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.

allocation backing vmalloc. However bulk page allocator does not
support __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations and there are several users of
kvmalloc(__GFP_ACCOUNT).
For now make __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations bypass bulk page allocator. In
future if there is workload that can be significantly improved with the
bulk page allocator with __GFP_ACCCOUNT support, we can revisit the
decision.

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.

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.

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

When batching events (such as writing back N pages in a single I/O), it
is better to do one flex_proportion operation instead of N. There is
only one caller of __fprop_inc_percpu_max(), and it's the one we're
going to change in the next patch, so rename it instead of adding a

Today when a signal is delivered with a handler of SIG_DFL whose
default behavior is to generate a core dump not only that process but
every process that shares the mm is killed.
In the case of vfork this looks like a real world problem. Consider
the following well defined sequence.
if (vfork() == 0) {
execve(...);
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
If a signal that generates a core dump is received after vfork but
before the execve changes the mm the process that called vfork will
also be killed (as the mm is shared).
Similarly if the execve fails after the point of no return the kernel
delivers SIGSEGV which will kill both the exec'ing process and because
the mm is shared the process that called vfork as well.
As far as I can tell this behavior is a violation of people's
reasonable expectations, POSIX, and is unnecessarily fragile when the
system is low on memory.
Solve this by making a userspace visible change to only kill a single
process/thread group. This is possible because Jann Horn recently
modified[1] the coredump code so that the mm can safely be modified
while the coredump is happening. With LinuxThreads long gone I don't
expect anyone to have a notice this behavior change in practice.
To accomplish this move the core_state pointer from mm_struct to
signal_struct, which allows different thread groups to coredump
simultatenously.
In zap_threads remove the work to kill anything except for the current
thread group.
v2: Remove core_state from the VM_BUG_ON_MM print to fix
compile failure when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.

identified with the asymmetric tagging mode of execution. In particular,
when such a mode is present, the CPU triggers a fault on a tag mismatch
during a load operation and asynchronously updates a register when a tag
mismatch is detected during a store operation.
Extend the KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter to

Rename coredump_exit_mm to coredump_task_exit and call it from do_exit
before PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, and before any cleanup work for a task
happens. This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be
captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before
the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT
will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete.
Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through
coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process.
Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to
test for a coredump in progress from mm_release.
Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace".
The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping
during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now
guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters
ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed
not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true.
Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call
ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are
dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer
an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached
until after the coredump completes.

folio_end_writeback() is less than half the size of end_page_writeback()
at just 105 bytes compared to 228 bytes, due to removing all the
compound_head() calls. The 30 byte wrapper function makes this a net
saving of 93 bytes.

saving 75 bytes at the cost of adding 15 bytes to its one caller,

These are the folio equivalent of page_mapping() and page_file_mapping().
Add an out-of-line page_mapping() wrapper around folio_mapping()
in order to prevent the page_folio() call from bloating every caller
of page_mapping(). Adjust page_file_mapping() and page_mapping_file()
to use folios internally. Rename __page_file_mapping() to
swapcache_mapping() and change it to take a folio.
This ends up saving 122 bytes of text overall. folio_mapping() is
45 bytes shorter than page_mapping() was, but the new page_mapping()
wrapper is 30 bytes. The major reduction is a few bytes less in dozens
of nfs functions (which call page_file_mapping()). Most of these appear
to be a slight change in gcc's register allocation decisions, which allow:
48 8b 56 08 mov 0x8(%rsi),%rdx
48 8d 42 ff lea -0x1(%rdx),%rax
83 e2 01 and $0x1,%edx
48 0f 44 c6 cmove %rsi,%rax
to become:
48 8b 46 08 mov 0x8(%rsi),%rax
48 8d 78 ff lea -0x1(%rax),%rdi
a8 01 test $0x1,%al
48 0f 44 fe cmove %rsi,%rdi
for a reduction of a single byte. Once the NFS client is converted to
use folios, this entire sequence will disappear.
Also add folio_mapping() documentation.

Since lru_add_drain is called frequently, invalidate bh_lrus there could
increase bh_lrus cache miss ratio, which needs more IO in the end.
This patch moves the bh_lrus invalidation from the hot path( e.g.,
zap_page_range, pagevec_release) to cold path(i.e., lru_add_drain_all,
lru_cache_disable).

In the case of SHMEM_HUGE_WITHIN_SIZE, the page index is not rounded up
correctly. When the page index points to the first page in a huge page,
round_up() cannot bring it to the end of the huge page, but to the end
of the previous one.
An example:
HPAGE_PMD_NR on my machine is 512(2 MB huge page size). After
allcoating a 3000 KB buffer, I access it at location 2050 KB. In
shmem_is_huge(), the corresponding index happens to be 512. After
rounded up by HPAGE_PMD_NR, it will still be 512 which is smaller than
i_size, and shmem_is_huge() will return true. As a result, my buffer
takes an additional huge page, and that shouldn't happen when
shmem_enabled is set to within_size.

Commit fcc00621d8 ("mm/hwpoison: retry with shake_page() for

retry for transiently unhandlable cases. However, __get_hwpoison_page()
currently fails to properly judge buddy pages as handlable, so hard/soft
offline for buddy pages always fail as "unhandlable page". This is
totally regrettable.
So let's add is_free_buddy_page() in HWPoisonHandlable(), so that
__get_hwpoison_page() returns different return values between buddy
pages and unhandlable pages as intended.

Prior to the commit 7e1c0d6f58 ("memcg: switch lruvec stats to rstat")
and the commit aa48e47e39 ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg
stats"), each lruvec memcg stats can be off by (nr_cgroups * nr_cpus *
32) at worst and for unbounded amount of time. The commit aa48e47e39
moved the lruvec stats to rstat infrastructure and the commit
7e1c0d6f58 bounded the error for all the lruvec stats to (nr_cpus *
32) at worst for at most 2 seconds. More specifically it decoupled the
number of stats and the number of cgroups from the error rate.
However this reduction in error comes with the cost of triggering the
slowpath of stats update more frequently. Previously in the slowpath
the kernel adds the stats up the memcg tree. After aa48e47e39, the
kernel triggers the asyn lruvec stats flush through queue_work(). This
causes regression reports from 0day kernel bot [1] as well as from
phoronix test suite [2].
We tried two options to fix the regression:
1) Increase the threshold to trigger the slowpath in lruvec stats
update codepath from 32 to 512.
2) Remove the slowpath from lruvec stats update codepath and instead
flush the stats in the page refault codepath. The assumption is that
the kernel timely flush the stats, so, the update tree would be
small in the refault codepath to not cause the preformance impact.
Following are the results of will-it-scale/page_fault[1|2|3] benchmark
on four settings i.e. (1) 5.15-rc1 as baseline (2) 5.15-rc1 with
aa48e47e39 and 7e1c0d6f58 reverted (3) 5.15-rc1 with option-1
(4) 5.15-rc1 with option-2.
test (1) (2) (3) (4)
pg_f1 368563 406277 (10.23%) 399693 (8.44%) 416398 (12.97%)
pg_f2 338399 372133 (9.96%) 369180 (9.09%) 381024 (12.59%)
pg_f3 500853 575399 (14.88%) 570388 (13.88%) 576083 (15.02%)
From the above result, it seems like the option-2 not only solves the
regression but also improves the performance for at least these
benchmarks.
Feng Tang (intel) ran the aim7 benchmark with these two options and
confirms that option-1 reduces the regression but option-2 removes the
regression.
Michael Larabel (phoronix) ran multiple benchmarks with these options
and reported the results at [3] and it shows for most benchmarks
option-2 removes the regression introduced by the commit aa48e47e39
("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats").
Based on the experiment results, this patch proposed the option-2 as the
solution to resolve the regression.

Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
"Fixes for AFS problems that can cause data corruption due to
interaction with another client modifying data cached locally:
- When d_revalidating a dentry, don't look at the inode to which it
points. Only check the directory to which the dentry belongs. This
was confusing things and causing the silly-rename cleanup code to
remove the file now at the dentry of a file that got deleted.
- Fix mmap data coherency. When a callback break is received that
relates to a file that we have cached, the data content may have
been changed (there are other reasons, such as the user's rights
having been changed). However, we're checking it lazily, only on
entry to the kernel, which doesn't happen if we have a writeable
shared mapped page on that file.
We make the kernel keep track of mmapped files and clear all PTEs
mapping to that file as soon as the callback comes in by calling
unmap_mapping_pages() (we don't necessarily want to zap the
pagecache). This causes the kernel to be reentered when userspace
tries to access the mmapped address range again - and at that point
we can query the server and, if we need to, zap the page cache.
Ideally, I would check each file at the point of notification, but
that involves poking the server[*] - which is holding an exclusive
lock on the vnode it is changing, waiting for all the clients it
notified to reply. This could then deadlock against the server.
Further, invalidating the pagecache might call ->launder_page(),
which would try to write to the file, which would definitely
deadlock. (AFS doesn't lease file access).
[*] Checking to see if the file content has changed is a matter of
comparing the current data version number, but we have to ask
the server for that. We also need to get a new callback promise
and we need to poke the server for that too.
- Add some more points at which the inode is validated, since we're
doing it lazily, notably in ->read_iter() and ->page_mkwrite(), but
also when performing some directory operations.
Ideally, checking in ->read_iter() would be done in some derivation
of filemap_read(). If we're going to call the server to read the
file, then we get the file status fetch as part of that.
- The above is now causing us to make a lot more calls to
afs_validate() to check the inode - and afs_validate() takes the
RCU read lock each time to make a quick check (ie.
afs_check_validity()). This is entirely for the purpose of checking
cb_s_break to see if the server we're using reinitialised its list
of callbacks - however this isn't a very common event, so most of
the time we're taking this needlessly.
Add a new cell-wide counter to count the number of
reinitialisations done by any server and check that - and only if
that changes, take the RCU read lock and check the server list (the
server list may change, but the cell a file is part of won't).
- Don't update vnode->cb_s_break and ->cb_v_break inside the validity
checking loop. The cb_lock is done with read_seqretry, so we might
go round the loop a second time after resetting those values - and
that could cause someone else checking validity to miss something
(I think).
Also included are patches for fixes for some bugs encountered whilst
debugging this:
- Fix a leak of afs_read objects and fix a leak of keys hidden by
that.
- Fix a leak of pages that couldn't be added to extend a writeback.
- Fix the maintenance of i_blocks when i_size is changed by a local
write or a local dir edit"

The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.
Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/
or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/
I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.
I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.
So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer. And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc
version to 5.1.
This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want
to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before.
Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I
had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a
fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch
series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem.
The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but
honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on.
We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about
compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a
good thing.
I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that
we no longer support gcc-4.x.
As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade
we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and
finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does
_not_ yet do that.

