0).
As summary, current_page will not equal to target page.

Patch series "various improvements to the GUP interface", v2.
A series of fixes to simplify and improve the GUP interface with an eye to
providing groundwork to future improvements:-
* __access_remote_vm() and access_remote_vm() are functionally identical,
so make the former static such that in future we can potentially change
the external-facing implementation details of this function.
* Extend is_valid_gup_args() to cover the missing FOLL_TOUCH case, and
simplify things by defining INTERNAL_GUP_FLAGS to check against.
* Adjust __get_user_pages_locked() to explicitly treat a failure to pin any
pages as an error in all circumstances other than FOLL_NOWAIT being
specified, bringing it in line with the nommu implementation of this
function.
* (With many thanks to Arnd who suggested this in the first instance)
Update get_user_page_vma_remote() to explicitly only return a page or an
error, simplifying the interface and avoiding the questionable
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() pattern.
This patch (of 4):
access_remote_vm() passes through parameters to __access_remote_vm()
directly, so remove the __access_remote_vm() function from mm.h and use
access_remote_vm() in the one caller that needs it (ptrace_access_vm()).
This allows future adjustments to the GUP-internal __access_remote_vm()
function while keeping the access_remote_vm() function stable.

Patch series "mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
folio_move_anon_rmap()".
Convert page_move_anon_rmap() to folio_move_anon_rmap(), letting the
callers handle PageAnonExclusive. I'm including cleanup patch #3 because
it fits into the picture and can be done cleaner by the conversion.
This patch (of 3):
Let's move it into the caller: there is a difference between whether an
anon folio can only be mapped by one process (e.g., into one VMA), and
whether it is truly exclusive (e.g., no references -- including GUP --
from other processes).
Further, for large folios the page might not actually be pointing at the
head page of the folio, so it better be handled in the caller. This is a
preparation for converting page_move_anon_rmap() to consume a folio.

It is usually safe to call wp_page_copy() under the VMA lock. The only
unsafe situation is when no anon_vma has been allocated for this VMA, and
we have to look at adjacent VMAs to determine if their anon_vma can be
shared. Since this happens only for the first COW of a page in this VMA,
the majority of calls to wp_page_copy() do not need to fall back to the
mmap_sem.
Add vmf_anon_prepare() as an alternative to anon_vma_prepare() which will
return RETRY if we currently hold the VMA lock and need to allocate an
anon_vma. This lets us drop the check in do_wp_page().

Patch series "Handle more faults under the VMA lock", v2.
At this point, we're handling the majority of file-backed page faults
under the VMA lock, using the ->map_pages entry point. This patch set
attempts to expand that for the following siutations:
- We have to do a read. This could be because we've hit the point in
the readahead window where we need to kick off the next readahead,
or because the page is simply not present in cache.
- We're handling a write fault. Most applications don't do I/O by writes
to shared mmaps for very good reasons, but some do, and it'd be nice
to not make that slow unnecessarily.
- We're doing a COW of a private mapping (both PTE already present
and PTE not-present). These are two different codepaths and I handle
both of them in this patch set.
There is no support in this patch set for drivers to mark themselves as
being VMA lock friendly; they could implement the ->map_pages
vm_operation, but if they do, they would be the first. This is probably
something we want to change at some point in the future, and I've marked
where to make that change in the code.
There is very little performance change in the benchmarks we've run;
mostly because the vast majority of page faults are handled through the
other paths. I still think this patch series is useful for workloads that
may take these paths more often, and just for cleaning up the fault path
in general (it's now clearer why we have to retry in these cases).
This patch (of 6):
Drop the VMA lock instead of the mmap_lock if that's the one which
is held.

