Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4.
The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on
userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes.
It can be useful in two cases:
(1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot,
so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up
protections
(2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1]
It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the
new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the
pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to
service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later.
The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some
change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye
looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes. When
it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file
memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes.
File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of
none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not.
For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we
don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages.
One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without
wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the
holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when
the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros.
QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in
zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1].
Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for
detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2]. In that
case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty
info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the
current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being
cleared).
In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for
anonymous.
This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make
uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory
type is underneath. It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far
because we already have pte markers taking care of that. So it only
affects anonymous.
The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained.
Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will
contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte
markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte
markers. So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first
fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd.
The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand
pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the
new feature bit is set.
Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few
small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults. But
they should be straightforward.
With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all
the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot. Quotting from
Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]:
(1) With huge page disabled
echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 1111453 (pre-fault 1101011)
Test MADVISE: 278276 (pre-fault 266378)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 11712
(2) With Huge page enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 22521 (pre-fault 22348)
Test MADVISE: 4909 (pre-fault 4743)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 14448
There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with
extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE,
but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced
but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially
it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.

KASAN suppresses reports for bad accesses done by the KASAN reporting
code. The reporting code might access poisoned memory for reporting
purposes.
Software KASAN modes do this by suppressing reports during reporting via
current->kasan_depth, the same way they suppress reports during accesses
to poisoned slab metadata.
Hardware Tag-Based KASAN does not use current->kasan_depth, and instead
resets pointer tags for accesses to poisoned memory done by the reporting
code.
Despite that, a recursive report can still happen:
1. On hardware with faulty MTE support. This was observed by Weizhao
Ouyang on a faulty hardware that caused memory tags to randomly change
from time to time.
2. Theoretically, due to a previous MTE-undetected memory corruption.
A recursive report can happen via:
1. Accessing a pointer with a non-reset tag in the reporting code, e.g.
slab->slab_cache, which is what Weizhao Ouyang observed.
2. Theoretically, via external non-annotated routines, e.g. stackdepot.
To resolve this issue, resetting tags for all of the pointers in the
reporting code and all the used external routines would be impractical.
Instead, disable tag checking done by the CPU for the duration of KASAN
reporting for Hardware Tag-Based KASAN.
Without this fix, Hardware Tag-Based KASAN reporting code might deadlock.

mm/kasan/kasan.h provides a number of empty defines for a few
arch-specific tagging-related routines, in case the architecture code
didn't define them.
The original idea was to simplify integration in case another architecture
starts supporting memory tagging. However, right now, if any of those
routines are not provided by an architecture, Hardware Tag-Based KASAN
won't work.
Drop the empty defines, as it would be better to get compiler errors
rather than runtime crashes when adding support for a new architecture.
Also drop empty hw_enable_tagging_sync/async/asymm defines for
!CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS case, as those are only used in mm/kasan/hw_tags.c.

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:
- no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
- failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
- would block (-EAGAIN)
so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.
Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Use the very low level filemap_get_entry helper to look up the entry in
the xarray, and then:
- don't bother locking the folio if only doing a userfault notification
- open code locking the page and checking for truncation in a related
code block
This will allow to eventually remove the FGP_ENTRY flag.

Patch series "return an ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio", v3.
__filemap_get_folio and its wrappers can return NULL for three different
conditions, which in some cases requires the caller to reverse engineer
the decision making. This is fixed by returning an ERR_PTR instead of
NULL and thus transporting the reason for the failure. But to make
that work we first need to ensure that no xa_value special case is
returned and thus return the FGP_ENTRY flag. It turns out that flag
is barely used and can usually be deal with in a better way.
This patch (of 7):
split_huge_pages_in_file never wants to do anything with the special value
enties. Switch to using filemap_get_folio to not even see them.