Fix the coherency management of mmap'd data such that 3rd-party changes
become visible as soon as possible after the callback notification is
delivered by the fileserver. This is done by the following means:
(1) When we break a callback on a vnode specified by the CB.CallBack call
from the server, we queue a work item (vnode->cb_work) to go and
clobber all the PTEs mapping to that inode.
This causes the CPU to trip through the ->map_pages() and
->page_mkwrite() handlers if userspace attempts to access the page(s)
again.
(Ideally, this would be done in the service handler for CB.CallBack,
but the server is waiting for our reply before considering, and we
have a list of vnodes, all of which need breaking - and the process of
getting the mmap_lock and stripping the PTEs on all CPUs could be
quite slow.)
(2) Call afs_validate() from the ->map_pages() handler to check to see if
the file has changed and to get a new callback promise from the
server.
Also handle the fileserver telling us that it's dropping all callbacks,
possibly after it's been restarted by sending us a CB.InitCallBackState*
call by the following means:
(3) Maintain a per-cell list of afs files that are currently mmap'd
(cell->fs_open_mmaps).
(4) Add a work item to each server that is invoked if there are any open
mmaps when CB.InitCallBackState happens. This work item goes through
the aforementioned list and invokes the vnode->cb_work work item for
each one that is currently using this server.
This causes the PTEs to be cleared, causing ->map_pages() or
->page_mkwrite() to be called again, thereby calling afs_validate()
again.
I've chosen to simply strip the PTEs at the point of notification reception
rather than invalidate all the pages as well because (a) it's faster, (b)
we may get a notification for other reasons than the data being altered (in
which case we don't want to clobber the pagecache) and (c) we need to ask
the server to find out - and I don't want to wait for the reply before
holding up userspace.
This was tested using the attached test program:
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
size_t size = getpagesize();
unsigned char *p;
bool mod = (argc == 3);
int fd;
if (argc != 2 && argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "Format: %s <file> [mod]\n", argv[0]);
exit(2);
}
fd = open(argv[1], mod ? O_RDWR : O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror(argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
p = mmap(NULL, size, mod ? PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE : PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
if (mod) {
p[0]++;
msync(p, size, MS_ASYNC);
fsync(fd);
}
printf("%02x", p[0]);
fflush(stdout);
sleep(1);
}
}
It runs in two modes: in one mode, it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop
reading the first byte, printing it and sleeping for a second; in the
second mode it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop incrementing the first
byte and flushing, then printing and sleeping.
Two instances of this program can be run on different machines, one doing
the reading and one doing the writing. The reader should see the changes
made by the writer, but without this patch, they aren't because validity
checking is being done lazily - only on entry to the filesystem.
Testing the InitCallBackState change is more complicated. The server has
to be taken offline, the saved callback state file removed and then the
server restarted whilst the reading-mode program continues to run. The
client machine then has to poke the server to trigger the InitCallBackState
call.

The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third
parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid). So access to
zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic.
In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol->v.nodes, after
this other threads may chang pol->v.nodes before next_node(). This race
condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES. So put pol->nodes in
a local variable.
The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask:

In a memory pressure situation, I'm seeing the lockdep WARNING below.
Actually, this is similar to a known false positive which is already
addressed by commit 6dcde60efd ("xfs: more lockdep whackamole with
kmem_alloc*").
This warning still persists because it's not from kmalloc() itself but
from an allocation for kmemleak object. While kmalloc() itself suppress
the warning with __GFP_NOLOCKDEP, gfp_kmemleak_mask() is dropping the
flag for the kmemleak's allocation.
Allow __GFP_NOLOCKDEP to be passed to kmemleak's allocation, so that the
warning for it is also suppressed.

Commit f56ce412a5 ("mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to
proportional memory.low reclaim") introduced a divide by zero corner
case when oomd is being used in combination with cgroup memory.low
protection.
When oomd decides to kill a cgroup, it will force the cgroup memory to
be reclaimed after killing the tasks, by writing to the memory.max file
for that cgroup, forcing the remaining page cache and reclaimable slab
to be reclaimed down to zero.
Previously, on cgroups with some memory.low protection that would result
in the memory being reclaimed down to the memory.low limit, or likely
not at all, having the page cache reclaimed asynchronously later.
With f56ce412a5 the oomd write to memory.max tries to reclaim all the
way down to zero, which may race with another reclaimer, to the point of
ending up with the divide by zero below.
This patch implements the obvious fix.

The compat implementations for mbind, get_mempolicy, set_mempolicy and
migrate_pages are just there to handle the subtly different layout of
bitmaps on 32-bit hosts.
The compat implementation however lacks some of the checks that are
present in the native one, in particular for checking that the extra bits
are all zero when user space has a larger mask size than the kernel.
Worse, those extra bits do not get cleared when copying in or out of the
kernel, which can lead to incorrect data as well.
Unify the implementation to handle the compat bitmap layout directly in
the get_nodes() and copy_nodes_to_user() helpers. Splitting out the
get_bitmap() helper from get_nodes() also helps readability of the native
case.
On x86, two additional problems are addressed by this: compat tasks can
pass a bitmap at the end of a mapping, causing a fault when reading across
the page boundary for a 64-bit word. x32 tasks might also run into
problems with get_mempolicy corrupting data when an odd number of 32-bit
words gets passed.
On parisc the migrate_pages() system call apparently had the wrong calling
convention, as big-endian architectures expect the words inside of a
bitmap to be swapped. This is not a problem though since parisc has no
NUMA support.

The compat move_pages() implementation uses compat_alloc_user_space() for
converting the pointer array. Moving the compat handling into the
function itself is a bit simpler and lets us avoid the
compat_alloc_user_space() call.

Disable preemption on -RT for the vmstat code. On vanila the code runs in
IRQ-off regions while on -RT it may not when stats are updated under a
local_lock. "preempt_disable" ensures that the same resources is not
updated in parallel due to preemption.
This patch differs from the preempt-rt version where __count_vm_event and
__count_vm_events are also protected. The counters are explicitly
"allowed to be to be racy" so there is no need to protect them from
preemption. Only the accurate page stats that are updated by a
read-modify-write need protection. This patch also differs in that a
preempt_[en|dis]able_rt helper is not used. As vmstat is the only user of
the helper, it was suggested that it be open-coded in vmstat.c instead of
risking the helper being used in unnecessary contexts.

This series was initially inspired by Mel's pcplist local_lock rewrite, and
also interest to better understand SLUB's locking and the new primitives and RT
variants and implications. It makes SLUB compatible with PREEMPT_RT and
generally more preemption-friendly, apparently without significant regressions,
as the fast paths are not affected.
The main changes to SLUB by this series:
* irq disabling is now only done for minimum amount of time needed to protect
the strict kmem_cache_cpu fields, and as part of spin lock, local lock and
bit lock operations to make them irq-safe
* SLUB is fully PREEMPT_RT compatible
Series is based on 5.14-rc6 and also available as a git branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/linux.git/log/?h=slub-local-lock-v5r0
The series should now be sufficiently tested in both RT and !RT configs, mainly
thanks to Mike.
The RFC/v1 version also got basic performance screening by Mel that didn't show
major regressions. Mike's testing with hackbench of v2 on !RT reported
negligible differences [6]:

RT configs showed some throughput regressions, but that's expected tradeoff for
the preemption improvements through the RT mutex. It didn't prevent the v2 to
be incorporated to the 5.13 RT tree [7], leading to testing exposure and
bugfixes.
Before the series, SLUB is lockless in both allocation and free fast paths, but
elsewhere, it's disabling irqs for considerable periods of time - especially in
allocation slowpath and the bulk allocation, where IRQs are re-enabled only
when a new page from the page allocator is needed, and the context allows
blocking. The irq disabled sections can then include deactivate_slab() which
walks a full freelist and frees the slab back to page allocator or
unfreeze_partials() going through a list of percpu partial slabs. The RT tree
currently has some patches mitigating these, but we can do much better in
mainline too.
Patches 1-6 are straightforward improvements or cleanups that could exist
outside of this series too, but are prerequsities.
Patches 7-9 are also preparatory code changes without functional changes, but
not so useful without the rest of the series.
Patch 10 simplifies the fast paths on systems with preemption, based on
(hopefully correct) observation that the current loops to verify tid are
unnecessary.
Patches 11-20 focus on reducing irq disabled scope in the allocation slowpath.
Patch 11 moves disabling of irqs into ___slab_alloc() from its callers, which
are the allocation slowpath, and bulk allocation. Instead these callers only
disable preemption to stabilize the cpu. The following patches then gradually
reduce the scope of disabled irqs in ___slab_alloc() and the functions called
from there. As of patch 14, the re-enabling of irqs based on gfp flags before
calling the page allocator is removed from allocate_slab(). As of patch 17,
it's possible to reach the page allocator (in case of existing slabs depleted)
without disabling and re-enabling irqs a single time.
Pathces 21-26 reduce the scope of disabled irqs in functions related to
unfreezing percpu partial slab.
Patch 27 is preparatory. Patch 28 is adopted from the RT tree and converts the
flushing of percpu slabs on all cpus from using IPI to workqueue, so that the
processing isn't happening with irqs disabled in the IPI handler. The flushing
is not performance critical so it should be acceptable.
Patch 29 also comes from RT tree and makes object_map_lock RT compatible.
Patch 30 make slab_lock irq-safe on RT where we cannot rely on having
irq disabled from the list_lock spin lock usage.
Patch 31 changes kmem_cache_cpu->partial handling in put_cpu_partial() from
cmpxchg loop to a short irq disabled section, which is used by all other code
modifying the field. This addresses a theoretical race scenario pointed out by
Jann, and makes the critical section safe wrt with RT local_lock semantics
after the conversion in patch 35.
Patch 32 changes preempt disable to migrate disable, so that the nested
list_lock spinlock is safe to take on RT. Because migrate_disable() is a
function call even on !RT, a small set of private wrappers is introduced
to keep using the cheaper preempt_disable() on !PREEMPT_RT configurations.
As of this patch, SLUB should be already compatible with RT's lock semantics.
Finally, patch 33 changes irq disabled sections that protect kmem_cache_cpu
fields in the slow paths, with a local lock. However on PREEMPT_RT it means the
lockless fast paths can now preempt slow paths which don't expect that, so the
local lock has to be taken also in the fast paths and they are no longer
lockless. RT folks seem to not mind this tradeoff. The patch also updates the
locking documentation in the file's comment.

