mm/munlock: protect the per-CPU pagevec by a local_lock_t
The access to mlock_pvec is protected by disabling preemption via get_cpu_var() or implicit by having preemption disabled by the caller (in mlock_page_drain() case). This breaks on PREEMPT_RT since folio_lruvec_lock_irq() acquires a sleeping lock in this section. Create struct mlock_pvec which consits of the local_lock_t and the pagevec. Acquire the local_lock() before accessing the per-CPU pagevec. Replace mlock_page_drain() with a _local() version which is invoked on the local CPU and acquires the local_lock_t and a _remote() version which uses the pagevec from a remote CPU which offline.

mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully
We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated. NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g. x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be cpuless for example. One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node. That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users. This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code - free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes. node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting that. Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat (renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat). generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount
ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE pages. Note that this excludes the special idle page wakeup for fsdax pages, which still happens at refcount 1. This is a separate issue and will be sorted out later. Given that only fsdax pages require the notifiacation when the refcount hits 1 now, the PAGEMAP_OPS Kconfig symbol can go away and be replaced with a FS_DAX check for this hook in the put_page fastpath.

mm/munlock: mlock_vma_page() check against VM_SPECIAL
Although mmap_region() and mlock_fixup() take care that VM_LOCKED is never left set on a VM_SPECIAL vma, there is an interval while file->f_op->mmap() is using vm_insert_page(s), when VM_LOCKED may still be set while VM_SPECIAL bits are added: so mlock_vma_page() should ignore VM_LOCKED while any VM_SPECIAL bits are set. This showed up as a "Bad page" still mlocked, when vfree()ing pages which had been vm_inserted by remap_vmalloc_range_partial(): while release_pages() and __page_cache_release(), and so put_page(), catch pages still mlocked when freeing (and clear_page_mlock() caught them when unmapping), the vfree() path is unprepared for them: fix it? but these pages should not have been mlocked in the first place. I assume that an mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) had been done in the past; or maybe the user got to specify MAP_LOCKED on a vmalloc'ing driver mmap.

mm/munlock: mlock_page() munlock_page() batch by pagevec
A weakness of the page->mlock_count approach is the need for lruvec lock while holding page table lock. That is not an overhead we would allow on normal pages, but I think acceptable just for pages in an mlocked area. But let's try to amortize the extra cost by gathering on per-cpu pagevec before acquiring the lruvec lock. I have an unverified conjecture that the mlock pagevec might work out well for delaying the mlock processing of new file pages until they have got off lru_cache_add()'s pagevec and on to LRU. The initialization of page->mlock_count is subject to races and awkward: 0 or !!PageMlocked or 1? Was it wrong even in the implementation before this commit, which just widens the window? I haven't gone back to think it through. Maybe someone can point out a better way to initialize it. Bringing lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable()'s mlock initialization into mm/mlock.c has helped: mlock_new_page(), using the mlock pagevec, rather than lru_cache_add()'s pagevec. Experimented with various orderings: the right thing seems to be for mlock_page() and mlock_new_page() to TestSetPageMlocked before adding to pagevec, but munlock_page() to leave TestClearPageMlocked to the later pagevec processing. Dropped the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail)s this time around: they have made their point, and the thp_nr_page()s already contain a VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() for that. This still leaves acquiring lruvec locks under page table lock each time the pagevec fills (or a THP is added): which I suppose is rather silly, since they sit on pagevec waiting to be processed long after page table lock has been dropped; but I'm disinclined to uglify the calling sequence until some load shows an actual problem with it (nothing wrong with taking lruvec lock under page table lock, just "nicer" to do it less).

mm/munlock: mlock_pte_range() when mlocking or munlocking
Fill in missing pieces: reimplementation of munlock_vma_pages_range(), required to lower the mlock_counts when munlocking without munmapping; and its complement, implementation of mlock_vma_pages_range(), required to raise the mlock_counts on pages already there when a range is mlocked. Combine them into just the one function mlock_vma_pages_range(), using walk_page_range() to run mlock_pte_range(). This approach fixes the "Very slow unlockall()" of unpopulated PROT_NONE areas, reported in https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/70885d37-62b7-748b-29df-9e94f3291736@gmail.com/ Munlock clears VM_LOCKED at the start, under exclusive mmap_lock; but if a racing truncate or holepunch (depending on i_mmap_rwsem) gets to the pte first, it will not try to munlock the page: leaving release_pages() to correct it when the last reference to the page is gone - that's okay, a page is not evictable anyway while it is held by an extra reference. Mlock sets VM_LOCKED at the start, under exclusive mmap_lock; but if a racing remove_migration_pte() or try_to_unmap_one() (depending on i_mmap_rwsem) gets to the pte first, it will try to mlock the page, then mlock_pte_range() mlock it a second time. This is harder to reproduce, but a more serious race because it could leave the page unevictable indefinitely though the area is munlocked afterwards. Guard against it by setting the (inappropriate) VM_IO flag, and modifying mlock_vma_page() to decline such vmas.

mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance
Placing munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() shifts most of the munlocking to clear_page_mlock(), since PageMlocked is typically still set when mapcount has fallen to 0. That is not what we want: we want /proc/vmstat's unevictable_pgs_cleared to remain as a useful check on the integrity of of the mlock/munlock protocol - small numbers are not surprising, but big numbers mean the protocol is not working. That could be easily fixed by placing munlock_vma_page() at the start of page_remove_rmap(); but later in the series we shall want to batch the munlocking, and that too would tend to leave PageMlocked still set at the point when it is checked. So delete clear_page_mlock() now: leave it instead to release_pages() (and __page_cache_release()) to do this backstop clearing of Mlocked, when page refcount has fallen to 0. If a pinned page occasionally gets counted as Mlocked and Unevictable until it is unpinned, that's okay. A slightly regrettable side-effect of this change is that, since release_pages() and __page_cache_release() may be called at interrupt time, those places which update NR_MLOCK with interrupts enabled had better use mod_zone_page_state() than __mod_zone_page_state() (but holding the lruvec lock always has interrupts disabled). This change, forcing Mlocked off when refcount 0 instead of earlier when mapcount 0, is not fundamental: it can be reversed if performance or something else is found to suffer; but this is the easiest way to separate the stats - let's not complicate that without good reason.

mm/munlock: rmap call mlock_vma_page() munlock_vma_page()
Add vma argument to mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page(), make them inline functions which check (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED) before calling mlock_page() and munlock_page() in mm/mlock.c. Add bool compound to mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page(): this is because we have understandable difficulty in accounting pte maps of THPs, and if passed a PageHead page, mlock_page() and munlock_page() cannot tell whether it's a pmd map to be counted or a pte map to be ignored. Add vma arg to page_add_file_rmap() and page_remove_rmap(), like the others, and use that to call mlock_vma_page() at the end of the page adds, and munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() (end or beginning? unimportant, but end was easier for assertions in testing). No page lock is required (although almost all adds happen to hold it): delete the "Serialize with page migration" BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page))s. Certainly page lock did serialize with page migration, but I'm having difficulty explaining why that was ever important. Mlock accounting on THPs has been hard to define, differed between anon and file, involved PageDoubleMap in some places and not others, required clear_page_mlock() at some points. Keep it simple now: just count the pmds and ignore the ptes, there is no reason for ptes to undo pmd mlocks. page_add_new_anon_rmap() callers unchanged: they have long been calling lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable(), which does its own VM_LOCKED handling (it also checks for not VM_SPECIAL: I think that's overcautious, and inconsistent with other checks, that mmap_region() already prevents VM_LOCKED on VM_SPECIAL; but haven't quite convinced myself to change it).

mm/munlock: delete munlock_vma_pages_all(), allow oomreap
munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when mapping in the pte. Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all() on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages. There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(). exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range(). And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas, because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks? No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

mm/munlock: delete page_mlock() and all its works
We have recommended some applications to mlock their userspace, but that turns out to be counter-productive: when many processes mlock the same file, contention on rmap's i_mmap_rwsem can become intolerable at exit: it is needed for write, to remove any vma mapping that file from rmap's tree; but hogged for read by those with mlocks calling page_mlock() (formerly known as try_to_munlock()) on *each* page mapped from the file (the purpose being to find out whether another process has the page mlocked, so therefore it should not be unmlocked yet). Several optimizations have been made in the past: one is to skip page_mlock() when mapcount tells that nothing else has this page mapped; but that doesn't help at all when others do have it mapped. This time around, I initially intended to add a preliminary search of the rmap tree for overlapping VM_LOCKED ranges; but that gets messy with locking order, when in doubt whether a page is actually present; and risks adding even more contention on the i_mmap_rwsem. A solution would be much easier, if only there were space in struct page for an mlock_count... but actually, most of the time, there is space for it - an mlocked page spends most of its life on an unevictable LRU, but since 3.18 removed the scan_unevictable_pages sysctl, that "LRU" has been redundant. Let's try to reuse its page->lru. But leave that until a later patch: in this patch, clear the ground by removing page_mlock(), and all the infrastructure that has gathered around it - which mostly hinders understanding, and will make reviewing new additions harder. Don't mind those old comments about THPs, they date from before 4.5's refcounting rework: splitting is not a risk here. Just keep a minimal version of munlock_vma_page(), as reminder of what it should attend to (in particular, the odd way PGSTRANDED is counted out of PGMUNLOCKED), and likewise a stub for munlock_vma_pages_range(). Move unchanged __mlock_posix_error_return() out of the way, down to above its caller: this series then makes no further change after mlock_fixup(). After this and each following commit, the kernel builds, boots and runs; but with deficiencies which may show up in testing of mlock and munlock. The system calls succeed or fail as before, and mlock remains effective in preventing page reclaim; but meminfo's Unevictable and Mlocked amounts may be shown too low after mlock, grow, then stay too high after munlock: with previously mlocked pages remaining unevictable for too long, until finally unmapped and freed and counts corrected. Normal service will be resumed in "mm/munlock: mlock_pte_range() when mlocking or munlocking".