The allocated dmapool pages are never freed for the lifetime of the pool.
There is no need for the two level list+stack lookup for finding a free
block since nothing is ever removed from the list. Just use a simple
stack, reducing time complexity to constant.
The implementation inserts the stack linking elements and the dma handle
of the block within itself when freed. This means the smallest possible
dmapool block is increased to at most 16 bytes to accommodate these
fields, but there are no exisiting users requesting a dma pool smaller
than that anyway.
Removing the list has a significant change in performance. Using the
kernel's micro-benchmarking self test:
Before:
# modprobe dmapool_test
dmapool test: size:16 blocks:8192 time:57282
dmapool test: size:64 blocks:8192 time:172562
dmapool test: size:256 blocks:8192 time:789247
dmapool test: size:1024 blocks:2048 time:371823
dmapool test: size:4096 blocks:1024 time:362237
After:
# modprobe dmapool_test
dmapool test: size:16 blocks:8192 time:24997
dmapool test: size:64 blocks:8192 time:26584
dmapool test: size:256 blocks:8192 time:33542
dmapool test: size:1024 blocks:2048 time:9022
dmapool test: size:4096 blocks:1024 time:6045
The module test allocates quite a few blocks that may not accurately
represent how these pools are used in real life. For a more marco level
benchmark, running fio high-depth + high-batched on nvme, this patch shows
submission and completion latency reduced by ~100usec each, 1% IOPs
improvement, and perf record's time spent in dma_pool_alloc/free were
reduced by half.

Time spent in dma_pool alloc/free increases linearly with the number of
pages backing the pool. We can reduce this to constant time with minor
changes to how free pages are tracked.
This patch (of 12):
Provide a module that allocates and frees many blocks of various sizes and
report how long it takes. This is intended to provide a consistent way to
measure how changes to the dma_pool_alloc/free routines affect timing.

TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER_DAX has nothing to do with DAX. It's set when
has_transparent_hugepage() returns false, checked in hugepage_vma_check()
and will disable THP completely if false. Rename it to
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_UNSUPPORTED to reflect its real purpose.

Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool. It only
requires that no shrinkers run in parallel, and doesn't care about
registering and unregistering of shrinkers.
Since slab shrink is protected by SRCU, synchronize_srcu() is sufficient
to ensure that no shrinker is running in parallel. So the shrinker_rwsem
in synchronize_shrinkers() is no longer needed, just remove it.

For now, reparent_shrinker_deferred() is the only holder of read lock of
shrinker_rwsem. And it already holds the global cgroup_mutex, so it will
not be called in parallel.
Therefore, in order to convert shrinker_rwsem to shrinker_mutex later,
here we change to hold the write lock of shrinker_rwsem to reparent.

After we make slab shrink lockless with SRCU, the longest sleep
unregister_shrinker() will be a sleep waiting for all do_shrink_slab()
calls.
To avoid long unbreakable action in the unregister_shrinker(), add
shrinker_srcu_generation to restore a check similar to the
rwsem_is_contendent() check that we had before.
And for memcg slab shrink, we unlock SRCU and continue iterations from the
next shrinker id.

The shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers subsystem,
which protects most operations such as slab shrink, registration and
unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause problems in the
following cases.
1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many
filesystems mounted or unmounted at the same time,
slab shrink will be affected (down_read_trylock()
failed).
Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:
```
One of the real workloads from my experience is start
of an overcommitted node containing many starting
containers after node crash (or many resuming containers
after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory
pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
```
2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned
in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs),
then this writer will be blocked and cause all
subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.
Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a
problem. If we have a long shrinker list and we do not reclaim enough
memory with each shrinker, then the down_read_trylock() may be called with
high frequency. Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic
operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per
cycle).
So many times in history ([2],[3],[4],[5]), some people wanted to replace
shrinker_rwsem trylock with SRCU in the slab shrink, but all these patches
were abandoned because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
But now, since commit 1cd0bd06093c ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_SRCU"), the SRCU
is unconditionally enabled. So it's time to use SRCU to protect readers
who previously held shrinker_rwsem.
This commit uses SRCU to make global slab shrink lockless,
the memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch.