In some use cases, users would want to run multiple monitoring context.
For example, if a user wants a high precision monitoring and dedicating
multiple CPUs for the job is ok, because DAMON creates one monitoring
thread per one context, the user can split the monitoring target regions
into multiple small regions and create one context for each region. Or,
someone might want to simultaneously monitor different address spaces,
e.g., both virtual address space and physical address space.
The DAMON's API allows such usage, but 'damon-dbgfs' does not. Therefore,
only kernel space DAMON users can do multiple contexts monitoring.
This commit allows the user space DAMON users to use multiple contexts
monitoring by introducing two new 'damon-dbgfs' debugfs files,
'mk_context' and 'rm_context'. Users can create a new monitoring context
by writing the desired name of the new context to 'mk_context'. Then, a
new directory with the name and having the files for setting of the
context ('attrs', 'target_ids' and 'record') will be created under the
debugfs directory. Writing the name of the context to remove to
'rm_context' will remove the related context and directory.

For CPU usage accounting, knowing pid of the monitoring thread could be

DAMON is designed to be used by kernel space code such as the memory
management subsystems, and therefore it provides only kernel space API.
That said, letting the user space control DAMON could provide some
benefits to them. For example, it will allow user space to analyze their
specific workloads and make their own special optimizations.
For such cases, this commit implements a simple DAMON application kernel
module, namely 'damon-dbgfs', which merely wraps the DAMON api and exports
those to the user space via the debugfs.
'damon-dbgfs' exports three files, ``attrs``, ``target_ids``, and
``monitor_on`` under its debugfs directory, ``<debugfs>/damon/``.
Attributes
----------
Users can read and write the ``sampling interval``, ``aggregation
interval``, ``regions update interval``, and min/max number of monitoring
target regions by reading from and writing to the ``attrs`` file. For
example, below commands set those values to 5 ms, 100 ms, 1,000 ms, 10,
1000 and check it again::
# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo 5000 100000 1000000 10 1000 > attrs
# cat attrs
5000 100000 1000000 10 1000
Target IDs
----------
Some types of address spaces supports multiple monitoring target. For
example, the virtual memory address spaces monitoring can have multiple
processes as the monitoring targets. Users can set the targets by writing
relevant id values of the targets to, and get the ids of the current
targets by reading from the ``target_ids`` file. In case of the virtual
address spaces monitoring, the values should be pids of the monitoring
target processes. For example, below commands set processes having pids
42 and 4242 as the monitoring targets and check it again::
# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo 42 4242 > target_ids
# cat target_ids
42 4242
Note that setting the target ids doesn't start the monitoring.
Turning On/Off
--------------
Setting the files as described above doesn't incur effect unless you
explicitly start the monitoring. You can start, stop, and check the
current status of the monitoring by writing to and reading from the
``monitor_on`` file. Writing ``on`` to the file starts the monitoring of
the targets with the attributes. Writing ``off`` to the file stops those.
DAMON also stops if every targets are invalidated (in case of the virtual
memory monitoring, target processes are invalidated when terminated).
Below example commands turn on, off, and check the status of DAMON::
# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo on > monitor_on
# echo off > monitor_on
# cat monitor_on
off
Please note that you cannot write to the above-mentioned debugfs files
while the monitoring is turned on. If you write to the files while DAMON
is running, an error code such as ``-EBUSY`` will be returned.

This commit introduces a reference implementation of the address space
specific low level primitives for the virtual address space, so that users
of DAMON can easily monitor the data accesses on virtual address spaces of
specific processes by simply configuring the implementation to be used by
DAMON.
The low level primitives for the fundamental access monitoring are defined
in two parts:
1. Identification of the monitoring target address range for the address
space.
2. Access check of specific address range in the target space.
The reference implementation for the virtual address space does the works
as below.
PTE Accessed-bit Based Access Check
-----------------------------------
The implementation uses PTE Accessed-bit for basic access checks. That
is, it clears the bit for the next sampling target page and checks whether
it is set again after one sampling period. This could disturb the reclaim
logic. DAMON uses ``PG_idle`` and ``PG_young`` page flags to solve the
conflict, as Idle page tracking does.
VMA-based Target Address Range Construction
-------------------------------------------
Only small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of the processes
are mapped to physical memory and accessed. Thus, tracking the unmapped
address regions is just wasteful. However, because DAMON can deal with
some level of noise using the adaptive regions adjustment mechanism,
tracking every mapping is not strictly required but could even incur a
high overhead in some cases. That said, too huge unmapped areas inside
the monitoring target should be removed to not take the time for the
adaptive mechanism.
For the reason, this implementation converts the complex mappings to three
distinct regions that cover every mapped area of the address space. Also,
the two gaps between the three regions are the two biggest unmapped areas
in the given address space. The two biggest unmapped areas would be the
gap between the heap and the uppermost mmap()-ed region, and the gap
between the lowermost mmap()-ed region and the stack in most of the cases.
Because these gaps are exceptionally huge in usual address spaces,
excluding these will be sufficient to make a reasonable trade-off. Below
shows this in detail::
<heap>
<BIG UNMAPPED REGION 1>
<uppermost mmap()-ed region>
(small mmap()-ed regions and munmap()-ed regions)
<lowermost mmap()-ed region>
<BIG UNMAPPED REGION 2>
<stack>

PG_idle and PG_young allow the two PTE Accessed bit users, Idle Page
Tracking and the reclaim logic concurrently work while not interfering
with each other. That is, when they need to clear the Accessed bit, they
set PG_young to represent the previous state of the bit, respectively.
And when they need to read the bit, if the bit is cleared, they further
read the PG_young to know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile
or not.
For yet another user of the PTE Accessed bit, we could add another page
flag, or extend the mechanism to use the flags. For the DAMON usecase,
however, we don't need to do that just yet. IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and DAMON
are mutually exclusive, so there's only ever going to be one user of the
current set of flags.
In this commit, we split out the CONFIG options to allow for the use of
PG_young and PG_idle outside of idle page tracking.
In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual memory
address space monitoring primitives will use it.

Even somehow the initial monitoring target regions are well constructed to
fulfill the assumption (pages in same region have similar access
frequencies), the data access pattern can be dynamically changed. This
will result in low monitoring quality. To keep the assumption as much as
possible, DAMON adaptively merges and splits each region based on their
access frequency.
For each ``aggregation interval``, it compares the access frequencies of
adjacent regions and merges those if the frequency difference is small.
Then, after it reports and clears the aggregated access frequency of each
region, it splits each region into two or three regions if the total
number of regions will not exceed the user-specified maximum number of
regions after the split.
In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead
while keeping the upper-bound overhead that users set.

To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups adjacent
pages that are assumed to have the same access frequencies into a
region. As long as the assumption (pages in a region have the same
access frequencies) is kept, only one page in the region is required to
be checked. Thus, for each ``sampling interval``,
1. the 'prepare_access_checks' primitive picks one page in each region,
2. waits for one ``sampling interval``,
3. checks whether the page is accessed meanwhile, and
4. increases the access count of the region if so.
Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable by adjusting the
number of regions. DAMON allows both the underlying primitives and user
callbacks to adjust regions for the trade-off. In other words, this
commit makes DAMON to use not only time-based sampling but also
space-based sampling.
This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
assumption is not guaranteed. Next commit will address this problem.

Patch series "Introduce Data Access MONitor (DAMON)", v34.
Introduction
============
DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The
core mechanisms of DAMON called 'region based sampling' and 'adaptive
regions adjustment' (refer to 'mechanisms.rst' in the 11th patch of this
patchset for the detail) make it
- accurate (The monitored information is useful for DRAM level memory
management. It might not appropriate for Cache-level accuracy,
though.),
- light-weight (The monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied
online while making no impact on the performance of the target
workloads.), and
- scalable (the upper-bound of the instrumentation overhead is
controllable regardless of the size of target workloads.).
Using this framework, therefore, several memory management mechanisms such
as reclamation and THP can be optimized to aware real data access
patterns. Experimental access pattern aware memory management
optimization works that incurring high instrumentation overhead will be
able to have another try.
Though DAMON is for kernel subsystems, it can be easily exposed to the
user space by writing a DAMON-wrapper kernel subsystem. Then, user space
users who have some special workloads will be able to write personalized
tools or applications for deeper understanding and specialized
optimizations of their systems.
DAMON is also merged in two public Amazon Linux kernel trees that based on
v5.4.y[1] and v5.10.y[2].

The userspace tool[1] is available, released under GPLv2, and actively
being maintained. I am also planning to implement another basic user
interface in perf[2]. Also, the basic test suite for DAMON is available
under GPLv2[3].

Long-term Plan
--------------
DAMON is a part of a project called Data Access-aware Operating System
(DAOS). As the name implies, I want to improve the performance and
efficiency of systems using fine-grained data access patterns. The
optimizations are for both kernel and user spaces. I will therefore
modify or create kernel subsystems, export some of those to user space and
implement user space library / tools. Below shows the layers and
components for the project.

Framework: DAMON
Features: DAMOS, virtual addr, physical addr, ...

Evaluations
===========
We evaluated DAMON's overhead, monitoring quality and usefulness using 24
realistic workloads on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine running a kernel
that v24 DAMON patchset is applied.
DAMON is lightweight. It increases system memory usage by 0.39% and slows
target workloads down by 1.16%.
DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, namely 'ethp', removes
76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup.
Another experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation,
'prcl', reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory
footprint while incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case
(parsec3/freqmine).
NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation are
not for production but only for proof of concepts.
Please refer to the official document[1] or "Documentation/admin-guide/mm:
Add a document for DAMON" patch in this patchset for detailed evaluation
setup and results.
[1] https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/latest-damon/admin-guide/mm/damon/eval.html
Real-world User Story
=====================
In summary, DAMON has used on production systems and proved its usefulness.
DAMON as a profiler
-------------------
We analyzed characteristics of a large scale production systems of our
customers using DAMON. The systems utilize 70GB DRAM and 36 CPUs. From
this, we were able to find interesting things below.
There were obviously different access pattern under idle workload and
active workload. Under the idle workload, it accessed large memory
regions with low frequency, while the active workload accessed small
memory regions with high freuqnecy.
DAMON found a 7GB memory region that showing obviously high access
frequency under the active workload. We believe this is the
performance-effective working set and need to be protected.
There was a 4KB memory region that showing highest access frequency under
not only active but also idle workloads. We think this must be a hottest
code section like thing that should never be paged out.
For this analysis, DAMON used only 0.3-1% of single CPU time. Because we
used recording-based analysis, it consumed about 3-12 MB of disk space per
20 minutes. This is only small amount of disk space, but we can further
reduce the disk usage by using non-recording-based DAMON features. I'd
like to argue that only DAMON can do such detailed analysis (finding 4KB
highest region in 70GB memory) with the light overhead.
DAMON as a system optimization tool
-----------------------------------
We also found below potential performance problems on the systems and made
DAMON-based solutions.
The system doesn't want to make the workload suffer from the page
reclamation and thus it utilizes enough DRAM but no swap device. However,
we found the system is actively reclaiming file-backed pages, because the
system has intensive file IO. The file IO turned out to be not
performance critical for the workload, but the customer wanted to ensure
performance critical file-backed pages like code section to not mistakenly
be evicted.
Using direct IO should or `mlock()` would be a straightforward solution,
but modifying the user space code is not easy for the customer.
Alternatively, we could use DAMON-based operation scheme[1]. By using it,
we can ask DAMON to track access frequency of each region and make
'process_madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)[2]' call for regions having specific size
and access frequency for a time interval.
We also found the system is having high number of TLB misses. We tried
'always' THP enabled policy and it greatly reduced TLB misses, but the
page reclamation also been more frequent due to the THP internal
fragmentation caused memory bloat. We could try another DAMON-based
operation scheme that applies 'MADV_HUGEPAGE' to memory regions having
>=2MB size and high access frequency, while applying 'MADV_NOHUGEPAGE' to
regions having <2MB size and low access frequency.
We do not own the systems so we only reported the analysis results and
possible optimization solutions to the customers. The customers satisfied
about the analysis results and promised to try the optimization guides.