Percpu counter's compare and add are separate functions: without locking
around them (which would defeat their purpose), it has been possible to
overflow the intended limit. Imagine all the other CPUs fallocating tmpfs
huge pages to the limit, in between this CPU's compare and its add.
I have not seen reports of that happening; but tmpfs's recent addition of
dquot_alloc_block_nodirty() in between the compare and the add makes it
even more likely, and I'd be uncomfortable to leave it unfixed.
Introduce percpu_counter_limited_add(fbc, limit, amount) to prevent it.
I believe this implementation is correct, and slightly more efficient than
the combination of compare and add (taking the lock once rather than twice
when nearing full - the last 128MiB of a tmpfs volume on a machine with
128 CPUs and 4KiB pages); but it does beg for a better design - when
nearing full, there is no new batching, but the costly percpu counter sum
across CPUs still has to be done, while locked.
Follow __percpu_counter_sum()'s example, including cpu_dying_mask as well
as cpu_online_mask: but shouldn't __percpu_counter_compare() and
__percpu_counter_limited_add() then be adding a num_dying_cpus() to
num_online_cpus(), when they calculate the maximum which could be held
across CPUs? But the times when it matters would be vanishingly rare.

There has been a recurring problem, that when a tmpfs volume is being
filled by racing threads, some fail with ENOSPC (or consequent SIGBUS or
EFAULT) even though all allocations were within the permitted size.
This was a problem since early days, but magnified and complicated by the
addition of huge pages. We have often worked around it by adding some
slop to the tmpfs size, but it's hard to say how much is needed, and some
users prefer not to do that e.g. keeping sparse files in a tightly
tailored tmpfs helps to prevent accidental writing to holes.
This comes from the allocation sequence:
1. check page cache for existing folio
2. check and reserve from vm_enough_memory
3. check and account from size of tmpfs
4. if huge, check page cache for overlapping folio
5. allocate physical folio, huge or small
6. check and charge from mem cgroup limit
7. add to page cache (but maybe another folio already got in).
Concurrent tasks allocating at the same position could deplete the size
allowance and fail. Doing vm_enough_memory and size checks before the
folio allocation was intentional (to limit the load on the page allocator
from this source) and still has some virtue; but memory cgroup never did
that, so I think it's better reordered to favour predictable behaviour.
1. check page cache for existing folio
2. if huge, check page cache for overlapping folio
3. allocate physical folio, huge or small
4. check and charge from mem cgroup limit
5. add to page cache (but maybe another folio already got in)
6. check and reserve from vm_enough_memory
7. check and account from size of tmpfs.
The folio lock held from allocation onwards ensures that the !uptodate
folio cannot be used by others, and can safely be deleted from the cache
if checks 6 or 7 subsequently fail (and those waiting on folio lock
already check that the folio was not truncated once they get the lock);
and the early addition to page cache ensures that racers find it before
they try to duplicate the accounting.
Seize the opportunity to tidy up shmem_get_folio_gfp()'s ENOSPC retrying,
which can be combined inside the new shmem_alloc_and_add_folio(): doing 2
splits twice (once huge, once nonhuge) is not exactly equivalent to trying
5 splits (and giving up early on huge), but let's keep it simple unless
more complication proves necessary.
Userfaultfd is a foreign country: they do things differently there, and
for good reason - to avoid mmap_lock deadlock. Leave ordering in
shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() untouched for now, but I would rather like to
mesh it better with shmem_get_folio_gfp() in the future.

Extract shmem's memcg charging out of shmem_add_to_page_cache(): it's
misleading done there, because many calls are dealing with a swapcache
page, whose memcg is nowadays always remembered while swapped out, then
the charge re-levied when it's brought back into swapcache.
Temporarily move it back up to the shmem_get_folio_gfp() level, where the
memcg was charged before v5.8; but the next commit goes on to move it back
down to a new home.
In making this change, it becomes clear that shmem_swapin_folio() does not
need to know the vma, just the fault mm (if any): call it fault_mm rather
than charge_mm - let mem_cgroup_charge() decide whom to charge.

all along. It has been an irritation: fix their naming at last.

Patch series "shmem,tmpfs: general maintenance".
Mostly just cosmetic mods in mm/shmem.c, but the last two enforcing the
"size=" limit better. 8/8 goes into percpu counter territory, and could
stand alone.
This patch (of 8):
Shave 32 bytes off (the 64-bit) shmem_inode_info. There was a 4-byte
pahole after stop_eviction, better filled by fsflags. And the 24-byte
dir_offsets can only be used by directories, whereas shrinklist and
swaplist only by shmem_mapping() inodes (regular files or long symlinks):
so put those into a union. No change in mm/shmem.c is required for this.

