I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

Whatever huge pagecache implementation we go with, file rmap locking
must be added to anon rmap locking, when mremap's move_page_tables()
finds a pmd_trans_huge pmd entry: a simple change, let's do it now.
Factor out take_rmap_locks() and drop_rmap_locks() to handle the locking
for make move_ptes() and move_page_tables(), and delete the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA which rejected vm_file and required anon_vma.

a VM_NOHUGEPAGE check on new_vma flags, but the new_vma is cloned from
the old vma, so a trans_huge_pmd in the new_vma will be as acceptable as
it was in the old vma, alignment and size permitting.

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of
per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever
before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a
bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an
inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge"
amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless,
this is still a useful knob.
Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into
reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse.
Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h
Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and
since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as
0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative
after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of
NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code.
But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED
often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but
have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by
just ignoring the anomaly on those.

Although shmem_fault() has been careful to count a major fault to vm_mm,
shmem_getpage_gfp() has been careless in charging a remote access fault
to current->mm owner's memcg instead of to vma->vm_mm owner's memcg:
that is inconsistent with all the mem_cgroup charging on remote access
faults in mm/memory.c.
Fix it by passing fault_mm along with fault_type to
shmem_get_page_gfp(); but in that case, now knowing the right mm, it's
better for it to handle the PGMAJFAULT updates itself.
And let's keep this clutter out of most callers' way: change the common
shmem_getpage() wrapper to hide fault_mm and fault_type as well as gfp.

Make a few cleanups in mm/shmem.c, before going on to complicate it.
shmem_alloc_page() will become more complicated: we can't afford to to
have that complication duplicated between a CONFIG_NUMA version and a
!CONFIG_NUMA version, so rearrange the #ifdef'ery there to yield a
single shmem_swapin() and a single shmem_alloc_page().
Yes, it's a shame to inflict the horrid pseudo-vma on non-NUMA
configurations, but eliminating it is a larger cleanup: I have an
alloc_pages_mpol() patchset not yet ready - mpol handling is subtle and
bug-prone, and changed yet again since my last version.
Move __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked from shmem_getpage_gfp() to
shmem_alloc_page(): that SwapBacked flag will be useful in future, to
help to distinguish different cases appropriately.
And the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE is hard to understand and of
little use (IIRC it dates back to when shmem_getpage() returned the page
unlocked): kill it and do the necessary in shmem_file_read_iter().
But an arm64 build then complained that info may be uninitialized (where
shmem_getpage_gfp() deletes a freshly alloced page beyond eof), and
advancing to an "sgp <= SGP_CACHE" test jogged it back to reality.

v3.16 commit 07a4278843 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).
That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.
Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.
Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.
There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy
reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per
call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page.
Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose
to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by
nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both.
With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where
__mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding
some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and
simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update.
The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the
pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but
I still think this a simplification worth making.
However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so
better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size
when CONFIG_MEMCG.

Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting
lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the
vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly
doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched().
That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario,
with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet
has a totally different origin.
Help differentiate with a custom warning in
mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the
size to avoid the lockup. But the particular bug which suggested this
change was mine alone, and since fixed.
Make it a WARN_ONCE: the first occurrence is the most informative, a
flurry may follow, yet even when rate-limited little more is learnt.

This patchset deals with some problematic sites that iterate pfn ranges.
There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows:
-----pfn-------->
N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2
Therefore, we need to take care of this overlapping when iterating pfn
range.
I audit many iterating sites that uses pfn_valid(), pfn_valid_within(),
zone_start_pfn and etc. and others looks safe to me. This is a
preparation step for a new CMA implementation, ZONE_CMA
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/12/95), because it would be easily
overlapped with other zones. But, zone overlap check is also needed for
the general case so I send it separately.
This patch (of 5):
alloc_gigantic_page() uses alloc_contig_range() and this requires that
the requested range is in a single zone. To satisfy this requirement,
add this check to pfn_range_valid_gigantic().

The goal of direct compaction is to quickly make a high-order page
available for the pending allocation. Within an aligned block of pages
of desired order, a single allocated page that cannot be isolated for
migration means that the block cannot fully merge to a buddy page that
would satisfy the allocation request. Therefore we can reduce the
allocation stall by skipping the rest of the block immediately on
isolation failure. For async compaction, this also means a higher
chance of succeeding until it detects contention.
We however shouldn't completely sacrifice the second objective of
compaction, which is to reduce overal long-term memory fragmentation.
As a compromise, perform the eager skipping only in direct async
compaction, while sync compaction (including kcompactd) remains
thorough.

Compaction drains the local pcplists each time migration scanner moves
away from a cc->order aligned block where it isolated pages for
migration, so that the pages freed by migrations can merge into higher
orders.
The detection is currently coarser than it could be. The
cc->last_migrated_pfn variable should track the lowest pfn that was
isolated for migration. But it is set to the pfn where
isolate_migratepages_block() starts scanning, which is typically the
first pfn of the pageblock. There, the scanner might fail to isolate
several order-aligned blocks, and then isolate COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX in
another block. This would cause the pcplists drain to be performed,
although the scanner didn't yet finish the block where it isolated from.
This patch thus makes cc->last_migrated_pfn handling more accurate by
setting it to the pfn of an actually isolated page in
isolate_migratepages_block(). Although practical effects of this patch
are likely low, it arguably makes the intent of the code more obvious.
Also the next patch will make async direct compaction skip blocks more
aggressively, and draining pcplists due to skipped blocks is wasteful.