Comparison with Idle Page Tracking
==================================
Idle Page Tracking allows users to set and read idleness of pages using a
bitmap file which represents each page with each bit of the file. One
recommended usage of it is working set size detection. Users can do that
by
1. find PFN of each page for workloads in interest,
2. set all the pages as idle by doing writes to the bitmap file,
3. wait until the workload accesses its working set, and
4. read the idleness of the pages again and count pages became not idle.
NOTE: While Idle Page Tracking is for user space users, DAMON is primarily
designed for kernel subsystems though it can easily exposed to the user
space. Hence, this section only assumes such user space use of DAMON.
For what use cases Idle Page Tracking would be better?
------------------------------------------------------
1. Flexible usecases other than hotness monitoring.
Because Idle Page Tracking allows users to control the primitive (Page
idleness) by themselves, Idle Page Tracking users can do anything they
want. Meanwhile, DAMON is primarily designed to monitor the hotness of
each memory region. For this, DAMON asks users to provide sampling
interval and aggregation interval. For the reason, there could be some
use case that using Idle Page Tracking is simpler.
2. Physical memory monitoring.
Idle Page Tracking receives PFN range as input, so natively supports
physical memory monitoring.
DAMON is designed to be extensible for multiple address spaces and use
cases by implementing and using primitives for the given use case.
Therefore, by theory, DAMON has no limitation in the type of target
address space as long as primitives for the given address space exists.
However, the default primitives introduced by this patchset supports only
virtual address spaces.
Therefore, for physical memory monitoring, you should implement your own
primitives and use it, or simply use Idle Page Tracking.
Nonetheless, RFC patchsets[1] for the physical memory address space
primitives is already available. It also supports user memory same to
Idle Page Tracking.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200831104730.28970-1-sjpark@amazon.com/
For what use cases DAMON is better?
-----------------------------------
1. Hotness Monitoring.
Idle Page Tracking let users know only if a page frame is accessed or not.
For hotness check, the user should write more code and use more memory.
DAMON do that by itself.
2. Low Monitoring Overhead
DAMON receives user's monitoring request with one step and then provide
the results. So, roughly speaking, DAMON require only O(1) user/kernel
context switches.
In case of Idle Page Tracking, however, because the interface receives
contiguous page frames, the number of user/kernel context switches
increases as the monitoring target becomes complex and huge. As a result,
the context switch overhead could be not negligible.
Moreover, DAMON is born to handle with the monitoring overhead. Because
the core mechanism is pure logical, Idle Page Tracking users might be able
to implement the mechanism on their own, but it would be time consuming
and the user/kernel context switching will still more frequent than that
of DAMON. Also, the kernel subsystems cannot use the logic in this case.
3. Page granularity working set size detection.
Until v22 of this patchset, this was categorized as the thing Idle Page
Tracking could do better, because DAMON basically maintains additional
metadata for each of the monitoring target regions. So, in the page
granularity working set size detection use case, DAMON would incur (number
of monitoring target pages * size of metadata) memory overhead. Size of
the single metadata item is about 54 bytes, so assuming 4KB pages, about
1.3% of monitoring target pages will be additionally used.
All essential metadata for Idle Page Tracking are embedded in 'struct
page' and page table entries. Therefore, in this use case, only one
counter variable for working set size accounting is required if Idle Page
Tracking is used.
There are more details to consider, but roughly speaking, this is true in
most cases.
However, the situation changed from v23. Now DAMON supports arbitrary
types of monitoring targets, which don't use the metadata. Using that,
DAMON can do the working set size detection with no additional space
overhead but less user-kernel context switch. A first draft for the
implementation of monitoring primitives for this usage is available in a
DAMON development tree[1]. An RFC patchset for it based on this patchset
will also be available soon.
Since v24, the arbitrary type support is dropped from this patchset
because this patchset doesn't introduce real use of the type. You can
still get it from the DAMON development tree[2], though.
[1] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/pgidle_hack
[2] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/master
4. More future usecases
While Idle Page Tracking has tight coupling with base primitives (PG_Idle
and page table Accessed bits), DAMON is designed to be extensible for many
use cases and address spaces. If you need some special address type or
want to use special h/w access check primitives, you can write your own
primitives for that and configure DAMON to use those. Therefore, if your
use case could be changed a lot in future, using DAMON could be better.
Can I use both Idle Page Tracking and DAMON?
--------------------------------------------
Yes, though using them concurrently for overlapping memory regions could
result in interference to each other. Nevertheless, such use case would
be rare or makes no sense at all. Even in the case, the noise would bot
be really significant. So, you can choose whatever you want depending on
the characteristics of your use cases.

Sequence Of Patches
===================
First three patches implement the core logics of DAMON. The 1st patch
introduces basic sampling based hotness monitoring for arbitrary types of
targets. Following two patches implement the core mechanisms for control
of overhead and accuracy, namely regions based sampling (patch 2) and
adaptive regions adjustment (patch 3).
Now the essential parts of DAMON is complete, but it cannot work unless
someone provides monitoring primitives for a specific use case. The
following two patches make it just work for virtual address spaces
monitoring. The 4th patch makes 'PG_idle' can be used by DAMON and the
5th patch implements the virtual memory address space specific monitoring
primitives using page table Accessed bits and the 'PG_idle' page flag.
Now DAMON just works for virtual address space monitoring via the kernel
space api. To let the user space users can use DAMON, following four
patches add interfaces for them. The 6th patch adds a tracepoint for
monitoring results. The 7th patch implements a DAMON application kernel
module, namely damon-dbgfs, that simply wraps DAMON and exposes DAMON
interface to the user space via the debugfs interface. The 8th patch
further exports pid of monitoring thread (kdamond) to user space for
easier cpu usage accounting, and the 9th patch makes the debugfs interface
to support multiple contexts.
Three patches for maintainability follows. The 10th patch adds
documentations for both the user space and the kernel space. The 11th
patch provides unit tests (based on the kunit) while the 12th patch adds
user space tests (based on the kselftest).
Finally, the last patch (13th) updates the MAINTAINERS file.
This patch (of 13):
DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The
core mechanisms of DAMON make it
- accurate (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level
performance-centric memory management; It might be inappropriate for
CPU cache levels, though),
- light-weight (the monitoring overhead is normally low enough to be
applied online), and
- scalable (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range
regardless of the size of target workloads).
Using this framework, hence, we can easily write efficient kernel space
data access monitoring applications. For example, the kernel's memory
management mechanisms can make advanced decisions using this.
Experimental data access aware optimization works that incurring high
access monitoring overhead could again be implemented on top of this.
Due to its simple and flexible interface, providing user space interface
would be also easy. Then, user space users who have some special
workloads can write personalized applications for better understanding and
optimizations of their workloads and systems.
===
Nevertheless, this commit is defining and implementing only basic access
check part without the overhead-accuracy handling core logic. The basic
access check is as below.
The output of DAMON says what memory regions are how frequently accessed
for a given duration. The resolution of the access frequency is
controlled by setting ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``.
In detail, DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval`` and
aggregates the results. In other words, counts the number of the accesses
to each region. After each ``aggregation interval`` passes, DAMON calls
callback functions that previously registered by users so that users can
read the aggregated results and then clears the results. This can be
described in below simple pseudo-code::
init()
while monitoring_on:
for page in monitoring_target:
if accessed(page):
nr_accesses[page] += 1
if time() % aggregation_interval == 0:
for callback in user_registered_callbacks:
callback(monitoring_target, nr_accesses)
for page in monitoring_target:
nr_accesses[page] = 0
if time() % update_interval == 0:
update()
sleep(sampling interval)
The target regions constructed at the beginning of the monitoring and
updated after each ``regions_update_interval``, because the target regions
could be dynamically changed (e.g., mmap() or memory hotplug). The
monitoring overhead of this mechanism will arbitrarily increase as the
size of the target workload grows.
The basic monitoring primitives for actual access check and dynamic target
regions construction aren't in the core part of DAMON. Instead, it allows
users to implement their own primitives that are optimized for their use
case and configure DAMON to use those. In other words, users cannot use
current version of DAMON without some additional works.
Following commits will implement the core mechanisms for the
overhead-accuracy control and default primitives implementations.

When a secret memory region is active, memfd_secret disables hibernation.
One of the goals is to keep the secret data from being written to
persistent-storage.
It accomplishes this by maintaining a reference count to
`secretmem_users`. Once this reference is held your system can not be
hibernated due to the check in `hibernation_available()`. However,
because `secretmem_users` is of type `atomic_t`, reference counter
overflows are possible.
As you can see there's an `atomic_inc` for each `memfd` that is opened in
the `memfd_secret` syscall. If a local attacker succeeds to open 2^32
memfd's, the counter will wrap around to 0. This implies that you may
hibernate again, even though there are still regions of this secret
memory, thereby bypassing the security check.
In an attempt to fix this I have used `refcount_t` instead of `atomic_t`
which prevents reference counter overflows.

Patch series "small ioremap cleanups".
The first patch moves a little code around the vmalloc/ioremap boundary
following a bigger move by Nick earlier. The second enforces
non-executable mapping on ioremap just like we do for vmap. No driver
currently uses executable mappings anyway, as they should.
This patch (of 2):
This keeps it together with the implementation, and to remove the
vmap_range wrapper.

