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.

shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are
unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active. If it fails to
make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly
then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a
lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the
congestion state is not updated for all BDIs.
This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback
that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no
correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but
that is still better than congestion_wait.

Memcg reclaim throttles on congestion if no reclaim progress is made.
This makes little sense, it might be due to writeback or a host of other
factors.
For !memcg reclaim, it's messy. Direct reclaim primarily is throttled
in the page allocator if it is failing to make progress. Kswapd
throttles if too many pages are under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim.
This patch explicitly throttles if reclaim is failing to make progress.

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.

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

exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being

scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched

trigger to wake it up.
Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.
Patch series
------------
Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry. For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were
6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK
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

Most did not stall at all. A small number reached the timeout.

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.

Isolating a free page in an isolated pageblock is expected to always
work as watermarks don't apply here.
But if __isolate_free_page() failed, due to condition changes, the page
will be left on the free list. And the page will be put back to free
list again via __putback_isolated_page(). This may trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() on page->flags checking in __free_one_page() if
PageReported is set. Or we will corrupt the free list because
list_add() will be called for pages already on another list.
Add a VM_WARN_ON() to complain about this change.

In start_isolate_page_range() undo path, pfn_to_online_page() just
checks the first pfn in a pageblock while __first_valid_page() will
traverse the pageblock until the first online pfn is found. So we may
miss the call to unset_migratetype_isolate() in undo path and pages will
remain isolated unexpectedly.
Fix this by calling undo_isolate_page_range() and this will also help to
simplify the code further. Note we shouldn't ever trigger it because
MAX_ORDER-1 aligned pfn ranges shouldn't contain memory holes now.

Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is
balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of
CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with
patch [1].
For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be
different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable
for the low-memory nodes. Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned
by Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node.
On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory,
like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). On this system, we may want to
specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion
of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads.
Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support
specifying the size of CMA per-node. An example is as follows:
hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G
which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2
respectively. And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to
allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

Support mremap() for hugepage backed vma segment by simply repositioning
page table entries. The page table entries are repositioned to the new
virtual address on mremap().
Hugetlb mremap() support is of course generic; my motivating use case is
a library (hugepage_text), which reloads the ELF text of executables in
hugepages. This significantly increases the execution performance of
said executables.
Restrict the mremap operation on hugepages to up to the size of the
original mapping as the underlying hugetlb reservation is not yet
capable of handling remapping to a larger size.
During the mremap() operation we detect pmd_share'd mappings and we
unshare those during the mremap(). On access and fault the sharing is
established again.

The routines remove_hugetlb_page and destroy_compound_gigantic_page will
remove a gigantic page and make the set of base pages ready to be
returned to a lower level allocator. In the process of doing this, they
make all base pages reference counted.
The routine prep_compound_gigantic_page creates a gigantic page from a
set of base pages. It assumes that all these base pages are reference
counted.
During demotion, a gigantic page will be split into huge pages of a
smaller size. This logically involves use of the routines,
remove_hugetlb_page, and destroy_compound_gigantic_page followed by
prep_compound*_page for each smaller huge page.
When pages are reference counted (ref count >= 0), additional
speculative ref counts could be taken as described in previous commits
[1] and [2]. This could result in errors while demoting a huge page.
Quite a bit of code would need to be created to handle all possible
issues.
Instead of dealing with the possibility of speculative ref counts, avoid
the possibility by keeping ref counts at zero during the demote process.
Add a boolean 'demote' to the routines remove_hugetlb_page,
destroy_compound_gigantic_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page. If the
boolean is set, the remove and destroy routines will not reference count
pages and the prep routine will not expect reference counted pages.
'*_for_demote' wrappers of the routines will be added in a subsequent
patch where this functionality is used.

When huge page demotion is fully implemented, gigantic pages can be
demoted to a smaller huge page size. For example, on x86 a 1G page can
be demoted to 512 2M pages. However, gigantic pages can potentially be
allocated from CMA. If a gigantic page which was allocated from CMA is
demoted, the corresponding demoted pages needs to be returned to CMA.
Use the new interface cma_pages_valid() to determine if a non-gigantic
hugetlb page should be freed to CMA. Also, clear mapping field of these
pages as expected by cma_release.
This also requires a change to CMA region creation for gigantic pages.
CMA uses a per-region bit map to track allocations. When setting up the
region, you specify how many pages each bit represents. Currently, only
gigantic pages are allocated/freed from CMA so the region is set up such
that one bit represents a gigantic page size allocation.
With demote, a gigantic page (allocation) could be split into smaller
size pages. And, these smaller size pages will be freed to CMA. So,
since the per-region bit map needs to be set up to represent the
smallest allocation/free size, it now needs to be set to the smallest
huge page size which can be freed to CMA.
Unfortunately, we set up the CMA region for huge pages before we set up
huge pages sizes (hstates). So, technically we do not know the smallest
huge page size as this can change via command line options and
architecture specific code. Therefore, at region setup time we use
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER as the smallest possible huge page size that can be
given back to CMA. It is possible that this value is sub-optimal for
some architectures/config options. If needed, this can be addressed in
follow on work.