The existing comments in filemap_fault() suggest that, after either a
minor fault has occurred and filemap_get_folio() found a folio in the page
cache, or a major fault arose and __filemap_get_folio(FGP_CREATE...) did
the job (having relied on do_sync_mmap_readahead() or filemap_read_folio()
to read in the folio), the only possible reason it could not be uptodate
is because of an error.
This is not so, as if, for instance, the fault occurred within a VMA which
had the VM_RAND_READ flag set (via madvise() with the MADV_RANDOM flag
specified), this would cause even synchronous readahead to fail to read in
the folio.
I confirmed this by dropping page caches and faulting in memory
madvise()'d this way, observing that this code path was reached on each
occasion.
Clarify the comments to include this case, and additionally update the
comment recently added around the invalidate lock logic to make it clear
the comment explicitly refers to the minor fault case.
In addition, while we're here, refer to folios rather than pages.

The PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL on the pagemap file can be used to get or optionally
clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are
supported in this IOCTL:
- Scan the address range and get the memory ranges matching the provided
criteria. This is performed when the output buffer is specified.
- Write-protect the pages. The PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is used to write-protect
the pages of interest. The PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC aborts the operation if
non-Async Write Protected pages are found. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING``
can be used with or without PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC.
- Both of those operations can be combined into one atomic operation where
we can get and write protect the pages as well.
Following flags about pages are currently supported:
- PAGE_IS_WPALLOWED - Page has async-write-protection enabled
- PAGE_IS_WRITTEN - Page has been written to from the time it was write protected
- PAGE_IS_FILE - Page is file backed
- PAGE_IS_PRESENT - Page is present in the memory
- PAGE_IS_SWAPPED - Page is in swapped
- PAGE_IS_PFNZERO - Page has zero PFN
- PAGE_IS_HUGE - Page is THP or Hugetlb backed
This IOCTL can be extended to get information about more PTE bits. The
entire address range passed by user [start, end) is scanned until either
the user provided buffer is full or max_pages have been found.

Patch series "Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about
PTEs", v33.
*Motivation*
The real motivation for adding PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL is to emulate Windows
GetWriteWatch() and ResetWriteWatch() syscalls [1]. The GetWriteWatch()
retrieves the addresses of the pages that are written to in a region of
virtual memory.
This syscall is used in Windows applications and games etc. This syscall
is being emulated in pretty slow manner in userspace. Our purpose is to
enhance the kernel such that we translate it efficiently in a better way.
Currently some out of tree hack patches are being used to efficiently
emulate it in some kernels. We intend to replace those with these
patches. So the whole gaming on Linux can effectively get benefit from
this. It means there would be tons of users of this code.
CRIU use case [2] was mentioned by Andrei and Danylo:
> Use cases for migrating sparse VMAs are binaries sanitized with ASAN,
> MSAN or TSAN [3]. All of these sanitizers produce sparse mappings of
> shadow memory [4]. Being able to migrate such binaries allows to highly
> reduce the amount of work needed to identify and fix post-migration
> crashes, which happen constantly.
Andrei defines the following uses of this code:
* it is more granular and allows us to track changed pages more
effectively. The current interface can clear dirty bits for the entire
process only. In addition, reading info about pages is a separate
operation. It means we must freeze the process to read information
about all its pages, reset dirty bits, only then we can start dumping
pages. The information about pages becomes more and more outdated,
while we are processing pages. The new interface solves both these
downsides. First, it allows us to read pte bits and clear the
soft-dirty bit atomically. It means that CRIU will not need to freeze
processes to pre-dump their memory. Second, it clears soft-dirty bits
for a specified region of memory. It means CRIU will have actual info
about pages to the moment of dumping them.
* The new interface has to be much faster because basic page filtering
is happening in the kernel. With the old interface, we have to read
pagemap for each page.
*Implementation Evolution (Short Summary)*
From the definition of GetWriteWatch(), we feel like kernel's soft-dirty
feature can be used under the hood with some additions like:
* reset soft-dirty flag for only a specific region of memory instead of
clearing the flag for the entire process
* get and clear soft-dirty flag for a specific region atomically
So we decided to use ioctl on pagemap file to read or/and reset soft-dirty
flag. But using soft-dirty flag, sometimes we get extra pages which weren't
even written. They had become soft-dirty because of VMA merging and
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. This breaks the definition of GetWriteWatch(). We were
able to by-pass this short coming by ignoring VM_SOFTDIRTY until David
reported that mprotect etc messes up the soft-dirty flag while ignoring
VM_SOFTDIRTY [5]. This wasn't happening until [6] got introduced. We
discussed if we can revert these patches. But we could not reach to any
conclusion. So at this point, I made couple of tries to solve this whole
VM_SOFTDIRTY issue by correcting the soft-dirty implementation:
* [7] Correct the bug fixed wrongly back in 2014. It had potential to cause
regression. We left it behind.
* [8] Keep a list of soft-dirty part of a VMA across splits and merges. I
got the reply don't increase the size of the VMA by 8 bytes.
At this point, we left soft-dirty considering it is too much delicate and
userfaultfd [9] seemed like the only way forward. From there onward, we
have been basing soft-dirty emulation on userfaultfd wp feature where
kernel resolves the faults itself when WP_ASYNC feature is used. It was
straight forward to add WP_ASYNC feature in userfautlfd. Now we get only
those pages dirty or written-to which are really written in reality. (PS
There is another WP_UNPOPULATED userfautfd feature is required which is
needed to avoid pre-faulting memory before write-protecting [9].)
All the different masks were added on the request of CRIU devs to create
interface more generic and better.