Currently, the "auto-movable" online policy does not allow for hotplugged
KERNEL (ZONE_NORMAL) memory to increase the amount of MOVABLE memory we
can have, primarily, because there is no coordiantion across memory
devices and we don't want to create zone-imbalances accidentially when
unplugging memory.
However, within a single memory device it's different. Let's allow for
KERNEL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for more MOVABLE
within the same memory group. The only thing we have to take care of is
that the managing driver avoids zone imbalances by unplugging MOVABLE
memory first, otherwise there can be corner cases where unplug of memory
could result in (accidential) zone imbalances.
virtio-mem is the only user of dynamic memory groups and recently added
support for prioritizing unplug of ZONE_MOVABLE over ZONE_NORMAL, so we
don't need a new toggle to enable it for dynamic memory groups.
We limit this handling to dynamic memory groups, because:
* We want to keep the runtime overhead for collecting stats when
onlining a single memory block small. We tend to have only a handful of
dynamic memory groups, but we can have quite some static memory groups
(e.g., 256 DIMMs).
* It doesn't make too much sense for static memory groups, as we try
onlining all applicable memory blocks either completely to ZONE_MOVABLE
or not. In ordinary operation, we won't have a mixture of zones within
a static memory group.
When adding memory to a dynamic memory group, we'll first online memory to
ZONE_MOVABLE as long as early KERNEL memory allows for it. Then, we'll
online the next unit(s) to ZONE_NORMAL, until we can online the next
unit(s) to ZONE_MOVABLE.
For a simple virtio-mem device with a MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio of 3:1, it will
result in a layout like:
[M][M][M][M][M][M][M][M][N][M][M][M][N][M][M][M]...
^ movable memory due to early kernel memory
^ allows for more movable memory ...
^-----^ ... here
^ allows for more movable memory ...
^-----^ ... here
While the created layout is sub-optimal when it comes to contiguous zones,
it gives us the maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a
device; we can grow small VMs really big in small steps, and still shrink
reliably to e.g., 1/4 of the maximum VM size in this example, removing
full memory blocks along with meta data more reliably.
Mark dynamic memory groups in the xarray such that we can efficiently
iterate over them when collecting stats. In usual setups, we have one
virtio-mem device per NUMA node, and usually only a small number of NUMA
nodes.
Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this
behavior configurable.

Use memory groups to improve our "auto-movable" onlining policy:
1. For static memory groups (e.g., a DIMM), online a memory block MOVABLE
only if all other memory blocks in the group are either MOVABLE or could
be onlined MOVABLE. A DIMM will either be MOVABLE or not, not a mixture.
2. For dynamic memory groups (e.g., a virtio-mem device), online a
memory block MOVABLE only if all other memory blocks inside the
current unit are either MOVABLE or could be onlined MOVABLE. For a
virtio-mem device with a device block size with 512 MiB, all 128 MiB
memory blocks wihin a 512 MiB unit will either be MOVABLE or not, not
a mixture.
We have to pass the memory group to zone_for_pfn_range() to take the
memory group into account.
Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this

In our "auto-movable" memory onlining policy, we want to make decisions
across memory blocks of a single memory device. Examples of memory
devices include ACPI memory devices (in the simplest case a single DIMM)
and virtio-mem. For now, we don't have a connection between a single
memory block device and the real memory device. Each memory device
consists of 1..X memory block devices.
Let's logically group memory blocks belonging to the same memory device in
"memory groups". Memory groups can span multiple physical ranges and a
memory group itself does not contain any information regarding physical
ranges, only properties (e.g., "max_pages") necessary for improved memory
onlining.
Introduce two memory group types:
1) Static memory group: E.g., a single ACPI memory device, consisting
of 1..X memory resources. A memory group consists of 1..Y memory
blocks. The whole group is added/removed in one go. If any part
cannot get offlined, the whole group cannot be removed.
2) Dynamic memory group: E.g., a single virtio-mem device. Memory is
dynamically added/removed in a fixed granularity, called a "unit",
consisting of 1..X memory blocks. A unit is added/removed in one go.
If any part of a unit cannot get offlined, the whole unit cannot be
removed.
In case of 1) we usually want either all memory managed by ZONE_MOVABLE or
none. In case of 2) we usually want to have as many units as possible
managed by ZONE_MOVABLE. We want a single unit to be of the same type.
For now, memory groups are an internal concept that is not exposed to user
space; we might want to change that in the future, though.
add_memory() users can specify a mgid instead of a nid when passing the
MHP_NID_IS_MGID flag.

When onlining without specifying a zone (using "online" instead of
"online_kernel" or "online_movable"), we currently select a zone such that
existing zones are kept contiguous. This online policy made sense in the
past, where contiguous zones where required.
We'd like to implement smarter policies, however:
* User space has little insight. As one example, it has no idea which
memory blocks logically belong together (e.g., to a DIMM or to a
virtio-mem device).
* Drivers that add memory in separate memory blocks, especially
virtio-mem, want memory to get onlined right from the kernel when
adding.
So we really want to have onlining to differing zones managed in the
kernel, configured by user space.
We see more and more cases where we might eventually hotplug a lot of
memory in the future (e.g., eventually grow a 2 GiB VM to 64 GiB),
however:
* Resizing happens dynamically, in smaller steps in both directions
(e.g., 2 GiB -> 8 GiB -> 4 GiB -> 16 GiB ...)
* We still want as much flexibility as possible, especially,
hotunplugging as much memory as possible later.
We can really only use "online_movable" if we know that the amount of
memory we are going to hotplug upfront, and we know that it won't result
in a zone imbalance. So in our example, a 2 GiB VM that could grow to 64
GiB could currently not use "online_movable", and instead, "online_kernel"
would have to be used, resulting in worse (no) memory hotunplug
reliability.
Let's add a new "auto-movable" online policy that considers the current
zone ratios (global, per-node) to determine, whether we a memory block can
be onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE:
MOVABLE : KERNEL
However, internally we'll only consider the following ratio for now:
MOVABLE : KERNEL_EARLY
For now, we don't allow for hotplugged KERNEL memory to allow for more
MOVABLE memory, because there is no coordination across memory devices.
In follow-up patches, we will allow for more KERNEL memory within a memory
device to allow for more MOVABLE memory within the same memory device --
which only makes sense for special memory device types.
We base our calculation on "present pages", see the code comments for
details. Hotplugged memory will get online to ZONE_MOVABLE if the
configured ratio allows for it. Depending on the setup, this can result
in fragmented zones, which can make compaction slower and dynamic
allocation of gigantic pages when not using CMA less reliable (... which
is already pretty unreliable).
The old policy will be the default and called "contig-zones". In
follow-up patches, our new policy will use additional information, such as
memory groups, to make even smarter decisions across memory blocks.
Configuration:
* memory_hotplug.online_policy is used to switch between both polices
and defaults to "contig-zones".
* memory_hotplug.auto_movable_ratio defines the maximum ratio is in
percent and defaults to "301" -- allowing e.g., most 8 GiB machines to
grow to 32 GiB and have all hotplugged memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. The
additional percent accounts for a handful of lost present pages (e.g.,
firmware allocations). User space is expected to adjust this ratio when
enabling the new "auto-movable" policy, though.
* memory_hotplug.auto_movable_numa_aware considers numa node stats in
addition to global stats, and defaults to "true".
Note: just like the old policy, the new policy won't take things like
unmovable huge pages or memory ballooning that doesn't support balloon
compaction into account. User space has to configure onlining
accordingly.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory groups", v3.
I. Goal
The goal of this series is improving in-kernel auto-online support. It
tackles the fundamental problems that:
1) We can create zone imbalances when onlining all memory blindly to
ZONE_MOVABLE, in the worst case crashing the system. We have to know
upfront how much memory we are going to hotplug such that we can
safely enable auto-onlining of all hotplugged memory to ZONE_MOVABLE
via "online_movable". This is far from practical and only applicable in
limited setups -- like inside VMs under the RHV/oVirt hypervisor which
will never hotplug more than 3 times the boot memory (and the
limitation is only in place due to the Linux limitation).
2) We see more setups that implement dynamic VM resizing, hot(un)plugging
memory to resize VM memory. In these setups, we might hotplug a lot of
memory, but it might happen in various small steps in both directions
(e.g., 2 GiB -> 8 GiB -> 4 GiB -> 16 GiB ...). virtio-mem is the
primary driver of this upstream right now, performing such dynamic
resizing NUMA-aware via multiple virtio-mem devices.
Onlining all hotplugged memory to ZONE_NORMAL means we basically have
no hotunplug guarantees. Onlining all to ZONE_MOVABLE means we can
easily run into zone imbalances when growing a VM. We want a mixture,
and we want as much memory as reasonable/configured in ZONE_MOVABLE.
Details regarding zone imbalances can be found at [1].
3) Memory devices consist of 1..X memory block devices, however, the
kernel doesn't really track the relationship. Consequently, also user
space has no idea. We want to make per-device decisions.
As one example, for memory hotunplug it doesn't make sense to use a
mixture of zones within a single DIMM: we want all MOVABLE if
possible, otherwise all !MOVABLE, because any !MOVABLE part will easily
block the whole DIMM from getting hotunplugged.
As another example, virtio-mem operates on individual units that span
1..X memory blocks. Similar to a DIMM, we want a unit to either be all
MOVABLE or !MOVABLE. A "unit" can be thought of like a DIMM, however,
all units of a virtio-mem device logically belong together and are
managed (added/removed) by a single driver. We want as much memory of
a virtio-mem device to be MOVABLE as possible.
4) We want memory onlining to be done right from the kernel while adding
memory, not triggered by user space via udev rules; for example, this
is reqired for fast memory hotplug for drivers that add individual
memory blocks, like virito-mem. We want a way to configure a policy in
the kernel and avoid implementing advanced policies in user space.
The auto-onlining support we have in the kernel is not sufficient. All we
have is a) online everything MOVABLE (online_movable) b) online everything
!MOVABLE (online_kernel) c) keep zones contiguous (online). This series
allows configuring c) to mean instead "online movable if possible
according to the coniguration, driven by a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio"
-- a new onlining policy.
II. Approach
This series does 3 things:
1) Introduces the "auto-movable" online policy that initially operates on
individual memory blocks only. It uses a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio
to make a decision whether a memory block will be onlined to
ZONE_MOVABLE or not. However, in the basic form, hotplugged KERNEL
memory does not allow for more MOVABLE memory (details in the
patches). CMA memory is treated like MOVABLE memory.
2) Introduces static (e.g., DIMM) and dynamic (e.g., virtio-mem) memory
groups and uses group information to make decisions in the
"auto-movable" online policy across memory blocks of a single memory
device (modeled as memory group). More details can be found in patch
#3 or in the DIMM example below.
3) Maximizes ZONE_MOVABLE memory within dynamic memory groups, by
allowing ZONE_NORMAL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for
more ZONE_MOVABLE memory within the same memory group. The target use
case is dynamic VM resizing using virtio-mem. See the virtio-mem
example below.
I remember that the basic idea of using a ratio to implement a policy in
the kernel was once mentioned by Vitaly Kuznetsov, but I might be wrong (I
lost the pointer to that discussion).
For me, the main use case is using it along with virtio-mem (and DIMMs /
ppc64 dlpar where necessary) for dynamic resizing of VMs, increasing the
amount of memory we can hotunplug reliably again if we might eventually
hotplug a lot of memory to a VM.
III. Target Usage
The target usage will be:
1) Linux boots with "mhp_default_online_type=offline"
2) User space (e.g., systemd unit) configures memory onlining (according
to a config file and system properties), for example:
* Setting memory_hotplug.online_policy=auto-movable
* Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_ratio=301
* Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_numa_aware=true
3) User space enabled auto onlining via "echo online >
/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks"
4) User space triggers manual onlining of all already-offline memory
blocks (go over offline memory blocks and set them to "online")
IV. Example
For DIMMs, hotplugging 4 GiB DIMMs to a 4 GiB VM with a configured ratio of
301% results in the following layout:
Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early)
Memory block 32-47: Normal (early)
Memory block 48-79: Movable (DIMM 0)
Memory block 80-111: Movable (DIMM 1)
Memory block 112-143: Movable (DIMM 2)
Memory block 144-275: Normal (DIMM 3)
Memory block 176-207: Normal (DIMM 4)
... all Normal
(-> hotplugged Normal memory does not allow for more Movable memory)
For virtio-mem, using a simple, single virtio-mem device with a 4 GiB VM
will result in the following layout:
Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early)
Memory block 32-47: Normal (early)
Memory block 48-143: Movable (virtio-mem, first 12 GiB)
Memory block 144: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB)
Memory block 145-147: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB)
Memory block 148: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB)
Memory block 149-151: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB)
... Normal/Movable mixture as above
(-> hotplugged Normal memory allows for more Movable memory within
the same device)
Which gives us maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a
VM in smaller steps.
V. Doc Update
I'll update the memory-hotplug.rst documentation, once the overhaul [1] is
usptream. Until then, details can be found in patch #2.
VI. Future Work
1) Use memory groups for ppc64 dlpar
2) Being able to specify a portion of (early) kernel memory that will be
excluded from the ratio. Like "128 MiB globally/per node" are excluded.
This might be helpful when starting VMs with extremely small memory
footprint (e.g., 128 MiB) and hotplugging memory later -- not wanting
the first hotplugged units getting onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE. One
alternative would be a trigger to not consider ZONE_DMA memory
in the ratio. We'll have to see if this is really rrequired.
3) Indicate to user space that MOVABLE might be a bad idea -- especially
relevant when memory ballooning without support for balloon compaction
is active.
This patch (of 9):
For implementing a new memory onlining policy, which determines when to
online memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE semi-automatically, we need the
number of present early (boot) pages -- present pages excluding hotplugged
pages. Let's track these pages per zone.
Pass a page instead of the zone to adjust_present_page_count(), similar as
adjust_managed_page_count() and derive the zone from the page.
It's worth noting that a memory block to be offlined/onlined is either
completely "early" or "not early". add_memory() and friends can only add
complete memory blocks and we only online/offline complete (individual)
memory blocks.