Patch series "make slab shrink lockless", v5.
This patch series aims to make slab shrink lockless.
1. Background
=============
On our servers, we often find the following system cpu hotspots:
52.22% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.60% [kernel] [k] up_read
8.86% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
2.44% [kernel] [k] idr_find
1.25% [kernel] [k] count_shadow_nodes
1.18% [kernel] [k] shrink lruvec
0.71% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
0.71% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
0.55% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
And we used bpftrace to capture its calltrace as follows:

We can see that down_read_trylock() of shrinker_rwsem is being called with
high frequency at that time. Because of the poor multicore scalability of
atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC
(instructions per cycle).
And more, the shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers
subsystem, which protects most operations such as slab shrink,
registration and unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause
problems in the following cases.
1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many filesystems
mounted or unmounted at the same time, slab shrink will be affected
(down_read_trylock() failed).
Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:
```
One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an
overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash
(or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update). In these
cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
```
2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a
writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked
and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.
[1]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191129214541.3110-1-ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com/
All the above cases can be solved by replacing the shrinker_rwsem trylocks
with SRCU.
2. Survey
=========
Before doing the code implementation, I found that there were many similar
submissions in the community:
a. Davidlohr Bueso submitted a patch in 2015.
Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm: srcu-ify shrinkers
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1437080113.3596.2.camel@stgolabs.net/
Result: It was finally merged into the linux-next branch,
but failed on arm allnoconfig (without CONFIG_SRCU)
b. Tetsuo Handa submitted a patchset in 2017.
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,vmscan: Kill global shrinker lock.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1510609063-3327-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/
Result: Finally chose to use the current simple way (break
when rwsem_is_contended()). And Christoph Hellwig suggested to
using SRCU, but SRCU was not unconditionally enabled at the
time.
c. Kirill Tkhai submitted a patchset in 2018.
Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/10] Introduce lockless shrink_slab()
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/153365347929.19074.12509495712735843805.stgit@localhost.localdomain/
Result: At that time, SRCU was not unconditionally enabled,
and there were some objections to enabling SRCU. Later,
because Kirill's focus was moved to other things, this patchset
was not continued to be updated.
d. Sultan Alsawaf submitted a patch in 2021.
Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: Replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU protection
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927074823.5825-1-sultan@kerneltoast.com/
Result: Rejected because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
We can find that almost all these historical commits were abandoned
because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled. But now SRCU has been
unconditionally enable by Paul E. McKenney in 2023 [2], so it's time to
replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU.

We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling down_read_trylock()

This patch (of 8):
To prepare for the subsequent lockless memcg slab shrink, add a map_nr_max
field to struct shrinker_info to records its own real shrinker_nr_max.

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

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

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

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping. However we have
check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes
later. Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if
they should in theory not happen.
This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

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

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2.
I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the
page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the
innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful
to others. It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates
systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap
and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for
those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1).
To see if you hit swap:
mkswap /dev/nvme2n1
swapon /dev/nvme2n1
free -h
With swap - what we see today
=============================
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.2Gi 2.2Gi 1.2Gi
Swap: 99Gi 2.8Gi 97Gi
Without swap
=============
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 387Mi 3.4Gi 2.1Mi 57Mi 3.3Gi
Swap: 99Gi 0B 99Gi
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.3Gi 2.3Gi 1.1Gi
Swap: 99Gi 21Mi 99Gi
The mix and match remount testing
=================================
# Cannot disable swap after it was first enabled:
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg -c
tmpfs: Cannot disable swap on remount
# Remount with the same noswap option is OK:

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

The last remaining user of folio_write_one through the write_one_page
wrapper is jfs, so move the functionality there and hard code the call to
metapage_writepage.
Note that the use of the pagecache by the JFS 'metapage' buffer cache is a
bit odd, and we could probably do without VM-level dirty tracking at all,
but that's a change for another time.

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

s390 can do more fine-grained handling of spurious TLB protection faults,
when there also is the PTE pointer available.
Therefore, pass on the PTE pointer to flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as an
additional parameter.
This will add no functional change to other architectures, but those with
private flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() implementations need to be made
aware of the new parameter.