Patch series "hugetlb: add demote/split page functionality", v4.
The concurrent use of multiple hugetlb page sizes on a single system is
becoming more common. One of the reasons is better TLB support for
gigantic page sizes on x86 hardware. In addition, hugetlb pages are
being used to back VMs in hosting environments.
When using hugetlb pages to back VMs, it is often desirable to
preallocate hugetlb pools. This avoids the delay and uncertainty of
allocating hugetlb pages at VM startup. In addition, preallocating huge
pages minimizes the issue of memory fragmentation that increases the
longer the system is up and running.
In such environments, a combination of larger and smaller hugetlb pages
are preallocated in anticipation of backing VMs of various sizes. Over
time, the preallocated pool of smaller hugetlb pages may become depleted
while larger hugetlb pages still remain. In such situations, it is
desirable to convert larger hugetlb pages to smaller hugetlb pages.
Converting larger to smaller hugetlb pages can be accomplished today by
first freeing the larger page to the buddy allocator and then allocating
the smaller pages. For example, to convert 50 GB pages on x86:
gb_pages=`cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages`
m2_pages=`cat .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages`
echo $(($gb_pages - 50)) > .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
echo $(($m2_pages + 25600)) > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
On an idle system this operation is fairly reliable and results are as
expected. The number of 2MB pages is increased as expected and the time
of the operation is a second or two.
However, when there is activity on the system the following issues
arise:
1) This process can take quite some time, especially if allocation of
the smaller pages is not immediate and requires migration/compaction.
2) There is no guarantee that the total size of smaller pages allocated
will match the size of the larger page which was freed. This is
because the area freed by the larger page could quickly be
fragmented.
In a test environment with a load that continually fills the page cache
with clean pages, results such as the following can be observed:
Unexpected number of 2MB pages allocated: Expected 25600, have 19944
real 0m42.092s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m41.467s
To address these issues, introduce the concept of hugetlb page demotion.
Demotion provides a means of 'in place' splitting of a hugetlb page to
pages of a smaller size. This avoids freeing pages to buddy and then
trying to allocate from buddy.
Page demotion is controlled via sysfs files that reside in the per-hugetlb
page size and per node directories.
- demote_size
Target page size for demotion, a smaller huge page size. File
can be written to chose a smaller huge page size if multiple are
available.
- demote
Writable number of hugetlb pages to be demoted
To demote 50 GB huge pages, one would:
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages /* optional, verify free pages */
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size /* optional, verify target size */
echo 50 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Only hugetlb pages which are free at the time of the request can be
demoted. Demotion does not add to the complexity of surplus pages and
honors reserved huge pages. Therefore, when a value is written to the
sysfs demote file, that value is only the maximum number of pages which
will be demoted. It is possible fewer will actually be demoted. The
recently introduced per-hstate mutex is used to synchronize demote
operations with other operations that modify hugetlb pools.
Real world use cases
--------------------
The above scenario describes a real world use case where hugetlb pages
are used to back VMs on x86. Both issues of long allocation times and
not necessarily getting the expected number of smaller huge pages after
a free and allocate cycle have been experienced. The occurrence of
these issues is dependent on other activity within the host and can not
be predicted.
This patch (of 5):
Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are
both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are:
demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write)
demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only)
By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge
page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When
huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size.
Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that
number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages.
NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there
is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge
pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote
interfaces.
This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides
the sysfs interfaces.
It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache
regardless of dirty or clean. If the page is dirty the later access
will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the
users. This may cause silent data loss. It is even worse for shmem
since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means
discarding data blocks. The later read would return all zero.
The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any
later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault,
until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed. The regular
storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is
focused on shmem. This also unblock the support for soft offlining
shmem THP.

Memory failure will report failure if the page still has extra pinned
refcount other than from hwpoison after the handler is done. Actually
the check is not necessary for all handlers, so move the check into
specific handlers. This would make the following keeping shmem page in

There may be expected extra pin for some cases, for example, when the
page is dirty and in swapcache.

Patch series "Solve silent data loss caused by poisoned page cache (shmem/tmpfs)", v5.
When discussing the patch that splits page cache THP in order to offline
the poisoned page, Noaya mentioned there is a bigger problem [1] that
prevents this from working since the page cache page will be truncated
if uncorrectable errors happen. By looking this deeper it turns out
this approach (truncating poisoned page) may incur silent data loss for
all non-readonly filesystems if the page is dirty. It may be worse for
in-memory filesystem, e.g. shmem/tmpfs since the data blocks are
actually gone.
To solve this problem we could keep the poisoned dirty page in page
cache then notify the users on any later access, e.g. page fault,
read/write, etc. The clean page could be truncated as is since they can
be reread from disk later on.
The consequence is the filesystems may find poisoned page and manipulate
it as healthy page since all the filesystems actually don't check if the
page is poisoned or not in all the relevant paths except page fault. In
general, we need make the filesystems be aware of poisoned page before
we could keep the poisoned page in page cache in order to solve the data
loss problem.
To make filesystems be aware of poisoned page we should consider:
- The page should be not written back: clearing dirty flag could
prevent from writeback.
- The page should not be dropped (it shows as a clean page) by drop
caches or other callers: the refcount pin from hwpoison could prevent
from invalidating (called by cache drop, inode cache shrinking, etc),
but it doesn't avoid invalidation in DIO path.
- The page should be able to get truncated/hole punched/unlinked: it
works as it is.
- Notify users when the page is accessed, e.g. read/write, page fault
and other paths (compression, encryption, etc).
The scope of the last one is huge since almost all filesystems need do
it once a page is returned from page cache lookup. There are a couple
of options to do it:
1. Check hwpoison flag for every path, the most straightforward way.
2. Return NULL for poisoned page from page cache lookup, the most
callsites check if NULL is returned, this should have least work I
think. But the error handling in filesystems just return -ENOMEM,
the error code will incur confusion to the users obviously.
3. To improve #2, we could return error pointer, e.g. ERR_PTR(-EIO),
but this will involve significant amount of code change as well
since all the paths need check if the pointer is ERR or not just
like option #1.
I did prototypes for both #1 and #3, but it seems #3 may require more
changes than #1. For #3 ERR_PTR will be returned so all the callers
need to check the return value otherwise invalid pointer may be
dereferenced, but not all callers really care about the content of the
page, for example, partial truncate which just sets the truncated range
in one page to 0. So for such paths it needs additional modification if
ERR_PTR is returned. And if the callers have their own way to handle
the problematic pages we need to add a new FGP flag to tell FGP
functions to return the pointer to the page.
It may happen very rarely, but once it happens the consequence (data
corruption) could be very bad and it is very hard to debug. It seems
this problem had been slightly discussed before, but seems no action was
taken at that time. [2]
As the aforementioned investigation, it needs huge amount of work to
solve the potential data loss for all filesystems. But it is much
easier for in-memory filesystems and such filesystems actually suffer
more than others since even the data blocks are gone due to truncating.
So this patchset starts from shmem/tmpfs by taking option #1.
TODO:
* The unpoison has been broken since commit 0ed950d1f2 ("mm,hwpoison: make
get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page()"), and this patch series make
refcount check for unpoisoning shmem page fail.
* Expand to other filesystems. But I haven't heard feedback from filesystem
developers yet.
Patch breakdown:
Patch #1: cleanup, depended by patch #2
Patch #2: fix THP with hwpoisoned subpage(s) PMD map bug
Patch #3: coding style cleanup
Patch #4: refactor and preparation.
Patch #5: keep the poisoned page in page cache and handle such case for all
the paths.
Patch #6: the previous patches unblock page cache THP split, so this patch
add page cache THP split support.
This patch (of 4):
A minor cleanup to the indent.