There is only a single user remaining. We can simply lookup the nid only
used for node offlining purposes when walking our memory blocks. We don't
expect to remove multi-nid ranges; and if we'd ever do, we most probably
don't care about removing multi-nid ranges that actually result in empty
nodes.
If ever required, we can detect the "multi-nid" scenario and simply try
offlining all online nodes.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: preparatory patches for new online policy and memory"
These are all cleanups and one fix previously sent as part of [1]:
[PATCH v1 00/12] mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory
groups.
These patches make sense even without the other series, therefore I pulled
them out to make the other series easier to digest.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210607195430.48228-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 4):
Checkpatch complained on a follow-up patch that we are using "unsigned"
here, which defaults to "unsigned int" and checkpatch is correct.
As we will search for a fitting zone using the wrong pfn, we might end
up onlining memory to one of the special kernel zones, such as ZONE_DMA,
which can end badly as the onlined memory does not satisfy properties of
these zones.
Use "unsigned long" instead, just as we do in other places when handling
PFNs. This can bite us once we have physical addresses in the range of
multiple TB.

Patch series "mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE".
After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no
architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock. This
makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration
option redundant.
The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch
simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had
pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if.
This patch (of 2):
After recent changes in freeing of the unused parts of the memory map and
rework of pfn_valid() in arm and arm64 there are no architectures that can
have holes in the memory map within a pageblock and so nothing can enable
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE which guards non trivial implementation of
pfn_valid_within().
With that, pfn_valid_within() is always hardwired to 1 and can be
completely removed.
Remove calls to pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.

This reverts commit 9857a17f20.
That commit was completely broken, and I should have caught on to it
earlier. But happily, the kernel test robot noticed the breakage fairly
quickly.
The breakage is because "try_get_page()" is about avoiding the page
reference count overflow case, but is otherwise the exact same as a
plain "get_page()".
In contrast, "try_get_compound_head()" is an entirely different beast,
and uses __page_cache_add_speculative() because it's not just about the
page reference count, but also about possibly racing with the underlying
page going away.
So all the commentary about how
"try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance,
try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more
thoroughly"
was just completely wrong: yes, try_get_compound_head() handles
speculative page references, but the point is that try_get_page() does
not, and must not.
So there's no lack of maintainance - there are fundamentally different
semantics.
A speculative page reference would be entirely wrong in "get_page()",
and it's entirely wrong in "try_get_page()". It's not about
speculation, it's purely about "uhhuh, you can't get this page because
you've tried to increment the reference count too much already".
The reason the kernel test robot noticed this bug was that it hit the
VM_BUG_ON() in __page_cache_add_speculative(), which is all about
verifying that the context of any speculative page access is correct.
But since that isn't what try_get_page() is all about, the VM_BUG_ON()
tests things that are not correct to test for try_get_page().

- We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec

- We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe:
sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the
file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain
denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,
sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file.

Embed local_lock into struct kmem_cpu_slab and use the irq-safe versions of
local_lock instead of plain local_irq_save/restore. On !PREEMPT_RT that's
equivalent, with better lockdep visibility. On PREEMPT_RT that means better
preemption.
However, the cost on PREEMPT_RT is the loss of lockless fast paths which only
work with cpu freelist. Those are designed to detect and recover from being
preempted by other conflicting operations (both fast or slow path), but the
slow path operations assume they cannot be preempted by a fast path operation,
which is guaranteed naturally with disabled irqs. With local locks on
PREEMPT_RT, the fast paths now also need to take the local lock to avoid races.
In the allocation fastpath slab_alloc_node() we can just defer to the slowpath
__slab_alloc() which also works with cpu freelist, but under the local lock.
In the free fastpath do_slab_free() we have to add a new local lock protected
version of freeing to the cpu freelist, as the existing slowpath only works
with the page freelist.
Also update the comment about locking scheme in SLUB to reflect changes done
by this series.

We currently use preempt_disable() (directly or via get_cpu_ptr()) to stabilize
the pointer to kmem_cache_cpu. On PREEMPT_RT this would be incompatible with
the list_lock spinlock. We can use migrate_disable() instead, but that
increases overhead on !PREEMPT_RT as it's an unconditional function call.
In order to get the best available mechanism on both PREEMPT_RT and
!PREEMPT_RT, introduce private slub_get_cpu_ptr() and slub_put_cpu_ptr()
wrappers and use them.

Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race:
task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable()
task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial)
interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page
task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache
task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually
halves of the pointer page->lru.prev
task B (on another CPU): frees page
interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list
task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds
which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing
halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial()
happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable,
I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now
to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be
in a completely different state.
Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe
against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter
disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call
put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial
and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced
in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial()
on RT.
After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid
different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial()
with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere.
This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual
partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with
the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race
reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

We need to disable irqs around slab_lock() (a bit spinlock) to make it
irq-safe. Most calls to slab_lock() are nested under spin_lock_irqsave() which
doesn't disable irqs on PREEMPT_RT, so add explicit disabling with PREEMPT_RT.
The exception is cmpxchg_double_slab() which already disables irqs, so use a
__slab_[un]lock() variant without irq disable there.
slab_[un]lock() thus needs a flags pointer parameter, which is unused on !RT.
free_debug_processing() now has two flags variables, which looks odd, but only
one is actually used - the one used in spin_lock_irqsave() on !RT and the one
used in slab_lock() on RT.
As a result, __cmpxchg_double_slab() and cmpxchg_double_slab() become
effectively identical on RT, as both will disable irqs, which is necessary on
RT as most callers of this function also rely on irqsaving lock operations.
Thus, assert that irqs are already disabled in __cmpxchg_double_slab() only on
!RT and also change the VM_BUG_ON assertion to the more standard lockdep_assert
one.

flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache
is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens
within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT.
The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The
per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue.
Because a workqueue handler, unlike IPI handler, does not disable irqs,
flush_slab() now has to disable them for working with the kmem_cache_cpu
fields. deactivate_slab() is safe to call with irqs enabled.

flush_slab() is called either as part IPI handler on given live cpu, or as a
cleanup on behalf of another cpu that went offline. The first case needs to
protect updating the kmem_cache_cpu fields with disabled irqs. Currently the
whole call happens with irqs disabled by the IPI handler, but the following
patch will change from IPI to workqueue, and flush_slab() will have to disable
irqs (to be replaced with a local lock later) in the critical part.
To prepare for this change, replace the call to flush_slab() for the dead cpu
handling with an opencoded variant that will not disable irqs nor take a local

Unfreezing partial list can be split to two phases - detaching the list from
struct kmem_cache_cpu, and processing the list. The whole operation does not
need to be protected by disabled irqs. Restructure the code to separate the
detaching (with disabled irqs) and unfreezing (with irq disabling to be reduced
in the next patch).
Also, unfreeze_partials() can be called from another cpu on behalf of a cpu
that is being offlined, where disabling irqs on the local cpu has no sense, so
restructure the code as follows:
- __unfreeze_partials() is the bulk of unfreeze_partials() that processes the
detached percpu partial list
- unfreeze_partials() detaches list from current cpu with irqs disabled and
calls __unfreeze_partials()
- unfreeze_partials_cpu() is to be called for the offlined cpu so it needs no
irq disabling, and is called from __flush_cpu_slab()
- flush_cpu_slab() is for the local cpu thus it needs to call
unfreeze_partials(). So it can't simply call
__flush_cpu_slab(smp_processor_id()) anymore and we have to open-code the
proper calls.

