Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with
kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the
match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to
poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would
have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the
pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection.
Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check
kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() disables preemption and pagefaults for
historical reasons. The conversion to io_mapping_map_local_wc(), which
only disables migration, cannot be done wholesale because quite some call
sites need to be updated to accommodate with the changed semantics.
On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() semantics are
problematic due to the implicit disabling of preemption which makes it
impossible to acquire 'sleeping' spinlocks within the mapped atomic
sections.
PREEMPT_RT replaces the preempt_disable() with a migrate_disable() for
more than a decade. It could be argued that this is a justification to do
this unconditionally, but PREEMPT_RT covers only a limited number of
architectures and it disables some functionality which limits the coverage
further.
Limit the replacement to PREEMPT_RT for now. This is also done
kmap_atomic().

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap
becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is
you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we
can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but
just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to
avoid it if we can easily add support for it.
I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we
really wanted to we can add support for that.
To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and
put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

In theory when info->flags & VM_LOCKED we should not be getting
shem_writepage() called so we should be verifying this with a
WARN_ON_ONCE(). Since we should not be swapping then best to ensure we
also don't do the folio split earlier too. So just move the check early
to avoid folio splits in case its a dubious call.
We also have a similar early bail when !total_swap_pages so just move that
earlier to avoid the possible folio split in the same situation.

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping. However we have
check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes
later. Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if

This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

shmem_writepage() sets up variables typically used *after* a possible huge
page split. However even if that does happen the address space mapping
should not change, and the inode does not change either. So it should be
safe to set that from the very beginning.
This commit makes no functional changes.

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2.
I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the
page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the
innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful
to others. It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates
systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap
and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for
those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1).
To see if you hit swap:
mkswap /dev/nvme2n1
swapon /dev/nvme2n1
free -h
With swap - what we see today
=============================
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.2Gi 2.2Gi 1.2Gi
Swap: 99Gi 2.8Gi 97Gi
Without swap
=============
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 387Mi 3.4Gi 2.1Mi 57Mi 3.3Gi
Swap: 99Gi 0B 99Gi

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.3Gi 2.3Gi 1.1Gi

The mix and match remount testing
=================================
# Cannot disable swap after it was first enabled:
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg -c

# Remount with the same noswap option is OK:

This patch (of 6):
Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock on the
writepage() callback so remove it. This sanity check has been lingering
since linux-history days. We remove this as we tidy up the writepage()
callback to make things a bit clearer.

Note that the use of the pagecache by the JFS 'metapage' buffer cache is a
bit odd, and we could probably do without VM-level dirty tracking at all,
but that's a change for another time.

Patch series "remove most callers of write_one_page", v4.
This series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers
internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the
kernel.
This patch (of 3):
We do not need to writeout modified directory blocks immediately when
modifying them while the page is locked. It is enough to do the flush
somewhat later which has the added benefit that inode times can be flushed
as well. It also allows us to stop depending on write_one_page()
function.

Patch series "mm, memcg: cgroup v1 and v2 tunable load/store tearing
fixes", v2.
This patch series helps to prevent load/store tearing in
several cgroup knobs.
As kindly pointed out by Michal Hocko and Roman Gushchin
, the changelog has been rephrased.
Besides, more knobs were checked, according to kind suggestions
from Shakeel Butt and Muchun Song.
This patch (of 4):
The knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group
is not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used.
This is not an actual problem because races are unlikely (the knob is
usually configured long before any workloads hits actual memcg oom)
but it is better to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to prevent compiler from
doing anything funky.
The access of memcg->oom_group is lockless, so it can be
concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read it.

We keep the old fullness (3/4 threshold) reporting in
zs_stats_size_show(). Switch from allmost full/empty stats to
fine-grained per inuse ratio (fullness group) reporting, which gives
signicantly more data on classes fragmentation.