mm: make slab and vmalloc allocators __GFP_NOLOCKDEP aware
sl?b and vmalloc allocators reduce the given gfp mask for their internal needs. For that they use GFP_RECLAIM_MASK to preserve the reclaim behavior and constrains. __GFP_NOLOCKDEP is not a part of that mask because it doesn't really control the reclaim behavior strictly speaking. On the other hand it tells the underlying page allocator to disable reclaim recursion detection so arguably it should be part of the mask. Having __GFP_NOLOCKDEP in the mask will not alter the behavior in any form so this change is safe pretty much by definition. It also adds a support for this flag to SL?B and vmalloc allocators which will in turn allow its use to kvmalloc as well.

mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttle
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else. This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of the same thin air but better values may be derived Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout. Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim instances have isolated too many pages. This makes no sense, excessive parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion. This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many pages are isolated. The throttled tasks are woken when the number of isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs. There may be some false positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will throttle again if necessary.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.
This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].
Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).
This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.
- If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
enough pages get cleaned
- If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
either reclaimed or put back on the LRU
- If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.
This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.
stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has
four types of worker.
- One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time
- X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
linear write speed of the storage.
- Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files
- Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory
- Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory
X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.
The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero
readers.
The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.
The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.
Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.
First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.
It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all. What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000
congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no

Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward. A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads
For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all. The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.
While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all. This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.
Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.
This patch (of 5):
Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:
- kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
pages can be cleaned.
- Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
inodes.
wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

mm: Add folio_evictable()

mm/writeback: Add __folio_end_writeback()
test_clear_page_writeback() is actually an mm-internal function, although it's named as if it's a pagecache function. Move it to mm/internal.h, rename it to __folio_end_writeback() and change the return type to bool. The conversion from page to folio is mostly about accounting the number of pages being written back, although it does eliminate a couple of calls to compound_head().

mm: Add folio_raw_mapping()
Convert __page_rmapping to folio_raw_mapping and move it to mm/internal.h. It's only a couple of instructions (load and mask), so it's definitely going to be cheaper to inline it than call it. Leave page_rmapping out of line. Change page_anon_vma() to not call folio_raw_mapping() -- it's more efficient to do the subtraction than the mask.

This eliminates all five of the calls to compound_head() in this function, saving 75 bytes at the cost of adding 15 bytes to its one caller, end_page_writeback().

mm/numa: automatically generate node migration order
Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11. We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as Intel's implementation of persistent memory. Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory. Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM contents will be thrown out. Allocations will, at some point, start falling over to the slower persistent memory. That has two nasty properties. First, the newer allocations can end up in the slower persistent memory. Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could be used. This patchset implements a solution to these problems. At the end of the reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being dropped. While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function in any environment where memory tiers exist. This is not perfect. It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings them back to fast DRAM. Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM. This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2 separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node. So the general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node. We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench. On a 2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the DRAM only + disk case. This comes from the reduced disk read throughput (which reduces up to 70.8%). == Open Issues == * Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this new mechanism. A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on. * Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs since it no longer necessarily involves I/O. get_scan_count() for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother scanning anon pages" This patch (of 9): Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a node migration table. This allows creating single migration target for each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of simply discarding colder pages. A node with no target is a "terminal node", so reclaim acts normally there. The migration target does not fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts there to limit complexity. When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically migrated to another node. The biggest problems are knowing when to migrate and to where the migration should be targeted. The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to follow the page allocator fallback lists. Those lists already tell us if memory is full where to look next. It would also be logical to move memory in that order. But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in all the lists. This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B, B->A, A->B, ...). Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate node migration ordering. But, reuse the same data used to generate page allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node(). This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances essentially dictates the ordering for now. It should also be architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working find_next_best_node(). RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent demotion cycles been observed. If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure no cycles are observed. Details are as follows. === What does RCU provide? === Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking for the last node: terminal_node = start_node; while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) { terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node]; } The initial values are: node_demotion[0] = 1; node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE; and are updated to: node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE; node_demotion[1] = 0; What guarantees that the cycle is not observed: node_demotion[0] = 1; node_demotion[1] = 0; and would loop forever? With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop. Since the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has completed. RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes() is called. === What does READ_ONCE() provide? === READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive reads of node_demotion[]. This ensures that any updates are *eventually* observed. Consider the above loop again. The compiler could theoretically read the entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[]. Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering guarantees: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150921204327.GH4029@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ This code is unused for now. It will be called later in the series.