The function is now safe to be called with irqs enabled, so move the calls
outside of irq disabled sections.
When called from ___slab_alloc() -> flush_slab() we have irqs disabled, so to
reenable them before deactivate_slab() we need to open-code flush_slab() in
___slab_alloc() and reenable irqs after modifying the kmem_cache_cpu fields.
But that means a IRQ handler meanwhile might have assigned a new page to
kmem_cache_cpu.page so we have to retry the whole check.
The remaining callers of flush_slab() are the IPI handler which has disabled
irqs anyway, and slub_cpu_dead() which will be dealt with in the following
patch.

dectivate_slab() now no longer touches the kmem_cache_cpu structure, so it will
be possible to call it with irqs enabled. Just convert the spin_lock calls to
their irq saving/restoring variants to make it irq-safe.
Note we now have to use cmpxchg_double_slab() for irq-safe slab_lock(), because
in some situations we don't take the list_lock, which would disable irqs.

deactivate_slab() removes the cpu slab by merging the cpu freelist with slab's
freelist and putting the slab on the proper node's list. It also sets the
respective kmem_cache_cpu pointers to NULL.
By extracting the kmem_cache_cpu operations from the function, we can make it
not dependent on disabled irqs.
Also if we return a single free pointer from ___slab_alloc, we no longer have
to assign kmem_cache_cpu.page before deactivation or care if somebody preempted
us and assigned a different page to our kmem_cache_cpu in the process.

Building on top of the previous patch, re-enable irqs before checking new

When we obtain a new slab page from node partial list or page allocator, we
assign it to kmem_cache_cpu, perform some checks, and if they fail, we undo
the assignment.
In order to allow doing the checks without irq disabled, restructure the code

allocate_slab() currently re-enables irqs before calling to the page allocator.
It depends on gfpflags_allow_blocking() to determine if it's safe to do so.
Now we can instead simply restore irq before calling it through new_slab().
The other caller early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() is unaffected by this.

Continue reducing the irq disabled scope. Check for per-cpu partial slabs with
first with irqs enabled and then recheck with irqs disabled before grabbing
the slab page. Mostly preparatory for the following patches.

As another step of shortening irq disabled sections in ___slab_alloc(), delay
disabling irqs until we pass the initial checks if there is a cached percpu
slab and it's suitable for our allocation.
Now we have to recheck c->page after actually disabling irqs as an allocation
in irq handler might have replaced it.
Because we call pfmemalloc_match() as one of the checks, we might hit
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageSlab(page)) in PageSlabPfmemalloc in case we get
interrupted and the page is freed. Thus introduce a pfmemalloc_match_unsafe()
variant that lacks the PageSlab check.

Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This
includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in
the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags.
Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when
it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts
are undesirable.
As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into
___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer
from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not
protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled
irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit,
slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled.
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them
before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The
whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption.
When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable
preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow
blocking (this will be improved by later patches).
The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption
(on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following
patches.
Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in
all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging
the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

In slab_alloc_node() and do_slab_free() fastpaths we need to guarantee that
our kmem_cache_cpu pointer is from the same cpu as the tid value. Currently
that's done by reading the tid first using this_cpu_read(), then the
kmem_cache_cpu pointer and verifying we read the same tid using the pointer and
plain READ_ONCE().
This can be simplified to just fetching kmem_cache_cpu pointer and then reading
tid using the pointer. That guarantees they are from the same cpu. We don't
need to read the tid using this_cpu_read() because the value will be validated
by this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(), making sure we are on the correct cpu and the
freelist didn't change by anyone preempting us since reading the tid.

When we allocate slab object from a newly acquired page (from node's partial
list or page allocator), we usually also retain the page as a new percpu slab.
There are two exceptions - when pfmemalloc status of the page doesn't match our
gfp flags, or when the cache has debugging enabled.
The current code for these decisions is not easy to follow, so restructure it
and add comments. The new structure will also help with the following changes.

The function get_partial() finds a suitable page on a partial list, acquires
and returns its freelist and assigns the page pointer to kmem_cache_cpu.
In later patch we will need more control over the kmem_cache_cpu.page
assignment, so instead of passing a kmem_cache_cpu pointer, pass a pointer to a
pointer to a page that get_partial() can fill and the caller can assign the
kmem_cache_cpu.page pointer. No functional change as all of this still happens
with disabled IRQs.

The later patches will need more fine grained control over individual actions

Commit d6e0b7fa11 ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately")
introduced cpu partial flushing for kmemcg caches, based on setting the target
cpu_partial to 0 and adding a flushing check in put_cpu_partial().
This code that sets cpu_partial to 0 was later moved by c9fc586403 ("slab:
introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()") and ultimately removed by 9855609bde
("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted
allocations"). However the check and flush in put_cpu_partial() was never
removed, although it's effectively a dead code. So this patch removes it.
Note that d6e0b7fa11 also added preempt_disable()/enable() to
unfreeze_partials() which could be thus also considered unnecessary. But
further patches will rely on it, so keep it.

In slab_free_hook() we disable irqs around the debug_check_no_locks_freed()
call, which is unnecessary, as irqs are already being disabled inside the call.
This seems to be leftover from the past where there were more calls inside the
irq disabled sections. Remove the irq disable/enable operations.

Slub has a static spinlock protected bitmap for marking which objects are on
freelist when it wants to list them, for situations where dynamically
allocating such map can lead to recursion or locking issues, and on-stack
bitmap would be too large.
The handlers of debugfs files alloc_traces and free_traces also currently use this
shared bitmap, but their syscall context makes it straightforward to allocate a
private map before entering locked sections, so switch these processing paths
to use a private bitmap.

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.
To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory
of the process immediately when the app switches to forground. Calling
process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring
memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory
pressure under control. One way to accomplish that is to kill
non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones.
Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and
Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd.
For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly
and efficiently. Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its
memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the
process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the
process is running. A mechanism to free resources of the target process
in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its
memory pressure.
Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying
process from the context of the caller. This way the memory is freed in a
more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller. The
workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller. The
operation is allowed only on a dying process.
After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to
introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case.
The API is as follows,
int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of
an exiting process.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file
descriptor.
(See pidfd_open(2) for further information)
The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this
argument must be specified as 0.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EBADF pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor.
EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space.
EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7).
EINVAL flags is not 0.
EINVAL The memory of the task cannot be released because the
process is not exiting, the address space is shared
with another live process or there is a core dump in
progress.
ENOSYS This system call is not supported, for example, without
MMU support built into Linux.
ESRCH The target process does not exist (i.e., it has terminated
and been waited on).

There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with
memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist.
memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any
future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the
users outside memblock.
Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to
memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make
memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock.
This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in
memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of
memblock_find_in_range().

Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal
admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2),
get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text
about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference.
NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like
PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly
desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes
that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those
allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight
forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system
administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode
will work either per VMA, or per thread.

The semantics of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is similar to MPOL_PREFERRED, that it
will first try to allocate memory from the preferred node(s), and fallback
to all nodes in system when first try fails.
Add a dedicated function alloc_pages_preferred_many() for it just like for
'interleave' policy, which will be used by 2 general memoory allocation
APIs: alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_vma()

Patch series "Introduce multi-preference mempolicy", v7.
This patch series introduces the concept of the MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY
mempolicy. This mempolicy mode can be used with either the
set_mempolicy(2) or mbind(2) interfaces. Like the MPOL_PREFERRED
interface, it allows an application to set a preference for nodes which
will fulfil memory allocation requests. Unlike the MPOL_PREFERRED mode,
it takes a set of nodes. Like the MPOL_BIND interface, it works over a
set of nodes. Unlike MPOL_BIND, it will not cause a SIGSEGV or invoke the
OOM killer if those preferred nodes are not available.
Along with these patches are patches for libnuma, numactl, numademo, and
memhog. They still need some polish, but can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/numactl/-/tree/prefer-many It allows new
usage: `numactl -P 0,3,4`
The goal of the new mode is to enable some use-cases when using tiered memory
usage models which I've lovingly named.
1a. The Hare - The interconnect is fast enough to meet bandwidth and
latency requirements allowing preference to be given to all nodes with
"fast" memory.
1b. The Indiscriminate Hare - An application knows it wants fast
memory (or perhaps slow memory), but doesn't care which node it runs
on. The application can prefer a set of nodes and then xpu bind to
the local node (cpu, accelerator, etc). This reverses the nodes are
chosen today where the kernel attempts to use local memory to the CPU
whenever possible. This will attempt to use the local accelerator to
the memory.
2. The Tortoise - The administrator (or the application itself) is
aware it only needs slow memory, and so can prefer that.
Much of this is almost achievable with the bind interface, but the bind
interface suffers from an inability to fallback to another set of nodes if
binding fails to all nodes in the nodemask.
Like MPOL_BIND a nodemask is given. Inherently this removes ordering from the
preference.
> /* Set first two nodes as preferred in an 8 node system. */
> const unsigned long nodes = 0x3
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8);
> /* Mimic interleave policy, but have fallback *.
> const unsigned long nodes = 0xaa
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8);
Some internal discussion took place around the interface. There are two
alternatives which we have discussed, plus one I stuck in:
1. Ordered list of nodes. Currently it's believed that the added
complexity is nod needed for expected usecases.
2. A flag for bind to allow falling back to other nodes. This
confuses the notion of binding and is less flexible than the current
solution.
3. Create flags or new modes that helps with some ordering. This
offers both a friendlier API as well as a solution for more customized
usage. It's unknown if it's worth the complexity to support this.
Here is sample code for how this might work:
> // Prefer specific nodes for some something wacky
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, 0x17c, 1024);
>
> // Default
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_SOCKET, NULL, 0);
> // which is the same as
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Hare
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Tortoise
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE_REV, NULL, 0);
>
> // Prefer the fast memory of the first two sockets
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, -1, 2);
>
This patch (of 5):
The NUMA APIs currently allow passing in a "preferred node" as a single
bit set in a nodemask. If more than one bit it set, bits after the first
are ignored.
This single node is generally OK for location-based NUMA where memory
being allocated will eventually be operated on by a single CPU. However,
in systems with multiple memory types, folks want to target a *type* of
memory instead of a location. For instance, someone might want some
high-bandwidth memory but do not care about the CPU next to which it is
allocated. Or, they want a cheap, high capacity allocation and want to
target all NUMA nodes which have persistent memory in volatile mode. In
both of these cases, the application wants to target a *set* of nodes, but
does not want strict MPOL_BIND behavior as that could lead to OOM killer
or SIGSEGV.
So add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy to support the multiple preferred nodes
requirement. This is not a pie-in-the-sky dream for an API. This was a
response to a specific ask of more than one group at Intel. Specifically:
1. There are existing libraries that target memory types such as
https://github.com/memkind/memkind. These are known to suffer from
SIGSEGV's when memory is low on targeted memory "kinds" that span more
than one node. The MCDRAM on a Xeon Phi in "Cluster on Die" mode is an
example of this.
2. Volatile-use persistent memory users want to have a memory policy
which is targeted at either "cheap and slow" (PMEM) or "expensive and
fast" (DRAM). However, they do not want to experience allocation
failures when the targeted type is unavailable.
3. Allocate-then-run. Generally, we let the process scheduler decide
on which physical CPU to run a task. That location provides a default
allocation policy, and memory availability is not generally considered
when placing tasks. For situations where memory is valuable and
constrained, some users want to allocate memory first, *then* allocate
close compute resources to the allocation. This is the reverse of the
normal (CPU) model. Accelerators such as GPUs that operate on
core-mm-managed memory are interested in this model.
A check is added in sanitize_mpol_flags() to not permit 'prefer_many'
policy to be used for now, and will be removed in later patch after all
implementations for 'prefer_many' are ready, as suggested by Michal Hocko.