drain_local_pages_wq() disables preemption to avoid CPU migration during
CPU hotplug and can't use cpus_read_lock().
Using migrate_disable() works here, too. The scheduler won't take the
CPU offline until the task left the migrate-disable section. The
problem with disabled preemption here is that drain_local_pages()
acquires locks which are turned into sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT and
can't be acquired with disabled preemption.
Use migrate_disable() in drain_local_pages_wq().

It can be reproduced with command:

The reason is that in this case, the target cpuset nodes only have
movable zone, while the creation of an OS in docker sometimes needs to
allocate memory in non-movable zones (dma/dma32/normal) like
GFP_HIGHUSER, and the cpuset limit forbids the allocation, then
out-of-memory killing is involved even when normal nodes and movable
nodes both have many free memory.
The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no
usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope. The only reasonable
measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller
to deal with it.
So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and
bail out early returning NULL for the allocation.
As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will
hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check
and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that
the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.
[thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling
it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments]

In build_zonelists(), when the fallback list is built for the nodes, the
node load gets reinitialized during each iteration. This results in
nodes with same distances occupying the same slot in different node
fallback lists rather than appearing in the intended round- robin
manner. This results in one node getting picked for allocation more
compared to other nodes with the same distance.
As an example, consider a 4 node system with the following distance
matrix.
Node 0 1 2 3
----------------
0 10 12 32 32
1 12 10 32 32
2 32 32 10 12
3 32 32 12 10
For this case, the node fallback list gets built like this:
Node Fallback list
---------------------
0 0 1 2 3
1 1 0 3 2
2 2 3 0 1
3 3 2 0 1 <-- Unexpected fallback order
In the fallback list for nodes 2 and 3, the nodes 0 and 1 appear in the
same order which results in more allocations getting satisfied from node
0 compared to node 1.
The effect of this on remote memory bandwidth as seen by stream
benchmark is shown below:
Case 1: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 2 & 3 to memory on nodes 0 & 1
(numactl -m 0,1 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 2, 3>)
Case 2: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 0 & 1 to memory on nodes 2 & 3
(numactl -m 2,3 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 0, 1>)
----------------------------------------
BANDWIDTH (MB/s)
TEST Case 1 Case 2
----------------------------------------
COPY 57479.6 110791.8
SCALE 55372.9 105685.9
ADD 50460.6 96734.2
TRIADD 50397.6 97119.1
----------------------------------------
The bandwidth drop in Case 1 occurs because most of the allocations get
satisfied by node 0 as it appears first in the fallback order for both
nodes 2 and 3.
This can be fixed by accumulating the node load in build_zonelists()
rather than reinitializing it during each iteration. With this the
nodes with the same distance rightly get assigned in the round robin
manner.
In fact this was how it was originally until commit f0c0b2b808
("change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic") dropped the
load accumulation and resorted to initializing the load during each
iteration.
While zonelist ordering was removed by commit c9bff3eebc ("mm,
page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE"), the change to the node load
accumulation in build_zonelists() remained. So essentially this patch
reverts back to the accumulated node load logic.
After this fix, the fallback order gets built like this:
Node Fallback list
------------------
0 0 1 2 3
1 1 0 3 2
2 2 3 0 1
3 3 2 1 0 <-- Note the change here
The bandwidth in Case 1 improves and matches Case 2 as shown below.

TRIADD 97441.5 96757.1
----------------------------------------
The correctness of the fallback list generation has been verified for
the above node configuration where the node 3 starts as memory-less node
and comes up online only during memory hotplug.

Patch series "Fix NUMA nodes fallback list ordering".
For a NUMA system that has multiple nodes at same distance from other
nodes, the fallback list generation prefers same node order for them
instead of round-robin thereby penalizing one node over others. This
series fixes it.
More description of the problem and the fix is present in the patch
description.