mm: introduce memmap_alloc() to unify memory map allocation
There are several places that allocate memory for the memory map: alloc_node_mem_map() for FLATMEM, sparse_buffer_init() and __populate_section_memmap() for SPARSEMEM. The memory allocated in the FLATMEM case is zeroed and it is never poisoned, regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting. The memory allocated in the SPARSEMEM cases is not zeroed and it is implicitly poisoned inside memblock if CONFIG_PAGE_POISON is set. Introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper for memblock allocators that will be used for both FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM cases and will makei memory map zeroing and poisoning consistent for different memory models.

mmap: make mlock_future_check() global
Patch series "mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas", v20.
This is an implementation of "secret" mappings backed by a file
descriptor.
The file descriptor backing secret memory mappings is created using a
dedicated memfd_secret system call The desired protection mode for the
memory is configured using flags parameter of the system call. The mmap()
of the file descriptor created with memfd_secret() will create a "secret"
memory mapping. The pages in that mapping will be marked as not present
in the direct map and will be present only in the page table of the owning
mm.
Although normally Linux userspace mappings are protected from other users,
such secret mappings are useful for environments where a hostile tenant is
trying to trick the kernel into giving them access to other tenants
mappings.
It's designed to provide the following protections:
* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks. Seceretmem makes
"simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
required complexity of the attack. Along with other protections like
the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents. That
takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
standard attacks.
* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures. Once the
secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
kernel to be transmitted somewhere. The secreremem pages cannot be
accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.
* Harden against exploited kernel flaws. In order to access secretmem,
a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
secrets exfiltration using ptrace.
In the future the secret mappings may be used as a mean to protect guest
memory in a virtual machine host.
For demonstration of secret memory usage we've created a userspace library
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/secret-memory-preloader.git
that does two things: the first is act as a preloader for openssl to
redirect all the OPENSSL_malloc calls to secret memory meaning any secret
keys get automatically protected this way and the other thing it does is
expose the API to the user who needs it. We anticipate that a lot of the
use cases would be like the openssl one: many toolkits that deal with
secret keys already have special handling for the memory to try to give
them greater protection, so this would simply be pluggable into the
toolkits without any need for user application modification.
Hiding secret memory mappings behind an anonymous file allows usage of the
page cache for tracking pages allocated for the "secret" mappings as well
as using address_space_operations for e.g. page migration callbacks.
The anonymous file may be also used implicitly, like hugetlb files, to
implement mmap(MAP_SECRET) and use the secret memory areas with "native"
mm ABIs in the future.
Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance. However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "... can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit

find_suitable_fallback is only shared outside of page_alloc.c for

clever way of allowing compaction.c to share the code or avoid the use
entirely as the function is called on relatively slow paths.

mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables
I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/ discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs). While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory. Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition, we never actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort only. fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a safe way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate() does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads) and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of backend storage. There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy as it does not prefault page tables. II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not overwrite existing data) all individual pages. However, that approach 1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem. 2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple threads. 3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors. "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that easy. III. On MADV_WILLNEED Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because 1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/ preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.". 2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon) don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time might be spent. IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics: 1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in the file system) in case the file might have holes. 2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) readable once. 3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and prefault page tables just like manually writing (or reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated. 4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) writable once. 5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL. 6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables might have been populated. 7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range. 8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the process. While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e., preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty, because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting. MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve preallcoation+prepopulation. Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently suppressed. Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1], however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements -- which should also still be the case. V. Single-threaded performance comparison I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings. V.1: Private mappings POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable -- which result in short population times. The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. V.2: Shared mappings fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables. POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes. POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads. Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ. The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then, FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as dirty. v.3: Detailed results ================================================== 2 MiB MAP_PRIVATE: ************************************************** Anon 4 KiB : Read : 0.119 ms Anon 4

mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault handling
When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported yet. So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling. Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using the generic migration code. This patch reworks the NUMA fault handling to use generic migration implementation to migrate misplaced page. There is no functional change. After the refactor the flow of NUMA fault handling looks just like its PTE counterpart: Acquire ptl Prepare for migration (elevate page refcount) Release ptl Isolate page from lru and elevate page refcount Migrate the misplaced THP If migration fails just restore the old normal PMD. In the old code anon_vma lock was needed to serialize THP migration against THP split, but since then the THP code has been reworked a lot, it seems anon_vma lock is not required anymore to avoid the race. The page refcount elevation when holding ptl should prevent from THP split. Use migrate_misplaced_page() for both base page and THP NUMA hinting fault and remove all the dead and duplicate code.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on
the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.
Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be
exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of
THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.
Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single
CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.
That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of
high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk
allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would
have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the
order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.
