Patch series "mm: Add vma_lookup()", v2.
Many places in the kernel use find_vma() to get a vma and then check the

Other places use the find_vma_intersection() call with add, addr + 1 as

The third use of find_vma() is by developers who do not know that the

Adding the new vma_lookup() function will allow for cleaner code by

potentially reduce the incorrect uses of find_vma().

Logic of find_vma_intersection() is repeated in __do_munmap().
Also, prev is assigned a value before checking vma->vm_start >= end which
might end up on a return statement making that assignment useless.
Calling find_vma_intersection() checks that condition and returns NULL if
no vma is found, hence only the !vma check is needed in __do_munmap().

This patch (of 3):
Before commit e9714acf8c ("mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and

MAP_EXECUTABLE is nowadays essentially ignored by the kernel and does not
relate to VM_MAYEXEC.

set_active_memcg() worked for kernel allocations but was silently ignored
for user pages.
This patch establishes a precedence order for who gets charged:
1. If there is a memcg associated with the page already, that memcg is
charged. This happens during swapin.
2. If an explicit mm is passed, mm->memcg is charged. This happens
during page faults, which can be triggered in remote VMs (eg gup).
3. Otherwise consult the current process context. If there is an
active_memcg, use that. Otherwise, current->mm->memcg.
Previously, if a NULL mm was passed to mem_cgroup_charge (case 3) it would
always charge the root cgroup. Now it looks up the active_memcg first
(falling back to charging the root cgroup if not set).

Patch series "Charge loop device i/o to issuing cgroup", v14.
The loop device runs all i/o to the backing file on a separate kworker
thread which results in all i/o being charged to the root cgroup. This
allows a loop device to be used to trivially bypass resource limits and
other policy. This patch series fixes this gap in accounting.
A simple script to demonstrate this behavior on cgroupv2 machine:
'''
#!/bin/bash
set -e
CGROUP=/sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice
LOOP_DEV=/dev/loop0
if [[ ! -d $CGROUP ]]
then
sudo mkdir $CGROUP
fi
grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events
# Set a memory limit, write more than that limit to tmpfs -> OOM kill
sudo unshare -m bash -c "
echo \$\$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs;
echo 0 > $CGROUP/memory.swap.max;
echo 64M > $CGROUP/memory.max;
mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /tmp;
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/file bs=1M count=256" || true
grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events
# Set a memory limit, write more than that limit through loopback
# device -> no OOM kill
sudo unshare -m bash -c "
echo \$\$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs;
echo 0 > $CGROUP/memory.swap.max;
echo 64M > $CGROUP/memory.max;
mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /tmp;
truncate -s 512m /tmp/backing_file
losetup $LOOP_DEV /tmp/backing_file
dd if=/dev/zero of=$LOOP_DEV bs=1M count=256;
losetup -D $LOOP_DEV" || true
grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events
'''
Naively charging cgroups could result in priority inversions through the
single kworker thread in the case where multiple cgroups are
reading/writing to the same loop device. This patch series does some
minor modification to the loop driver so that each cgroup can make forward
progress independently to avoid this inversion.
With this patch series applied, the above script triggers OOM kills when
writing through the loop device as expected.
This patch (of 3):
Existing uses of loop device may have multiple cgroups reading/writing to
the same device. Simply charging resources for I/O to the backing file
could result in priority inversion where one cgroup gets synchronously
blocked, holding up all other I/O to the loop device.
In order to avoid this priority inversion, we use a single workqueue where
each work item is a "struct loop_worker" which contains a queue of struct
loop_cmds to issue. The loop device maintains a tree mapping blk css_id
-> loop_worker. This allows each cgroup to independently make forward
progress issuing I/O to the backing file.
There is also a single queue for I/O associated with the rootcg which can
be used in cases of extreme memory shortage where we cannot allocate a
loop_worker.
The locking for the tree and queues is fairly heavy handed - we acquire a
per-loop-device spinlock any time either is accessed. The existing
implementation serializes all I/O through a single thread anyways, so I
don't believe this is any worse.

The noinline_for_stack is introduced by commit 666356297e ("vmscan: set
up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_inactive_list()"), its purpose is
to delay the allocation of pagevec as late as possible to save stack
memory. But the commit 2bcf887963 ("mm: take pagevecs off reclaim
stack") replace pagevecs by lists of pages_to_free. So we do not need
noinline_for_stack, just remove it (let the compiler decide whether to
inline).