NUMA node during boot.
No functional changes here. This makes it easier to illustrate the
problem in the node fallback list generation, which the next patch

Commit ffb29b1c25 ("mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash
tables") can cause significant performance regressions in some
situations as Andrew mentioned in [1]. The main situation is vmalloc,
vmalloc will allocate pages with NUMA_NO_NODE by default, that will
result in alloc page one by one;
In order to solve this, __alloc_pages_bulk and mempolicy should be
considered at the same time.
1) If node is specified in memory allocation request, it will alloc all
pages by __alloc_pages_bulk.
2) If interleaving allocate memory, it will cauculate how many pages
should be allocated in each node, and use __alloc_pages_bulk to alloc
pages in each node.

Percpu embedded first chunk allocator is the firstly option, but it
could fail on ARM64, eg,
percpu: max_distance=0x5fcfdc640000 too large for vmalloc space 0x781fefff0000
percpu: max_distance=0x600000540000 too large for vmalloc space 0x7dffb7ff0000
percpu: max_distance=0x5fff9adb0000 too large for vmalloc space 0x5dffb7ff0000
then we could get to
WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 461 at vmalloc.c:3087 pcpu_get_vm_areas+0x488/0x838
and the system cannot boot successfully.
Let's implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback
to the embedding allocator to increase the robustness of the system.
Also fix a crash when both NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK and
KASAN_VMALLOC enabled.
Tested on ARM64 qemu with cmdline "percpu_alloc=page".
This patch (of 3):
There are some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved in
ARM(see iotable_init()) and ARM64(see map_kernel()), but for
pcpu_page_first_chunk(), it calls vm_area_register_early() and choose
VMALLOC_START as the start address of vmap area which could be
conflicted with above address, then could trigger a BUG_ON in
vm_area_add_early().
Let's choose a suit start address by traversing the vmlist.

Huge vmalloc allocation on heavy loaded node can lead to a global memory
shortage. Task called vmalloc can have worst badness and be selected by
OOM-killer, however taken fatal signal does not interrupt allocation
cycle. Vmalloc repeat page allocaions again and again, exacerbating the
crisis and consuming the memory freed up by another killed tasks.
After a successful completion of the allocation procedure, a fatal
signal will be processed and task will be destroyed finally. However it
may not release the consumed memory, since the allocated object may have
a lifetime unrelated to the completed task. In the worst case, this can
lead to the host will panic due to "Out of memory and no killable
processes..."
This patch allows OOM-killer to break vmalloc cycle, makes OOM more
effective and avoid host panic. It does not check oom condition
directly, however, and breaks page allocation cycle when fatal signal
was received.
This may trigger some hidden problems, when caller does not handle
vmalloc failures, or when rollaback after failed vmalloc calls own
vmallocs inside. However all of these scenarios are incorrect: vmalloc
does not guarantee successful allocation, it has never been called with
__GFP_NOFAIL and threfore either should not be used for any rollbacks or
should handle such errors correctly and not lead to critical failures.

Before we did not guarantee a free block with lowest start address for
allocations with alignment >= PAGE_SIZE. Because an alignment overhead
was included into a search length like below:
length = size + align - 1;
doing so we make sure that a bigger block would fit after applying an
alignment adjustment. Now there is no such limitation, i.e. any
alignment that user wants to apply will result to a lowest address of
returned free area.

We used to include an alignment overhead into a search length, in that
case we guarantee that a found area will definitely fit after applying a
specific alignment that user specifies. From the other hand we do not
guarantee that an area has the lowest address if an alignment is >=
PAGE_SIZE.
It means that, when a user specifies a special alignment together with a
range that corresponds to an exact requested size then an allocation
will fail. This is what happens to KASAN, it wants the free block that
exactly matches a specified range during onlining memory banks:

The vmalloc guard pages are added on top of each allocation, thereby
isolating any two allocations from one another. The top guard of the
lower allocation is the bottom guard guard of the higher allocation etc.
Therefore VM_NO_GUARD is dangerous; it breaks the basic premise of
isolating separate allocations.
There are only two in-tree users of this flag, neither of which use it
through the exported interface. Ensure it stays this way.

All this vm_unacct_memory(charged) dance seems to complicate the life
without a good reason. Furthermore, it seems not always done right on
error-pathes in mremap_to(). And worse than that: this `charged'
difference is sometimes double-accounted for growing MREMAP_DONTUNMAP
mremap()s in move_vma():
if (security_vm_enough_memory_mm(mm, new_len >> PAGE_SHIFT))
Let's not do this. Account memory in mremap() fast-path for growing
VMAs or in move_vma() for actually moving things. The same simpler way
as it's done by vm_stat_account(), but with a difference to call
security_vm_enough_memory_mm() before copying/adjusting VMA.

The smp_wmb() which is in the __pte_alloc() is used to ensure all ptes
setup is visible before the pte is made visible to other CPUs by being
put into page tables. We only need this when the pte is actually
populated, so move it to pmd_install(). __pte_alloc_kernel(),
__p4d_alloc(), __pud_alloc() and __pmd_alloc() are similar to this case.
We can also defer smp_wmb() to the place where the pmd entry is really
populated by preallocated pte. There are two kinds of user of
preallocated pte, one is filemap & finish_fault(), another is THP. The
former does not need another smp_wmb() because the smp_wmb() has been
done by pmd_install(). Fortunately, the latter also does not need
another smp_wmb() because there is already a smp_wmb() before populating
the new pte when the THP uses a preallocated pte to split a huge pmd.

