The CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro was designed to have callers do
something meaningful/protective on failure. However, using "return
false" in the macro too strictly limits the design patterns of callers.
Instead, let callers handle the logic test directly, but make sure that
the result IS checked by forcing __must_check (which appears to not be
able to be used directly on macro expressions).

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal
integers 0, 1, 2. Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the
checking more expressive:
0 → HIDEPID_OFF
1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS
2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE
This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface
remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.
No functional changes.

Make a kasan test which uses a SLAB_ACCOUNT slab cache. If the test is
run within a non default memcg, then it uncovers the bug fixed by
"kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects"[1].
If run without fix [1] it shows "Slab cache still has objects", and the
kmem_cache structure is leaked.
Here's an unpatched kernel test:
$ dmesg -c > /dev/null
$ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
$ echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks
$ modprobe test_kasan 2> /dev/null

[ 124.456789] kmem_cache_destroy test_cache: Slab cache still has objects
Kernels with fix [1] don't have the "Slab cache still has objects"
warning or the underlying leak.
The new test runs and passes in the default (root) memcg, though in the
root memcg it won't uncover the problem fixed by [1].

Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
- kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
- Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
__GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
kmem_cache.
- Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
- kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
kmem cache being destroyed.
To see the problem:
1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,)
2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache
3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy()
will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating
that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked.
Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non
root memcg.
Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled. kmem_cache_destroy() =>
shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache()
flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been
rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches().
This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is
enabled. So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

Commit 31bc3858ea ("add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory") provides the capability to have added memory automatically
onlined during add, but this appears to be slightly broken.
The current implementation uses walk_memory_range() to call
online_memory_block, which uses memory_block_change_state() to online
the memory. Instead, we should be calling device_online() for the
memory block in online_memory_block(). This would online the memory
(the memory bus online routine memory_subsys_online() called from
device_online calls memory_block_change_state()) and properly update the
device struct offline flag.
As a result of the current implementation, attempting to remove a memory
block after adding it using auto online fails. This is because doing a
remove, for instance
echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
uses device_offline() which checks the dev->offline flag.

We had used page->lru to link the component pages (except the first
page) of a zspage, and used INIT_LIST_HEAD(&page->lru) to init it.
Therefore, to get the last page's next page, which is NULL, we had to
use page flag PG_Private_2 to identify it.
But now, we use page->freelist to link all of the pages in zspage and
init the page->freelist as NULL for last page, so no need to use
PG_Private_2 anymore.
This remove redundant SetPagePrivate2 in create_page_chain and
ClearPagePrivate2 in reset_page(). Save a few cycles for migration of

At the end of a window period, if the reclaimed pages is greater than
scanned, an unsigned underflow can result in a huge pressure value and
thus a critical event. Reclaimed pages is found to go higher than
scanned because of the addition of reclaimed slab pages to reclaimed in
shrink_node without a corresponding increment to scanned pages.
Minchan Kim mentioned that this can also happen in the case of a THP
page where the scanned is 1 and reclaimed could be 512.

When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim
pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low
watermark. On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page
reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim().
On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance
of Node-A to Node-A. So the preferred node even won't be scanned for
page reclaim.
__alloc_pages_nodemask()
get_page_from_freelist()
zone_allows_reclaim()
Anton proposed the test code as below:
# cat alloc.c
:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
void *p;
unsigned long size;
unsigned long start, end;
start = time(NULL);
size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0);
printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size);
size <<= 30;
p = malloc(size);
assert(p);
memset(p, 0, size);
end = time(NULL);
printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start);
sleep(3600);
return 0;
}
The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes. Both have 128GB
memory. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed
when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation.
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
sync; \
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \
# taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \
grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
Node 0 FilePages: 33619712 kB
# taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128

Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB
# grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
Node 0 MemFree: 186816 kB
With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its
free memory is running out. It's the expected behaviour.
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
sync; \
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

from the above data, the benefit is about 2.5% and up to 3% of total

The defect of the patch is that when we recovery a page from non-zero
element the operations are low efficient for partial read.
This patch extends zero_page to same_page so if there is any user to
have monitored zero_pages, he will be surprised if the number is
increased but it's not harmful, I believe.