The below scenario can cause the page counters of the root_mem_cgroup to
be out of balance.
CPU0: CPU1:
objcg = get_obj_cgroup_from_current()
obj_cgroup_charge_pages(objcg)
memcg_reparent_objcgs()
// reparent to root_mem_cgroup
WRITE_ONCE(iter->memcg, parent)
// memcg == root_mem_cgroup
memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg(objcg)
// do not charge to the root_mem_cgroup
try_charge(memcg)
obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages(objcg)
memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg(objcg)
// uncharge from the root_mem_cgroup
refill_stock(memcg)
drain_stock(memcg)
page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->memory)
get_obj_cgroup_from_current() never returns a root_mem_cgroup's objcg, so
we never explicitly charge the root_mem_cgroup. And it's not going to
change. It's all about a race when we got an obj_cgroup pointing at some
non-root memcg, but before we were able to charge it, the cgroup was gone,
objcg was reparented to the root and so we're skipping the charging. Then
we store the objcg pointer and later use to uncharge the root_mem_cgroup.
This can cause the page counter to be less than the actual value.
Although we do not display the value (mem_cgroup_usage) so there shouldn't
be any actual problem, but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE in the
page_counter_cancel(). Who knows if it will trigger? So it is better to

There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array
(memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed.
On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer
array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this
happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least
one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab.
When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one
in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the
right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the
recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system.
One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n>
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All
the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted
objects.
With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So
both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are
gone.
Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have
mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the
number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit
of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does
have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash.
The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and
KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches()
will include the newly added caches without change.

Patch series "mm: memcg/slab: Fix objcg pointer array handling problem", v4.
Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure stores a pointer to objcg pointer array for slab pages. When
the slab has no used objects, it can be freed in free_slab() which will
call kfree() to free the objcg pointer array in
memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups(). If it happens that the objcg pointer
array is the last used object in its slab, that slab may then be freed
which may caused kfree() to be called again.
With the right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows
the recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system. In fact, we have a reproducer that
can cause kernel stack overflow on a s390 system involving kmalloc-rcl-256
and kmalloc-rcl-128 slabs with the following kfree() loop recursively
called 74 times:
[ 285.520739] [<000000000ec432fc>] kfree+0x4bc/0x560 [ 285.520740]
[<000000000ec43466>] __free_slab+0xc6/0x228 [ 285.520741]
[<000000000ec41fc2>] __slab_free+0x3c2/0x3e0 [ 285.520742]
[<000000000ec432fc>] kfree+0x4bc/0x560 : While investigating this issue, I
also found an issue on the allocation side. If the objcg pointer array
happen to come from the same slab or a circular dependency linkage is
formed with multiple slabs, those affected slabs can never be freed again.
This patch series addresses these two issues by introducing a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> caches split from kmalloc-<n> caches. The new set will
only contain non-reclaimable and non-dma objects that are accounted in
memory cgroups whereas the old set are now for unaccounted objects only.
By making this split, all the objcg pointer arrays will come from the
kmalloc-<n> caches, but those caches will never hold any objcg pointer
array. As a result, deeply nested kfree() call and the unfreeable slab
problems are now gone.
This patch (of 4):
Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure may store a pointer to obj_cgroup pointer array for slab pages.
Currently, only the __GFP_ACCOUNT bit is masked off. However, the array
is not readily reclaimable and doesn't need to come from the DMA buffer.
So those GFP bits should be masked off as well.
Do the flag bit clearing at memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups() to make sure
that it is consistently applied no matter where it is called.

Most kmem_cache_alloc() calls are from user context. With instrumentation
enabled, the measured amount of kmem_cache_alloc() calls from non-task
context was about 0.01% of the total.
The irq disable/enable sequence used in this case to access content from
object stock is slow. To optimize for user context access, there are now
two sets of object stocks (in the new obj_stock structure) for task
context and interrupt context access respectively.
The task context object stock can be accessed after disabling preemption
which is cheap in non-preempt kernel. The interrupt context object stock
can only be accessed after disabling interrupt. User context code can
access interrupt object stock, but not vice versa.
The downside of this change is that there are more data stored in local
object stocks and not reflected in the charge counter and the vmstat
arrays. However, this is a small price to pay for better performance.