Wrap these calculations by introducing pageblock_start_pfn(pfn) and

When any unsupported hugepage size is specified, 'hugepagesz=' and
'hugepages=' should be ignored during command line parsing until any
supported hugepage size is found. But currently incorrect number of
hugepages are allocated when unsupported size is specified as it fails
to ignore the 'hugepages=' command.
Test case:
Note that this is specific to x86 architecture.
Boot the kernel with command line option 'hugepagesz=256M hugepages=X'.
After boot, dmesg output shows that X number of hugepages of the size 2M
is pre-allocated instead of 0.
So, to handle such command line options, introduce new routine
hugetlb_bad_size. The routine hugetlb_bad_size sets the global variable
parsed_valid_hugepagesz. We are using parsed_valid_hugepagesz to save
the state when unsupported hugepagesize is found so that we can ignore
the 'hugepages=' parameters after that and then reset the variable when
supported hugepage size is found.
The routine hugetlb_bad_size can be called while setting 'hugepagesz='
parameter in an architecture specific code.

It was observed that minimum size accounting associated with the
hugetlbfs min_size mount option may not perform optimally and as
expected. As huge pages/reservations are released from the filesystem
and given back to the global pools, they are reserved for subsequent
filesystem use as long as the subpool reserved count is less than
subpool minimum size. It does not take into account used pages within
the filesystem. The filesystem size limits are not exceeded and this is
technically not a bug. However, better behavior would be to wait for
the number of used pages/reservations associated with the filesystem to
drop below the minimum size before taking reservations to satisfy
minimum size.
An optimization is also made to the hugepage_subpool_get_pages() routine
which is called when pages/reservations are allocated. This does not
change behavior, but simply avoids the accounting if all reservations
have already been taken (subpool reserved count == 0).

Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions. This helps
gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't
alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the
pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing).
A simple example of what this allows gcc to do can be seen by looking at
the last part of drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset:
plane->state = kzalloc(sizeof(*plane->state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (plane->state) {
plane->state->plane = plane;
plane->state->rotation = BIT(DRM_ROTATE_0);
}
which compiles to

With this patch applied, the instruction at [*] is elided, since the

plane->state.

gcc as far back as at least 3.04 documents the function attribute
__malloc__. Add a shorthand for attaching that to a function
declaration. This was also suggested by Andi Kleen way back in 2002
[1], but didn't get applied, perhaps because gcc at that time generated
the exact same code with and without this attribute.
This attribute tells the compiler that the return value (if non-NULL)
can be assumed not to alias any other valid pointers at the time of the
call.
Please note that the documentation for a range of gcc versions (starting
from around 4.7) contained a somewhat confusing and self-contradicting
text:
The malloc attribute is used to tell the compiler that a function may
be treated as if any non-NULL pointer it returns cannot alias any other
pointer valid when the function returns and *that the memory has
undefined content*. [...] Standard functions with this property include
malloc and *calloc*.
(emphasis mine). The intended meaning has later been clarified [2]:
This tells the compiler that a function is malloc-like, i.e., that the
pointer P returned by the function cannot alias any other pointer valid
when the function returns, and moreover no pointers to valid objects
occur in any storage addressed by P.
What this means is that we can apply the attribute to kmalloc and
friends, and it is ok for the returned memory to have well-defined
contents (__GFP_ZERO). But it is not ok to apply it to kmemdup(), nor
to other functions which both allocate and possibly initialize the
memory with existing pointers. So unless someone is doing something
pretty perverted kstrdup() should also be a fine candidate.

who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be

Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize
the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a
new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed
at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized
freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are
generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability
of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks
much less stable.
For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB)
would be affected:
https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/
Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It
means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly
discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple
use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too.
To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of
entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function
will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift
random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages.
The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will
be extended to other allocators like SLUB.
Performance results highlighted no major changes:
Hackbench (running 90 10 times):
Before average: 0.0698
After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%)
slab_test 1 run on boot. Difference only seen on the 2048 size test
being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization. New
slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.
Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few
allocations.

When we call __kmem_cache_shrink on memory cgroup removal, we need to
synchronize kmem_cache->cpu_partial update with put_cpu_partial that
might be running on other cpus. Currently, we achieve that by using
kick_all_cpus_sync, which works as a system wide memory barrier. Though
fast it is, this method has a flaw - it issues a lot of IPIs, which
might hurt high performance or real-time workloads.
To fix this, let's replace kick_all_cpus_sync with synchronize_sched.
Although the latter one may take much longer to finish, it shouldn't be
a problem in this particular case, because memory cgroups are destroyed
asynchronously from a workqueue so that no user visible effects should
be introduced. OTOH, it will save us from excessive IPIs when someone
removes a cgroup.
Anyway, even if using synchronize_sched turns out to take too long, we
can always introduce a kind of __kmem_cache_shrink batching so that this
method would only be called once per one cgroup destruction (not per
each per memcg kmem cache as it is now).

To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a
lock. But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be
even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap
it. So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to
hold a lock. This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation
case.
Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by
writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it
freely within interrupt disabled period.
Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation
benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler.
The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is
better.
* Before
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152

Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078
* After
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067
Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229

It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to
128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill(). But,
with considering improvement of free performance, net result looks the
same. Result for other size class looks very promising, roughly, 50%
performance improvement.