The zsmalloc compaction algorithm has the potential to waste some CPU
cycles, particularly when compacting pages within the same fullness group.
This is due to the way it selects the head page of the fullness list for
source and destination pages, and how it reinserts those pages during each
iteration. The algorithm may first use a page as a migration destination
and then as a migration source, leading to an unnecessary back-and-forth
movement of objects.
Consider the following fullness list:
PageA PageB PageC PageD PageE
During the first iteration, the compaction algorithm will select PageA as
the source and PageB as the destination. All of PageA's objects will be
moved to PageB, and then PageA will be released while PageB is reinserted
into the fullness list.
PageB PageC PageD PageE
During the next iteration, the compaction algorithm will again select the
head of the list as the source and destination, meaning that PageB will
now serve as the source and PageC as the destination. This will result in
the objects being moved away from PageB, the same objects that were just
moved to PageB in the previous iteration.
To prevent this avalanche effect, the compaction algorithm should not
reinsert the destination page between iterations. By doing so, the most
optimal page will continue to be used and its usage ratio will increase,
reducing internal fragmentation. The destination page should only be
reinserted into the fullness list if:
- It becomes full
- No source page is available.
TEST
====
It's very challenging to reliably test this series. I ended up developing
my own synthetic test that has 100% reproducibility. The test generates
significan fragmentation (for each size class) and then performs
compaction for each class individually and tracks the number of memcpy()
in zs_object_copy(), so that we can compare the amount work compaction
does on per-class basis.

Each zspage maintains ->inuse counter which keeps track of the number of
objects stored in the zspage. The ->inuse counter also determines the
zspage's "fullness group" which is calculated as the ratio of the "inuse"
objects to the total number of objects the zspage can hold
(objs_per_zspage). The closer the ->inuse counter is to objs_per_zspage,
the better.
Each size class maintains several fullness lists, that keep track of
zspages of particular "fullness". Pages within each fullness list are
stored in random order with regard to the ->inuse counter. This is
because sorting the zspages by ->inuse counter each time obj_malloc() or
obj_free() is called would be too expensive. However, the ->inuse counter
is still a crucial factor in many situations.
For the two major zsmalloc operations, zs_malloc() and zs_compact(), we
typically select the head zspage from the corresponding fullness list as
the best candidate zspage. However, this assumption is not always
accurate.
For the zs_malloc() operation, the optimal candidate zspage should have
the highest ->inuse counter. This is because the goal is to maximize the
number of ZS_FULL zspages and make full use of all allocated memory.
For the zs_compact() operation, the optimal source zspage should have the
lowest ->inuse counter. This is because compaction needs to move objects
in use to another page before it can release the zspage and return its
physical pages to the buddy allocator. The fewer objects in use, the
quicker compaction can release the zspage. Additionally, compaction is
measured by the number of pages it releases.
This patch reworks the fullness grouping mechanism. Instead of having two
groups - ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY (usage ratio below 3/4) and ZS_ALMOST_FULL (usage
ration above 3/4) - that result in too many zspages being included in the
ALMOST_EMPTY group for specific classes, size classes maintain a larger
number of fullness lists that give strict guarantees on the minimum and
maximum ->inuse values within each group. Each group represents a 10%
change in the ->inuse ratio compared to neighboring groups. In essence,
there are groups for zspages with 0%, 10%, 20% usage ratios, and so on, up
to 100%.
This enhances the selection of candidate zspages for both zs_malloc() and
zs_compact(). A printout of the ->inuse counters of the first 7 zspages
per (random) class fullness group:
class-768 objs_per_zspage 16:
fullness 100%: empty
fullness 99%: empty
fullness 90%: empty
fullness 80%: empty
fullness 70%: empty
fullness 60%: 8 8 9 9 8 8 8
fullness 50%: empty
fullness 40%: 5 5 6 5 5 5 5
fullness 30%: 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
fullness 20%: 2 3 2 3 3 2 2
fullness 10%: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
fullness 0%: empty
The zs_malloc() function searches through the groups of pages starting
with the one having the highest usage ratio. This means that it always
selects a zspage from the group with the least internal fragmentation
(highest usage ratio) and makes it even less fragmented by increasing its
usage ratio.
The zs_compact() function, on the other hand, begins by scanning the group
with the highest fragmentation (lowest usage ratio) to locate the source
page. The first available zspage is selected, and then the function moves
downward to find a destination zspage in the group with the lowest
internal fragmentation (highest usage ratio).

Patch series "zsmalloc: fine-grained fullness and new compaction
algorithm", v4.
Existing zsmalloc page fullness grouping leads to suboptimal page
selection for both zs_malloc() and zs_compact(). This patchset reworks
zsmalloc fullness grouping/classification.
Additinally it also implements new compaction algorithm that is expected
to use less CPU-cycles (as it potentially does fewer memcpy-s in
zs_object_copy()).
Test (synthetic) results can be seen in patch 0003.
This patch (of 4):
This optimization has no effect. It only ensures that when a zspage was
added to its corresponding fullness list, its "inuse" counter was higher
or lower than the "inuse" counter of the zspage at the head of the list.
The intention was to keep busy zspages at the head, so they could be
filled up and moved to the ZS_FULL fullness group more quickly. However,
this doesn't work as the "inuse" counter of a zspage can be modified by
obj_free() but the zspage may still belong to the same fullness list. So,
fix_fullness_group() won't change the zspage's position in relation to the
head's "inuse" counter, leading to a largely random order of zspages
within the fullness list.
For instance, consider a printout of the "inuse" counters of the first 10
zspages in a class that holds 93 objects per zspage:
ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY: 36 67 68 64 35 54 63 52
As we can see the zspage with the lowest "inuse" counter
is actually the head of the fullness list.
Remove this pointless "optimisation".