The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run
compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages
based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness. Triggering the
compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is
not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system
usecases which may have few MB's of RAM. Enabling the proactive
compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such
systems.
Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting
a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by
using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness). So, on systems where enabling
the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the
same from user space on write to its sysctl interface. As an example, say
app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be
launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare
the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from
userspace.
This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to
sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

Vlastimil Babka figured out that when fragmentation score didn't go down
across the proactive compaction i.e. when no progress is made, next wake
up for proactive compaction is deferred for 1 << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT,
i.e. 64 times, with each wakeup interval of
HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC(=500). In each of this wakeup, it just
decrement 'proactive_defer' counter and goes sleep i.e. it is getting
woken to just decrement a counter.
The same deferral time can also achieved by simply doing the
HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT thus unnecessary
wakeup of kcompact thread is avoided thus also removes the need of
'proactive_defer' thread counter.

drop_slab_node() is called as part of echo 2>/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
operation. It iterates over all memcgs and calls shrink_slab() which in
turn iterates over all slab shrinkers. Freed objects are counted and as
long as the total number of freed objects from all memcgs and shrinkers is
higher than 10, drop_slab_node() loops for another full memcgs*shrinkers
iteration.
This arbitrary constant threshold of 10 can result in effectively an
infinite loop on a system with large number of memcgs and/or parallel
activity that allocates new objects. This has been reported previously by
Chunxin Zang [1] and recently by our customer.
The previous report [1] has resulted in commit 069c411de4 ("mm/vmscan:
fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node") which added a check for signals
allowing the user to terminate the command writing to drop_caches. At the
time it was also considered to make the threshold grow with each iteration
to guarantee termination, but such patch hasn't been formally proposed
yet.
This patch implements the dynamically growing threshold. At first
iteration it's enough to free one object to continue, and this threshold
effectively doubles with each iteration. Our customer's feedback was
positive.
There is always a risk that this change will result on some system in a
previously terminating drop_caches operation to terminate sooner and free
fewer objects. Ideally the semantics would guarantee freeing all freeable
objects that existed at the moment of starting the operation, while not
looping forever for newly allocated objects, but that's not feasible to
track. In the less ideal solution based on thresholds, arguably the
termination guarantee is more important than the exhaustiveness guarantee.
If there are reports of large regression wrt being exhaustive, we can
tune how fast the threshold grows.

pages are page_ref_freezed. More details can be found in the respective

This patch (of 4):
If the MADV_FREE pages are redirtied before they could be reclaimed, put
the pages back to anonymous LRU list by setting SwapBacked flag and the
pages will be reclaimed in normal swapout way. But as Yu Zhao pointed
out, "The page has only one reference left, which is from the isolation.
After the caller puts the page back on lru and drops the reference, the
page will be freed anyway. It doesn't matter which lru it goes." So we
don't bother checking PageDirty here.
[Yu Zhao's comment is also quoted in the code.]

Some method is obviously needed to enable reclaim-based migration.
Just like traditional autonuma, there will be some workloads that will
benefit like workloads with more "static" configurations where hot pages
stay hot and cold pages stay cold. If pages come and go from the hot and
cold sets, the benefits of this approach will be more limited.
The benefits are truly workload-based and *not* hardware-based. We do not
believe that there is a viable threshold where certain hardware
configurations should have this mechanism enabled while others do not.
To be conservative, earlier work defaulted to disable reclaim- based
migration and did not include a mechanism to enable it. This proposes add
a new sysfs file
/sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
as a method to enable it.
We are open to any alternative that allows end users to enable this
mechanism or disable it if workload harm is detected (just like
traditional autonuma).
Once this is enabled page demotion may move data to a NUMA node that does
not fall into the cpuset of the allocating process. This could be
construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets. However, since this is an
opt-in mechanism, the assumption is that anyone enabling it is content to
relax the guarantees.

Global reclaim aims to reduce the amount of memory used on a given node or
set of nodes. Migrating pages to another node serves this purpose.
memcg reclaim is different. Its goal is to reduce the total memory
consumption of the entire memcg, across all nodes. Migration does not
assist memcg reclaim because it just moves page contents between nodes
rather than actually reducing memory consumption.

limits.
can_age_anon_pages() is a much simpler and more preliminary check which
just says whether there is a possibility of future reclaim.

Anonymous pages are kept on their own LRU(s). These lists could
theoretically always be scanned and maintained. But, without swap, there
is currently nothing the kernel can *do* with the results of a scanned,
sorted LRU for anonymous pages.
A check for '!total_swap_pages' currently serves as a valid check as to
whether anonymous LRUs should be maintained. However, another method will
be added shortly: page demotion.
Abstract out the 'total_swap_pages' checks into a helper, give it a
logically significant name, and check for the possibility of page
demotion.

This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/
Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data to
another NUMA node instead of discarding the data. This always avoids the
cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes avoids the
writeout cost when the page is dirty.
A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail. This essentially falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the case
that demotions fail. Previous versions of this patch may have simply
failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but were unable
to be demoted in practice.
For some cases, for example, MADV_PAGEOUT, the pages are always discarded
instead of demoted to follow the kernel API definition. Because
MADV_PAGEOUT is defined as freeing specified pages regardless in which
tier they are.
Note: This just adds the start of infrastructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().

Under normal circumstances, migrate_pages() returns the number of pages
migrated. In error conditions, it returns an error code. When returning
an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not
migrated.
Make migrate_pages() return how many pages are demoted successfully for
all cases, including when encountering errors. Page reclaim behavior will
depend on this in subsequent patches.

Reclaim-based migration is attempting to optimize data placement in memory
based on the system topology. If the system changes, so must the
migration ordering.
The implementation is conceptually simple and entirely unoptimized. On
any memory or CPU hotplug events, assume that a node was added or removed
and recalculate all migration targets. This ensures that the
node_demotion[] array is always ready to be used in case the new reclaim
mode is enabled.
This recalculation is far from optimal, most glaringly that it does not
even attempt to figure out the hotplug event would have some *actual*
effect on the demotion order. But, given the expected paucity of hotplug
events, this should be fine.

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

Patch series "userfaultfd: minor bug fixes".
Three unrelated bug fixes. The first two addresses possible issues (not
too theoretical ones), but I did not encounter them in practice.
The third patch addresses a test bug that causes the test to fail on my
system. It has been sent before as part of a bigger RFC.
This patch (of 3):
mmap_changing is currently a boolean variable, which is set and cleared
without any lock that protects against concurrent modifications.
mmap_changing is supposed to mark whether userfaultfd page-faults handling
should be retried since mappings are undergoing a change. However,
concurrent calls, for instance to madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), might cause
mmap_changing to be false, although the remove event was still not read
(hence acknowledged) by the user.
Change mmap_changing to atomic_t and increase/decrease appropriately. Add
a debug assertion to see whether mmap_changing is negative.

Upon further examination, it was discovered that the css structure was
associated with hugetlb reservations.
For private hugetlb mappings the vma points to a reserve map that
contains a pointer to the css. At mmap time, reservations are set up
and a reference to the css is taken. This reference is dropped in the
vma close operation; hugetlb_vm_op_close. However, if a vma is split no
additional reference to the css is taken yet hugetlb_vm_op_close will be
called twice for the split vma resulting in an underflow.
Fix by taking another reference in hugetlb_vm_op_open. Note that the
reference is only taken for the owner of the reserve map. In the more
common fork case, the pointer to the reserve map is cleared for
non-owning vmas.

When removing a hugetlb page from the pool the ref count is set to one (as
the free page has no ref count) and compound page destructor is set to
NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR. Since a subsequent call to free the hugetlb page will
call __free_pages for non-gigantic pages and free_gigantic_page for
gigantic pages the destructor is not used.
However, consider the following race with code taking a speculative
reference on the page:
Thread 0 Thread 1

remove_hugetlb_page
set_page_refcounted(page);
set_compound_page_dtor(page,
NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR);

__free_pages(page,
huge_page_order(h));
/* Note that __free_pages() will simply drop

__put_compound_page()
destroy_compound_page
NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR
BUG: kernel NULL pointer
dereference, address:
0000000000000000
To address this race, set the dtor to the normal compound page dtor for
non-gigantic pages. The dtor for gigantic pages does not matter as
gigantic pages are changed from a compound page to 'just a group of pages'
before freeing. Hence, the destructor is not used.

When discussing the possibility of inflated page ref counts, Muuchun Song
pointed out this potential issue [1]. It is true that any code could
potentially take a reference on a compound page after allocation and
before it is converted to and put into use as a hugetlb page.
Specifically, this could be done by any users of get_page_unless_zero.
There are three areas of concern within hugetlb code.
1) When adding pages to the pool. In this case, new pages are
allocated added to the pool by calling put_page to invoke the hugetlb
destructor (free_huge_page). If there is an inflated ref count on the
page, it will not be immediately added to the free list. It will only
be added to the free list when the temporary ref count is dropped.
This is deemed acceptable and will not be addressed.
2) A page is allocated for immediate use normally as a surplus page or
migration target. In this case, the user of the page will also hold a
reference. There is no issue as this is just like normal page ref
counting.
3) A page is allocated and MUST be added to the free list to satisfy a
reservation. One such example is gather_surplus_pages as pointed out
by Muchun in [1]. More specifically, this case covers callers of
enqueue_huge_page where the page reference count must be zero. This
patch covers this third case.
Three routines call enqueue_huge_page when the page reference count could
potentially be inflated. They are: gather_surplus_pages,
alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page and add_hugetlb_page.
add_hugetlb_page is called on error paths when a huge page can not be
freed due to the inability to allocate vmemmap pages. In this case, the
temporairly inflated ref count is not an issue. When the ref is dropped
the appropriate action will be taken. Instead of VM_BUG_ON if the ref
count does not drop to zero, simply return.
In gather_surplus_pages and alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page the caller
expects a page (or pages) to be put on the free lists. In this case we
must ensure there are no temporary ref counts. We do this by calling
put_page_testzero() earlier and not using pages without a zero ref count.
The temporary page flag (HPageTemporary) is used in such cases so that as
soon as the inflated ref count is dropped the page will be freed.

Code in prep_compound_gigantic_page waits for a rcu grace period if it
notices a temporarily inflated ref count on a tail page. This was due to
the identified potential race with speculative page cache references which
could only last for a rcu grace period. This is overly complicated as
this situation is VERY unlikely to ever happen. Instead, just quickly
return an error.
Also, only print a warning in prep_compound_gigantic_page instead of
multiple callers.