This patch (of 6):
Add a new userfaultfd-wp feature UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC, that allows
userfaultfd wr-protect faults to be resolved by the kernel directly.
It can be used like a high accuracy version of soft-dirty, without vma
modifications during tracking, and also with ranged support by default
rather than for a whole mm when reset the protections due to existence of
ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT).
Several goals of such a dirty tracking interface:
1. All types of memory should be supported and tracable. This is nature
for soft-dirty but should mention when the context is userfaultfd,
because it used to only support anon/shmem/hugetlb. The problem is for
a dirty tracking purpose these three types may not be enough, and it's
legal to track anything e.g. any page cache writes from mmap.
2. Protections can be applied to partial of a memory range, without vma
split/merge fuss. The hope is that the tracking itself should not
affect any vma layout change. It also helps when reset happens because
the reset will not need mmap write lock which can block the tracee.
3. Accuracy needs to be maintained. This means we need pte markers to work
on any type of VMA.
One could question that, the whole concept of async dirty tracking is not
really close to fundamentally what userfaultfd used to be: it's not "a
fault to be serviced by userspace" anymore. However, using userfaultfd-wp
here as a framework is convenient for us in at least:
1. VM_UFFD_WP vma flag, which has a very good name to suite something like
this, so we don't need VM_YET_ANOTHER_SOFT_DIRTY. Just use a new
feature bit to identify from a sync version of uffd-wp registration.
2. PTE markers logic can be leveraged across the whole kernel to maintain
the uffd-wp bit as long as an arch supports, this also applies to this
case where uffd-wp bit will be a hint to dirty information and it will
not go lost easily (e.g. when some page cache ptes got zapped).
3. Reuse ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT) interface for either starting or
resetting a range of memory, while there's no counterpart in the old
soft-dirty world, hence if this is wanted in a new design we'll need a
new interface otherwise.
We can somehow understand that commonality because uffd-wp was
fundamentally a similar idea of write-protecting pages just like
soft-dirty.
This implementation allows WP_ASYNC to imply WP_UNPOPULATED, because so
far WP_ASYNC seems to not usable if without WP_UNPOPULATE. This also
gives us chance to modify impl of WP_ASYNC just in case it could be not
depending on WP_UNPOPULATED anymore in the future kernels. It's also fine
to imply that because both features will rely on PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP config
option, so they'll show up together (or both missing) in an UFFDIO_API
probe.
vma_can_userfault() now allows any VMA if the userfaultfd registration is
only about async uffd-wp. So we can track dirty for all kinds of memory
including generic file systems (like XFS, EXT4 or BTRFS).
One trick worth mention in do_wp_page() is that we need to manually update
vmf->orig_pte here because it can be used later with a pte_same() check -
this path always has FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID set in the flags.
The major defect of this approach of dirty tracking is we need to populate
the pgtables when tracking starts. Soft-dirty doesn't do it like that.
It's unwanted in the case where the range of memory to track is huge and
unpopulated (e.g., tracking updates on a 10G file with mmap() on top,
without having any page cache installed yet). One way to improve this is
to allow pte markers exist for larger than PTE level for PMD+. That will
not change the interface if to implemented, so we can leave that for
later.