Use the helper for the checks. Rename "check_mapping" into
"zap_mapping" because "check_mapping" looks like a bool but in fact it
stores the mapping itself. When it's set, we check the mapping (it must
be non-NULL). When it's cleared we skip the check, which works like the
old way.
Move the duplicated comments to the helper too.

pte_unmap_same() will always unmap the pte pointer. After the unmap,
vmf->pte will not be valid any more, we should clear it.
It was safe only because no one is accessing vmf->pte after
pte_unmap_same() returns, since the only caller of pte_unmap_same() (so
far) is do_swap_page(), where vmf->pte will in most cases be overwritten
very soon.
Directly pass in vmf into pte_unmap_same() and then we can also avoid
the long parameter list too, which should be a nice cleanup.

that we use SetPageDirty() instead. However that's not necessary and it
should be easier and cleaner to do it unconditionally in
mfill_atomic_install_pte().
The most recent discussion about this is here, where Hugh explained the
history of SetPageDirty() and why it's possible that it's not required
at all:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/alpine.LSU.2.11.2104121657050.1097@eggly.anvils/
Currently mfill_atomic_install_pte() has three callers:
1. shmem_mfill_atomic_pte
2. mcopy_atomic_pte
3. mcontinue_atomic_pte
After the change: case (1) should have its SetPageDirty replaced by the
dirty bit on pte (so we unify them together, finally), case (2) should
have no functional change at all as it has page_in_cache==false, case
(3) may add a dirty bit to the pte. However since case (3) is
UFFDIO_CONTINUE for shmem, it's merely 100% sure the page is dirty after
all because UFFDIO_CONTINUE normally requires another process to modify
the page cache and kick the faulted thread, so should not make a real
difference either.
This should make it much easier to follow on which case will set dirty
for uffd, as we'll simply set it all now for all uffd related ioctls.
Meanwhile, no special handling of SetPageDirty() if there's no need.

Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard
limit. It is assumed that the amount of the memory charged by those
tasks is bound and most of the memory will get released while the task
is exiting. This is resembling a heuristic for the global OOM situation
when tasks get access to memory reserves. There is no global memory
shortage at the memcg level so the memcg heuristic is more relieved.
The above assumption is overly optimistic though. E.g. vmalloc can
scale to really large requests and the heuristic would allow that. We
used to have an early break in the vmalloc allocator for killed tasks
but this has been reverted by commit b8c8a338f7 ("Revert "vmalloc:
back off when the current task is killed""). There are likely other
similar code paths which do not check for fatal signals in an
allocation&charge loop. Also there are some kernel objects charged to a
memcg which are not bound to a process life time.
It has been observed that it is not really hard to trigger these
bypasses and cause global OOM situation.
One potential way to address these runaways would be to limit the amount
of excess (similar to the global OOM with limited oom reserves). This
is certainly possible but it is not really clear how much of an excess
is desirable and still protects from global OOMs as that would have to
consider the overall memcg configuration.
This patch is addressing the problem by removing the heuristic
altogether. Bypass is only allowed for requests which either cannot
fail or where the failure is not desirable while excess should be still
limited (e.g. atomic requests). Implementation wise a killed or dying
task fails to charge if it has passed the OOM killer stage. That should
give all forms of reclaim chance to restore the limit before the failure
(ENOMEM) and tell the caller to back off.
In addition, this patch renames should_force_charge() helper to
task_is_dying() because now its use is not associated witch forced
charging.
This patch depends on pagefault_out_of_memory() to not trigger
out_of_memory(), because then a memcg failure can unwind to VM_FAULT_OOM
and cause a global OOM killer.

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory. This can happen for 2
different reasons. a) Memcg is out of memory and we rely on
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize to perform the memcg OOM handling or b)
normal allocation fails.
The latter is quite problematic because allocation paths already trigger
out_of_memory and the page allocator tries really hard to not fail
allocations. Anyway, if the OOM killer has been already invoked there
is no reason to invoke it again from the #PF path. Especially when the
OOM condition might be gone by that time and we have no way to find out
other than allocate.
Moreover if the allocation failed and the OOM killer hasn't been invoked
then we are unlikely to do the right thing from the #PF context because
we have already lost the allocation context and restictions and
therefore might oom kill a task from a different NUMA domain.
This all suggests that there is no legitimate reason to trigger
out_of_memory from pagefault_out_of_memory so drop it. Just to be sure
that no #PF path returns with VM_FAULT_OOM without allocation print a
warning that this is happening before we restart the #PF.
[VvS: #PF allocation can hit into limit of cgroup v1 kmem controller.
This is a local problem related to memcg, however, it causes unnecessary
global OOM kills that are repeated over and over again and escalate into a
real disaster. This has been broken since kmem accounting has been
introduced for cgroup v1 (3.8). There was no kmem specific reclaim for
the separate limit so the only way to handle kmem hard limit was to return
with ENOMEM. In upstream the problem will be fixed by removing the
outdated kmem limit, however stable and LTS kernels cannot do it and are
still affected. This patch fixes the problem and should be backported
into stable/LTS.]

Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3.
Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard
limit. It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside
a memcg-limited container. On the other hand if memcg fails allocation,
called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside
pagefault_out_of_memory().
To prevent these problems this patchset:
(a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from
pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is
necessary.
(b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks.
This patch (of 3):
Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes
out_out_memory() and can kill a random task.
An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and
there are no memory reserves left. The OOM killer is already handled at
the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level
for the memcg one. Both have much more information about the scope of
allocation/charge request. This means that either the OOM killer has
been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it
has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked. In both cases
triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful.
It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake
up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim
for breakfast.