Using order 4 pages would be helpful for IOMMUs mapping, but trying to get
order 4 pages could spend quite much time in the page allocation. From
the perspective of responsiveness, the deterministic memory allocation
speed, I think, is quite important.
The order 4 allocation with __GFP_RECLAIM may spend much time in reclaim
and compation logic. __GFP_NORETRY also may affect. These cause
unpredictable delay.
To get reasonable allocation speed from dma-buf system heap, use
HIGH_ORDER_GFP for order 4 to avoid reclaim. And let me remove
meaningless __GFP_COMP for order 0.
According to my tests, order 4 with MID_ORDER_GFP could get more number
of order 4 pages but the elapsed times could be very slow.

If HIGH_ORDER_GFP is used for order 4, the number of order 4 could be
decreased but the elapsed time results were quite stable and fast enough.

commit 5478afc55a ("kmsan: fix memcpy tests") uses OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR()
to hide the uninitialized var from the compiler optimizations.
However OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR(uninit) enforces an immediate check of @uninit,
so memcpy tests did not actually check the behavior of memcpy(), because
they always contained a KMSAN report.
Replace OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() with a file-local macro that just clobbers
the memory with a barrier(), and add a test case for memcpy() that does
not expect an error report.
Also reflow kmsan_test.c with clang-format.

Instead of changing the page's tag solely in order to obtain a pointer
with a match-all tag and then changing it back again, just convert the
pointer that we get from kmap_atomic() into one with a match-all tag
before passing it to clear_page().
On a certain microarchitecture, this has been observed to cause a
measurable improvement in microbenchmark performance, presumably as a
result of being able to avoid the atomic operations on the page tag.

%pGp format is used to display 'flags' field of a struct page. However,
some page flags (i.e. PG_buddy, see page-flags.h for more details) are
stored in page_type field. To display human-readable output of page_type,
introduce %pGt format.
It is important to note the meaning of bits are different in page_type.
if page_type is 0xffffffff, no flags are set. Setting PG_buddy
(0x00000080) flag results in a page_type of 0xffffff7f. Clearing a bit
actually means setting a flag. Bits in page_type are inverted when
displaying type names.
Only values for which page_type_has_type() returns true are considered as
page_type, to avoid confusion with mapcount values. if it returns false,
only raw values are displayed and not page type names.

Patch series "mm, printk: introduce new format for page_type", v4.
This series moves PG_slab page flag to page_type, freeing one bit in
page->flags and introduces %pGt format that prints human-readable
page_type like %pGp for printing page flags.
See changelog of patch 2 for more implementation details.
Thanks everyone that gave valuable comments.
This patch (of 3):
Use helper macro to decrease chances of typo when defining pageflag_names.

This adds the following tracepoints to ksm:
- start / stop scan
- ksm enter / exit
- merge a page
- merge a page with ksm
- remove a page
- remove a rmap item
This patch has been split off from the RFC patch series "mm:
process/cgroup ksm support".

On a 16-socket 192-core POWER8 system, the context_switch1_threads
benchmark from will-it-scale (see earlier changelog), upstream can achieve
a rate of about 1 million context switches per second, due to contention
on the mm refcount.
64s meets the prerequisites for CONFIG_MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN, so enable
the option. This increases the above benchmark to 118 million context
switches per second.
This generates 314 additional IPI interrupts on a 144 CPU system doing a
kernel compile, which is in the noise in terms of kernel cycles.

On big systems, the mm refcount can become highly contented when doing a
lot of context switching with threaded applications. user<->idle switch
is one of the important cases. Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this
switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not
viable.
Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the
refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches
zero.
The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they
switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb
mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch
ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm.
A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there
are no references remaining before the mm is freed.
Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to
be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend
not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave
lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to
reduce them if necessary, described in comments.
The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale:
context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2))
This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the
same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread
switching.
[ Rik came up with basically the same idea a few years ago, so credit
to him for that. ]