memcg_rstat_updated() uses the value of the state update to keep track of
the magnitude of pending updates, so that we only do a stats flush when
it's worth the work. Most values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() are in
pages, however, a few of them are actually in bytes or KBs.
To put this into perspective, a 512 byte slab allocation today would look
the same as allocating 512 pages. This may result in premature flushes,
which means unnecessary work and latency.
Normalize all the state values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() to pages.
Round up non-zero sub-page to 1 page, because memcg_rstat_updated()
ignores 0 page updates.

Patch series "mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates values", v2.
While working on adjacent code [1], I realized that the values passed into
memcg_rstat_updated() to keep track of the magnitude of pending updates is
consistent. It is mostly in pages, but sometimes it can be in bytes or
KBs. Fix that.
Patch 1 reworks memcg_page_state_unit() so that we can reuse it in patch 2
to check and normalize the units of state updates.

This patch (of 2):
memcg_page_state_unit() is currently used to identify the unit of a memcg
state item so that all stats in memory.stat are in bytes. However, it
lies about the units of WORKINGSET_* stats. These stats actually
represent pages, but we present them to userspace as a scalar number of
events. In retrospect, maybe those stats should have been memcg "events"
rather than memcg "state".
In preparation for using memcg_page_state_unit() for other purposes that
need to know the truthful units of different stat items, break it down
into two helpers:
- memcg_page_state_unit() retuns the actual unit of the item.
- memcg_page_state_output_unit() returns the unit used for output.
Use the latter instead of the former in memcg_page_state_output() and
lruvec_page_state_output(). While we are at it, let's show cgroup v1 some
love and add memcg_page_state_local_output() for consistency.
No functional change intended.

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).
As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct
mem_cgroup_threshold_ary.

In commit d8f5f7e445 ("hugetlb: set hugetlb page flag before
optimizing vmemmap") checks were added to print a warning if
hugetlb_vmemmap_restore was called on a non-hugetlb page.
This was mostly due to ordering issues in the hugetlb page set up and tear
down sequencees. One place missed was the routine
dissolve_free_huge_page.
Naoya Horiguchi noted: "I saw that VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in
hugetlb_vmemmap_restore is triggered when memory_failure() is called on a
free hugetlb page with vmemmap optimization disabled (the warning is not
triggered if vmemmap optimization is enabled). I think that we need check
folio_test_hugetlb() before dissolve_free_huge_page() calls
hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folio()."
Perform the check as suggested by Naoya.

When execute the following command to test clone3 under !CONFIG_TIME_NS:
# make headers && cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3
we can see the following error info:
# [7538] Trying clone3() with flags 0x80 (size 0)
# Invalid argument - Failed to create new process
# [7538] clone3() with flags says: -22 expected 0
not ok 18 [7538] Result (-22) is different than expected (0)
...
# Totals: pass:18 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
This is because if CONFIG_TIME_NS is not set, but the flag
CLONE_NEWTIME (0x80) is used to clone a time namespace, it
will return -EINVAL in copy_time_ns().
If kernel does not support CONFIG_TIME_NS, /proc/self/ns/time
will be not exist, and then we should skip clone3() test with
CLONE_NEWTIME.
With this patch under !CONFIG_TIME_NS:
# make headers && cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3
...
# Time namespaces are not supported
ok 18 # SKIP Skipping clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME
...

Users complained about OOM errors during fork without triggering
compaction. This can be fixed by modifying the flags used in
mas_expected_entries() so that the compaction will be triggered in low
memory situations. Since mas_expected_entries() is only used during fork,
the extra argument does not need to be passed through.
Additionally, the two test_maple_tree test cases and one benchmark test
were altered to use the correct locking type so that allocations would not
trigger sleeping and thus fail. Testing was completed with lockdep atomic
sleep detection.
The additional locking change requires rwsem support additions to the
tools/ directory through the use of pthreads pthread_rwlock_t. With this
change test_maple_tree works in userspace, as a module, and in-kernel.
Users may notice that the system gave up early on attempting to start new
processes instead of attempting to reclaim memory.