Since slab objects and kmem pages are charged to object cgroup instead

all its descendants to its parent cgroup. This already makes further

unnecessary to change kmemcg_id of an offline cgroup to its parent's id.

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing.
This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being
made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead
to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.
So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "size + count * size" in the kvmalloc() functions.
Also, take the opportunity to refactor the memcpy() call to use the
flex_array_size() helper.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.

The memcg stats can be flushed in multiple context and potentially in
parallel too. For example multiple parallel user space readers for
memcg stats will contend on the rstat locks with each other. There is
no need for that. We just need one flusher and everyone else can
benefit.
In addition after aa48e47e39 ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg
stats") the kernel periodically flush the memcg stats from the root, so,
the other flushers will potentially have much less work to do.

At the moment, the kernel flushes the memcg stats on every refault and
also on every reclaim iteration. Although rstat maintains per-cpu
update tree but on the flush the kernel still has to go through all the
cpu rstat update tree to check if there is anything to flush. This
patch adds the tracking on the stats update side to make flush side more
clever by skipping the flush if there is no update.
The stats update codepath is very sensitive performance wise for many
workloads and benchmarks. So, we can not follow what the commit
aa48e47e39 ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats") did which
was triggering async flush through queue_work() and caused a lot
performance regression reports. That got reverted by the commit
1f828223b7 ("memcg: flush lruvec stats in the refault").
In this patch we kept the stats update codepath very minimal and let the
stats reader side to flush the stats only when the updates are over a
specific threshold. For now the threshold is (nr_cpus * CHARGE_BATCH).
To evaluate the impact of this patch, an 8 GiB tmpfs file is created on
a system with swap-on-zram and the file was pushed to swap through
memory.force_empty interface. On reading the whole file, the memcg stat
flush in the refault code path is triggered. With this patch, we
observed 63% reduction in the read time of 8 GiB file.

Given that all other codesites that use format strings for the same swap

We always go through i_size_read(), and we rarely end up needing it.
Push the read to down where we need to check it, which avoids it for
most cases.
It looks like we can even remove this check entirely, which might be
worth pursuing. But at least this takes it out of the hot path.

Commit 0ad9500e16 ("slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in
slab_alloc()") introduced prefetch_freepointer() because when other
cpu(s) freed objects into a page that current cpu owns, the freelist
link is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects and possibly very cold on
current cpu.
But if freelist link chain is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects, it's
better to invalidate that chain because they're not going to access
again within a short time.
So use prefetchw instead of prefetch. On supported architectures like
x86 and arm, it invalidates other copied instances of a cache line when
prefetching it.

The defaults are determined based on object size and can go up to 30 for
objects smaller than 256 bytes. Before the previous patch changed the
accounting, this could have made cpu partial list contain up to 30
pages. After that patch, only up to 2 pages with default allocation
order.
Very short lists limit the usefulness of the whole concept of cpu
partial lists, so this patch aims at a more reasonable default under the
new accounting. The defaults are quadrupled, except for object size >=
PAGE_SIZE where it's doubled. This makes the lists grow up to 10 pages
in practice.
A quick test of booting a kernel under virtme with 4GB RAM and 8 vcpus
shows the following slab memory usage after boot:
Before previous patch (using page->pobjects):
Slab: 36732 kB

After previous patch (using page->pages):

After this patch (using page->pages, higher defaults):
Slab: 35252 kB

SUnreclaim: 21308 kB
In the same setup, I also ran 5 times:
hackbench -l 16000 -g 16
Differences in time were in the noise, we can compare slub stats as
given by slabinfo -r skbuff_head_cache (the other cache heavily used by
hackbench, kmalloc-cg-512 looks similar). Negligible stats left out for
brevity.

As expected, memory usage dropped significantly with change of
accounting, increasing the defaults increased it, but not as much. The
number of page allocation/frees dropped significantly with the new
accounting, but didn't increase with the higher defaults.
Interestingly, the number of fasthpath allocations increased, as well as
allocations from the cpu partial list, even though it's shorter.

With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of
partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is
depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be
added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node()
- once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire
multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a
previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial
list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list.
To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache,
set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each
cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file
cpu_partial.
However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order
to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu
partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a
single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current
head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding:
page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise
page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse);
page->next = oldpage;
Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is
only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial
list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor
propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can
easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects
(up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab
pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object
on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are
subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice
and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg
usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB.
While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the
accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's
questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based
control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So
this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only
(which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely.
This is also ultimately simpler.
To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the
target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target
number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average.
This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but
cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target
number of objects.
We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects
and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the
sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break
existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch
doesn't do that.
In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu
partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which
would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise
object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better
compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly
long percpu partial lists.

==========
Evaluation
==========
Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf
(localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below.
So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which
I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on
average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring
slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the
following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial
lists than after this patch.
However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu
partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free
pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30
pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and
if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are
still there to allow that.

After commit f227f0faf6 ("slub: fix unreclaimable slab stat for bulk
free"), the check for free nonslab page is replaced by VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
which only check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, but this config may
impact performance, so it only for debug.
Commit 0937502af7 ("slub: Add check for kfree() of non slab objects.")
add the ability, which should be needed in any configs to catch the
invalid free, they even could be potential issue, eg, memory corruption,
use after free and double free, so replace VM_BUG_ON_PAGE to
WARN_ON_ONCE, add object address printing to help use to debug the
issue.

Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman:
"Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling
code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than
necessary and difficult to follow.
This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up,
making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then
cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the
coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions
with the signal handling code is cleaned up.
The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs.
I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process
the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change
the userspace visible behavior.
In previous discussions some of these changes were organized
differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As
currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups
and bug fixes.
Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change
needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will
still be improved.
If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be
made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for
short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for
generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function
force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the
signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are
eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups
can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become
per signal_struct"
* 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group
coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core
exit: Factor coredump_exit_mm out of exit_mm
exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_state
ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop

Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
inode glock. In the most basic scenario, that buffer will not be
resident and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer
will trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the
same inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.
Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
far, with page faults enabled.

- Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into

- Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple
futexes. The main use case is emulating Windows' WaitForMultipleObjects
which allows Wine to improve the performance of Windows Games. Also
native Linux games can benefit from this interface as this is a common
wait pattern for this kind of applications.
- Add context to ww_mutex_trylock() to provide a path for i915 to rework
their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset until the
final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for regulator and
TTM to avoid dropping locks in the non contended path.
- Lockdep and might_sleep() cleanups and improvements
- A few improvements for the RT substitutions.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups.

Merge tag 'folio-5.16' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache
Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
"Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
precise page containing a particular byte.
The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE.
I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:

Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil
Babka, William Kucharski, Yu Zhao and Zi Yan.

Kunit test cases for 'damon_split_regions_of()' expects the number of
regions after calling the function will be same to their request
('nr_sub'). However, the requested number is just an upper-limit,
because the function randomly decides the size of each sub-region.
This fixes the wrong expectation.

Currently collapse_file does not explicitly check PG_writeback, instead,
page_has_private and try_to_release_page are used to filter writeback
pages. This does not work for xfs with blocksize equal to or larger
than pagesize, because in such case xfs has no page->private.
This makes collapse_file bail out early for writeback page. Otherwise,
xfs end_page_writeback will panic as follows.

Eric Dumazet reported a strange numa spreading info in [1], and found
commit 121e6f3258 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") introduced
this issue [2].
Dig into the difference before and after this patch, page allocation has
some difference:
before:
alloc_large_system_hash
__vmalloc
__vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
__vmalloc_node_range
__vmalloc_area_node
alloc_page /* because NUMA_NO_NODE, so choose alloc_page branch */
alloc_pages_current
alloc_page_interleave /* can be proved by print policy mode */
after:
alloc_large_system_hash
__vmalloc
__vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
__vmalloc_node_range
__vmalloc_area_node
alloc_pages_node /* choose nid by nuam_mem_id() */
__alloc_pages_node(nid, ....)
So after commit 121e6f3258 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"),
it will allocate memory in current node instead of interleaving allocate
memory.

Quoting Dmitry:
"refcount_inc() needs to be done before fd_install(). After
fd_install() finishes, the fd can be used by userspace and
we can have secret data in memory before the refcount_inc().
A straightforward misuse where a user will predict the returned
fd in another thread before the syscall returns and will use it
to store secret data is somewhat dubious because such a user just
shoots themself in the foot.
But a more interesting misuse would be to close the predicted fd
and decrement the refcount before the corresponding refcount_inc,
this way one can briefly drop the refcount to zero while there are
other users of secretmem."
Move fd_install() after refcount_inc().

Race between process_mrelease and exit_mmap, where free_pgtables is
called while __oom_reap_task_mm is in progress, leads to kernel crash
during pte_offset_map_lock call. oom-reaper avoids this race by setting
MMF_OOM_VICTIM flag and causing exit_mmap to take and release
mmap_write_lock, blocking it until oom-reaper releases mmap_read_lock.
Reusing MMF_OOM_VICTIM for process_mrelease would be the simplest way to
fix this race, however that would be considered a hack. Fix this race
by elevating mm->mm_users and preventing exit_mmap from executing until
process_mrelease is finished. Patch slightly refactors the code to
adapt for a possible mmget_not_zero failure.
This fix has considerable negative impact on process_mrelease
performance and will likely need later optimization.

When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be
PMD mapped if certain conditions are satisfied. But kernel is supposed
to send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.
There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular
fault.
Before commit f9ce0be71d ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path. The THP
could be PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is
accessed and corrupted. After this commit as long as head page is not
corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped.
In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the
corrupted page is not accessed and the VMA fits.
This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any
of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault
path.
So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail
page. It indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s). It is set if any
subpage of THP is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the
refcount is bumped successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or
split.
The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just
marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully.
But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.

When handling THP hwpoison checked if the THP is in allocation or free
stage since hwpoison may mistreat it as hugetlb page. After commit
415c64c145 ("mm/memory-failure: split thp earlier in memory error
handling") the problem has been fixed, so this check is no longer
needed. Remove it. The side effect of the removal is hwpoison may
report unsplit THP instead of unknown error for shmem THP. It seems not
like a big deal.
The following patch "mm: filemap: check if THP has hwpoisoned subpage
for PMD page fault" depends on this, which fixes shmem THP with
hwpoisoned subpage(s) are mapped PMD wrongly. So this patch needs to be
backported to -stable as well.

Commit 110860541f ("mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t")
attempted to fix the problem of secretmem_users wrapping to zero and
allowing suspend once again.
But it was reverted in commit 87066fdd2e ("Revert 'mm/secretmem: use
refcount_t instead of atomic_t'") because of the problems it caused - a
refcount_t was not semantically the right type to use.
Instead prevent secretmem_users from wrapping to zero by forbidding new
users if the number of users has wrapped from positive to negative.
This stops a long way short of reaching the necessary 4 billion users
where it wraps to zero again, so there's no need to be clever with
special anti-wrap types or checking the return value from atomic_inc().