With this our protnone becomes a present pte with READ/WRITE/EXEC bit

For such pte, we will clear the _PAGE_PRIVILEGED bit. The pte still

Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2.
This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma
preserve write feature. migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal
with concurrent modification of the page. It does a page copy without
following the migration pte sequence. IIUC, this was done to keep the
migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP
page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme.
That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write
to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page
content. This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that. We are
good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we
never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte.
This patch (of 2):
Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid
taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106 " mm: numa:
preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault").
Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may
choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte.
Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour. Fix
this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a
protnone pte.

Architectures like ppc64, use privilege access bit to mark pte non
accessible. This implies that kernel can do a copy_to_user to an
address marked for numa fault. This also implies that there can be a
parallel hardware update for the pte. set_pte_at cannot be used in such
scenarios. Hence switch the pte update to use ptep_get_and_clear and

Running my likely/unlikely profiler, I discovered that the test in
shmem_write_begin() that tests for info->seals as unlikely, is always
incorrect. This is because shmem_get_inode() sets info->seals to have
F_SEAL_SEAL set by default, and it is unlikely to be cleared when
shmem_write_begin() is called. Thus, the if statement is very likely.
But as the if statement block only cares about F_SEAL_WRITE and
F_SEAL_GROW, change the test to only test those two bits.

Hillf Danton pointed out that since commit 1d82de618d ("mm, vmscan:
make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") that PGDAT_WRITEBACK is no
longer cleared.
It was not noticed as triggering it requires pages under writeback to
cycle twice through the LRU and before kswapd gets stalled.
Historically, such issues tended to occur on small machines writing
heavily to slow storage such as a USB stick.
Once kswapd stalls, direct reclaim stalls may be higher but due to the
fact that memory pressure is required, it would not be very noticable.
Michal Hocko suggested removing the flag entirely but the conservative
fix is to restore the intended PGDAT_WRITEBACK behaviour and clear the
flag when a suitable zone is balanced.

There are many reasons of CMA allocation failure such as EBUSY, ENOMEM,
EINTR. But we did not know error reason so far. This patch prints the
error value.
Additionally if CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, this patch shows bitmap
status to know available pages. Actually CMA internally tries on all
available regions because some regions can be failed because of EBUSY.
Bitmap status is useful to know in detail on both ENONEM and EBUSY;
ENOMEM: not tried at all because of no available region
it could be too small total region or could be fragmentation issue
EBUSY: tried some region but all failed
This is an ENOMEM example with this patch.

If CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, avabile pages also will be shown as

If madvise(2) advice will result in the underlying vma being split and
the number of areas mapped by the process will exceed
/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count as a result, return ENOMEM instead of EAGAIN.
EAGAIN is returned by madvise(2) when a kernel resource, such as slab,
is temporarily unavailable. It indicates that userspace should retry
the advice in the near future. This is important for advice such as
MADV_DONTNEED which is often used by malloc implementations to free
memory back to the system: we really do want to free memory back when
madvise(2) returns EAGAIN because slab allocations (for vmas, anon_vmas,
or mempolicies) cannot be allocated.
Encountering /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count is not a temporary failure,
however, so return ENOMEM to indicate this is a more serious issue. A
followup patch to the man page will specify this behavior.

with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably right for all
current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more
use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some

Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask

Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.
Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.
The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

Patch series "userfaultfd: non-cooperative: better tracking for mapping
changes", v2.
These patches try to address issues I've encountered during integration
of userfaultfd with CRIU.
Previously added userfaultfd events for fork(), madvise() and mremap()
unfortunately do not cover all possible changes to a process virtual
memory layout required for uffd monitor.
When one or more VMAs is removed from the process mm, the external uffd
monitor has no way to detect those changes and will attempt to fill the
removed regions with userfaultfd_copy.
Another problematic event is the exit() of the process. Here again, the
external uffd monitor will try to use userfaultfd_copy, although mm
owning the memory has already gone.
The first patch in the series is a minor cleanup and it's not strictly
related to the rest of the series.
The patches 2 and 3 below add UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP and UFFD_EVENT_EXIT to
allow the uffd monitor track changes in the memory layout of a process.
The patches 4 and 5 amend error codes returned by userfaultfd_copy to
make the uffd monitor able to cope with races that might occur between
delivery of unmap and exit events and outstanding userfaultfd_copy's.
This patch (of 5):
Commit dc0ef0df7b ("mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm
syscalls") replaced call to vm_munmap in munmap syscall with open coded
version to allow different waits on mmap_sem in munmap syscall and
vm_munmap.
Now both functions use down_write_killable, so we can restore the call
to vm_munmap from the munmap system call.