There are two issues with the current refill_obj_stock() code. First of
all, when nr_bytes reaches over PAGE_SIZE, it calls drain_obj_stock() to
atomically flush out remaining bytes to obj_cgroup, clear cached_objcg and
do a obj_cgroup_put(). It is likely that the same obj_cgroup will be used
again which leads to another call to drain_obj_stock() and
obj_cgroup_get() as well as atomically retrieve the available byte from
obj_cgroup. That is costly. Instead, we should just uncharge the excess
pages, reduce the stock bytes and be done with it. The drain_obj_stock()
function should only be called when obj_cgroup changes.
Secondly, when charging an object of size not less than a page in
obj_cgroup_charge(), it is possible that the remaining bytes to be
refilled to the stock will overflow a page and cause refill_obj_stock() to
uncharge 1 page. To avoid the additional uncharge in this case, a new
allow_uncharge flag is added to refill_obj_stock() which will be set to
false when called from obj_cgroup_charge() so that an uncharge_pages()
call won't be issued right after a charge_pages() call unless the objcg
changes.
A multithreaded kmalloc+kfree microbenchmark on a 2-socket 48-core
96-thread x86-64 system with 96 testing threads were run. Before this
patch, the total number of kilo kmalloc+kfree operations done for a 4k
large object by all the testing threads per second were 4,304 kops/s
(cgroup v1) and 8,478 kops/s (cgroup v2). After applying this patch, the
number were 4,731 (cgroup v1) and 418,142 (cgroup v2) respectively. This
represents a performance improvement of 1.10X (cgroup v1) and 49.3X
(cgroup v2).

Before the new slab memory controller with per object byte charging,
charging and vmstat data update happen only when new slab pages are
allocated or freed. Now they are done with every kmem_cache_alloc() and
kmem_cache_free(). This causes additional overhead for workloads that
generate a lot of alloc and free calls.
The memcg_stock_pcp is used to cache byte charge for a specific obj_cgroup
to reduce that overhead. To further reducing it, this patch makes the
vmstat data cached in the memcg_stock_pcp structure as well until it
accumulates a page size worth of update or when other cached data change.
Caching the vmstat data in the per-cpu stock eliminates two writes to
non-hot cachelines for memcg specific as well as memcg-lruvecs specific
vmstat data by a write to a hot local stock cacheline.
On a 2-socket Cascade Lake server with instrumentation enabled and this
patch applied, it was found that about 20% (634400 out of 3243830) of the
time when mod_objcg_state() is called leads to an actual call to
__mod_objcg_state() after initial boot. When doing parallel kernel build,
the figure was about 17% (24329265 out of 142512465). So caching the
vmstat data reduces the number of calls to __mod_objcg_state() by more
than 80%.

Patch series "mm/memcg: Reduce kmemcache memory accounting overhead", v6.
With the recent introduction of the new slab memory controller, we
eliminate the need for having separate kmemcaches for each memory cgroup
and reduce overall kernel memory usage. However, we also add additional
memory accounting overhead to each call of kmem_cache_alloc() and
kmem_cache_free().
For workloads that require a lot of kmemcache allocations and
de-allocations, they may experience performance regression as illustrated
in [1] and [2].
A simple kernel module that performs repeated loop of 100,000,000
kmem_cache_alloc() and kmem_cache_free() of either a small 32-byte object
or a big 4k object at module init time with a batch size of 4 (4 kmalloc's
followed by 4 kfree's) is used for benchmarking. The benchmarking tool
was run on a kernel based on linux-next-20210419. The test was run on a
CascadeLake server with turbo-boosting disable to reduce run-to-run
variation.
The small object test exercises mainly the object stock charging and
vmstat update code paths. The large object test also exercises the
refill_obj_stock() and __memcg_kmem_charge()/__memcg_kmem_uncharge() code
paths.
With memory accounting disabled, the run time was 3.130s with both small
object big object tests.
With memory accounting enabled, both cgroup v1 and v2 showed similar
results in the small object test. The performance results of the large
object test, however, differed between cgroup v1 and v2.
The execution times with the application of various patches in the
patchset were:
Applied patches Run time Accounting overhead %age 1 %age 2
--------------- -------- ------------------- ------ ------
Small 32-byte object:

N.B. %age 1 = overhead/unpatched overhead
%age 2 = overhead/accounting disabled time
Patch 2 (vmstat data stock caching) helps in both the small object test
and the large v2 object test. It doesn't help much in v1 big object test.
Patch 3 (refill_obj_stock improvement) does help the small object test
but offer significant performance improvement for the large object test
(both v1 and v2).
Patch 4 (eliminating irq disable/enable) helps in all test cases.
To test for the extreme case, a multi-threaded kmalloc/kfree
microbenchmark was run on the 2-socket 48-core 96-thread system with
96 testing threads in the same memcg doing kmalloc+kfree of a 4k object
with accounting enabled for 10s. The total number of kmalloc+kfree done
in kilo operations per second (kops/s) were as follows:
Applied patches v1 kops/s v1 change v2 kops/s v2 change
--------------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
None 3,520 1.00X 6,242 1.00X
1-2 4,304 1.22X 8,478 1.36X
1-3 4,731 1.34X 418,142 66.99X
1-4 4,587 1.30X 438,838 70.30X
With memory accounting disabled, the kmalloc/kfree rate was 1,481,291
kop/s. This test shows how significant the memory accouting overhead
can be in some extreme situations.
For this multithreaded test, the improvement from patch 2 mainly
comes from the conditional atomic xchg of objcg->nr_charged_bytes in
mod_objcg_state(). By using an unconditional xchg, the operation rates
were similar to the unpatched kernel.
Patch 3 elminates the single highly contended cacheline of
objcg->nr_charged_bytes for cgroup v2 leading to a huge performance
improvement. Cgroup v1, however, still has another highly contended
cacheline in the shared page counter &memcg->kmem. So the improvement
is only modest.
Patch 4 helps in cgroup v2, but performs worse in cgroup v1 as
eliminating the irq_disable/irq_enable overhead seems to aggravate the
cacheline contention.

This patch (of 4):
mod_objcg_state() is moved from mm/slab.h to mm/memcontrol.c so that
further optimization can be done to it in later patches without exposing
unnecessary details to other mm components.

With commit 09854ba94c ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification"), after COW,
the idle swap cache page (neither the page nor the corresponding swap
entry is mapped by any process) will be left in the LRU list, even if it's
in the active list or the head of the inactive list. So, the page
reclaimer may take quite some overhead to reclaim these actually unused
pages.
To help the page reclaiming, in this patch, after COW, the idle swap cache
page will be tried to be freed. To avoid to introduce much overhead to
the hot COW code path,
a) there's almost zero overhead for non-swap case via checking
PageSwapCache() firstly.
b) the page lock is acquired via trylock only.
To test the patch, we used pmbench memory accessing benchmark with
working-set larger than available memory on a 2-socket Intel server with a
NVMe SSD as swap device. Test results shows that the pmbench score
increases up to 23.8% with the decreased size of swap cache and swapin
throughput.

Before commit c10d38cc8d ("mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array
accesses to avoid NULL derefs"), the typical code to reference the
swap_info[] is as follows,
type = swp_type(swp_entry);
if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
/* handle invalid swp_entry */;
p = swap_info[type];
/* access fields of *p. OOPS! p may be NULL! */
Because the ordering isn't guaranteed, it's possible that swap_info[type]
is read before "nr_swapfiles". And that may result in NULL pointer
dereference.
So after commit c10d38cc8d, the code becomes,
struct swap_info_struct *swap_type_to_swap_info(int type)
{
if (type >= READ_ONCE(nr_swapfiles))
return NULL;
smp_rmb();
return READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]);
}
/* users */
type = swp_type(swp_entry);
p = swap_type_to_swap_info(type);
if (!p)
/* handle invalid swp_entry */;
/* dereference p */
Where the value of swap_info[type] (that is, "p") is checked to be
non-zero before being dereferenced. So, the NULL deferencing becomes
impossible even if "nr_swapfiles" is read after swap_info[type].
Therefore, the "smp_rmb()" becomes unnecessary.
And, we don't even need to read "nr_swapfiles" here. Because the non-zero
checking for "p" is sufficient. We just need to make sure we will not
access out of the boundary of the array. With the change, nr_swapfiles
will only be accessed with swap_lock held, except in
swapcache_free_entries(). Where the absolute correctness of the value
isn't needed, as described in the comments.
We still need to guarantee swap_info[type] is read before being
dereferenced. That can be satisfied via the data dependency ordering
enforced by READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]). This needs to be paired with
proper write barriers. So smp_store_release() is used in
alloc_swap_info() to guarantee the fields of *swap_info[type] is
initialized before swap_info[type] itself being written. Note that the
fields of *swap_info[type] is initialized to be 0 via kvzalloc() firstly.
The assignment and deferencing of swap_info[type] is like
rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference().

si->swap_file = NULL;

struct inode *inode = si->swap_file->f_mapping->host;[oops!]
Close this race window by using get/put_swap_device() to guard against
concurrent swapoff.