This reverts commit 110860541f.
Converting the "secretmem_users" counter to a refcount is incorrect,
because a refcount is special in zero and can't just be incremented (but
a count of users is not, and "no users" is actually perfectly valid and
not a sign of a free'd resource).

Commit a7259df767 ("memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method

with nomaped regions:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fff000021e00000

scan_block+0x64/0x170
scan_gray_list+0xe8/0x17c
kmemleak_scan+0x270/0x514
kmemleak_write+0x34c/0x4ac
The memory allocated from memblock is registered with kmemleak, but if
it is marked MEMBLOCK_NOMAP it won't have linear map entries so an
attempt to scan such areas will fault.
Ideally, memblock_mark_nomap() would inform kmemleak to ignore
MEMBLOCK_NOMAP memory, but it can be called before kmemleak interfaces
operating on physical addresses can use __va() conversion.
Make sure that functions that mark allocated memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP
take care of informing kmemleak to ignore such memory.

THPs, then force a THP split with /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages.
During any further open of that binary with O_RDWR or O_WRITEONLY kernel
drops page cache for it, because of non-zero thps counter.

Patch series "Fixups for slub".
This series contains various bug fixes for slub. We fix memoryleak,
use-afer-free, NULL pointer dereferencing and so on in slub. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
This patch (of 5):
It's possible that __seq_open_private() will return NULL. So we should
check it before using lest dereferencing NULL pointer. And in error
paths, we forgot to release private buffer via seq_release_private().
Memory will leak in these paths.

The node demotion order needs to be updated during CPU hotplug. Because
whether a NUMA node has CPU may influence the demotion order. The
update function should be called during CPU online/offline after the
node_states[N_CPU] has been updated. That is done in
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN during CPU online and in CPUHP_MM_VMSTAT_DEAD during
CPU offline. But in commit 884a6e5d1f ("mm/migrate: update node
demotion order on hotplug events"), the function to update node demotion
order is called in CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN during CPU online/offline. This
doesn't satisfy the order requirement.
For example, there are 4 CPUs (P0, P1, P2, P3) in 2 sockets (P0, P1 in S0
and P2, P3 in S1), the demotion order is
- S0 -> NUMA_NO_NODE
- S1 -> NUMA_NO_NODE
After P2 and P3 is offlined, because S1 has no CPU now, the demotion
order should have been changed to
- S0 -> S1
- S1 -> NO_NODE
but it isn't changed, because the order updating callback for CPU
hotplug doesn't see the new nodemask. After that, if P1 is offlined,
the demotion order is changed to the expected order as above.
So in this patch, we added CPUHP_AP_MM_DEMOTION_ONLINE and
CPUHP_MM_DEMOTION_DEAD to be called after CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN and
CPUHP_MM_VMSTAT_DEAD during CPU online and offline, and register the
update function on them.

Once upon a time, the node demotion updates were driven solely by memory
hotplug events. But now, there are handlers for both CPU and memory
hotplug.
However, the #ifdef around the code checks only memory hotplug. A
system that has HOTPLUG_CPU=y but MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n would miss CPU
hotplug events.
Update the #ifdef around the common code. Add memory and CPU-specific
#ifdefs for their handlers. These memory/CPU #ifdefs avoid unused
function warnings when their Kconfig option is off.

Patch series "mm/migrate: 5.15 fixes for automatic demotion", v2.
This contains two fixes for the "automatic demotion" code which was
merged into 5.15:
* Fix memory hotplug performance regression by watching
suppressing any real action on irrelevant hotplug events.
* Ensure CPU hotplug handler is registered when memory hotplug
is disabled.
This patch (of 2):
== tl;dr ==
Automatic demotion opted for a simple, lazy approach to handling hotplug
events. This noticeably slows down memory hotplug[1]. Optimize away
updates to the demotion order when memory hotplug events should have no
effect.
This has no effect on CPU hotplug. There is no known problem on the CPU
side and any work there will be in a separate series.
== Background ==
Automatic demotion is a memory migration strategy to ensure that new
allocations have room in faster memory tiers on tiered memory systems.
The kernel maintains an array (node_demotion[]) to drive these
migrations.
The node_demotion[] path is calculated by starting at nodes with CPUs
and then "walking" to nodes with memory. Only hotplug events which
online or offline a node with memory (N_ONLINE) or CPUs (N_CPU) will
actually affect the migration order.
== Problem ==
However, the current code is lazy. It completely regenerates the
migration order on *any* CPU or memory hotplug event. The logic was
that these events are extremely rare and that the overhead from
indiscriminate order regeneration is minimal.
Part of the update logic involves a synchronize_rcu(), which is a pretty
big hammer. Its overhead was large enough to be detected by some 0day
tests that watch memory hotplug performance[1].
== Solution ==
Add a new helper (node_demotion_topo_changed()) which can differentiate
between superfluous and impactful hotplug events. Skip the expensive
update operation for superfluous events.
== Aside: Locking ==
It took me a few moments to declare the locking to be safe enough for
node_demotion_topo_changed() to work. It all hinges on the memory
hotplug lock:
During memory hotplug events, 'mem_hotplug_lock' is held for write.
This ensures that two memory hotplug events can not be called
simultaneously.
CPU hotplug has a similar lock (cpuhp_state_mutex) which also provides
mutual exclusion between CPU hotplug events. In addition, the demotion
code acquire and hold the mem_hotplug_lock for read during its CPU
hotplug handlers. This provides mutual exclusion between the demotion
memory hotplug callbacks and the CPU hotplug callbacks.
This effectively allows treating the migration target generation code to
act as if it is single-threaded.

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.
Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:
- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.
